yds. of the woods when we were greet

Insurgents trenches in front of us. We
were ordered by Col. Frost to lie down
which order was quickly executed. We
fred two volleys and went forward at
double time, still firing as we run. and
soon had the insurectos sprinting across
q field 400 yds wide to cover in . dense

while bringing orders from Gen. Hale. }
Forward we went, over the trenches up
the hill down across q dry creek to the
bank Of the river this side OF. Marilao

double line Of trenches one above the
other part of the battalion crossed on

ed into the water and up the bank, all
the time subject to cross fire from the
enemy.
Stretching away from the river and a
mile forward is a large rice field; here
we could see hundreds of Insurgents
fleeing for their life, but our boys were
so near out of ammunition and over
come by heat that very little firing upon
them was done, when the L. Battery of
srd Artillery come up and did good
work with their Cragg's.
Soon the Nebraskas with small field
piece (Which we carried over the r. r.
bridge) came up. They took up the
advance and drove the Insurgents about
two miles farther on.
In the meantime in searching along
the river bank, I discovered several
insurectos in the bushes and in the
water We captured sixteen, all armed
with Mausers About rs rifles were
taken. In few moments we found out
what that charge Of mile cost us. 10

MARIE CORELLI ON SUICIDE.

Miss Marie Correlli has sent her views
on suicide to the Kingston Debating So
ciety, in the following letter, quoted in
the London Mail:
II may state at once that I do not con-
slider suicide justifiable under any cir
cumstances whatever.
1T is quite true that God has given us
free will in the matter of ending our lives
if we wish, but at the same time we must
not forget that free will was not ours
when we came into the world. There can
be no doubt that we are brought into it
for some purpose known only to the Gre
ator, and it is but a towards act to
s~hrink-nay shirk-the work He has
given US to do.
The most difficult course is the most
heroic. To die is easy; it is but the mat
ter of a few minutes: but to live a life
of hardship, toll, privation and sorrow,
and to live it well. DIS the work of a hero.
Does not our frail human nature eXult
and glow when we heal of some grand
act of self-abnegation or extreme brav-
cry, or when we read of the splendid acts
of bravery and heroism that men have
performed ever since the world began?
Therefore, arguing a la Socrates, the
most difficult is the best to do and the
bravest.
mo; this gift of free will is a very
sacred one. And who knows but that
there are invisible spectators of our acts
watching us as to whether we use it to
the best of our ability as soon as we be-
come conscious of the gift?
IF we use that free will to consum-
mate an act of cowardice-suicide-we
Immediately state plainly that We care
nothing for the precious gift of God
which he gave us in the beginning, and
what the result of that contempt may
be we cannot possibly imagine, save that
cowardice is in~stinctively despised by
both heaVen and earth"

the Business Outlook is

A. G. Glover and Sanford Van Giesen
of Avon, in the north end of the county,
are in the city, having spent nearly all
day yesterday in coming, on account of
poor railroad connections. They came
as far as Garrison or the west-bound
Northern Pacific passenger train, where
a change of cars to a freight train on
the Montana Union was made, which
brought them in to Stuart during the
forenoon. They were then nine miles
from Anaconda, and We're Informed that
the next train for their destination left
after 8 o'clock in the evening. Instead of
waiting, they walked to Gregson Springs.
across the country, missed one train and
caught the next one, reaching Anaconda
before shutdown, after spending all day
or hte road, a distance of less than so
miles in Deer Lodge county. Mr.. Glover
say the railroad accommodations out
side of the B.. A. & P. railway in this
county are badly out of joint for any
one coming to the county seat. He also
says business at Avon is good for this
season of the year. 1t is a small place
and much trade is not expected. The
stock in that section is looking well. The
winter has been practically an open one,
and few of the stockmen have had to feed
their stock. Al the present time there is
not over an inch and a half Of snow on
the level. During the winter there has
not been over 10 days of good sleighins
altogether. The absence of snow has
made it bad for what little lumber inter-
ests tehre> are near Avon, which consists
of two small sawmills. owned by I. w.
Blood. However, both mills are at work
with a working force Of about 20 men.
and an output Of $500 worth of lumber.
more. or less. is being cut daily. The
logs are hauled to the mills on sleds. The
output of the mills finds a market in
Butte.
A large number of men are also en-
ployed around Avon in the tie camps.
for the tie industry seems to be moro
prosperous than it has been for some
time. The gentlemen will return home
in the morning.

FROM JAIL

Jake Stratton was yesterday discharged
from custody on a writ of habcaS corpus
granted by Judge Napton. Stratton was
arrested in P~hilipsburg charged with
'idling about saloons and sentenced to
80 days in Jail. Under the city ordinances
a prisoner must be first fined an amount
and in default thereof may be sentenced
to a number of days in Jail, but a iudg-
ment must be entered first. There is no
such offenSe as "idling about saloons on
the statute books or in any of the city
ordinances. Under these conditions Judge
Napton ordered the prisoner released
from custody which was done. The case
brought one fact prominent to the eyes
Of the members of the Anaconda bar and
that is the necessity of having the CITY
ordinances of Anaconda classified and
codifed as they are at Philipsburg. The
work is compiled in book form and is a
thing every attorney and citizen would
take a pride In having in Their possession
so that they could at any time turn to
the laws, rules and regulations of the
municipality in which they reside. Sew
eral Of the attorneys will lay the matter
hefore the council at its next meeting.

SALTON CAMERON DEAD

Although expected the news of the
death OF SaltOn Cameron of Georgetown
which occurred at Deer Lodge Monday
evening is sad news to his many friends.
The deceased was a pioneer. One of the
old timers of the Gable mining district
who during his life time massed a small
fortune and died a poor man. He was
the ~dlscoverer of the Pyrennes and South
ern Cross mines at Georgetown which
with other property made himself and
others rich. From these claims came the
famous Cameron cabinet of gold quartz
and wire gold specimens, valued at $40. 600,
which took first prize in the mineral ex-
hibits of the centennial exposition of 1876
and at the cotton exposition at New Or
leans some years later.
He erected a gold stamp mill near the
southern Cross mine which was known
as "Cameron's Mill and was erected to
treat custom ore. The venture was not
a success and many dollars of the good
old pioneer We're lost in the mill venture
as well as the development of mines at
Georgetown. CamerOn'S mill was sold
about a year go to James Glenn of Ohio.
Mr.. Cameron was about 65 years of age,
He came to Montana in 1865. His first
residence was Helena where he worked
at his trade of millWright. He has been
a resident of Georgetown close onto sc
years. His remains are being held at
Deer Lodge waiting advice from his
brother in Canada.

CATS FLAYED A WOMAN.

There is an old woman who lives in
Clerkenwell. London, who has so many
cats she does not know what to do with
them. The old lady is named Scott, and
her habitation was in a little two-story
building at the back of II Wilmington
Square the entrance being down a mar
row passage in ST. Johns News, Rose
berry avenue. Here she had fourteen
boxes, containing 200 flayed cats packed
like Ostcnd rabbits, and when the police
made an entry they rescued fourteen
cats from a like fate.
The real object of tie old lady is
somewhat of a mystery. The %neighbors
say that postal orders came to her fire.
Quently, but other circumstances show
that she was not in wan of money.
She halls from Aberdeen AVA" where
she has, canny Scotswoman hat she is,
bath siller and hooses.' When the
police took her to the station and
asked her what she was and what she
did, she described herself as "a designer
of cats The police laughed, and she
said, "HOots ava, you're daft and
then she Contided to them the Informal
ton that she preserved the dead bodies
in order to take the opinion of a special
list as to the cause of her death.
She obtained the animals in a some-
what ingenious fashion. Describing her.
self as a painter of animals, she can
yassed the district and obtained orders
from various people to paint their cats.
once she obtained these household pets,
they, of course, were never returned.
