What He Has to Say About Medical Treat
ment of Prisoners.

What He Has to Say About Medical Treat
ment Of Prisoners.
In q brief item published Thursday last,
giving the details of a controversy between
the iailor and DR.. Tremblay, the former
gave it out that the doctor had refused to
prescribe medicine for prisoners in the jail,
and that he had issued instructions to the
druggist from whom medicines are usually
obtained not to honor the jailor's orders
unless accompanied each by q fresh pre-
scription. This the doctor emphatically
denies.
"Often when prisoners we're suffering
with the premonitory symptoms OF de-
lirium tremens," said be, 1.-THE jailor, in
stead OF telling me what was wanted,
would summon me by telephone to the
jail. Then I would have to make q trip
back to my Office and get the medicine pre-.
scribed. Had the jailor informed me OF
the prisoners condition, I could have
taken the necessary medicine along. Then,
again, I do not consider the jail attendants
posted in medic i science
to prescribe for the ailment OF prisoners,
and as ! have to assume responsibility
for results I prefer examining and prescrib.
ing for their maladiss myself. 80 far as re-
fusing to attend prisoners suffering from
venereai diseases is concerned it is next to
impossible to treat them with any degree
success in the jail. Ifthey were properly
furnished with clean beds and sepa-
rate rooms, and remain long enough, they
might be cured. Usually their sentences
too brief to permit successful treat
ment. In cast OF unusual severity / have
never declined to visit the Jail and extend
relief. I do refuse to assume the role oil q
messenger and carry medicine to the Jail.
am employ ed by a number OF mining
companies to prescribe for their men, but
none Of these companies ever dream OF
compelling mt to prescribe and then have
prescription filled and carried to the
mine. That is not the practice OF q ply.

A Bower Of Beauty Made More Attract.
i've BY Lovely Woman.
The Catholic fair, for the benefit OF st.
Patrick's parochial school, opened at
Miners Union hall last night. The at.
tendance was unusually large, and the
visitors free with their money, and as a
result when the doors closed, about mid.
night. the ladies in charge were in unusu.
ally good humor as they gleefully surveyed
the generous pile Of coin and crisp bank
notes. The display Of all kinds of fancy
goods was most bewildering and beautiful,
and showed the handiwork of many delft
fingers and ingenious minds. Everything
in the way Of b~rric-a-brac that the fertile
mind OF woman could suggest was there,
while che appeals to stake q chance'i
from beautiful ladies were heard on every
side, and so winsome were they made that
it too indeed q 'hard-hearted wretch to
resist them. The various booths we're
bowers OF loneliness both in the wares dis.
played, and in the personal charms OF those
who were in charge of them.
Tonight the voting of prizes will begin,
it having been decided not to hold those
last night. The voting this even.
ing will be q suit OF clothes to the most
popular barber with Phil Levy and G. M.
Joyce as the contestants. Following this
will be the voting OF q watch to the most
popular young lady OF South Butte. This
will be contested for by Miss Mamie Bowen
and Miss Kate Peters.

Communicative on thesubiect and refuse @
make any statement, yet their actions last
night gave current to . rumor that Mar.
shall Macarthur had o list Of those present
at the fight and was looking for them to
serve warrants Of arrest. The marshal
held g long consultation with George At
hof. Wards associate in business, and at
II o'clock last night be was hunting for
Gallagher's residence. presumably to
place him under arrest ON the charge
OF murder. The death Of Ward
lays all those present liable to arrest as
accessories to the murder, and several OF
those who were in attendance at the fight,
learning that warrants were about to issue
or their arrest, stated they would pack
their grips and leave the city. Az neal as
can be learned there were eighteen specta-
tors present. The police are said to- have
complete list Of the gang, for each Of
whom they have warrants OF arrest. Sew.

the fight manifested painful uneasiness last

'lumbers were neither sound nor refreshing

Daniel Bandmann and his company
opened an engagement at Maguire's thea
ter last evening. The strong rival attrac-
ton OF the Catholic fair operated dis.
astrously upon the audience he might
reasonably have expected, but which was
not half a house. The play was Hamlet"
with Mr.. Bandmann in the leading role.
The stars reading and conception OF the
piece were what might have been expected
of him, but the support was by no means
up to what the public had been led to an
ticipate. With the single exception OF Miss
Ellsworth, who played Ophelia very grace.
fully, there was not one actor that ap-
peared upon the stage who left anything
except q disagreeable impression. It is re-
grettable that Mr.. Bandmann has thought
fit to surround himself with such an inferior
and he will find it hard to
persuade the public to patronize him under
the circumstances. The play OF Hamlet
was utterly beyond their powers and was
rendered doubly painful by the fact that
Miss Oliver, who played the Queen, was
suffering from q hoarseness which should
in common humanity have confined her to
her room. 1t is to be hoped that
their efforts tonight in THE Merchant of
may show they possess some
merits which were wholly invisible last

by reason OF the dense smoke which pre-
vailed or because Of q new bran nd of whis.
key having struck town. At all events,
pugilistic encounters were decidedly numer
GUS q q cutting scrape very nearly
wound up the festivities. The last men.
toned alteration took place between q
gambler and the keeper Of q gambling
house. The gambler pulled q large ugly
and vicious looking knife from his pocket
and attempted to prod the other fellow be-
tween the ribs with it. Bystanders inter.
fered and beat the reporters out OF an item
and the coroner out OF an inquest. Such
undue interference should be prohibited.
Elmer Mayberry states that TIE MINER
was in error when it stated that he had
caused the arrest OF Charles Armstrong. a
bartender formerly in his employ, on the
charge OF forgery. He claims that Lille
Dale, the woman to whom Armstrong sent
a note at the behest of Tom Tobin, asking
her to Tomato q contribution to his de-
plited e~xchequer, caused the arrest OF
Armstrong on the above charge. Tobin
denied having authorized the note and re.
course was had against Armstrong. The
latter proved his innocence before Judge
Newkirk yesterday and was released.
Frank Hines got offended at something

he was compelled to hold his pistol with
both hands and ordered the attorney to
