They were driving through town at a

the bit broke and the animal plunged
down the street at break neck pace.
Near the jail the horse turned suddenly
to one side, upsetting the wagon and
precipitating both men head first into Il

FOUND DEAD IN HIS BEDROOM
George Burris, Well Known Blacb
smith, Found Dead Wednesday at
the Ulm House.
A Nearly Emptied Morphine Bott,s
Would Indicate a Case of
Suicide,

About o'clock Wednesday Afternoon
the employees of the UIm house becams
alarmed over their failure to AROUSE
George Burris, who occupied a room IN
that hotel the night before, and, LOOKING
over the transom, discovered him lyino
on the bed in an attitude which sue.
gested something wrong. Obtaining en-.
trance to the room, they found him dead
1t appears that about 8 a. m. one of tbs
employees Of the hotel passed his doc,
and heard him snoring, as he thought
at the time, but it was probably the steu.
torious breathing which generally re.
suits from morphine poisoning.
The coroner was at once notified Of
the facts in the case and DR.. Weitmar
was soon on the scene. A bottle con-
tainlng morphine was found in his vest
pocket. 1t would hold about 60 grains
but was about half empty, aad the con,
clusion drawn from the facts surround.
ing the case as far as they could be as
certained was that the deceased had
come to his death by an overdose of Nor.
phine, taken either accidentally or with
the purpose Of committing suicide. The
morphine bottle was the main reason
for this conclusion. Dr. Weitman said
that while appearances pointed to NOR.
phine poisoning. it WAS entirely possible
that death might have been due to apo.
plexy
George Burris was very we'll known in
this city, especially among horsemen and
sporting men. lie was blacksmith by
trade and ran shop in the rear of the
Great Falls Carriage works at First ave-
nue. south, between Park drive and Sec.
ond street. Last Monday, however, he
gave bill of sale covering his tools and
small amount of stock. He was deeply
in debt, but it is hardly thought by those
who knew him best that he was the kind
of man who would let money obligations
prey on his mind to such an extent rs 10
drive him TO suicide. He had been
drinking a good deal lately and it
thought more likely that he took al
overdose of the drug when his mud was
clouded with morphine and wh,eky
without realizing what he was doing
AS far as known Burris had no relatives
in these parts. He was sirg,e mau

notice that it will equalize the rates and
make those from the Missouri river the

ANACONDA'S WATER.
The City's supply 10 Rem rkably Pure
and There Is Plenty Of

II is seldom that q stranger on his
first visit to Anaconda leaves the city
without making some complimentary
remarks about the water supply. While
other cities in the state are suffering In
this respect, Anaconda enjoys an abun-
dant supply of water that for perfect
purity cannot be surpassed anywhere
In the world.
About two miles southwest OF the city
mature provided two side walls In a
deep canyon and the hand of man did
the rest, and a reservoir capable OF
holding s,250,O00 gallons of water was
constructed by the erection of a wall
of masonry at the mouth OF the can
yon. This is tapped by 10-inch main
of welded steel tubes and 6-inch main
of Kalomern iron. The mains are so
constructed that there is no chance for
the water to become rusty or stand and
gather impurities, as IL Is kept running
in a constant current, and Is at all
times pure and drinkable.
The 6-inch main which connects with
both the large reservoir and the fiume
runs parallel with the 10-inch main for
a considerable distance. but branches
off near the outskirts OF the city and
runs to a distributing reservoir on a
hill overlooking the city. This reser-
voir has a 2l-inch brick wall covered
with cement, and is 60 by 80 feet in
size and 16 feet deep, giving 1t a capa-
feet higher than the town and so feet
| lower than the main reservoir, the re-
serve supply of water which II holds
would easily tide over any accident to
the pipe lines outside OF town. The
water from the reservoir Is conveyed
| to the town through an S-inch pipe.
The gate valves controlling the sup
| ply and discharge are so arranged that
only the surplus water flows into the
reservoir and. as mentioned above. this
is kept moving I'm a constant current
The pressure is about 100 pounds to the
square inch, which gives ample fir'
protection, II being an easy matter 4

to a height of SO feet above the highes

new mains were laid this year in Ana
conda proper and about a mile I'm thu
new addition Work In this direction
was only recently stopped on accoun
OF the cold weather.
The present source OF supply woul'
be more than ample for a city of 1000
Inhabitants. and so perfect Is the ar
rangement for handling II that any
thing like a water famine is not in tn
range of possibilities.
