BUTTE, Mont, Dec. 10, 1sss.-Yester
Gay afternoon, after everything about the
Anaconda smelters had put on holiday
azure and many of the employees had
bldden farewell to friends, perhaps for.
ever, and taken trains for the east
ana west, sudden telegraphic clicking
was heard calling for Anaconda. ii
proved to be
| MESSAGE FROM j. Il. IIkGGIN,
in New York, to Marcus DAILY, stating
that all matters having been adjusted sat,
istactorily between the company and the
railroad, the mines and smelters of the
Anaconda company would at once resume
work. The trains began to roll in their
carloads Of coal. The fires were started
in the furnaces, the ore trains commenced
pouring in, and by tomorrow the vast
machinery will probably be in motion
again as though no stoppage had occur
RED. How many hearts leaped for joy at
this welcome news! How many hearths
and homes will now greet the "AIerry
christmas" with joy and gratitude that,
but for this glad news, would have been
shrouded in
DARKNESS AND DEsPoNDENCY!
The details of the arrangements by which
THIS settlement was reached are with the
partles themselves, and probably will not
De given to the public. Sufficient has
transplred, however, to justify the con
cluslon that the interests of the great An
aconda works will be no longer a second
ary consideration with the Montana Union
railway. In fact the road is practically
in the hands Of the smelter people, who.
the public may be assured, while they will
take good care that
THE WORKS ARE SUPPLIED
to their fullest capacity, will also see that
the interests OF the travelling public. mer-
chants and all having business with or
passing over the road will not be less
promptly and faithfully served than un-
der the former management This new
department is important in various as
poets. 1t means faster time, better ac-
commodations, greater celebrity and secur-
lty for the mails, closer connections with
other territorial lines, more favorable
rates for travel and traffic, and {; general
supervision and conduct of the line, with
the other vast properties to be operated
conJolntly Herewith, pre-eminently to the
advantage of Butte and Anaconda and, in
no merely passive sense, the upbuilding
and development OF the mining, agricul-
tural and manufacturing resources of
OUR OWN GLORIOUS MONTANA,
Here in Butte, on Saturday, the streets
were full of idle men. A careful esti-
mate, by one who ought to know, placed
the number at 5000, and many of them
without money and almost desperate.
One can readily imagine the effect of an
outcry or alarm upon such fevered mass
Of humanity. As if the occasion was not
to be wanting to arouse them to pitch of
madness, the cry was heard,
"a WHITE MANS HEAD CUT OFF
by a Chinamanr' The needed impetus
was given and the pell-mell rush
began for the scene Of the tragedy,
In was in an alley in rear of saloon
There, sure enough, lay the man, the life
current pouring from frighiful cash in
his neck. But Chinaman! where, o
where was he? 1t seemed that the whole
city had assembled to avenge the bloody
deed. A yell went up, "He's in that
loftP' pointing to an old log stable near
by; and it seemed for a few moments
that the ancient pile would be razed to
the ground. The
BLEEDING AND APPARENTLY DYING
man was carried into the rear of the
saloon. A doctor was Immediately called. |
After an examination Of the wound it was
found that the jugular vein had not been
cut, as was at first supposed. After the
usual washing and taking up of arteries !
the terrible cash was sewed up and the
1octor pronounced the wound not neces- |
sarily fatal. 1t was close call verify.
The ctfusion of blood was very great. !
The mans name was John Braden, q |
miner, about twenty-five years OF are,
powerful young fellow. 1t seems that he
lad been drinking some, and going out
1t the rear of the saloon passed the
Jhinaman, who was saving wood, saying
that
CELESTIAL LOVE DIDN'T LIKE.
Love spoke back, and Braden slapped
lin i'll the face: and 10! Love, in his most
unable manner, slashed his adversary's
leck as though it had been spruce pole;
md the spruce young man failed to come
0 time. The jaundiGe-hued personifca
ion Of Love took to his heels and made
rood his escape. Had he been found.
With the temper of that surging, raying
abble, he
