money matters. Wiseman went into
Seaman's saloon in state of intoxi-
cation, and wanted to take hand in
a six-handed game of poker. The
party objected, and the drunken man
turned loose Big Betsy. He shot
Hicks and Wright in the mouth and
Dan Wright in the foot, when Sea-
man took hand and shot him in
the mouth. In the shots that were
exchanged an unknown man was

BEGIN WEIGHING
ALL MAIL NATTER

NEW YORK. Oct 3.-At one min
ute past midnight. Monday morning
railroad mail clerks throughout the
country began the weighing of mails
in obedience to a general order of the
Postmaster General. Congress is re-
sponsible for this. I'm the regular ap-
preparation bill for the postal SER
vice approved March / the clause
requiring the weighing for thirty
days was inserted. 1t was the first
time in the history of the Postoffice
department that the weighing of all
mail matter in all trains over all
roads on which mail clerks are en-
ployed was required.
In former years in order to arrive
at an average, special periods were
set aside to determine the amount of
certain classes of mail carried over
certain roads, or in certain postal
sections of the United States.
The object of the thirty days trial
is to give the department and Con-
gress reliable statistics to determine
the cost of handling and transport
ing different classes of mail matter.

Assistant District Attorney O'Gara
made the opening speech for the
prosecution, speaking from $3.50 un-
til 4:30 p. M. less a fifteenminute
recess. Following him, Attorney A.
A. Moore opened for the defense,
consuming fifty minutes of his por-
ton of four hours allotted to each
side. Moore will conclude in the
morning and will be followed by Earl
Rogers, who will close for Ford. AS
sistant District Attorney Heney in
the afternoon will close for the peo-
pie. Judge Lawlor will charge the
jury and the case will be in their
hands for trial by $50 o'clock. Cen
eral belief prevails that the jury will
fail to reach verdict, and sugges-
ton is made that the prosecutors,
being convinced of it, decided to save
Ruef for the resultant second trial.
Various stories are afloat of the
causes that kept Ruef off the stand,
none of them authenticated. 1t is
said that he refused to implicate the
indicted officials of the United Rail-
roads in the confessed briberies OF
the supervisors, maintaining that he
merely divided his 100000 fee"
with them; that the prosecution was
afraid to subject him to the fierce
and almost endless cross examination
that could have followed positive tes-
timony by him accusatory of Ford,
that the prosecution took chance
on offering testimony by the defense

WOMAN "BLACK
HAND" WRITER

BUTTE, Oct. 3.-After an examin-
alton lasting all day, Mrs. Arlington
hand letters to various public Off
Gals, was committed to Warm
Springs insane asylum by Drs. Me
earthly and Lobb. The commission
in announcing it's conclusions said
Mrs. Ferguson was in a condition
that called for treatment at a sani-
tarium rather than an asylum, but
that the institution for the insane
was all the State has to offer in such
cases.
Mrs. Ferguson is without doubt the
brightest insane woman that has
ever been examined in a Butte court.
For several hours she fenced, parted
and thrust with the county attorney
and the doctors, and whatever was
accomplished toward making a case
against her was not built up on her
admissions and ,utterances
The charge of sending the threat
ening letters was conclusively prov
en- against her despite her indignant
denials of the more damaging facts.

pared with papers found in Mrs.
Ferguson's room, and the clips fitted

tainly did the right thing by us
when they put in the ash walk

The walk just completed is as
good as any walk of its kind that
was ever built and will have to
suffice for the present and we are
thankful for THAT MUCH, for many
points or stations have poorer ap-
proaches to their depots.
There is great desire now that

to accommodate the freight hand

accident here some time as the
platform ia so SHORT. We desire
to call the officials attention to
this hazard for the travelling pub.
