The DEVOTION OF KING

In this cold age, which esteems itself
highly for its ability TO snare the f1eetinc
dollar, there occur from time to time
events that recall the age of chivalrv. and
remind US that beneath the icy, iron-clad
exterior of life there are still flesh and
blood, still warm, human hearts. We
are we'll aware that some Of the local
gossips are inclined to look upon the dis
pute between Detective Norman King ard
Detective Hicks as a rather dissraceful.
petty sDat, quite unworthy Of the space
that has been devoted to it in the papers.
But we see it otherwise. Rising 70 the
surface Of this seemingly insignificant
dispute between the two of1lcers-the rich
cream as it We're of the milk of their
feeling, a trace of that devotion to ones
order or estate in life which was the
glory of the feudal ages. - ,...-
1t appears that Norm" King had APP
pealed for mercy for a gentleman who
had, unfortunately been arrested by OH.
Ger Hicks. The man was poor, humble,
outcast ''big mttt" operator. But in this
degraded being Officer King recognized a
member of his order-the order Of Hawks
or something of that kind. Instantly the
wells Of Sbrotherly compassion and love
surged up in his heart, he exchanged the!
high sign with the afflicted brother and as
became his sworn pledge Of fraternal al
legiance and fealty he appealed for con-
sideration; otherwise made a pull for

anyway, Of the supreme duty Of a mem
Der to his order, not only remarked that
he. cared not whether the victim was a

"a Ragged Hero ut the BijOu.

"a Ragged Hero" melodrama that sets
the galleries in a roar of delight, is the at
traction at the Bijou this week. For those
who like melodrama, "A Ragged Hero is
just the kind of thing they, would like. The
climax of the first act is a murder; of the
second, the daring rescue of little child
from a burning house; Of the third, hair
breadth escape from death under the wheels
Of an on-coming express; and OF the fourth,
the triumphant return home Of the hero, who
has been acquitted of a charge of murder.
In order to make good its right to the
title Of n-elodrama the play contains one or
two minor inconsistencies. For instance, it
is a little difficult to understand now the hero
could be acquitted In court of Law, for a
crime of which previous jury had found
him guilty and for which the governor had
pardoned him; and it is, to say the least, a
slight tax upon the imagination to be shown
the Preston cottage ablaze with fire in the
second act with no bucolic fire department to
come to the rescue, and then to- have the
final scene of the last act take place in a
room in that same cottage. However, greater
offenses than these have been committed in
the name of 1nelodrama, and the audience,
which cheers and appauds throughout the
play, is apparently unmndful Of any incon-
sstency. t..- .t5,-. Il
Yet, despite it's impossible situations, "a
Ragged. Hero is an entertaining show 1t
contains at least one situation that is novel
and well worth the applause bestowed upon it.
A house has been set on fire. In a second
story window little child cries for help.
The hero siezes hold of rope swing and with
it in his hand climbs to the roof of a near
by shed, whence he leaps into space. AS
the swing reaches the end of it's arc it is near
the window. The child jumps Into the hero's
arms and Is borne safely to earth. The rescue
is thrilling and well managed L..

lighter scenes and also succeeds in rising to

Strange Scene at Butte

Butte, Mont, July 31.-The most
remarkable display of lightning ever
seen in the Rocky mountain country
prevailed over Butte for an hour this
morning between 4 and 5 O'Clock.
The heavens were one continuous
sheet OF f1ames, without moment OF
intermission, and thousands OF peo-
pie were aroused from their slumbers
by the brightness OF the strange
phenomenon. Nearly everything be-
came more or less charged with cleo
tricity and many persons were injur-
cd by coming in contact with articles
connected with electric light and tele-
phone wires, even several hours after
the electric display in the heavens
had ceased.
Alfred E. Rhodes, OF Aurora, ILL.,,
an employee Of the Cudahy Packing
company IN Butte, was killed at .
O'Clock this morning by an electric
shock that came from a stack OF
meat in a refrigerator car. When he
first entered the car, he received a
violent shock by touching piece Of
timber He was dragged out by a
iellow-employe, and after great diff.
Guilty his life was saved. A short
time later he went back in the ear to
resume work, and touched a pile OF
meat, and was instantly killed.
A dozen or more people in different
parts of the city received severe
shocks.
