There was besides an additional reason
in the present case for dispatch. It did

THE F~IRE-FIGHTERS.
An Enjoyable Ball Given at Renshaw
Hall Last Evening.

The fire department of Butte is strictly
IN the swim when it comes to social fea-
lures. While Renshaw hall was crowd
ed last evening, the crowd was good-na-
tured, and jostled and collided and
bumped into one another without any
disagreement marring the conviviality of
the evening.
Chief and Mrs. Sanger led the grand
march. This arrangement met with the
appreciation of everybody, because the
lady is as great a favorite as is her hus-
band.
Miss Irene Mamman led the orchestra.
Like the famous sewing machine motto,
dated building between New York and
San Francisco, her slogan is, lead;
others follow"
There was one thing about tina ball
a good many people did not like, and
that was the appearance on the scene
of the fire laddies in their Sunday go
to meetin's." Some way or other the
blue uniforms and their silver buttons
were missed. OF course, the boys really
sacrificed their w comfort in order to
enhance that of their guests. Their
motive was good, but still, the blue and
silver miNture was missed.
Il wonder what would happen if a
fire alarm should be turned in now" re-
marked a young lady to her escort.
Taking her to the doorway, the gentle-
man showed her an arrangement that
caused several little "ohs'' and "ahs'' of
surprise and admiration.
An electric call box had been placed
at the left of the entrance, indicating all
the boxes from which an alarm could be
Jung in. the guests might not
know hen an alarm VAS rung in and
their enjoyment of the occasion marred,
the signal was arranged SO as to indicate
the alarm silently, and one man was sta
toned near the box to keep an eye on it
during the whole of the evening.
In addition. the entire city apparatus
for fighting fire stood in front of the
hall, the horses being blanketed and
cared for by some of the boys who
changed shifts"
In every respect the ball was a success
and the public win be pleased to know
that enough money was realized from
the sale of tickets for the firemen to fur
nish a first-class gymnasium n keep
the apparatus in repair for some time
to come.

A REVOLVER.

Jim Lee, who is only a boy, had a big
time last night and in the heights of his
enthusiasm drew a pistol from his
pocket and discharged it like one of the
wild men of the frontier. Officers Curley
and Matthews were on hand and took
the young man to the city Jail, where he
was booked for carrying concealed
weapons and discharging them within
the city limits. He told Judge Sullivan
this morning that he had done all that
the officers accused him of, and his honor
decided hat a fine of 500 would make
him understand the Importance of OBJ
serving the city ordinances Lee did not
have the ready money and was taken
downstairs to the cells.
