While It Was an Exceptionally
Good Year
THERE WAS MANY PATIENTS
In St. AIMS Hospital, Most OF Whom
We're Employees of the Smelt-
ers--POisoning Cases.

The year just ending has been looked
upon as a very healthy one in the copper
city, still at the only hospital, which is
st. AIMS, nearly 1000 patients have been
treated. The exact number is 1854 and the
majority of the patients were from
among the men employed in the various
departments of the Anaconda Copper
Mining Co. Patients come to this nos
pital from all over Deer Lodge county,
Granite county and some from Butte,
who prefer the climate in Anaconda TO
that of Butte. OF the number OF patients
treated the greatest number was injuries
which numbered ISL. The other ailments
were as follows: Pneumonia 80, erys1pe-
las II, rheumatism 81, burns 80. anlputa-
tons Z, typhoid q, poisoned 80, la grippe
go and broken limbs "a. The number of
deaths was 35. All the poison cases came
from Carroll, which was due to eating
infected food. None of the poison cases
at the hospital resulted in death. but one
death occurred at Carroll from the same
food. ST. Ann hospital Will soon have
a new annex, which, when completed.
will make one of the largest and most
complete hospitals in the state.

and who wanted to see Marcus Daily
killed, is still in Jail. He claims he never
killed any one. From what can be
learned this is not the first time he has
acted strange, but it has always been
due to excessive drink. Mulligan is anx-
ious for a trial and expects his hearing
will be conducted in the Jail, which is
another mistaken idea.
The time of the county commissioners
this morning was taken up with auditing
expense accounts against the county. At
noon they had passed upon the number

Cuban ports, brought with her w. H. Sey-
mour, engineers yeoman of the refrigera-
tor ship Glacier, who was rescued from
drowning, says the New York Times after
he had thrown himself from the ship into
the scar near Cape Cruz. Seymour came
aboard the Seneca at Santiago in charge
of Surgeon Burns, United States navy of
the cruiser Cincinnati, and an attendant.
He was mentally deranged and was bound
for st. Elizabeth's hospital for the insane,
Washington.
While the Seneca was on her way to Man.
zanillo on November %, Seymour became
unruly and was placed in irons. On Novem-
Der % the Seneca left Manzanillo for Glen
fuegos, and Seymour was allowed to have
the liberty OF the main deck aft, so that
he might get a little fresh air and exercise.
Handouts were still kept on his wrists in
order to prevent him making any violent
demonstrations. At 1890 o'clock the stew
ard appeared upon the bridge and informed
First Officer Reed, whose watch it was,
that a passenger was overheard. The ship
where Seymour, who is a large, powerful
man, was seen swimming, handcuffed as he
was, toward the shore, which was between
three and four miles distant.
A starboard boat was lowered away with
all speed. First officer Reed took COM
mand of the boat and it was manned by
Fred Hansen, George Thompson, Christie
pher KnudSon and Louis Larsen, Seamen.
The boat made at once for Seymour, and he
was dragged from the water and taken
back to the ship. When the maniac was
overtaken he was still swimming on his
back, but he made no resistance.
From the time the steward made his re-
port to the moment Seymour again stood
on the deck only Is minutes elapsed. 1t
was probably one of the speediest rescues
on record. Second officer Parker was in
his bunk when the alarm was given. He
was sent for to relieve the first officer, but
the rescue was SO speedy that it was all
over before he had reached the bridge.
When Seymour was asked why he jumped
overheard he said:
II thought I'd take a bath. That was the
only way | could get one."
