Married Without License.

The first serious blunder in Grant
county under the new marriage law
was made at Potosi by Father Pape.
Register Tuffley yesterday received
from him a marriage certificate and
an application. only. for a marriage
license No license had been issued
and the distinguished clergyman had
performed the ceremony contrary to
the provisions Of the new law. The
penalty in such case provided for the
officiating official is fine not to ex-
coed five hundred dollars or imprison-
ment not to exceed one year.
OF course no one will want to see
the distinguished clergyman punished
but the occurrence might serve as
a pointer to him and others. As all
Potosi people know. owing to the
regular contributions Of Aunt Lizzie
and S, the Teller is the local paper in
most general circulation in PotOsi.
Probably Father Pape is not reader
of any other county paper. Small
wonder that his knowledge Of the mar
riage law was behind the times and

AN UNUSUAL CAUSE.
Fat Embolism Leads to the Death of
Frank Switzer.

Fat Embolism Leads to the Death of
Frank Switzer.
Frank Switzer, the miner who was in
Jured in the Rarus mine Tuesday, died
at Murray & Freunds hospital yester-
day from the very unusual cause known
as fat embolism, clogging Of the arter-
les by a substance foreign to the blood.
The case is so exceptional that it Is
said to be the only one the kind ever
known in Montana.
Switzer was at work on the fourth
floor of the 400 level of the Rarus mine
last Tuesday when a fall of ground
came down which caught him and
broke his leg. He was taken to Murray
& Freund's hospital, where it was found
the tibia and fibula of one leg had been
fractured. The injury was not regard
ed as very serious, as a broken leg
rarely results fatally, and after the
bones had been set he was in cheerful
spirits and seemed to improve rapidly
for some hours. After about - hours,
however, very unusual symptoms COM
menced to manifest themselves. He
sank rapidly and soon passed into
state of coma, in which condition he re-
manned till 5 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing when he died. He was unconscious
the whole Of the last "a hours and
knew nothing of the terrible suffering
he would have endured had be been
capable of feeling.
DIR. Freund of the hospital staff stat
ed last evening that the injury the man
sustained in the mine had nothing to
do with his death. except indirectly
but that death was due to that very
extraordinary cause known in medical
lore as fat embolism. DR.. Freund stat
ed that this was produced by one or
more particles of the marrow of the
bone having escaped from one or the
other of the fractures and being car
ried into the circulation, produced an
emboliSm or a clogging of the blood
vessels, arresting circulation which
deadened the respira tory and heart CEN
tiers and produced death. 1t was said
such cases occur with such infrequen-
cy that it was not believed and had
never been known in Butte and possibly
in Montana. Being so very unusual,
the case created intense interest among
the surgeons of the hospital staff, who
watched it's progress with the utmost
attention. 1t was said such cases are
almost Invariably fatal.
Coronore Julien was notified OF
Switzer's death and will hold an in
quest.
The deceased was 81 years of age
and a very estimable young man. Ills
death was made particularly sad. as
ne leaves a bride of two weeks to
mourn his loss. The home of the young
couple was at 914 East Broadway. Be
sides the wife. ne leaves sister, who
is a resident of Butte.

Great Falls, March 30.-Only one day
remains for registration and the tally is
rapidly approaching 1,400 tonight. To-
morrow the registry agent takes a rest
and checks up his books and opens
again on Saturday for a final day of it.
Many predictions have been made that
the total would exceed 1900, and a few
have bet that it would reach 1000. Reg
istration has been very rapid so far as
compared with that of previous years,
and it is very possible that LOGO may be
reached. Workers for all parties are
mastering in the men wherever they
can be found, and if a man is overlooked
this year it will be his fault
