NUMBER IS INCREASING. BUT NOT SO WITH CHINESE Ther apply the "absent treatment' while thetr brothers fight In Can. ton Butte Chinese will so back when ther can ran for office. According to ticket sales recorded at the Butte city ticket offices of the transcontinental lines, Italian laborers are leaving this section of the country in large numbers and going home to take up arms with their brothers and perish on the field of honor against the Turks. During the last week many Inquiries have been received relative to sailing dates and the number of res.

ervations Is unusually large for this time of the year, says the agents. A representative of the Pennsylvania lines said that last week Idaho had recruited scores who have felt thecall of patriotism with sufficient fervor to send them across the Atlantic. Hun dredg of Italians employed in section gangs In the Northwest are keen for taking up the fight. Five husky, dark-skinned volunteers left Butte Friday and will sail next Saturday from New York. Few of the Americanized Celestials in Butte, however, have gone back to pull the fangs of the sacred dragon with their slant-eyed brethren In the antipodes and are content to gather In some laundry shop and read about Shanghai going over to the revolution ists and await the establishing of a new republic.

The wily denizens of the section grin broader each day when victory for the revolutionary arms ace recorded. They are simply waiting until Shanghai or Canton whichever is their home town, has a democratic form of government, and then and not until then will they go across the seas and run for aldermen, mayor or the job of a ward heeler. One of Chinatown's English-speak ing residents said yesterday that Chang, the god of war, was with the rebels. He predicted that there would be an exodus of Chinese and a 'sub stantial hoard of "Mellcan money would go along, too. Just at present they use the absent treatment.

They think that a live Chinaman is of more value to the new republic than a per ished revolutionist. They are willing to loosen their purse strings for what they lack in military courage. Local Chinese see with the formation of the new republic, in event of the revolution being successful, a chance for the American Chinese in the new form of government. Charlie Fen, an educated Chinese, said yesterday that there would be many new political of flees, and that the American Chinese, would be lined up for them because of the methods employed in America. He predicted that there would be many leaving when the revolution was con cluded.

If his surmise is true, some of Butte's leading laundrymen may give up their humble vocation and indulge In politics in the empire, and instead of packing clothes on their backs, "stump" it in the Forbidden city or let lighting contracts In the Fifth ward of Canton. SENDS ENGINES INTO DITCH TO PREVENT WORSE WRECK Osage City, Nov. 12. Two engines and the mail and baggage cars of Santa Fe passenger train No. 17 were sent into the ditch here at 2 o'clock this morning when the tower-man at the Santa Fe-Mlssouri Pacific crossing -threw the derail switch to prevent the train crashing into a long Missouri Pacific freight train, which was on the crossing at the time.

The leading engine of the Santa Fe train was badly damaged, but no one was injured. Engineer John Foss of the leading engine of the passenger train, who had control of the air of the dou. ble-header passenger train, declared that the air failed to work and he was unable to stop train when he saw the signal set to safeguard the passage of the Missouri Pacific train over the crossing. AT THeVaMILY. One of the best and most cleverly presented plays In the repertoire of any stock company was seen at the Family theater yesterday when the Maude Henderson company offered "The Crook," unequaled for starting climaxes, which nevertheless come naturally and without straining the organization of the audience.

"The Crook" deserves all the praise that two well-pleased audiences lavished upon It yesterday. The plot 'Is crisp, the play well written and It suffers no loss In the hands of the clever members of the Henderson company. N. E. Primrose and Miss Anna Hughes are seen to splendid advantage In the leading roles.

The other members of the cast offer adequate support. Messrs. Mansfield and Gray deserve more than passing notice. As the bullying warden and later the merciless detective, Mr. Mansfield showed himself versatile and clever.

As Shorty Strong, the crook's pal, Gray won his audience from the start. Two pleasing musical numbers are contributed between acts. "The Crook" may be seen Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Thursday the bill will be changed to "Jack In a Box," a comedy. MORMON PATRIARCH BURIED.

HIS LITTLE COMRADE CRIES "Willie shot me, but he didn't mean to," nearly last words Showed remarkable nerre and never eon. plained Inteitlnea fractured. While his little heart chugged at an abnormal rate and a fever of 104 degrees wore him out, 6-year-old Ed-mond Walsh, 122 South Grant street, who was accidentally shot Wednesday while "playing In'dian" with William Harris, aged 6 years, yesterday afternoon smiled and chatted with his mother and as he weakened so that attendants knew he could Hve only a few minutes longer, he looked up and said "Willie shot me, but he tildn't mean to." He died at 2:30 o'clock, after mak lng a hard fight against a wound, which, from the first, was regarded as fatal. The bullet entered the left side, perforated the stomach and the bowels and lodged In the right side under the skin. An operation was performed.

A pathetfic feature of his death was the solicitude shown by the little Harris boy, his chum and schoolmate. who appeared at the hospital to see Edmond and exhibited much feeling when refused, as his playmate's condition was such that attendants did not wish to excite him. Although highly nervous, the little patient had a show of grit in keeping with his ideal, the Indian, and at no time did he complain, although he asked for Mttle things to eat and drink that he could not have. Several times he expressed sorrow that his little companion felt so badly because of the accIUent. The little boy said he went from school with Harris to the latter's home, 729 East Mercury street, where Harris said he had found a gun, The little fellows wanted to see how it worked.

Harris was pulling back the trigger, not knowing it was loaded, at the same time pointing the weapon, a 22-eallber target pistol, at his rttle playmate. The gun was discharged and the boys were terrified when Walsh saftl he was shot. He was car ried home and later taken to Mur. ray's hospital. Deputy Coroner Elmer Binder made an investigation yssterday and decided no Inquest was necessary.

Mrs. Walsh was at her son's beti-slde during the time he was at the hospital was In a highly nervous condition last night. Her husband.

Corner Park and Dakota St. PAYS FOR FARM IN A YEAR Raises an average of fifty-one bmh els of grain at ninety-three cents per bushel, bnt has no market for the ranch.

When Montana farm land Is selling at the prices which prevail throughout the state today, It is rather difficult to believe that only four year ago- fertile tracts, which produced 51 bushels of wheat to the acre, which wheat in turn brought 93 cents a bushel at Montana elevators during a gooy part of the buying season, a return of $46.43 an acre, would not at that time have brought $20 an acre had it been offered for sale. Yet that such a condition of affairs existed win be vouched for by farmers in many sections of the state and that it existed In the Judith basin, Is the statement of Nelson Ross, a prominent ranchman living near Moore. Mr. Ross passed through Butte yes terday en route to the Pacific coast on a trip which will consume several weeks. "We had a gocM growing season this year," said Mr.

Ross, "but the early fall has thrown a great many of the ranchmen behind in their work. There yet remains a great deal of thrashing to do, of both wheat and flax and the fall plowing that wag accomplished was very little indeed, compared to what the farmers had hopeVi to get done. "However, in our section of the country, an early spring usually follows an early winter and the setback of this fall will not affect the crops in the basin next year." Mr. Ross, although for the past 20 years a resident of Montana, has been engaged in wheat growing only nine years. "I purchased a relinquishment on a homestead near Moore nine years ago for $175," said he, "and the deal involved not only the land, but a house and barn that had been erecteM by the original locator.

"1 have raised a crop every year during that time and my production of wheat has run from 40 to 60 bushels an acre. Four years ago I ha'd a yield of 51 bushels to the acre and refused 93 cents for the wheat, yet at the same time I could not have sold that lan'i at that time for $20 an acre." While Mr. Ross is not in the market, yet he admitted that even if he were, he would not listen to a man who talked less than $60 or $75 an acre. He reports that a large number of basin ranchmen and the'ir families are planning winter trips. "On my train were a half dozen families from that section, bound for said he, "and I Imagine the travel must be heavy from the basin, for at Lombard, where I trieU to purchase a ticket through to the coast, they were completely sold out Had nothing at all In the ticket line to any station west of Butte.

I had to go over to Three Forks to get my trip ticket fixed up." cold spEll vanishes mercury goes up fast The mercurty took a big jump yesterday and true to prediction dPd not linger long about the zero mark.
