A FEW FRAGMENTS
From the Fun, Yrollc and Fire
Works.
The Fourth OF July In Butte.

The principal characteristic Of last
Tuesday wa. It's Christian quistut'c.
The fun began 1t twelve o'clock
Monday night, when the Gagnon
whistle was blown for an hour, and
afforded nm admirable argument In
support Of future state. 1t murder
ell sleep. The ear-piercing ne was
no where. The other whistles took
up the call and In q short time there
was enough noise for hypocritical
sunday school hoy.
At three o'clock Tuesday morning
Fred Taylor got out II bed and fired
u salute Of thirteen guns before
breakfast. At sunrise he fired tiir-
teen more, ut noon thirteen more and
ut sunset thirteen more. by this
time he was in such practice that he
could not cease firing and had to kst p
going Off to see nlan-at intervals
all the evening. He was on his feet
just twenty-f0ur hOurs without rey-
ular meal or Il moments rest. such
nm example has it, moral for lazy
lien.
The burden Of attending to every
minute detail Of the arrangements
and in carrying out the programme
fell on the shoulders of Captain
shepherd AMI George Fitscl,cn, and
they did their duty nobly. The Cap
tain ON his charger locked every inch

done the State some service. He wits

diately.
The procession proceeded. The
Butte Fire Bri yade was its most at
tractive feature, the loys never look
al )" well. The Car Of State, Goddess

and he h one Of the survivors Of thu
horrible giant powdev tragedy which
blackened the morning o. the Fourth
Of July in Butte, and broaght to IN
untimely md the lives Of two valued
citizens.
Schmidt's story b In Substance ~

one OF the cabins just south west d
the Isele mine the night q the third
Of July, that b last Monday night.
We had been up al night, celebsat'
ing the Fourth. Towards morning
the other man and l went to sleer
on the bed. was sitting on the
edge Of the bed, with my head and
shoulders leaning hack towards the
wall. About four o'clock yesterday
morning Isele woke me up and said
1T wont do for you fellows to sleer
that way, why, you've been asleep
nearly three hours, 80: up. We an

powder and set them OF all ut once"

Of the bed. He and 6treicher were

from me. 1 could not see exactly
what they were doing, for In one

probably by the falling Of the dirt
roof Of the cabin which was . small
log building covered with earth,
and also quite narrow. There are four
or five cabins together, about . mile
and half from town.
MI. Ferdinand Iselc was y well
known citizen, having been in and
around Butt, since 1854 uninicrrupt-
caily, with the exception Of = short
absence IN 1867. The Isclc mine,
bonded 10 Mr.. Shaughnessy, was his
property an.l named for him. The
sale Of the Isc!e was recently conn
pletetl, the purchase price being So
nm, greater part Of which Mr.. I.ele
left in cash.
John Ze'ntner was the lucky sur
vivor of this awful affair, and escap-
etl entirely unhurt.
Within an hour after the explt'sion'
Coroner James Thompson was at the
scene Of the disaster. Isele's Indy
was frightfuIly niutilatetl, his right
leg being almost blown oil. Streicher
was wounded principally in the face,
which was unacceptable and pre-
scented CHASTITY spectacle. The jury
returned . verdict Of accidental death
from the careless ,,sc Of giant powder.

charitable is refined by a peculiar process.
Sieve-like boxes are covered with spruce
boughs, on which is placed the gnm. Steam
is introduced underneath. The gum is melt
ed, Is strained by the boughs, and then pas
ses into warm water, where it is kept from
hardening until the packer takes it out
draws it into sticks, and wraps it in tissue
paper, when it is ready for market.
The gum meets with ready sale. There
is not a village. town or city in Maine where
it is not in demand. In the larger mill cities
gum has a free sale. In Biddleford, Lewis
ton. Lawrence and Lowell, the factory girls
consumes large quantities. 1t is said that in
the lumber camps gum is used as means of
extending hospitalities. After meals the
host fills his own black clay pipe and handsit
to his guest. Later, clear Jumps of gum are
placed before the visitor, and he is asked to
take a chew. Maine produces forty thous-
and dellars worth Of gum in a year, some of
which finds its way to other markets, from
which it is distributed to various outlying
factory villages, where, as stated before it is
in great demand. Spruce gum is adulterated
| and those who adulterate take the trouble to
fashion the pieces Of gum to appear like
those taken in a pure state from the trees.
The ingredient of adulteration is supposed
to be the gum Of q pine tree.
