Ben Goman, a Mexican, who had been employed as a railroad laborer by the Oregon Short Line, went to trial yesterday in Judge Dwyer's department of court on a charge of murder. It is charged that he and Felix Gomes, also a Mexican, but no relatives of the man on trial, and Vincenciano Rodrigues, another Mexican, on the night of March 11-12 last at Divide, killed John Domingo, another Mexican laborer, by hitting him in the head with an axe. The accused were asked for separate trials and Ben Gomes came first, as he is alleged to have been the chief instigator of the affair. In the selection of the jury the defense exhausted seven of the five challenges allowed it. The defense took advantage of all 16 of its. Four of the men called to the box were excused for cause. The state professed to capital punishment and one challenge was used to get a Mexican off the panel, as two of the accused are Mexican. As finally selected the jury consists of F. A. McIntyre, Charles H. Riley, Dan O'Brien, Constance Tracy, Burt B. Hoskins, E. Schultz, H. M. Hosking, Martin Meyer, John A. Watkins, Jimmie Cook, Thomas Roll and George Evans. County Attorney James and his chief deputy, N. A. Rotering are representing the state and Attorney C. L. Stephens and C. P. O'Ryan appear for the defense. All afternoon and the men who were required to go the jury, and the case of the prosecution was not outlined to the 12 men until the afternoon session. Chief Deputy Rotering then made the opening statement to the jury. In his statement Mr. Rotering said that the expected evidence shows that three Mexicans, who were employed as woodmen, went to Divide, some five or six miles away, to cash their checks. John Domingo, another Mexican, he said, who had started to go into the army but was rejected for physical disability, a countryman of the three at Divide, was in the saloon with the three other Mexicans. One of the men, he said, was drunk, and they left at different times. It was after this action then Wheeler heard a man holler said that he did not go out immediately but when he did went toward the bunk house he found Domingo lying on the ground with his head smashed in. The prosecutor stated that it would be shown that the three Mexicans came into the bunk house during the night before the other man came in, and that there was some contention between the men. In the morning Domingo was found wounded on the ground, and the three Mexicans gone back to Woddin. Domingo died in a few minutes at an auto camp. It would also be shown, said Mr. Rotering that when the man was arrested, Rodrigues said to Ben Gomes, "I said I killed him, but you told me to do it." Joseph Maxwell, county surveyor, was called as a witness. He was asked to explain a map he had made of the scene of the crime. Keyes, saloon man at Divide, testified that the four men, including the three accused, were drinking in his saloon and got into a quarrel, Domingo leaving the saloon on his plans about 11 o'clock. Thomas Wheeler, living by the railroad gang at Divide, testified that around 11 o'clock in the night some one came and said the three Mexicans had the bunk house torn up and one of them advised him to go to the hotel until morning. In the morning he heard cries of distress. In the morning he found Divide, Domingo, at the bunk house, his head smashed in and a bloody axe was found at the scene of the crime. W. B. Paul, who lives in the bunkhouse, testified that he was disturbed early in the morning by three men who came in the bunk house, made so much noise he was unable to sleep again and was awakened by cries and groans of a man suffering with Domingo. Two of them were unconscious. They recognized Ben Gomes and the other Rodriguez. He said Domingo had his head badly mashed, and that he was not dead, but was unconscious. The case went over for continuation when court adjourned for the day. --- ## AUSTIN'S NEPHEW AMONG THOSE KILLED IN BATTLE Information from England yesterday reached Robert Austin, manager of the Butte Chamber of Commerce and secretary of the state board of architects, that his nephew had been killed in France. Ira Austin had served gallantly with the army in England during three years of warfare. He later went to France and met his fate with that army when it entered the final stages of the campaign. --- ## DRAFT BOARD STARTS FILING ITS RECORDS The working force of the local draft board at the courthouse is busily engaged in assembling the draft records as the board's organization will be out of existence. All the draft cards and blanks are being assembled and stored in steel filing cases. These will be accounted for by all those men within the draft ages from 18 to 45 years. Each local board must have all their records complete not later than Dec. 11, otherwise they will be counted in as late and taken the same as though the war was still being forced. WHILE THE ALLIES. Washington, Dec. 9.—Copies were sent to Berlin and Vienna by the state department today, notifying the German and Austrian governments regarding the American citizens who had previously given notice to protect from them which should properly be the American allies. ## Column 3 # MINES TRAINING CORPS NOW THING OF THE PAST ## Young Men at the School Celebrate Their Quitting the Service. An enjoyable and hilarious turkey dinner at Oregon Springs last evening marked the winding up of disbanding of the Student Army Training corps of the school of mines, when the members of the corps, with their commanding officers, met over the festive board to say their adieux to the army and to wish to be rid of the grind, which will start with their return to the regular academic studies. On account of the influenza ban against public gatherings, the affair was kept to a small size. All members of the corps had received both pneumonia anti-toxin and twice for the influenza, and for that they were thus protected against all dangers from each other. At an early hour last evening the members began leaving for the dining room, where a splendid dinner had been contributed for the occasion by friends of the school. J. L. Bruce of the Butte & Superior company and other prominent gentlemen gave their cars for this purpose. The members of the corps had all received honorable discharge yesterday, and general commendations for good behavior. Recently they had been complimented along with new uniforms of army wool, with socks, shoes and other necessary adjuncts. They were also given permission to be permitted to wear for four months after their discharge. The student body declared a general holiday for today, along with other university around the state, and urged to be back to their studies on Thursday. The dinner was rather the closing nights of the corps were marked with considerable activity and school "fun." Last night the officers' quarters were filled with enthusiasm, there was more than one hole in the wall, and many of the cushioning was indented into various experiences connected with the water faucets and otherwise. The regular initiation of the freshmen into the college fraternity had been delayed through the war and this event will take place at a later date when the formal ceremonies can be had. The regular soldiers stationed at the school and who went with the shortly did not altogether escape, as evidenced by a clip of empty vessels that were found on the porch, so they could get a lingering regret only but the enjoyment was one that they got out yesterday morning. The students were subject to the guidance of the regular guide in going and coming and there were celebrations in the emptiness of the containers. Officers Norling and Allied presided at the ceremonies last night. --- ### FIND DEATH ACCIDENTAL. At an inquest held yesterday by Coroner Lane, it was determined that Henry Austin died from an accidental cause. He had been hurt in mine Nov. 26, when the man was injured in falling of rocks at the 2,400-foot level. No one was held to account for the accident. Austin was taken to a local hospital where he died last Friday. --- ## PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY. A petition in bankruptcy was filed yesterday in federal court at Deer Lodge county, with W. F.

Hansen is in receipt of a letter from Louis S. Cuba, now in California, who stated that he recently had a talk with E. H. Weirick of Butte, who is particularly the same as Lieutenant Weirick, who was an aviator on the front and who has been listed among the missing since Oct. 31. Mr. Hansen has received word stating that Lieutenant Weirick apparently had fallen within the German lines on the date mentioned, and that subsequently his equipment, which he employed to accumulate some of his personal belongings, had been forwarded to the aviation headquarters. Mr. Hansen is unable to resist the opinion that Mr. Weirick had little hope of the he having been made prisoner by the Germans, and expresses that with the information gathered. This information was evidently not conclusive, and there is still a possibility that some further word will be received which will contradict the impressions gathered from the Cuba letter. --- **ONLY ONE SURVIVES IN PARTY OF SIX** News was received in Butte yesterday by Butte Brewing & Montana Centennial Brewing company in a message to the superintendent of the drowning of his nephew Jack Sullivan and four companions on Dec. 7. when the boat capsized on returning from a fishing trip.
