MODERN WOODMEN OF AMERICA CAPTURE BUTTE

There will probably be nothing said
about the timely comment that was
made by the governor Of one Carolina
to the governor of the other Carolina,
but the governor of Montana and the
lieutenant governor of Illinois will say
few things to each other at Maguires
opera house this evening.
The occasion of the meeting of these
dignitaries in Butte this afternoon is one
of great moment to the Modern Wood
men of America in Montana, for it is
that order which brings them together
here.
This is Woodmen's day in Butte. They
did not begin to claim it to any great
extent until late this afternoon, but they
have spoken for it and it has been al
lotted to them. Governor Toole and
Mayor Davey are with them, and that
presumably means that they have the
natialal guard and the police force be-
hind ehem.
The four camps of the order in Butte
and one in Anaconda are especially in
terested in the celebration today. The
order of the day was taken up late this
afternoon, when Governor Toole and
other members Of the organization ar
rived from Helena, where great cele-
bration was held.
In the party that arrived from Helena
were w. A. Northcott, lieutenant gover-
nor Of Illinois and head consul of the
order; c. w. Hawes of Rock Island,
ILL.,, head clerk of the order; Head
Physician s. r. Leard, State Deputy
w. c. Austin of Anaconda, G. NJ. Roe
Of Butte and others. Mr.. Roe is chair
man of the joint Butte and Anaconda
committee on arrangements.
Delegates from the Butte camps met
the visitors at the depot and escorted
them to the Thornton hotel, where re-
ception is now being held. The idea
of the reception is to give the members
Of the order here chance to meet it's
high officials personally.
At o'clock this evening the men,
bers of the order will form at the Thorn
ton hotel for a parade to the depot to
meet the Anaconda delegation, which is
coming over on q special train.
At the head Of the procession Head
Consul Northcott, Head Clerk Hawes,
Governor Toole, Mayor Davey and others
will ride in carriages, followed by the
uniformed Forester teams of the camps
here. The Anaconda delegation will
bring with it the Anaconda band.
On it's return from the depot the pro-
cession will march up to Park street;
thence to Broadway and on to Maguire's
Grand opera house. where addresses Of
welcome will be delivered by Governor
Toole and Mayor Davey. Responses will
be made by Messrs. Northcott and
Hawes.
The members of the joint committee
on entertainment in Butte are as fol-

a few words to the husband whose voice
was forever stilled. When no answer
came, dazed expression passed over the
features of the wife. Her hands were
clasped as il in prayer, but no further
sound was emitted from her lips.
With the dull gaze of one bereft of the
senses she stood looking at the features,
strange in the embrace of death. To
those who spoke to her at last, unable
to further witness the dumb agony, she
gave no word.
A kindly touch on her arm was roughly
shaken off. and it was not until she was
pushed gently from the room that the
wife awoke to her real situation. Then
with almost incoherent words she begged

Unable to tell where she lived Mrs.
Mango could only call for the one friend
of her husband she knew by name--a

From the urdertakers report it was

from small cabin in Arizona alley.
back of the Missoula hotel. The patrol
wagon was called into service and the
woman was taken back to her deso.ate
home.
From neighbors in the poverty stricken
row of cabins It was learned that Mango
and his wife had come to Butte last
spring from the mountains. They were
originally from France. and the woman
never left her house.
Two children had but recently died.
and the husband was stricken down with

AT the undertakers up TO late hour

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. S.--Forty
mounted guards are beating the country
for a radius of five miles around the
federal penitentiary today in search of
the 26 convicts who succeeded in es-
Gaping from the guards yesterday.
The country is wild and rough, and
affords ample opportunity for escape and
as all the convicts are desperate men,
armed conflicts will doubtless result be-
fore they are captured.
The net known result of the mutiny
and the following fight with the guards
was one convict killed and four guards
shot or otherwise hurt, but it is be-
lieved that many of the fleeing conv;cts
received wounds more or less serious
from the bullets sent after them by pur-
suing guards.
The Deaa and Wounded.
The dead:
QUINN FORT, a desperate from the
Indian Territory, who is believed to
have been the ring leader.
Wounded:
Joseph b. Waldrupe, prison guard shot
in forehead and breast, condition still
critical.
Arthur Trelford, captain of guard, shot
in leg, not serious.
c. E. Burrows, guard, shot In neck,
slight.
Andrew Leonard, guard. leg broken.
1t develops that the mutiny was
hatched several months ago. but that
the men had never found favc:ah.c
opportunity to carry 1t into effect ..as.l
yesterday.
The general plan was not new, but
1t proved effective because Of the limited
number Of guards. A. the better be-
baved prisoners are used In the out.

one of our best men, and am sure he
did his duty.
THE reason for the escape of the pris-
oners I believe to be the small number
of guards available. Our appropriation
is not sufficient to warrant the employ
ment Of more guards, but I hope that
at the next session of congress we will
be allowed more. We should have nearly
twice as many as we have"

Ths 1901 assessed valuation and tax
are estimated The difference in the
amounts derived for different years Is
due to the levies made. Up to 1896 the
greatest levy made for county purposes
was Ills mills. but since then the levy
has been as high as Il mills. or course.
the valuation has been much lower OF
late years, SO the levy was higher. The
reduction in the valuation was made
necessary by the action OF Multnomah
county, which, with rare enterprise. re-
duced it's valuation and permitted other
counties to bear part OF its share of the
burden OF maintaining the state govern
ment. Mul.nomah's coup. while decid-
edly unique and original. did not long
remain unseen, and, along with other
good communities, Clatsop, too. came
down on the valuation, though increas-
ing the levy so the amount derived
for local purposes would not be lessened.
Now a new system Of state taxation has
been arranged, each county paying its
share on a percentage basis, and there is
no need for low valuations Indeed.
It Is generally considered good policy
to keep up the valuation and reduce the
levy to the minimum.
The county records show that the city
has had some stormy times In the mat
ter Of tax levies. Everything went
smoothly up to 1890. In those days the
city made and collected its own levy,
and also fixed the valuation. In 1890 the
assessed valuation in the city was S4,-
42s, ,lO6, or about 81. 100000 more than the
assessed valuation In the entire coun-
ty at the present time, In 1891 the tax
roll disappeared and in 1892 there was
double assessment. The assessed val
uation was placed at ss.5SOSs4 and a
levy Of is mills was made. Il netted
