IS SULlIVAN'S RIVAL.
Richard Lindsay Disputes the Title of
Champion Baby Catcher.

Richard Lindsay, manager of the World
Messenger company, has come forward as
a rival to Officer Gerald Sullivan to the ii
tie of champion baby catcher.
For long Officer Sullivan has had a mo-
nopoly in recovering lost children. A child
that had escaped from its fond parents
and wandered loose about the city was in
variably drawn as by a magnet to the
protecting arms of the officer.
&, But the magnet must have broken or
something gone wrong with the charm
for Mr.. Lindsay captured a lost child
himself yesterday, and Officer Sullivan
was on duty at the time, too.
The lost child was the S-year-old son Of
John Buckovch, who lives on Chestnut
street, between Fourth and Fifth. Mr..
Lindsay found the small boy strolling
along West Fifth street, took him in
charge hunted up his home and restored
the youngster to a delighted and grateful
mother.

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her Little
Daughters Life.

am the mother of eight children
and have had a great deal of expe-
rience with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in its worst form. We thought she
would die I tried everything l could
think of. but nothing seemed to do her
any good. I saw by an advertisement
in our paper that Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
highly recommended and sent and got
a bottle at once. 1t proved to be one
of the very best medicines we ever had
in the house 1t saved my little daugh-
ters life. I am anxious for every
mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had l known 1t at first
It would have saved me great deal
of anxiety and my little daughter much
suffering. Yours truly, Mrs. George F.
Burdick. Liberty, r. l.
The soothing and healing properties
of Chamberlains Cough Remedy, its
pleasant taste and prompt and perma-
nent cures, have made it great favor
lite with the people everywhere.
Troublesome to the Army
During the civil war, as well as in
our late war with Spain, diarrhoea was
one of the most troublesome diseases
the army had to contend with. In
many instances it became chronic and
the old soldiers still suffer from it.
Mr.. David Taylor of Wind Ridge,
Greene county, Pennsylvania, is one
Of these. He uses Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
says he never found anything that
would give him such quick relief. For

ANACONDA NEWS.
FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES
Special Election Called to Vote
a Special Tax Levy.
AMOUNT is OUR MILLS
Will Realize About Twenty Thousand
Dollars-1s Needed as the General
Levy Does Not Yield
Enough Money.
AMOUNT is OUR MILLS

Thursday, Aug. "a, special election
skill be held in the Anaconda school dis
trict-known officially as district No.
10-for the purpose of submitting to
the people the proposition of levying
a special tax of four mills on the dol
Tar for school purposes. This action
has been decided on by the board of
school directors and the official publ
cations of the notice of the election
will be commenced immedia tely.
~ The annual cost of the Anaconda
school district runs over $4,000. For
rthe school year just closed the cost was
sS40,479.54. Last year from the regular
levy the school district received s21.-
%1I6.16. To this a special levy of four
iamills was added. realizing s19,303.3S.
fThis year the conditions will be practi-
!, cally the same. The regular tax levy
,.for school purposes throughout the
county will be four mills. of which
Anaconda will receive about $4,000.
The question that confronts the direc-
tors is to shut up half the schools or to
levy a special tax. The same question
mas been up every year for several
years past and each time the special
Max has been voted. The money to be
srealized, of course, is to be used for
tne ensuing year, the expenses Oh the
1ast year having been paid and all
school district warrants being paid in
cash.
When the county commissioners fix
4 the levy for all purposes at a meeting
ito be held some time this month, they
will levy, among other taxes, four mills
for school purposes. This will be paid
all over the county the same and the
money will go into the school fund.
Money is apportioned out of this fund
Ato the several school districts on the
Number of school children each dis
'trict contains. There were two appor-
.tionments in the last fiscal year, in one
;of which Anaconda got $3.529.36 and in
the other $17,646.S0. Were the appor-
7 tionment based on the amount of tax
able property contained in the district,
rather than on the number of school
children, it is thought the district would
draw a much larger sum from the
county school fund. In other words,
the amount of taxable property con-
tanned in school district No. 10 is great
er in proportion to all the property in
the county than is the number of school
. children in the district in proportion to
all the children in the county.
When the special levy is made 1t ap-
plies only to property within this dis
trict and will be devoted entirely to
! the uses of this district. 1t does not
& go into the general county school fund,
but into a special fund of its own. The
new levy, if voted, will be based on the
assessment just made and will realize
about 1000 The exact amount can
not be stated. as the assessment has
not yet been equalZed.
To Take school Census,
r Monday of next week the school
board of Anaconda district will COM
mence taking the school census for the
purpose of enumerating all the children
of school age within the district.

MUST BRING CHICKENS
Court Gives Advice to Butte
Amateur Fishermen.
THEY MUST NOT STEAL
If They Crave Fowl They Must Lay In a
Supply Bslore Going Fishing.
Offenders Settle the
Case.

If the amateur fishermen of Butte
follow Justice William Devine's advice
they will bring their chickens along
with them when they come to Ana
conda. If they do not heed this adj
vice their forgetfulness will prove ex-
pensive when they once reach this
city.
Justice Devine gave this advice when
the chicken coop raiders were brought
into his court room yesterday morning.
The accused We're Joe Mulvehill and
Gus Grid, well-known Butte men, and
Frank Warwick and William Shend,
well-known Anaconda citizens Shend
is better known as Curly Bill
The men were charged with having
robbed the hen roost of J. c. Holm, a
farmer of Deer Lodge valley. Accord
ing to the latter's story, the four men
had been fishing in the neighborhood
of his roost, which they visited on
Wednesday evening and distracted five
chickens therefrom. A member of the
accused party told the following story:
On Wednesday Shend, alias Curly
Bill" had been making frequent visits
to the demijohn and in the evening it
was noticed that he was missing. Null
vehill, Bird and Warwick went out
hunting for him and after awhile found
him in the chicken coop with his coat
and hat off. Curly Bill had two
chickens in his arms. and was making
desperate efforts to get at more. The
party took three chickens and paid a
boy 81 for them. They then adjourned
to a nearby spot, where they killed,
cooked and ate the fowl
Farmer Holm was called and he said
that he was not satisfied with 81, but
wanted more. He said his chickens
were worth SIS.
The four men offered to settle the
matter by paying 81 to Farmer Holm
for his chickens and settling the costs
of the action. This proposition was ac-
cepted and the complaint was with
drawn. Before the men left the court
Judge Devine gave them some advice.
Hereafter, when any Butte men
want to come fishing near Anaconda.
he said, they would better provide
themselves with chickens beforehand
as the price in Deer Lodge valley is
SO apiece. If they forget this it will
cost them dear
After the defendants left court they
had hard luck story to tell. Mulve-
hill and Curly Bill had fallen into
the creek and spoiled the fishing, sc
they wanted to catch something and
had tackled the chicken coop. While
cooking the chickens Bill fell into the
fire, creating some more excitement.

|. RUN OUT OF TOWN.
Paddy the Rogue for His Sins Had to
Go Away.

W. HNays
Poor Paddy the Rogue has gone. Yes
terday morning. with a sorrowful air and
bad taste in his mouth, Paddy shook the
dust of Anaconda from off his feet and hat
the Mil creek trail. He had been ordered
out of town.
Paddy is a little. dred-up old chap with
a County Roscommon brogue and voice
like the gearing of an unoiled bicycle His
official name is Patrick O'Donnell. Not
Paddy the Rogue: Pat O'Donnell,' he new
err grew tired of reiterating when address
ell by the name the boys gave him. A year
ago a gentleman named Tracy batted
Paddy over the head with a stick of cord
wood which batting had a depressing ef-
feet on Paddy, as he wasn't much bigger
than the stick himself The blow may
have had something to do with his height.
for Paddy is not five feet tall. He wears
a face, good humored but profileless Seen
from the side his cOuntenance looks like
a perpendicular wall with the head of
10-penny nail bent upward sticking out
of 1t.
Paddy takes the world merrily. Despite
the blow on his head he has been in good
health of late. but prone to ideness. This
Jolly little man with his piping voice, band
OF green ribbon on his hat and capacity
for things drnkable has long been ia
miliar figure about the streets and sa-
looms
Paddy was drinking Thursday and went
to sleep on the Cherry street sidewalk.
There Deputy Sheriff Walsh arrested
him. Paddy thought it all joke and
wanted to buy a drink for the officer
Great was his disappointment when
Walsh refused to be jolied and took Pad
dy to the station.
Yesterday before Judge Kennedy, dole
fully and squeakily, Paddy pleaded guilty
TO being a vagrant. He consented to leave
tb. town if allowed to do so, and this he
was ordered to do.
And thus Anaconda has lost one of its
unique characters. 3
