dressed by the authorities Of the South
African Republic to the foreign consuls
at Pretoria against the use of Kaffirs
by the British. This document is
lengthy and is accompanied by the
gravest and most damaging charges Of
gross inhumanity, outrage and uncivil-

South Africa. The list is lengthy and
detailed and the charges specific, the
dates and places of the outrages alleged
being given in every instance.
This list contains such instances of
barbarity as claiming prisoners and
dragging them behind cannon, the
mildest charge being that the British
are violating civilized usage by arming

THEY ARE TOUGH YOU CHS
TWO YOUNG FELLOWS WHO MAY
GO THE REFORM SCHOOL.

Young Hughey Downey will probably
be sent to the state reform school.
Hughey is II years old and wild and
woolly and full of booze nearly all the
time according to the statement, of his
father, p. H. Downey, who says he has
grown tired of the responsibility of trying
to keep his son sober and will ask the
state to attempt to do what he cannot.
Last night young Downey went home so
drunk that 1t was necessary for the
father to lasso him cowboy fashion, and
tie him to a post until an officer could be
called, who took the boy to jail. The
father will prefer a charge of incorrigi-
bility against hin today.
Lawrence Borden is another bad boy.
He was bound over to the district court
by Judge Bliss of South Butte yesterday.
The justice certified to the higher cour
that in his opinion the boy should be sent
to the reform school.
Young Borden was arrested recently by
Bowman. a South Butte grocer, who is of
the opinion hat Borden is the leader of
a gang of tough youths, through whose
petit thefts he has suffered much annoy
ance and some loss. One night recently
he put a case of canned vegetables on the
sidewalk of his store, turned out the
lights on the inside, and watched for re-
suits. He did not have long to wait.
Young Borden. and some other boys came
along and started to take away the
canned stuff, when Bowman and his clerk
went out and captured them.

CONCERNING THE NEW CHURCH

The official board of the Mountain View
church met Monday night and carried out
the programme as outlined in the Inter
Mountain of Monday. The board de-
cided to build q new church on the site
of the present house of worship. The
new editice is to have a seating capacity
of 800, and will cost when finished about
$40, 600.
The entire matter was placed IN the
hands of a committee consisting of G. 2.
Redpath, II. ]. Blulme and George Steven
son, and the m was authorized
t oemploy an architect to draw up suit
able plans. The building is to be of stone
or brick, arranged so that the larger por-
ton of the congregation can be accom-
mOdated with seats on the main floor, but
the plans are to provide for a balcony,
such as is usually built in opera houses
The basement will be designed to ac-
commodate the Sunday school.
The congregation will meet tomorrow
night to ratify the action of the board,
and when this is done a soliciting com
mittee will be sent out to raise the neces-
Sary funds.

AN ATHLE TIL CLUB.
To the Inter Mountain

To the Inter Mountains:
When the train that bore the Jay
Circus company to it's grave came roll
ing into Butte, I looked out Of the car
windows with amaZement. Nine years
before that date I had been instructor at
the old Pastime Athletic club and I was
surprised and pleased at the growth Of
the city. But there was one thing I
missed-an athletic club. My nine years
of travelling since I left Butte leads me to
believe thai a gentleman's club, made up
of men Of ordinary means, can thrive
here with an athletic auxiliary. Should
Clifford's bill Ito permit boxing in legiti-
mately organized clubs pass the senate.
the club would pay all expenses in two
years. Such a club, however, cannot be
established for less than $4,000, and
could be made a success. I would like to
hear from some of the Montana capital
lists who have honey to loan on good Sc
curity at reasonable interest. Respect
fully, BILLY WOODS.

May LOSE AN EYE
Arthur B0yle's Face and Head
Badly Lacerated.
TWO BAD MINE ACCIDENTS
Patrick Daugherty's Hip Crushed by
a Fall of Ground in the
Spectator Mine.

Two accidents was the record of the
mines for yesterday afternoon. Neither
We're fatal but they were uncomfortably
close calls. Rock fell in the Spectator.
Patrick Daugherty, a miner, was caught
in the falling debris. His thigh was
broken, and he received many painful
bruises on the body. He is at St. James
hospital.
Arthur Boyle was the other victim. He
is powderman at the Diamond mine, and
by the explosion of caps in the Diamond
magazine his head and body were badly
injured. He will carry the scars of his
injury on his face to his grave, and in
all probability will suffer the loss Of one
eye.
The story Of Daugherty's injury is as
follows: He was at work on the sixth
floor of the 90O-foot level. About half an
hour after the noon blasting, Daugherty,
in company with several other miners,
went in to shove UP the ore knocked
down by the blasts. Dausherty himself
sounded the ground loosened by the shots,
| and did it with some care as there was
not enough room in the space to put in a
set of timbers. One piece of rock he could
not sound as it was out of his reach, but
it looked safe and he went ahead with his
work. He had worked probably 20 min
utes or half an hour, and was directly I'M
der the ground which could not be sound
ed when it fell. He was forced down to
the tagging by a piece of rock, which
struck him on the left thigh. His COM
paniOnS quickly came to his assistance,
and removed the rock and debris that had
fallen on him and took him to the sur
face.
A moment before the rock came dow
Daugherty was STOPPING over, but had
partially Strengthened up when the rock
struck him. Had he remained in this
STOPPING position the rock would have
struck him either on the back or head.
and the accident, in all probability, would
have been much more serious.
He was taken to ST. James hospital and
his injuries dressed. 1t was found that
his thigh was badly crushed, and his in
jury is of such a character that it may
cripple him for life.
Arthur Boyle had charge of the powder
of the Diamond mine. He went into the
magazine on the 1,600 foot level to get
some powder and while there concluded
to see how long the supply of explosives
would last. He stuck his candlestick or
a piece of timber near a box of primers.
He was proceeding with his examination
When the explosion occurred Miners
heard the report of the explosion and en-
tered the magazine to find Boyle lying on
the floor of the place. At first it was
thought that he was dead, cut he revived
somewhat as he was being taken up the
shaft. He was removed to st. James
hospital, where it was found that one eye
had been badly injured, so seriously that
the attending physicians are of the opin-
ion that it will w to be removed, and
his face and body is torn and lacerated by
the brass cap fragments.

DON'T LIKE THE NEW TRUCK.

The fire department made two tests
with the new truck recently purchased in
Chicago. The tests We're made on the
library building, in the presence of the
members of the fire committee Of the
city council and on the result of the find
ings of the committee will depend wheth-
err the city will keep the new truck.
While the committee arrived at no CON-
clusion it is understood that the members
are not very favorably impressed with
the new truck. The objections made to it
are that the weight Of the machine is too
high from the ground, which will make it
difficult to traverse Butte streets at full
speed without danger of upsetting, and
the extension ladders are objected to as
being altogether too heavy n unwieldy
for quick work.
The committee will report at tonights
meeting of the council.

RICHEST BECGAR ON EARTH

The richest beggar in the world lives in
Russia, He was born without feet or
arms, and his physical defects have
brought him great sympathy and much
cash. Sympathy would be better be-
slowed if it were given to the army of
Industrious men in this country who
overwork themselves and break down
their health. These men lose their appe-
tites, and their stomachs "go back on
them" Their nerves are shattered and
they cannot sleep. The quickest way for
these men to recover their health is to
take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
is intended particularly for those who
suffer from any of the complaints men
toned. This remedy is SO well known
that it is recognized as one of the worlds
standard medicines.
