The Irish Nationalist and the Land

panity for self-govenment which has
been imputed to the Irish people. Speech
was free. and the widest divergence Of
opinion found expression. Nothing, how

or more far-sighted than the ultimate
conclusion reached. 1t used 10 be taken

Donnybrook fair; that no member would
accept anything unless he could get all he
wanted, and that, in the furious conten-

tablishing a general principle would be
lost sight Of. A review Of what actually
occurred will show that Irishmen are az
qualified for Home Rule as are English

self-government.
Those who have foretold that the Land
Purchase bill would have to be abandoned
BY the Balfour Government owing to the
population Of II by the Nationalist party
have based their prediction upon the as
sumption that the Irishman Is an imprac-

thai the measure would be rejected by
tho Dublin convention, because it I'm

particulars. The bill, a. il stands, il

the tenant. II had to be, IL the voluntary

ARMlESS WONDER
USES RAZOR ALSO

At o'clock the matter was reported
at police headquarters and several police
men went out to look for the armless
wonder, but he couldn't be found until
this morning.
His arrest follows another chapter of
the story. Policemen Buckley and Lyden
and Officer Barney MeGillic heard there
was a disturbance at No. SO East Mer-
curry street and went to the scene. When
they entered the house they found Payne
with razor between the toes OF one foot
and big pistol between the toes OF the
other. The occupants OF the house were
all under the beds or in closets. The
sight of the policemen's uniforms infuri-
ated Payne and he made several passes
with the razor at Buckley and Lyden.
McGillic was dressed in citizens clothes
and had no trouble in disarming the man.
The patrol wagon was sent for and Payne
was taken to the city jail, where he was
locked up.
There he amused the other prisoners
by sitting in chair before small mir
ror and shaving himself, the razor being
between the toes OF his right foot. He
seemed to be under the influence OF liquor
and later went to asleep, when the razor
was taken from him for fear he would
try TO do further damage.
Payne will be held OH two charges
for robbing gambling house and for
firing a shot at Pete Auerbach, one of
the men in the house on East Mercury
street The police believe the man is
crazed with drink.
From what can be learned Payne came
to Butte from Spokane. lie is a vaude-
Vile performer, one OF his specialties
being the shooting of glass balls thrown
in the air with revolver held between
his toes He can shuttle off his shoes
in a twinking and draw his gun.
The man is considered a wonder and

footed) is the talk of the town.

The news spread quickly II reached the

then the telephones and the telegraph
wires were busy. And then came, soon
after, demands. from the great financial
aud commercial centcrs OF the country for
further particulars, Further reaching than

state shall be conducted on an honest
basis. II is news of vast importance 30 the
financial world that the United Copper
companys ownership OF certain advan-
tagcs which il has enjoyed heretofore is
about TO be destroyed.
When the news was spread those who
had watched the course Of events IA the
last few days understood some thing they
had not understood before. They under
stood why T. Aug lleinle had taken on
worried and an anxious and detected air;
why in the conferences with his employees
and tools he had looked so doNucast
why that mask OF indifference and calm
sell satisfaction, 50 characteristic ot the
man, had dropped. These things and
more, were made plain

FIGHT IN SENATE
ON THE JUDICIAL BILL

There was another fight in the senate
today on substitute for Senate Bill No,
70, which redistricts the judicial districts
OF the state so as to group Carbon and
Sweet Grass counties with Yellowstone,
something against which the residents of
the two hrst-named counties are oppos-
ing. Senator Meyer voiced their protest,
but was voted down. He will try to se-
cure a reconsideration of the vote by
which the senate passed the bill this
morning.
Among the bills passed by the senate
this morning was Whippes reapportion-
ment measure, providing for house OF
representatives of but SO members While
the bill carricd--7o to few believe that
il will ever get through the house.
The senate concurrcd in a stack of de.
fcicncy appropriation bills this morning
and also concurred in these house bills
No. IA. prohibiting the use of decep-
tion in securing employees, and No. 244,
requiring that shaft cages be closed in;
also House Joint Memorial No. against
prison-made goods.
The senate passed the following bills in
addition to those already enumerated:
Senate substitute Tor House Bill 2o4-
Limiting the time in which actions can be
brought.
Senate Bill No. o7-Crealing the Office
OF water commissioner.
Senate Bill No. Ior--Liens for personal
property taxes.
During the noon recess many senate
committees are meeting
After its strenuous and prolonged labors
in committee OF the whole last night the
house this morning showed signs OF weari-
ness and inactivity. 1t consumed consid-
cradle time in aimess discussion. Sitting
up o nights does not seem ito agree with
the members of the lower house.
An echo of last nights report Of the
Dwight gambling investigating committee
came this morning in the house when an
effort was made to revive the committees
bin creating sort of Lexow committee
Of grave and reverend senators from the
other end OF the capitol to travel about
the state investigating the gambling evils
and trying to put salt on the tigers tail. The
effort to revive failed larnentably.
There were further doings with House
Bills 3oS and 900, license measures
brought forward by committee of mayors
and other municipal officers in the states
cities. These bills get killed on an aver
age twice a week and then are revived.
This morning they came up on third read

ARMLESS MAN HOLDS UP FARO
DEAIER WITH PTSTOL IN Toes

One of the boldest robberies recorded in
the history OF Butte and Silver Bow coun-
ties, as we'll as one OF the most unique
methods OF holding up that could possibly
be imagined, was perpetrated shortly be-
fore , o'clock this morning when {. Payne,
an armess man. entered the gambling hall
of the California club and with a.
caiber revolver between his toes compelled
the dealer at one of the faro tables to give
up S. which the crippled man had lost
earlier in the evening.
That man without either of his upper
limbs could manipulate large revolver
with his toes sufficiently well to terrorize
every man in a large gambling hall, seems
Incredible yet such are the facts. 1t is
said that when Payne stepped into the
middle OF the room and at the same time
nourshcd the weapon at the end OF his
foot, gamblers, players, boosters and all
scattered like coyotes at the growl OF a

ARMlESS, BUT YET HE
WAS WELL ARMED

"What do you want: = was asked the
armless but armed man by one OF the
faro bank dealers when the latter had suf-
ficienty recovered his composure to talk.
II want my money" was the reply.
What money"
THAT SIS that | lost here an hour ago.
And, what's more il don't get it pretty
quick III shoot up the house"
The faro dealer opened his money
drawer, took out a S. bill and handed 1t
over to the man with the gun between his
toes. The latter stretched his gun leg
far enough to put the weapon back in his
pocket, and, with a sweeping bow, left the
hall.
1t was 10 minutes before there was a
move. Then someone gasped in astonish-
ment This seemed to be the awakening
signal, and 40 men were soon i'll the
middle of the floor.
"Why didn't you take the bloomn' gun
away from him" asked one gambler Of
another.
Take it yerself" was the grulf re-
sponse.
Then a general seliaicking went the
rounds. No one could understand how a
man without arms could awe a crowd
into absolute submission. All hated to
admit il had been done and some passed
it over lightly by declaring the wieldcr
of the gun must be "A suDernatural being
