CREATED A SENSATION,
Mysterious Stranger Appears at Party
and Then Disappears.

Into the midst of a gay party of
young people at the residence OF Mrs.
w. G. Allen Friday night there stalkad
tall and bearded stranger. Who he
was or where he came from no one
knew. He was well dressed, was quiet
but unabashed and seemed unconscious
of the sensation he was creating.
For a few moments, in the crowd of
guests, the appearance of the stranger
was overlooked. Then he seated HIM
self near table where a card game
was in progress, placed his arm famii-
arly on the back of chair in which
was seated a lady, and eyed the game
over her shoulder. She drew away and
changed her chair.
Whispered comment began to fly
about the room, with whispered ques-
tons. No one could recognize the man.
Then fear began to strike to the hearts
of the feminine portion of the assembly
They were nearly panic-stricken when
the stranger rose from his seat and
carelessly walked about the room Then
he walked out the front door, speaking
to no one, and was gone.
After he left smell of whiskey be-
came apparent in the room. 1t is
thought the man was a stranger who,
under the influence of liquor, walked
into the house without knowing where
he was

ANACONDA NEWS.
He WAS WELL AT TENDED.
Physicians Deny That Jefferson
Was Neglected.
RECEIVED MEDICAL AID
Pronounce False the Report Circulated
by Friends OF the Colored Man
That He Was Left
Alone.

Friends of the late Thomas Jefferson,
the colored man who died of pneumonia
at st. AIMS hospital last Sunday, have
TO, several days been circulating a re-
Tort about the city to the effect that
Jefferson had died withcu. being at
tended by physician. This report has
caused general Indignation among the
physicians and the Sisters of the hos
pital
The rumor was first given out by
James Fentrice a colored man who re-
sides at SOP East Commercial avenue.
Fentrice went to several places where
he told his story. At the Copper City
store he told several of the clerks that
Jefferson had been taken to the hos
pital on Friday evening and that from
that time until Sunday morning, when
he died, no physician had attended him.
Several other of Jefferson's friends have
been circulating the same rumor. until
yesterday it was the subject of CONVEX
sation on the streets of the city.
The hospital authorities were. seen
yesterday and they emphaticall denied
that there was any truth in the report.
DR.. Mckenzie, one of the physicians
of the hospital, said:
Anyone lies who says that Jefferson
died without seeing a physician or be-
ing attended to. Color don't make any
difference with us, and we care for all
the patients attentively. In my own
mind. really believe that Jefferson re
ceived better treatment than many
others l know, and this is the only
complaint that we have heard of. JEFF
ferson was suffering from pneumonia
and was taken to the hospital on Satur
day morning. I had seen him at his
residence, and it was l who advised
that he be taken to the hospital, as he
was growing worse. I saw him that
morning, and in the afternoon he was
seen by DR.. Snyder who made out a
prescription for him. The books will
show that this is true. Jefferson was
well taken care, of and all day Saturday
he was looked after by a nurse. He
died on Sunday morning at about Z
o'clock
DR.. Spelman was also seen and he
stated that Jefferson had been well
cared for.
81 did not attend him personally, but
DR.. Mckenzie did and the man was as
well treated as it was possible for a
patient to be treated"

ONLY A LOST BABY.
But He Kept the Sheriff's Office Busy for
Time.

But He Kept the Sheriff's Office Busy for
For several hours yesterday afternoon
and last evening there sat in a big arm
chair in the sheriff's office at fat-faced,
bare-footed tow-headed small boy, per-
haps four years of age. So short were
his little chubby legs that when he sat
back in the chair they stuck straight out
in front of him.
Big, brawny deputy sheriffs looked upon
him with fear. When a shadow would
cross the youngsters face and a cloud
burst would seem imminent, there would
be rush for the door of deputies trying
to get away from the storm. When the
baby smiled the deputies crowded around
him in glee. fed him on cake and tried
to talk baby talk
And all the time the barefooted infant
wriggled his little brown toes gazed re-
f1ectively at his knickerbockers and per-
sistently refused to be interviewed He
was simply a little lost boy and he had
an abiding faith that his mamma would
find him; so he considered it superfiuous
to give his name
BY and by some one said he thought the
youngster lived in Hoge's flats. Deputy
Sheriff Stevens set off thither with the
boy, but before he reached the flats a
fearful, excited mother met him and
elasping the recovered baby to her breast,
thanked the officer and hurried home

Will You Heed This?

The long winter evenings are here
and every family should be well sup.
piled with entertainment of some
kind. What better t..lng can we ,io
than to supply ourselves with good
reading matter? or course, every
intelligent man and ambitious boy
reads. How else can we raise our
selves above the level of the mere
animal except by the development
of our higher power? And how can
we do this without the study of
books and current literature? The
students of the schools, of course,
have or should have, their time filed
up with their daily studies. There
are numbers Of young men, i'll town

edge is at the lowest point, who
spend their evenings on tho street,
tramping around wherever they can

as themselves, snd waste all their
spare time, when they might become
even highly educated without the
help of the schools, if they would
read. We beg t"ese boys to read,
and warn them. that if they do not
inform themselves they will never
amount to anything more than they
are at present. They must take n
low seat, play second fddle-be

If they will look they will see that
