BUTTE, April 28.—A full audience was delighted last night with the initial presentation of "Said Pasha" by the California Opera company. The piece was presented in a manner far beyond expectations. The scenery, taking and costumes are elegant; the chorus of girls is captivating, and the ensemble a good deal more than is often found on a western stage. There are some good baritone novelty and the decided merit of something complete in every detail, no part being imperfect and every part making a perfect contribution to the end of the whole. It was a capital performance and the house stamped it approval with a crowded house last night. **At the Matinee.** Special to the Standard. BUTTE, April 28.—J. Donelson left for Spokane this morning, to see about the burglary charges made with certain instruments seized in his possession.

BUTTE, April 27.—The trial of the case of David Black, who was charged with and heard in supreme court on Friday of this week, was adjourned to yesterday and will move to Helena Thursday afternoon. It is understood that the result in the matter will be known within a week. --- ## Column 2 # KILLED IN THE SHAFT **Distressing Accident at the Mountain Consolidated.** **While Descending in the Cage Patrick Murphy is Killed and Several Other Workmen Injured.** By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—One of those peculiarly distressing accidents which are occasionally occurring in large mines happened this place this afternoon in the Mountain Consolidated mine in this city. Patrick Murphy, 35, lost his life, and several children, the oldest one about 10 years of age, were left orphans, their mother having died about a year ago. When the whistle blew at 1 o'clock notifying the men that the dinner hour was over, those working on the surface began to descend. About the last to go upon the cage were Patrick Murphy, William Colston and John [illegible]. Murphy was employed on the 300 foot level and at noon had, as usual, gone to the surface to get out some timber which he intended taking below in the afternoon. In addition to the timber he had a long safety rod belonging to the pumping machinery of the mining company. Combs, the station tender, told Murphy to take the pipe and them on the lower deck of the west cage together with a number of the other miners; they then got on the upper deck and also took some poles with them. They gave the signal to slack and the engineer stopped the machinery and told the surface braker-man to notify Superintendent Lacid, who had just started down the shaft. Mr. Lacid ordered the engineers to let the cage down. It descended to the 200 level. They found the cage was caught on something at the 200 level, a few feet below the station. The men were all still on the cage, but it took only a glance to show that some of them were badly injured. The cage was had to be taken off and investigation made, the searching parties found everything in order. Murphy was lying on his right arm which he said, he thought was broken. He was carried downward and was found to be alive, but he died about a half hour after being brought to the floor of the station. The other three were badly hurt and as soon as possible all were raised to the surface. It was found that Murphy's right arm was not really wounded as first supposed, for the real wound, as was also his collar bone; he was raised to the surface shortly after the wounded and discovered that in all three of his ribs were also broken. Two of Leyden's ribs had also been broken. All of them were carefully taken down below and cared for. Colston escaped. The injuries to the man are very bad; Leyden's face and neck were also slightly bruised and the skin torn. A thorough examination was held at the inquest on Murphy. Joseph Lacid, John Breen, James Oliver, Patrick Sullivan, Patrick Sullivan and W. J. Cole were examined at length. From their testimony the cause of the accident was learned to be that the long iron rod was negligently placed on the cage; when the rod came in contact with a stout rope which ran in through a partition in the shaft. The bundle was then placed on end on top of the cage on one end. This rope is supposed to have worked loose allowing one end to catch between the cage and the side of the shaft, thus wrenching the iron pipe from its position and striking the poles which then fell on the men beneath. Murphy's head were caught similarly to the first account; these pieces flew up and upwards and against the men above them striking and crowding them about the cage. The explanation is the only one we have had for it and it satisfactorily covered the ground. The combination of the accident killed Murphy instantly. His ribs and collar bone were crushed to a jelly. Mr. Lacid, Mr. Cole and others testified that where the iron tied together and the cage loaded, testified that the association was extremely casual and to all appearances unnecessary, and the station manager had a bundle of poles had even been used in such a manner. It has been stated, and justly so, that Murphy was rated as a careful and competent man, who paid strict attention to his work. All the jury inquired the jurors and coroner's jury in taking account of the verdict of containing all the facts and laying the blame of the accident upon it by direction. They found, however, a verdict of accidental death, reasonable and returned a finding of negligence placing blame on the company from all blame. The jurors, were as follows: H. N. Hoskins, H. Harely, B. Houghstead, F. B. Harper, J. H. Blakeman, J. D. Cotter. As already stated, Murphy was a native of Ireland. He was 35 years old, an experienced miner and an experienced cord carrier in the mine mine who had worked in the mine a year. The deceased was a member of the miner's union; under whose direction the funeral will take place. **They Left in a Worry.** By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—John McCormick and Thomas Malone were arrested again last night for vagrancy. The arrest was made again on an old complaint. Both men pleaded guilty in Judge Newkirk's court this morning. Both were sentenced to the limit, $50 and 90 days in the county jail. The sentence would have struck terror to the hearts of the prisoners, but no sooner had the judge laid down the terms of the sentence to the prisoners began to make tracks for the county jail, afoot. --- ## Column 3 # ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE. **Judge Bailey Assisting in the Evidence in the Barrier Murder Case.** Special Correspondence of the Standard. BUTTE, April 28.—The murder trial of one James Barrieres, charged with killing his wife, was begun in the district court this morning, and after the evidence in the Davis case had been rendered. Judge Murray Bailey has been assisted in the prosecution by Attorney Charles O'Donnell. Attorney Victor Hugo, state of the dead woman. Attorney Hudson and Barret appeared for the defendant. A regular array of witnesses was brought into the court room and sworn, there being 15 for the prosecution and 8 for the defense, there being about 20 in person outside of court, the bulk of whom the majority of the witnesses were in the trial, and doubtless the jury will occupy the whole of the week. Attorney O'Donnell made a brief opening statement of the case. Officer followed James was first put on the stand for preliminary testimony which was given of the affair as he knew it. Immediately following, Barrieres himself was put up and said that "the woman came in through the kitchen, and saw that she was shot." The witness went with Barrieres to the room down on Western street and, entering, found the woman dead and a bullet mark on the casing in the doorway. He saw no powder marks on his hand or elsewhere. Alice, sister of the dead woman, testified that the bullet mark on the bullet wound was in the left check. She had known in Chicago the morning of the tragedy and knew nothing of the circumstances of the shooting. Dr. E. C. Cooper testified concerning the autopsy which was held and stated that the bullet entered the left cheek, ranging forward and somewhat downward through the wound. It was stated the range of the ball was not farther than two or three feet. The pictures of the wound told the story, being about forty-five degrees pointing upward and to the right in the character of the wound. A powder burst was put on stand this afternoon and gave an account of the relation of the shot. Cross examination was made in relation to the character of the bullet and place where it was found, the physician saying it was lead shot, instantaneously. It would have been impossible to have been standing one or more and scarcely to more after the wound was inflicted. The report also stated the powder burn about [illegible] indicated the close range. Clearly the barrel must have been in the ear or eye. Linnis, the next witness, a colored woman stated certain facts which she did not give in the lower court. She was in the same apartments of the house next to that of the Barrieres, when she heard the shot. She stated that within thirty she then went into the house next to that the house. She had been about a half hour in the apartment and heard Barrieres and told her that her mother was shot. She searched the house and found this woman on the floor. The witness said that her heart was then shot out. "Did you find Alice here?" This new testimony, and was considered proved pivotal, as Officer James and one or two other officers in the case had stated they heard nothing and nobody saw anything until after the shot. The witness was sure the shot was in the room; the witness was sure and found no powder marks. The woman on cross examination went over her story before Judge Newkirk. She said she had not been examined before in the morning. Having been threatened numerous times and afraid. She said it was all given in the affidavit. She said Barrieres and fired the night before the shooting she opened and fired upon and found in Barrieres' rear pocket sometime after he had been fired and that was stated as related by that officer on preliminary examination. Also while the key which the officer also found in the case was also retrieved as at the same time. She wrapped it up and placed outside the door of the office and deposited outside the door of the building quite outside the house and nearly under the stoop. Remainder of witnesses whose testimony revealed nothing new were examined, and the trial was adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. --- **IT WILL BE A BIG AFFAIR.** **Preparations Being Made for Erecting a Large Foundry in Butte.** By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—H. F. Brown, who recently visited the officers of the Lexington foundry, has found it necessary to take steps to secure the ground upon which the works are located to leased to be constructed or to make a part of July. As the ground is too small to allow the large extension of the plant which is in contemplation, he decided upon a new location. He will take an acre or more ground near the Northern Pacific yards near as can be arranged, where all the plant can be formed when it is finished. The plant as it stands costs $50,000 and, will need to secure it, two acres about two acres of ground will be added to the plant. He and a foundry of the same dimensions will also be added. Both buildings will be equipped with the very latest and most improved appliances used in both those particular branches. Besides these the plant will be equipped with a roofing and boiler shop. He has already taken enough time to form a part of the plant. Work on the foundations will begin in a short time, as soon as a few preliminary formalities with the ground are completed. --- **WHIPPED A BRUTE.** **A Brute Printer Thrashed for a Dastardly Deed.** By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—B. H. Willie, a job printer who has been in this city about three years, was left in a Saturday evening. Willie is accused of having entered a woman's home, call into her room and attempted to violate her. The woman of the house gave him a severe lesson to her feline arts. Mrs. McKenna had long but not others intervened and thrashed Willie. He got about an hour in which to leave the premises. He was still walking. Anxious to leave, a man named Burke who was still at the door followed Willie shopping, made up his mind to give the vagrant a bit of his own medicine and invited Willie into his room and at once bestowed upon him the kind of thrashing that no one who has received such a beating he will never forget. Only when Willie was fined out did he allow Willie to escape. --- ## Column 4 # JOHN A. DAVIS GETS IT **That is the Order of the Court in the Contest of Heirs.** *The Administration of the Estate to be Held Over Until the Appeal to the Supreme Court is Heard.* Special Correspondence of the Standard. BUTTE, April 28.—Every seat in the district court room was occupied at 10 o'clock this morning, and standing room was as abundant. The decision in the application for letters of administration of the estate of the late Andrew J. Davis was to be given, and the extent of the general interest was shown by the large crowd in attendance. After disposing of one or two matters of minor importance, Judge McMains said, in regard to the Davis case: "We have looked the matter over, considered it and examined into the eye in regard to the estate of the late Andrew J. Davis, deceased. You will remember that the court rendered the ruling that the one selected in the order was John A. Davis, the natural heir. We need, to no greater extent than this, to render this ruling; but as decided by the order is already given in favor of John A. Davis, and that ruling it appears that John A. Davis, brother of deceased, is shown by the evidence to be incompetent. The administration cannot be given to a person who is shown to be incompetent, and particularly so in the present case, and a full case was thus made out that John A. Davis, brother of the party, did not have and that the court were of the opinion of the court and general direction of it was to raise the amount of $10,000. "The order appointing administration can be revoked by this court. The amount of the bond which would finally not be varying from the order if not made; from $5,000 to $10,000 may be raised. The management ought to be taken between other parties and not between the larger extent in specific instances. We are here to discharge any knowledge we have of the character and its administration. Therefore, it has been agreed that James between himself and $10,000. Warren Tools for $5,000 in this estate, and he has entered in which to prepare papers for an appeal in this case. Until then it appears that had it had been agreed between himself and the $10,000. The objection was that the decision of the judge might be, but there was a very doubtful choice in his order to render this finding that a very full application was made by Judge McMains to follow him and that was heard by the court, but no reduction would be made without direct order. "The difficulty is raising the bond. The banks, I am told, though having this money or the privilege of having one-half of the county of Silver Bow county, it has been paid County Treasurer A. Davis, are not willing to appear as witnesses in the case. The hearing has not been held and has been postponed at Mr. Root's request. Judge McMains therefore decreed that expenses of postponing the Barrieres trial and its hearing until completion of the Davis matter." --- **MORE OFFICERS NEEDED.** **Results of Butte Demand Increased Police Protection.** By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—Owing to the limited police force of the city, the women and children are having a carnival, specially the women known as "Dolly Girls." Dolly complaints are being made of ladies throughout every part of the city by these insolent remark, and no way seems to exist for preventing them. This evening a lady complained of having been seized by a member of the force who threatened her with all kinds of violence and made a threatening demand for something to eat. In a certain part of the city where these women hold full sway, the neighborhood tries to be kept in a state of constant policeman. During the day instances of insolence and brutality are constantly increasing. During part of the city there are resulting in that part of the city are as many women and children wholly unsafe. Women and children are in fear, of and have, therefore, the very small risk of being caught and the fact that the city is having at least increase of the police is voiced, and if possible, the force ought to be doubled. The more officers are needed to patrol the upper and lower end of town during the day as well as at night. **In the Police Court.** By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—As is usually it was the accumulation of three days, so court was held in the police court today. The clerk did not find a very large docket awaiting him. Jacob Gillie and Lily Rodgers Lynch were caught in the act of regling [illegible] liquor in the bootlegging district. They—38 and costs each. McLaugh[lin?], who had been taken on was given an order on Jim Dyer's boarding house. Hugh Burnett canvassed the subject of resisting police. The charge against him was against him pleaded guilty to having resisted, to have had to resist officer She who committed the assault and disturbed the peace and dignity of the city. It cost her $8 and trimmings. John Cahill was another unfortunate who loaded up too heavily with poor whiskey. Having reached the summit, he was sent up to board out a fine of $1 and costs. **Arrested for Stealing.** By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—Officer Donovan arrested one "Red" [illegible] on the [illegible] suspicion of having committed a burglary Friday morning. On that night some one entered the Chicago house and stole a valuable overcoat. Saturday the prisoner presented himself at a pawn shop on East Park street and attempted to pass the overcoat for $1. Owing to the very modest figure asked, the pawnbroker became suspicious and refused to make the purchase. Yesterday the officer appeared at the shop and testified as to description of the coat. The description of the coat and the pawnbroker's testimony fully established the identification, and when taken before the description and when taken before the magistrate this morning he pleaded the man who had offered to pawn the coat. The man was jailed. **Two New Banks for Butte.** By the Standard's Special Wire. BUTTE, April 28.—Two new banks start in Butte on May 1.
