New York, July so.-Opening prices tended
downward and the general tone was weak.
There was a feeble rally, but selling pres.
sure was renewed.
The specialties bore the brunt OF the selling.
Amagama,cd Copper and Rock Island broke
pcrcipitately. Other losses included 81 in
Colorado Fuel. in Brooklyn Union Gas, 2h
in Peoples Gas and TO In Sugar, Republic
Steel preferred, Steel Foundry, Rubber Goods
preferred and some railroad issues.
The market was steadier at the end Of the
hour
Acute weakness Of individual stocks kept
the whole market depressed. Rock Island was
forced down azs, and there were reports OF a
bond refunding project.
The active list generally ranged from to .
below Saturday. United States Steel fell B to
the low record and New York Central, Missouri
Pacific, Illinois Central and ST. Paul were con.
spicuous in the selling.
Dealings were not large in the general list
but prices yielded easily.
Bonds were irregular at noon.

BUTTE ICE co.'s
POND IS PURE
ICE is TAKEN FROM BLACK TAIL
CREEK FAR ABOVE POINT
OF DANGER.
BUT WATCH BASIN CREEK
"Below Basin junction the Water Is Not
Fit to Use," Says DR..
Sullivan.

"The ice cut from the pond of the Butte
Ice company is pure and wholesome" said
DIR. Sullivan this afternoon.
THE waters Of the pond are In no wise
contaminated from the slaughter houses
ON Basin creek.
"The Butte Ice company's pond is sitrat-
ed on Black Tail creek, fully half mile
above the junction with Basin creek and
Is supplied from mountain streams.
II will say, however, that ice cut from
Black Tail creek below the junction with
Basin creek. or from Basin creek waters
below the slaughter houses is not fit for
domestic use.
Conditions Are Unpleasant.
81 have driven over the ground several
times and have found the conditions even
worse than | first thought. There is a
drain from one of the slaughter houses
which carries refuse into Basin creek.
From this point down the waters are GER
tainly contaminated.
Tile waters of Black Tail creek above
the junction are pure and cold and whole
some. The pond is fed by mountain
streams and there is no contamination"
DIR. Sulivan's report to the city health
board on Butte's ice supply has stirred up
no little interest. Consumers are asking
where their ice has been cut.
IF it has been taken from contamin-
ated waters tieyHant to know it. I'm
pure ice is as serious menace to the pub
>ic health as impure water.
Butte Is Fortunate.
Butte is particularly fortunate" said
Dr. Sullivan, ''in having good pure water.
Ut is just as important that we have pure
ice. The fact that water has been frozen
does not eliminate the danger from dis
case germs ii it has been contaminated.
Science has proved time and again
that pathogenic bacteria are not destroyed
by exposure and freezing in water. The
germs are as active and deadly in ice as
in water.
Nearly every city in the country has
provisions. for the sale of ice. In Chi
cago contaminated ice may be sold for
sold storage purposes, but not for cooling
drinking water or for any purpose where it
comes in contact with food. There they
have standard for ice as well as for
water. We should have provision also.
Covered With Bones.
IL was greatly surprised at the condi-
tions which found on Basin creek. There
was fully an acre of ground covered with
bones of slaughtered animals, which gave
pif sickening stencil.
This, with the drain into Basin creek,
are source of danger that the public can
not afford to overlook. Typhoid fever is
one of the chief dangers from contaminated
water.
There is absolutely no danger of con-
tamination of the waters of Black Tail
above Basin creek. The pond from which
the ice supply of the Butte Ice company is
taken. is separated from Basin creek by a
fine water shed and the source of the
creek is free from anything that might
contaminate it,"

HEREFORD AMUCK
IN BELT SALOON
SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.

SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Belt, July ao.-Evans, suburb of this
place, is recovering from the inroads OF a
bull, not into china-shop, but into a
saloon.
Hilda Potts Hereford broke out of its
stall and after running amuck through
the town dashed into the liquor emporium,
where several young men were playing
cards and drinking and created a panic by
the side of which Black Friday palcs into
milky-white insignifcance.
Tommy on Rampage.
The bull is one of the finest specimens
of the Hereford breed in this vicinity
His fond mistress calls him Tommy, be-
cause he is so Engish-looking. Ordinarily
Tommy is good-natured and benign, but
of late he has been exhibiting nasty
turn.
He broke from his corral by the simple
process of charging the gate and butting
it TO flinders Then he turned into the
principal street of the town.
The first person he saw was a we'll
known local politician. The gentleman
was returning from Johnson's where he
just had his evenings evening.
Roared and Roared Again.
Tommy Aourished his tail in n defiant
way and began to paw up the dust. The
politician, blissfully ignorant OF the prox-
unity of the Hereford, went placidly on
his way. Tommy then uttered roar after
roar of defiance.
The politician, who had singing In
his ears, said to himself that the flies
were buzzing unusually loud, and went on.
Tommy, finding his challenge ignored
and rejecting that he had given the warn
ing required Of a self-respecting bull sew
eral times, lowered his head and charged.
Overturned the Tables.
They picked the politician out OF
olump of bushes later in the evening.
This one tossing whetted Tommy's
appetite and he charged straight down the
The Butte inter mountain., 1903-07-20

street The few abroad at the hour fled
incontinently. Finding no foes to con-
quer in the open, Tommy suddenly turned
in at the door OF the saloon.
Five young men were playing good
old frontier game at round table, placed
near the door for light and air. They had
not heard Tommy's trumpets, nor the
thunder OF his hoofs.
Luckily he hit the table first. The
quintet went over like ninepins.
Down Went the Counter.
Then Tommy made for the counter and
gave it such toss that broken glass fell
like hail. Next he swept the shelves be-
hind quite clean and ran around the
room three or four time to be sure he
had missed nothing.
Then finding himself quite alone and
master of the situation, he stamped vio-
lently upon the cards, in heap under his
feet, and roared couple OF times to let
everyone know that he was it,
Led Of by the Nose.
Just then he took tumble, not of his
feet, but in his scf-esteem
Miss Potts appeared at the door with
halter and a ring and stout club.
The ring she put in Tommy's nose
and the halter about his horns. Then,
with the club, she gave him a sharp rap
on the ear.
They say Tommy wcpt tears Of vex-
alton when he was led off by his mistress.
But he appeared to feel that it was up
to him to be gallant.

CRIPPLES PRAY TO A RELIC
Halt and Manned Said to Be Receiving
Great Benefit.

New York, July ao,--In the little brick
church of ST. Jean Baptiste, in Seventy
sixth street, hundreds of cripplcs have
prayed during three days before a relic
OF ST. Anne, enshrined on the altar.
The relic is credited with many cures,
the most remarkable one Of the present
novena being that of woman from Troy,
who was injured three years ago by a
trolley car and was able to walk only
with the greatest difficulty.
She has thrown aside her crutches and
asserts she has been completely cured.
