Basin, July 5.-The Fourth of July
celebration at this place yesterday was
a grand success from every point of
view. h town was gaily decorated
with bunting. flags and evergreens. and
the day was clear and perfect. Large
crowds of people came from every di-

began at the pavilion on the picnic
grounds, where several hundred people
gathered to listen to the reading of the
Declaration of Independence by Miss
Ida Brooks and the Fourth of July ora
ton by Lieutenant Governor \. T..
Spriggs. Mr.. Spriggs made an interest
ing and eloquent speech, and his patri-
otto u~tterances We're cheered to the echo
by the enthusiastic audience tina lis
tened to him. The speech was declared
by all to have been the most able and
interesting that has ever been delivered
here on any similar occasion.
The entire afternoon was taken up by
ball games, races, drilling matches and
other Xix sporting events. The baseball
game between Basin and Boulder was
won by the home team by a score of "a

han 300 dancers, who did not conclude
the festivities until $3.50 o'clock this
morning.
During the entire day and evening
the best Of order prevailed, and there
was little or no drunkenness or rowdy-
ism. All visitors expressed themselves
as being highly pleased with their treat
ment n entertainment at the hands of
the people of Basin.

The Elephant a Criminal.

Few more impressive condolences can he

scribes how he knows his elephant intends
to destroy him.. 1t is all so seemingly
trivial. and yet i'm reality of such deadly
significance. His story is so fun of de-
tails that prove the mans profound under
standing of he is talking about, that
one remains equally amazed at the brute's
power to m and its intended vic

Geological standpoint. an elephant never

the rule with the tuskers to detest their

of "A high intellectual grade than all the
stories, true or false. that have been told
of their ability. Such concentration and

been modified. One of the bright young
men on the STAFF, p%erceiving his oppor-
tunlty, wrote a series Of startling
elopement stories for the Times, giving
names, dates and streets-the names al
ways, and even the localities some
times, being fictitious. as was afterward
developed. This sensational writer
soon became the star in the Otis on
stellation and every evening he would
come TO his desk and before beginning
work would unstrap two immense us
tolls and lay them before him.
What's the meaning of this arsenal.
STRIP Otis would sternly demand.
though secretly delighted.
That last story-people hot after
me-must protect myself" the taking
reporter would explain.
Then the griZzled editor would go into
his own room, lock the door and pound
his desk with glee.
a few years ago Otis paper, the
Times, had a strong competitor in the
now defunct Tribune, conducted by one
II. II. Boyce, who last year acquired
unpleasant prominence in connection
with the Ohio senatorial election. Otis
made individual war upon Boyce. and
Boyce attacked Otis personally-in
print. But to show the public what
bad men and fire-eaters they were, each
walked Tally from his office to his resi-
dence with a rifle over his shoulder
and a knife n a pistol in his belt.
One day, thus armed to the teeth, the
two bloody editors met on Spring street.
Anticipating fearful carnage, the by
ISLANDERS speedily got under cover. But
no blood was shed. With heads erect,
the two journalists passed-shoulder
to shoulder. But neither saw the
other!

PAID A FLYING VISIT
Congressman Hartman Here for
q Few Hours Yesterday.
GOES TO HELENA MONDAY
To Attend the Meetings of the State Po-
litical Parties In That City-He Is
Paired. but Expects Congress
to Adjourn Soon.

Congressman Charles S.. Hartman
He had been in Butte since delivering
his address there July 4 and concluded
to run over to the Copper City before
returning to his home in Bozeman. He
arrived in this city during the forenoon
n went back to Butte at ) o'clock in
the afternoon.
Although he was here only such a
short time, he met several of his old
time friends. He is looking we'll and
has entirely from the severe
attack of pneumonia from which he suf-
fered last March In Washington. He
said, however, that he was glad to get
back to Montana for the summer, as it
had been very hot and uncomfortable
in Washington. He expects to stay in
Montana now until fall.
When he left the capital. Mr.. Hart
man said congress was doing nothing
but cleaning up conference reports. 1t
was the understanding among the MEM
bers that no new legislation would be
introduced during the rest of the pres
ent session. The general impression was
that congress would adjourn as soon as
the senate disposed of the Hawaiian an
~nexation bill. A large majority of the
representatives have taken n
of the present conditions to pair and go
home. A member, a few days ago, out
of a spirit of pure mischief, demanded
a quorum. A call of the house only
brought a esponse from some so con-
gressmen. MIR. Hartman himself is
paired with Congressman Snofer of
Michigan. 1t is unnecessary to add that
the Michigan gentleman is d strong gold
republican.
Mr.. Hartman said he was going to
Helena Monday to attend the meetings
of the different state political commit
tees. On that date in Helena the demo-
cratic, silver republican and populist
state committees all meet separately for
thep purpose of discussing the situation
of affairs. After these meetings Mr..
Hartman will return to Bozeman and
about July IL or 13 will go into the
and camp for two or three
weeks. He viii then return to Bozeman
and look after his law practice. He ex-
poets to pay Anaconda another visit in
a few weeks.

His Trousers Were Eaten.

In the tropics the clothing worn Is OF
very light material. usually light duck or
linen, says n correspondent of the New
York Tribune, and knocking about on the
decks of the boats these suits soon be-
come torn and badly soiled.
On the chase after Schley's fleet, when
we went to Santiago, one very fastidious
correspondent had the bad fortune to have
all his clothing washed overheard except
ing the suit he was wearing. The trousers
of this suit had become badly soiled. and
he determined TO wash them. Not know
ing the technicalities of the laundry, he
gave them a thorough soaking. and tying
them to a strong cord, threw them over
the stem OF the boat, hoping that during
the night old ocean would finish the
washing.
The next morning when tho trousers
were hauled in TO dry they were torn to
shreds. The sharks had been nibbling at
them. The young man went into port at
Cape Hayden two days later wearing
summer underwear instead OF white duck.
He was a hero with the natives. They
mistook his undergarments for tights and
believed him TO be a famous acrobat.

fer. who married the divorced wife of
Joel j. Hurt, the wealthy Wyoming cat
tie rancher, drew a pistol on Hurt this
afternoon and was locked up On a charge

But Their BelIigerence Was More Spec
tacular Than Real.

From the San Francisco News Letter.
No appointment within the gift of the
president could have been more to the
liking of Harrison Gray Otis than the
commission of brigadier general-unless
II were that of major general. The Los
Angeles editor, who has been given the
principal military plum in California,
has always conducted his own office on
strictly military lines and the idea of
commanding an armed force is pecu-
liarly attractive TO the snorting nostrils
of the old journalist. Colonel Otis. as
he then was, started the Los Angeles
Times as a very sensational yellow
journal, although this policy has since

A Lady Writes to Find Out Something
About Patrick Kerr,

ceived a rather remarkable communica-
ton yesterday. 1t was dated at Elgin,
Ill, Dec. 26, 1897, and appears to have
been delayed some months in transmits
sion. The communication is as follows:
Dear Sir: Please let me know who
got Patrick Kerr's property. He lived in
Blackfoot City and died there. He died
without a will. Please let me know
who claimed it. He died is or IL years
ago. Oblige
MRS. BRIDGET SMITH"
( Mr.. Martin would be very pleased to
Goblige Mrs. Bridget Smith, but can
find no record of Mr.. Kerr and the first
intimation that he had ever lived and
subsequently died came to Mr.. Martin
in the above letter. 1t is possible that
some of the old-timers in Deer Lodge
county can give the desired Informal
stion.

Held In nv bandits.

Southern train was held up at Stony
Creek, five miles south of Rico, at 11:10
this morning by three men, supposed to
be Mexicans. The train had stopped for
water when the holdups appeared. The
train crew was placed under guard after
which two robbers went through the cars,
relieving the passengers of about $500.
They were evidently amateurs, and got
but a small part of the money on the
train. The express and mail cars were
unmolested.
