fspEcIAL TO INTER MouNrAlN.J

Sheridan, June 3.-One of the most
disastrous fires that this ncighborhood has
ever been visited with occurred last even
ing at Noblesvlle, about 5 80 o'clock,
when the two-story frame residence of c.
w. Broke was burned to the ground.
1t was some time before the inmates of
the house knew that it was on fire, and
when number of men who first saw the
blaze arrived, the flames were bursting
out from every part Of the building.
Two young ladies, who were upstairs,
had become SO frightened that they had
made no attempt to escape ana it was with
considerable difficulty that the rescuers
were able to get them out in safety.
BY this time number of miners, who
we're working in the vicinity, arrived and
made gallant attempt to save the build
ing.
In spite of every effort the fire spread
and in a short time nothing was left but
heap of ashes. The house WAS not insured
and many offers of aid were given to the
homeless family.
One of the miners took off his hat and
passed It around among the crowd that
had congregated, and in three minutes $I3s
was dropped into it for the assistance Of
the family.

Chicago, June S-Rioting broke out
again IN the streets of Chicago today, as
the result OF the packing house teamsters'
strike. Although great precauton had
beeh taken by the police to prevent crowds
from cohgregating where wagons were
carrying meat under the ban OF the
strikers, the attempt to move a caravan
OF = wagons under police protection from
the yards met with a conflict.
he rioting took place in South Clark
street before the stores of Irwin Brothers
Wagner, wholesale dealers, using meat
from the big packers.
Wagons from the yard were driven TO
these stores and were being unloaded when
crowd Of spectators and strikers began
hooing and interfering with the non union
drivers
The disturbance drew mob of nearly
1000 people to the scene The police who
were guarding the wagons tried to preserve
order, but were not successful.
Back Is Broken.
Two Irwin brothers seized axe handles
and, i'll company with the police. beat back
the crowd. In the melee Isaac Bean wa,
thrown down a stairway and had his back
broken.
passing street car overturned a pa
troll wagon on the way to the riots and
dumped the policemen into the street
A score or more of people were arrested
but were released again.
In other sections OF the city attempts
were made to move meat but because of
the large gatherings OF people TO watch
the trouble, wagons were put back to the
warehouses and unoaded.
While disturbances were going on over
the strike Of the stock yard steamers, the
ten big State street stores were seriously
handicapped by the strike Of 800 driv-
ers and conductors Of delivery wagons
members Of the National Teamsters union,
the same organization that is conducting
lhe meat drivers striks
No Interference.
The reason for the strike is a differ
ence OF the wage scale Of the stores and
an attempt to relieve the Fair, whose men
were already on n strike, by sending two
wagons from each OF the other stores To
carry goods
All the managers Of the department
stores held conference and sent out
joint ultimatum against the union and It's
methods
hey said they would brook no inter
ference between their employees and them
selves by organizers: that there had been
no difficulty until the organizers assumed
an authority TO dictate terms that the
wage scale was equitable and would be
continued in force as at present and that
the men would have TO leave their employ

BUILDING INSPECTOR LANES AN
NUAL REPORT GIVES A BIG IN
CREASE FOR FISCAL YEAR.
PROOF THAT CITY IS
l.. UNUSUALLY PROSPEROUS
Cost Of Buildings This Year Was 1,146,-
399 Compared With 1851 ,266 for the
Preceding Year - Detailed Report
Shows the Number OF Permits and the
Value for Each Month.

Building Inspector Lane has made out
his annual report and it is now on file in
the clerks Office. Perhaps there is no one
in Butte better posted on the progress Of
the city than he who must be consulted
whenever building is to be erected or
the slightest change is contemplated in
houses already built.
In his report the building inspector
states that the grand total cost of build
ing in Butte for the fiscal year ending
May 80, was $I,I46.38o. For the year
1901 the cost of building did not exceed
the amount Of $osI,266, making a differ
ence Of $Ios,Ia3 more spent in building
this year than last.
Butte Is Booming.
This speaks volumes for the steady up-
building of Butte. 1t contradicts the
pessimists who have maintained all along
that Butte is going backwards, and it
surpasses even the rosest claims of the
optimists who insist that the city was
never more prosperous.
Said Inspector Lane:
Il lind from experience that the cost
OF building is fully IS per cent more on
the average than the original estimate
ana this would make the cost Of building
about quarter of million dollars more
than the grand total given in my report
The school board expended $4,000
within the city limits this year, and the
city expended $4,000 more in making i'm
provements on city buildings So you see
Butte is right in the van of cities doing
lots of building and making extensive
improvements"
Showing Of the Year.
Following is the number of permits for
each month of the year past witn the total
cost of building for each month:
