AN ATTEMPTED HoLDUP.
Effort Made at Butte Lodging House
Is Failure.

Butte, April 1..-Paddy O'Donnell
and Mike Melville tonight about 10
o'clock tried to hold up Jacob
Schwable, night clerk at the Cash
lodging house and Melville is now in
the city Jail, having been arrested
shortly afterwards.
According to Schwable, he and his
father, O. Schwable. were sitting be-
hind the counter when the door open
ed suddenly and two men entered,
one OF them, O'Donnell, having re-
yolver. They first went up to the
screen of wire which covers the front
of the Office desk and demanded the
money in the cash darwer. Meeting
with refusal they entered the Office
itself and made grab to open the
drawer
About this time the men were rec
ognized in spite of handkerchiefs they
wore over their faces. Schwable, Sr.,
reached down for club which is kept
handy in the Office, and the men, be-
llieving he was after gun, started out
on the run, although not before
Schwable, Sr., had dealt Melville one
or two hard blows on the back
Melville now says the affair was a
joke. O'Donnel is well known in po-
lice circles and is missing.

SHAMROCK III WILL SOON BE AS
GOOD AS EVER.
CONFIDENCE IS uNSAAKEN
Sir Thomas Lipton and Designer Fife
Still Believe They Have
Winner.

Weymouth, April 19.-The two
Shamrocks left here at noon today
for Southampton. The challenger
was towed by the Erin.
Sir Thomas Upton was interviewed
this morning before the departure OF
the yacht Describing the accident OF
last week, he said that when the chal-
lenger lost her mast, there were GER
tainly six feet of water over her lee
deck. my first impression when the
mast went was that the boat was
sinking. Later, when l was able to
scramble upon deck, l found every
thing gone and the boatmen out do
ing rescue work. l never saw Seaman
Collier in the water.''
Sir Thomas was bewildered at the
suddenness of the accident and said
that the scene that Immediately fol-
lowed seemed to him like the confus-
ed remembrance of dream.
Questioned as to his future course,
he said he meant to work day and
night to get the yacht fitted in time
for further trials before sailing for
New York. His desire was to avoid a
postponement OF the races.
Mr.. Word, Designer Fife and Capt.
Wringe have had a conference and
have promised to fit out the chal.
lenger in racing trim in three weeks.
1t will be big job. Designer Fife has
condemned the boom, mast and top
sail spars of the yacht and they will
all be removed as will the sails.
The decision against the postpone
ment of the races was reached last
night after a long consultation, and
this morning Sir Thomas sent the fol
lowing cablegram to G. A. Cormack
secretary of the New York Yacht club
81 am pleased to inform you that the
damage to the Shamrock III will be
righted in three or four weeks. There
will be no need for considering the
question of postponement. Please
communicate this to your committee
! and also accept my warmest thanks

men climbed like monkeys toward the
surface.
At one OF the lower levels the three
were met by a rescue party, which
had been organized on the surface.
1t was stated by miners that it was
one of the bravest deeds ever perform
ed in the history OF the many in the
list OF mining rescues.
The boiler house and engine house
were destroyed and the gallows frame
and hoisting machinery damaged. It
is believed the loss will be about $3,-
600 mostly covered by insurance.

Canal Commission Arrives.

Panama, Colombia, April 19.-Rear-
Admiral Walker and the other men,
bers OF the United States Penama
canal commission, arrived here yes

shot Tom Sears, a gambler, the result
OF dispute over game of cards.
No one saw the fight and Mckinney
was acquitted on trial.
Last July in Porterville he killed
Billy Lynn and wounded Constable
John Willis and another man in a
drunken row. He made sensational
escape from capture and for several
months wandered practically unmo-
Tested around the country.
A few weeks ago Sheriff Collins
located the outlaw at Hermosillo,
Mex, and an application for his ex-
tradition was made, but the Mexican
authorities released him before the
arrival of the papers and he disap-
peared again for parts unknown. Moth
ing more was heard of him until April
s. when news came from Kingman,
Ariz., that Mckinney had murdered
Charles Blakey, known as the Cow
boy Pianist" and Roy Winchester, a
definite is known of the cause of the
murder, but it is thought Mckinney
took the men for officers and laid in
wait for them on the trail.
After the shooting the murderer
went to ranch and compelled the
rancher to shoe two horses for him
and then rode away
Posses started in pursuit OF Nc
Kinney, but he eluded them and sue
ceded in reaching Bakersfield, where
two brothers live.
Another accomplice of Mckinney
was known to be in the house where
the battle took place, but he would
not surrender like Hulse. At 4:50 the
building was set on fire and in Is
minutes the man was smoked out and
captured.
A large mob at the jail still wants
the prisoners.

for their expression OF sympathy and

for their expression of sympathy and
regret"
Sir Thomas SAID he saw nothing in
the recent accident to lessen the great
confidence he felt in Shamrock III.
III racing yachts are to be built"
he said, there must be some risk. II
we built vessels as safe as liner we
might as weel keep her at home, tor
any chance we would have OF winning
the cup"
Designer Fife expressed the same
view. He has never appeared SO con-
fident as he is now. Mr. Word said
he was surprised and disappointed at
the accident. The screws were the
same as those used on Shamrock IL.
He explained that every precauti0n
has been taken; over two hundred
tests had been made OF the fittings,
and he had had the utmost confidence
III every detail OF this part of the
equipment.
The body OF Collier has not been
recovered. Sir Thomas Upton has
offered a reward for it's recovery and
made provision for Golfers widow
and children.
The wrecked spars of the challenger
were lifted to the quay today.
Many sightseers were present to
view the wreckage. The sheet ct the
mast is of extraordinary thinness, be-
ing 3-16 inch nickel steel. The length
OF the mast is 1855 feet and it's great
est diameter ~ inches. That the
metal was very tough is evidenced by
the fact that it had bent and rebent
in various places without breaking.
1t is believed the next trial races
will take place on the Clyde in q
months time.

HER 1OUGH "RiZ" ALL RIGHT.
The Embarrassing Experience of
kind-Hearted Woman.


A medicine bottle, mirror and {
bunch of keys, all sticking to a chunk
OF dough as large as your head was
the sight that met a SkowhegaD
woman's view when she opened her
satchel in the Skowhegan car en-
sou.e to Lewiston,
She had wondered for some time
vhat 1t was that was swelling out
the sides of her satchel in such ar
unproportionate manner, and she
opened the satchel to find out. She
struggled to close it, but she could
not. Tho man in the rear seat looked
over her back to see what the matter
was. The conductor stopped to look
at her in her helpless state.
whats the matter, madam" he
inquired
sOh, nothing Bread is rising, can't
you see? Oh get away!"
She got her fingers in the dough
and then she got mad She tried to
puI them She tried to close the
satchel, but 1t would not close.
"Confound that thing" she said,
and the satchel, comb mirror and
dough disappeared out through
window
When sho tells her friends about
the case now she laughs at the horrid
felloW-passenger and ecrductor, but
she did not feel like it then.
She was coming to visit FRIEND IN
Lewiston. This friend admired her
bread very much and Mid it was the
best in the world, so. not having any
tread ready to bring with her, sh<
seized upon large piece Of dough
which was ris'ug in a par before the
fire and wrapping it in napkin she
placed it in her grip with the above
result. Lewiston evening sovr vrna',

Some of the papers about the bay

week. giving full account OF the
new dynamite plant. And they as
sert that "they knew all about IL

and are the notable exception to the
list, inasmuch as they come right
out and say that it was big

the first importance was properly
handled. Many thanks to the Press
for it's admission and the spirit
which prompts proper acknowledg
ment. None of the newspapers
printed any more information con-
Ger ming the new plant months ago"
than did The TINES, and there was
not q paper on the bay that could
stand up and say positively that the
nlant was to be either dynamite
plant, gin mill, steel plant or stock
farm. Positive information could
