George AIDES County Chairman is
now in its sixth week at the Stude-
baker theatre, Chicago, and in spite of
the length of the run is packing the
house at every performance. When
this attraction was first scheduled for
the Studebaker, theatrical wiseacres
were inclined to shake their heads in
doubt, because this house has always
been given over to musical entcrpriS-
es and they did not believe it would
prove n popular home fer rural dra-
ma. Mr.. AIDES new piece has shown
the utter fallacy of this contention,
for ii has been drawing to the capa
city Of the house since the opening
night, and seems destined to continue
on this prosperous way as long as
Manager Henry w. Savage cares to
keep it in Chicago. One Of the note
worthy engagements of the present
season at the Studebaker will be the
annual appearance of Henry w. Saw
ages English Grand Opera company.
which opens its season Nov. 16. This
has grown to be an exceedingly pre-
tentiOus organization, and this year
Mr.. Savage has engaged a number of
new singers of world wide reputation.

To Ask Federal Aid
II is reported this afternoon that the

prevent interference with the delivery of
its messages
The company, it is understood, will to-
day apply to Judge Knowles in the federal
court at Helena for an injunction restrain
ing the strikers and their sympathizers
from interfering with such messengers as
the company may employ.
II. g.. Mcintyre is the attorney Tor the
company at Helena and will make the ap-
plication.
The story is that the injunction, il
issued will be telegraphed 10 Butte at
once
United States Marshal Lloyd, who is
in the city, then probably will appoint
deputies to see that the order of the court
is enforced
The basis for federal interference is
that the telegraph company is common
carrier and also is an outside corpora
tion.

Little Ethel Blair, who lives near
Quartz and Crystal streets, caused great
excitement last night by starting out on
journey without leaving word as to where
she was bound.
For three hours her father searched the
neighborhood and rescue parties secured
the alleys and streets. When found, she
had wandered down by the Hale house and
was still on the go.
Mother Goes Calling.
The mother went out to make a call
during the evening and left little 3-year-
old Ethel with her father.
As he was reading and writing the little
girl did not get as much attention as her
restless nature demanded.
Therefore she concluded the proper
thing for her TO do was TO go out and find
her mother on which thought she pro
ceeded to act.
After while the father missed the
pride of the household and began to get
worried. He searched the house, but
there was no sign OF the baby.

with friends and acquaintances of the dis
tracted father.
For three hours the father led the hu
from place TO place and sent word to the
mother that the child was out on the
streets Of Butte and could not he found.
The mother FASTENED home, TO find her
worst fears conhrmed--the child was
lost. The police were notified. but they
could learn nothing OF the whereabouts OF
the little one.
After time il occurred to the father
that the mother was in the habit of calling
on friends in the neighborhood OF the
Hale house and had at times taken the
child with her.
Perhaps the little one might have re
membered the direction and started out
to find her mother.
Little One Is Found.
Acting on the suggestion of the father
the searching party turned its steps to-
ward the Hale house and sure enough,
there they found the little girl. who
though but three years OF age Travelled all
the way from Quartz and Crystal TO the
place she was found inside of three hours.
