Police Force.

For the past two weeks what appears
to be an organized gang of lead pipe
thieves has been operating in the Hudson
City section. 1t enters vacant houses
boldly in the daytime and quietly cuts
and carries off all the available lead pipe.
The vacant house, No. 4 Waldo avenue,
was entered yesterday and a copper boiler
and quantity of lead pipe were stolen.
A neighbor states that he saw three men
enter the building.
Numerous other cases Of a like nature
have been reported. Detectives from

description of the men. They believe
that the plunder is carried away in a
wagon and disposed of in New York junk

Ether Drinking in Eastern prussi

To the evils of alcohol are now added
the evils of ether drinking, which has
spread alarmingly in Eastern Prussia,
where ether is sold in the saloons like
any liquor, four or five gramrnes to the
glass In the town of Memel alone, it is
stated, the amount thus sold last year
was about $3.50 quarts, and in reality
twice this amount was consumed, the rest
brought in by smugglers. The effect is
said to be four times more powerful than
an equal amount of alcohol, but its con-
tiued use produces intolerable suffering,
and incurable lesion of liver, kidneys and
heart.

VICTORY FOR INDIANS.
Great Falls Won By Superior Playing
Other Games.

BY superior playing the Great Falls
team won the game yesterday from
Butte.
The homers worked hard but they were
unable to save the day and the visitors
got the game on a score of 6 to 3. Butte
made the first run by the
catcher, doing some daring base run
| ming. He got to first base on balls, the
next one he stole, reached third on Per-
hams sacrifice, and came home on q
pitched ball.
Principally through bad playing on the
part of Burke, who held the position of
third base for Butte, the visitors scored
twice and in the third two more We're
added to their score on account OF paa
playing by the home team.
In the fourth the Butte nine did better,
not letting the visitors in. Perham play
ing left base. led off with a two Dagger,
and reached third on a passed ball. Lock-
head, shortstop, was retired. Anderson
second baseman, stole second but was
put out at third. Thielman, center fielder
for the Butte's scored on a hit by Bissel.
This was the last score made by the
home team although they worked hard
enough to get more. Great Falls made
two runs in the eighth.
The score by innings was as follows:
Great Falls +. o 2 2 0 0 0 0 2 IS
Butte ;, Il 0 0 2 0 0 Go
Although the weather was raw and
chilly about $50 people attended the game
between Great Falls and Butte Saturday
afternoon. The home team Won out on
a score of 10 to Z. 1t was one of the best
games put up in Butte this season and
with the exception of O'Connor, who
PLAYED first base for Butte, it was err
rorless so far as the home team was con-
cerned. No rum We're made during the
first INNING by either side but in the
second the visitors scored three and the
homers five. then two innings We're pass
ed with goose eggs. In the fifth suite
got in three men and from then on the
J clubs alternated in the scoring.
The eighth inning was one OF the pref
test and the home team did some adj
mirable execution.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

At last Saturday nights meeting Of
the directors of the Montana base ball
league the principal business transacted
was the hearing of protests received
from the various clubs comprising the
league. Great Falls protested against
the game played with Butte on August
4th, on the grounds that Umpire Bren-
nan ordered Zearfoss out of the game
without first fining him, but the directors
decided to allow the game to stand. Hell

test did not hold however. the directors
deciding the grounds for making 1T was
not sufficient. The only protest sustain
ed was the one in connection with the
Great Falls-Helena game of Sept. 9Th,
and it was thrown out.
The championship games will be played

A large number of bills We're audited

President Leonard reported h school
having an attendance of p pupils. He
made a vigorous protest against the
treatment that had been accorded him
by the furniture dealer who contracted
to have the furniture for the school in
place by August Goth. and called atten-
ton to the fact that the contract had
not been fulfilled. and some of 1T was
coming in damage condition. The board
concluded that the dealer would no
doubt make everything right and the
matter was passed. :
The question of the qualification OF
students came up and President Leonard
responded that the examination required
was about the same as that set by the
School of Mines of Houghton, Michigan,
and Golden. Colorado.

CHASTITY SEARCH WAS
ENDED THIS MORNING.
Flesh Particles Only Identified By the
Clothing Surrounding Them
Horrible Sight.

The mangled and unrecognizable re-
mains OF Tom Kelly and James Murray,
the two victims of the mine eN-
ploSion, have been recovered as far as
possible and are now at Sherman's I'M
d~ertaking parlors awaiting disposal by
the coroner and relatives and friends OF
the deceased men. The rescue work was
completed this morning shortly after 5
o'clock.
The friends of Murray had hoped last
night that his body would not be found
in fragments, for up to that time the
only particles of clothing our belonged
to his companion. But this morning all
thoughts of that nature We're dispelled.
Murray was found under some heavy
timbers had fallen, was recovered; his
form by which he could be recognized;
only 4 mangled mass of flesh between
his shoulders and hips, across which the
timebrs had fallen, was recovered; his
head arms and legs We're gone. A piece
of his skull remained and portions of his
feet We're found protected by his shoes
and stockings. Every other part of the
unfortunate man was ground up into
the smallest fragments and was picked
up in pieces as far as possible and saved.
kelly's body was mutilated worse still,
but what was once a part of his form. 1T
is thought could be pretty we'll distin-
guished from the other man by the
clothing found scattered about
1t is the opinion that the men We're
some distance apart when the explosion
occurred, but both We're in a position to
catch the full force of it.
Coroner Julien had not made arrange
ments for the inquest at a late hour this
afternoon. but it will probably be held
tonight or tomorrow morning so that
the burial of all that is left of the I'M
men can take place tomorrow.
The rescuing party worked from two
ways in cleaning out the debris on the
.600-foot level, where the catastrophe oc-
CURED. Ii morning they came to-
gether, which ended their work. A more
gruesome sight was never looked upon
than that now at the undertaking par
lors.
