ACCUSED OF BURGLARY.
Ex-Montana Volunteer Is Facing a
Serious Charge.

Serious Charge.
Charles Kerr, bartender at Malloy's
saloon in South Butte, and W. S.
Jones, employed at the NJ. o. P.
Shelter, are prisoners in the county
Jail awaiting examination on the seri-
GUS charge of highway robbery.
The alleged robbery took place
about 10 o'clock Monday night on
South Wyoming street, and is said to
have been witnessed by ex-Constable
Shields. The victim was H. Rim
KEEL, an itinerant peddler, who is said
to have been knocked down at the
place named and relieved of a watch
and chain. The two men under ar.
rest admit the assault, but say that
it was a simple street fight and they
are very strenuous in denying that
there was any robbery.
Kerr is an ex-member of the first
Montana volunteers, enlisting with the
regiment in San Francisco. He
came to Butte with the soldiers when
the regiment was mustered out Of
service. Both of the accused men
have friends who will testify to their
previous good character.
The above item taken from the
Standard, refers to a soldier formerly
in Company B, of the Montana volun
teers, wellknown to the Kalispell boys
as Point Logas," the nickname he
had in Manila. Those who knew
him well, think that he will be able
to prove his innocence.

LAST OF THE HoMEsEEKERs

LAST OF THE HoMEsEEkERs.
R. C. Stevens, general western
passenger agent of the Great Northern
headquarters at Seattle, speaking Of
the excursions over that road. which
was the first one to cut rates said:
1.-The excursions have proven highly
satisfactory to the railroad officials
and the capacity of the roads hand
ling them has been constantly taxed
to accommodate the thousands who
joined in the rush westward. r. G.
Stevens, general western passenger
agent of the Great Northern, which
road first announced the homeseek-
er rates, in speaking of the excursion,
said this morning:
1.-THE excursions could hardly have
been more satisfactory. Our road,
as, in fact, all of the roads, have been
constantly taxed to handle the enor-
nous number of persons to look for
new homes in this and other western
states. Thousands of permanent res.
idents have been settled in the state
of Washington as result of this far
sighted policy. We anticipate that
the excursion starting from the east
today will be far and away larger than
any previous one. There is no way
of learning here how many people
come each week into the state from
the east. Last week was in Spo
kane when one of the homeseekers
train arrived. It consisted of two sec
tons of eighteen cars all loaded. But
SO many left the train there that the
two sections were consolidated and
run on through to Seattle as one sec
ton"
Asked If the low rates would be ex
tended, Mr.. Stevens replied that the,
would not. They were put in fol
the spring season and have served tn,
purpose for which they were designed
Persons desiring to come west nov
will have to pay the regular rates.

New Castle. March 20.-After three

from James river. a voyage of only a
few hundred miles, The james b..
Taylor left James river about three
months ago with cargo Of lumber for

caught IN a gale and blown from her
course. Captain Morse then lost his
bearings and sailed at random for
several days He had just found his
bearings again when another gale
struck the little craft Blowing nor out
to sea for the second time. In this
way for three months Captain Morse's s
little vessel cOmbated the elements
until yesterday she arrived at her des-

THINK BALL SHOULD NOT
NAME MEN FOR OFFICE
Special to the EvenIng journal.

Smyrna, March 20.-The manner in
which the Union Republicans can
change their opinions at a word from
the gasman, boss and ruler Of mis- fac
tion. is amusing, and often leads men
TO say the Addicksites are not allowed
to think for themselves. Past events
have proved this When Hon. John
IL. Honecker. late congressman from
Delaware. was the only representative
from this state I'm Washington, the
Union Republicans could not command
words too harsh and bitter to denounce
the administration for allowing the
Regulars TO name the men for Federal
patronage. All this has chang "a now,
after an edict sent out from AddlclS5.
In the future the Union men, says
this order must not argue that the
lonly representative from Delaware
should command the patronage. That
lis narrow view of the question and
lnone but the short-sighted should for
moment think of making such a
statement 1t is the duty" says the
Addicks proclamation to the faithful,
l"of Every Union Republican from
ihenceforth until further orders, no
matter what his individual opinion
may be, to tell everyone that Congress
Imam Bail under no circumstances, sim
ply because he alone represents Della
ware at the capitol, should name the
men for office
such a thing is preposterous," says
