BLED NEARLY TO DEATH.
Considerable Mystery Surrounds the Case
OF j mes ID. Brennan.

Considerable Mystery Surrounds the Case
OF Jtmes ID. Brennan.
Considerable mystery surrounds the
case of James d. Brennan, who ap-
peared at the Sisters hospital at an
early hour yesterday morning with a
frightful cash in his head from which
he lost 50 much blood that it was
thought at one time it would be the
death of him.
Brennan arrived at the hospital not
long before daylight. The night nurse
heard vehicle of some kind, presum-
ably hack, drive up to the hospi al
door and then heard it drive away. A
few minutes later he heard the door
bell ring and, going down, found Bren-
nan at the door Assisted by the nurse,
Brennan got up stairs to the dressing
room, where he dropped across the
dressing table in a faint. The nurse
hurriedly summoned assistance and
got the man on the table and applied
restoratives while DR.. Alexander, who
had been telephoned, was coming. Be
fore Dr. Alexander arrived and sue
cecded in checking the flow of blood
Brennan lost so much blood that those
about him thought he would never re-
yiye
Some time after Brennan was dressed
and placed in a ward he recovered con-
seriousness, but it was some time before
he could be induced to say anything as
to how he got hurt. Then he sad he
was out in his door yard about o'clock
at night and had his little child in his
arms when some one came UP and dealt
him terrific blow from behind
Not much credence was placed In the
story, however, for the reason tina
Brennan was only discharged from the
hospital eight days ago, after having
been in the hospital for more than d
month with a broken leg he got in an
accident in one of the mines, ard Re is
still on crutches and would find it
pretty difficult to walk on crutchas
and carry child. His having his child
in his arms out in the yard at 1 o'clock
in the morning also sounded rather in
credible, and IL is thought that the re-
port that Brennan had trouble with a
person he is known to be on bad terms
with at times is nearer the correct ex-
PLANTATION as to how he got hurt.

AT A TERRIFIC GAIT.
Three Big Plate Glass Windows Demol-

There was intense excitement at the
Hennessy corner yesterday afternoon
about o'clock. 1t was a disastrous
adventure for a horse A team of
horses belonging to Pat O'Donnell Of
VAUDEVILLE took fright a few blocks
above Granite street and they ran
down Main at a terrific gait. One of
them broke away and ran into the big
plate glass windows on the Granite
street side of the Hennessy store, de-
molishing three of them.
In the crash the animal broke a leg
and cut its head and body. A large
crowd soon collected and Officer Foley

FA|REST Of THE MONTH
It Was an Ideal Christmas, All
but the Snow.
AN IMMENSE BUSINESS
The Great Bulk OF the Sales Represen ted
Cash-Frighttui Jams in the
Stores-Ali the Churches
Crowded.

The day before Christmas was one
of the fairest of the month Of Deem
Der. The sun shone out in flood of
warmth and the few clouds that were
scattered over the sky seemed to be
trying to get out Of the way to make
the day brighter and fairer. Men stood
on the sidewalks in their summer
clothes and in the middle of the day
but few overcrats were seen. It was
a quiet day compared to the busy day
before, when it looked as if every per-
son in Butte was out and hustIing.
There were few ladies to be seen, as
they were no doubt at hpnne busily
arranging the trees and the stockings
preparatory to the great surprise party
for the young folks this morning.
Several of the stores were unable to
deliver all the goods sold Saturday
night, SO the drivers had to put in half
a day yesterday delivering the goods
which the rush of the night before pre-
vented from being sent out then. The
afternoon, however, was a quiet time
in this city.-it was an ideal Christmas
eve, all but the snow.
The clerks of this city deserve the
two days layoff they are enjoying, for
they have been the hardest worked
people in the city for the past two
weeks. Especially hard did they work
the last two days of tire week. 1t was
the busiest two days that ever preceded
a Christmas in this city. The mer-
chants tell 1t that Friday and Satur-
day were the biggest retail days of the
year. One prominent house reports
sales for Saturday at So 500 larger than
those of the corresponding date year
ago. And what makes 1t so very in
teresting is the fact that the great
bulk Of the sales represented cash out
right. 1t Is not an exaggeration to
say that in several instances ladies
tainted Saturday afternoon and even
ing from the effects of the crush in
scme of the stores. One lady went into
a toy store with her two little girls.
They were separated in the crowd, and
1t was seven hours later when her
children were returned to her at the
family residence.
Yesterday was brilliant ds~ In the

and the children particularly Were CIV

vices were most impressive and inter-

bled midsummer gathering. A num-

street and shot. The first shot from

Another shot was fired, but this only

crowd did grow. People rushed from
all parts of the town to see who had
been killed and to learn all about the

There was lively row at the Casino
theater yesterday morning, in which a
miner who was il his cups got a good
deal the worst of it, as he was not only
badly beaten up but got arrested while
those who did the beating were allowed to
escape The fellow was pretty well in
toxicated, and when one of the painted
box rustlers ordered a bottle of beer
without his sanction he refused ia nav
for it. The bouncers of the place were
called, and while one held him, dutch

him in the face with his fists, and not

81 never saw diver at work but once
In my life," said an experienced bridge
contractor who now resides in New Or
leans, "but the occasion is impressed on
my mind by reason Of a highly dramatic
incident. I had contract for a bit Of
trestlework at Port Tampa and hired a
well known diver named Tom Wallace to
locate some Instructions in about 80 feet
Of water. He brought his own outfit and
helpers and worked from over the side OF
a fiatbOat anchored above the right spot
On the second or third day went out
through mere curiosity to watch him.
The air pumps and pressure cylinders
were on the bottom of the boat, and Mt
tached to the side was rope ladder on
which he descended. The signal cord and
the heavy rubber tube that supplied him
with air were looked after by boy, and
a man attended to the pump. AfterhWal-
lace had been down for a few moments
the pump man was called over to the
dock for something or other and left the
apparatus in charge of the boy.
"At that time everything was going all
right, hut presently the signal cord gave
three or four tremendous jerks, and l
saw the end of the rope ladder suddenly
pull taut. The boy Immediately lost his
head. He jumped for the pump. tried to
open valve and then began to bawl for
the other helper, while l stood there
speechless, not knowing what had hap.
pened or what to do. The next thing
knew Wallace rose up out Of the water,
looking like some horrible marine mon
ster in his clumsy diving armor. lifted
himself heavily over the side and fell
sprawling on the deck. The boy ran to
him and began to unscrew the nuts that
held on his helmet, but his hands were
trembling so violently that he made slow
progress, and, acting on sort of inspira-
ton, snatched up Ratchet and smash
ed the face glass. The sharp splinters
cut Wallace severely about the cheeks
and nose, but the blow saved his life.
We found out afterward that the valve
at the lower end of the air tube had be-
come clogged, and in ten seconds more he
would certainly have died of suffocation.
The first thing he did when he came to
was to lick the helper and discharge the
boy. Next day he was working as IL
