SHE FIRED At CON WALSH
Mrs. Frank Fairfield Took a Shot
at Her Sisters Husband.
THE BULLET WENT WILD
Mrs. Fairfield Objected to His Conduct
in the Family Circle and Tried
to Chastise Him With
Gun.

Mrs. Frank Fairfield last evening

Colts.
The bullet went wild So did the
family circle. AS a result Mrs. Fair
field. Con Walsh and John Brown occu-
pied apartments in the city calaboose
last night.
To arrive at a proper understanding
of this thing, one must have an &C.
quaintance with the Marony family
tree. That tree doesn't appear in this
particular row, but an apprecia ton of
its various branches is essential to
thorough acquaintance with the merits
of the controversy in which a b g,
black gun played so important a
part.
Starting the family tree no further
back than this century. Mr.. and Mrs.
Marony form the trunk. They begat
two daughters, who appear as graceful
branches on the family trunk. One of
them married Con Walsh and another
married Frank Fairfield. That is
enough of the family tree for the pur-
poses of this narrative.
Last evening there was little gath
ering at the Marony residence on Alder
street, three doors above Commercial.
Mrs Fairfield was there and so was
Con Walsh John Brown strayed in
also. His exact status in the party
and in the controversy is not quite
clear but he was there anyway.
1t being warm night the pleasing
little game sometimes called chasing
the duck" otherwise rushing the Will
lie." alias rushing the growler." was
INDUCED in. For time all was happi-
ness and contentment, but presently
the game grew tiresome or perhaps it
was the warm weather. Whatever the
cause, somebody started something.
Then everybody Joined in the argu-
ment.
Then shot was fired and the neigh
bors yelled police"
Night Chief of Police O'Brien ap-
peared on the scene and gathered in
those who appeared to be most active
in the argument He secured Mrs.
Fairfield, John Brown and Con Walsh.
No gun was in sight. but when the
three were searched at the Jail a gun
was found on Brown.
Walsh declared that Mrs Fairfield
had fired the shot in an effort to chas-
tise him. None of the three gave con-
nected account of the affair. To-day
they will be taken out of Jail and ar
raigned in court

FIGHTING FOREST FIRE
Water Department Has a Force
of Men Hard at Work.
DRIVING IT FROM TIMBER
Fears Were Entertained That the Water
Shed That Supplies the City
Would Be Permanently In.
9 jured by the Blaze.
DRIVING 1T FROM TIMBER

u For seven days the fire in the noun
tains west of the city has been burning.
In that time it has swept over an area
That is roughly estimated at from 5000
to 1000 acres, chiefly government land.
+ While -he actual loss, except to the
government, is not large, it has been
feared that the destruction of the forest
would have a bad effect on the Ana
conda water supply in running the wa
ter shed. For several days past force
OF men has been at work under the di.
rection of Newton knudson, foreman of
the A. c. NJ Co.'S water department,
lighting the fire.
Eleven men are now at work on the
mountain. They have checked the
blaze in the forest and have driven it
down until it is subsisting on dry grass
in the open and IS slowly burning itself
out. Smoke is still arising from it and,
blown by the prevailing western
breezes, finds it way over the hills and
into the city. The blaze can be seen no
longer from Anaconda, as the fire is
now down in the valley.
The force of the water department
will continue to fight the fire until the
last trace Of it is gone. If it secured
another start and was aided by a ia
yorable wind, the water. shed would he
buTHeu over anu IDe regular supply OIL
water thereby greatly diminished.
How the fire started is still mystery.
Some believe small boys started il, for
the region where it first began to blaze
II frequented by boys, they going up to
battle in the waters of pond made IN
the valley by a DAM Another theory
is that campers left a fire burning and
1t spread to the timber. The theory held
by the water department is that a
farmer desiring to clear a right of way
Tor an trrigating t1ume, deliberately set
fire to the forest.
The trees in the burned area are prac-
fically all killed. although a few re-
tain some show of life 1t will be years
before the destroyed forest begins to
grow again.
So far the damage done to the water
shed is not great. Had not the fire
been checked in time it would have been
great.

New Cure for Alcoholism.

Now that the Keeley gold cure is on the way to join the Keeley motor, there is room for the new Russian remedy for alcoholism which Michael George witch Alaverdoff is introducing into England. His remedy is a secret herb found in certain parts of Russia. A deeper mystery enshrouds his recipe from the fact that 1t calls for 36 per cent of spirits of wine and 64 per cent. Of distilled water. in addition to the herb! The first thing that the patient must do is to get thoroughly drunk over night. Scotch whisky is reeom- mended fer this. When he wakes in the morning with dark-brown taste in his mouth he is given a small glass containing the panaeea, which is not noticed. After three days the patient can go his way, and will not wish to drink again, and even if he does-so says M. Alaverdoff, it will immediately make him "womit"
