THEY ARE VERY GREEN
But The NV Fire Horses Show Up
Pretty Well.
HAY is GOOD ENOUGH
Fresh From the Country They Are
Being Watched 20 That They
May Not Get into Too
Fast Company.

BUTTE, Feb. 15.--The four new horses
for the fire department got in to-day, COM
ing overland from Dillon. The horses
look strong and able and the judgment of
those who have seen them is that they
will fill the bill. They have a kind of
country air about them yet, but, of course,
that will wear off in time as they get used
to the city's ways. Unless they get into
too fast company, as is the case with
many invoices from the country, they will
get along all right, even in Butte. The
horses were never shod, as to their hind
feet, before but there are so many slip
perry places in Butte that they will find
shoes on their hind feet necessary. They
never ate anything other than hay until
they reached Butte, but they are now
made to eat grain. They still prefer hay
almost enough to warrant Alderman Bow
mans fear that they may catch hay fever.
1t is necessary for fire horses to he grain
fed and the horses are being made accus-
toned to high living rapidly as possible.
The two new bays were out exercising
this morning and showed up well, driven
by Ernest Thompson. They have been
named Burt and Rube. If they show suf-
ficent intelligence to be readily trained to
answer the fire bell and jump into harness
they will prove worthy successors of the
horses that met their death at the eX-
plosion. The two grays have been put to
work on the streets for the present. 1t is
the intention to train the bays for a time
and then the grays for time and let
both gradually become accustomed to
their work and understand what is ex-
pected of them at the first stroke of the
fire bell.
In order that the city may not have to
get along with four green horses at once
in the fire department, the old fire team
IN af,A aga a for hf, hos nd
will continue to be used until both the
new teams become accustomed to their
work. This old team is thoroughly
trained in fire work but had been sup
planted by the two teams IN use at the
time of the explosion. The city retained
their ownership and kept them at work
on the street. which is fortunate, the
horses, although little old for such ac-
tive work, are immeasurably better than
horses not trained for fire work.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The postoffice
department has issued n fraud order
against the Hermetic Brotherhood, Circle
of Isis, of Chicago, for violating the postal
regulations. The establishment sent let
tiers TO persons asking 81 for a disc which
would bring health, wealth and happiness
Upon receipt of the money a circular
card covered with chamois skin was sent
with instructions for use, which were that
the discs should be placed upon the neck
of the wearer and a wild weird incanta-
ton gone through at night and another
performance of a similar character held
in the morning.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-R. G.. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly ReUiet0 Of Trade, which issues to-
morrow, will say: Another week of ex-
ports of gold and Withdrawals from the
treasury have been almost entirely
stopped by the contract for the purchase
of gold from Messrs. Belmont & Morgan.
For the moment business only waits to
know whether the sales of American Sc
curities and the Withdrawals of gold from
the treasury have been las tingly stopped
by the remarkable increase of confidence.
The two obstacles which block the path
just now are the exceeding cheapness of
farm products and the restricted opera
ton in the industries. The sales of steel
rails were only $50 tons in January and
the weather has arrested structural work
and retarded the deliveries of all kinds.
But there appears a better inquiry for
some of the finished products; especially
IN wire rods, nails and barbed wire busi-
ness is encouraging. Pig iron is I'M
changed in price here and at the west,
though northern sales are pressed and
the demand for bar iron is about the
same. Lake copper is quoted at 1915.
Continued dizziness is reported in cottons
and a reduction of prices by the Amos
main the works are we'll employed, but
with extremely scanty profits, and there
is considerable doubt whether the market
will be found for the accommodating stocks
of such goods. Trade in woolens is by no
means satisfactory, though fairly large
volume in medium and low grade prices
have been generally reduced and COMPETE
ton, with cheap foreign goods, is felt
somewhat more. Fine fieeces are not
stronger and the sales of Ohio are quoted
at 1917. The failures for the week were
27O, against 1923 last year.
New YORK, Feb. 15.-Brddstreet's to-
morrow will say: Milder and pleasanter
weather, following the severe storms and
extremely cold temperature, have, with
few exceptions, failed to stimulate orders
for seasonable goods or the distributive
movement generally. The returns from
1873 American and Mexican railway COM
panies, covering 102, 900 miles of track, and
$50, i65 900 of gross earnings in January,
show a falling off of three-tenths of one
per cent. from January of last year, in
which month there was n decrease of IL
per cent. from the total in January, 1893.
The decrease in the January earnings
of the railroads in the United States alone
is clio of per cent. The prices on the
whole have maintained position of rela-
tive steadness, the eastern manufacture
ers of shoes asking higher prices in view
of the late advance in leather. Copper and
raw sugar and lard are lower. The only
noteworthy gains of the volume of sales
of staple merchandise at the large eastern
centers have been dry goods, aside from
cottons, foreign dress woolens being most
popular. Seven New England shoe manu-
featuring centers report $1,000 cases
shipped this week against 1900 in the
week a year ago.

The Insurance Agents Are Having a
Great Time of 1t.
BUTTE, Feb. 15.-The underwriters of
Butte, comprising IL agencies, have de-
termined to oppose the order issued by
the new board of Pacific Coast Under
writer's with the object that the agents of
the compact members should boycott the
SIX companies that refuse to enter the
new union. The Butte agents, including
both the representatives of the compact
and non-compact members, held n meet
ing to-day and. after discussing the boy
colt order, decided that they would not be
governed by il and a committee was APP
pointed to draft letter to tho general
agents at San Francisco embodyIng the
view of the local agents. The action of
the latter, il maintained, will prove pro-
lection to the people of Butte, and espe-
cially to the merchants who carry heavy
insurance, the importance of which is be-
yond estimate.
The non-intercourse, or non-concurrent
clause of the new boards constitution is
manifestly an outrage on the insured, as
II provides that no company which is a
member of the board, shall wri,e business
with n non-unlon company or remain
upon the same risk with an outsider. This
means that III cases where union COM
panies have now insurance Oh certain
property, also holding a policy or policies
with "A non-union company, tho former
must at once give notice of withdrawal
unless the policies of the non-unions are
forthwith Cancelled. This, il was hoped
by the board companies, would result in
n wholesale cancellation of the paper of
the non-union companies, or compel the
property owner to give all his insurance
to the latter, which latter course the
board people believe to be impossible
with large property holders for the al
legged reason that the outside companies
could not carry very heavy lines.
The local agents look AT this plan as a
double edged affair and one that would
cut both ways, because there are cases
where the non-board companies have I'M
derwritten policies Tor $4,000 on Butte
property and a board company has but
5000 on tho same property. The agent
of the latter company has no reason to
Imagine that the property owner would
cancel the $4,000 IN preference TO the
5000. But for the decided stand taken
on the question by the local agents some
of the insured would unquestionable be
left in n bad fix, because If the orders of
the new board were obeyed and a mer-
chant with $4,000 stock of goods should
take $4,000 insurance in non-board
company no board company would take
the balance of the risk. aud he would DO
compelled to carry $4,000 insurance him
self or cancel his non-board policy.
The local agents have given II out that
If the non-intercourse order is insisted on
they will cease writing insurance, and il
Is therefore more than probable that no
trouble will result

CLAY WANTS A CHANGE
Pugh Thinks Silver Bow Wouldn't Give
Him a Fair Show.
HIS FRIENDS SAY SO TOO
Affidavits Showing That the SentI-
ment In Butte Runs Strongly
Against the Accused-Opln-
Ions OF the Prosecution.

BUTTE, Feb. 15.-The motion for a
change of venue for Clay Pugh. charged
with the murder of Chauncey West, will
come up for hearing before Judge Speer
tomorrow morning. A number of affi-
davits were filed to-day in support of the
motion and going to show that Pugh
in Silver Bow county.
c. j. Stevenson made one of the affida-
Wits and in it he said he was acquainted
with a majority of the taxpayers and
voters in the county and that he had dis
cussed the Pugh case with many of them.
He heard not less than 60 persons discuss
the merits of the case and express them
selves prejudicial to and against the de-
PENDANT, saying that they believed HIM
guilty of the crime which he is charged
with.
Mr.. Stevenson said he believed, and
was convinced, that Pugh could not have
a fair and impartial trial in this county.
A similar affidavit was made by IF. II.
Cole. an editor" who says he heard not
less than 10 persons express the belief
that Pugh was guilty.
E. L. Dunkel heard not less than 20; j.
II. Hall heard 30; Mark Smell heard 20;
Simon Hauswirth heard 30, and Evan
jackson, an attorney, heard an equal
number express themselves prejudiciai to
the defendant.

many attorneys have expressed them
selves of the opinion that the prosecution
should consent to n change of venue in
order to secure more certain justice for
the state. That the defendant should ask
for change from Butte is matter of
