Jack Jolly Creates Considerable Trouble
in Butte.

Jack Jolly Creates Considerable Trouble
in Butte.
Jack Jolly who Is we'll known in this
city, which he left couple of months
ago, has gotten himself into trouble in
Butte. He was city marshal of Butte
about ten years ago Since that time he
has become an all-round sport. Last
Monday night he started to kill someone
in Butte, and while he did not succeed
in doing that he did succeed in bringing
to public notice the fact that gambling
places are still running in Butte He
first had an atfray in saloon III which
he slashed with big pocket knife q
man whom he chaDced to dispute with
Later he wentto the eecretgamblingroom
above the Mint saloon on Main street
and got into dispute with the dealer OF
a crap game. He opened his knife again
and attacked the dealer, whose namo is
Ed Byther. Several blows were ex-
changed and then Jolly ducked his head
and, rushing at him, s!ashed him with
his knife. The knife struck him under
the ear and inflicted long and deep
cash, extending around to the point oi
the chin, aud as JoIly'e hand dropped he
inflicted another cut in his abdomen
The blood spurted out in stream end
before the men could be separated Bytheg
tore himself away and walked into the
front room.
jolly started after him, but after TAX
ing a few steps he wheeled around anc
walked quickly down stairs by the back
stairway and cut through the saloon OF
the street. Medical assistance was hur
riedly summoned, 1t is fortunate doc
tors were near at hand and responded
quickly for had they been few minuteE
later they say the man would have blef
to death. They found that the knife, ir
addition to cutting open number O.
branches Of the big arteries completely
severed the iugular vein, from which the
blood was pouring in succession o
spurts The cut in the abdomen was no
serious, as il barely penetrated the skin
Byther will recover. jolly escaped anC

That is the Amount of Wool, in Round
Numbers. Bought in This Market.
The wool market in Great Falls is
closed and although the exact figures of
the sum total purchased in this market
can not be ascertained for day or two,
owing to the fact that about 100000
pounds from Fort Maginnis, which is on
it's way here, has not yet arrived and the
exact weight of the consignment is not
known here. However, the figures can
be stated near enough for all practical
purposes. Up to date 100000 pounds
have been shipped from the wool ware
house. There is now about 10000
pounds lying in the warehouse awaiting
orders for its consignment With the
wool on it's way from Fort Maginnis this
will make 100000 pounds additional yet
to ship from Great Falls, which will
bring the total shipments from
this station up to 5,520,CCo pounds.
Besides this wool, which was all
purchased by buyers here Or consigned
from this point, wool was purchased by
sample in this market and shipped from
Benton, Chinook, Shelby Junction, and
other points amounting in all to 474,O0O
pounds. This brings the total wool pur-
chased and consigned from this market
up to 1894 0O pounds, Or in round llg-
urea. 100000 pounds, consideraOl
over Il quarter of the entire product OF
| the state. II is safe estimate to make
| that the wool bought here averaged ii
cents 8 pound. Most of the large clips
| brought over ibis price, being sold 10
| the earlier part Of the season. The low
| est price for any clip was 912 cents and
| the highest IA cents. a few odd bags
sold at 9 cents but 9l5 is the lowest
notch reached for clip Of any size
| Figured at / centsit will be seen that the
handsome sum of 100000 was received
for wool brought into Great Falls, which
is Of course figuring that those few whc
consigned get as much for their wool as
the great majority who sold outright
| The wool growers were generally
well satished with their treatment
| Nothing could exceed the 8cc0mmo
dating activity Of Agent Pheeney il
caring for his patrons and many
JUST compliments were paid him both b
| buyers and wool growers. Stock Agent
t5earles is also entitled to great credit
Tor the work he has done all over North
ern Montana in calling the attention o.
wool growers TO the supreme advantages
Of Crest Falls as wool market, Thc
result of his work is seen in the very
large increase of the shipments over las
year, when they amounted TO little lest
than 100000 pounds.

Folding Furniture.

Here is remarkable scheme, being the entire furniture of bedroom, so built that it can be folded into one small package weighing 450 pounds. It can be set up by any one in few minutes. It contains no loose screws or intricate parts which would puzzle one to ar. range. This suit consists of 8 foot 9 inch wardrobe, 3 foot inch dressing chest, 8 foot 4 inch washstand, two cane seat chairs, 2 foot inch ottoman bed stead on casters, bedding complete, chamber service and mosquito curtains if required. The whole of this extraor- dinary suit, forming the entire furni- ture of comfortable bedroom, folds in- to itself, forming one package 6 feet by 3 feet 6 inches, by 2 feet l inch, weight about 4bo pounds. No packing case is required.
 The scheme is the work of an English manufacturer, and for that large class of peoplewho are on the constant move, like gypsies, summer tourists or fiat dwellers, the idea is food for reflection. -Upholsterer.

MEERSCHAUM.
How It Is Mined and Dried and Prepared For Market,

How It Is Mined and Dried and Prepared
 For Market.
 Meerschaum is extracted in the same way as coal. Pits from 25 feet to 125 feet deep are dug, and as soon as the vein is struck horizontal galleries. sometimes of considerable length, are made, but more than two galleries are seldom to be found in one pit. The stone as extracted is called "ham tash" Trough block) and is soft enough to be easily cut with a knife. It is white, with yellowish tint, and is covered with a red clayey soil of about one inch thick. In this state the blocks are pur chased by dealers on the spot, not by weight nor by measurement, but &C., cording to approximate quantity, either per load of three sacks or per cartload, the price varying from 90 to f30 per load, according to quality. These rough blocks are dried and subjected to cer- tain preparation before being conveyed to Eski-Shehir. Some of them are as small as a walnut, while others attain combine regularity of surface and size are the best. The manipulation required before they are ready for exportation is long and costly. The clayey soil attach ed is removed and the meerschaum dried. In summer exposure for five or six days to the suns rays suffices, but in winter room heated to the required temperature is required, and the dry ing process takes eight or ten days. When we'll dried the blocks are we'll cleaned and polished. Then they are sorted into about 12 classes, each class being packed with great care in sepa- rate cases and each block being wrapped in cotton wool ol-Khgineering and Min tug Journal
