pEAF-MUTE BURGLARS.

The lower floor of the two-story
 frame building at No. 473 Sherman
 stret Is used as pigeon-house by Adam Miller. The upper floor Is occu-
 pied by John F'ilsinger and his family l Between eleven and twelve o'clock on | Saturday night the seventeen year-old
 son of Filsinger heard a suspicious
 noise down stairs. Feeling certain | that burglars had design on a. safe which Mir Miller keeps on the lower floor, the youth decided to investiga te. | He tiptced through a back room to a larger apartment from where he could get view of the room in which was
 the safe Before starting on the jour- ney he had armed himself with a hatchet, and his intention was to kill such persons as he came across. A few beams of light found their way into the house through a side window and revealed to young Filsinger two men who weres landing in front of the safe. They had bar in their hands and with it., the young man alleges, were trying to pry open the door, They were so engrossed in their work that they loked neither behind them nor to one side They were making considerable noise. Filsinger esti- mated that he could sneak up on them and strike them with the hatchet, and with this in view he stepped lightly across the floor and arrived unseen and unheard within two yards of the men who worked away clumsily, but his courage failed him. He uplifted the hatchet, but had not the heart to bring it down on the head of either man. He stole back to another room and re- solved that the most prudent step he could take would be to frighten the men away. So, getting ready to run, he called:
 'Here!" what are you fellows doing there?"
 The two men worked on. They never even turned their heads. Filsinger fig ured that the noise of their own oper- ations deadened the faint sound of his voice; 500, in a. louder tone, he shouted:
 Get out of here'
 Still the prowlers worked on.
 Help Help! Help! Burglars!" called the youth at the top of his voice.
 And still the men worked on unhed- 1ngly. The youths cries had awek- ened someone up stairs, however, and this some one, divining that there was trouble, had awakened the elder Fill singer, who hurried downstairs in time to meet his son. The two men then went into the front room and walked boldly toward the alleged burglars. One of the latter turned around and saw them and in an instant both the intruders leaped through a window. MT. Filsinger wasted several moments making signs to his son. Translated the signs read:
 They are deaf-mutes. I know them both.'
 Report was made, and Detective Bei- ter arrested Harry Braven, a mute. Filsinger identified him as one of the two burglars. Yesterday afternoon De- tective Better arrested John Weber, also mute, and charging him with being an accomplice of Braven. Braven at first said he had got into the house by mistake, but later he admitted that he and two or three other mutes had to rob the safe, at which they were at work when young Fil- | singer discovered them.-Buffalo Ex- press. i

A Great Year for Butte.

IN spite of the efforts of many of its
residents to keep it in the mining
camp class, Butte is I city and is
going to be a far greater city than
most of it's inhabitants anticipate or
even dream of. The production of
Butte's mines continues to increase
with each passing year and the report
comes from highest authority that the
increase this year will be much larger
than ever before. The rise in the mar
ket value of copper mining stocks has
been uneXampled. In spite of the efforts
of a strong bear clique the stocks of
the Boston G. Montana and Butte &
Boston companies have steadily ad-
yanced. The latest London quotations
show a recent rise in Anaconda stock
from $3.50 to $3.50 per share. These
things can only mean that. Butte has
not yet nearly attained it's full growth,
! that it is only two-year-old as COM
pared with what it is bound to be-
come.

the people meaning business in smoky

they themselves create and they know
best how this can be done expeditiously
and with least cost. The order of the
court contains no breath of hostility to
the companies which are operating
smelling plants in Butte. 1t requires
that after a certain time these smelters,
like the smelters in Anaconda and in
Great Falls, shall be operated without
the accompaniment of an intolerable
nuisance. That they can do and it
can be done this year. That will make

Items Of Interest.

Too many fashionable patrons of a
squalid laundry in West Thirty-seventh
street. New York attracted the attention
of the police. And so it came to pass that
Hop Wah languid, mild hammered ORR
entail, was held for examination on the
charge of running an opium den. 1t was
the strange smalness of the bundles Ia
ken to Wahs laundry that first attracted
the suspicion of the police. Women ele-
gantly attired came in their carriages.
and men accompanied by their Wallets
were frequent callers.
A Lewiston man is advancing unique
idea for the next state fair. He says: Il
would build pens for the wild animals of
Maine and would offer prizes for the best
looking foxes, the finest Woodchucks, the
best looking skunks, the most vicious
bobcat the latest Maine black bear, the
biggest moose, the sleekest deer and the
most active coons. I would have every
animal that is to be found in the state of
Maine well represented there. I would
have family of hedgehogs, of wolves, of
rabbits, of caribou"
Two remarkable surgical operations for

who had fired four slugs into himself the
surgeon cut into the thoracic cavity, re-

case, that of a man stabbed through the
armpit, was treated in the same way.
Both patients recovered and are now
perfectly well.
