MOTHER GETS
LITTLE ONES

BY a decision of Judge Poindex-
ter yesterday afternoon, the two lit
tie Beatty boys, aged 5 and Z years,
were awarded to their mother, Mrs.
Rachel Beatty. Mrs. Beatty was
overcome and sobbed for joy.
At the time of her children's
birth Mrs. Beatty was the wife OF
John Pierce. She secured a di-
vorce and was awarded the custody
of her children, March 80, 1905.
Soon afterwards the boys were kid
mapped by the father, VINO, while
the mother was visiting in Canada,
went before the courts and had the
children adopted by Mrs. Sarah
Davenport. When the mother re-
turned she found the children with
the DavenpOrts and Immediately
brought action to annul their adop-
ton. Judge PoindeXter decided in
her favor and the Davenports gave
notice of appeal. Since last Novem-
Der the children have been kept by
the juvenile matron. Yesterday she
told the court they were pining
away with lonesomeness for the
mother. Judge Poindexter was
deeply affected and forthwith or
dered them given to Mrs. Beatty.
The supreme court has not yet
passed upon the Davenport appeal.

OF ACQU|TTAL

Sheriff Winkler, of Valley, n. D.,
left at 1880 O'Clock this morning
over the Nc>thern Pacific with Ell
mer Garfield, suspected of being
"Blackie," murderer of Officer He
men Personals in fight last Au-

and holdup.

the Jail and Garfield, heavily hand
cuffed, was taken to the depot and
placed in the smoking car of the
overland Winkler, who is an in
.veterate smoker, bought box of
cigars for the prisoner and himself.
Garfield waived extraditiOn and
said the quicker he reached Valley
the sooner he would be free, as he
is confident no one will attempt to
say he is the murderer. He stoutly
protests his innocence.
The officers are particularly
anxious to locate brakeman
named Richardson who can iden-
tify the murderer. However, if they
fail to find him. several citizens of
Sanburn, the small town where the
shooting occurred, can identify the
man. Officer PersOnius was shot
through the mouth and heart and
died almost instantly.

LINEMEN WINNING
IN BUTTE

The difficulty between the cleo
trio linemen and a number of en-
ploying companies in Butte over in
creased pay has been adjusted so
far as the telephone, electric light,
street railway and power compan-
les are concerned by granting the
so cent increase, making the line
mems pay s. for eight hours.
The Amalgamated Copper Co. is
not paying the scale.
The linemen's demands took def
mite shape on Jan. 2, when strike
was declared throughout the city.
After a conference it was decided
to return to work again pending a
decision from the heads of the va
rious companies. Since the date of
the strike number of conferences
have been held between the line
mems committee and the managers
of the various companies, finally re-
sulting in granting the union de-
mands.
A concession to the employers
was that the eight hours should
comprise actual working time, in
stead of from shop to job as
formerly. The wages of the shop
men are increased to $132.50 a
month.

SAYS PRATT HAS
A H00DOO

The Highbinders claim that they
are numerous enough to prevent
the reelection yof Daggett. They
say that he received the undivided
support of the party at the last cleo
ton and that hundreds of republi-
can workingmen voted for him that
will not do so again. 1t is claimed
that no amount of salve will heal
the wounds of the men who were
deserted by the gum shoe politi-
clans of the city hall. in the county
election.
If Councilman Pratt did not hang
around the tall tower so much,
they say the rank and file of the
democratic party might be induced
to unite on him as the only demo-
crat capable of beating republi-
can machine candidate, but the
fact that he harkens to INSPIRED"
counsel hoodOoed any chance he
might have of being nominated or
elected, it is claimed. The High
binders say there is little hope for
democratic success this spring, as
the party is hopelessIy divided and
lacks a man who can defeat the
city hall machine, aided as it will
be by the slums, the w. w. P. Co.
and possibly the Graves interests.

ORGANIZED LABOR

The action Of the house in pass
ing the eight hour bill for working
women is meeting with great favor
in union labor circles, as the meas
ure was offered and fought through
by the state federation. 1t was
stubbornly fought by representa-
tives Of the laundry trust of the
state, but the justice of the bill Sc
cured the support OF the majority

WHAT NAMES MEN LIE

that is only another example of his
Indifference"
If he comes home dog tired"
and proceeds to bunch up" the
sofa pillows according to a mans
idea of comfort, you might ask
how long he supposes they would
look decent if they were used that
way" and if he suggests others
mot too good for fellow to use"
you can intimate that it Shows his
poor TASTE" and if he retaliates by
an hvious personal reference, you
can spend the rest of the evening
in tears over his abuse 1t will
not add to the evenings harmony,
but you will have gained your own
way.
When he sits down to read the
paper, retail to him all the neigh
borhood gossip, the amount of the
grocer's and butchers bills and any
other items interesting to yourself
If they are not so to him. Make
him smoke his pipe in the kitchen
or woodshed, so the "horrid smell"
will not get into the curtains. II
he dares to intimate that he would
like to have 1.-The folks" come in
some evening for game Of cards,
give him to understand" that if he
wants to engage in any such low
pursuits" it will never be in your
house.
BY this time an increase of
business" will demand his attention
unto all sorts of "unholy hours"
and his facility in making excuses"
for his "arduous duties"-poker,
vaudeville, etc.-would make a
Munchausen turn pale with envy.

troduced a duplicate of the Penny
packer libel law This law was
passed several years ago in Penn
sylvania to muzzle the indepen-

Of the legislature. Local labor men
point to this law as evidence that
they are doing as much for unor-
ganized labor as for themselves,
and that they aim to better the con-
ditions of all classes of labor.
The law, If enforced, will effect
a material reduction Of working
hours in Spokane laundries.

from swallowing his own brains
was the verdict of the coroner's
jury at the inquest held over the
body of George E. Thomas, the
Illinois Central brakeman who was
injured by falling into the ma
chinery at the pumping station
near Hama. Thomas died. The
case was the most peculiar known

at the base of the skull was broken
and the skull fractured in such a
way that the mans brains were
permitted to ooze down into his
mouth. Thomas would become un-
conscious until he swallowed, after
which he quickly regained con-
seriousness and would converse
with ease.
After repeating this process for
several hours Thomas brains all
oozed out.
