STATE HERDS ON WAY
SOUTH CAPTURE BUTTE
City Is Mass OF Purple in Honor Of Men
Passing Notwithstanding Of the
Grand Parade at Salt Lake-Where
the Montana Division Will Fall in
Line-Who Is Going on That Fine
Special-Are Many Belated Elks.

Not since the time when the cotton
woods and willow clumps in the old
Deer Lodge valley were thick with the
Elks that roamed the state untrammeled
have so many Of the royal animals been
gathered together in one place as in the
city of Butte today.
Ever since the trains from the north,
last night, there has been a royal purple
hue in things and people to be seen on the
streets. From the decorations which twine
in tenderness and strength arcand the
national flag on the Elks lodge on Main
street, to the tawdy rags of the street ven-
ders push cart, there was every evidence
that purple was the popular color. Purple
badges, purple streamers, purple hat bands
down Main street, the purple hills in
the distance it seemed as if the city was
eiiete for the Elks within our gates, the
Elks of Montana.
Joy and Festivity.
OF course they didn't all come to stay
in Butte and hold session of state Elks.
They are on their way to the Grand
Lodge meeting which convenes in Salt
Lake in the morning, but wherever two
or three Elks are gathered together, there
is joy and festivity and when the two or
three resolve themselves into hundreds,
then there is an abundance of spontaneous
mirth.
When the people OF Butte woke up this
morning they found that somebody had
been busy during the night. Railroad Of
fees, stores, hotels, and all places of rest
or recreation had donned their purple
and white to honor the visitors from other
parts of the state and to speed the part
ing Elks who will have their great round
up at the Short Line depot this evening
and pull south for the City of the Saints.
Lodge Hall Is Crowded.
OF course, the lodge hall on Main street
was selected as the reception room for
the visitors. That was where the Elks
kept open house. The man with the pur-
pie OH his hat or on his coat was at home
when he climbed the stairs and half
dozen hospitable brothers took hold of him
and soon made him at his ease. There
was refreshment a plenty. There was a
nice cool place to sit down and smoke

This afternoon they were busy with the
preparations of the train and at an carly
hour they had it ready. Never did Nlcr
special pull out of Butte depot as that
arranged for the Elks
1t consists of 10 coaches, an ordinary.

car. Engineer Grant and Fireman Wolf
in their engine, No. so2, rcsplcndcnt in
new coat of paint, will see that the train is
headed the right way. Conductor Burke
and his brakemen, Meloy and Dunhan,
have arranged the coaches in special order.
Behind the engine and baggage car comes
the ordinary and the coaches with their
delegations, arranged in the following or
der. The 500 City, with the Virginia
City delegation; the Fulton, with Missoua;
the Marie, Paulina and Islington, with
Butte; the San Antonio, with Helena; the
Castara, with Butte, and the Ben Wyvis,

Through Without Stop.
"What is the schedule, Mr. Wilson"
said one of the Elks, who watched the
train as it was made up.
Clear through to Ogden without
stop" said Mr.. Wilson, Except for water"

DILLON STORES VISITED
BY GANG OF MARA JDERS
Five Six-6hooters and Like Number Ct
Suits Of Clothes Taken-Dart
Store Robbed Before.

Dillon, Aug. 1.-THE Dart Hardware
store and Smart < owns tailor shop
were broken into by burglars last night
am Moot to the vale OF so secured. A
wiHd0W III w former place was smashed
with a rock and the intruders who ap-
pcared to be in not the least hurry, pick
ed the bits Of glass from the pane and
climbed in, using this also as means OF
egress. They carried away FIVE rcyolycrs,
valued at $50, from the Dart store. They
must have left here in hurry, as other
yaluablcs were accessible. In the tailor
shop, five suits Of clothes, valued at $Ioo,
seemed pretty good TO the gentlemen Of
the light tread and taking ways.
The fact that five six-shootcrs and five
complete suits of clothes were taken leads
the authorities to believe that there were
five in the gang and that they wished
armament and disgusc for some unto
ward purpose. Thus far, no trace of
the thieves is to be had.
Five men have already been sent to the
penitentiary for robDing the Dart store
on former occasions.

Of the Southern Pacific Company left here this
week for the East. after about month in this
State. He made excellent impression on all
who met him or heard him speak. and he has
justified his words by leaving orders for a
markable amount of construction and repair
work that will greatly add 10 the efficiency OF
the Tacifc Railroad system in California. He
seemed strongly impressed with the rapid
growth Of San Francisco. and the largest por-
tion Of the money will be expended tunnels
which are intended to avoid the heavy grades
between this city and the Santa Clara Valley.
