Lumber Camp Fun


One of the favorite games is ..put
your head in the hat They draw lots,
and the unfortunate victim hides his
face by drawing hat over it. Some
body gives him. a whack with the palm
of his hand, and he is required to. guess
who the man was If he guesses right
he is relieved by the man who gave tho
blow, but wrong guess results in
another blow. As some of the menhaye
hand like sledge-hammer the unfor-
tanate sometimes gets black and blue
before he guesses correctly The fun is
enjoyed intensely by the whackers, al
though the one who gets whacked NAV
not appreciate the joke so hugely. +

Horse Stea ling.

E. J. Mckinley came up from,
Anaconda Sunday in search Of a sto-
len team OF horses which were sold
to James Balsdan a week or ten days
ago. Mckinley is a farmer living
near. Missoula, and having four
horses for sale at Anaconda, he sue
ceeded in selling one team to D. M;
Caskei, Superintendent of the Ana
conda Smelling Works, but could
not dispose oftne other one. He hired
James Boyce to drive them and went
home to Missoula. Returning Que
day last week on a visit with
his wife, he disco cred that
his team was gone. After
making inquiries. he found the
team in the possession of Mr.. Balls
dan, of the Park, to whom they had
been sold. The latter had paid two
hundred dollars for the team, wagon
and outfit, and yesterday re-bought
the same for three hundred dollars
from the proper owner. Horse-steal-
ing seems to be INDUCED in pretty
freely OF late. One mau ran off twelve
head OF horses and mules several
weeks ago and has not been caught
yet. A little of the old-time law
not be ainiss here.

throughout the entire performance.
No matter how often seen this piece
never loses its interest. and is replete
with splendid stage effects and thrill

her fine acting, and as a whole it
should be we'll pstronized during the

Louise Rial, as Henriette, was all

quire, and lin the fifth act did some
very fine acting, while Miss Phelps,
as the blind gill, Louise,
which, by the way, is generally the
principal character, was remarkably
good. Jennie Mcclellan took both

The funeral Of Edward James,
which took place yesterday after.
noon, was largely attended. The de.
ceased had made many friends in the
community during his residence in
Butte, and quite u Number of them
followed the remains to their last
resting place. The Union Guards,
in full uniform, with the band, es-
corted the body to the burial ground.
where, after the usual ceremonies the
coffin was lowered into the grave.
James was a member Of the Union
guards Of Nevada, and for this reas-
on was buried with military honors
10y that organization in this city. The

Sudden Death,

Night before last about 9 O'Clock
Edward James, Il young miner nine
teen years of age, was going in COM
pany With a friend to a cabin on
east Copper street when young James
told his friend to walk on as be must
stop a moment. The former, not
%suspecting anything was wrong,
started ahead. but had gone only a
few steps when he heard young
James cry out ''Oh!' and turning
saw him throw his hands up and
fall to the ground. The friend rushed
up to MIN and raised him on his
knees, but James was dead. The
verdict of the corOner's jury was
death from heart disease with which
the deceased had been troubled for
some time. 1t was for this reason
that he came to this country from
Nevada two years and four months
ago, the doctors advising a change OF
climate. Young James was a Corn
ishman, was OF steady habits, and was
much liked by all who knew him.

Runaway.

Day before yesterday. about noon,
a team on upper Main street becom-
ing frightened, stared to run. One
man was in the wagon and had hold
OF the reins, while another was hold
ing one Of the horses by his bride.
AS the horses started they reared and
plunged and striking the latter, threw
him with some force to the ground,
the wheels of the wagon passing
over him. The man who was inside,
seeing he could not stop the team,
dropped the reins and jumped out at
the back end OF the wagon. The
horses kept on down Main street I'M
til near Quartz. when one of them
throwing himself the team stopped,
after the other horse had dragged the
fallen one some distance. The man
who was run over was bruised con-
siderably, but received no injuries CT
q serious nature.

ed the judges 8 nd prosecuting officers
in Utah to enforce the law. The lee
turer mentioned the case of the late
Chief Justice Mexican, whom he de-
scribed as fearless and i%ncorruptible
jurist,..a sagacious leader and a Chris
tan gentleman. This representative
of the government set about bringing
defiant law-treakers to justice, and
while the clamor against him was
the loudest, he was summarily
removed, ana this Inundated patriot
went to his grave without the moor
satisfaction being afforded him of
knowing wherein he had offended.
Quite recently, Governor Neal, Of
Idaho, was also displaced, and the
cause of his removal is no less in
scrutable. He had commenced an
earnest and successful crusade 40 inst
Mormon lawlessness and immortality
in that Territory, and the severe re-
buke administered to him is supposed
to be due to an insidious Mormon in
fuence secretly exercised in Wash
ington.
Mr.. Lockley gives it az his opinion.
based upon seven years. careful study
of the situation in Utah, that more
laws to suppress polygamy are not
required, but a staunch backing up
Of the Federal officers by the govern
ment while they engage in a death
grapple with this surviving twin
relic of barbarism, and the active co
operation of their GENTLE fellow citi-
zens while this difficult and danger
GUS exorcism is wrought out.
The lecture occupied nearly an
hour and a half in its delivery, bu,
the attention of the audience was 50
engaged by the speaker that it
made no note of the passing time. At
the conclusion of the lecture the !
speaker was greeted by an applause
attested the pleasure enjoyed
by tie large assembly.
