Missoula, Dec. ga sad story for
Christmas time was told to-day in JUS
tice Houtchens' court by boy who had
been taken there to answer to a charge Of
vagrancy. The lad is only about IA years
OF age, and says that his Hatcher drove
him from home. When asked the reason
he could not say. The boy took all Of his
clothes and packed them into a little
sack and got as far as Missoula, when he
tried to find work. He is not one of the
brightest boys in the world and work
that he could do is hard to find. He has
been hanging around the saloons for sew
eral days, and Thursday he was picked
up as vag. The clothes that he had with
him have been stolen by some one who
took advantage of his being a country
boy, and all efforts to find them have
been unrewarded. This morning he was
brought before Justice Houtchens, who
listened to his story, and feeling sorry for
the boy, gave him a fatherly talk and told
him to return to his home. The lad said
he would, ahd it is hoped that he will be
received with more love than was shown
when he went away.

CAN'T FIND THE LEPER
A Vain Search Through the Chi
nese Quarters.
THERE is GRAVE DANGER
The Disease Is Easily Carried by Cloth.
ing-Much OF the Family Laundrying
Is Done by Chinamen-Author-
tiles in Quandary.

MssouIa, Dec. 22.-A1l day the Off
GERS have searched the Chinese quar-
tiers of the city in the effort to locate
if possible the case of leprosy that is
said to exist there somewhere, but their
attempts have thus far been fruitless.
! There are plenty of Cinnamon who
admit that they have seen the leper
/ here but none of them know where he
is, according to their own statements.
The service of the city health de-
partment has been enlisted and Health
officer Burger has taken part in the
search to-day. He brought the mat
ter to the attention of DR.. Buckley,
president of the board of health. and
the latter says there is grave danger
il allowing the case of leprosy to re-
main in the city. The disease is not
only one of the most dangerous, but is
also one Of the most infectious. All
authorities who discuss the disease adj
NIT that the readiest means by which
it may be transmitted is by clothing.
When it is considered that large por-
tipn of the family laundry of the city
is done in Chinese laundries, the great
danger Of the existence of the leper
AIMING this people will readily be seen.
No effort should be spared to discover
the location of the unfortunate China
man who is thus afflicted, and to Sc
cure his complete isolation.
The officers are making an earnest
search for the man, but the matter is
not easy to ferret out, as the China
men are not communicative. 1t is GER
| tainly dangerous to permit any family
| laundry to be taken by these people
under existing circumstances. 1t is
| the intention Of the officers to prose-
| cute the search till they have either
| found the man or proved that he is
not here. Every citizen should lend
| his aid in this matter, as it is one that
| concerns the entire city.
The county authorities are in guam
| Diary to know what to do with the pa
| tent in case he is found. He is not
| a citizen, and he cannot be turned
| loose. He would have to be kept in
| confinement unless the federal author
tiles would care for him. In this case
| the county or the city would have a
regular boarder upon its hands for
| some years.

The CHRISTMAS RUSH.
Business Better This Month Than Ever
Before.

BEFORE.
Missoula. Dec. 22.-The last OF the
Christmas rush of business has been on
to-day and will continue for another "a
hours. Merchants and clerks, express
men and postoffice employees, draymen
and messenger boys have all been on the
jump and have no prospect of rest till

reporters tells the same story-his BUSH
ness has been better this month than ever
before at any holiday season. One of the
leading houses of the city reports that its
business for the first two weeks of the
month was larger than for the entire
month of December in 1898.
At railway headquarters everybody is
on the jump. Freight shipments of holi-
day goods are winding up with a grand
rush and the shippers are anxious to have
everything sent out on time. The ex-
press office and the postoffice have been
crowded all the week and the crowds to-
day have been bigger than ever. In all
lines the rush has prevailed and there is
general satisfaction expressed with the
business of the week. Tomorrow will
end the rush and rest that Sunday will
afford will bring everybody up to Christ
mas in proper form.
1t has been interesting to-day to watch
the crowds on the streets. Every man.
woman and child has carried a package
of some sort and has been happy in its
possession Some have tried to conceal
their burdens from friendly eyes and
there have been practiced all of the petty
receptions that are the vogue at this sea.
