Anaconda, Dec. ga press dispatch
from Sioux City, Iowa, last night tells
Of the marriage of Fred w. Junk of
this city and Miss Daisy Jackson, daugh-
ter of the sheriff of the county in which
Sioux City is located.
The dispatch says that an elopement
had been planned, but that the Office
of the county clerk being directly across
the street from the sheriff's office, the
latter parsonage became aware of the
plot and he asked the couple to go to
his home to be married.
Miss Jackson is society belle of Sioux
City, and the attempted elopement Gre
ated quite a sensation there. Junk is
well known in Anaconda, although he
has been here but comparatively short
time.
He is employed in the general office
OF the Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany and is exceedingly popular in this
city. He came here about three or four
months ago and left last week to spend
the holidays in Sioux City.
According to the dispatch the mar
r!age ceremony was performed by Dean
G. H. Cornell of st. Thomas Episcopal
church in Sioux City.
The marriage is not a surprise to his
friends in this city, as Junk confided to
several friends prior to learning the

SUES FOR LARGE SUM.
Landry Commences Action for Dam
ages Against Three Aldermen.
Especial to Inter Mountain)

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Anaconda, Dec. 2-George B. Winston,
attorney for Sam Landry, filed suit for
$4,000 damages in the district court to-
day against Alderman Fred Gangner,
Dennis O'Leary, Chris Steurnagle and
Police Officer Powers, on the grounds of
imprisonment.
This suit is the result of raid made
upon the plaintiffs place of business
last Saturday night.
Police Judge Hayes held that the pro-
ceeding was illegal and dismissed the
cases when they were brought up before
him last Tuesday afternoon, on the mo-
tion of Landry's attorney. 1t was
thought at. one time that the city would
be made party defendant for the part
taken by Police Officer Powers in the
case, but it appears that the conclusion
has been reached that the aldermen in

HOW SMOKE EXPLODES.
Explained and Demonstrated for the
Benefit or Insurance Men

How smoke eXplodes in burning
building was graphically shown the Fire
Insurance society last night in it's rooms
by Underwriters Inspector William Nc
Dewitt. Mr. McDevitt set a two-story
building, about three feet high, on ia
Bile. Then he partly filed it with smoke
from pieces of burnt wood. Thrustng
in a gas jet, a smart explosion followed,
and a tongue of flame and smoke 10
feet long shot out of the windows. The
inspector also endeavored to make, on
small scale, what firemen call a back
draught, which is really downward ex-
plosiork of smoke through elevator shafts
or stairWayS, where there are iron shut
tiers, but the roof of his little house was
blown off and the smoke went up instead
of downward.
1 The inspector used only plain wood to
produce the smoke for his explosions.
arnished or oiled wood would, he said.
have been more effective, as producing
more and thicker smoke. Before giving
his practical illustrations of the eXplo-
siVe force of hot smoke, he briefly eX-
planned the causes of such explosions. In
fire, he said, free carbon rises and
mixes with hydrogen; methyl alcohol,
creosote and other gases are also pres
ent in smoke. These gases become heated
to the point of ignition and an explosion
is the result OF itself smoke would ex-
plode, he said at a temperature of from
GEO to 800 degrees, but frequently it is ig-
nited by sparks or by coming into con-
tact with flame.
When the smoke becomes ignited,''
the inspector went on, 1.-The interior of
the building is instantly converted into a
mass of flame. The Hunt Wilkinson fire
strikingly exemplilied that. When first
saw the fire great volumes of dense black
smoke poured out of the windows. Sud-
denly there was an explosion, and the
smoke was transformed tinto such flame
as l never saw before"
Very thick smoke when ignited, the
speaker said, becomes a pillar of flame,
and rolls through room with ouch
force as to shake the walls and make
the windows rattle. If sprinkled with
water there would be explosion.
Where formerly firemen tried to keep
smoke in, under the impression that it
smothered the fire, they now immediat ely
break in windows or skylights to let it
out.
Several ways of preventing such ex-
blossoms were described by Mr.. McDevitt
In large stores, he said, if an air shaft
of sufficient size were in the centere there
would be no lateral spread of fire.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

ZOO Much Postage.

The lawyers We're discussing the merits
and dement's of well-known membe.' of
the New Orleans bar who had bee ngath-
cred to his fathers, and one of the party
recalled the time when he studied in the
old mans Office.
We had a copying clerk whose inef-
ficiency continually worked the judge up
to point of explosion. One day wire
basket fell off the top of his desk and
scratched his cheek. Not having any
courtplaster, he clapp on three postage
stamps and went on with his work.
A little later he had some papers to
take to the United States court, and for
getting all about the stamps, he put on
his hat and went out.
AS he entered the office the judge raised
his head and fixed him with an aston
ished stare. The clerk stopped and
looked frightened, and finally asked:
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., sir?"

man. you are carrying too much post

SOME HOLIDAY HAPPENINGS.
It Is Easy to Make Fool Of Ones Self
During Yuletide.

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Anaconda, Dec. Pit seems strange
that the advent of the holidays every
year gives rise to more than the ordin-
airy number of ludicrous incidents. or it
may be that they are the more noticeable
from the mere fact that they are as a
rule unusually raw"
However that may be, it is fact that
Immediately after the holiday trade the
clerks, merchants and everyone else have
large supply of new stories; that u.s.,
they are supposed to be new.
The clerks in the postoff1ce or the men
working in the express offices always
have a vast number of strange expert
ences, If they have time to remember
them, which they sometimes do.
Several days ago young lady came
into one of the local express offices and
stated that she wanted a money order.
The clerk, who was not very busy and
wanted to be sociable, the more so as
the young lady was quite good looking,
repeated after her, express money or
der. "Oh, no, don't mind cried the
girl, "I'll take it right along with me-"
Apropos of this, one Of the postal clerks
told a story about the man who an
nounced at the general delivery window
that he wanted a letter.
W nat name!' inquired the clerk.
You'll find it on the letter." was the
reply. -
This story is not vouched for, because
as matter of fact it has been told every
year since time immemorial; but the
clerk swore that it happened again this
year, and if so it deserves place
among the old standbys.
One that is little out of the ordinary
however, is about man who dropped
two bits through a crack in the sidewalk
and not wanting to tear up the walk for
two bits dropped in Is cents more to
make it worth while, and then borrowed
a hammer from a near by store and
picked out his dollar.
One al good story of Christmas pres
ents was about young wife purchasing
shaving set for her husband and asking
the clerk to put in a package of court
plaster and some astringent powder. She
had evidently studied her spouse.
If people are to be believed, things like
this happen daily, especially during the
Christmas time, when people are not at
a responsible for what they do.

Professor Ludwig Morienburger
declares that the world is coming to
an end again. His explanation of
the phenomenon is that it has jump
ed its orbit and is careening around
in space. He says that owing to
this fact the Summers viii become
hotter and the Winters will become
colder till the human race can no
longer endure the transition. There
seems to be something mysterious
about this theory, but the average
man will not attemptto unrayei it. He
will simply put his trust, as hereto
fore, in the coal man and the ice man
and the established ways of Provi-
dence.
