ARTISANS DANCE CAUSES
SCAFF0LDING TO FALL
PIaSterer's Clog PreCipitates 8
Men to Basement

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-While light
footed plasterer doing an energetic
clog dance on a broad and well sup
ported pavement might not be able to
do a great deal OF harm to himself or
the scenery, a light footed plasterer
performing the same steps on scat
fold on which five fellow workers are
perched is an entirely different matter.
Exhibit A.
Six plasterers got up on a scalford on
the ground floor of a new twelve story
building at No. 500 West Thirty-fourth
street yesterday.
They had been employed to plaster
rather than to trip the light fantastic
toe, but there was among them one
hale and hearty soul with thoughts
above mere unornamented toll.
So lifting his brOgans he rollicked
forth into a sincere clog. His five COM
panions pleaded with him to stay his
exercises till they had returned to
firmer footing, but he loved his little
dance too much to quit.
BY the time the ambulance got there
the basement was pretty well filled with
the dancer and his unwilling spectators
None of them was in any condition to
plaster any more for the day.
DR. Armstrong, of the New York
hospital, repaired them and sent them
home. AS they hobbled down the street
the Joyous clog dancer was seen to do
a few we'll selected steps, thus prov
ing that though the dancer may live on
forever the plain worker may get tired
in a day.

MIDWAY NORTHERN WILL
DISPOSE Of ALL OUTPUT
Pipe Line Is to Be Constructed to
New Center'S TankS-HaS
$4,000 Barrels

S. NJ. Warmbath, secretary and gen.
eral manager of the Midway Northern
Oil company, left last night for the
company's property in the Midway field
to superintend the construction of a
pipeline, which the Midway Northern
is laying to the New Center company's
tanks, two and one-quarter miles to
the southwest.
The Midway Northern has just dis
posed of its entire product to the New
Center Oil company, which has con-
tracts to handle the output in daily
runs for a years time. The pipe for
the pipeline is already on the ground
waiting to be connected up, and within
the next five or six days regular de-
liveries will be started. The Northern
has at the present time upward of 25,-
900 barrels of oil in its tanks and
sumpholes awaiting disposition.
The Midway Northern is n Los An
geles company that was formed a few
wonths ago, of which E. G. Ekstrom is
president.

BIC BUTTE PROPERTY
WILL MAKE GOOD RUN
Property on HasSayampa River
Puts Through Ore Run
ming $25 to the Ton

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Aug. 22.-F1atter-
ing results were received a few days
ago from a test run of ores made at
the new prospecting mill of the Big
Butte Mining company, located among
the Hassayampa, below Walnut Grove.
From a 1000-pound yield, the concen-
trate values gave Sc ounces to the ton,
and notwithstanding the ores were OK
idize the free gold was practically of
no consideration. This determination
in treatment will lead to the erection
of a new system of treating the output
and the cyanide and roll method is to
be introduced, according to a state
ment made by Forest Mckinley gen.
eral manager of the company, who is
in the city.
Mr.. Mckinley is pleased with the
initial run of his small mill, and the
possibilities of the ground when opened
to depth.
Where the above values were OBJ
tanned was from shaft of limited
depth, and a cut through a four and
one-half foot vein, in a hematite of
iron formation. Assays made from the
ground at different times previous to
this test run gave high values, and
1t is his belief that the ore will give
values of at least $25 a ton, from which
concentrates sampling over $500 a ton
will be easily available. A significant
and pleasing feature of the return is
that is practically a gold one, with sill
yer eliminated, and only small per-
centage of lead.
The immediate section surrounding
the Big Butte ground has been mined
for placer gold for many years, and
where the work is going on is at a
point where Oak creek empties into
the Hassayampa.
A total of but 200 feet in shaft and
tunnel work is on the property, but
from the remarkable output of the
test run, the purpose is to begin de-
velopment on a more extensive scale
than ever before. Four directors of
the company will leave Kew York in
a few days, and after their arrival the
maturing of new plans on new lines
will be initiated. Four claims are
held under location, and one of the
attractive conditions prevailing on the
system is that for 2500 feet on the
surface the groupings are distinct from
one end to the other.

BOGUS CHAUFFEUR HAS
GAY TIME IN ENGLAND
Says He Is Employed by Earl and
Defrauds InnkeeperS

LONDON. Aug. 22.-The exploits of a
practical joker, whom even the police
unsuspectiugly helped, are now engag-
ing the attention of the police in vari-
Gus parts of the country. represent
ing that he was chauffeur TO the Earl
of Kimberley, whose motor car had
broken down, the man induced a Still
ton tradesman TO drive him seven miles
to Peterborough. He alighted az The
chief hotel and sent the man hack to
Holme station for his luggage. Then
he stopped a town councillor and asked
the way to the nearest garage, eX-
planning that he had had n breakdown,
and that Lord WodehOuse and his two
sisters had gone on to Grantham,
where he was to meet them.
Finding the garage closed, the cOun-
cilor went with the man to the police
at his disposal to find one of the chat
feurS. The search was successful,
and he was driven in car to Gran
than.
After going to a hotel, the joker said
his lordship had gone on to Leicester,
and directed the chauffeur to drive
there. They put up az the Bell hotel,
rooms were taken for the Earl of
Kimberley and party, and a seven
course dinner was ordered. Then on
the pretext that the earl had missed
the train, he told the chauffeur to stay
for the night. Next day, after obtain
ing some rings from a local firm, and
borrowing the chauffeur's spare cash,
the man decamped.
The police have found that a man
answering the description Of the joker
motored from Bromley, Kent, and left
a chauffeur stranded at Bedford.

COURT AFFIRMS
JUDGMENT

Helena, Oct. 13.-.iSpecial) -- The
supreme court today handed down
an opinion In tho case OF Frederick.
Byrd. convicted of murder In Car.
bon county and sentenced to Is
years In the penitentiary. affirming
the Judgment, The court SAID
however, that the evidence was
barely sufficient to Justify verdict
of murder in the second degree.
while the great preponderance
seems to Indicate that the defend
ant should either have been ac-
quilted on the ground that the
homicide was justifiahle, or should
at most have been convicted of
manslaughter. The court says 1t
has no power to interfere, but thinks
the attention of the governor should
b called to the case.
The court handed down a writ
directing the county commissioners
of chouteau county to give the
voters the opportunity to vote on
the removal of the county seat from
Fort Benton to Hayre.
