third story. He drew his revolver and
fired several shots into the air and a pO-
liceman sent in an alarm. The depart
e responded quickly, and after being
on the ground for a few seconds, Fire
Chief Sanger. sent in a general alarm
and brought out all the apparatus and
every line of hose available was oon
playing on the burning building. The
water pressure was somewhat weak, but
after a second call had been sent in by
the chief, the pumps We're turned on with
sufficient pressure. The firemen worked
with their usual gallantry and daring.
They carried their hose lines up into the
floors where the fire was doing it's most
destructive work. But their efforts were
in vain. The highly inf1ammable mater
ial on the top floors made it impossible to
save the building m the fire1nen were
forced slowly back, and the chief recalled
his men just before the roof Of the buiid-
ing fell in.
The fire was checked after it had con-
sumed everything on the second and third
floors, but the groceries OF the lower
floors, with the exception of the canned
goods, were drenched with water will
be a total loss. President D. j. Hennessy
estimated te loss at between $50, 900 and
$50, 900. The property destroyed was
insured for 49,, 1000. Mr.. Hennessy esti-
mates the merchandise destroyed at $45,
600. probably more, the building repre-
senting the remainder. The insurance
was placed with firms represented by
Conroy & Morley, Reynolds & Mcdowell,
Passmore & Co., n P. A. Gamer.
The origin of the fire is a matter of con-
lecture. In the opinion of Fire Chief
Sanger, it might have been the result OF
defective electric light wiring or spon-
famous combustion. A large quantity
Of carpet paper was recently stored in
the building and the change of climate
may have caused spontaneous combus-
tlon in this material. There was some
talk of incendiarism but Mr.. Hennessy
said he knew of nothing which would war.

The killing Of Fred. CARRIER. a sheep

The authorities are reticent about the
affair. but it appears now that they be-
lieve that CARRIER. after being MORALLY
wounded by a bullet fired from a revolv-
er in Twins hands, committed suicide by
shooting himself in the head. irwin has
been charged with assault in the first
degree and released under bonds, to APP
pear Jan IL for preliminary examination.
The charge of murder aginst him was
dismissed. but if the evidence SO far Sc
cured is not c~ontroverted, there will be
little disposition on the part Of the Jurors
to impose any but the maximum penalty
for assault in the first degree. The evil
dence for the pros scution is a revelation
of awful suffering on the part Of CARRIER,
and if it is true, there will be general re-
greet that Irwin n legally be tried for
murder.

President Miller has instructed David
Marks, clerk of the state beard of equali-
cation. to notify all of the assessors of
the state as to the time of the meeting

One of the most important matters
that the assessors always haveto consider
at these annual meetings is a uniform
rate of assessment to be placed upon the
stock of the state. cattle. horses and
sheep. A large part Of the time of the
meetings Is always taken up with con-
sideration of these things. Last year the

Amalgamated Copper Must Sink
or Swim in Butte.
How IT WOULD SUCCEED
Boston & Montana Must be Brought in
and Heinze Litigation Settled
Today's Market.

According to the Boston News Bureau
the worlds copper interests are too big
to come under the control of the Stand
ard Oil and that stupendous corporation
realizing the futility Of its greater effort
will be satisfied If it can put a fence
around Butte n boost Amalgamated to
500 per share. The paper summarizes
the situation as follows:
We understand that the Standard Oil
people are very much disappointed over
their outside copper properties-Arcadian,
Elm River, Arnold, etc.
They are very much disappointed over
the difference between Amalgamated at
40 and 70 per cen premium bid, and 20
per cent discount sales, n they have de-
termined to lend all their energies to
making Amaagamated a success, h to
centralize A~malgamated efforts to the
control Of properties on the Butte noun
tain, and they hope to get Amalgamated
up to 500 per share in time.
They are, however, no longer looking to
Michigan, Canadian or Arizona prop
critics. the control of Calumet & Hecla, or
of the worlds copper interests. They are
determined to stop right on the Butte
mountain until Amalgamated is a sue
cess or a demonstrated failure.
Two things must be done to make
Amalgamated a success-the Heinze liti-
cation must be settled and at not too
great a cost; and the Boston & Montana
must be brought into the Amalgamated.
To accomplish these two things and in
crease Amalgamated's ownership of Ana
conda and Parrot, it is probable that
Ama!gamated stock will nave to be
