BURNED sABTs BODY.
Physician Of Butte Arrested on Serious
Charge.


Butte, Mont, June S.-Details OF a
horrible story Of the burning Of the
body of small baby were told to the
police last night and a serious charge
will be preferred against a prominent
physician Of this city as soon as he
can be located by the police.
According to the story told by the
officers, the physician entered the
kitchen Of the Delmonico restaurant,
on Park street, one of the best-known
eating houses in the city, last evening,
carrying bundle which he wanted to
put in the fire. AS the doctor, upon
several occasions before, had put bum
dies into the fire, the cook thought
nothing of the request and granted It.
Several minutes later the cook, un-
able to get the stove lid down, removed
the iron and was Mortified to find on
the top Of the mass Of flaming Goals
the body OF a baby.

Captain FIavel viii Sell Fine
Brick Building to City for City
Hall Purposes.
EASY TERMS ARE PROPOSED
Agrees to Sell for $4,000, Half
of the Amount to Be Paid
Down and Balance Within
Reasonable Time.

Something entirely new and unex-
pected developed yesterday In the city
hall negotiations. Captain George c.
F7avel offered the city his fine brick
building at the corner of Tenth and
Bond streets for s25.0O0. and agreed to
accept half the amount in cash and
the balance at such time as the coun-
ell may see its way clear to pay it.
The council has divided on this offer,
about half Of the members fayoring
1t and the others insisting that the
new hall be erected.
DR.. Alfred Kinney yesterday called
upon Councilman Nordstrom to ex-
press his idea of the city hall propo-
sition. The doctor called the atten-
tion of the councilman to the fact that
Mr.. Flavel had once offered to put his
brick building into a sawmill company
for $4,000, and he thought perhaps
the captain might sell to the city. Mr..
Nordstrom saw Captain Flavel. and
during the course of the day received
the following proposal:
Captain Flavel agrees to sell to the
city the building, which cost origin
ally between $4,000 and $4,000. and
the property upon which it stands, for
$4,000. He is willing to accept $12,-
500 as cash payment and to wait for
the balance of the money a reasonable
length of time, exacting no interest.
There is $4,000 in the city hall fund,
but Captain Flavel asks a first pay
ment of only s12,5OO so that the coun-
ell may have s25OO to fit up the build
ing.
Favor the Purchase.
Said Councilman Nordstrom: Il be-
lieve we should accept this offer of
Captain Flavel. The council can not
put more than $4,000 into a city hall,
because it has no greater amount
available. The expenditure Of so small
sum would provide us at best tenn
porary building, which would have to
be replaced at some future time. We
could not erect brick or stone build
ing for this amount, and therefore
could not make permanent improve
ment.
"If we buy the Flavel building for
$4,000, we will know just what we
are getting. The ground and third
floods would be sufficient for the pur-
poses of the city, and we could rent
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-06-09

the second floor and receive from this
rental interest on our investment We
would have brick structure large
enough for our requirements for q
years or more, and secure building
more substantial than any we coult
build for the amount available. be-
Ilieve the offer to be the best one We
have ever had. and l will favor II:
acceptance"
Said Mr.. Burns: well, that is cer'
tainly fine proposition. 1t looks good
to me, and / believe we should accept
it before Captain Flavel undergoes q
change of opinion. II we can get the
Flavel brick for $4,000. we ought tC
jump at the offer. / shall favor pur-
chase of the property"
Mr., Belland is quoted by Mr.. Nord'
strom as favoring the proposal of Cap
tain Flavel.
Do Not Favor II.
Councilman Hansen is said to bt
opposed to accepting the proposition
He seems to feel the city should &c
ahead with the new city hall, and thai
the brick is not suitable for city hal
purposes. Mayor Surprenant is also
of this opinion, and the view is shared
by City Attorney Smith. Mayor Sur
prenant and Mr.. Smith yesterday ex-
amined the building. and Mr.. Smith
said he thought the brick hardly suit
able for the purposes of the city. Ht
admitted that the offer was an ex'
|cellent one, but opposed it merely OF
the ground stated. He added that 4
would cost $4,000 to fit it up prop
erly, which would bring the cost W
to $4,000.
Council to Consider Matter.
Mr.. Nordstrom stated yesterday thai
