Whitley. "We are having all the ore

A COOK WITHOUT CURIOSITY
Hears Footsteps on the Roof and Jing-
ling Glass But Is Not
Interested. =

The cook at the Owl restaurant who
works on the night shift is not curious
person. The Owl restaurant is next door
to the cigar store of Swend Carlson,
which was robbed by burglars on Mon
day night.
At o'clock in the morning of the night
of the burglary he heard sound Of
fctsteps on the roof of the restaurant
and a jingling of breaking glass. But
neither his interest nor his curiosity was
aroused. Therefore he did not investi-
gate the noises, though they were un-
usual enough to have moved the ordinary
man to such a step. =
The burglars who robbed the cigar
store were compelled to walk on the
roof of the restaurant in order to get
into the store through the window that
opens on the roof. If the cook had had
little of the trouble that got Lots wife
such a famous place in sacred history
he might have captured the burglars in
the act. He missed fine chance.

"MED" J0SHED THE SHERIFF
Butte Man Who Made a Loud Noise in
Serene Old Missoula Had
Trouble

Willis c. Medhurst went to Missoula
last Sunday and attended the Wood
mans picnic at that place. Willis is a
gay and frolicsome youth with liking
for baseball and kindred outdoor sports.
The Butte nine and the Missoula aggre-
cation were playing a close and exciting
game Sunday afternoon and the crowd
was on the tip toe Of anxiety to see the
events of the game go and the tide of
victory ebb and flow. Medhurst was able
to secure bets to the amount of 800 on
the Butte team and was happy in the
anticipation of counting Missoula money
and carrying away the snug roll Of bills
SO grudgingly wagered by the cautious
MfssOulians. Med was in the height
OF his glory-he was in clover in fact
for clover grows riotOusly in the Bitter
Root. The man from Butte capered over
the grass like a glad young thing and
above the cheers of the crowd could be
heard the clarion voice of Medhurst of
Butte cheering the Butte boys to VIC
tory. Not satisfied with yelling until
his voice disturbed sick man IL miles
down the valley Med" secured "horse
fiddle" and added this din to the un-
earthly noises of the battle ground. A
4horse fiddle" Is box with a string at
tachment which, when properly manipu-
lated, makes shrill ear-piercing noise
like the wall of a lost soul. At the first
note of this weird instrument a deputy
sheriff ran out from the crowd and ac-
costed the enthusiastic man from Butte.
''Hey there!" he said, "let up on that.
We can't have you maxim such noise"
who the dtckins are you and what
have you got to say about it?" asked
the man with the "horse fiddle"
The crowd had closed in by this time
and the deputy sheriff opened his coat
and distended his chest, displaying a
bright, shining tin star.
"Oh!" said Med" with little shrek
OF delight. ''Your the town dog catcher
amt you? Glad to see you."

IT IS NOW UP TO THE JUDGE
Habeas Corpus Hearing Will Be De-
cided by Judge McClernan Mon
daY-Status Of the Case.

aSS&kA0 Va SA0 V0S0s
At the conclusion of the hearing Of
Judge E. w. Harney's petition for writ
Of habeas corpus in department No. OF
the district court last evening Judge Nc
Clernan announced that he would rem
der a decision Monday.
The application for the writ had its
origin in the attempt of Notary ]. G.
Galbraith to take the dispositions of
Judge Harvey. Ada H. Bracket and the
clBrk and bailiff of Judge Harney's court
In support Of motion for a new trial
in the suit brought by Miles Finlen
against F. Augustus Heinze and others
to recover possession of the Minnie
Healey mine. which the plaintiff alleges
Heinze wrested from him in a manner
contrary to law.
AS has been stated, Judge Harvey,
Mrs. Bracket and the clerk and bailiff
in department No. refused point blank
to be sworn and give testimony and the
notary ordered them into the custody of
the sheriff. This occurred last week and
on tn same day the four asked the judge
of department 3 to review the record of
the notary with view to ascertaining
Just where they stood if they stood at
all. The writ of review was granted and
tie hearing set for yesterday. Follow
ing this proceeding the Quartette petit
toned the court for a writ of habeas
corpus and it was decided to hear the
latter first.
When the decision is rendered Mon
day the twenty days additional time
granted by Judge Harvey for filing the
afi1davits in support of the motion for a
new trial will have reached the border
of the limit. as the time will expire with
the day following.
1t was the intention Of Notary Gal-
braith to resume his attempt today to
take the dispositions of the various per-
sons but on account of the condition of
the habeas corpus matter in Judge Nc
Clernan's court nothing was done, as
the notary was enjoined last week from
continuing the attempt pending the de-
termination of the habeas corpus and
writ Of review hearings.

Rod Leggat,s Return.

II shall always be FMontanian," said
Mr.. Rod Leggat yesterday, as he got
off a hack and tried to pass through
crowd Of friends who were anxious 70
shake hands with him; ''but just at
present I'm from the richest spot on
earth, and that's over In Idaho across
the mountains. That's where we raise

In any Othor region in the country ex-
cept the Galiatin valley. I saw a farmer
last week in the dumps because he had
expected to make big cleanup on his
watermelons, but was disappointed and
scored a total loss. The melons grew so
large that they could not be handled for
pieces. Then of course they were of no
account unless consumed ON the spot. I
never before, heard Of watermelons SO
large that they could not be handled for
shipment.
Where am I going?' asked Mr.. Leg
gat to many questions from his friends.

get some more or sell what have. It
all depends on how the country strikes
me. But II it's good enough for John
Noyes. Bill Owsley and other old-time
prospectors, it's good enough for me-
Then Mr.. Leggat accepted the hos
pitality OF Capt. John Mccormick at the
latter's elegant residence on East Gran
lite street, and the incident concluded.

LONG FOR THE LAKE BREEzES
Passengers En- Route East Buy Trans
portation by Way of the Inland
Water Route.

1.-THE hot weather is a great thing for
the lake passenger traffic" said w. r.
Meech of the Great Northern Office.
1.-The Great Northern steamers from Du-
luth Chicago, Buffalo and Detroit are
being loaded as never before. A passen-
ger is lucky to secure birth even two
weeks ahead of the date OF sailing. Peo-
pie get aboard of the boats to have q
ride on the lakes. The may or may not
care to go anywhere in particular, but
the lake is always cool, and it is inexpen-
sive to live on board the boats for days.
or even weeks.
During the hot season the great lakes
offer the best summer resort one cap
find in the whole country. The Pictured
Rocks of Lake Superior the Thousand
Isles, and all the beauties of the long
route, make the trip a delightful one.
All the steamer lines are being crowded
this year as never before. The people
are just beginning to learn how really
fine a lake voyage is in the hot weather.
This years exceptional heat is their
teacher.
The Great Northern is preparing for
immense shipping docks at West Super
ior. at the head of Lake Superior, to
handle the Paclflc crowd. Inc COCKS are
to be three miles in length, and the larg-
est in the world. Most of the freight
which crosses the continent will go by
way of the lakes, as water transporta-
tion is much cheaper than rail. The new
steamers for the Great Northern's trade
on the Pacific. will be the greatest
freight carriers ever built. One of them
would move a town of three thousand
people with all the personal baggage
and enough food stuff to feed them for
years. They will be great feeders for
the lake trade"

ROYAL HIGHLANDERs' TROUBLE
One of Them Must Face a Grand Lar
ceny Charge Preferred by
Another.

There is trouble among the Royal
Highlanders. The Royal Highlanders'
society Is one of the fraternal Organiza-
tons of Butte, and on the 9Th Of jan
uary it gave a public entertainment.
Out of this social relaxation springs
the trouble.
A. P. ellis as Royal Highlander, and
a charge of grand larceny is hanging
over him in the justice court presided
over by Judge Arnold. He is accused Of
appropriating admission tickets to the
value of $2O3.30. The complainant in
the case is ]. r. McQuaig, another
Highlander.
Mr.. Gillis is in the stucco business,
and has been a resident of Butte for
the past two years. At one time, 1t IL
understood, he was the secretary of the
society. At all events, according to a
statement made today by his counsel,
M. Donlan, when the January entertain-
ment was given he was a member Of tho
executive committee appointed to carry
it out. Mr.. McQuaig was another mem-
Der of the committee. In his official ca
pacity as executive committeeman. Mr..
ellis had charge Of a number of the ad-
mission tickets to the entertainment.
The complaint alleges that the$203 80
worth of tickets was embezzled while he
had charge of the same.
Mr.. Donlan stated in behalf of his
client that the latter had distributed the
tickets entrusted to him among Othpr
members Of the society to SELL These
tickets. he says, have not been returned
nor accounted for by Mr.. ellis. There
fore. the latter is unable to account for
them to the society, and out of this con-
dition comes the charge of misappropria-
ton. The complaint charges that the
grand larceny took place about the 3Oth
of January, which date was four days
after the entertainment was given. IL.
Judge Arnold fixed the bond Of Gillis
at $3.50, and it was furnished by the
latter.

Stormy Matrimonial Voyage-Di-
vorce COMPLAINT Tells the Story.

Annie Mary Matson is suing Matt Mat
son to secure an annulment of the mar
rage contract that has existed between

butes this state of affairs to his alleged
