BLAMEs The BUGS
MAN WITH SINGULAR STORY
WANTS COMPLAINT.
EXPECTED TO BE PARALY ZED
Charges Butte Dispensary With OBJ
tanning Money Under False Pre-
tenses-Believes in the Re-
cent Plague Theory.

John Anderson Is a believer in the
scientific formula recently announced by
the yellow fever and plague savants,
which runs. From the rat to the flea to
the man." and therefore he wanted the
OHcers of a Butte dispensary in this
city arrested this morning for obtaining
money under false pretenses" County
Attorney Breen refused him complaint,
but that does not abate the interest of
his story.
John Anderson is about 20 years old.
and he recounted that he slept in the
same bed with another man once upon a
time. The man was sick, he said, and
suffered stroke of paralysis five days
thereafter. The bunk they occupied to-
gether swarmed, John Anderson said.
with that distinctive night-roving bug
that infests couches.
Different Kind of Bug.
The flea formula comes in here. Only
for flea" read the aforesaid bug. John
Anderson, believing In the formula, con-
ceived the notion that the bugs that
marched battalion through the
bunk he and the sick man, afterwards
paralyzed, occupied, might have con-
tracted the mans sickness, so he said.
He conceived the further notion that
the infected insects in their marches
athwart the couch and their counter
marches lengthwise of it might have
communicated the sickness to him.
He reckoned that he had been bitten
many times and that paralysis stared
him in the face. At least, this he de-
clared in his interesting narration, and
there were eruptive symptoms, he said.
With these things in his mind, John
Anderson went to the dspensary and
told the story of his experience and his
theory, and he said that the dispensary
people readily accepted the insect for
mula Of incubation and agreed to treat
him for the sickness the other man was
paralyzed with for $50.
Given Some Medicine.
Anderson said that he paid the money
and took some medicine, and then dis
covered that he was not sick. Anderson
also said that an attorney he consulted
told him that the doctor in charge of the
dispensary had admitted to the attorney
that Anderson did not have the sickness
that the dispensary had contracted to
cure him of, and that he, the doctor,
knew it.
Anderson desired very much to have
the man who contracted with him ar
rested for obtaining money falsely. But
the prosecutor could not discover suf1-
cient basis for criminal charge in the
case. Anderson went away declaring he
would sue the doctor.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM JAIL.
Illness of a Wife-Beater's Mother In
duces Court to Show Mercy.

John Dent, tried Tuesday for beating
his wife and who pleaded guilty. had
narrow escape yesterday from Sc
we're sentence.
That he did not get six months in Jail
is due to the fact that his motherin-
law is dying and that his wife pleaded
with Judge Boyle to liberate Dent, that
he might be with the aged woman dur
ing her last hours on earth.
The Judge finally disposed of the case
by sentencing Dent to serve three months
and suspendng sentence during good be-
havior.
Judge Boyle severely reprimanded Dent
Tuesday when the self-confessed WIFE
beaten appeared in court, and intimated
when he told Dent to appear in the
morning for sentence, that he would be
anything but lenient.
During the night, however. the cOndi-
ton of Mrs. Dents sick mother became
alarming, and when she expressed de-
sire to have her son-in-law with her, Mrs
Dent appeared before Judge Boyle yes

Death Gulcll.

A ravine in the northeast corner
of Yellowstone National park, in
Wyoming, is known by those liv-
ing near by as Death gulch. Grew
some as is the name, it is ex-
ceedingly appropriate. It is a V
shaped trench cut in the noun
tainside and begins about $50 feet
above Cache creek. Apparently it
forms a natural shelter for the
beasts of the forest, as food, water
and shelter are there, but entrance
to the gulch means death to any
animal, for the poisonous vapors
that rise out of the ravine are
more deadly than the bullets of
the huntsmen.
For ages this death trap in the
Rocky mountains has probably
been Turing the inhabitants of the
forest to their doom. With the
rains of spring the bones of the
dead of the preceding year are
carried down to the creek and the
gulch cleared for the death har-
vest of the summer and winter.
The biologists say that the lavas
which fill the ancient basin of the
park at this place rest upon the
TANKS of mountains formed of
fragmentary volcanic elects. Cas-
eous emanations are given out in
great volume. These come, the
scientists say, from deposits of
altered and crystalline traventine
mixed with pools in the creek.
Above these deposits the creek
cuts into a bank of sulphur. In
the bottom of the gully is a small
stream sour with sulphuric acid.
No wonder the poor animals
seeking shelter in the gulch meet
death there.

Or kissed by ewes fast fading glow.

Your giddy sleeps so long ago,
And with the warbling songsters joined,
Or watched the stream which danced below.

Are mirrored still within my breast,
And with their memory comes CLEAN
OF early scenes-Of childhOOd's rest.
Methinks see you now, as when
My eyes looked back through yelling tears,
And babe adieu to brook and glen,
And the loved home of early years!
Since then I've stood where sunbeams fell
On many a brighter. fairer spot;
But still my heart was true through all
My native hills were neer forgot.
But in my happiest hours I've longed
Again those dear old haunts to tread;
Again to watch the springing flowers
Which bloom above the loved and dead.
neer may look on you again,
Except through memory's softened light;
But Oh! how beautiful to me
Comes back the vision of delight.

ISOLATION will consider the question of restricting
consumptives on trains to separate compartments.
This subject will be taken under discussion at the
request of the states along the Rocky mountain
plateau from Wyoming to Texas, particularly
Colorado where great numbers of tubercuar patients
go annually.
Whether any action will be taken or not re-
mains to be seen. Probably not, but any agitation
OF the matter is step in the right direction. In
all hospitals and in many hotels persons in advanced
stages of consum ption isolated, which is quite
proper. The patient does not object to it in the
least, and it has proved great safeguard. Why
people travelling for several days in railway carriage
should not be accorded the sanitary protection
those staying at hotel is something hard to
understand. Any agitation that will tend to put
this matter before the public in it's proper light will
be beneficial.

SIR THOMAS Upton appears to be another
prophet without honor in his own country-or at
least in small part of it. The tea mans employees
have gone strike, and part of their grievance is
that Sir Thomas afford to give away large sums
in charity and to spend still larger on his
favorite SPORT and still be unable to pay his men
living wages. The trouble is, for the most part,
among the 1900 men, women and girls in the Upton
warehouses, all coming under the head of unskilled
labor. These people work average of fifty five
hours week. and are paid from $1.75 to $40 per
week. This they claim, is not enough to live on
and indeed to an American it seems pitiful wage.
