A woRKINGMANss PROTEST..

To the Editor.
When / read of big meeting of union
labor men, Justify cheering for Sam
Parks, the convicted extortioner, voting
confidence in him, also to continue his
salary OF S4s week while in prison, and
make a hero of him on Labor Day, de-
sire to enter my protest as one disgusted
workingman. / sympathize, too, with all
reasonable demands of organized Tor I'M
organized) labor, having worked hard
for nearly forty years myself.
But isn't there limit? Are union la
Dor unions going crazy that they Should
line up this way for convicted fraud
man who used his office to betray labor
and sell it out, Judas fashion, for a
price?
Does not organized labor see that in
thus clarifying law-brcaker and shout
ing the praises of an inmate of Sing Sing
sent there by jury of his fellow citi-
zens for crime clearly proven against
him. it is playing into the hands of its
enemies2 Is it trying to prove what is
charged against it by its worst foes
that it is Iawless in spirit and anarchis-
It's in its aims? It certainly looks
like it.

USES A BEER GLASS
To CUT THROAT
OF OPPONENT

John Erickson, a miner about 80 years
Of age. was severely cut in the throat by
Matt Hanley. grayhaired old man about
so years OF age, in a drunken quarrel at
the saloon of i. Leinbaeh at 545 East Park
street, about a:3o o'clock today, the
weapon used by Haney being a broken
beer glass. The wound inflicted upon
Erickson was just below the edge of the
cheek and the sharp edge of the broken
glass went dangerously near the juguar
vein, but fortunately did not touch il.
Though the wound is serious one, it is
believed that Erickson will live.
Just how the trouble that led to the at
tack by Hanley started apparently no one
knows. The two men were drinking to-
gether at the time and both were under
the influence OF liquor. The first intima-
tion that Leinbach the proprietor of the
place, had of trouble was when he saw
Hanley strike at Erickson with the beer
glass. The glass struck Erickson on the
head and was broken by the force OF the
blow.

Some small arteries and veins were
severed in Erickson's throat and he bled
profusey. He was taken to Trevorrow's
drug store at 44s East Park street. There
a telephone summons was sent to the po-
lice station for the patrol wagon. The
wagon came and Erickson was taken to the
witness room at the county Jail, where he
was attended by DR.. Corner He was very
weak both from loss OF blood and by rea-
son of his intoxicated condition. 1t is be-
lieved that he will recover

Erickson lives at the rooming house over
the saloon where the cutting occurred.
Hanley lives near by, OH Atlantic street
between Park and Galena. 1t was re-
ported at first that he had attempted to es-
cape arrest by getting away from the
scene, but later he was seen in the saloon
where he had attacked Erickson. much too
far gone in intoxication to make any ef-
fort at escape. Up to 2 o'clock he had not
been arrested.

that the ruses and tricks resortcd to by the
defendants had resulted in looting the
Michael Dewitt of thousands of dollars
worth OF ore. Nothing but shell OF the
original mine owned by the Butte x Bos-
ton company has been left. The attorney
said the NJ O. p. claimed extra lateral
rights under the Michael Dewitt and had
now transferred its openings to another
company--the Johnstown.
Judge Beatty interrupted the attorney
at this point TO make this significant state

they were never served with the order. In

An Old Acquaintance in New Form
BECK MAN JURY IS
DISCHARGED BY
THE COURT

The jury in the Bcckman murder case
was discharged at 3 80 this afternoon by
Judge McClcrnan and the case will have
to be heard over again.
This action was taken after the court
had become convinced that there was no
possibility OF the jury agreeing upon
verdict.
The case consumed six days in trial and
the jury has spent three days and two
nights in deliberations.
Wanted to Visit Dakota Block.
At 1870 O'Clock today the jury called
for the Judge and requested that they be
taken in body to the Dakota block there
TO view the scene OF the tragedy wherein
Helen Kelly lost her life at the hands Of
Albert J. Bcckman. This is the first time
the jury has requested anything from the
court since beginning deliberations
Immediately after the request Beckman's
attorneys and the county attorneys oiflcc
were notified to appear at the court room
and hear what the jury had to say. Judge
iMcClcrnan hurried to the court room soon
after the call, and the jury in charge Of
Deputy Frank Woods was brought into
court.
Judge McClcrnan then informed them
that owing to the fact that many changes
had taken place at the Dakota block since
the tragedy, he could see no reason for
granting the request Of the jury, and or
dered them to return to the jury room and
get down to business.
Becknan in Court.
Beckman was brought into court when
the Judge was called for and exhibited an
air Of confidence not before manifested.
He appeared to be expecting an acquittal,
for his eyes were bright and he wore a
flush indicative of excitement, coupled
with pleasure. When he asccrtaincd that
no verdict had been reached he seemed to
relax into his accustomed mood and showed
his disappointment keenly.
When he was brought into the court
room yesterday OH false alarm he in
formed the prisoners at the Jail that he
had been convicted of murder in the first
degree and was the hero of the hour until
the facts became known.

SAB|N FARR|S TRIED

Sabin Farris is being tried for perjury
in taking out naturalization papers, and
John Paul of the Assyrian colony on East
Mercury street is the prosecuting witness
today before United States Commissioner
William Naughten.
Farris, according to the complaint, took
out naturalization papers in Dillon, claim
ing that he was under the age OF I8 when
he set foot on Uncle Sans domain Later
he went before the court and had the pa
pers cancelled on the grounds that he was
mistaken when he swore that he was under
I8. John Paul claimed that Sabin swore
falsely both times.
Some I8 members of the colony, num-
bcring six women, were in court this morn
ing and after questioning them for few
hours both the prosecution and the de-
fense threw up their hands in helplessness,
for nothing ineligible was CLEANED from
any of them.
Attorney +. s. Booth is defending Sabn,
while Attorney Bailey represents the Uni
ted States.
All the witnesses for the state swore
they did not know how old Sabin was,
neither could they tell when he left AS
syria, and when they were asked as to his
coming to Butte said he arrived seven
years ago, and was I8 or 10 when they
knew him in the old country.
United States Commissioner Naughteh
decided there were no grounds upon which
to hold the defendant and he was dis
CHARGED

HERE WITH TWO BAD MEN
Sheriff Slater Taking Would-Be Safe
Robbers to the Pen.

Sheriff l.. p. Slater of Fergus county ar
rived in Butte this afternoon with
Dwight Kenney and ]. l.. Chaffin, young
fellows whom he is taking to the peni-

brothers.
On the 10th of last month they went
into saloon in Lewistown, masked and
armed, and made an effort to rob the

the till, which they could have taken
easily. They were aftet bigger game
however, and wanted to get at the safe.
They caught several persons connected
with the place and ordered them to open

and they had to leave without anything.
They were caught an hour later.
When arraigned a few days ago they
pleaded guilty. Judge Cheadle gave them
Is months each in the penitentiary Sher-
