RAIN CAUGHT THE RACE CROWD
Glad to Ride Back to Town in Open
Cars That Were Stunned by
the Gardens Patrons.

The rain last evening caught several
thousand people out at the gardens, and
for time the open cars We're at a dis
count, and some of the cars started only
partially full, even at the time of the
biggst rush for the city. When a closed
car hove into sight, however it was diff
ferent. A general scramble of men. wo-
men and children ensued. and in a sec
ond the car would be loaded to its full
est capacity.
But down on the flats, at thu race tra k,
the crowd that was Obliged to wait un-
til after dark for transportation to the
city, had no squeamish notions about
open cars. A partial shelter from the
rain even on the running board of car
was considered preferable to standing
room out in the sand. They stood on
the track, determined that the cars
should stop or run over them. They
swarmed into the rigging of the cars
stood on the seats, sat on the running
board, hanging on by their eyebrows, lit
tie fingers or any other frail support.
But it was late before all the racing en-
thusiasts got back home. The atten-
dance Of the track was the largest Of the
season. 81

WAS BADLY BRUISED
FACE LOOKED LIKE A PUFFED
WINTER APPLE.
DID A STRANGER A SERVICE
The Stranger Resented It-Walter
Getchel, New Arrival, Looking
for the County Physician
for Treatment.

A young fellow who had a face like
Tat winter apple that had lain out in
the rain until it had swollen up and
cracked open and turned brown in sew
eral places, was brought up from the
city Jail to the county Jail by police
man this morning in search of the county
physician. The young mans name was
Walter Getchel, and he had not been
long in town.
The business that brought him to the
city Jail in the first place was the de-
sire to have something done to his face.
good deal had been done to his face
already that needed to be done, and
from the city Jail he was sent up to the
county Jail, because the city physician
was Inaccessible when he called
Getchel had tramp-like aspect, but
the interest of the casual observer con-
centrated in his face. 1t was such q
face as is sometimes read about in books
ana seen in hideOus dreams. Had he
been f1oater, fished out Of the sea when
seven days dead, the face would have
supported the part The puffs, blood,
bruises and dirt suggested that he had
been blown up and fearfully mangled.
The fact was that he had been
Knocked down and vciously beaten.
Both eyes had disappeared behind puffs
OF flesh that lent his face the apple like
look, and just the least little strip of one
was visible. His tale was quickly told.
1t illustrates the rancorous hostility and
the cold suspiciousness of the world;
also the folly Of trying to do good to
strangers.
Getchel said that the bloated and bat
tered condition of his frontispiece had
resulted from a few knocks administered
to HIM by an unknown man in Craig S
saloon, on Main street, last night. He
was in the saloon looking at the furni-
ture and computing how much good the
money spent on steam beer in Butte
every year would do an orphan asylum,
When he observed a white thread on
the coat of the stranger.
With only good will in his heart and
the laudable intention of making the
stranger more presentable in good So
ciety, he reached out with his dert
fingers and removed the thread. At
that the stranger said: "Ha. know
what you're after" in a suspicious, hos
tile, resentful tone, and threw himself
upon Getchel and bore him to the floor.
Then he took a half hitch on Getchel',
forelock, and stretched his face out
tensely and gave it those knocks which
turned it into a winter apple
Getchel was advised to have the
stranger arrested, but he said that that
would not help his face. 1t is quite pos
sible that he missed the thread he
reached for and knocked a button off
the mans coat, or got mixed up with
his pockets or something.
County Physician Sheeran told him to
get an order Tor treatment from the
county commissioners, and he went
away.

the court went on as follows:
There is no complaint against Mr..

tions were very bad. This case has been

SA~ ~ANCJ tAA CO.
The recent visit of many of the r ,xas
Press association to Buffalo has brought
to light a valuable war document which
has been missing since the battle Of
Mission Ridge, on Nov. %, 1863 Man
ager A. B. Penfield was accosted last
Tuesday by a tall, solGierly-iocking
man. with an accent which betraye ed
his Southern origin, with a hearty, you
are Mr.. Penfield. are you nor?"
Il am" said the manager.
well, my dear sir, am Captain
Harry Lacey of Corsicana, Tex, and
with my regiment fought the federal
troops at Mission Ridge. I wish to say
your picture is very fine-exetremely
fine. sir, and I am glad to see the action
so dmpartially reproduced. I was with
what was left of the Rangers. You
know we, as an organization, We're
badly cut up at Corinth, Miss. Well,
Mr.. Penfield. your Red Star Midway
route is all right, and your shows are
superb. I shall, like all the rest of my
editorial confreres, carry back to Texas
sir, lively sense of gratitude for your
great kindness to us as a body. Now,
am going to give you a treat.
Mr.. Penfield started back with fright
as he saw visions of a drinking bout
and realized that the average South
erner drank as well as he fought. He.
however, was much relieved when he
saw the tall Texan unbutton his frock-
coat and draw forth from an inner
pocket, with care, a worn leather book,
from an inner pocket of which he took
a Worn piece of parchment, such as was
used during the civil war for general
orders or dispatches.
-
Unfolding it, the former confederate
captain said: Read that, sir, and tell
me if you realize what treasure that
paper really is?" Mr.. Penfield looked at
the unfolded sheet and read as follows:
