NICARAGUA CONGRESS.
Important Meeting to Discuss Canal
Matters.

New York, August 1.-August l was the
date set for the assembling of the Near
aguan congress in regular session. One
subject to come up was the confirming
of the decision of the courts and the OFF,
cial declaration of the minister of public
works that the time granted to the mari
time canal company of New York whose
headquarters are in New York, in which
to construct an i~nter-oceanic ship canal
across Nicaragua had expired and that
the concession to that company is null
and void
The N~icaraguan congress at the session
begun to-day is expected to take action
with reference to the acquisition by the
government of the United States of a belt
of territory ten or fifteen miles across
Nicaragua, embracing the approved route
on which to construct an i~nter-oceanic
ship canal. The congress may also init
mate it's desire to lave the canal fortified
or not, in h event that the United
States approaches the Nicaraguan gov
on the construction by the
United States of the canal.

BROWNS DEADLY WEAPON.
Charging Him With Draw.
ing a Revolver on L~azarovitch.

A complaint charging Herbert Brown
with the alleged crime of drawing and ex-
hibiting a deadly weapon, a revolver, was
issued from the county attorneys Office to-
day at the request Of George L~azarovitch
and filed in Justice Nichols court. The
circumstance of the case as explained by
Mr.. Lazarovitch, are that he had charge
of the property of the Pilot Mining COM
pany, located outside of the city, and the
property was attached for an Indebtedness.
Through a process issued from a Justices
office Brown was made custodian of the
property. The Indebtedness was settled
up and Lazarovitch Lays he then went to
Brown and attempted to regain possession
of the works. but Brown drew a gun and
threatened to shoot him if he persisted in
his demands. Lazarovitch. believing Brown
might take a shot or two at him, then came
to the city and made complaint.

COUNTY TAX SALE.
COMMISSIONERS DECIDE TO GET
RID OF PROPERTY.
VIII Advertise It for Thirty Days and
Then Invite the Public
to Bid.

At a meeting of the county commissions
ers today it was decided to secure from
the county treasurer deeds to all the prop
erty bought by the county at delinquent
tax sale from the time of the organization
of the county up to the lawful time of re-
demption give 80 days notice by publica-
ton and then sell the property at public
auction in front of the county court house.
The property to be sold includes lots
located all over the county and city. Some
are in the center of town and others in the
suburbs. The disposition of this property
has been a puzzler to several boards of
commissioners but the present one is the
first to take steps towards solving the
problem. The sale of real estate at public
auction in a place like Butte will doubtless
attract the attention of all those who have
money to invest. Consequently the bidding
will probably be spirited to such an extent
that the county will loose nothing on the
deal. From the time of the first publication
of the description Of the various pieces of
ground the work of sporting choice Sc
lectiops will begin, and when the sale takes
place each bidder will know just what he
wants, why he wants it, and how much he
wants to pay for it.

Dorney's trade or calling Is an ancient
one. For generations the professional rat

European cities. and in the Eastern cities
Of this country the calling is recognized
one. Throughout Great Britain, France,
and Germany the rat catcher is as familiar
figure as the chimney sweep and his fer
rets are generally kept busy. The ferrets
used by Dorney. he says, are tame and
perfectly trained. They were bred in Chi
cago and put through "a course of sprouts
as soon as they began to crawl. The older
ferrets, the sidewheelers in the business.
come to their handlers like dog when

out. All of the ferrets used in rat catch
ing are muzzled. This is necessary for the
reason that the animals would. after cap

feast that several hours might elapse be-
fore he thoroughly awakened.
After the ferrets are put into the rat

bright glare holds the animal seemingly
paralyzed with fear until the man behind

tongs. grasp. the rat and fling it into the
wide mouther sack that lies besides him.
Dorney has plyed his peculiar vocation
in nearly all of the big buildings OF Chi

was his oldest and most reliable ferret,
Jim. an animal that has been in constant
use for more than seven years and which
is as reliable and trustworthy as a dog.
No money could buy the animal, and as 1t
lay curled up in the corner OF its cage
its master diiated on its worth.
