r LEARY'S cow.
New Version of the Starting Of tine
Great Chicago Fire.


The Chicago centennial celebration
has been made the occasion of a new
and authorized version of the origin
of the Chicago fire. The tradition that
has been generally accepted is that
on the evening of October 3, 1871, q
family named Chamberlain was re-
joicing over the advent OF a son. The
Chamberlain's lived in the same
house with Mrs. O'Leary. When they
found the supply of milk insufficient
for the punch in which they were pre-
pairing to drink the health of the son
one of the Chamberlain's said he
would go out and milk Mrs. O'Leary's
COW. He entered the stable in the
rear of the house, carrying a Kerosene
lamp. As he seated himself beside
the cow, the animal kicked the lamp
set the straw on fire and started the
famous confiagration.
Now comes Mrs. Mary Callahan and
tells what she claims Is the truth, tn,
whole truth, and nothing but the truth
about the COW, the lamp and the "a
.tastr0phe. Mrs. Callahan, who ].
now a grandmother, was still a younf
woman al the time. She and a paTty
of young people had gathered on tina
Sunday evening at the home Of Pa.
Mclaughlin, which stood on the sam
lot where Mrs. OLeary lived in a cot
tage at the rear. About S O'Clock Mrs
Mclaughlin got tea for the party, AM
then it was discovered there was NJ
milk. Denny ConnOrs, just from lrc
land. proposed that Mrs. O'Leary'.
cow be MIXED. Mrs. OLeary and he.
family had retired. So the party yer!
quietly went to the shed back OF thi
cottage.
Denny Connors and the presen
Mrs. Callahan went 10 the shed wher'
the COW was stabbed. Mrs. Callahan
carried the lamp, which was set on
milking stool. COnnors knelt dowI
on the left side Of the cow and awk
wardIy began 10 milk her. Whethe
the cow kicked over the lamp or Con
nors fell over il, Mrs. Callahan cal
not tell Al any rate II was knocke,
over and started the fire. Denny Cor
nrrs. thoroughly frightened, left Chi
cago and o afterward returned Il
ireland, where he died three year
ago. Some OF the others in thu sec
fot also left the city hurriedly.
This version places Mrs. O'L.eary'
COW in a more favorable light. Sh
did not kick out from pure yiciou,
ness. or even in a spirit OF protest a
being disturbed at what was an M
seemly hour for milking, but becaus
she was being MIXED by an awkwar
and inexperienced hand. After thii
ty-two years Of obloquy the COW ha
been vindicated.-Anaconda StanC

To Develop Victor Group.

SNNSibP NfSASi S'SeP'
From an agreement to sell, filed in
the office OF the county recorder Sat
urday, it may be seen that the own
ers Of the Victor group of mining
claims are preparing to put ten
thousand dollars into the development
OF the claims. which are located on
Plum creek, about a mile north OF the
Kendall group in the North Mecca
sins. The claims have been the prop
erty of w. l.. Martin. Schuyler Arm.
strong and Homer Armstrong, Of
Great Falls, Martin has sold one
half Of his interest, or on~e-fourth in
terest in the property, to Mathew
Dunn. the consideration being $1,000,
two hundred dollars of which was
paid down and the remainder to be
paid in regular payments: and as
the money is paid over is to be used
in developing the property. For ev-
cry dollar that Martin puts into the
property, the other partners. the Arm
strongs, are to put in a dollar and
in this manner. IL the development of
the property justifies the continued
expenditure, about $4,000 will be in
vested. The Victor group is one of
the most promising in the noun
tains. A 20-foot tunnel and a 20.foot
cross-cut is all of the work that has
been done so far, but an ore body,
samples of which assayed as high al
$50 a ton, was struck. A body of
galena one foot wide and ~assaying
s25, has been struck and the owners
feel justified. from the showings al
ready made, in spending a large
amount for the further development.

Eject of Music on Auimals.

At the ZOO the zebra, wild ass, deer
and ostrich went into paroxysms Of
rage at the sound of the piccolo, al
though they had manifested various
signs Of pleasure over the violin and
flute. The tiger was asleep and re-
fused to be awakened by the fiddler
and flutist. But when the man with
the piccolo began to play the animal
sprang furiously to its feet and rushed
angrily up and down the cage, flashing
Its tail. So extreme was the beasts
anguish that the piccolo man speedily
gave place to the futist. The differ
ence in effect was at once apparent.
The tiger stopped, listened, lay down
and purred like kitten in its enjoy
ment of the grateful sounds, and pres
emily fell asleep in luxurious repose.-
