WRECKS an Engine in the Parrot Smelter-
Close Call.
BUTTE, July 1S.-lSpeoial. Twelve III en-
never had n closer call for their lives than
did the twelve men who were employed in
the engine room of the Parrot smelter this
afternoon. 1t was during the terrific cleo
trio storm about three o'clock this after
noon. There was a binding flash of light.
for seconds that seemed hours, accompanied
by II terrible roar of thunder. Then it was
the blacklist darkness, and tho room seemed
filled with a sulphurous smoke. 1t seemed
to the startled mon who were working
about the big engines that it was fully n
quarter of minute after the flash before
it's result became apparent. Then
huge masses of iron began to
fly OFF of tho great fly wheel
of one of tho engines, and were hurled with
terrific force about the room. Amid the
sound of crashing timhers, spllutering
glass; and cries OF awestricken men the
workmeu started to escape from the room
None of them could ufterward tell how they
did it, but all succeeded i'll getting out of
the room, other by jumping through win
dows or reaching doors. 1t was expected
that mangled forms would be found in
plenty, but when the workmen of tho en-
ii o smelter, who ran to the scene, searched
the engine house it was found that no one
had been struck by the flying pieces of
iron.
The engine was Il complete wreck. 1t WAS
of seventy .ive-hors power and cost $4,000.
Above the engine was n rent i'll the roof of
the engine house. 1t is supposed that the
lightning either entered by this rent and
struck the fly wheel, or entered by the win
dow. struck the wheel and then escaped by
the roof. John Page was on tho roof doing
carpenter work not far from the hole made
by the lightning. He WAS knocked sense
less, but recovered all right. David Page

THE GARDEN CITY.


Raid on Crooks and Vngs-Building and
Business.
M1ssoULA, July 18.-[Special. THE large
number of burglares and petty thofts that
have occurred during the week made it
quite evident that gang of crooks were
working the town. This caused general
feeling of uneasiness among householders.
The officers were instructed to use extra
vigilance, the result of which is that q
large namber of hard cases are now lam
gushing in the city bastile. 1t is thought
that the evidence against one or two is suf-
ficient to send them over the road to Deer
Lodge.
In real estate circles several small trans
actions have been made, but no large sales
are recorded. Building has been active.
The misunderstanding with the labor
unions seems to have been amicnbly settled
and the number of important building in
process Ct erection are rapidly assuming
that condition which enables the passer-by
to Judge of what their appearance will be
when completed
The walls of the Union block being built
by the Hiugin Bros. and Sheriff Houston
are now nearly finished, showing that it
will be an attractive and substantial orna-
ment to the oity. Theanew residence OF T..
l.. Bonner is locatedSon full block of
ground one-hnlf mile south of the BRIDGE
1t is All imposing and beautiful structure Of
which any city might we'll be proud.
The grounds are being laid out with
ornamental trees and shrubberv
which will in a short time make it
one of the most attractive homes in Mon
tana. The handsome residence of Judge
Knowles is now nearlv ready for the occu-
pancy of it's owner. From its site on a high
mesa view of a la ge portion OF the Mis-
the surrounding mountains can be obtained.
Gen. Joseph e. Marion eighteen years ngo
was sheriff of Missoula county. At that
time prisoner escaping from the jail shot
him in the shoulder, where the bullet
lodged and has since remained. Recently
it has given the general great deal of
trouble and he will shortly go east to have
it extracted. 1t may be of interest to state
that no trace of the escaped prisoner was
ever found.
