They went and they conquered.

They went and they conquered.
Last night when the 1906 train ar
rived from Butte, Anaconda made a
broad standing jump and lit squarely
into a whirlpool of ecstasy. For a few
minutes the noise was deafening, yells
and screams rent the air already dis
turbed by intermittent cheers and
sounds of explosives in celebration of the
first word received from Butte that
Anaconda had won the football game.
But when the crowd and its yell arrived
from the scene of victory pandemonium
reigned.
A large crowd was in waiting at the
depot to welcome the victors. When the
train pulled into the station cheer after
cheer greeted the players and the a
of rooters. Down town the crowds
marched, the home folks taking up the
yell which the excursionists were no
longer able to give owing to hoarseness
contracted while in Butte. Strings of
10000 firecrackers Numbered out a well
come to the returning victors, huge
bombs n rockets told how Anaconda
felt about it and there was a wild rush
for first place in the race to see who
could make the loudest noise. 1t was
a grand ovation on the eve of indie
pendence day.

~rotechnics. ave made all arrange
ments for the grand display tonight. A

Several of the stores which handle
them have arranged their fireworks dis
plays in a very artistic and attractive
One dealer built a huge fort,
small packages of ~irecrackers repre-
senting the stone used in its construc-
ton. Larger crackers were placed so
as to represent cannon. Portfolios
were provided and the whole surmount-
ed by a series of flags. In another store
was a warship made OF crackers, large
and small. In every place where sold
especial pains were taken to make the
display more attractive than ever.
1t has been remarked that the citi-
gems did not take enough interest in the
forthcoming celebration in his city
and that everything seemed to lag and
point to a failure in the matter of pa
rade and general enthusiasm. But the
past three nights have changed the
opinion of those whose talk resembled
that of the pessimist. The town is
ablaze, everybody is alive TO the occa-
sion, and now it's certain that a great
mistake was made when 1t was assert
ed that Anaconda has been asleep.
Decorations this year seem to run to
evergreens. Loads and loads of fir
trees and branches have been hauled
to town and readily disposed of. Some
of the streets have been converted into
