How these Boomers do caper about
when they are getting beaten. When
things are going the other way they
doubtless play differently but when
they are in for 4 trouncing and they
know it they have a fashion of playing
into the hands of fate that is amusing
for the other side.
While getting their second trimming
yesterday they lost three or four nice
chances to score by falling into trans
on bases. Three were caught off Sec
ond by Lundin and Berger. Thei,'
fielding antics when Rock Island was
at bat were in keeping. Better heaG-
work and more harmony between the
battery would have improved their
chances materially. Bloomington hit
the ball as hard and often as Rock Is

DagOeS in Shooting SCrape,

Last Sunday afternoon about
twenty Italians who are working for
one of the railroad grading outfits
near Stanford, went into that town to
spend some of their payday money.
They loitered around until about six
O'Clock by which time some OF them
were slightly intoxicated They hired
a rig to go back to camp in, but when
they reached Skull creek, about six
miles from Stanford, they got to quar-
reling and climbed out of the wagon.
Without much ceremony, one OF the
dasoes Tony VelIirona suddenly pull
ed out a gun and shot another. the
name of whom we did not get. in the
thigh.
The assailant immediately "hiked'
out and has not been seen since AL
though it is reported just before going
to press that Deputy Louis Gies is
close on his track. The injured man is
in a bad way.

TWO FINE LECTURES.
Father Vaughan and W. J. Dawson
Address LARGE Audience,

Lewistown people have been given
two real treats in the entertainment
line within the last week
Last Wednesday evening, Father
Vaughan, the noted Shakespearean
scholar and lecturer, addressed a
great crowd in Culvers hail. A finer
entertainer than Father Vaughan
never appeared on a lecture platform
in this city. He is acknowledged to
be one of the very few great students
of the Bard of Avon and his interpre-
tation of some of the works of that
great character We're a revelation to
the people of this city.
Last evening. the Rev. w. Daw-
son, the great London preacher, ad-
dressed another large crowd at CuI-
ver's hail. The subject of Rev Daw-
sons lecture was Admiral Robert
Blake" the great English fighter OF
the Cromwellian period.
DaWsons mastery of the purest of
English is truly wonderful and he is
an orator who holds his crowd with
the greatest ease. The life and sturdy
character of the great English ad-
miral We're depicted in a manner which
will be long remembered by those 50
fortunate to hear the lecture,
The next number on the program Of
the Lewistown Lecture Club will be
Ralph Parlett. the funny man, who
will appear here on March II. This
should also be fine bit of entertain
ment for the people Of this city.

BUTTE MINERS VOTE

Special to the Democrat

Special to the Democrat
Butte, Mont, Feb 26.-The count
OF the vote of the Butte Miners
union shows that the proposition
nxlng scale of wages at $4. 90 a day
carried by a large majority, to go
in effect May l.
Contrary to report, the Anal gam
ated will not shut down. Superin-
tendent John Gillie says that work
Will continue as usual but all de-
veloping and construction work will
be suspended for the present. The
company will devote all of it's
time and energy taking out ore and
making copper.
The miners say their vote is
simply a request for raise of
twenty-five cents per day, and that
it is not likely that a strike will re-
suit.
The action of the Amalgamated
will throw several hundred men ont
of employment, both in Butte and
Great Falls, but will not effect the
large body of employees.
The newspaper situation remains
in statu quo and the chances of q
settlement and the resumption of
the publications appear TO be as re-

ness men do not take an optimistic
view of the situation, despite the

LANE HOME FROM WEST.
Manager Of Montana Lumber Com-
pany Takes in lsmbermcn's Meet.

Manager J. r. Lane Of the Montana
Lumber company returned Wednes-
day night from Salt Lake City.
where he attended the fourth annual
meeting of the Western Retail Lum-
bermen's Association, which was
held in the Mormon city from the 14th
to the 10th inclusive. Mr. Lane states
that a very interesting meeting was
held and many matters of interest t.
the retail lumber dealers throughout
the west discussed. The association
is to meet in Spokane next year.
During his absence. Mr.. Lane Wis
tied number Of cities in Utah. Idaho
and washington. and found the same
conditions everywhere he visited the
very limit Of prosperity and good
times. An unprecedent era of building
is on throughout the west and there is
wild scramble for lumber and other
building material. Mr. Lane was for
tunate in getting from the big dealers
a contract for lumber, as hundreds
of orders are being turned down.
In all of the cities which he vista
ed, the Lewistown lumber man made
enquiries as to the prices of staple
commodities and found that the mer-
chants of Lewistown are making
prices as low and in many cases much
lower on staples than are the mer-
chants OF other towns and cities in
the west.

John L. Bright, manager for the

purchased of Joseph Jackson, forty
feet of ground in the Jackson tract on

about 500 per front foot. The land
acquired by Mr. Bright lies Immediately

and Sixth avenue.
To the Democrat, Mr.. Bright stated
that it is his intention to commence
just as soon as the frost is out of the
ground, on two story stone business
building on the ground recently pur-
chased. No great amount of excava-
tion will be required for the basement
as the ground is already below grade.
AS spring approaches, the outlook
for a very busy building season in Lew
istown becomes brighter With the
hotel and bank building on the Holze-
mer corner, the new court house, the
Sisters hospital the Bright building
and several other structures which are
now under serious contemplation, it
is estimated that between three hun
dred thousand and four hundred thou
sand dollars worth of buildings will be
erected in this city within the next
year This will furnish employment
for hundreds of skilled and unskilled
laborers and make payroll of thou
sands of dollars weekly in Lewistown
