If Leaverton's Father Comes
to the Front
WITH THE DOUGH
A".Slender Chance for the Great Falls
Lothario to Yet Escape the
e = Penitentiary.

Great Falls April 21.-Harry w.
beaverton, who was caught in George
w. Ryans grocery store at an early
hour Thursday morning and confessed
gregating about $500, from the safe,
has changed his mind about pleading
guilty and now processes to intend
making fight. He has been held for
trial in the district court on charge
of grand larceny, the penalty for
which is Imprisonment from 1 to IA
years, but it is possible that the
charge may yet be changed to burg
larry in the first degree, the penalty
of which is Imprisonment for from
to Is years.
County Attorney Gormley expects to
file an information against beaverton
tomorrow, in the district court. and
it will then be known whether or not
he will plead guilty. He has retained
Attorney John A. Largent, Mrs. Leav-
erton and Miss Coleman conducting
the negotiations, and it was given out
yesterday, by both women, that the
prisoners father, Samuel beaverton,
a wealthy banker of Sheridan,
Wyo., who has been in Los Angeles,
has started for Great Falls, to aid his
son. Persons who knew beaverton IN
Billings and ON Goose creek, in the
Big Horn country, in Wyoming, are
very reluctant to believe the story
that his father will help him, for the
elder beaverton years ago refused to
assist the son out of serious pre-
dicament, and insisted upon his leav-
ing the vicinity of his fathers home.
Some of Leaverton's friends claim
that his father will restore the money
that the young man stole and thus Sc.
cure dismissal of the prosecution,
but the law places great obstacle in
the way of such procedure, making it
a crime for anyone to compound a
felony. After the case once gets into
the district court, it cannot be dis.
missed without an order of the court
after proper showing of inability to
convict has been made by the county
attorney. There is not any likeli-
hood that such showing will ever
be made, and the chances are that
beaverton will have to either plead
guilty or await trial at the June term
of court.
| The money that beaverton stole
said to amount to about $1,5O0-is
gone, all the little property that he
has is heavily incumbered.
| Miss Coleman's mother arrived from
Butte yesterday and will remain here
for several days.

Cases Of Great Magnitude Be-

TO INCREASE BONDS
And to Release the C1arks as Sureties in
The Pennsylvania Mining
Case.
Special Dispatch to the Bee:

Special Dispatch to the Bee:
Helena, April 22.-The supreme
court of the state today heard argu-.
ments by counsel for the Boston &
Montana, and Montana Ore Purchasing
company upon the motion Of the Bos-
ton & Montana for an increase of the
bond furnished by the Montana Ore
Purchasing company-Heinze-to pro-
tect the Boston & Montana for ores
extracted from the Pennsylvania mine
in Butte, pending the appeal to the
supreme court The present bond
is nine hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. Since the Montana Ore Pur-
chasing company has been working
the mine, under the terms of the pro-
visional injunction, which provides,
that the mine will be closed down un-
less the Montana Ore Purchasing Co.
furnishes an adequate bond, the Bos-
ton & Montana claims that ore to the
amount of one and one quarter million
dollars has been taken out.
Frank Klepetko, general manager OF
the mines and smelters Of the Boston
& Montana, testified in court today.
He based his figures upon the monthly
statements furnished by the Montana
Ore Purchasing company of the ore
taken from June of last year to March
/, inclusive. The Montana Ore Pur-
chasing company attorney resisted
the motion, and the court reserved
judgment.
The court also heard today motion
of the Montana Ore Purchasing COM
pany to have the injunction in the
same case dissolved, because of de-
cision of the court in the case OF
Adolph Wetzstein against the Bos-
ton & Montana. A similar action in
which it is claimed the same princi-
pies are involved.
The court has set for hearing Thurs
day the petition of w. A. Clark and
his son, C. w. Clark, asking to be al
lowed to withdraw his sureties from
the big bond in the Pennsylvania case.

SIR ALFRED's ADMISSION.

If anything were lacking to con.
vince the civilized world that England
has completely failed to conquer the
Beers. that lacking testimony has
been forthcoming within the last two
days.
The first evidence was the announce
ment that the Beers have an armed
force of $4,000 men still in the field,
divided into three divisions under
three of the most prominent Boer lead.
ers-to say nothing of the guerrilla
bands which are scattered widely
throughout the Transvaal.
The second and more important
piece of evidence is the confession Of
Sir Alfred Miller, the governments
peace representative in South Africa,
asking for recall to England and the
declaration which he makes as basis
therefor
The Beers, at no time since the war
began two years ago, have had over
$4,000 men in the field-and If 1t has
taken an army of 100000 men and the
expenditure of lone thousand five
hundred million dollars" to reduce
that army from $4,000 to $4,000 men,
England will never be able to raise
money and men enough to conquer the
remaining $4,000.
But this information comes from the
friends of the Beers and therefore
will be discounted by the friends 81
England-but no such discount can be
placed upon the language of Sir AL
fred. Listen to a few declarations
which Sir Alfred makes:
Il have not the slightest doubt ot
the ultimate result - but foresee
that the work will be slower, more diff
ficult, more harassing and more expen
sive than it was at any time anticipat
ed"
And this declaration from England's
civil representative, made to Joseph
Chamberlain, the head and front oi
the war party-the man directly re
sponsible for the war-after England
has fought two years and made the
enormous sacrifices set forth above!
Again Sir Alfred says:
To-day the scene is completely al
tered. It would be superduous t.
dwell on the increased losses to tht
country caused by the prolongation a
the struggle by the form which it hal
recently assumed.
'The enemy Is now broken up int

COLONY OF LEPERS.
About 200 Unfortunates on the Island
of Teneriffe.

of Teneriffe.
The existence of about 200 lepers
on the island Of Teneriffe, Canary ISL
ands, has been officially reported at
Washington by the United States Con-
sui Berliner at Teneriffe. He says
there are three distinct classes of
lepers on Teneriffe island, namely,
lepra elephants and lepra tuberculo-
sis. The disease diverges into two
main varieties, the spotted and the
nodular. The report is based on per-
sonal investigation and assistance OF
physicians and says:
"Leprosy is somewhat epidemic
among people here, on account of their
eating a good deal of fish, often putrid
and their general uncleanliness.
"As to being contagious, it is gener.
ally discredited here, but in my opin-
ion it is very infectious. In former
years Spain had established colony
at Grand Canary for lepers. They were
housed there, but had perfect liberty
to wander about with the restriction
that they must sleep in the houses
built for them. In the course Of time
this law became dead letter and
they gradually spread over the differ
ent islands.
"At Santa Cruz de Teneriffe, the
capital, there are % lepers, Is OF
whom are men, and there are also
some children of these unfortunates
They are given place about Is miles
from the city hall, where they live
which is called Barranco Santo. There
and also living at the same place
about 200 people besides, nearly all
beggars. You meet them at all
times of the day in town or on the
road, asking aims and exposing theil
limbs. Many have no fingers or toes
and hobble along. A more pitable
sight is hard to imagine.
"Ofacially it is not recognized thai
leprosy exists on the islands. Tht
provincial government at Tenerifft
has lately built large building abou
two miles out of town. The build
ing has two separate wards, one To-
insane patients and the other for lep
ers.'
United States Consular Agent Swans
ton on Grand Canary Island, in an &C
companying report, says that lepros.
there is decidedly increasing. Their
are SO patients in the leper hospita
at Las Palmas. A few families in
fected with the disease live in thei
own homes.
