Looking in the direction whence it proceeded,
we discovered the dark forms of dozen cav

boys by the Silver City Club not having been
accepted, owing we belleye to a previous en-
gagement, the Butte players had not the
pleasure of welcoming their expected guests
on the Fourth. But they were determined
That the day should not pass without a game ;
accordingly from the players of Butte and
Walkerville, a picked nine known as the
Novelties, were matched against the Silver
Cities on the Race Course last Friday. The
match was very even, as may be seen from
the score given below which has been handed
us by a member of the new club. At the
end of the sixth innings the game was
brought to a close by an accident through
which one of the Silver Cities was for the
time disabled. 1t will probably be played
anew at an early date:

To suffer an attack of the " Fourth of July"
has heretofore been looked upon as a danger
to which the graceless sex alone was exposed;
but Judging from a feature of the Fireman's
ball the other night it looks very much as if
the fair had also experienced a slight spasm.
At school hall about three o'clock in the
morning the last waltz was called. After six
hours dancing through the warm summer
night the walters must have been all more
or less fatigued, but this did not prevent a
saitatory contest from being entered into with
q will. Such was not the intention when the
dance began but in some manner the ladies
became animated by a desire to ''waltz down"
their rivals, and then the strife began. Round
and round went che walters, keeping time to
the cadences of the music which rose and fell
in its unceasing strain until it seemed as if it
were furnished by the rhythmic FLASHING of
waters or some other never-ceasing agency,
instead of proceeding from the activity of hui
man hands and brains. Round and round
they continued to spin. At half-past six when
the ringing of the school bell summoned a
IcpOItcT u IN SCCHo, Liz AiItlc WAhtC SipPCAc
fell "as patti to the music as its echo" while at
least two Of the ladies could not have looked
more blooming upon entering the hall the
evening previous. How the dance would
have terminated if the fair contestants had
been left to decide the issue in which all a
woman's obstinacy was embarked it would be
hard to tell. Fortunately, some one coaxed
the musicians to cease playing at a quarter OF
seven, when the match was declared a tie
between the four competitors still on the
floor. Five couples entered into the contest
in the first place, nearly four hours of unin-
terrupted Waiting having forced only one
lady to withdraw. As for the others, the dance
would certainly have been continued some
hours longer if the music had not ceased
No, it's only those horrid men who come
within range of Fourth of July influences.

The Independent gives the details Of an
accident which occurred yesterday week 70
the coach on the Deer Lodge and Helena
route, and In which Mr.. Kcnnon, member Of
the Council from Deer Lodge county, sus-
tanned 30 severe a compound fracture Of the
right leg that immediate amputation was
found to be necessary. Mr.. Kennon, IN conn
pany with several other members Of the
Legislature, wa on his way Il Helena to
attend the extra session. The journey was
made without mishap until the coach was
within seven miles Of Helena, when the
horses took fright at a robe carried BY a pack
animal and LEFT the road, despite the efforts
Of the driver. In the sharp tuin the tongue
snapped Of when the inside passengers, Ives,
Mitchell, Hyde, Mccormick, Forbis and
Ksnnon, jumped out In about the order IN
which their names are given. They all
reached ground without injury, except Mr..
Kennon, who alighted On the sloping hillside
in such a manner that he sustained a COM
pound fracture Of the right leg just above the
ankle. The bone protruded several inches,

limb were at once perceived. The sufferer
was tenderly conveyed to Helena where the
amputation OF the broken limb was imme-
dlately performed by DR.. A. H. Mitchell
with that gentleman's usual skill and success.
Neither the suffering attending the hurt and
subsequent operation, nor the knowledge Of
the great misfortune that had befallen hin
was able to affect in the slightest degree the
plucky tortitude with which those Affections
were endured. The Independent says
awhile Oh the way to the hotel (previous To
the amputation) a Deer Lodge lady passed
the wagon in the street, and Dick dotted his
hat as politely and pleasantly as though or

has a large circle Of friends who appreciate
his genial nature in private life, as well as BIZ
sterling honesty of purpose as a public man

Mr.. j. j. Reins, lately from Glendale. f.
vors us with the following interesting items
of news
On the evening of the Fourth a ~coal-burn-
er known as "Big Archer was shot and
MORALLY wounded by officer Ebenhack. A
warrant had been placed in Ebenhack's hands
for the arrest Of Archer on the charge Of 6
gravated assault. The latter resisted arrest,
using threats and making demonstrations
which led to the shooting with the effect
stated.
About fifty men are at work upon the new
structure to replace the building destroyed
by fire a couple Of weeks ago.
A subscription paper was circulating In
Glendale for, funds to rebuild tbs Camp
Creek bridge. After a fair amount vas
raised Q petition was to be presented asking
the County Commissioner to take charge Of
and complete the job at the earliest possible
date.
A large force of men are now at work On
the Butte and Glendale direct road, on the
section between Glendale INT the bridge e.
Wunderlich's. With this portioni in good 70
pair the road will be open for loaded teams
from Butte. Freighters returning lightto the
terminus by taking the route via Glendale
save toll in crossing the Big Hole, since the
bridge at Wunderlich's is free. Besides, they
stand a good chance OF getting a return load
of bullion. IN.
Last week, Rafella, the Spanish woman
known to the criminal records of Deer
Lodge County, had . shooting scrape at
Glendale in which three shots were fired
from her little pistol. Arrested and taken
before the J. p, she was punished with Zine
for poor Workmanship, perhaps. On The
Fourth in another scrape she fired three
more shots, but they all ended in smoke.

The ammunition wagon was also the occa-
sion of alarm, for fear some ambitious torpe-
do or firecracker should penetrate to the dead
ly stores it contained, in which case an explo-
sion fearful to think of must have ensued. But
fortunately nothing of the kind happened. At

men looked well in their uniform of clean
face, smock frock and belt. If, sometimes, the
stirrups of their saddles were too long by a
trifh of eighteen inches or so, this arose from
a defect which they will in time grow up to
equal. The horse soldiers were supplemented

M
minds the sad cases of last year, and
once more suggests the danger to
which our most ambitious students
are liable. The present absurd man
ner of marking discourages many stu
dents from doing hard work, but to
those who are dependent on scholar
ships, and are conscientious enough to
elect difficult courses, it offers strong
temptation. To such students the
lesson of this new cahlmity cannot be
too strongly emphasized.
Without doubt marks play alto
gether too important a part in the
ideals of many students, but the fault
is as much that of the faculty as that
of the students. 1t is to be regretted
that the present condition of the
University will not permit the aboli-
ton of all systems of definite marks.
But though such a reform cannot be
accomplished fcy many years to come,
the faculty might give some relief, or
at least boldly face the evil. 1t is we'll
known throughout the college that the
two deaths of last year were the re-
suit of reckless overwork and it is
difficult to reconcile with this fact the
statement in the presidents last re-
port, which reads, I'm no one of the
cases could the fatal disease be attrib-
uted to any exposure or over-exertion
incident to a student life, or to resi-
dence in Cambridge.
