UP WENT THE ROOF.

But the Great Powder Was Not strong
Enough to Send Bean Along With 1t.
A curious accident happened yesterday on
the Scratch Gravel district about eight
miles from this city. When a charge of
giant powder blows a house in the air it u.s.
ually happens that the inmates go along
with the roof. In this case the proprietor
of the house remained beneath and came
out Of the explosion alive though badly in
jured. Emory Bean ia a we'll known plas-
terer in this city, where he has resided
about twenty years. He is 60 years old and
came over the plains to California in 1915.
Mr.. Bean has recently acquired mining in
terests in the Scratch Gravel district where
he built a small cabin. A %bricklayer named
Griffith is associated with him in the enter.
prise. Yesterday morning Mr.. Bean tried
the experiment of drying out some giant
powder by heat from a small
stove in the cabin. The experiment
has been tried before in different sections
of the country, usually with disastrous re-
suits. The powder dried in a way that sur
prised Mr.. Bean, for he suddenly found
furniture and various portions of the build
ing. The roof of the cabin was completely
torn off and the entire building was a
wreck. Both of Mr.. Beams legs were
broken n his face WAS cut. His partner
found him lying in this condition in one
corner of the room. He secured a wagon
and team and brought Mr.. Bean to the
Sisters hospital in this city at II o'clock
last evening.

A RAILWAY

An kno Woodchopper Instantly
Killed ON the Montana Central.
Passengers who reached this city last
night from Butte, on the Montana Central,
bring news that a man was instantly killed
yesterday afternoon, by the engine running
into him. The accident happened a short
distance from Elk park. The man, whose
name nobody has yet ascertained, was
walking along the track in front of the en-
CINE, his back towards the train. The en-
gineer blew the whistle fully a minute az if
warning cattle, but the man in front was
needless of its coming and never turned
around. He evidently did not hear the
noise, and the engineer found it impossible
to stop the train until too late.
The tender picked the unfortunate
fellow up and hurled him into n snow bank
where he died almost instantly. The train
was finally stopped and backed up. when
the passengers saw the body lying in the
snow. Investigation showed that the neck
had been broken. The body was lifted
aboard the train and taken back to Elk
Park, where it WAS placed in n cabin to
await the arrival of the coroner of Jeffer-
son county from Boulder, who was notified
Immediately,
The unfortunate fellow was a %woodchop-
per and about % years of age. He had no
papers or letters to lead to his identifica-
ton.

Senator Becker Was chairman Of the mile

Greenough, X. H. Howey, j. NJ. Boardman
and G. II. Stebbins, made a report to the
house ON the top floor Of the Electric
block yesterday morning. After some de-
Liberation they submitted their views in
writing to the effect that in the contest be-
tween the claimants from Silver Bow county,
Il. j. Courtenay, A.. NJ. Day, A. NJ. Des-

Monteath, the committee had examined the
certificates Of election held by the contest
ants and the contestees, and after hearing
the proofs n arguments offered on behalf
of their own men, find that they were duly
elected and have certificates issued by the
state board and are entitled to seats. The
committee further found that the others
were not elected according to law, and
that they hold no certificates Of
election as claimed by them respectively.
The report was adopted Of course. At the
morning session Witter announced = lis. %

called together again at three in the after
noon, when the serg~eant-at-arms was di-
rected to ask the secretary OF state for such

officer last winter. They were called to-

Immediately adjourned until the usual hour

A republican caucus was held on the top
floor of the Electric block yesterday after
noon between one and three. One Of the
republicans whose seat is not in dispute
said that no conclusion had been reached.
From what leaked out and the general de-
meanor of the men from Silver Bow who
were in the caucus for part Of the time it 10
thought that there was a lack OF harmony.
Later on in the day there seemed to be a
desire to have another secret session in the
evening. At about eigh. O'Clock the caucus
was given up for the day. 1t is quite prob
able that another will be held his forenoca
or some time later in the day. All of 1he
men who were in the caucus yesterday af-
ternoon were very close mouthsd about
what had been going on except n who
several b%ystanders last night in the
hall that something would be formulated
very soon.

treating with democratic members of the
house of representatives yesterday. Judge
Hedges was appointed with Senators Glib
son and Hoffman to meet Representatives
Frank, Burrows and Higgins and revise the

tee got together during the recess of the
senate. Senator Hoffman was not there,

Senator Hedges thought the words "ayes"
and noes" wherever they occurred in the
rules should be changed to yeas and
mays" The senate was proceeding to do
so in each and every case until Senator
Brown proposed that the rules should be
made to correspond with the constitution,
which used "ayes" and ''noes.'' So the
senate took back what it had done and
made the rules read that way.

To WATCH THE HELLEsPONT.-
1t is a startling story that comes
from Constantinople to the effect
that British force has seized the
Island of Mitylene, in the Mediter-
ranean, not far from the mouth of
the waterway connecting that sea
with the Black sea. This, it is
suggested, is England's reply to the
action of the Sultan in giving
Russia free exit from the Black sea,
contrary to the provisions of an ex-
listing treaty. In possession of
Mitylene and using it as a coaling
station and place of rendezvous,
England would be in fairly good
position to seal up the Hellespont.
Just as she holds Cyprus to be in
reach of the Suez canal, SO in case
of Russia's getting control at Con-
stantinople she will want to be at
Tenedas or Mitylene, in order to
dominate that part of the Mediter-
ranean.
But is the story, though present.
ed with n number of details, to be
believed? Nothing is known about
it, it seems, in London. Govern
ment officials say it may have origi-
mated in the landing Of a few blue
jackets for purposes of drill. They
know nothing, however, of the
alleged landing, and intimate that
the story is made out of the whole
cloth. The Constantinop.e dis
patch may prove to be fallacious.
but it expresses what is in every
body's mind. The Sultan has taken
a step which everybody can see may
have important consequences
