WAS BADLY BURNED
ST Hart, a Young Hackman, Cour
ageously Fights a Fire

A young hackman named 81 Hart, who
has his stand on Spring street near Sec
ond, came very near losing his life early
yesterday morning by the explosion of
lamp in his room. AS it is, he was
badly burned.
Hart after putting up his team and
hack yesterday morning at 4 o'clock,
went home to the Alpha lodging house,
corner of Los Angeles and Third streets,
where he rooms, and retired to bed. Af-
ter reading for some time he proceeded
to turn out the light when the lamp ex-
ploded. At once the whole room was
in blaze. The young man did not lose
his presence of mind, but courageously
started to battle single handed with
the fire. He succeeded in putting it out
unaided, not, however, until all the bed
clothes and his own wearing apparel
were destroyed and he had himself re-
ceived some severe burns on the hands
and the right side of the face. MOI

BURGLARS CAUGHT
With the Proceeds of Santa Barbara
"Job" Upon Them

On December 81 the E. E. Packard
hardware store at Santa Barbara was
burglarized and revolvers, 121 pocket
knives and 2S razors were stolen out
of it. There was no trace of the burg
lars and the sheriff of Santa Barbara
advised Chief of Police Glass of the
matter. Detectives Bradish and Steele
were put on the case and have lately re-
covered a small part of the plunder
where it had been disposed of in the
city by some men whose description they
obtained.
Yesterday afternoon the detectives
managed to run down four young fell
lows whom they were looking for in con-
nection with the stolen guns and cutlery
and managed to nab all of them. At the
same time they recovered nearly all of
the balance Of the property. The men
gave the names of Joe Schoder, Ed
Welsh, Frank Douglas and Anthony
Lott, the last named having the ap-
pearance of Kanaka. 1t is believed by
the police that these names are aliases
One of the men had loaded revolver in
his pocket, which was not one of those
taken at the Packard burglary.
The fellows were locked up in the city
jail and the sheriff of Santa Barbara
advised by wire of the capture. He will
be here today by the first train to take
the prisoners up.

The complainants stated that the man
represented that he was a police officer
when he entered the place and searched
through the stock, making himself gen.
orally obnoxious. 1t was stated by the
chief that the man referred to could not
be officer John Mcclure, as that officer
was watching in another part Of the city
at the time. The chief will investigate
the matter.
An effort was made to have the COM
mission reconsider it's action of a week
ago, when the license of the saloon at
First and Los Angeles streets was re-
voked. F. Conrad, one of the partners
in the business, appeared and stated
that he did not know that such a disor-

had paid no attention to the business.
He promised if the license was Ieis-
sued to give the saloon his personal at
tention. The commission refused to act
in the matter.

The Butte-Boise Railroad.
.om nntta "a MInIng ODD naIInay Revlew.

From Rutte city Mining and Railway Review
The project OF building a rail
road from Butte westward, known !
as the old Butte Boise railroad, has
been revived. This time there
seems to be some reason for the
success Of the enterprise. 1t is
known that several surveying par
ties are now in the field, but it is
not known in whose interest they
are working.
There is no enterprise that we
know OF that at once so commends
itself to the attention of capital.
The editor Of the Review has Just
made trip through western Idaho
and IS able TO say from a personal
knowledge that this road would be
one that would do more for Mon
tana than the completion Of any
other enterprise.
1t would seem that there is a
combination of causes that are
forming forward the building Of
this line. In the first place the B.,
A. " z. runs west from Butte u
miles Of the distance to Anaconda.
1t is known that the company will
lay II miles of track west of Ana
conda that will take the end of the
track to Silver Lake. From Silver
Lake it is not over 40 miles distant
to q point through the Bitter Root
valley. 1t can not be questioned
but that the company expects soon
to build that far. From this point
in the Bitter Root valley it is not
more than $50 miles southwest to
an intersection of the Oregon Short
Line and also the contemplated Or
egon Pacific. In going west the
route would be to some point on
Clear Water or Horse Greek and
then to some point adjacent to the
! Seven Devils country. From there
they would be able to go almost
anywhere they wished. They would
unquestionably run to Boise City,
the capital Of Idaho, from which
place they could continue on south
west towards San Francisco. The
construction of line of road any
where near those indicated would
prove, not alone to the country
through which it passed, great
boon, but it would develop a very
great amount of local business.
There is no part Of the country that
Is capable OF supplying 50 great an
amount of produce as the Boise
valley and the adjacent country.
1t would give Butte what it so much
needs-a point from which it could
get its produce and fresh fruits.
There are in that locality thou
sands of acres of the best fruit
lands that lay out of doors that are
only waiting for a market to be
brought under cultivation. Mon
tana would furnish market for all
that can be raised in that section
Of the country for many years to
come, and the Review hopes that
those who are now looking into this
matter will see it to their interest
to at once give instructions for work
to be crowded 50 that the Butte
Boise railroad will soon be an ac-
Complished fact.
