IT WAS HARD ON SHOES.
Travelling Man Tells Of a Fishing Trip
Out of Anaconda.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Especial to Inter MOuntain)
Anaconda Oct. left 1 live to be a
thousand years old I never will forget
my first trip to Montana" said A. r.
George at the Montana yesterday.
II had just started out to represent d
large eastern firm on the road, and OF
course the first few weeks 1 nearly
worked myself to death. Later on
found that 1 did just as much business
by taking it easy, and consequently when
I came to Anaconda and ran across an
old friend who owned a ranch and
wanted to take me to the hills for few
days, I soon made up my mind to ac-
company him.
1T was in midsummer and was a..
tired in lightweight clothes, never think
ing that it would be extremely cold in
the mountains. I discovered my mistake
the first night out. I nearly froze to
death.
My friend. always absent-minded,
gave the matter no more thought than
l had, until he saw me shivering. From
that time on horse blanket was added
to my wardrobe, and I may say that it
was most welcome addition.
However,, it was not Of that I in
tended speaking. We arrived at the
ranch the second day out, and started
fishing early the next morning. We
tramped I don't know how many miles
over the hills, through rocks and bushes.
I do know that in about two hours felt
sharp pain in one of my feet, and upon
making an examination found that the
sole was nearly off one of my shoes.
II tied it fast with piece of leather
which my friend produced, and we kept
on. Every little while we would stop to
fish. It is safe to say that I did not
make much of catch.
I'm this manner my partner pulled me
around. and finally we got back to the
ranch house. The next day he gave me
pair Of boots which he borrowed from
one of the ranch hands. These made my
feet sore. and after couple hours of
walking rebelled and started for the
house.
1--WE started for Anaconda at once,
and the first thing I did upon reaching
the city was to purchase a pair Of shoes.
although I couldn't wear them for three
days.
THAT has been a good many years
ago, and my friend has long since left
this portion of the country. But come
to Anaconda once every year, and
always remember that little trip, my
first and only one into the hills.
Il always tell it, too, if 1 am for
tunate enough to find listener. It
seems funny to me now, although /
didn't appreciate the joke at the time"

pretty much Of stranger. We spent
most of the time at my old home in
Ashland, Ohio. The poole there have
not yet recovered from the shock of
President McKinley's death, and
don't presume they will for some time.
I'VE first heard Of the assassination
of Mckinley in Nebraska. Our train
had stopped at a. small station for a
short wait and number of passengers
got out to stretch their legs by walk
ing up and down the platform.
lone of them happened to be an old
telegraph operator and quite naturally
he stepped into the depot. He had
been there about an instant when the
conductor yelled all aboard and we all
had to run for the train.
'This one fellow then told us. he
heard message going over the wire
to the effect that President Mckinley
had been shot and killed. We couldn't
believe him.

could not answer them. We ran for
what seemed to US an awful long time
before we pulled into Fremont, where
of course the news of the shooting was
confirmed, although we found it not
fatal. as at first supposed. Everyone
was crazy till we could get the
evening papers and extras containing
full particulars.

Anaconda, Oct. 16.-Clerk of the dis
trict court, w. E. Thomas, related to
a party Of friends last night an amusing
incident which happened in his office
yesterday.
During the day young Austrian
presented himself at the desk for a
marriage license. The fellow had evil
IDENTIFY been in this country for some
time, as he had learned to converse in
the English language quite fluently.
after he had gotten over display of
bashfulness. He brought his betrothed
along with him and she was asked to
take a seat on the inside while the
necessary papers were being prepared.
While Clerk Thomas was filling out
the blank places and the subject of
Francis Joseph was imparting the de-
sired information. he became quite con-
fldentlal to the clerk, explaining how
1t happened that he was about to as
sumo the responsibilities Of family
man.
II didn't want to get married just
now" he said, "but I don't know how
I can get out of it.
you see they have issued orders
over at the shelters that only married
men can hold their jobs. I would lose
mine If didn't get married, and don't
want to get out OF work and have to
leave town. I don't want to leave my
girl either, so We talked it over and
we concluded the best thing to do was
to get married right away.
Its pretty hard luck, but then
guess we will have to make the best
of it. If I can hold my job guess Well
pull through all right.
''My girls mother didn't want US to
tie up yet awhile, but when we told
her how it was she said it was all right
with her. That is just how this thing
has happened"
Clerk Thomas smiled while the young
man unraveled his tale of woe, and
when he finished congratulated him
on his pluck, assuring him at the same
time that there was no reason to be
discouraged, that he would certainly
hold his job at the works and would
otherwise get along happily.
