telephone message was received call

Northern round house, located at the

The firemen made a good run not
withstanding the deplorable condition
of the streets. but as the fire was a
small blaze in the roof of the sand
house it mad been extinguished be-
fore their arrival.
The fire started from stove pipe
which was in contact with the roof
of the building and when discovered
had gained consid lrable Roadway.
Employees of the round house, how
ever succeeded in putting it out. The
sand house is small building stu
ated a short distance west of the

pose of drying sand for railroad pur-
poses.
A strong wind was blowing at the
time the first alarm was turned in.

JUMPED THE QUARANTINE.
William NeWboWer and Wife Receive
a Chilling Reception

a ChlIiln9 reception.
Word has reached this city to the
effect that Mr.. and Mrs. Newbower,
two of those who have been suffering
with smallpox at Bear Dance, forty
miles south Of this city, had returned
to their home, a short distance be-
low Big Fork.
A quarantine had been declared
and they were subject to the laws
which cover such case and not
wthstanding the orders of the coun-
ty health board they left the home of
Mr. Cramer and went to their own
home, driving the entire distance. Mrs.
NeWbOWer is said to have fully recOv-
cred, but NewbOWer was at the stage
where the disease is most contagious.
When their neighbors learned that
the NEWCOMERS had SO little consider
alton for them and had knowingly
returned and endangered them to the
disease there was a sort of an in
dignatlon meeting. A letter was pre-
pared, and was signed by most of the
residents of the east side of the lake,
which, in anything but mild language,
expressed their thoughts. 1t is said
by one of those who signed the letter
that Mr.. NewbOwer was informed
that, in the future none of those
signing would have any use for him,
in fact all friendship is at an end
The county health board have
been notified of the breaking of the
quarantine and will, as soon as New
bowers health will permit, bring &C.
ton against him for violating the
quarantine regulations. 1t is said
that Mr.. and Mrs. Newbower return
ed to Bear Dance after receiving the
letter from their neighbors. That
offense against the health laws and
the health authorities will not per-
NIT such violations to go unpublished

THEY CAUSE RUNAWAYS.
Steam Wood Saws Brighten Horses
Daily.

Another runaway occurred this
morning which was caused by one of
those steam wood saving outfits
which are working over the city and
which when moving from one point
to another keep up a high pressure
of steam which is continually blow
ing Off through the safety valve. It
seems to be the rule of these out
fits to keep up steam SO that no time
will be lost upon reaching new job
and as consequence the lives of
women and children, as we'll as men,
who are driving are continually in
danger. Few horses. when along
side an engine which blows off steam
will not become frightened.
During the week no less than four
r,inaways have been reported and all
alleged to have been caused by some
steam wood saw. Last week a resi-
dent of Columbia Falls was thrown
from a buggy and seriously injured,
escaping death by narrow margin
The carriage was broken up and one
of the horses, valuable animal, so
badly injured that it was necessary
to kill it.
If these wood saving outfits are
to use the streets OF the city they
should be compelled move through
them when there is little if any steam
in the boilers. Lives and property
should not he endangered" said a
r, ointment stockman just after the
team of Frank Wallace. hitched to a
light spring wagon, which was over
turned and badly broken, having DASH
ed up Second street, narrowly miss
Ing several wagons and buggies and
had been stopped at the corner of
Second and Main streets.
Mr.. Wallace said that he was stand
ing along side of his team holding
them by the lines when the steam saw
vas driven up the street, the team he
came frightened and he was dragged
quite distance. The driver of the
cawlng outfit saw that the team was
badly frightened. but instead of stop.
ping he kept right on, and to cap
the climax, just as he came up along
side, the safety valve let out a col
umn of steam and away went my
team"

Browning.

from fridays DAILY.
A peculiar accident occurred at
Browning yesterday morning. which
resulted in the death of one of the
Japanese employees of the Great

death under a stove and falling tim
Der in a bunk car. which had been
struck by a number of freight cars
run in on a switch.
The living cars was occupied by a
number of Japs when it was struck.

Immediately commence work at this

work for several subordlnates whom

further fact that the surveyors are

the grading of the road will follow.
The cutoff will be built whether the
road from the coal fields to Libby is

TREATMENT is GOOD.
Discharged Patient Says No One Need
Fear to Go There.


The county health board need to
nave a good word said for Them
said T. j. Luechen, yesterday after
noon. The patients at the smallpox
hospital get the very best of treat
ment. it is kept clean, and the food
is the best to be had. Those people
who have been exposed to the dis
ease need not fear being sent there
and persons who think they have the
disease and attempt to dodge the
physicians so that they cannot be
sent there are certainly FOOLS"
Mr.. Luscker was taken to the
smallpox hospital from the Conrad
house about five weeks ago and was
discharged yesterday. His case was not
severe one and other than having
the appearance of being flushed his
face has no sign of the disease.
His statement regarding the man.
agement is certainly complimentary
to the county officials, coming as it
does from one who has been in a po-
sition to know what he is talking
about.

WILL START FROM JENNINGS.
The Libby News Has Straight
Tin

The building of the Great Nor
thern road to the northern coal
fielus by way of Jennings is now an
assured fact, says tn Libby News.
Engineers are now engaged in sur
veying route and inside of six
weeks the graders will be at work
The branch will be built with all
possible speed. The selection Of
this route also means the complete
abandonment of the cutoff" which
has been talked of so much, and Lib
by will continue to be the principal
city of the western part of the coun
ty. The building of the new road
will also open up a large territory Of
undeveloped country, up the river
and around Tobacco Plains, and
much of the trade that now goes to
Kalispell can be diverted to Libby
if the local merchants only make

bid for it. While it may be lit
tie premature to mention the matter
the rapid settlemen and development
of this section may lead to the di-
vision of the county two years hence,
and in that event Libby will be the
county seat. The resources are
such that the population will be
vastly increased in two years, and it
is only question of time until the
county is divided.
The news of the proposed building
OF l..e road from Jennings to Tobac-
co and thence on to the Northern
coal fields. was first given publicity
through the columns of this paper.
1t can also be stated that this paper
knew of it for some time, but was
not at liberty to llvulge the infor-
nation. AS stated, work on the
road will begin in a short time. An
engineer rode over the route last
week and made mental memoranda
OF the topography of the country.
Now full corps of engineers are
surveying the route and just as soon
as they have made definite locations
OF the line another corps of engin-
GERS will begin cross-sectioning
Contracts will then be let and inside
OF month dirt will begin to fly
at great rate. jennings will be a
boom town this summer, but the per
manent prosperity will be at Libby.
The effects will be felt in short
time, and as soon as the road reaches
Tobacco all of the trade of that ter
ritory will naturally be diverted to
Libby. This is going RI ha fhic cuy,,
mer, the livliest town in Montana
and permanent, substantial and rapid
growth is assured from this time on.
