ANXIOUS TO EXTEND.
Street Railway Tracks to Be Laid to the
Smelter.

Street Railway Tracks to Be Laid to the
Smelter.
Great Falls, May 19.-Superintendent
w. D. Dickinson of the street railway
company, in talking to the Standard
representative to-day, said that his
company was very anxious to extend It's
line across the Fifteenth street bridge
to the Boston and Montana smelter,
provided it did not interfere with the
line of the Great Northern in its pro-
posed change to this side of the river.
The extension of the line is for two pur-
poses: first, the securing of more trafhc
from smelter employees and better ac-
commodation to that portion of the pub
lie: and secondly, the avoidance of the
lift now in use at the Black Eagle dam.
In it's first object the line would pass
through Little Chicago and afford the
people there an easy method of getting
up town. Under the present conditions
they are obliged to walk across the
bridge and then over the fields to the
foundry of the Great Falls Iron Works
at Thirteenth street north. 1t would
be better for the people who live at the
works also, as they now have to cross
the river on the suspension brldge De-
fore taking the car.
The incline at the dam is built on a
foundation which is continually giving
trouble by slipping and necessitaing re-
pairs, and Superintendent Dickinson
says it has never been thoroughly sat
sfactory. The extension would enable
the company to entirely do away with
the incline. The latter could be rebuilt
in such manner that there would be
no more slipping of the foundation, but
that would entail cost entirely beyond
any hope of commensurate returns
from receipts.
AS soon as the Great Northern engi-
neers arrive in the city Mr.. Dickinson
will interview them on the subject, and
if it is possible to arrange the new line
he will do so. Great Falls would then
have very complete system of local
transportation, as complete as it's scat
tered nature would allow.

SHE IS FROM BUTTE.
And Was Very Cleverly Trapped by
Tony GrilIenberger.

Tony Gr1ilenDefgef.
Great Falls, May 19-She registered
at the police station as Rosa O'Grady of
Butte, and she certainly was sweet
young thing until she began to tell
Tony, the night captain, what she
thought of him. She came here from
Butte only few days ago, and last
night she thought she would go out on
the street to see what was doing. Some
of her actions were of the kind known
as indiscreet and Sergeant Grillenber-
ger. who makes the rounds in citizens
dress, concluded that it would do no
harm to watch her Consequently Rosa
ran up against him to her sorrow She
asked him ITO take her into the Stock
holm and fill her with beer but Tony
suggested that it would be better to
go another block to his room, where
beer was free as water, and SO she
went It was only when she saw one
of the patrolman there in uniform and
Tony was asking her unpleasantly mat
ter-of-fact questions and writing the
answers down on printed slip of paper
that she realized she had been trapped.
Then she was no longer sweet for she
cursed in a way that suggested an en-
counter between the rough riders and
embalmed beef at Santiago. Before the
court this morning she sWore that she
would leave town on the first train and
was released under sentence of 500
and costs This afternoon Officer An
derson picked her up on the street in
an intoxicated condition and again she
languishes. Tomorrow morning she is
likely to go behind the bars for about

FAVORABLE FOR PAVING.
A Special Improvement District Is to Be
Created.


Great Falls, May 19-Everythng now
seems favorable for the paving of an
additional section of the thoroughfares
of this city. On Monday evening the
people interested will ask the city coun-
Gil to declare the land bordering on
First avenue south, Second and Third
streets to be a special improvement
district. The paving, according to the
present plans, will begin on First ave-
nue. SOUTH at point IT'S feet west of
Second street and extend on that ave-
nue. to a point ITS feet east of Third
street. On Second street it will cover
from Central avenue to the alley be-
tween First and Second avenues south.
and the same applies to the paving of
Third street. The paving is to be of
round fir blocks. six inches deep, the
spaces to be filled with gravel, the whole
resting on a foundation of sand and
two-inch plank. 1t is estimated that
it will cost about 1870 per lot, unless
more expensive curbing than plank is
used. This improvement will probably
go through without a hitch, and if it
does it will lessen the eyesore of the
city, the bad streets, by just the ground
it covers. 1t will also undoubtedly have
marked effect in maintaining and
probably raising the value of prop
erty on the streets which it covers,
which, in late years, since the paving
of Central avenue, has been steadily
declining

KICKING THEMSELVES.
Three Great Falls Men Who Missed a
Chance at Dollars.

Great Falls, May 19.-There are at
least three men in Great Falls who are
kicking themselves hard. Any one of
them might have been $50 richer to-day
had he only stopped to think and it is
all on account of Alex Vannett, a ''nutty
man. with a glass eye On February
% he disappeared from his boarding
house at the silver smelter and his fell
low employees offered a reward of $50
to any one giving information as to
his location and condition. At least
three men say they saw him in town
the first of the week. but they either
thought nothing at all about the re-
ward, or if it did enter their minds
they dismissed the idea at once, be-
lieving that everyone must know that
he was here. Now he has disappeared
again and the officers cannot find hide
nor hair of him.
another he held a short conversation
pecting up near East Helena, and the
recognized Vannett as the one for
whom a reward is offered Probably
Vannett enjoys this mystery just as he
used to enjoy, when half drunk, putting
his glass eye on a redhot stove and
watching the crowd squirm in horror
at what they deemed a self-infiicted
mutilation. He has been in the in
sane asylum once, and his mind is I'M
doubtedly weak, and if he keeps UP his
queer performances much longer the
officers say there will be others.

Great Falls, May 19.-Among the i'm

for this city during the coming season
is the building of a one-story brick
structure on Central avenue, just east
of the electric light office It is to re-
place the two frame buildings now oc-
cupied, one as a dressmaking estab-

John Heller. The new structure will

had quite little money in cash and
more coming to him as wages from the

expense. His last adventure was the
losing of about $400 which Chief Guer-

without reward, recovered for him.

FOR THE OPENING GAME
Football Cranks Are in High
Feather These Days.
CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
Captain Wilson Believes His Team Will
Show Big Jim" Hooper's Men
Trick or Two in Grid
Iron Tactics,

The football men Of Anaconda ,eare
getting down to hard work these DAYS
IN anticipation of their first big game,
which Is now definitely arranged. ON
the 18th of this month they will go up
against the, big Butte team, which has
just been organized. The game will be
under the auspices of the Butte volun-
teer reception committee and will be
for the benefit of the fund which is be-
ing raised to give the boys royal time
on their return.
Big jim Hooper of football fame is
managing the Butte team this year and
tne local management completed ar
fangements with him for the coming
game, which will be the real opening Of
the season.
Patsy Sullivan, who has been away
Tor rev weeks, is expected back this
week and will materially strengthen the
local team. While the home team will be
a trifle lighter than it's opponents, the
fact that training has been going on
tor some Will be an important factor in
its favor
The Copper City boys are confident of
winning the game and profess to have
a card up their sleeves which will be
winner They have been short guard
ana just at this opportune moment they
have discovered right here in Anaconda
the Eastern football cranks. He has
just been mustered in, and the boys
say he is whirlwind. Just now the
local men decline to divulge the name
of their new find.
Wilbur, the California giant who
spent last year at Yale. is expected
back in Anaconda in short time and
it is not improbable that he will take
his old place in the line.
Coach Wilson is using all his energies
to bring his team up to the standard.
and expresses himself as much pleased
with the outlook. The fact that he
picked up a lot of green men at Dead
wood and made a team that played a
draw with Butte speaks highly for his
ability as manager and director. He
has great expectations of Emmons,
who showed up so we'll al the practice
game last Sunday. He saws he prefers
breaking in new men to teaching old
dogs new tricks. His system, while
not new. varies widely from that which
Montana teams have been accustomed
to employ. He has little faith in the
old line bucking method. which saw
ors so strongly of the pugilistic arena.
Loose. fast play is what we want"
said he last night as he stopped during
practice to take breath of air, land
men who will stay in the game all the
time"
1t will not be at all surprising if his
team gives a good accout of itself at the
opening game. +--.-..s...-. ....-.

ARRESTED FOR THEFT,
Two Young Boys Accused of Stealing a
Pair of Shoes.

The police yesterday arrested two
youngsters on the charge of having stolen
a pair of shoes from in front of ]. H.
Strauss store on Monday afternoon Only
one boy is guilty of the offense, but the
police are in doubt as to which of the
Two is the thief.
The boys arrested are John Conlon, 9
years of age, whose father is employed at
the lower works and who resides on
Fourth street, and Christopher Straiki,
whose parents reside at 907 Fifth street.
Each of the two young prisoners claims
that the other is the guilty party.
Strains place seems to nave a particu-
lar attraction for young thieves. and in
the last three months six boys have been
arrested for stealing articles from
Strains store.
On Monday afternoon one of the clerks
saw a boy take a pair of shoes place
them under his coat and run down East
Park avenue. He informed Chief White

A GENEROUS OFFER.
Charley Hickey Says the Margaret Or.

Very little business was transacted at

was a large attendance and considerable
discussion was INDUCED in as to the ma
ture of the decorations which will be hung
in the Turner hall when the proposed ban
quet is,served to the soldiers, but no def
mite action was taken. The menu for the
lunch has not yet been prepared.
Mrs. Dorchester the secretary of the
committee, read a letter last evening from
c. r. Hickey, manager of the Margaret
theater orchestra, in which he offers to
donate the services of the musicians for a
grand ball to be given for the benefit of
the volunteers, the date to be fixed by

was taken in this matter as the ladies de-

1.-THE GIRL FROM CHILL"
A Clever Farce Well Presented at the
Margaret Theatre.

A Clever Farce Well Presented at the
Margaret Theatre.
OF the same class as "Charley's Aunt
and my Friend From India is the clever
farce which was presented last evening at
the Margaret theater under the name OF
1.-The Girl From Chilli She was a win
some girl. and through the gallopins
course of the play won the applause and
considerable portion of the hearts of
the audience.
The plays lines are sparkling and the
action amusing. There is an absence of
vulgarity and horseplay. clean humor
and udicrous incident taking their place.
Altogether 1t is one of the best farces
on the road.
The presenting company is not so well
balanced as it might be, the chief weak
ness being in the role of Robert Light
heart. The programme announced Frank
Bacon for the role. but this was a mis-
take. as Mr.. Bacon appeared in his own
role of Doomsby, the one which furnishes
most of the humor of the piece.
Charles Mcclure was the Lightheart,
and while he is conscientious young ac-
tor. he would shine to greater advantage
in another class of work. He suffers u,l-
der the additional handicap of being new
in the part.
Mr.. Bacon's work was delightful. The
girl from Chill herself was well repre-
sented by Edna Fllsmere. a woman of
more than ordinary beauty and grace.
Miss Ellsmere in the second act sang two
love songs in a sweet and clear soprano.
Miss Fay Courtney, the charming little
soubrette of the company, with Master
Tate introduced a well-sung coon song
or two and cyclonic cake walk that set
the gallery bowling with joy.
Russell Bassett's ability as a character
actor was well exhibited in his capital
characterization of Mr.. Bullwinkle.
The audience was of good size.
