A LITTLE GAME OF POKER
One Man's Head Was Punched, a
Warrant Was Sworn Out, and
It Is Still Out-Lots
of Fun.
Conaty Attorney M. L. Wines and
Ed Mahoney bad an experience at
Bould er on Thursday that was away
out of the usual order and in the lan
guage at the festive souicity reporter of
the ap-to-dade country weekly the oc
casion was one that will be long re
membered by those who were mixed
up in M. Among the exciting and un
usual mooldents of the day were a quiet
Ittle poker game between Mr. IMabo
mey and County Alttorney W. L. Hay
of Jefesson county, in which the form
er dlaums that be caught his opponent
wab three aces up his sleeve, a ftati'
ecounter between the gentlemen
named, w.hk h resulted in Mahoney's
arres for eassaut and battery, and ha
beas corpus proceedings before Judge
Showers, whkcb resulted in Mahoney's
discharge. All of these events were
crowded Into one afternoon and they
kept everybody 'busy for a few hours.
'Mr. Wines went over to Boulder on
Thursday morning to see Judge 9how
era on some legal business and Mr.
Mahoney accompanied him to transaot
a little business 'with County Attorney
W. L. Hay. After Messrs. Mahoney
and Hay conoladed 'their business the
latter proposed a little game of draw
for 'the drinks, and they went at it in
the back room of a convenient beer
store. As the game progressed Mr.
Hay, so Mahoney claimed, commenced
to sort out the aces and Mr. Mahoney
saeges that he soon had three of them
concealed up his sleeve. Mr. Hay
lacked the smoothness of a profession
al gambler, however, and Mr. 'Maho
ney. who is no spring chicken himself,
watched every ace as it disappeared
under his opponent's cuff. He gave no
sign that he was onto the game, how
ever, but kept on playing as though
nothing had happened and quietly
awaited further developments.
A few minutes later the county at
torney found another ace in his hand
and he then proposed a side bet of $6.
Mr. Mahoney consented and at the
same time called for a new deck. No
other pack of cands could be found in
the saloon and 'Mr. Hay smiled serene
ly. Mahoney stacked his $6 upon the
middle of the taile and asked his Ap
ponent to do likeeo'ise, which was done.
The Butte man was dealing ani he
smuled broadly bust said nothing when
Hay discarded four cards and cabled
for one. He figured that the one ace
that he held and the three he had up
his sleeve, and the one card thait he
drew would give him five cards and
four aces. When he went atter his
three concealed aces, however, he was
so clumsy, soconding to Mahoney's tale
of the affair, that one of themn feE to
the floor and the others were plainly
exposed.
Manoney had been waking for just
what happened and he promptdy pock
eted (the $12 on (he 'table and then
seized Hay by the throat and com
menced to punch his head. In the
mea.ntisne Mr. Wines had concluded blis
businesm with Judge Showers and
started out to find his partner. He
soon sucereded in running him down
and entered the saloon just as Maho
ney commenced to use the Jeffereon
county attorney's head for a punching
bag. He immediately interfered and
succeeded in puiling Mahoney off be
Yore his Aift (had done any damage
worth mentioning, and Wines and Ma
honey started for the depot shortly
afterwarids to catch the afternoon train
for Butte.
The assault ranklled in Hay's breast
and produced the most intetnse indig
nation and he quicksly went before a
justice of the peace and had a war
rant Issued for Mahoney's arrest on
the charge of assault in the third de
gree. The warrafft was placed in the
hands of gheriff Gilliam and Mahoney
was arrested on his way to the depot.
Mahoney was 'thunderstruck by this
action and he wonderingly inquired:
"What are we going to do?'
"Fight it out." replied Wines. and
the two Butte men and the sheritf hur
ried back ,to the justice mill. 4 +t tre

had both been drawn up 'hy 1-. HIry,
satisfied Mr. Wines that t!'thi. one of
them was worth th" paper I' ..',as i'it

Peter Deiacy's denial of August Bel

an opportunity 'to make in court. He
was not to be found about his usual
haunts Saturday, and there were in
quirles for him. It is said upon good
authority that a warrant has been
sworn out for Delacy's arrest ,and the

tral part in the criminal proceedings
which are sure to follow.

An English contemporary in comn
menting on the Middle Park plate won
by St. Frusquin, says tihait one of the
most saitiefactory features Is 'that the
weigh~ts are arranged on a high scale,
enabling the fintst horsemen of the
day to ride. Thus, when T. Loates,
first jockey to tihe Palace House stable,
was <aime'I for Knight of the Thistle.
Leopold de Rothschild was able to fall
back upon F. Pratt for St. Frusquin,
to which fact was due, in no small
measure, the colt's ueecess. Pratt rode
a beautIful race, St. Frusquin being the
first of the three placed horses to show
signs of tiring, yet with such magnifi
cenrt courage did he struggle on, as
sisted by al 'the dkill of a master of
the art of jookeyahi'p. that he gradual
ly got Omludina into dtilculties, and
staying on best, won a grandly contest
ed race by a half length. Pratt is a
nephew of Fre- Archer, and was by
hire taugbtt to ride When a very little
boy. Though only 10 years old when
his mentor died, he retains many of
the famous jocekey's uasnnerisma and
charactertstlcs, and dto those early les
sons may probably be traced much of
the finish, science and excellence so
noticeable in the Middle Park plate
'race.

IT MAY BE ERECTED
Some Action Possible in Repr4 to
the School of Mines.
MORE INTEREST IS TAKEN
Mr. Paulsen Instructed to Prepare
Plans for Colorado and Miohi
gan Before Drawing Those
for the Home Isatitution.
It looks as if some action is finally to
be taken towards the erection of the
school of mines building in Butte. Hon.
Howard Paschal and a few others who
have shown great interest in the school
have been urging the state and local
boards to do something and matters
have at last shaped themselves so that
it Is possible that ground may be bro
ken for the building yet this fall or
winter. J. C. Paulsen, the state ar
chitect, was in the city yesterday on
his way from Helena to Dillon to *U
perintend the laying of the foundation
of the state normal school at the lat
ter place. He stated that contracts have
been let for all the other state institu
tions and that the school of mines
alone remained neglected. The founda
tion for th- agricultural college at
Boseman had been laid and the work
on the foundation of the deaf and
dumb asylum at Boulder has begun.
It is the intention to have both com
pleted, equipped and ready for school
by next fall, and it is only because of
a lack of push in Butte that the school
of mines is not under way.
Hon. Walter Cooper of Bozemap, who
is in the city, states that nearly' all
the agricultural bonds, at 7 per cent.,
have been sold in New York and almost
at par. The bonds are secured in the
same way that the school of mines
warrants are provided for, both benag
based on the land appropriated by the
government, of which the school of
mines has 100,000 acres. The same plan
as that adopted for the school of mines
has been applied to the deaf and dumb
asylum at Boulder and the people there
have no trouble whatever in disposing
of the warrants, even the merchants
taking them as cash. Although cash
bids must be asked in advertising for
the contract, yet Mr. Paulsen says he
knows of contractors who would bid
on the school of mines and take war
rants as cash.
Evidence that preparations for work
are in progress Is the fact that the
state board, through the attorney gen
eral, has instructed 'Mr. Paulsen to pre
pare plans and specifications for the
school of mines in Colorado and in
Michigan before drawing his plans for
the Montana school. It is presumed
that bids will be advertised for as soon
as the plans are completed and if the
contractors are willing to accept the
warrants drawing 7 per cent. interest
there will be nothing further to hinder
the work from being commenced. It is
claimed that if there had been more ld
cal interest shown in the matter work
culd have been started more than a
month ago. Thiere had been some dit
flculty about securing a perfect title to
the site donated, but all that was over
come and the site was approved and
accepted by the. state board several
months ago and there is no longer any
excuse for delay on that account. It is
claimed that even if work cannot b4
commenced until spring the building,
with an energetic contractor, could be
put up in time for a fall term of school
next year. Between 50,000 and 60,000
acres of the 100,000 set apart for the
school of mines have been selected, but
not all have yet been approved by the
government.
The local hoard of trustees. composed
of C. W. (Toodale. W. W. Dixon. W. E
Sargeant. J. H. Leyson and F. H. Wil
son, are anxious that work shall begin
and they will probably meet with Mr.
Paulsen on his return from Dillon and
decide on what shall be done.
The Literiture of Crime.

have heardl of Mary E. Wilkins or her

true stories of crimes as publlahed in
the newspapers which meet objection
