WHAr HE saw IN MONTANA
The wild Stories Told by = Senator From
Minnesota.

& AnAO0sS0s s&-sEE5
From the St. Paul 'sGlobe-D emocrat:'
Senator Scheffer has recently been visiting
in Montana. where he got q good deal 81
experience in pioneer life. he SAW the wild
broncho on his native plains and watched
the cowboys lassoing him. He saw "Bron'
cho Buster" tame a wild horse and break
him to the saddle in fifteen minutes. But
what impressed the senator most was the
queer civilization Of the mining camps.
They charge fancy prices for drinks Of all
kinds at the saloons, but it is the ~invaria.
BILE custom when q patron orders some.
thing for the barkeeper TO stand treat on
the next round, and you give offense to the
saloon man unless You take q glass or a
cigar with him when invited. That's Mon
tana hospitality.
Then he saw something OF the other side
of pioneer life. One fellow held q grudge
against another one and proceeded to take
satisfaction in regular Montana fashion.
He vent to his place of business, poked q
revolver through the window and cleared
out everybody in the establishment. The
proprietor fell, pierced through the heart,
and two visitors who were in the house,
unconscious Of pending hostilities, were
carried out on s%tretchers after the fray.
Another miner went to the camp Of his
enemy and murdered a whole family in
cold blood. "And what struck me as be-
ing peculiar about this kind OF business"
remarked the senator, was that nobody
in the neighborhood seemed to be excited
about it.
"These two tragedies did not create as
much OF a sensation in that locality as a
dog fight would here in st. Paul. The muir
derers went their way without any at
tempt being made to arrest them, and the
people in the neighborhood talked it over
az coolly as if it were an every day affair"

A Rich Discovery Said to Have Been
Made on Harvey Creek.
From the Anaconda "Review:" Last
week James Hammond, OF Silver Lake,
spent a day in this city. During a CONVEX.
sation with a frien nd he told of his mines at
the head of Harvey creek, where he, with
John Caplice, OF Butte, and others, own
several different claims, among which are
the Lookout, Alps and Scout. They are
all gold quartz mines.
At present the principal work is being
done on the Lookout mine. Mr.. Ham.
mond says, they will have plenty OF rock
that will run from $40 to $50 to the ton,
and an unlimited amount that will run SIS
per ton. When here he vas on his way to
Butte, where he went to complete arrange.
ments for incorporating these mines into a
stock company, with it's principal office at
Butte. Mr.. Hammond a the greatest
difficulty they will have to overcome will be
the building OF a road to the mines, as the
mountains are very rough aud steep, which
will, of course, necessitate the expenditure
OF a great deal OF money, but after this is
lone further developments and the build
ing OF a mill will be expedited to q very
great extent.
Mr.. Hammond is one OF the Oldest pros
pectors in this section of the country, and
his numerous friends rejoice that he has
something now that will give him the golden
returns for his hard luck and work in the
past. From a man who has worked in
gold quartz for years, and who knows
whereof he speaks, says that these mines
will develop into the best gold producing
property that has ever been discovered in
Montana.

ANOTHER BROKEN DAM.

Two Women and a Child Drowned at
Cranston, Rhode Island
Providence, R. l., special OF August %:
The Spring Lake reservoir, neal Fiskvil.e,
in the southwest corner of Cranston, about
fifteen miles from the city, which supplies
a whole row OF mill villages along the Paw
tucket river, burst this afternoon. Down
the valley, Mrs. Green, aged 60, Mrs.
Hawkins, aged 80, and Mrs. Tew's Sol Z
years old, were walking through a strip
of wood and were overtaken by the food
and drowned. The bodies were found in
the wood, through which the water quickly
ran until it emptied into the Pawtucket
river.
The river rose rapidly and caused con-
siderable alarm among the people along
the banks, who thought the Ponegansett
reservoir, the biggest in the state, had
gone.
Many of them left their homes and
fled, but the food subsidized as rapidly as
it had come. The path Of the water from
the reservoir was through a thinly settled
country and the only damage to property
was the wrecking OF a stable and demolish'
ing of three road bridges.
The cause OF the bursting OF the dam is
believed to be O spring that existed under
the middle of the dam. The builders did
not take sufficient p%recaution to choke the
spring. and that undermined the dam.
Earl Dodge, 9 years old, was with the
party that was overtaken and drowned.
He escaped with bruises by ~clinging to a

son had set his heart upon securing the

Bressler and His Famous Five Thousand
Dollar Character in Hook.
After keeping up a quiet hunt
since Friday, Sheriff Lloyd managed
to cast his official eye on C. W.
Bressier, yesterday, and in a few mo.
ments thereafter also laid his hand, Off
cially, on the gentleman's shoulder, and
Mr.. Bressler and his hand-picked, fast color
S., 900 character was a prisoner once more.
The arrest was made on a telegraphic Or
der from the authorities at Dillon. and the
charge against the gentleman with the capt.
tai prize character and reputation is grand
larceny.
Bressler was taken to the sherif's Office
and later in the day was placed in Jail just
the same as though his character had only
q commercial value of six bits instead OF
being rated, by the owner OF it, at SIS, 900,
specie value. At first Jailor Richards was
afraid that owing to the crowded condi-
ton of the Jail, he would not have room
for both Bressler and the valuable char
acter. but by %crowding them . little he
managed to get both behind the bars.
1t ia expected that an officer from Dillon
will arrive to-day to take both Bressler
and that famous character back for trial.

Fears that the Camp will be Destroyed
by Forest Fires.
A gentleman who arrived from Deer Lodge
last night, brought Information OF the
great danger from timber fires which was
threatening the mining camp Of Champion.
He said that during the day Mr.. Facer,
living at Champion. had arrived at Deer
Lodge and informed the people OF the lat
ter place that the fires were within one
mile OF the camp, and that it the wind
shifted the town and everything n it would
be destroyed in a few hours afterward. The
only thing that had saved the camp up to
the time when he left was the fact of the
wind blowing toward the fire from the
front instead OF striking it from the rear.
In q short time after his arrival the citi.
zens OF Deer Lodge organized volunteer
companies to 60 to the threatened camps
assistance, and also began to solicit con
tributions to employ men for the same
purpose.

One great charm possessed by this famous
little woman is the entire absence OF
masculinity in her appearance and manner.
She is essentially a womanly woman; her
voice is unsteady modulated; her toilets
are marvels OF Worth's skill; and her treat
ment OF dry, physiological facts is charac-
terized by quaint humor and delicious sa-
tire. She will begin her series at the opera
house Tuesday night in a free lecture to
both sexes. Wednesday afternoon a free
matinee t. ladies only will be given. The
Rocky Mountain News, Denver, says:
"As she proceeded with her remarks, her
easy command of language, fluent and dis
tinct delivery and graceful manner became
clearly manifest. Her lecture was full Of

dry facts of physiology md hygiene assum.
ing an entirely different aspect under her
treatment. Close attention was bestowed
during the two hours OF her lecture"
