Will Occur Two Weeks From
Next Saturday.
THE LAW ON THE MATTER
May be a Possibility That There Will
Need be No Election This
Year in Anaconda.

Two weeks from next Saturday will be
school election day. 1t that time there
will be two trustees elected unless some
change occurs in the district from a sec
ond-class to a first-class district. The
new school law says:
"All districts having a population of
$4,000 or more are districts of the first
class; those having a population of
1000, and less than II, 900, are districts
of the s~econd-class, and those having a
population of less than 1000 are dis
tricts of the third-class.
There is no change in the number
of trustees, except that in second-class
districts the number is reduced from
seven to five. The trustees of a second
class district must appoint by an order
entered in their records, three qualified
electors of said districts, to act as judges
at such election, and the clerk of the dis
trict shall notify them by mail of their
appointment. said judges shall appoint
one of their number 10 act as clerk at
such election. If the judges named are
not present at the time for opening the
polls. the electors present may appoint
judges and the judges so appointed shall
designate one of their number to act as
clerk
The name of all the candidates for
membership on the school board must
be received and filed by the clerk and
posted at each polling place at least five
days preceding the election.
ANY five qualified electors of the
districts may file with the clerk the
nominations of as many persons as are
to be elected to the school board at the
ensuing election
In all first-class districts the voters
must be registered the same as for any
other election. The trustees of a first
class district are paid s. for every meet
ing of the school board they attend,
Should Anaconda remain a ~second-class
district no trustees will be elected. 1t is
now more than likely the district Will be
continued as a second-class until after
the school election. p. H.. Cuddihy, one
of the retiring trustees, who was credited
as not being a candidate for reelection is
positively in the race again and will look
for the nomination and also expects to
be elected. DR.. Mckenzie, the other re-
firing member is understood as not
wanting reelection.

THE WORLD AFIRE

The World messenger office caught fire
last evening at 6:45 o'clock, and caused
the Ida block to come near going up in
flames. The World office is situated in
the basement, under Days saloon, at the
corner of Main street and Commercial
avenue. The anVass and paper on the
wall close to a heating stove became
ignited during the absence of the local
manager. When he returned the whole
side of the wall was atire, and it was
rapidly burning its way into Days store
room, which occupies the remainder of
the basement. An alarm of fire was
turned in. The department responded
promptly and the fire was eXtinguished
with the chemical apparatus. The loss
was nominal.

A Blind Negro Has an Awful
Experience.
CAUGHT BY THE THROAT
By a Canine That Was Set Upon Him
by Its OWner--His Wounds
Are Very Painful.

A horrible spectacle was witnessed
down on East Third street yesterday
afternoon when a ava dog attacked a
blind colored man and came near eating
him. To make the affair all the more
brutal the dog attacked the unfortunate
man at the command of a man who must
be worse than the dog to commit such
a crime. The man bitten was Charles
Davis, a blind colored man who is a
familiar figure in every town in Montana.
He makes an honest living going from
town to town selling lead pencils and
other trinkets. Yesterday he went over
on Chestnut street to Third street. Near
the corner he says a man grabbed hold
of his Goa tail and began to jerk it. At
the same time this man began to say
"sic-em." The next instant a dog jumped
upon him throwing him to the ground.
walk the dog attacked him the same as
though he were a WOodchuck. Davis was
caught by the throat and although he
yelled loudly for help the dog continued
to bite him time after time about the neck
and chin. Being blind Davis could do
nothing to defend himself against the
savage brute. He could not see but be
lieVeS that the man who set the dog on
him ran away as soon as he fell down.
In a short time assistance came and the
dog was driven off but not until Davis
was a horrible looking sight. Blood was
running from his wounds in a stream.
Many of the wounds reached clear to the
bone. Kind samaritans came to his rescue
and led him to ST. AIMS hospital where
his wounds We're dressed. Since then all
efforts to locate the dog or his owner
have proven futile. Davis, being blind,
could not Sc the dog or the nan to blame
for his assault. No one can be found
who knows the owner of the dog or can
give a description of the animal other
than it was a large dark one. The police
are looking for a clue but SO far have
been unsuccessful.

An Absentminded Man.

There have been great many stories
about absentminded men, where one
forgets his house address, another
what business he Is in and where an
other has to refer to the mark on his
handkerchief before he can remember
his own name. There is q farmer
named Rogers in the north, who pos
sessed Jersey COW, which he used to
drive morning and evening to and from
the pasture, not far from his home.
One morning, as one Of his neighbors
was passing along the road, he met
Mr. Rogers walking In the middle Of
the lane, his mind apparently engross-
ed with some weighty question. The
neighbor called out:
Good morning, Mr.. Rogers. Where
are you going?"
"Why," said Mr.. Rogers, in a sur
prised way, "rm driving the cow to
pasture" And he waved his hand to-
ward where the COW ought to have
been.

Thus all classes and conditions are

Stood by His Dad.

Once when John Van Buren,, son Of
President Van Buren,, was making q
speech In behalf Of his father, an old
Democrat rose in the audience and up
braided him as bolter. Few men were
more effective on the stump or quicker
ut repartec than John, and he replied
to the charge with an anecdote some
thing like this:
zone day Il man on horseback came
up with a boy who was contendinS
with an overturned load of hay. In
stead Of tossing the hay back In the
wagon, the boy was energetically toss
ing it hithcr and thither, regardless OF
where it landed.
1.-The traveller halted and said; My
young friend, why do you work so
furlously this hot weather? Why do
you not toss the hay back in the wag-
on and be more deliberate in your Ia
bors?
"The boy stopped, wiped the stream
ing perspiration off his face on his
shirt sleeve, and pointing to the pile OF
hay on the roadside, exclaimed, 'Stran-
ger, dads under thar and then he set
about work more furiously than ever"
