THEY MET A FROST.
Arion Club Excursionists Did Not Like
Treatment at Spokane.

SluD III" NOI Like
Treatment at Spokane.
The Arion club of New York did not
receive the same cordial reception at
Spokane it did at Anaconda. N its
special train the excursion reached
Spokane Sunday evening, and remained
there several hours. The Spokesman
Review of Sunday says:
Richard Weinacht, who is i'll charge
of the excursion, as we'll as a nuTber
of others in the party, were loud IN
their complaints of the trsa III 1t they
had received in Spokane. They said it
had been the first unpleasantness of the
trip, and expressed regret that Spo-
kane had not been left off the itinerary.
81 feel so badly about the matter
that I hate to talk of it, said Mr.:
Weinacht We had telegraphed ahead
that we would arrive, and had matie
arrangements to take dinner at the
Spokane hotel. We expected to reach
here at 80, but our train was delayed,
and it was an hour Ia -er before we
reached the city. We disembarked
from the cars and were most unpleas-
antly surprised to find absolutely no
body to meet us. We had to ask th"
people on the streets to oir2ct us tc the
hotel. When we got TO the hotel taere
was nobody to point OUT the Ia lies
entrance, so most of the ladies went
through the general entrance Then
the crowning humiliation came We
were told that as we had not arrived
on time they had got tire 1f waiting
for us and we would have to j, TIE
waiting. We could not get into TIE
dining-room until the regular guests
were through. Think of Matchmaking
so ladies stand up in a narrow hall
waiting in line for their dinner If 1
had ever dreamed we woull be treated
this way we never would have stopped
here. Everywhere else We have been
greeted by large committees and the
people have seemed glad to make our
visit pleasant and to show us the points
# interest. Here we wandered around
in strange town with no one to point
out the sights. Well, let's try to forget

UNKNOWN MAN DROWNED
Body Found Near a Creek Twelve
Miles From Philipsburg.
IT IS NOT YET IDENTIFIED
At First Thought to Be Samuel Tenn
pleton of Anaconda, but Mr..
Templeton Is Alive and
Well.

Devoid Of clothing and with a Cath
olic scapular around his neck, an un-
known man, believed to have been q
resident of Anaconda, was found dead
Sunday noon about II miles west of
Philipsburg. The man was lying down
at the side of creek, with his clothing
near him. and the theory is that he
dropped dead just as he was about to
go in bathing. The body bore no marks
of violence, and from appearances the
man had been dead since Friday
The body was buried on Monday af-
ternoon at Phlipsburg after many eff
forts had been made to learn his iden-
tity. A large number of Philipsburg
citizens believed that he was a resident
of Anaconda and they informed Con-
stable Val Shebat, who was in that
place at the time, of their belief. Mr.
Shebat went Immediately to view the
body and was greatly surprised, for the
dead man bore striking resemblance
to Samuel Templeton, the janitor of the
Bryan school. who resides at No. 900
East Fifth street. The description of
the dead man was as follows:
Between As and so years of age: about
feet inches tall; weight about 1856
pounds; iron gray hair: red mustache
and full face, with florid complexion.
/, The mans hair was cut very short
and there was large scar on the fore
head over the nose. A vaccination
mark was on the right arm. The cloth
ing which was found near the body
consisted of gray suit and cotton un-
derwear.
Constable Val Shebat arrived in Ana
conda on Monday evening at $3.50
o'clock. Yesterday morning he went to
Samuel Templeton's residence at 900
East Fifth street to learn whether
Templeton was missing. Templeton
himself opened the door. Mr.. Shebat
does not know of anybody else in Ana
conda who answers the description of
the unknown man.
DR.. R. w. Getty, the coroner at Phil
ipsburg, is convinced that the man was
not resident of that place. Dr. Getty
believes that the man must have been
getting ready to take a bath when he
dropped dead.
Constable Shebat said yesterday:
When they told me to go and see the
man on Monday, / was greatly con-
cerned to hear that they believed him
to have been a resident of Anaconda.
When I got there l was convinced that
Samuel Templeton, the janitor of the
Bryan school, was the dead man, for
no two men ever resembled each other
so much. When l came into the city /
thought that l would be called upon to
announce the death to the family, but
Mr.. Templeton himself opened the door
for me. Up to a late hour this after
noon they had not yet learned who the
dead man was

found a 2-year-old girl wandering about
in the vicinity of West Park avenue and
