WILDCAT ON THE LINE.
What Happened When It Climbed to Ton
of Electric Power Pole.

OF ELECTRIC POWER Pole.
The Butte office of the Butte Electric
and Power company received tele-
phone message yesterday morning from
some ranchman up on the Big Hole
river stating that pole supporting a
line was burning and endangered the
line
George X. Aitkcn, foreman of con-
struction, and an assistant were sent out
to investigate and put out the fire.
About fifteen miles from Butte, on the
Big Hole up from Divide. they saw the
pole, which had been nearly consumed.
The fire was smothered and then upon
looking for the cause of the fire the
iinemen discovered Mt the bottom of the
pole the ba dly torn fragments of wild
cat or mountain lion, and at the top Of
the pole, where it had become mixed
with the wire, were the tail. the feet
and Il few other ShrcdS of the cat.
Either through curiosity or by being
chased and frightened the wildcat had
climbed up the electric power pole dur
ing the night and attempted to take ret
uge on the croSsbar. The moment it
touched the wires it created Il short cir
cult and got through its body the full
1000 volts of electricity That made Il
mess of the wildcat and set fire to the
pole.
The liuemen brought n few claws to
Butte as souvenir of the cats advrn-

Instinct for Certain Trees.

A British paper has recently comrlrnt-
certain species of trees, are likely to har-
Dor peculiar kinds of birds. The. oak is
said to be the favorite with rocks and
jays, and the beech with woodpeckers.
In America many similar associations
may be noted, as the oriole and elm. the
catbird and hawthorn, the yellow warb-
Ter and willow, the crow and the pine
etc. Such associations do not hold for
all regions, unless the range of bird and
tree are cO-eXtensive, but it is conSpicu-
Gus enough to be noticeable. In most
cases this association is concerned with
nest building but it is difficult in some
cases to understand why one tree is not
as good as another for such purposes

Great Mystery Solved.

"Why," said landsman, ''are sailor
trousers so baggy at the bottoms?'
"They are baggy at the bottoms the
mariner replied, 80 that they will roll
up above the knee conveniently and
easily. Sailors are great deck-washers
and in deck-washing it is necessary to
have the legs bare to the knees. Trous-
ers of ordinary cut, rolled above the
knees, would cramp the flesh of the UP
per leg and impede the circulation, but
sailor trousers may be taken by their
wide bottoms and pulled in a jiffy up to
the hip. They fit the upper leg like u
hip-boot.
Sailor trousers, in word. have so
odd shape because they are cut from
the knees down to fit the leg from the
knee p.''-Philadelphia Bulletin.

ADIEU TO MARISCHIN0
FESTIVE CHERRY MUST ABANDON
THE PUNCH BOWL.
Prof. 3. H. Meyer Discusses Pure Food
Decentralization Tax Law
Declared Curb on Great Wealth.

MADISON, Wis, July 7.-[Special. ]
An address by Prof. 3. III. Meyer on
recent legislation and legal decisions
was the striking feature of the week S
programme of the summer session of the
university.
In speaking of the pure food act, Prof.
Meyer recalled the interesting fact that
the first steps toward securing such a
measure were taken by a milwaukee,
society Of German apOthecaries in 1876.
lie playfully expressed regret that, as a
result OF the recent pure food IeglSIa-
ton, the people Of Wisconsin will lose
the MariSchino cherry from the punch
bowl.
Cordial approval of the inclusion of
the express and sleeping car companies
under the jurisdiction of the interstate
commerce commission was expressed.
Prof. Meyer also voiced his belief that
the pass system should be further re-
Stricted.
The provision giving the interstate
commerce commission power to fix the
maximum rate on railroads was com
mended, but the lack of power to fix the
minimum rate was deplOred.
Discussing the Inheritance tax law re-
Gently upheld by the Wisconsin supreme
court, Prof. Meyer said that the law will
be means of checking vast accumula-
tons of wealth.
The decision upholding the ad valorem
law he hailed as just and equitable de-
claring that, while he recognized that
the state of Michigan was pioneer in
this field the Wisconsin tax commission
has placed the assessment of property
and the distribution of taxation upon a
more definite, intelligent and defensible
basis than any other state of the ma
ton" The decision in the case of the
Madison Gas and Electric company was
spoken of as epoch-makine, since it laid
down the rule that the state possesses
the right to regulate directly. or to dele
gate the right to regulate, charges made
by such public service corporations.

90 years, was shot and killed at an early
hour this morning. Her husband has
disappeared.
a little child aged 3, witnessed the
shooting tragedy, but cannot satisfy the
authorities as to the identity Of the muir
dCrer
Killed in Secluded Home.
The Lohsts live about five miles south
of the city and little is known here Of
the details Of the crime, save that the
woman's body WAS found lying III a pool
Of blood in her lone. The home is in q
secluded spot and the shots were not
heard by neighbors
a part Of revolver was found near
the body. Three shots had been fired
and entered the woman's back. The
authorities have not yet fixed the owner
ship of the revolver, and knew nothing
of the shooting until this morning, when
they were notified by neighbors Of the
Lohsts, who went to the home.
They were greeted by CHASTITY sight
FOR within few feet of the murdered
woman were found two children, one a
baby, who did not realize that her moth
er had been slain.
Fired from the Outside.
L ne 0l1cr clIll Is unable 10 fCClte tne
details Of the crime, but it is believed
that the murderer fired from the out
side while Mrs. Lohst's back was turned.
There is no indication that there had
been a Strugg.1 between the woman and
her slayer. The county authorities have
been notified and are now securing the
county, but up to noon today had found
no trace of the murderer or the missing
husband.
A brother of Mrs. I.ohst went to the
creamery to deliver the morning milk
and on his way back stopped at the
LOhst home. Upon going i'll he found
the woman dead ON the floor. She had
been sick for some time and the brother
thought that she had died a natural
death He went for physician, and
the two returned and made an eXamina-
ton. 1t was found that the woman had
been shot and that there were two bull
let wounds in her back. The physician
later found that three shots had enter
ed her body and that the firing had prob
ably been at close range.
The children were sitting on the floor
near the body
No Known Cause for Crime.
There is no known reason for the
shooting The brother declares that she
had not quarreled with her husband,
but on the contrary, lived happily with
him. The only indication that the hus-
band might have shot his wife is found
in the story of the 3-year-old child, in
which, on account of the little ones age,
the authorities are inclined to place
some doubt.
