why the Lake Level Il. Low.

CLEVELAND. O., Oct 19-Iu explana-
tion of the low water in Lake Erie, which
is proving dangerous impediment to
navigation, Major Overman. United
States engineer, states that it need cause
no alarm, as it is the result of light pre-
cipitation in the great northwest. Lake
Superior drains all that territory, and is
the main feeder of the inland lake system.
The level of Lake Superior is lower, and
as natural result the levels of other
lakes fall also. Plenty of snow and wet
spring will restore the level at once. Lake
Erie is now nine-tenths of foot bellows i;s
normal level. All the great lakes ara
low, but it has happened before.

they divided their stolen booty. Just as
they were emerging from the woods about

consisting of constables and q number Of
citizens of Dunmore. They were told to
throw up their hand and surrender. They

Miss Cholwell.
Well Aimed, Miss Clementine.
The bullet whistled past her head. She
returned the fire, this time hitting her
man. He stumbled and fell, exclaiming:

the neighborhood was aroused and a posse
started in pursuit of the burglars. Drops
of blood marked their course, but at the
fair grounds all traces were lost. On re.
turning to the house the officers found
that the telephone wire had been cut, the

He proved too strong, though, and
broke away, making the street, the teller

An Overflow of Tar Causes Big Smoke but
Little Fire.
Two daylight fires yesterday from the
same cause suggest the necessity of an
ordinance requiring competent men to be
placed in charge of tar boiling machines
scattered about town. At 1:3O o'clock yes
terday afternoon an alarm was turned in
from the Fourth ward. The big cloud of
black smoke that followed brought a crowd
of q thousand or more people to the old
placer ground between tho Montana Cen
trail depot and the building of T. c. Power
d Co. The fire war in II small frame shack
belonging to the Helena Concrete Co. A
new man WAS experimenting the boiling of
a tank of tar. The tar overlooked and
caught the fire and the blaze which fol-
lowed quickly destroyed the small building
along with two barrels of tar and a barrel
of pitch. The loss was about $500 and
there was no insurance. Another building
for the same purpose will be Immediately
erected on the same ground.
At six O'Clock in the evening the crowd
was again attracted by another big rise of
black smoke near the city hall. This came
from Il similar cause. A. e. Ahle's tar car
was in front Of the building boiling tar for
a coating over the city hall roof. The
blaze was quickly extinGuished. The only
damage was the scorching of a telegraph
pole and the destruction of some tar.
