Hereafter but One Steam Laundry Will
Operate in Anaconda.

Only one steam laundry instead of two
is in operation in Anaconda, where. until
last Saturday night, there were two. At
that time the Montana steam laundry
closed down its plant temporarily and all
its work is being done by the Anaconda
steam laundry.
William II. Weaver, proprietor of the
latter concern, said last night: This re-
ported consolidation is hardly a consolida-
ton. Because of the fact that the Chi
resc laundries are securing large por-
ton of the business. it has been found
that the two steam laundries cannot live,
50 Herman Johnson, the proprietor of the
Montana laundry, has arranged to have
his work done at my place.
'In 1893 the labor organizations called
on the proprietor of the one steam laun-
dry here and asked him to put a certain
scale of wages in effect, agreeing if he
did to get rid of the Chinese laundries.
The agreement was signed and the scale
went into effect, and has since been OBJ
served in both laundries in this city. That
scale is from So to 50. so day for girls
and 50 to $3.50 for men. In compliance
with the agreement the Chinese We're run
out.
Now the Chinese are returning and are
securing large amount of business. 1

LAuER CAUGHT At LAST
Swindler Tripped Up at Belle
Vile, Ontario.
ONCE OPERATED HERE
Took One Hundred and Fifty Dollars
From a Local Firm on a Game
a He Worked All Over
%1o
OPERATED HERE

: Mark Lazier the noted travelling
agent" has been captured. He is we'll
known in this city, and Is wanted here
on several charges, principally that of
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Lazier visited Anaconda about a year
ago and since that time the authorities
of this state have been on the look -out
for him, but he never showed up. When
last in this city, he went to the grocery
firm of McKinnon e Mckay of Com
mercial avenue. where he claimed to be
Powder company, and obtained about
$780, He also obtained large sums from
several other firms in the city.
In speaking of LaZier's arrest in
Belleville, Ont, the Detective publish
ed in Chicago. says:
Lazier travelled under many differ
ent names. such as G.. G. and G. H.
Harmon G. H. Lamont, M. Lampson,
j. Anderson, B. E. Logan, r. H. Han
lon, A. d. Dinpam, A. B. Franklin and
H. E. Hamilton, but it Is said his right
name is Mark Lazier. His swindling
operations have covered a wide stretch
of territory, and his victims have been
numerous.
'Laziers game was to pass himself
off as travelling agent for some we'll
known company, such as the Royal
Baking Powder company, the Rabbit
Soap company, Ivory Soap company,
or Arbuckles Coffee and Sugar COM
pany. He would drop into town and
call upon a dealer and offer goods at
remarkably low figures. Possessed of
pleasing address and interesting per-
sonality, he would generally secure
large order. He appeared to be "hale
fellow well met" and would stay
day or two in town, getting acquaint-
ed with his customers and making him
self generally agreeable. When he was
ready to leave town he would drop in
and ask the dealer to please step over
to the bank and tell the cashier who he
was, and would present draft on the
firm, and when the merchant hesitated
about indorsng it LaZier would pro-
duce letter, written on the firms let
ter-head, stating that he was an au-
thority to draw on it for a limited sum
for expenses. This letter, with Lazier's
smooth explanations, invariably
brought the cash, when he would skip
to greener pastures and renew the
game. 1t is stated that LaZier raked
in about 100000 by this swindle during
the IS years he was operating"
Lazier has been extradited from Can
ada, and has been turned over to the
authorities of Cattaraugus county, New
York, where he is badly wanted. He
has been held to the September term
of the grand jury charged with forg-
cry,

WATER IN THE STREETS
Property Owners Complain of
Flooded Thoroughfares.
THEY GROW IMPATIENT
Propose to Tear Up a Railway Track If
Their Wants Are Not Satisfied.
Matter Discussed by
the Council.

The monthly meeting of the city
council was held last evening, with
Mayor Madden and Aldermen Collins.
Talbot, Dolan, Mcdonnell, Sladich,
Fitzpatrick, Kelly, Dunn and Murphy
present. The meeting was an unusually
dull one and not until there had been a
motion made to adjourn was there the
least interesting work.
Alderman Murphy had just moved to
adjourn, when Alderman Dolan called
the councils attention to a ditch which
ran along Third street, in the east end
of the town, and which was causing
damage to property owners and resi-
dents
THE people down there want the city
to build culvert under the track on
Third street, in the east end of the
town." said Mr.. Dolan. The water
which runs down that street is blocked
at the track and they don't want to
have all the rubbish of the city gath
cred there. The people have threatened
to take out the switch, no matter what
force is put against them, and we don't
intend to let the street commissioner
or anybody else drown us there. There's
lot of dirt and filth and the people
have good cause for complaint This
matter was once referred to a special
committee and was never attended to-"
Alderman Collins moved that the
| street commissioner visit the place and
have the necessary alterations made.
1t was SO ordered.
Alderman Mcdonnell then announced
to the council that no action had yet
been taken by the special committee in
the Sheep gulch matter. He said the
other members of the committee OPP
posed doing the work on the ground of
economy and that during the delay
great damage to the residents of that
neighborhood was being caused by the
filth which was flowing down the gulch.
Alderman Fitzpatrick said he was in
favor of laying the matter over for
some time. The city engineer has es-
timated that it will cost $4,000 to have
the proper sewer constructed" said Mr..
Fitzpatrick, and the people won't bond
themselves just now"
Street Commissioner Shovlin said he
had not enough men to manage the
water there. The water yesterday came
down with great force and damaged
property in the east end. The street
commissioner suggested that net be
constructed to stop the rubbish from
flowing down. After much discussion
the matter was laid over until the city
engineers return.
Alderman Talbot asked the council to
instruct the clerk to pay bills in cash
hereafter instead of by warrants. The
matter was referred to the finance COM
mittee.
The quarterly report Of City Treas
urer Walkup was read and referred to
the finance committee. The report is as

City Engineer J. Fl. Mcdonald asked
for leave of absence of two weeks,
which was granted. The city engineer
reported that the work on the sewer
in Improvement district No. 13 amount
ed to $3.50. AS the contractor is allowed
IS per cent. of this amount at this time,
the sum of SIP was ordered paid to Mr..
Mcdonald
An invitation to send delegates to the
convention of the League of American
Municipalities, which meets in SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, Sept. 10 to %, was received
and referred to the ways and means
committee. The bill of the league for
$40 for membership was referred to the
finance committee.
The July report of the city treasurer
was referred to the finance committee
1t was ordered that the city clerk
prepare a property owners list of i'm
provement district No. 10.
Warrants We're ordered drawn for the
payment of the pay roll of Street Com
missioner Shovlin, amounting to $249.
The finance committee allowed several
bills and they were ordered paid. Sew
eral bills were referred to the finance
committee.
The council was adjourned until next
Monday evening, when the tax levy for
next year will be made.
