DENIES HE Is A FRAUD.
James Roche Indignant at the Interview
Published in Yesterdays Issue.

James Roche the deaf-mute young
man who came to Anaconda Tuesday,
called at the Standard office yesterday
noon and wrote on slip of paper, ask
ing permission to write something for
publication. His letter was in answer
to written interview which was pub
lished yesterday morning in the Butte
columns and in which c. Thompson al
legged that Roche was a fraud. The
letter was as follows:
ITO the Editor of the Standard:
Il wish you would print this for me,
as l have seen piece in the paper
which surprised me greatly. The per-
son or persons who are insinuating
that l am not deaf mute are greatly
mistaken. / could probably teach them
signs, as I graduated from the Council
Bluffs school with 81 per cent. The
person they mean was at the Leadville
house when I came in. During the
evening we had a conversation on our
fingers and l made sign that it would

ANACONDA NEWS.
ARRESTED IN MONTREAL
Two False Priests Are Up Against
It in Montreal.
THEY VISITED ANACONDA
Came Here From Quebec and Obtained
Money Under False Pretenses-Giraud
and Klepsky Are Their Names and
the Latter Celebrated Mass.

The two alleged false priests who
came to Anaconda on Aug. 1 and who
left the next day have not been as
lucky in Canada as they were in Mon
tana, for across the line they were ar
rested and are now behind the bars
awaiting trial on the charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses.
When the two men came to Anaconda
they went to several houses, where they
were given money. They also went TO
the residence of Rev. Father Toilet
pastor of st. Pauls Catholic church,
and informed the latter that they We're
out after money. An item was pub
lshed in the Standard the morning
after their arrival in the city, in which
it was mentioned that they were be-
lieved to be impostors. They left town
that day.
They went to Montreal, Canada, and
were arrested on Aug. S on the charge
of being impostors. They gave their
names at Peter Klepsky and Philippe
Giraud and claimed to be Syrians. 1t is
alleged that both men lived for some
time in Quebec. Canada, and succeeded
in obtaining several hundred dollars on
the promise of building Syrian Cath
Ole church. 1t is said that Klepsky
and Giraud remained at the parsonage
of st. AIMS church for two weeks rs
the guest of the pastor. During this
time klepsky celebrated mass three or
four times.
The Montreal La Presse, speaking of
the arrest of the two men, says:
THE information which we have OBJ
tained about Giraud, the Syrian false
priest who was arrested yesterday, and
the letters which we have received. are
not of a nature to make us approve Of
his conduct.
"A member of the Ottawa clergy has
given us upon the conduct of this
Syrian details which throw light upon
the whole matter.
Our Quebec correspondent te,e-
graphs us, on the other hand, as fol-
lows:
Your correspondent has just been
informed at the office of the secretary
of the archbishop that the alleged
Syrian priest, Philippe Giraud arrest
ed at Montreal, is an impostor. The
letters of credit which he has had from
the ecclesiastical authorities have been
obtained under false pretenses. Gil
raud has been formally and officially
forbidden to celebrate mass within the
limits of this diOcese.''

4 Big Blaze.

just before midnigh: on Thursday,
the jangling of the fire bell and the
screech OF the mill whistle startled the
sleeping citizens, who soon realized
that very lively fire was in progress.
The occasion was the burning of the
large barn on the home property of
Lucas Kells. 1t was brilliant blaze,
the fire having gained good Roadway
before its discovery. There were five
or six tons of hay in the barn, and it
seems that the fire originated in, or
was soon communicated to the loft.
The department responded promptly,
and soon had twopowerful, effectually
directed streams playing on the build
ing. Chief Perry seemed to know
just where best work could be done,
and soon had the fire under control.
The barn is in close proximity to the
Kells and McMasters residences and
to the How anC Sprague barns: but
fortunately there was no wind, and
the fire was robbed of its terrors.
The building is a total wreck, and
the entire contents were destroyed,
not thing being saved. Mr.. Kells
attempted to get in and release his
horse, two COWS and a calf, but he
was driven back by the flames, his
hair, eyebrows and beard being
badly singed. All these animals and
a we'll bred collie dog were burned to
death. Among the other property
destroyed was wagon, cutter, har-
nesses, barn tools, a carpenters
chest fully equipped, all the storm
windows for the house, four good BIZ
cycles, and a vast amount of miscel-
laneous property. The barn was
used as general store house for all
sorts of goods and wares which are
used and accumulate about a house.
The barn was good building,
erected twenty years ago by Henry A.
Mayo on the lot now owned by Alex
Tully, and was removed to the site
upon which it burned about fifteen
years ago. 1t originally contained a
number Of large cold storage COM
partments used by Mr.. Mayo at a
time when he was extensively en-
gagged in shipping game.
Mr.. Kells estimates his loss at fully
81. 200, upon which he has $500 of in
surance-s4O0 on building and 5000
on contents. The origin of the fire is
unknown.
The ruins will be taken down and a
new barn erected. The fremen kept
vigorous stream on the fire until
seven o'clock Friday morning.

On Saturday evening, as Mr.. and
Mrs. Lyman Kells we're driving west
ward on Fourth-st., near the corner
of Elm, couple of dogs ran out and
barked iercely at the horses. They
took fright and in jumping to one
side the strap which supported the
neck yoke on one side gave way, so
that it was impossible to control the
frightened animals. Then ran
fiercely two blocks, and into the lot
opposite the Minneapolis and Nor
thern elevator, striking a tree with
sufficient force to wreck the buggy.
Mrs. Kells was thrown forward
about twenty feet, striking on the
plowed ground and was uninjured
farther than being badly shaken
and Jared. She was confined to the
bed for several days. MIR. Kells was
thrown against the tree, and the bug
gy was overturned with Mr.. Kells I'M
derneath it. The horses tore loose
and ran away, but were captured with
out injury. Mr.. Kells was uncon-
scious, with several bad bruises and
cuts about the head and body. DR..
McMasters was summoned without
delay, and superintendent his removal
to the residence of B. F. Carr, whittier
his wife had proceeded him. A care
full examination developed the fact
that dislocation of the shoulder is
the only serious injury. Conscious
ness was soon restored, and on Sum
day he was removed to his home.
While the injury will keep him from
active work for time, he will not be
permanently injured in any way.

Nez Perces Lands.

Only 100 miles southeast of the fer
tile grain fields of Eastern Washing
ton, between the Clearwater and Sal
mon rivers, lies what was long known
as the Nez Perces Indian country,
only recently thrown open to settle
ment and mining. Since the early
sixties when $4,000, 900 was washed
out of the rich placers OF the Clear
water and Salmon rivers it has been a
tradition among miners that some day
great gold discoveries would be made
in the Nez Perces country. The enor-
nous cost of transportation, remote
ness from civilization and consequent
impossibility of carrying on large
mining operations left the rich quartz
ledges-the mother-lodes of the
placers- untouched. Almost stimuli
taneously with the completion of the
Northern Pacific Lewiston extension
from Spokane, came the announce
ment of the discovery in the Buffalo
ouup range vi IutncuSC iOuSCS VI
gold bearing quartz which, cropping
out above the surface, and twenty feet
or more in width, extend in different
directions for many miles. The rapid
extension of the Clearwater line of the
Northern Pacific, now building along
that river from Lewiston, will soon
throw this heretofore almost mac
cesible country open to capital, and
modern machinery with American grit
will do the rest. For fuller lnforma-
ton and a new map of this region
