NEEDING A NEW DOG CATCHER
The Old One Was Energetic and Faith
full, But He Could Not Fight -.
Both Dogs and Men.
special to the Inter Mountainl

Especial to the Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, May 23.-Less than two
months ago the city clerk received a
shipment of fine brass dog tags direct
from New York and owners of all kinds
of dogs were notified through the news
papers to procure tag for CANNES or
suffer them to be jerKed to the city
pound. and after three days confinement
there they should be killed or sold to the
highest bidder unless redeemed by their
masters.
An energetic dog catcher was appoint
ed, and he and his assistant worked
lively for about a week and empounGed
several hundred dogs of which a great
many were killed but the larger number
was redeemed by the owners and pro-
vlded with tag or license to live
another year unmolested by the dog
catcher providing they were peaceful
and didn't break the law in regard to
hOWling at unseemly hours in the back
yards of lodging houses.
The dog catcher was ambitious and
prospered well for about a week when
some of the dog owners who objected to
giving up their dog or paying for license,
provided themselvs with clubs and
watched for the willy poundmaster
with large intentions to knock him out.
After an eventful week in poundmaster
life. during which he had a dozen fights
and received eleven beatings, he be-
came desperate and armed himself with
revolver with which he hoped to
buffalo all his opposers and take their
dogs as he found them.
But the first time he flashed this gun
he was snapped UP by the police and
sentenced to 80 days in the county Jail,
and his gun cOnfiscated forthwith This
discouraged him and he has made no at
tempt to arrest a dog since and they
have been allowed to roam and howl
unmolested from that time till now.
The colored dog catcher was a good
earnest and energetic worker, though,
and during his short period of operations
1865 tags at 50 and S. each We're issued
and the city enriched to an amount ex-
ceeding $500. This is a good record for
about two weeks work considering that
the total number of tags issued in 1900
was only 140.
"A very small proportion of Anaconda's
canine population wear tags now, and
1T is contended that dog catcher
should be appointed to enforce the
ordinance on this question and that
he should also be given the protection
of the police in the performance of his
duties.

Anaconda, May 23.-Yesterday's inclem-
ency of weather and the perceptible fall

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, May 23.-Interest in base
ball is increasing in Anaconda every
day. and if some good games are not
pulled off here this year it will not l.e

Earlier in the season the indications
were not suspicious for ball playing, and
when it became known that there was

We're at loss to know just how to
calculate on summer stock of amuse-
ment.
But few weeks ago two or three
Juvenile mines were organized, with the
result that enthusiasm was again
aroused and conditions were more hope,
full.
Last week DIR. Owens, who has been
base ball enthusiast ever since he was
old enough to know anything about the
game gathered together some of the
crack players in town. who are to be
known hereafter as the Regulars" They
went before the fans at Mountain

The latter are going to try it again
next Sunday. and will undertake to do
up team scheduled to come from Mis-
soula.
Bartenders Will Play.
The saloon men are going to tackle the
game just for a change, and will have it
out on the Gregson Springs diamond
next Sunday. The contest will be be-
tween picked nine from BILLY" john
sons Turf Exchange and another aggre-
CATION of select ball tossers from Hugh
Days place. The mixologists believe
they can play with as good grace as
anybody. SO have put up stake money
to the amount of SIS, which goes to the
winner.
The game promises to be an attractive
event for local sports and no doubt will
draw quite a crowd from Anaconda.
Jerry Flanagan has been chosen as
umpire.
The great coming event in the base
ball line, however, is promised on Deco
ration day, when the doctors and law
yers will cross bats and endeavor t.
show the others trick or two. DR..
Owen will manage the pill rollers ;"
nine and Hiram Rodgers, in all proba-
bility, will direct the side of the discl-
pies of Blackstone. Some of the law
yers however favor Postma ster English
for the position.
Hiram is an old-time base ball player,
and those who have seen him play de-
clare he is the proper man for pitcher.
He has faculty of twisting balls in
such manner that he will keep the man
at the bat guessing where to find them.
There is some little controversy over the
lineup Of the legalites.
Mayor May Join the Sport.
Hiram Rodgers declares he is averse
to playing if former Deputy County At
torney John Casey is in the game. He
says Casey is two awkward, and gives
that as his reason. County Attorney
