Murder in Butte is becoming such a frequent occurrence that if one does pot read of oneat least once a week it seems as thoughsometbingwere lacking In the daily roper. This paper would not suggest the formation of a Valiance committee in Butte for various reasons, one of which might be stated as its be- ing none of our business. However de- sirable it might be to orderly citiseiri of \the best city\ to have quiet reign supreme, the only lawful way to bring about sucha desirable condition Is to abide by the law and take chances. Theettopultsta Of Spokane. Wash., will get another \boost\ for the spring elec- tion through the discovery that County Clerk Downing is a defaulter, the dis- patches say, to the extent of $5,000 known at present, and how much more the good Lord only knows. as Mr. Downing has made way with the orig- inal entry book in his office, and as over 11,000 entries have to be gone over to get at the true state of affairs it will manifestly take 'a long time to get at the bottom of the_defelcatien. When accused by the commissioners of being a defaulter, he brazenly claimed that his salary was insufficient and that be had to have some spending money. Oh, you office holders, ye are the servants of the people, but you lead them a merry . dance. Spokane has been eltigularly unfortunate in this respect, and through defaulters and film-nam games by var- ious officials has lost a sum in the teat five years that will take six figures to express, and not the smaller ones either, ity the way, Mr. D. is a republican. ''hat good reason Is there why one man from each state and territory can not represent his commonwealth Just as well as three or 40, as the case may bee True, it might reduce Washington society circles somewhat: that would he sad. The rounders and heelers during congressional campaigns would find their occupations gone, or at least many of teem would; that would be unfortu- nate -for them. It would reduce the national salary list nee paid to useless ornaments and figereheads, Including their perquisites. from $2.000,000 to a2.- 000,000 per emnum, that is desirable.

Chris, how about the chickens, any- way? Montana weather, at least in Jeffer- son valley, is superb this winter. The time table on the Northern Pa- cific has . been changed. East -bound trains now leave at 1015 a. m., and the west -bound at 7:15 a. m. Engineer hicrionigle was \monkey- ing\ with his bull pup a few Melts ago and when he got through he was nurs- ing a couple of lacerated hands. Mr. Davis, the \tonsorial artist,\ has found room at last In Park's store. Whitehall needs more buildings, and next spring will see a number of good brick buildings in course of construc- tion. H. Schmidt, of the Whitehall hotel, has just received some beautiful sap- phires from Tiffany & Co.,, of New York, where he had sent them to be cut. They are from pink to a -deep blue Inn. and very pretty sparks. They are from the Helena sapphire diggings. Elsewhere will be seen an item about Mr:elPillebury having been deprived of the possession of a lot of chickens. Of course we couldn't say that it was any- thing but a coincidence, but the guests at the Whitehall hotel had chicken din- ner the next day, but \don't say that ) told you so.\ A train robber In Arizona has been convicted and sentenced to be hanged . In accordance with si law of that terri- tory His attorneys have appealed to, the supreme court and will test the eon- stitutionality of the law At first thought it might seem all right to hang a train robber; they cer- Mantle Are nuaideletnue-ulettane have cost passengers a great deal of money, and some of the railroads much more. But why make a specialty of hanging train robbers? Why not id - elude the trusted bank cashier or presi- dent who often takes the last cent from the widow and orphan, the hard-work- ing mechanic, and others almost with- out mid We doubt if many of the train robbers are really as unscrupulous and hard-hearted as some of these bank officials. and many others as well who might be mentioned If we are going to hang thieves make tie discrimination on account of age, ewe color or previous, condition or rewri- tten In life.

Myron C. Young,. who was recently brutall3e murdered in Butte City by one Barnes, was formerly an engineer on the Northern Pacific and well known to - Engineer McGonigle and Jo Swenz- meth of this place. They say that Young was a very fine man. At last ac- counts his murderer had not been cap- tured. Mr. John Paul of Pipestone Springs has been unfortunate recently in the loss of a number of pigs. The animals apparently were all right up to within a short time 'of their death, when they simply gave a few squeals, turned over anti died. Immediately after death the animals bloated up and presented a tough appearance; hog cholera is mug - sawn y Of agreed to by others, who are coneldrably mystified by the occurrence. J. it. Turnbull, driving a hack con- taining three passengers from Sheri - thin, played in hard luck . recently. When within a few miler, of this town 'inc of the axles broke down and the lutesengerti had to \hoof it\ In. Mr. Turnbull, after repair, strated out again and met with the same accident near the same place. Returning once more, repairs were &wain made and the trip to Sheridan resumed. This time the objective point was made only to break down In the same manner again. - AN AltilWL OCCASION. Mr. e. R. Stewart, s Survisor of the Wreck of the Lady Elgin, Lives Here. There are probably reskients of Mon- tana who remember the terrible disas- ter on Lake Michigan, which was the result of a collision between the sehooners Augusta and the large steamer Lady Elgin, and as a result of which hundred . \ of people lest their lives off the port of 'Waukegan tine Sep- tember night in 1860 or 1861. How the etearner left the city of Milwaukee early In the morning preceding the frightful casualty, laden with hundreds 'if happy hearts -strong men, beauti- ful women and innoeent children: how en the return trip during the early hours of the night, while the floors of the spacious cabin tif the Lady Elgin were filled with merry dancers the Augusta crashed into the steamer near amitlehlps .feouling the craft and most of its precious freight to the bottom in n brief space of time, and how the waters of the lake for weeks afterward gave up Its (haul, dashing them on the beach at various points for miles and miles about, or to be picked up as \floaters\ by passing vessels or 'steam - era; how the great city of Milwaukee was for weeks and weeks one vast com- munity of mourners and how memory the event was for a long time pro- longed by wings and dramatic represen- tations upon the theatrical boards. Mr. Stewart la one of the very few surveyors of that terrible occurrence. and it goes without Raying that he will never forget it If he lives to a Methuen - Ian age. Of the many women aboard but three were saved, and Mr. Stewart mind another man together rescued two of them. When he landed he was about as destitute' if clothes as was Monte Cristo when he landed on the toek lele in the sea after *his escape from the prison, but unlike Monte 4.4 lel 0 9fisallin \the world is mine,\ for all of his money was gone.

SAD AccIDENT. Ita Menus n Breen of the Patesenge, Train Killed. Last Saturday morning Brakeman Brown of passenger train No. 7 of this division of the Northern Pacific was killed at Bozeman by a collision be- tween the train engine and a switch engine, caused by a misplaced switch. Mr. Brown was standing in the gang- way of the passenger engine, as near as We can ascertain, and the force of the CollISIon Was 8 , , great as to force the tender and engine together; crushing lien.

The Zephyr has been reliably in- formed that some of the bachelors MAMA hati_th alLkindness endeavored to assist In bettering their condition, without giving a thought to the fact that in so doing it might be assisting some woman in making her's worse - and that suggests that for ordinary oc- casions the marriage vow, or a certain portion of It, should read \for better and worse,\instead of \for better or worse\ -the Zephyr hereby gives notice that it has been informed that the aforesaid bachelors' with malicious In- tent and desire to bring the editor to grief, have announced that they are go- ing to cause Joe Swenzrath to resume the publication of the Whitehall Times, if which he was so long and -favorably 'mown as the -managing editor. Their vindictive desires will . remain ungrati- fied as Mr. Swenzrath has been indef- Itely engaged for an unlimited period At an enormous salary to fill the honor- able position of railroad editor for the Zephyr. ,\Avaunt ye fiends!\ --• A Furaitere Store. - The Zephyr has noticed that a conald- erable amount of furniture has been eceived here since its establiedimnt, from the city of Butte: It seems that there is a sufficient amount of trade in Whitehall and surrounding camps to Justify the establishment of a furniture -tore at this point or In connection with some of the business houses. al- ready establimhed here -at least, If not Immediately, in the early spring Another Cattle Shipment.
