Ben Gomez, 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 Gomez, also a Mexica[n], but no relative of the man on trial, and Vincenciano Rodriguez, another Mexican, on the night of March 17-18 last at Divide, killed John Domengo, another railroad laborer, by hitting him in the head with an axe. The accused men asked for separate trials and Ben Gomez came first, as he is alleged to have been the chief instigator of the affair. In the selection of the jury the state exercised only two of the five challenges allowed it. The defense took advantage of all 10 of its. Four of the men called to the box were excused for cause. Three were opposed to capital punishment and one thought he could not give a Mexican full justice because he had worked in Mexico. As finally selected the jury consists of F. A. McIntyre, Charles H. Riley, Dan O'Brien, Melbourne Tracy, Simon Behan, Charles Actis, J. A. Hosking, Martin Meyer, John A. Marta, Charles E. Pearce, William B. Roll and George Evans. County Attorney Jackson and his chief deputy, N. A. Rotering are representing the state and Attorneys L. E. Haven and J. B. O'Flynn appear for the defense. All morning and some time after were required to get 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 t[he] jury. ### State's Case Outlined. In his statement Mr. Rotering said the state expected to prove that the three Mexicans, who were employed at Woodin, went to Divide, some five or six miles away, to cash their checks. John Domengo, another railroad laborer, who had started to go into the army but was rejected for physical reasons, and who was stopping at Divide, was in the saloon with the three Mexicans. None of the men, he said, was drunk, and they left at different times. It was after that Section Boss Wheeler heard a man holler outside his place. He did not go out at the time, but next morning when he went toward the bunk house he found Domengo lying on the ground with his head smashed in. The deputy prosecutor stated that it would be shown that the three Mexicans came into the bunk house during the night and that Domengo also came in, and that there was some contention between the men. In the morning Domengo was found wounded on the ground, and the three Mexicans gone back to Woodin. Domengo died on the way to Butte in an automobile. It would also be shown, said Mr. Rotering, that when the men w[ere] arrested, Rodriguez said to Ben Gomez, "Yes, I killed him, but you told me to do it." Joseph Manwaring, county surveyor, was the first witness. He was called to explain a map he had made of the scene of the tragedy. Frank Keyes, saloon man at Divide, testified that the men, the victim and the three accused, were drinking in his place. They got into an argument. The last one of them left his place about 10 o'clock. Thomas Wheeler, boss of the railroad gang at Divide, testified that Domengo came to his house about midnight and said the three Mexicans would not let him into the bunkhouse where he was living. Witness advised him to go to the hotel for the night. In a few minutes he heard cries of distress. In the morning he found Domengo outside the bunkhouse with his head smashed in and a bloody axe near by. The axe was brought into court. W. S. Paul, who lives in the bunkhouse, testified that he was awakened early in the morning by three men who were in the place eating his cheese and crackers. He went to sleep again and was awakened again by hearing the Mexicans quarreling with Domengo. Two of them were holding Domengo. One was Ben Gomez and the other Rodriguez. He saw Domengo in the morning outside the place. He was not dead, but was unconscious. Witness was under cross-examination when court adjourned for the day. # AUSTIN'S NEPHEW AMONG THOSE KILLED IN BATTLE Information from England yesterday advised Charles Austin, secretary of the Butte Chamber of Commerce and Rotary club of the death of his nephew, Ivo Austin, who was killed in battle in France. Ivo Austin had served previously with General Allenby during three years of warfare at Saloniki and in Jerusalem. He was with that army when it entered Jerusalem and later transferred to France. # DRAFT BOARD STARTS FILING ITS RECORDS The working force of the local draft board at the courthouse is rapidly being completed and by the first of the new year the organization will be out of existence. All the records of the board are now being assembled and stored in steel filing devices. While the war has ended, all those men within the draft ages of from 18 to 36 are required to submit their questionnaires to the board not later than Dec. 21, otherwise they will be subject to the same consequences as though the war was still in full force. ### WRITE THE ALLIES. Washington, Dec. 9.—Notes were sent to Berlin and Vienna by the state department today advising the German and Austrian governments that the United States desires to receive no further communications from them which should properly be addressed to all the allied nations. ## Column 4 # MINES TRAINING CORPS NOW THING OF THE PAST ## Young Men at the School Celebrate Their Quitting the Service. An enjoyable and hilarious turkey banquet at Gregson Springs last evening marked the winding up and disbanding of the students' 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 adieus and return to the quieter ways 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 a stag gathering, as all the participants had been inoculated with pneumonia anti-toxin and twice for the influenza, and felt that they were thus protected against all dangers from each other. At an early hour last evening the members began leaving for Gregson in automobiles, many of which had been contributed for the occasion by friends of the school. J. L. Bruce of the Butte & Superior company and other prominent mining men gave their cars for this purpose. All members of the army corps received honorable discharge yesterday, and general commendations for good behavior. Recently they had been completely outfitted with new uniforms of army wool, with socks, shoes and other necessary adjuncts to their army outfit, which they will be permitted to wear for four months after their discharge. The student body declared a general holiday for today, although it is not regularly announced as such, but expect to be back to their studies Wednesday. The closing days, or rather the closing nights, of the corps were marked with more or less hilarity and school "jinx." Last night the officers' quarters were filled with incense from "joss sticks" through a hole in the wall, and many of the freshmen were initiated into various experiences connected with the water faucets and otherwise. The regular initiation of the freshmen into the college fraternal society, of which little is known and less said, will take place at a later date when the seniors conduct their ceremonies. The regular soldiers stationed at the school and who expect to leave shortly did not altogether escape, as evidenced by a ring of empty liquid containers, carefully deposited where they could get a lingering regret only by viewing their emptiness when they got out yesterday morning. The students were subject to the espionage of the regular guards in going and coming and had been closely inspected for the reasons involved in the emptiness of the containers. Officers Stirling and Allred presided at the ceremonies last night. ### FIND DEATH A[C]CIDENTAL. At an inquest held yesterday by Coroner Lane, it was determined that Harry Augustis died from an accident which occurred in the Bell mine Nov. 30, when the man was struck by a fall of earth on the 2,400-foot level. No one was held to blame for the acc[i]dent. Augustis was taken to a local hospital where he died last Friday. ### PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY. In the United States district court yesterday petition in bankruptcy was filed by Frank Monroe, a farmer of Deer Lodge county, with W. E. Keeley as attorney for petitioner. The liabilities are given at $1,975.97 and the nominal assets at $1,305, all of which is claimed to be exempt. [advertisement, boxed] SEWELL'S 221 E. PARK ST.

Aunt Jemima Mills Company, St. Joseph, Missouri. # AUNT JEMIMA PANCAKE FLOUR [illustration: a stack of pancakes on a plate] Copyright 1918 by Aunt Jemima Mills Company # FEAR FOR THE WORST FOR LIEUTENANT WEIRICK W. M. Hansen is in receipt of a letter from Louis S. Cohn, now in California, who stated that he had recently had a talk with E. B. Weirick and learned some of the particulars concerning the probable loss of Lieutenant Weirick, who was an aviator at the front and has been reported among the missing since Oct. 31. Mr. Weirick has received word from the army officials that his son's plane had fallen within the German lines on the date mentioned, and that subsequently his equipment, which he understood to include some of his personal belongings, had been forwarded to the aviation headquarters. Mr. Cohn gathered from the conversation that Mr. Weirick had little hope of the boy having been taken prisoner by the Germans, and expressed the fear that he had bee[n] killed. This information was evidently not conclusive, and there is still a possibility that some further word will be received which may change the impressions gathered from the Cohn letter. # ONLY ONE SURVIVES IN PARTY OF SIX News was received in Butte yesterday by James M. McCarthy of the Centennial Brewing company in a letter from Cork, Ireland, of the drowning of his nephew, Jack Sullivan, and four other persons in the Kilcathering [sic] district, while returning from a fishing trip. Six people in the party were in a fishing boat which was lost in the breakers and all were drowned but one. Among the others lost were two cousins of James Murphy of the Hennessy store, Robert Dwyer, who leaves an aunt living on Anaconda road, and Richard Dwyer, who leaves an uncle living on North Wyoming street, and Mike, another uncle, also of Butte. Another of the victims, named McCarthy, has brothers also living in Butte. The accident occurred on Nov. 11. Jack Sullivan, the nephew of Mr. McCarthy, was a noted athlete, and in past years had held the all-around championship of West Cork. ### MRS. VIRGINIA GENETTE. Mrs. Virginia Genette, wife of Fred Genette, died yesterday at a local hospital. She had been a resident of Butte 18 years. She was the mother of 13 children, 11 of whom survive her, six of them sons. The husband and two sons are in Butte, one son in France, one at Camp Kearney and the two others live at Tonopah, Nev., and Choteau, Mont. The surviving daughters are all married and live in Butte except one, Mrs. Alexander Guay, of Clyde, Kan. Mrs. Genette was 58 years old at the time of her death. She had a wide circle of friends in the city. ### COTTON. Washington, Dec. 9.—Cotton ginned prior to Dec. 1 was 9,563,124 running bales, including 134,150 round bales; 10,170 bales of American Egyptian and 25,741 bales of sea island, the census bureau today reported. ## Column 6 # FORMER ARMY MAN IS VICTIM OF INFLUENZA Late yesterday afternoon, at a Butte hospital, occurred the death of Collins L. Clark, pneumonia complications developing from an attack of influenza of but a week ago. Deceased was 32 years of age, and was released from army service at Camp Kearny last March after a long siege of illness. After securing his release from the army he came to Butte to live with his brother, P. A. Clark, who is well known in the mining city. Deceased lived in Colorado when he enlisted during the month of July, 1917. The survivors include his mother, Mrs. Laura L. Clark; a brother, R. H. Clark, and a sister, Lel[i?]a Nelson, of Parowan, Utah; P. A. Clark, a brother, 1134 West Park street, Butte, and another sister, Nellie Dalton, at Manassa, Col. Two other brothers are in the service of the United States, L. P. Clark in the army and C. W. Clark with the marines. # EAST BUTTE'S OUTPUT IS MORE THAN TWO MILLIONS The November output of copper for the East Butte Mining company is reported at 2,050,000 pounds as against 1,823,680 pounds in October and 2,033,000 for November, 1917. The largest month's output for the year 1918 was in January when it reached 2,574,140 pounds. On Monday last the East Butte company declared a dual dividend, one of 50 cents and an extra dividend of $1 per share. It is explained in the Boston news bureau of Dec. 5, that the money with which to make the $1 payment was derived from the sale at par to the Pittsmont Copper company of its holdings of $1,000,000 of Pittsmont preferred, which stock was acquired in December, 1912, and has now been purchased for retirement by the company. It is therefore a distribution of assets and as such is not subject to taxation. ### VAGRANTS ARE FINED. Those who had fines imposed against them in police court yesterday afternoon for vagrancy included: Leo Dalla, $10; Tom Walsh, $10; Carl Williamson, $10; Evelyn Smith, Dixie Robinson, $10; Miss Leonard and Blanche Martin, $20 each. Those serving verbal notice of appeal were Tom Walsh and the Leonard woman. Ivan McKiben, aged 18, was also up on a charge of vagrancy, but to give him a chance to mend his wayward ways, Judge Whitty suspended a 30-day county jail sentence. ### TO MEET PRESIDENT Washington, Dec. 9.—Admiral Sims, commander in chief of all the American naval forces in Europe, will personally command the fleet of [9?] battleships and 30 destroyers which is to meet President Wilson's ship at sea and escort it to Brest.
