BOYS EAT THE GARDEN TRUCK
Mean Game Played on a Rancher by
Friend VINO Had Drank
Too Much.

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, Aug. 16-One of the ranch
ers who makes a business of peddling
garden truck about the city was the
victim of an incident yesterday that was
as ludicrous as it was provoking.
With his wagon load of produce the
rancher had stopped on a side street
and dismounting from his vehicle was
preparing to make the rounds of his Gus
toners in the immediate vicinity and
take their orders.
AS he was leaving his wagon he was
approached by a friend, who was APP
parently little under the influence OF
LIQUOR. The friend requested a small
loan from the produce man, which was
gently but firmly refused. This, of
course, called for an argument, which
both men INDUCED in with great vigor.
Every conceivable form of talk was
used by the man wanting the loan, and
was as quickly replied to by the rancher.
The talk attracted a crowd of news
boys and street urchins, who gathered
about and urged the debAtors to more
action. The. rancher finally became
weary Of talking and went away, leav-
ing his intoxicated friend surrounded by
a multitude of small boys. After watch
ing the owner of the wagon out of sight
the man turned to the boys and with a
face beaming with good intentions said:
"Now, boys, you get right In there
and help yourselves"
In an instant the boys were swarm
ing over the wagon, taking their pick
of radishes, onions. green peas, string
BEANS turnips aud everything eatable.
to the intense enjoyment of the intoxi-
Gated individual.
All at once the proprietor of the out
fit appeared upon the scene, and the
scattering of boys was wonderful to see.
The rancher mounted his wagon and
drove into safer precincts. rs he dis
appeared around the corner his head
seemed to be surrounded by halo OF
blue smoke, and a sulphurious odor was
noticeable.

in the dark as to the merits Of the
proposition, so he listened attentively 10
the spat INDUCED in by the other ward
representatives.
/ Finally he rose to his feet, and, re-
ceiving recognition fom the chair, pro-
ceded to talk:
II am no Philadelphia lawyer, nor
anything Of the kind" he said, land
don't quite understand what you fellows
are talking about. I don't know where
am at exactly, and before I vote l
want to know"
Several of the aldermen undertook to
explain, when Mr.. McHugh interrupted:
mot one of you know what ;:u are
talking about. In the first place you
don't know what the mans name Is
that Is a sure thing. You cali him Kim
non or Keenan,, or something like that,
and that isn't it at all, ut ail. His name
isn't Kinnon or keenan,, but its Kineen,
K-i-n-e-e-n. I never saw the likes of
that. The whole lot of you are off; Go
you hear me?'
The house burst into an uproar of
laughter for few minutes, and even
the mayor, who had to keep his wits
we'll collected about that stage of the
meeting, was forced to smile one of his
characteristic smiles.
At other times during the discussion
Of the controversy Mr.. McHusn Occa-
sionally supplied his hearers with drafts

WOOD FAMINE NOT UNLIKELY
ForestForest Firss Near Anaconda
Destroy the Coming Winters
Supply Of Fuel.


Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, Aug. 16.--Dealers in fuel in
Anaconda say that in all likelihood the
citizens of this city will suffer from a
wood famine this winter. The wood that
has been destroyed by the forest fire in
Warm Springs canyon would have sup
piled the wood burners of this city very
nicely.
1t was the last chance, too, say the
wood men, for wood cut any later during
the season than the present time is not
in condition for the winter market. For
this reason great deal of the cord wood
chopping had ceased.
Those who have visited the burnt area
say it most desolate looking sight. Ev-
cry stick of timber has been burned and
the ashes blown away.
The fire was in plain view from the
city last night, and the dense smoke
from 1t covered and hung over the city
during the day. obscuring the sun from
early in the morning until dark.
There is no possible means of deter
mining the exact amount of timber de-
stroyed, but the cords run into the thou
sands.
Yesterday evening word was received
in the city by telephone that the new
fiume was in danger from the flames,
and rs men were Immediately dispatched
by the company to fight the fire if it
got too close.
Many cabins and houses have been de-
stroyed by the flames and many wood
cutters rendered homeless. Today the
fire is slowly approaching the summit
of Bald Mountain. where there is a
chance that it will die out.

THINK THEY'VE BEEN WORKED
Citizens Of Anaconda Bemoaning the
Los9 Of Dollars They Gave
to a Stranger.
(Special to Inter Mountain.)

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, Aug. 16.-There are dozen
or more citizens Of Anaconda who have
arrived at the conclusion that they have
been the willing victims of q smooth and
heartless fraud who has been working
about town for several days.
Few of the alleged victims are willing
to talk about how they were worked,
and several who had subscribed a dol
lar each to the game played by the
stranger deny ever having seen the
fellow, and in explanation of how their
names became attached to the paper
circulated declare that friend had
played a joke on them and attached
their names to the document. without
due authority.
Since the fellow came to town he has
gathered in considerable money, and
last evening he suddenly left.
The solicitor got into the good graces
of the citizens by telling them that he
was engaged in a religious work and
made a talk to them that the money
turned over to his keeping was to be
used to defray the expense Of the dis
tribution of pamphlets containing a
simplifled version of the Bible. The
books, he said, were to be circulated
among the homes Of the poor and that
they would be published about two
months hence.
The alleged swindler went into an
office in the Durston block yesterday
afternoon, but the head man OF the Office
was not to be landed so easily as others
about the same building had been.
The gentleman has always been 4 lib
eral contributor to the furtherance OF
Christianity and is ever ready to give
his money to religious work Of any kind.
But somehow the appearance Of the WIS.,
itor did not strike him favorably. and
he demanded to see his credentials.
The visitor became uneasy. but nnally
pulled out q letter puEporting to have
been signed by minister Of the COS
pei In Michigan. testifying as to the
honesty and integrity of the posessor
But this did not satisfy the business
man in the Durston block.
