RUSHING WATERS CAUSE LOSS OF
= LIFE AND PROPERTY.
COLD WAVE ARRIVES IN TIME
It Is Estimated That the Property Loss
Will Reach Five Million
Weather Quite Cold
Now.
(By Associated Press.)

\by ASSOCIATED PreSS.)
Philadelphia, Dec. 17.-Railroad service
in this state is gradually recovering its
normal condition, and by tomorrow
trains will be running practically on
time. Thousands of laborers are at
work repairing the damage to road beds
and bridges wrought by the rushing
waters.
The sweep of water was greater in
some sections than was ever known be-
fore, and bridges that withstood the
floods of years We're swept away
The sudden drop in the temperature
was providential in some respects as it
prevented the flood from spreading, but
it entailed great suffering on the 10000
or more persons rendered homeless by
the destruction of their houses.
All passengers on stalled trains were
removed from their uncomfortable situ-
alton last night and this morning by
the railroads and the trains are now be-
ing taken to their destination
The weather today is not quite so
cold as yesterday and in some sections
snow is falling.
Conservative estimates place the loss
from the floods at from $4,000, 900 to
S5,0O0,00O. So far reports have been re-
ceived here of the loss of nine lives in
various parts OF the state.

Der % early this month upon the motion
of J. J. Mediation. representing TIE plain

MIR. MacGinniss, asking what would be

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Helena, Dec. 1.-THE fourth day of the
trial Of Samuel Garvin and Robert E.
Lee. charged with running off 1000 head
of Indian cattle from the Crow reser-
vation, developed no sensational features.
J. p. Van Hoose, boss farmer at the
Pryor sub-agency, was placed on the
stand and testified that he accompanied
the posse into Garvin's basin after the
cattle.
He stated that they found about 700
head Of cattle bearing the mashed o
brand. in many cases very clearly made
over the d and O T brand, which are
the brands by which the Indian cattle
are known.
Willis Spear. a well-known Northern
Wyoming cattleman. testified that he was
well acquainted with Garvin's basin. and
that he believed that cattle would not
stray into the basin unless they were
driven there. He stated that as far as
he knew no one claimed the mashed o
brand.
He did not know A. B. Anderson or
Henry Smith, whose names We're signed
to the bill of sale in the possession Of the
defendants.
Maj. James f. Edwards. agent for the
Grow Indians, gave strong testimony
for the prosecution. He identified the

given by other witnesses.

SENATOR CLARK INTRODUCES AN
OTHER PosToFFICE BILL.
NOW WANTS HALF A MILLION
Postmaster Irwin Says the Business
Here Would Justify the Expendi-
ture Of That Amount for
Building.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)


Washington. Dec. Ex-senator w. A.
Clark has introduced another bill in the
upper house asking the appropriation for
the Butte postoffice be increased to
$500,0O0.
The efforts on the part Of the senator
to have the appropriation for the govern
ment building at Butte increased began
some time ago when bills We're introduced
in both the house and senate providing
that the amount should be raised to
100000.
Senator Clark has consulted With the
proper officials here and seems to feel
that more than $s0O,0c0 can he secured for
Butte and he will abandon all efforts at
urging his former bill
In fact, it is said that he will take the
initiative in preventing any consideration
of the first bill and ask the proper COM
mittee not to have it considered.
The senator has declared that he will
do every thing in his power to help out
his home town in getting as fine a pest
office building as possible.
Postmaster Irwin when asked about
Senator Clark's new bill said:
II have been advised by the senator of
the second bill he has introduced in the
senate. I am. of course, glad to know
that such efforts are being made to give
us fine postoffice building here.
"The requirements of the office here
and the population would fully justify
$500,000 building in Butte and hope we
will get it.
'The appropriation as 1t now stands is
$225.0O0. The bids that we got were all
too high and another advertisement will
have to be made whether the appropria-
tion is raised or not"

MURDERED IN BED
WOMAN PROMINENT IN CHURCH
CIRCLES SHOT BY BURGLAR.
MARAUDER AFTER HER MONEY
Miss Murphy Was an Expert With a
Revolver But the Thug Was
Too Quick.
(By Associated Press.)


Pittsburg, Dec. 17.-Harriet p. Muir
ply, prominent in church and social
circles, and treasurer of the Kingsley
house fund, was murdered at her home
6221 Howe street, east end, by burglar
this morning. The murderer escaped.
Miss Murphy was the only sister OF
Select Councilman John A. Murphy,
from the Twentieth ward, and was 80
years of age. She with her brother and
two women servants lived alone in the
house.
Miss Murphy was sleeping on the Sec

self in the event of just such an attack
as happened this morning, and she al
ways had pistol either under her pill
low or within easy reach.
About 3 o'clock this morning her
brother was awakened by two shots,
and fastened to his sisters room, where
he found her lying dead on the floor
with bullet wound in the head.
The burglar had scaled the porch posts
and entered the window Of Miss Muir
phys room by breaking the glass. 1t
is supposed that the noise of the crash
ing glass awakened her and as she
jumped from the bed, with her revolver
in her hand, the man fired. Marks on
the porch roof indicate that only one
man entered the room.
Miss Murphy usually kept the collec-
tions Of the Kingsley house fund in her
room until they reached sum large
enough to be placed in the bank, and
it Is thought the burglar was after the
money.
The police are inclined to think the
burglar was negro and at noon claimed
to have a good clew.

BENEFIT FOR C.. E. L1NsLEY.
Sporting Fraternity Of Butte Will Aid
an Unfortunate Man.

A sage once said-and his saying has
often been quoted-"For a kind heart
an da helping hand toward the needy let
me have that of a sporting man."
How well and wisely spoke the sage is
at this particular time best illustrated
ma case which now attracts the atten-
tion of the Butte sporting fraternity and
all others who are or could be interested
in the plight of man who suddenly lost
his sight and has to depend on the char
ity of the public for the only chance
which may restore his sight.
The principal figure in the case is
Clarence E. Linsley who, while at work
III Anaconda recently. went blind in both
eyes. He is young, well educated and re-
fined.
who is willing to work hard to advance
himself.
The loss of his eyesight is naturally
great blow to him, as it if nothing
else spoils his life's happiness and blasts
his cherished ambition.
Becaue they sympathize with Linsley
as they do with any man, woman or
child in trouble, the sports of Butte
are rendering to the blind youth tonight
a testimonial concert and ball. It will
be held at Renshaw hall tonight, and
means an all night revelry of music, fun
and dancing.
The money derived from the benefit
will be turned over to Linsley, so that
he may tomorrow morning take a train
for the East. He will go to New York,
where he will undergo an operation
which physicians say may restore his
sight.
