WAS Swimming.
F. j. COLLIER SEIZED WITH
CRAMPS AND DROWNED IN
THE BIG HOLE RIVER.

Coroner Julien returned last evening
from Maiden Rock, where he was called
yesterday to investigate the drowning of
a mar employed by the Utah Construc-
rtion company, which is engaged in do
ing grading work ON h Oregon Short
line.
The facts, as ascertained by the COR
oner, show that F. j. Collier and two
italians, all employed by the
went in swimming in the Big Hole river
on Sunday, selecting a point about three
miles below Maiden Rock. Collier was a
fine swimmer and pushed out to the mid
die of the stream, some distance from his
companions. In about, ten mute the
italian heard him cry out, and before
they started to his assistance he called
out a second time and then went under.
By the time the body could be taken
ashore life was extinct. 1t is presumed
that the man was seized with cramps
and was nab TO continue swimming
at all. as the water at the point where
he persisted is only five feet deep.
In his pocket was found a letter from
his mother, who resides at Hale, Pulas-
XII county, Kentucky. and the manage
of the construction
to wire her last night, but no such place
could be ound. Unless communication
is established with his people, the burial
will take place here. ~
Collier was 25 years. OF age and had
been with the construction company for
some time. "a

FIELD FOR INVESTMENT.

did you ever stop to think that Mon
tana offers to capitalists the best field for
Investments of any state in the Union p
said Frank D. Brown Of Philipsburg. 1.-THE
average Montana man of wealth does not
seem to realize this as does the eastern
capitalist. Much of the capital now being
invested in the state comes from the out
side. The eastern capitalist realizes that
Montana offers the best possible field for
sure and safe investments. and he knows
that nowhere else in the world can better
returns be had. In mining, in real estate,
in plans for the reduction of ore and kin
dred enterprises the opportunities for the
inventor are unlimited.
The old-time prejudice against invest
ments in mining camps Is fast dying out.
And why shouldn't it in a camp like Butte?
What does the proposed outlay of a mil
lion dollars more or less for the Washoe
snelter at Anaconda mean? Why, moth
ing more than the people who are behind
the enterprise know more than the average
citizen does of the great underground
wealth of Butte. They are not expending
large sums in a work of this nature for
fun or glory, nor would they place their
millions in smelling plants if there was the
remotest possibility Of the mineral deposits
of Butte petering out within the next few
years. Splendid as has been Butte's min
eral output in the years gone by, I believe
that 1t will have a greater future and that
the men who are putting their money in
1t will yet reap much larger returns"

NINE HORSES BURNED.
Destructive Fire at the Queen Of the
Hills Mine in Vipene District.

Word has been received here of the
destruction by fire on Sunday of the
barn and stables of the Queen of the
Hills mining company, i'm Vipon district,
about ten miles from Dewey. The prop
erty is owned by Ghas. w Clark, E. L.
Whitmore and George Mcfarland, of
Butte. The origin of the fire is unknown,
and SO far the exact loss has not been
ascertained, but it will be quite heavy,
as the buildings We're all new n con-
tanned a large supply of grain, hay n
other supplies.
A distressing fact in connection with
the blaze is that nine fine horses perish
ed in the. fire. It was early in the morn
ing when the fire was discovered, and it
had then gained such Roadway that it
was impossible ito save anything.
This is the second heavy fire loss chat
Mr.. Mcfarland has suffered recently.
There was no insurance.

Dy freight only by a country road. The
county commissioners, he said, were will
ing to open up Montana street through to
Walkervllle. and with this and the extern
sion OF the street railway to it, the town
would lose it's identity and become a part
OF the great city of Butte, an end that all
desired to see brought about.

g g;st by Mr.; Broughton, and to confer
erence to getting the road extended to the
town: The committee will also look into
the feasibility of building a new wagon
road to Walkerville.

brought before the meeting BY James

union depot, and a committee consisting of
Judge Speer, Ex-Governor Richards and D..

project.

One reason for the failure to muster the anti-imperialiSt strength for Will liam Jennings Bryan in the recent campaign was found in social timid
 ity and fright, to which masses of peO- pie are especially liable. Many a man who is decently brave when left to himself, is an utter coward when he finds himself in a frightened crowd, says a staff writer on d New York pa per. He will tramp down women and children in his frantic efforts to escape from a sinking ship or T burning build
 ing, just because he sees everybody around him controlled by the same sel- fish panic. And nothing makes people more selfish than a panic about their possessions. They at once cease to reason, and think it the safest course to believe and act on the most teIrify- ing things that are told them by any neighbor. This cowardice Of owner ship was played oil so well in the elec
 ton of 1896 that the republican lead CTS saw that it was Il good card for 10OO They laid their plans to rouse their opponents to give them the op- portunity by legislation on tine gold standard. which, as they themselves afterward confessed. was of no use whatever.

His ''sixteen-to- one" declarations were carefully planned for in the camp of his enc mics, and the minute they were put before the country in the democratic platform the cry was raised to scare the timid into the imperialist camp.
