TENNIS MEET TO
co FROM ANACONDA
NOT LIKELY THAT THE STATE
TOURNAMENT WILL BE HELD
an SHELTER CITY.
GREAT FALLS IS AFTER IT
Matter Has Not Been Settled, But II Is
Probable That the Meeting viii
Not Be Held Here.
SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.


Anaconda, July s4.-Unless something
unforeseen happens before tomorrow a de-
cision will then be reached regarding the
action to be taken by the Anaconda Tennis
club as to the proposed meet here of the
State Tennis association.
1t was decided last year TO have the an
nual ournament here this season. Arrange
ments were made for that purpose and the
local club having been forced out of its
former excellent courts Immediately pro-
ceeded to erect and equip new grounds.
The local club has gone to great deal
OF expense and has worked faithfully and
earnestly in order to be in shape to ham
die the tournament.
The shut down of the smelter here and
other unforeseen happenings caused the ten
mis- players Of the state to decide that in all
likelihood the tennis meet would be pulled
off to greater advantage in another city.
In consequence it is not at all unlikely
that the meet will be had in Great Falls
this season.
This, however. has not been decided and
it may be that the club officials will yet de-
eide to have the playing done here this
year.

AT this moment the cabin boy appeared
poverty stricken as TO eyebrows and with

"Sir. have the honor to report the
ship Is on fire." exclaimed the boy. his
face showing pale beneath the hastily ac-
quircd tan.
The fact that the human mind works In
peculiar fashion when under strain OF
excitement was proven here when one Of
the watchmen repeated in a slow. dclibcr-
ate voice the famous stanza, The Boy
Stood OF the Burning Deck" and dropped
overheard without even glancng over his
shoulder.
The fire was sighted by those on shore,
but it was too late TO save the ship. She

STIRRING NOTE OF
MERRY CALL|0PE
CIRCUS HAS COME TO TOWN AND
BUTTE TURNS OUT TO SEE
THE PARADE.
HAS A LARGE MENAGERlE
Great Tent Tested as to Capacity at
Show This Afternoon-Good
Turns on the Bill.

Thousands gathered on the streets this
noon TO witness the big parade Of the
Campbell Brothers Consolidated shows,
which have pitched their tents down on the
fiat not far from Columbia Gardens. The
special with the 20 ears carrying the ag-
grcgation arrived late and the parade was
delayed more than an hour, but when the
cheerful notes Of the calliope announced
its coming, the spectators were more than
rewarded for their patience.
The Campbell show is a three-ringed
aggregation Of the hst-class and carries a
mcnageric second only 10 that of the
Rnglings. Its big tent has a capacity Of
G,ooo people and fully that number filed in
this afternoon.
Some Fine Features.
The features Of the show are the Flying
lie Vans, aerial artists. This family OF six
comes directly from Europe, having cleo
trifcd the continent by the most daring
fcats ever attempted in air.
The Miznos, japanese family Of 10,
also do some wonderful acrobatic and bal
ancing work. Among the riders Dick
Davenport, known the world over and Liz
zic Rooney, fayorte in the ring for two
decades, may be mentioned.
The Roberts family OF acrobats have no
superior in their line.
Crowds on the Flat.
The numerous tents OF the big show
cover 10 acres Of ground. A large crowd
Of the curious took the special cars to the
grounds this morning to watch the big
tents being put up and the animals taken
from their vans.
The elephants, Of course, attracted the
most attention and when old Nellie, a
mammoth specimen, accompanied by tiny
son, began to push the heavy wagons about
with her trunk the excitement and enjoy
mcnt Of the small boy knew no limits.
Like the Soudan.
The herd Of camcls, turned loose on the
barren sands of the fiat, seemed to sniff
again the air OF their native Soudan. They
rolled and kicked in the sand, enjoying
themselves immensely. The sacred cattle
from Arabia also seemed to see something
similar in the landscape.
The big show started at a:3o. The per-
Torrance will be repeated this evening.

BABY ELEPHANTS
SQUEALS OF FEAR
AROUSE KEEPERS TO SENSE OF
DANGER WHEN CIRCUS TRAIN
IS BURNING FlERCELY.
PULL UP BY A BIG DITCH
Campbell Brothers Special Has a Close
Call Between Red Lodge and Liv-
ingston From Fiery Demon.

Those who have seen the elephants with
the Campbell Brothers circus may have
noticed that baby pachyderm goes about
with coating Of mud on its back and
that one OF the camcls and the two sacred
cows have bad sores on their backs.
The circus special bearing the menag-
erie took fire between Red Lodge and
Livingston on the way west over the
Northern Pacific and il was only by heroic
efforts that the elephants, camels and
sacred cows were saved.
Hamburg Trumpeted Alarm.
The baby elephant rcjoices in the name
Of Hamburg and TO him are due the lives
Of the rest OF the animals in his car.
Hamburg first noticed the fire and
trumpeted and squcalcd until he had
aroused the keepers asleep in the car with
him.
Sparks from the locomotive are sup
posed TO have set fire 10 the roof Of the
car, for when the attendants were aroused
it was burning furiously.
II was useless TO try 10 get the animals
out in their terrified state, so the car was
stopped by the side OF an irrigation ditch
and a little fire engine the show carries put
to work.
The flames were finally cxtinguished,
but not until one OF the camels and the
sacred cows had lost all the hair off their
backs. And as for Hamburg, the little
baby elephant, he was SO cruelty burned
that a poultice had to be applied.
He recovered quickly, however, and his
fond mamma keeps his back well plastered
with soothing mud and cool sand.
And Hamburg is the idol this afternoon
OF every small boy in Butte, for he will
condescendingly accept all the peanuts
they bring him.

After This Gang.

Master Harry Shut, was taken in
to custody by Chief of Police Mince-
moyer yesterday charged with loiter-
ing about the entrance to the theatre
during the different performances.
He was taken before Squire Oglesby
who deferred sentence for two weeks,
pending the lad behavior.
Harry is one of crowd of boys
who loaf about the doors and corri-
dors Of the theatre every night of an
entertainment. Though the boys mean
no harm-a desire to see the "shOw"
being the excuse, the Chief has deter
mined to break up the practice which
has become a nuisance to both the
patrons and the management.
