A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Alone in the Woods With n Wounded
Leg and a Cut windpipe.

Louis n. Chauvin, brother of John
hauvi OF Butte. was taken to s..
James hospital yesterday suffering from
the effects of a terrible experience he
had recently in Missoula county while
representing some mining property.
Mr.. Chsuvin went to American gulch
TO represent the North Pacific Placer
Mining company's claims, II miles from
Quartz. on his way out he stopped
with the Donnelly brothers at Quartz
and left there with only enough pro-
visions to last him yer the range and
back. The trail was almost impossible
and he had to chop mis- way. When
within a short distance of his destina-
tion he had the misfortune 10 cut his
left leg with his axe very seriously. He
managed to reach the cabin. and tear
ing up his shirt. bound up the wound as
best he could, but he had lost 40 much
blood that he tainted away as soon as
he had finished applying the ~improvised
bandage. In falling he struck on the
sharp edge of a tomato cam, cutting a
bad cash in his windpipe.
When Chauvin recovered conscious
ness he was so weak he could scarcely
help himself. and lay till the next day
in the cabin with nothing to eat. He
finally discovered some beans that had
been left in the cabin and, crawling
about, succeeded in cooking them. This
was all he had to eat till the third day
he tainted repeatedly till he began
to think he would die before assistance
arrived. on the third day he was "a lit
tie better, and remembering he had a
hook and line in his pocket. crawled to
a creek near by and had the good for
tune TO catch three trout which he
cooked and had just finished. which ne
says was the best meal ne ever tasted,
when the Donnelly brothers. who had
begun to be worried about his long alb
sence and started to find him, put
in an appearance. lie was taken 10 the
nearest railroad station and sent to
Butte. He received the necessary med
ical and surgical attention at the hospi-
tai and last evening was much better.

GREAT FALLS OPERA HOUSE.
1t May Go Into John Maguire's Hands
Again.

1t May Go Into John Maruire's Hands
Again.
Charles p. Craig, a capitalist from
Duluth and one of the owners of the
Duluth Evening Herald, was in Butte
yesterday. Mr.. Craig came to Montana
in the interest of his clients, the owners
of the Great Falls opera house, under
a mortgage foreclosure. Mr.. Craig
stated that his clients had been induced
to buy the opera house bonds under a
Misrepresentation, and It has been a
losing investment for them, as II has
cost them $500 a year to pay the taxes
and the expenses of the house, without
getting any returns from the property.
The only time since they came into pos
session of the property that they did
not have to put up for the running ex-
penses was during the year hat John
Mcguire was manager OF the house.
The owners want to get rid OF the
property and Mr.. Craig has been au-
thorized to sell II, lease IL to a RESPONSE
BILE party, or convert the building into
a store, hotel or lodging house. He
came to Butte to see Mr.. Mcguire re-
garding the house, and it is very like
ly If il is to be maintained as an
opera house that he will be given a
lease on it again.

THERE ARE OTHERS,
Utah Volunteers Had a Rough Trip TO the
Philippines.


The friends of the Montana bovs
who went to Manila and suffered from
lack OF food and accommodations. may
be able t. extract some comfort from
the knowledge that Others Jared no
better n some worse than did the
soldiers from his state. One Of the
volunteers in the Utah regiment. which
preceded The Montana regiment TO the
Philippines, writes as follows 10 the
Herald from Manila:
There seems to be no excuse for tho
shameful neglect with which the gov
eminent treats those whom sha calls

OF a very inferior quality and az in
sufficient quantity. A pint OF black
uns~eetened cofee and a small piece
or pork was IN" usual meal. while a
luxurious feast consisted Of one bis
cult. a slice OF bread and a pin Of rice.

seeing "a band Of Italians working near
Saltair. At supper time they gathered
around 2 fire, u up some ainted
meat and some odd bits Of indigestibIe
rubbish. and placed the mixture over
h fire on an improVised pan. As
they had no knives nor forks. each
man reached in his hands ard took
a d~ouble-haudful Of the stuff for his
meal. ] thought then that this was
the lowest conditions hat mankind
could exist Tn, but IL compares favor
ably with the condition OF an enlisted
man in The service Of the United
States. Why IL should be thus the
men cannot see, but still they submit
to the treatment with the thought.

Especial to The Heraldo

Payson, July 19.-One of the saddest
accidents ever recorded in this part of
the state occurred this afternoon near
here.
Four young ladies were drowned in
/ Utah lake, only a short distance from
the shore, and a vigorous search. prose
cuted by scores OF men, has failed, so
far. TO reveal the bodies.
Three of the girls We're sisters and
the fourth was their guest. It was a
holiday for them, and they went to the
lake for its enjoyment.
There We're Lucy Kell, aged 20, En-
ma, her sister, aged II, Susie, another
sister, aged 10, and Emma Bauer, their
friend, aged IS. Miss Bauer was from
Homansville, Tintic.
They all went to the lake this morn
ing with Mr.. John Keel and his son,
Edward, the mother being unable to
accompany them.
1t was Edward who brought the first
news to town. He said that the girls
were out a short distance from the
shore floating on plank; one fell off,
and the others, in trying to rescue her,
were dragged down by each other and
drowned almost before Mr.. Keel knew
what was happening
At this time the man and boy were
some distance away, at the wagon,
when a small boy. who happened along,
shouted to Mr.. Keel that the girls were
drowning.
He started to their aid but too late
He was near enough to W ess the ira
gedy, but not able to T n them in
time.
Edward was dispatched for assist
ance, while Mr.. Keel remained. trying
to recover the bodies. In this fruitless
labor he was Joined later by hundreds
OF excited men as the news spread
The scene of the accident is near Lee
barron's old place, about eight miles
from town.
Mrs. Keel, the mother of the three
girls, is Frustrated, and the entire COM
munity has received a severe shock
All afternoon the search has been
vigorously prosecuted, and will be con-
tinued through the night as far as
practicable.
Wagons are taking supplies to the
rescue parties. Every effort is being
made. Giant powder may be used in
the morning to float the bodies if they
are not found tonight.
Seines and drag hooks. boats and
divers will be employed in the mean
time.
Groups and clusters of excited people
throng the streets of PaysOn. waiting
for some tidings from the searchers.
AS the word is passed along, wagon
loads of men and women from other
settlements are coming. The greatest
interest in everything done is shown,
and the sympathy of the people is be-
ing shown for the parents of the unfOr-
tunate girls in many ways

Santiago de cuba, July 1S.-The Red
Cross society's steamer State of Texas
arrived yesterday at o'clock in the
evening, and this morning at daybreak
Dr. Elwell, who was in charge of the
work of unloading. secured eight stores
in the heart of the city and one large
shed on the dock, engaged so stevedores
and began TO unload the steamer about
o'clock. She had 1,4G0 tons of pro-
visions on board
The distribution began at o'clock,
allowing pound and a half of rations
10 each citizen. When the unloading
began crowds of half starved citizens
rushed to the dock, fighting, trampling
one another under foot, breaking open
the cases and stealing the supplies.
Finally a picket of troops was placed
on the wharf, refusing admittance TO
any one. The entire cargo had been
landed before the distribution began.
Each applicant was furnished with a
ration ticket, supplied by the local
commissioners, with General McKib-
bins endorsement.
The water supply OF the city, which
was cut off on July 8 above Ell Caney
by General Garcia's troops, leaving the
town without water. will be turned on
again tonight. The ice factory resumed
work today, using the rainwater sup
ply in the cisterns
All the liquor stores. wholesale and
retail, are closed, under General Shef-
ter's orders. but the Spanish soldiers
have a large stock of rum on hand,
which they are exchanging for our
bareback and corned beef.
Last night the city was 'yery quiet,
and there were no disturbances, the
distribution Of the supplies from the
State Of Texas being anxiously awaited.
as there was literally nothing in the
city to eat
Before the refugees left for FL Caney
flour was selling al $3.50 per barrel,
beans at $50 per hundred pounds. con-
densed milk at s. q tin and hardtack at
81 per piece. At FL Caney the prices
were stiil higher. S25 for a tin of con-
densed milk, and s. for piece of hard
tack. The ruin and want in the city
are almost inconceivable.
Twenty-Five Cubans. political prison.

DISTRESS OF REFUGEES.
Starving and Emaciated Inhabitants
Struggling Back TO Santiago.

Headquarters of General Wheeler, Be
fore Santiago, July 1.-THE refugees at El
Caney received today General Shafter' S
permission to return to Santiago. The
! ignorant OF the conditions prevailing al
Santiago, discussed the ACCESSIBILITY OF
returning and whether they would ina
| food there. They asked themselves, too,
whether. as Cubans. they would be safe
from maltreatmeEt at the hands OF the
defeated Spaniards.
BY O'Clock in the morning the most
VentureSOme had started on the 1ouf-
mile walk 10 the city. and all day long a
procession of saunt women and emaclated
children was struggling forward, muncA-
ing maEgoes and begging for hard tack:
Old men, TOO weak themselves, attempted
TO assist their exhausted wives and
daughters. Two weeks of suffering in The
overcrowded and filthy town OF FL Caney
had worked sad changes in the appear
ance of the refugees.
AS the news came up the road tnat
Santiago could be actually entered; the
crowds took new heart TO push ahead.
The American soldiers stood by the road
side watching the procession. The rain
that came on early in the afternoon was
mercifully of short duration. Women OF
evident refinement and good family strug-
gled along on foot or muleback. Several
carriages came out of the city to carry
back the families OF the Spanish o1ncerS
, and people who were able to pay $50 in
gold for, a miles ride. \ small proper
ton of the refugees returned today
Others still believe that the conditions in
Santiago may be worse than at FL Caney
Reports that the streets of the city We're
clogged with dead horses and cattle, the
fear of disease from bad sanitary con-
ditions and similar conditions deter many
from going in until the Americans have
occupied Santiago ~pd the much talked
of disinfection shall have been accom-
plished in fact.
One refugee, a woman, said today that
If she had the experience of the past u
days to live over again. she would face
whatever Santiago offered in the way
of disease and Spanish retaliation rather
than the slow starvation, misery and suf-
fering prevailing at FL Caney.
There were IA deaths at FL Caney yes
terday and twice that number are ex-
pected today-all from Illness arising from
lack of food. There is no yellow fever
at Ell Caney.
