Leonard and the Berkeley. The whole
force at the Rarus also rushed to the
burning smelter.
Weigher Doolan had sent in an alarm
to the fire department by telephone as
soon as 1t was seen that the outlook
was serious, and by the time that the
men from the neighboring concerns had
arrived Chief Sanger was on the spot
with LOCO feet of hose. He was assisted
by George Lapp of the Anaconda fire
department and gentleman named
Herd. Hose was attached to the mains
of the Butte and Boston and in a short
time the work of fighting the flames was
In active progress.
The excitement was something intense.
Half of the population of Butte was on
the scene in short time and the sur
rounding hills were lined with persons
of all ages and sexes. Many of these
got in the way of the active fire fighters
and number Of casualties were narrowly
avoided. All this time the whistles were
screeching in deafening unison, drown
ing the noise made by the cracking
flames and the frantic shouts of the
workmen endeavoring to prevent the
spread of the fire.
j. c. Daigh, a mechanical engineer,
employed at the smelter, took charge Of
the work of directing the company's
men. and by his foresight and colness
managed to keep the flames from the
newly erected building, in which large
amount of new machinery from the east
had been stored. until sufficient assist
ance had arrived to make Roadway
against the fire. The wind was blowing
gently and in a westerly direction at the
time, but if it had been blown down the
hill there is little likelihood that the
scene at present would show anything
but IL chaotic mixture of black and smok-
ing ruins and wrecked machinery.
By 10 o'clock the flames had been
brought entirely under control and were
soon afterward entirely extinguished.
When the smoke had partially cleared
away 1t was not difficult to estimate
the amount of damage that had been
done.
The sampling works are total loss,
the boiler stacks ruined. the engine
which operated the smelter almost
complete wreck and the roof of the new
structure almost burned away. The new
machinery remained uninjured and the
blast furnaces and converters of the
shelters proper were not materially
damaged.
Several accidents, but none Of seri-

Gus nature, happened during the work
of subduing the flames and saving the
new machinery and the blast furnaces
and converters. Nick Swanson, work
man. had his left foot crushed by beam
topping over on it while he was direct
ing the work of operating hose from
the roof of the new building, and AS
sistant Master Mechanic H. B. Fletcher
was severely burned on the hands and
face, his eyebrows being singed and part
of the hair being burned off his head.
A number of thieves took advantage
of the excitement to ply their illegal vo
cation industriously, and one of them
came near being killed for his pains.
Dan McNaughton and Chris Wentzer,
firemen, and Robert Shoquest, work
man, rushed outside the burning buil'l-
ing and dumped their clothing and CT
fects which were at the smelter in
heap on the hillside and then proceeded
to assist in fire fighting. While they
were away thieves stole the clothing and
effects, McNaughton losing $40 in cash
and Wentzer $780, Shoquest caught one
OF the thieves in the act of rifling his
clothing. and, grabbing a heavy pi",'
of broken scantlng, rushed at him. The
man had already taken the watch from
the pocket of Shoquest's waistcoat, but
dropped 1t and mingled with the crowd
so quickly that he could not be dis
covered afterwnrd

his clothing and personal effects from,
the burning structure, and they were
lost in the fire. There was about 800 In
the pockets of his clothing, in addition
to a watch and chain and articles OF
smaller value.
During the height Of the excitement
several boiler stacks toppled over and
came near killing a number of venture
some people, who had ventured near the
building where walls that remained in
tact prevented them from receiving too
much heat. A boiler stack also toppled
over and fell on a coal car standing on
the roof near the coal bins, and would
have fallen on several workmen ard
thrown others to the ground, a distance
of 20 feet, had the car not been in the

Another sensational newspaper

out Of the fact that an intoxicate !
man was lurching along Massachusetts
Ave. Thursday forenoon as the
President was taking his daily walk,
and the man brushed against the
President. A secret service officer ar.
rested the man, but it is understood
he was afterwards released. A sens4.

In distinction from the trust he de-
clared that consolidation had for its
guiding principles the reverse of this

expanded trade by creating new ave

discussed the United States Steel cor

Shortly after the war, when 1 was in the

best in use at that time, was a Colt s
revolver. It was a six-shooter and loaded
with powder and ball from the front of
the cylinder. The bullets were round
pieces of lead and they had to be pressed
down close onto the powder by means
of hinged ramrod that was set in the
under side of the barrel. The other
end of the cylinder was furnished with
nipples on which percussion caps were
placed. Those revolvers Lad long, rif1ed
