DANGEROUS STONE ROLLERS
Lives and Property Menaced by
Thoughtless Boys Rolling Boul-
de1is Down the Hill.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, May 3.-There is going to be
some trouble out in the south part OF
town. That is, if the small boys do not
stop rolling stones down the hill from
the trench which was dug last winter
for the pipe line which will convey water
to the Washoe smelling works.
During the warm days recently a
crowd Of small boys have congregatei
along the trench almost daily and found
pastime in rolling huge rocks down the
hillside. Scattered all along the foot OF
the mountain are residences, and the
youthful capers have caused considera BILE
alarm among the citizens who OCCUPY
these houses. They are living in perfect
terror lest some of these days their
homes will be punctured by some of
these tumbling boulders.
One house had close call last Sunday
and had it not been for a slight elevat-
ton in the contour of the mountain side
one of these places would have been
struck; and as it was" the building was
only missed by about two or three feet.
The boulder weighed nearly 100 pounds
and it came down from it's former rest
ing place at terrific rate of speed, hav-
ing gained it's velocity while coverins
a distance of about 40 yards. Another
time some small children while out play
ing came near being hurt or killed by
one Of these rolling stones which fur
nished SO much amusement to the
youngsters upon the banks of the trench.
Mr.. f. E. Lyman, who occupies the
last house at the head Of Oak stree.
found a boulder whizzing past his place,
and 1t came mighty near crashing into
his Belgian hare rabbitry. He decided
at once to stop such proceedings, and
set out after the young miscreants, but
they made good their escape before he
could reach the point where they were
SO busily engaged.
The chief of police was appealed to
and also the officials of Sheriff Con.
ley's office abs promised to TAX.
a hand in the matter and will put
stop to such depredations in the future
and will arrest the first lad who con-
tinues to perpetrate such sport upon the
peaceful citizens of the south side.

and time and half for overtime, which
is just what the men have contended
for, yet the strike leaders have not de-
clared the trouble over or designated a
willingness to do so unless the union Is
recognized.
A good many of the men have returned
to work, however, regardless Of the
union, but since doing SO have been ex-
PEELED from the organization. There are
some of the cooler heads who have never
hestated to say that the strike was
ill-advised from the very start, but were
outnumbered when the matter was dis
cussed in the meetings.
The least that can be said is that the
whole trouble was unfortunate, coming
up, as 1T did, at a time when the out
look for prosperous times was never
brighter. 1t caused business men to be
extremely cautious and citizens to be-
come skeptical as to the future.

CHILDREN NEEDED A SCHOOL
Sectional District at Mill Creek An
nexed to the Anaconda
Schools,
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Anaconda, May 3.-Miss May Nc
Iaughlin, county superintendent of
schools, returned last night from a brief
visit to some of her country charges.
Some time ago, the residents of upper
Mill Creek who are included in district
"a. petitioned the county superintendent
to be attached to the Anaconda school
district, pointing out that in that locality
there are q children without school
facilities A part We're in the Willow
Creek district and the balance in the
Anaconda district, but not sufficient
number in either to establish school.
The matter was thoughly discussed,
and Miss Mclaughlin decided to grant
their petition. The change gives to the
Anaconda district four sections Of land,
and takes away one and one-half section.
A half section is also cut off from the
Willow Glen district
