An Anxious Moment.

A number of boys of just about the aga
when boys feel the most mischievous. got a
piece Of gas pipe, filled it with sand, and
plugged it at the ends, leaving room for a
piece Of string to hang out. After this was
done the gas pipe presented a very formid-
able appearance, and that night the boys
placed it at the door of a prominent resi-
dent in their nsighborhood. All in the
house had gone to bed, and it was left un-
disturbed till morning. The lord Of the
house was the first to discover it, and after
he recovered from the shock it caused him,
he began to cautiously examine it. After
a while he went back in the yard, first
warning his wife and daughter not to
go neal the bomb" as he called it.
soon he returned, carrying the clothes
line, on one end of which he had made a
slip-noose. He advanced toward the cause
OF all the trouble and carefully slipped the
moose over 1T and drew it taut. Then tell
ing his wife and daughter to 60 down to
the corner, he retreated to the back of the
yard and, climbing over the fence, he shut
| is eyes and gave the rope q sudden jerk.
This was all the young scapegraces, who
were watching him from a distance, were
able to stand, and when the poor man, who
had suffered an awful strain on his nerves,
pulled himself up until his lose rested on
the top OF the fence that he might gee the
result of his desperate effort, an explosion
Of laughter, far louder than he expected
from the bomb, greeted him, and-there

IT'S " QUARTERS.
The Fire Brigade Purchases a Lot and
viii Build an Engine House.

From Fridays Daily.
Not many weeks ago it was predictad
that the Butte fire b~rigade-the valiant
volunteer force OF which Frank B. Themes
is the efficient chief-would not long sur.
vive the organization Of the paid depart
ment. The gruesome prophesy, it now APP
pears, is not to be fulfilled. The volunteer
boys have purchased q lot and upon it
will soon begin the erection OF a brick
building that will be large enough to meet
all their present demands and complete
enoughin all details to bear favorable COM
parison with similar headquarters in cities
Of greater population. Best OF all, the forty
members of the brigade have enough money
in the treasury OF the organization to de-
fray all immediate expenses.
The lot selected and secured is on West
Quartz street in the rear Of the Kingsbury
block-a down-hill pull toward the heart
of town and a good start to points on top
OF the hill. It is 2Ox100 feet in size, but
only half the area will b. covered by the
building. Plans have not yet been drawn
for the structure, hut they soon will be
prepared with special reference to conyeni
ence in the handling OF the three hose carts
and the 1900 feet of hose and to the COM
fort OF the ten men who will make the
house their place OF lodging. For the
present the boys will be con-
tent with a one-story brick
structure; next near a second story will be
added. giving more room for the necessities
of the service and affording plenty Of space
social entertainments that the brigade
give from time to time. The most
modern ideas will be introduced and, in
short it is intended to make the establish
ment a perfect one OF it's kind, one in which
the people OF Butte can take a just pride.

Is He a Forger?

There is more to the case OF John Sands
than the police are ready to divulee. The
man, a rough looking fellow, arrived in
Butte a few days ago and that night in
duced one of the fairies OF Galena street to
give him $50 GU a certificate of deposit for
SIS. The name of the depositor is John
Danner and the bank issuing the certificate
Is the First National OF Pocatello. Sands
endorsed the certificate John Sanner." 1t
can be shown hat Sands was not the
rightfuI owner of the collateral; and there
fore he obtained money under false pre-
lenses when he induced bis brazen female
acquaintance to advance him $50. That
he can be convicted of forgery is not so
certain because it is not known that there
is any such man as 'yJohn Sanner." How
ever he will be prosecuted vigorously when
%arraigned, and that will not be until Chief
Smith has obtained further information as
to how the prisoner came into possession
of the certificate.

DELOS.

We came to an isle of flowers
That lay in q trance OF sleep,
In a world forgotten OF ours,
Far ont on the sapphire deep.
Dwellers were none on the island,
And far as the eye could see
From the shore to the central highland
Was never a bush nor tree.
Long, long had her fields lain fallow,
And the drought had dried her rills,
But the vetch and the gourd and mallow
Ran riot on all her hills.
The length OF her shoreward level,
High bank and terrace and quay,
Were red with o scarlet revel
OF peoples down to the sea.
Each bloom pressed close on it's fellow,
The marigolds peeped between,
Till the scarlet and the yellow
Had hidden the under green.
Was it here, that heart Of a nation
That first OF the flames of old!
This garden OF ~desolation,
This ruin Of red, OF gold?
High up from the rock-cleft hollow.
RO0fe0 over OF I1Uan nauuS,
The cradle OF dead Apollo
Still looks to his silent lands.
The sacred lake lies solemn,
In a havoc OF fallen shrines;
Where the shaft of each broken column
Is tangled about with vines.
It lives in the dreams which haunt it,
This isle of the S%un-ged's birth,
It lives in the songs which vaunt it
The hottest earth on earth.
But the shrines without note or number
Lie wrecked on a barren shore,
And the dead ideals slHmber
For ever and evermore.
So spring in her pride OF pity
Had hidden the marble wrath,
And shed on the holy city
The flower and sleep OF death.

Will Give Bonds.

Frank Lewis, who shot and killed Frank
M. johnson in q Montana street lodging
house last Friday evening, will probably
be a comparatively free man again before
to-day's sun shall hide it's face in the
Western sky. After due liberation Judge
Newkirk has decided to reduce defendants
bond of SIS 5000 to 50, 50Oa and this amount
Lewis will be able to give. Guarded by an
officer he was allowed to rustic yesterday
evening and succeeded in finding several
parties who agreed to become responsible
for his appearance before the district court
and promised to be on hand this morning
to sign the necessary bonds. General
opinion ~inelines strongly to the belief that
he will be acquitted in the higher court as
he himself is the only living witness to the
shooting. Clifford, the young imam who was
in a room down stairs when the homicide
occurred, it is thought, will prove a strong
witness for the defense.

word honesty has a definite meaning. Ii
he sees a corrupt man sitting close to q

THE PROSPECTIVE VOTE
Registration in the City Small
or than the Vote Cast
Last Year.
Outlying Camps Will Probably
Poll More More Votes
Than Ever Before.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
George W. Sproule. clerk OF the probate
court, has compiled some interesting sta.
tistics relative to the vote OF last year and
the prospective vote at the election OF next
week. The figures show that the vote OF
the city will not be SO large next Tuesday
as it wa one year ago and that the outly-
ing districts will poll a much larger
vote than ever before. The city vote for
Carter and Clark, in all 4,0S3, is taken as
an indication Of the city's voting strength
last year. For the coming election only
3,915 city registrations have been made.
Ia other words, if all the registered voters
of the city cast their ballots this year, the
total vote will be smaller by 1853 than was
the total one year ago. Some of the dis
tricts outside the city proper have shown
great gains, notably Centeryille With a
gain of 394, Parrot 194, vaudeville 133,
wood camp liza, etc., etc. Some
the precincts show small losses. The
exact figures may be seen in the annexed

Paul Flamman, the ''pinkey" who was
arrested, tried and discharged on an accu.
sation OF completely in the robbery Of Noel
Jubainville, is again under arrest awaiting
the result OF inquiries into his connection
with the crime. The story OF the first ar
rest was this: Juhainville was robbed OF
$4,000. He caused the arrest OF Marie
Rigal, aGalena street outcast, and also the
arrest OF her consort, the man Flamman.
The woman was held under bonds OF

Since that time Chief Smith has satisfied
himself that Flamman was not innocent
and the police are busy hunting up new
evidence to use against him when his case
is called again.
