hunting for the watch and had an ac-
curate description of 1T and asked
O'Neill for q look at it, stating that he
wanted a watch and might buy it him
self. Finding upon examination that it
was the watch stolen from Harrington,
the officer took the watch and O'Neill
and started for the jail On the way to

Ice Trust Does Not Affect 1t,

The formation of a local ice trust
is the latest sensation that has been
sprung upon Butte's suffering public
and the price of ice is likely to go up

Using the most modern of refrigerating
plants in the production of their COM

A Sign That Marks tho Carrying of the

The bush set up on the top OF a building un-
der construction indicates that 1t has reached
its height. that the topmost beam has been
placed in position. This old custom is more
followed In the country than it is in the city.
1t is a common thing in the country to see the
green bush rising above the gable end OF a
frame building when the ridgepole and the
roof timpers have been placed in position. or
from a cupola'or other point higher than the
rdRepoe. II there is one. The bush is set up
by the men employed on the work. perhaps
under the direction of the foreman; II marks
the accomplishment OF the initial stage in the
completion Of the building. and by constant
labor the structure has now been reared to its
full height
The bush seems a little curious at first, seen
rising not above a wooden roof hut like a
green plume set up high in the air. perhaps
on the tOpnost beam Of the ten or twelve or
twenty story steel skeleton frame Of modern
city building. hut II means lust the same thing

BLOCKING THE FIRE ENGINE
How It Ia Made to Stand Firm and Rigid
When It's Pumps Arc Going.

Tho blocks that may be seen under the
wheels OF fire engine working at FIRE would
doubtless be supposed commonly to have been
put there to hold the engine steady while it
was at work: but while these blocks might
serve to keep the engine from moving II It
was standing on street with grade enough to
make slope. their zeal pur pose is to keep the
horses from starting the engine up. The en-
gine is made steady while at work by means
OF eontrivances that are called chock blocks,
Of which there are four on each engine. two ct
tached to each axe one near each end. The
chock block frames. at.their upper end. are at
tached to the cross bars to whose outer ends
the engines springs are attached. these cross
bars being firmly oscured to the engine part.
Springs are. OF course. essential to the carry
