Tax titles in South Dakota are likely
to have a severe shock some day, says
the State Register. 1t is questionable
whether the state now has a law for the
levy of taxes which will stand in test
of tax titles. Irregularity of levies and
assessments have been so numerous
that the practice has become common
in many counties. AS soon as land be-
comes valuable in this state much pro-
perty will certainly become involved
in litigation because of the defective

The strike OF the smeiter men in
Colorado was not successful, and after
sixty days of idleness the men have
gone back to work. But il they failed
to gain their point, they gained the re-

their strike like men and not like wild
beasts. 1t was different in Idaho,
where they blew up the concentrating
works, which cost $500 900, and in other
ways behaved 70 outrageous that the
governor was forced to call out the
military force to restore order and sub
due the lawless mob.

"A COMMENTED WOMAN"
The Audience Was Thoroughly Pleased
and Amused

and Amused.
"A Contented Woman" probably the
best thing ever written by Hoyt, was
produced at the Grand last night. and
an audience that packed the house was
thoroughly pleased and amused. The
play is a satire on politics. or, rather,
women in politics. The scenes are laid
in Denver and the story relates to the
mayoralty campaign, Benton Holme,
a rich and politically ambitious man,
and his wife, Grace Holme, running for
the same office. Mrs. Holme defeats
her husband, but when she learns of
the result of the election she wishes she
hadn't, for she has enough of politics,
and is greatly relieved when she discov-
erS that because she is not of age she
is disqualified. The votes cast for her
are thrown out and her husband is
elected to the office. Belle Archer,
handsome and clever, plays the part
of Mrs. Holme and she was received
with great favor and applause. She
has most pleasing stage presence and
dresses very beautifully. Probably the
best piece of character work is done by
Fanny Denham Rouse. as Aunt Jim, the
leader of the woman's movement and
manager of Mrs. Holmes campaign.
Charles P. Morrison as Cutting Hintz
Arthur F. Buchanan as Benton Holme,
Arthur Gregory as Uncle Tody, all have
capital parts and play them for all
there is in them.
The Notorious Mrs. Ebb Smith is done
by Miss Henrietta Lee in most delight
full way and is always sure to make a
hit. Every other part was well played
and the specialties, particularly those
by Bonnie Lottie and John L. kearney
We're good. There is no doubt that the
Grand will be packed during the time
of their engagement.

Death of BRYAN Wild.

An event which was greatly regretted
in Butte last night was the death of
Bryan Wild, youngest son of Levi S.
Wild, manager of the Western Union
telegraph office. The death occurred at
1880 o'clock last evening of spinal men
nights. The boy was taken i'll on Sun
day morning. had a high fever all day
and about 9 o'clock Sunday evening
he cried out, "Oh, mamma" after
which he went into a spasm, lost con-
seriousness and never regained it. He
would have been nine years old on
March next. The funeral will be held
at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning. MI
and Mrs. Wild are inconsolable and
they have the warmest sympathy OF q
host of friends.

CAUSE UNKNOWN.
Coroner's Inquest Into the Death of Ed
ward Knight.

The coroner's inquest into the railroad
accident in which Edward Knight was
fatally injured Tuesday evening was
completed yesterday morning. As at
the previous session. none of the wit
nesseS could tell how knight came to
fall under the wheels of the ore train
on which he was braking and the jury
being una BILE to decide, rendered a YER
dict merely reciting the facts as known.
Patrick O'Shea, the first witness call
ed yesterday, was the fireman on switch
engine No 8 of the B., A. & 2. He said
that the last time he cav Knight be-
fore the accident, was at the Mountain
Con mine The train left the Bell and
ran down to the Mountain Con. After
picking up some cars, the witness got a
signal from knight to pull out and the
train started on down the hill. That
was the last time witness saw him till
after he was hurt. When the train got
down to the yards there was no one to
uncOuple the engine and it was then
known something must have happened
and a light engine was sent back to
look for the missing brakeman.
By the time the engine reached the
switchback where the accident occurr-
ed, Knight had been removed to the
Roberts residence. Witness went there
and asked the injured man how the ac-
cident happened and he replied that he
did not know. Witness expressed the
belief that knight slipped and fell be-
tween two cars White the train was
going about six miles an hour
Ben McManus, a SWitchman, gave the
same testimony as the preceding wit
ness, and Peter Durham, the engineer,
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-01-06

and Randall Williams were called but
they could throw no light on the in
quiry. The case was given to the jury,
which found that the said Edward
Knight, brakeman in the employ of
the B., a. & P. railroad company. came
to his death on account of an accident
on the tracks near Pacific street, from
causes unknown to this jury.
