Genius.

And now it is alleged that the au-
thor of the Bonnie Blue Flag, Harry
Mccarthy, is running a variety thea
tre at Missoula, Mont. That's rather
rough on a piece of martial music
that is considered to be superior to
the French Narsellaise. We were
back in old Virginia in 1869 and
heard a band play it in the Rich
mond theatre and saw people so
affected that they rose in their seats,
swung their hats ard gave the Amer
lean hurrah, in calling the band to
an enco e. And the author is rum
ming a dive at Missoula. Twas ever
thus with genius. ~ lendive Times,

July Weather.

Vennor, in his predictions for July,
does not take any big chances. He
says: ION the whole. July will be a
very warm month, with more than
an average number of violent thur
der-showers. On the 10Th occurs the
conjunction of Mars and Saturn at
1919 in the afternoon, and on the
same day Jupiter is in conjunction
with Mercury. A violent storm may
be expected on that and probably the
following day, with intense electrical
manifestations along the coast on the
North Atlantic ocean,"

SKnLFUL CRACKSMEN.
A Scientific Job Of Safe Blowing
to Break Into an Empty
Safe.

One of the most expert jobs of safe
breaking ever done in Butte was ex-
ecuted on a Diebold safe in Lavell
Bros. lumber effice some time during
Wednesday night. The office is a
small building on West Park street,
which is easily entered, by the front
door OF by the windows; no precau-
tions being taken against burglary,
as it never contains anything of
special value. During Wednesday
the safe contained $233 in bills and
gold, but as is the custom, the money
was removed before closing at night.
Upon entering the Office yesterday
morning Mr.. Lavell was surprised to
find his safe door wide open and a
portion of the lock lying upon the
floor. The burglars had drilled a 1 hole
about three-fourths of an inch to the
left of the combination disc and an
inch and a half deep, penetrating the
cast iron shoulder upon which the
bolt turns, which secures the
three main bolts when the safe is
locked. An iron rod was evidently
inserted in this hole, which being
sharply with a hammer, broke
The entire shoulder, minor bolt and
cast iron casing away and left the
;hree main bolts free to be easily
by the knob. The work was
executed in every detail and
indicates a perfect knowledge of the
construction Of the safe, and the
work of . skillful mechanic per-
ormed with the most effective tools.
Their b,otless effort will bear good
ruits in warning the business COM
nunity of the presence in our midst
# skillful cracksmen and putting
hem o. guard against similar at
empts in the future.

1aE PENITENTIARY ESCAPE.
insecure Fastenings Afford Six
Prisoners a Chance for
Liberty.
DICK Pettis Proves Himself an
Expert Jail Breaker.
No Glue to Their Whereabouts

"A gentleman who arrived from
Deer Ledge yesterday informs us that
the rumor circulated here az to the
manner in which six prisoners es-
capped from the penitentiary Tuesday
night Is Incorrect. Mickey was used.
but the prisoners, all being Short
Term men, were confined in an out
building on the south side of the
penltentiary enclosure. The iron
deor of the building was secured by
an iron bar, kept in place by bolts,
the nuts OF which were on the inside
OF the door. BY unscrswing the nuts
the bar was easily removed, and
Watching their opportunity, in the
darkness of tho night, while the
guard was on the opposite
side of the main building,
the six prisoners made their egress
about 9 o'clock Tuesday night, and
scaling the high board fence which
encloses the grounds, broke for the
mountains. Eleven prisoners were
confined in the clubhouse but five re-
fused to join in the escape. The
names of the escaped prisoners, q full
description of whom was published
in yesterdays MINER, are Louis
Hermanson, James Stephens, Rich,
ard Pettis, James Duncan, VIM.
Morgan and Frank Sailsr alias G.
B. Aubury. Warden Botkin imme-
diately sent men in every direction
in pursuit Of the prisoners, but when
our informant left Deer Lodge yes
terday afternoon no clue had been
obtained to the whereabouts of any
of them. This escape can probably
be set down a. q result of an insult
bciency of guards; as had there been
two guards instead Of one the pris-
oners could not have taken advant-
age of the main building being
between them and the single guard,
to scale the wall. The deficiency
was remedied, in q measure, by put |
ting two additional guards on duty
yesterday. The prisoners who re-
fused to escape say that Dick Pettis
was the planner and l adler in the |
escape. While in Jail in this city
told enough of his history to
indicate that he had spent most of
his life behind the bars and had been
. notorious jail breaker. His attempt
to escape from the county Jail last
when a shot from Tailor
Seybolt's revolver brought him to a
halt, evinced his disposition in that
and a plan concocted by
aim to lasso the jailor and liberate
Ill the inmates was unearthed q
short time before he was taken to
Deer Lodge.

ANACONDA, July 10, 1883.
This new town is located at the
mouth Of Warm Springs Creek,
about ten miles above Warm Springs.
As yet the inhabitants are living
wholly on great expectations, there
being nothing here to make q town;
but the prospect Of the construction
here of the big Anaconda smelter and
speedy railroad connection, has in
duced about two hundred people to
come in. with q view to being first on
tho ground when the boom comes.
Most of them are mechanics and
~prospectors, who have secured the vi
cinlty in search of iron, lime rock
and mineral required in the operating
of q smelter. About forty buildings Of
all kinds have been erected, fifteen
of which are business houses, most
of them conducted by Butte men.
The camp presents q lively appear
ance and the business men are busy
as bees.
The Anaconda company is max
ing preparations to commence work
on their smelter, which it is said,
will at the start have a capacity of 800
tons per day, which will subseq uently
be increased to 500 tons. Contracts
have been let for burning two mill
lion brick, most of which will be
used by the company, although a
number of business men talk of
building brick stores as soon as tue
town is on q permanent basis. Real
estate is up in the pictures, lots sell
ing at from $500 to $3.50 each, q price
which would have bought a quarter
section six months ago.
Henry Mahon, formerly with Kin
na 4 Jack, is doing q rushing bust
ness in the hardware line. It is an
derstood he will soon have COMPETE
ton in the establishment here of a
branch of the Butte Hardware Com
pany.
J. Ross Clark has a fine stock of
general merchandise and is doing a
good business.
D. Cohen, ST., is opening a general
supply store under the management
of John G. Evans. MI. Cohen con-
templates the erection of q large brick
store room in the near future.
VIM. Thompson has q branch here
and is doing an extensive lumber
business.
Chris. Nisler is one of the institu-
items of the town and is doing a
rushing business in the amber bever-
age which doth exhilerate but not
James Keefe, formerly of the Sad
die Rock restaurant, is now the pro-
prietor of a first-class hotel called the
House.
Halvorson & Tyler have a tobacco,
news and fruit depot. They also
carry a small stock of dry goods and
clothing.
Every branch of business seems to
be pretty well represented with the
exception Of the art t%onsorial, and
one Of its distinguished disciples
would find this a good location for a
shop.
Another deprivation suffered by
the new camp is a total lack of mail
facilities, but the necessary papers
have been forwarded to Washington,
and it Is expected that a postotfice
will be established here in a few
lays. More anon. PILLS.

Trapped Into Marriage the Bride
of a Fortnight Sues for a
Divorce.

On June 25th last, John H. F. Won
Enschut and Celestia Wakeham were
married in this city, and the fact was
noted the next day in a marriage no.
tice in the Tribune. 1t would seem
that this marriage has proven unhap-
py, as the bride of a fortnight has
brought suit in the Third District
Court for divorce and alimeny. In
her complaint she asserts that on
June 23d Won Enschut t~elegraphed
her at Bingham that he ives sick and
dying in this city, and was anxious
to see her before dissolution;
that she, upen the request of
her mother, came here to see
him; that she was by strategy sur
prised and placed in duress, was ag-
itated and rendered incompetent TO
act, and that said marriage was
without her consent and knowledge
of what she did. She alleges that
she has not lived with defendant as
a wife, and cannot do so. Plaintiff
further alleges that she believes de-
PENDANT to be worth over $50, 600, and
asks for $40, 600, and also the annull-
ing of the marriage between herself
and defendant. She also prays for
$500 counsel fees and such alimony
pending suit as the court may deem
proper. Salt Lake Tribune, 11th.
