MEN ALONE ARE TO BLAME
Management of Quarry Exoner-
ated From All Blame.
THE VERDICT OF THE JURY
Blame for the Explosion in the Lime
Quarry West OF the City Fixed
by the Coroner's Inquest
Yesterday.

That Patrick McMahop's death was
recovered. produced by a powder explo-
sion in lime quarry situated eight miles
in a westerly direction from Anaconda
Mont, said accident happening from a
disregard of the instructions issued by
the contractor, the foreman of said work
having failed to carry out the instruc-
TONS was the verdict brought in by
the coroner's jury yesterday.
Thus ended the inquest convened by
Coroner Hardenbrook to inquire into the
explosion at the lime quarry Friday last,
from the effect of which explosion two
men were killed and two badly wou n
ed, one so seriously that it has been
found necessary to amputate his leg.
The result of the inquest has been to
thoroughly exonerate William B. Webb,
blame for the death of James McCuI-
Tough and Patrick Mcmahon. the two
victims of the disaster, and from all
blame for the wounding of Leroy Carter
and John Thornton.
According to the coroners jury the
blame falls on poor Leroy Carter, the
young foreman of the work, whose own
testimony before the jury was the
strongest evidence against him. He de-
clared, when examined just before his
leg was amputated, that his instructions
had been to refrain from attempting TO
shoot missed holes, but that an attempt
had been made by men under his direc-
ton to shoot a missed hole, and in the
attempt the explosion had taken place.
The evidence of several witnesses went
to show that Superintendent Webb had
instructed repeatedly against working
with missed holes.
After having rendered its verdict in the
Mccullough case Monday evening the
coroner's jury adjourned to meet yester-
day morning at II o'clock. Doctors Spell
man and Mckenzie were present at that
hour. They testified as to the wounds
OF Mr.. Mcmahon and declared that his
death was due to the shock experienced
in the explosion. He had never rallied
from the shock which had shaken his
entire system.

Northern Pacific Railway company
praying for right of way along said
street. which was presented to the
council at it's meeting on the 14th of
this month.
The railroad company has had ties,
rails. switches and all the necessary
material for constructing side track
upon the ground for two months past,
but owing to opposition which devel-
oped in certain quarters, and the fact
that the street had not been vacated,
work upon the siding has bsen deferred.
However. it is expected that work will
soon commence and will be pushed to
completion as rapidly as possible. The
new track will be 3,40O feet long and
afford ample room for the longest
trains.
1t is understood the railroad company
have agreed, for the concessions grant
ed. to change the course of the South
Fork of Cottonwood creek so as to
make that creek run due west along
Third street from it's intersection with
A street to where the creek crosses
Third street on the west for the last
time, and thence to the river. The COM
pany has agreed also to crib and cover
the course of the creek along Third
street.
Some of the inhabitants on the west
side of A street have been much OPP
posed to the council granting the right
of way along that thoroughfare, claim
ing it would damage their property. but
that body thought it the better course
to grant the concession and IL the prop
erty of individuals was damaged to let
them seek redress from the railroad
company.

Uniforms Q.

The Spanish American war introduced
khaki uniforms to this city, says the New
York Sun, but it did not indicate the pro-
nunciation of khaki, and it has been va
riously called "cockey," "caky" and
"cakkay" One of the aldermen referred
to 1t last week as this new-fangled trop-
ical CLOTH" and SHE'D at its pronuncia-
ton. The men who wore it in Cuba call
ii "carky," with just the slightest sound
of the 'r."
The Bellevue attendants have recently
been ordered to equip themselves with
khaki uniforms and the first man who
appeared in one last week was jeered
until he fed to his room. 1t was the ex-
perience of the soldiers in Cuba who
were fortunate enough to be equipped
with khaki suits that 1t was the best
uniform thus far found for hard wear in
hot weather. No class of men in this
city is more uncomfortably uniformed
during the hot weather than the police
force, and A man who saw service in
Cuba and watched the police at work
in Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon made
the suggestion that their lot would be
happier on such occasions if they wore
Khaki uniforms. The heavy helmet is
necessary for protection, probably, but
the blue uniform coat looks very uncom-
Portable 1t is probable however, that
if such a change were made during the
summer months the police force would
lose a part of its moral effect. A solid
platoon of blue coats would have more
spectacular effect on a mob than solid
platoon of khaki coats, but the men on
the force have shown that they are cap
able of enforcing respect from a mob with
their night sticks, without reference to
their uniforms

ANDERSON, THE SLEEPER.
He Is Repos;ng In a Prominent Main Ave-
nue. Show Window.

He Is Kepossng IN prominent MAIN ave-
nue. Show Window.
Claude Anderson. a wavy haired young
man who is what the Flints term "a
trained subject was put into an hyp-
motto sleep on the stage of the Margaret
theater last night by Mr.. Flint. laid on
a cot and borne to a show window on
Main street, where Mr.. Flint guarantees
he will remain until this evening, sound
asleep the entire time and without food
or drink.
Mr.. Anderson is the young man who
travels with the Flints and assists them
in their performances when he IS not
sleeping He is probably an economical
young man to have in a company, for
the Flints can certainly save expense
money on him when he is in one of his
hypnotic sleeps. For instance, they are
one nights lodging and three meals to
the good by his present sleep. If BUSH
ness gets bad or the Flints become shy
of cash, Mr.. Anderson can be thrown
into a sleep and not awakened until
things are coming better. Any time he
has not the price of meal he can get
Mr.. Flint to put him to sleep, thus for
getting all about his desire to eat.
And then. too, If Mr. Flint wanted to
save railroad fare. he can stiffen An
derson out in cataleptic condition, put
him in a box, tag him and ship him
excess baggage. A handy man is Mr..
Anderson.
Well, anyhow-to quote the redoubtable
Bobby Gaylor-Anderson was put to sleep
as he sat in a chair arrayed in a pretty,
white canvas suit: was then laid on the
couch and covered over with a portiere
that once did duty in a doorway. He
appeared to be sleeping peaceably at last
accounts and to be entirely free from
nightmare. If he dreams he will probably
dream of Mr. Flint's perfectly lovely
whiskers. for these were dangling in his
face when he closed his eyes and drifted
off to the land of Nod.
Much the same performance as that
of the night before was given by the
Flnts last night. The audience was
larger than on the opening night, show
ing the interest is increasing.

NEW COMPLAINT FILED.
Case Against Mckenzie Withdrawn in
Favor of Another One.

The police court was crowded yesterday
afternoon at o'clock when William Nc
Kenzie, otherwise known as Professor
Langdon. was arraigned for trial on the
charge of frequenting houses of ill-repute.
City Attorney j. r. Boarman represent
ed the prosecution and the defense was
looked after by Attorneys Oles and Saw
yer.
When Magistrate ]. NJ. Kennedy called
the case Attorney Boarman asked that
ii be dismissed. as the complaint did not
state facts sufficient to constitute vio-
lation of the city ordinance. This re-
quest on the part of the prosecution
was granted, but another complaint was
Immediately filed by Chief White, in
which was stated the house he was
charged with having frequented and also
the woman with whom he was charged
with living.
Attorney Oles informed the court that
Mckenzie would take the statutory "A
hours in which to plead
He can have the "a hours said At
torney Boarman, but we want the date
for the trial fixed"
you can't ask for such a thing" re-
sponded Mr. Sawyer "Our client may
enter a plea of guilty. We don't know"
After some discussion it was. decided
that the defendant should enter bis plea
at o'clock to-day. and ifethe plea should
be that of not guilty the date for the
trial will be set then by the court.
