THE NEW AERIAL LADDER.
The Fire Department Gives An Exhibition
of its Workings.


The Fire Department Gives An Exhibitto n
of its Workings.
Fire Marshal Wilmer had the
department out yesterday evening
drilling with the new aerial truck and lad
der. The big new team ran off with
the ponderous wagon as though it were a
light buggy. Hundreds of people ran nm
town to see what was going on. The fire.
men were on the truck, which was wheeled
around to the four-story Penn block. Near
ly all the insurance men in town were pres
ent, including the general agent of the
Pacific Insurance Union. In less than three
minutes the boys hoisted the ladders to the
roof and two men were on top. The ladder
was then lowered and placed at fourth
story window. which two men climbed and
jumped in the window. The usefulness Of
the new aerial ladder was clearly
demonstrated, and its value IN
case of big hotel fires or fires
in large buildings will be great. The FIRE
men showed their ability to handle it
promptly and the insurance men were we'll
pleased with the exhibition Marshal Wit
mer says he would have had the truck out
before, but he was waiting for the council
to buy a team, not caring to injure the
blacks.
The new team of horses are great big,
healthy looking ones, capable, apparently,
of running away with the city hall build
ing. but some people think better match
as to size and looks could have been made.
But the horses are cheap at $500 and are
splendid specimens of what Montana can
raise in the horsefesh line.

THE INTER MOUNTAIN SOLD.
Report That the Couch Faction Has Pur
chased the Paper.

A Report That the Couch Faction Has Pur.
chased the Paper.
1t has been known for some time that the
Couch King Dolman wing of the republican
party in Butte has been making an effort
to purchase the Inter Mountain. It is now
reported that the sale has been concluded
and that the transfer will shortly be made.
This faction of the party is much stronger
in financial sense than the ''hopposition, -
as Bray terms it. It is therefore not sur
prising to learn that they will
leave nothing undone to secure con-
troll of the republican party in Butte.
This report is strengthened by the fact that
Col. John i. Read. the editor of the Inter
Mountain, has lately made an offer to pur-
chase the Butte Mining Journal for the pur-
pose of changing it to republican paper.
Col. Read claims to have the backing of a
syndicate in the offer. 1t is needless to say
that Col. Penrose refused the proposal. 1t
is stated upon authority that Col. Read is
dissatisfied with the situation in the Office
of the Inter Mountain. It is also said that
the new purchasers of the paper contem-
plate the erection of new building, the in
PRODUCTION of new press and other i'm
proved facilities.

The ball grounds at Anaconda have been
fenced in and are in excellent condition.
Gondolfo and Crotty will be the battery
in to-day's game, and keas will play first.
The game will be called promptly at p.
M. and there should be good attendance.
Captain Gondolfo has had his men out
practicing regularly every day for two or
three hours, and the team is in fine form.
The hackers of the Great Falls team will
be on hand to cover any bets which may be
offered. They feel that they have a strong
team which Will make the Athletics work to
win game.
The visiting team will bring crack bat
terry with them. Lindsay. who will be in
the box for the visitors, is from Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. Marsh, who will catch for
him, is also from Iowa, where he played in
the interstate league.
The Salt Lake team which will play a
series of games with the Athletics next
Saturday will arrive at Anaconda to-day
where they are to play the local team. Ar
rangements have also been made for ball
in honor of the visitors after the game.
The grounds are in good condition and
the weather, promises to be fine. The
grand stand has an excellent roof on it and
1t has good comfortable seats. The stand
presents a pleasing appearance, when its
seats are dotted here and there with bright
spots of color, which indicate the presence
of the fair sex.

it. Helena will not leave home to play and
as one of their players told one of the Liv,
ingston nine, they have got to win eyer,
game they play or the citizens of Helene
will not support them. If that is the pla1
they are working on it will be some tim,
before they again meet the Livingston
nine. Livingston has some fine ball play
ers, and by hard practice they can hole
their own with any team, barring thos'
which must win by any means.

Helena Athletics and the Great Falls
Team Will Meet for Two
Games.
Salt Lake Team Will Arrive Next
Week to Play Four
Mormons ut Anaconda To-day--Good
Games To-day and To-morrow-Tips
From the Diamond.

The interest in the national game seems
to have abated somewhat lately, but every
thing goes to show that the sport has not
lost its hold on the people. It was but a
few years ago that Helena could boast of a
good amateur nine. To-day she has team
at professional ball players who can put up
as good game as any team in the north
| west. That's pretty bold talk, but the
hackers of the home nine have that much
confidence in the club. A short time ago
Manager Barnes, of the Spokanes, was in
correspondence with Manager Muth for a
series of games between the Spokanes and
the Athletics. Mr.. Barnes seemed to be un-
der the impression that his team was made
up of world heaters, and he asked an exor-
bitant price to bring his aggregation to the
Queen City. Manager Muth made him a
good offer to the effect that if the Spokanes
would come to Helena for a series of three
games for the gate receipts, purse of
81 600 would go to the winning club. Barnes
did not accept this offer and the home team
were consequently deprived of the pleasure
of crossing bats with Barnes men. The
Athletics have not played many games this
on the diamond they have demonstrated
that they can play ball. The only team
that made any showing against them was
the Anacondas. In their game with the
Livingstone they very. clearly showed that
no ordinary amateur club stands any chance
teur team that could be got together in
Helena played a game, or rather tried 10
play one, with the Athletics but they were
completely shut out. To-day the Athletics
will meet team from Great Falls at the
Athletic park. The Great Falls team is a
,\r nod -, 80
the players have played with good mines in
the east and their battery consists of two
Iowa men who have played in the Illinois
Interstate league. There is every reason to
expect that good game of ball will be
played this afternoon and to morrow, and
game to-day will be called at 1 p. M,
promptly, This will enable good many
to get away at that hour. The grounds are
pleasantly situated and there Is always
cool breeze blowing out at the grounds.
There is commodlous grand stand which
walls and the run out to the grounds away
from the hot city for an hour or two of
pleasure is a good thing for anybody.
Next week a series of games will be PLAYED
between the Athletics and a nine from Salt
Lake. The latter team will play with the
Thursday, Friday, saturday and Monday.
A study of their game with the Anaoonda's
to-day ought to give admirers of baseball
some pointers. The Great Falls nine will
arrive at ITO p. M, with their hackers and
will be received by Manager Muth.
Gondolfo and Crotty will be the battery for
the Athletics in to- days game.
The following are the names of the play
ers of the respective teams in their batting
