Charge of Own Rifle.

"lhc search for the body Of y. +. Egan

Sheriff o. +. Gregg of Kalispell, who is
in the city today. Mr. Gregg was at
the time in company with Captain Grant,
sergeant at arms in the last legislature.
Both are old-timers in Flathead county,
and they are confident that the missing
superintendent Of the Great Northern died
by violence.
II believe" said Sheriff Gregg, that
when the body is found there will be
signs Of violence. ! think as does Captain
Grant, that Egan was shot by mistake or
through some accident got the charge of
his own rifle.
"Tbe snow still lies deep near the scene
Of his disappearance. 1t is from four to
five feet. We must wait for it 10 melt
still further and at the same time we can
not wait too long, as the bears and wolves
will soon be about. Just now plans are
being made in Kalispell and parties are
preparing for organization. The country
will be combed over thoroughly"
The sheriff came to this city with lIor-
ace Strcator, an insane man, who was cap
tured near Gateway wandering through
the woods naked The chase after Strcator
was hard one, as he ran like deer. lie

REGISTRATION WILL
CLOSE IN BUTTE
THIS NIGHT
Clerks Had Their Troubles
Today-Busy Re-
cording Voters.

Registration will close tonight with
probably 10000 names on the books. AT 3
o'clock this afternoon the books on the
East Side showed 4,675 names, and those
on the West Side 1880. At that time men
stood before the booths in long lines.
The crowd began in the morning. Il
stood at the doors again when the judges
returned from their lunch. II continued
to besiege them all through the afternoon.
AS is usual the last day there were many
who hardly knew for what they had come.
The man with n goodly percentage OF
alcohol distributed through the other COM
ponents OF his system was Of course in
evidence. So was the man who knew
more about the business than the clerks.
Close at the heels of this last was the man
who had forgotten where he lived. And
sprinkled through the lines were men who
had made mistakes and had come to rectify
them.
1t was hard lines for the clerks. The
task of driving along the freaks so that
those who had some definite idea Of what
to do might get a chance kept them busy
In spite Of large signs on the wall mott
flying the inquisitive ones that questions
of the idiotic sort were barred, there were
some in the crowds who acted on the sup
position that the booths were information
bureaus. ID.
The books will close tonight. This is
the last chance for those who wish to vote
at the coming city election TO qualify
themselves for the right of using their
franchises.

RESPECT FOR MUELLER
IS HEARD ON ALL SIDES

On all hands are heard expressions OF
admiration and respect for Mr.. Mueller
and his fellow candidates and nominees
of the three parties. Everything demon
strates that Mr.. Mueller has the conf
dence of his fellow citizens, and that
there is a strong determination in the
community to place him at the head Of
the city and insure change from the cor
ruption which Butte has been the sub
ject OF to clean, honest and able govern
ment, which is certain to come into exist
ence with the election of Mr.. Mueller and
his fellow nominees.
Every day shows clearer and clearer
that Mr.. Mueller is the right sort of ma
terial for mayor, and the enthusiasm of
his adherents is continually increasing
On every side there is a marked falling
off in the boast OF the anti-trustites which
were so loud in the land short time

LOST FAITH IN VAIN
PROMISES OF POLITICIANS

The people of Butte have lost faith
in the false prophets OF the populists and
the not-to-be-trusted organization of the
Heinze push, and they now demand some
thing far better in the way of municipal
government than such parties ever have
given them.
The popular wave that is behind Mr.
Mueller is growing larger daily, and when
election day arrives it will sweep the pres
ent city administration out of office, with
the evils that the public have cried against
in vain, and will sweep into Office the
head and all the nominees of the citi-
zens ticket, carrying along with the latter
efficient economical and moral govern
ment for the city of Butte.
