# BEGIN TRIAL
# OF BEN GOMEZ
### Charged With Two Other Mexicans With Murder of John Domengo at Divide on last March 17.
Hearing of criminal cases was begun in Judge J. V. Dwyer's court yesterday morning, when Ben Gomez, one of the trio charged with the murder of John Domengo at Divide last March 17, was arraigned. The other two accused, Felix Gomez and Cresensiano Rodriguez, will be tried later, Ben Gomez having obtained a separate trial.
In opening the case for the prosecution County Attorney Jackson, outlined to the jury what he and his deputy, N. A. Rotering, expected to show: that Domengo was killed on the night of March 16 or early the following morning by a blow on the head with an ax; that on the evening of March 16 the three Mexicans and Domengo were drinking together in the Keyes saloon at Divide; and that the killing was done by the three Mexicans, or one of them.
Joseph Manwaring, county surveyor, testified to the making of the plats and surveys to be used in the case showing the location of the railroad, hotel, bunk-house and its interior at Divide.
Frank Keyes, testified to having served the four men drinks in his saloon on the evening of March 16.
### Section Foreman on Stand.
Thomas Wheeler, section foreman of the Oregon Short Line railroad at Divide, told the jury that Domengo had ceased work on the section on the afternoon of March 16; that he had been drinking a little; that the three Mexicans had come to Divide from another section further down the line; that Domengo late at night told him they were in the bunk-house and would not let him in, that Domengo left the hotel where he, Wheeler, was staying about midnight and said he was going to the bunk-house; that a few minutes later he heard a man shout "Oh," as if he had been injured, but that he could not swear it was Domengo's voice; that next morning he found Domengo near the bunk-house in a dying condition with his head crushed. Wheeler identified a bloody ax which he had picked up that morning near the tracks.
W. S. Paul, a section hand, was the next witness. He testified that on the night of March 16 while he was in bed at the bunk-house he awoke and saw the three Mexicans eating his food, but said nothing to them as he did not wish to have any trouble. He said he went to sleep again and awoke later to see the Mexicans and Domengo engaged in a quarrel. The Mexicans, he testified, had Domengo backed to the wall, and the latter was trying to protect himself by holding the ax before him in a vertical position.
The defense is conducted by Attorneys Louis Haven, and James O'Flynn.
The jury chosen in the case is: F. A. McIntyre, Charles H. Riley, Dan O'Brien, George Evans, Simon Behan, Charles Actis, J. A. H[o?]sk[in?]g, Melborn Tracey, Martin Meyer, John A. Martin, C. E. Pierce, and William B. Rowe.
Owing to the prevalence of influenza in the city Judge Dwyer permitted the jury to go to their homes for the night.

# MANY UNIVERSITY MEN
# WILL RESUME STUDIES
### Fighters Who Dropped Books for Rifles Will Return Soon.
(State University News Service.)
Missoula, Dec. 9.—If letters received by President Sisson are a criterion, a large number of the former State University of Montana men who were called to the colors will return to college as soon as the army and navy forces are demobilized.
Kyle Jones, who was wounded in the legs with shrapnel, writes from base hospital No. 202, A. E. F., Orleans, France, where he is recovering, that he intends to continue his education, and has written for a record of his credits obtained at the university. Jones says that it may be possible for him to enter an English or French university until demobilized.
Jack Goldman, also a former student, who is at Pelham bay awaiting orders to report for training at the navy officers' pay school at Princeton university, writes that as soon as he is discharged he will return to the university. Goldman writes President Sisson that his training may continue until next summer, but that as soon thereafter as it is possible to obtain a discharge he will [enter college again?].

SAW BIG AIR FIGHT.
[portrait]
SERGEANT H. H. GORDON.
Writing from somewhere in France of an exciting air battle in which the boches made an attack on an American balloon and the reciprocity tactics of the Yanks, Sergeant H. H. Gordon says that the aerial battle was wonderful to witness, but owing to the fast flying of the machines, which at the altitude precluded the possibility of hitting the right target, prevented the Yank anti-aircraft guns from taking chances. However, one machine was sent to the ground in flames and the balance of the attacking force "beat it back" to their own lines.
# MERCHANTS ARE
# READY TO HELP
### Meeting of Advertising Committee Shows That Everything Possible Will Be Done to Assist Health Board.
The members of the so-called advertising committee, representing the business interests of this city, met yesterday at the Finlen hotel and later announced without equivocation that the business interests of this city were unanimous in a desire to co-operate with the health board.
The following letter was sent yesterday to the various business men of Butte:
"At the suggestion of the board of health this communication is addressed to you.
"Until further notice kindly refrain from using price figures or their equivalent in your advertising, or cards showing price reductions on window cards.
"Do not permit crowds to congregate in your place of business.
"That the health of the people of the community and the welfare of the merchants generally may be safeguarded, the board of health has permitted the business houses to resume operations under the above quoted restrictions.
"If you and every other merchant will observe these demands fully, your committee feels that no serious increase in the present 'flu' epidemic will occur, and it will be but a few days until business can be conducted along usual lines.
"If the rules are not complied with, both in fact and in spirit, it is most probable that all stores will be ordered closed as heretofore.
"Anticipating your support at this crucial time,
"Very truly yours,
"COMMITTEE ON PATROL, INVESTIGATION AND PUBLICITY."
# W. F. RUNKLE DIES

He was married and had been employed in the mines for years. His home was 1629 North Main street.

# M'CARTHY'S NEPHEW IS
# DROWNED NEAR IRELAND
James J. McCarthy, secretary of the Centennial Brewing company, received word yesterday that his nephew, Jack Sullivan, had been drowned with four other young men, off the Irish coast while returning from a fishing trip.
Mr. McCarthy's nephew was a famous athlete and at one time held the all-around championship of West Cork. Richard and Robert Dwyer, also lost in the same accident, were cousins of James Murphy of the Hennessy company. The accident happened Nov. 11, when the boat struck some rocks near the shore and was dashed to pieces.

# PLEA FOR THE
# LITTLE STORES
### Mayor W. H. Maloney Appealed to in Regard to Closing Small Establishments After Six o'Clock and Sundays.
Again has come up the plea of citizens who are opposed to the idea of forcing the little grocery stores and markets of the city, scattered about residential districts, to close their places of business at 6:00 o'clock in the evening and on Sundays and holidays. Yesterday Mayor W. H. Maloney was waited on in regard to this question and he promised to take it under consideration.
This matter has aroused a lot of comment around Butte. From just what source it emanated there seems to be some doubt, but the fact remains that there are a large number of citizens who oppose the idea of forcing these little establishments, so handy in emergency after the larger establishments uptown have closed, to regulate their business along the lines of larger institutions.
### Claim Them Handy.
The claim is made that they are not only handy, but a necessity. It is maintained that many a housewife finds herself short of some needed dinner article or something for dad's or the kiddies' breakfast in the morning, forgotten in the list of the day. She can get it after 6:00 o'clock or she can get it on a Sunday when the uptown stores are closed.
The argument presented is that most of these little stores are conducted by women with families to support, or by crippled men, many of them residents of Butte for years. It is further added that there are no clerks employed in these stores outside of the immediate members of the family. What business is done, the bulk comes after 6 o'clock at night in emergency cases, or on Sundays or holidays.
It is not fair, the claim was made to the mayor yesterday, to exclude these little stores, which, it is alleged, do no damage to the organized rules of business locally, from utilizing the hours of the day wherein they transact the bulk of their business.
It was also pointed out that as far as congestion because of the flu is concerned, there are never more than two or three people in any one of these little stores at a time, hence, it was suggested to the mayor, that no objection to hours of operation could be brought forth.
# WILL OF A. H. MUELLER
# IS FILED FOR PROBATE
Attorney John E. Corrette, representing the estate of the late Arthur H. Mueller, president of the Centennial Brewing company, filed the will of Mr. Mueller with the clerk of the district court yesterday morning. The will bears date of Oct. 9, 1908. One of the witnesses is Walter Mueller, a brother, who died yesterday. Kathryn M. Mueller, widow of Mr. Mueller, is named executrix. The petition for probate declares that the value of the estate does not exceed $200,000.
# FALLS A WAR VICTIM
# JUST AT THE FINISH
Word was received here yesterday by Charles Austin, secretary of the Butte chamber of commerce, to the effect that a nephew, Ivo Austin, had been killed in action just before the signing of the armistice. The young man had served with General Allenby's troops for three years, was transferred to the battlefields of France and there met his death.
# BACK LIKE A
# BOARD? IT'S
# YOUR KIDNEYS
There's no use suffering from the awful agony of lame back. Don't wait till it "passes off." It only comes back. Find the cause and stop it. Diseased conditions of the bladder or kidneys are usually indicated by stiff lame back, wrenching pains, lumbago, sciatica, nervousness, sleeplessness, tired, worn-out feeling, pain in the lower abdomen. These are nature's signals for help!
Here's the remedy. When you feel the first twinges of pain or experience any of these symptoms, get busy at once. Go to your druggist and get a box of the pure, original GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Capsules, imported fresh every month from the laboratories in Haarlem, Holland. Pleasant and easy to take, they almost instantly attack the poisonous germs that are clogging up your system and bring quick relief.
For over two hundred years they have been helping the sick. Why not try them? Sold everywhere by reliable druggists in sealed packages. Three sizes. Money back if they do not help you. Ask for "GOLD MEDAL." and be sure the name "GOLD MEDAL" is on the box.—Adv.

THE true gift giver of today is better known by the wisdom of his selection than by the amount of money he spends. So long as the gift bears distinction, its cost may be dropped out of consideration—the "Gift Spirit" is not measured in dollars and cents.
In this connection you will find the M. Delovage displays an inspiration. So many things can be had at such moderate prices that the wants of anyone may be satisfied.
