SCISSOR has been recommended by the board
OF equalization to make new apprase-
ment of town lots in the city next spring,
so as to equalize the valuation and taxa
tion upon them. ne board refused to
make any changes in the valutiCns this
year.
Yesterday was the last session OF the
board, and as the result of its labors
the net increase in the assessed value OF
property in the county is about 5000
The board refused to raise the assess
ment OF certain merchants $,5,ooo. as
asked by complaint filed with the board.
The dealers appeared before the board
after the complaint was filed and protested
against the raise and the board thought
the protest just.
While the board was in session, it made
a number of changes in the assessed value
of nearly all kinds OF property. Over
20 additions to the assessments on the
books were made of people overlooked
by the assessor, as TO personal property,
and there were about the same number OF
new real property assessments.

I hat Sunday Game at Helena Has Raised
Gall in the Respective Bladders of the
Stately Senators and the Mary Mac
Lanes-McCIoskey Says They Set It
Up on Him and Is Sore Accordingly.

Up to week ago there was always the
best Of feeling between the Helena and
Butte ball teams and carloads OF mutual
admiration" went travelling back and forth
between Manager John McCioskey Of Butte
and Manager Jack Flannery OF Helena
So great was the double loads Of ny-ca,ch-
ing molasses spread over the equally
divided chunks OF "hot air" that even the
fans got tired and swore by the shades Of
all past heroes that every time q game
was won or lost between Butte and Helena
it was a putup job
When Helena left Butte last time il was
with rousing cheers and good wishes which
swellcd the craniums Of the directors and
managers Of the Senators almost to the
bursting limit.
It Is All Over Now.
But alas it's all over now. Butte went
into the Helena camp week ago today feel
ing as though they were at home once
more and that the friendly rivalry and
gentlemany exchange of fast and slow
ones would be bunted to a mutual satisfac-
ton.
But it was all dream.
Helena had recovered from the shock
VI tHC SpI5ouC SoHnC oI lHOhC
rooters over in the little grandstand down
near the Broadwater natatorium got the
idea in their heads that the team put in
by Flannery was inyincible.
Then came those two first games Tues
day and Wednesday, which went to Butte
easily. 1t enraged the rootcrs and sent
the Helena stock way down. The attend
ance went down also and one day there
were but I8o people in the grounds. Hell
ena was disguised.
Two games went in succession to Helena
to the surprise of the disgruntied fans and
then the roofing began again.
"Say, those Butte fellers mustn't be In
it," was the comment-and then came that
awful Sunday game.
A Put Up Job.
In the opinion Of every Butte player it
was a put up job on the part of Manager
Flannery and the management, and con-
sequently there's a great feeling of sore-
ness against the unfair actions of the Hell
ena aggregation.
"There isn't any doubt said Captain
Zearfoss today, "that it was a scheme
Sunday to cripple us so we would not win
the odd game of the series with Helena.
1t was put up job to have policemen
| there ready to arrest us or put US off the
grounds. 1t was a lucky thing that Nc
Closkey had Dicky Knox In reserve or we
would have been up against 1t.
The Butte inter mountain., 1902-08-12

1--WE have never done anything to war
rant the interference Of the police and
there's no doubt that the slight excuse
given those Helena policemen for intcrfer-
ing was prcarranged.
AS 1t was, we won the game anyway
and don't mind telling you that when Nc
Closkey and sat up on the bus outside the
fence and saw our boys win / hit Mac
punch in the ribs which came near put
ting him out of business. 1t tickled us
to death. There was a whole lot Of money
wagercd on the series and the Helena pco-
pie tried some dirty work which didn't go.
They All Believe It.
Every man Oh our team believes as
do and it isn't going to do the Helena
team any good in the fu,dre."
Manager McCloskey is open in his state.
men,s that in his opinion Flanncry had
put up n job calculated to win the third
game, and the impression prevailing is the
cause of the lack Of friendship between the
two teams which have heretofore stood
together
Umpire Mccarthy has come in for Sc
we're criticism through his playing into the
hands Of the Helena aggregation in their
efforts TO cripple the Butte team. though
he insists that he was not aware of the
fact that policemen had been stationed IN
readiness to make arrests on the slightest
provocation.
Regardless Of McCarihy's innocence or
guilt, the incident has done much to in
jure him in the estimation Of the public,
and IL is believed tina, in the event of Pres
ident Lucas getting to Butte this month.
the matter will be made the subject of an
investigation calculated to either clear or
convict Mccarthy of completely in the
scheme
