ALLoT $4,000
FOR NO. | ROAD
L. Cashen Tells Virginia Group
of Road Projects Planned
for This Year.

Some 20 per cent of the current
budget expenditures for roads will be
spent in the counties of st. Louis
Carlton, Koochiching and Cook, not
withstanding the fact that these
counties have only about ten per cent
of the Minnesota Highway department
mileage" Leo Cashen, district Superin-
tendent told large assemblage OF
people in Virginia last week
He stated that the expenditures
budgeted for these counties this year
was approximately 100000 and cited
projects already let or soon to be under
contract to be completed the present
season.
On the list were grading and paving
on Highway 1863, six miles northeast OF
Virginia to ten miles west of Tower
$275, 900. Work was begun on this pro-
ject several weeks ago and a detour
has been established north from Vir-
GINA to Angora and from there to a
junction with 169 at the forks where
the Cook road comes in for points east
Tower and Ely.
He also mentioned projects on High
ways So and 33, the underpaSs on SO
near Eveleth; the overhead bridge at
Orr; grading and stabilized lift on 81
near Grand Marais and the same north
from CuSson on SO.
Other projects in this section of the
state on the program are work on the
Ely Finland road, or No. l, from the
North Shore to Ely on which it is pro-
posed to spend 100000 and projects
from Grand MaraiS to Pigeon River
Also the improving of the Miller trunk
from Duluth to Pike Lake where four
lane road will replace the paving now
in at a cost of 100000.
There are 1000 miles of road in the
state system, Mr.. CaShen said in de-
Tending the highway department
against charges that it had lobbied for
an increase in the gasoline tax and ex-
planned in detail the money available
to all of the divisions of the highway
organization, all sources yielded about
$26, 900, 900 in 1886.
He stated that just to maintain the
1000 miles in the system, $4,000 was
required. ''The one cent tax on gaSo-
line was necessary to carry on a sub
stantial part of the improvements
definitely scheduled for northeastern
Minnesota" Mr.. Cashen said. He also
took a wallop at the Petroleum In
stitute for its statements before legis-
lative committees.

Governor Benson has desig-
mated everyone that failed to
agree with his scrambled tax
program as corporation law
yers," whether they ever repre-
sented a corporation in court
or not. His attack was par
ticularly aimed at the final con-
ference committee of the senate
which failed to unscramble the
mess left it by the Benson con-
trolled house.
Senator Orr, leader of the
senate majority now comes
forth with the charge that the
personnel of the committee was
selected at the request of Re-
preventative Barker, speaker of
the house, and that Mr.. Barker
knew of the attack which was
in preparation when he re-
quested the appointment of
these men and that the request
for a fourth conference COM
mittee was simply a maneuver
in bad faith by the house to
carry out a previously reached
decision to deadlock the ses-
sion.
1t is up to Speaker Barker to
explain his connection with the
attack on the committee. The
committee was designated by
senate leaders as a good will
courtesy to the speaker whose
membership he himself had
asked to be named.
This week Senator Ed. Rib
enack, of Duluth, veteran in the
law-making body, added his
voice and in a plain outspoken
manner claimed the whole
mess is the result of Governor
Benson's desire to be monarch
of all he surveys"

was the murder of J. w. Penrose on
June 9, 1891. Penrose, editor of q Butte
newspaper, was on his way home and
was shot and killed at the corner of
Montana and Galena streets. There
were several arrests but the authorities
were unable to develop a case against
any OF the suspects. It was supposed
that Penrose was killed by personal or
political enemies.
Policeman W. F.. Jordan was shot
and killed the night of June "a, 1892.
by one of several. men whom he caught
robbing a house on South Idaho street.
The men started to run when the Off
Ger came upon them, and Jordan or
dered them to halt or he would fire.
One OF them turned and shot and killed
him. Another policeman heard the
shots and ran to the scene, meeting the
running burglars m his way. They
escaped. A long time afterwards a man
named Frank Hickey, alias Kelly, was
arrested. charged with the crime, but
as the action was taken at the instance
Of another man who was considered a
crook and whose word was known to
be unreliable, Hickey was discharged.
In 1887, at the opening of q new
sporting pavilion, a mar named Dough-
erty got into a row with the proprietor
of the place and killed him and an
other man with a knife. Dougherty was
tried for the double murder n acquit-
ted. He later went to Idaho, killed a
mar there and was sent to the state
penitentiary from which he was after
wards pardoned.
In November, 1889, Joe Barriere, shot
and killed his wife when she refused
to give him money. The crime was CON-
mitted in the presence of their small
daughter. He was tried for murder and
acquitted.
One night in Butte a woman of the
half world, Rose HartZ, known as
Dutch Rose" was shot and killed.
Her paramour, Niccalo Salvanti, was
charged with the crime His defense
was that Rose shot at him, that the
bullet went through his hat, hit the
wall and ricochetted back, killing the
woman. The jury turned him loose.
In 1880 Jesse Anderson, a gambler,
was killed in a saloon fight. The man
who did it claimed that Anderson had
planned to rob Clark's bank and had
tried to force him to take part in the
crime, and that it was for that reason
he shot Anderson.
In 1890 Dave Davis and John Evans
quarreled over IS which Davis said
Evans owed him. They fought, and
Evans stabbed Davis, who died. Evans
was arrested and tried for murder. He
was acquitted by the jury or the de-
tense that the doctors who attended
Davis caused his death, and that the
defendant was not to blame.
So reads the record of only a few Of
the %unavenged and unsolved crimes
which were committed in Butte during
that mining towns toughest" days.
