A charge of murder was filed in
Justice Buckley's court Saturday
afternoon against Lewis F. Keller,
the high school instructor, who fig
ured in last Friday nights tragedy
on the flat. Lewis Keller and Ruby
Pasco, daughter of Butte, a grad
uate of Butte's public schools and a
graduate of the Butte high school Of
1913, went for an automobile ride
on the flat Friday night about 10
O'clock
About 2 O'Clock the mex tmorning,
Keller drove her all but lifeless body
to the door of Maurice Roses road
house beneath Timber Butte mill,
and wildly besought the bartender in
charge to help carry the body within
and aid him to restore consciousness
and bring her bloody, dirt-covered
and disheveled clothing into some
semblance of order.
The two worked desperately over
the girl for good while, but con-
sciousness never returned to the
girl. She had spoken her last con-
scious word in life, when she looked
up into the swarthy face of Lewis

Fred Pissot. 16 years old, son of
Mr. and Mrs. H. F.. Pissot, S64 South
Main street, was drowned in Delmoe
lake about 1 o'clock Saturday after
noon, while out on the water with his
younger brother, Frank, and three
others, none of whom could swim.
According to the story of Frank
Pissot, four of the members of a
boy scout camping party went to the
lake, four miles from the camp, and
were playing in a roWboat a short
distance from the shore. The boys
were clinging to the sides of the boat
and Fred suddenly let go and tried
to swim. He was unsuccessful. He
and then decided to try it again. The
second time the wind blew the boat
away from him, when he sank, rising
to the surface three times. The boys
were without oars, and as none Of
them could swim, they could lend the
drowning boy no aid. The boy disap-
peared and search for him lasted all
night and all day yesterday.
Five other members of the camp
ing party, in charge of Scout Execu-
tive Whitney, returned to Butte, not
knowing of the fatal occurrence. An
attempt to reach the parents of Fred
Pissot failed, owing to disorder in
the telephone service at nearby
ranger station, and the Pissot family
did not learn of the death of Fred
until / o'clock Sunday morning. Mr..
Pissot left Immediately for Delmoe
