There have been 11 forest fires in the Deer Lodge forest this season, was announced at forestry headquarters here Thursday. That the statement made by Fred Morrell, district forester at Missoula, that there is still grave danger of destructive fires this summer applied to this district, was admitted by Miss Leaf, who is temporarily in charge of the local office. Prompt public co-operation in handling the fires that have occurred was wholly responsible for preventing great destruction. Of the fires that have occurred, she said. The Anaconda and part of the Dear Lodge area have been destroyed, Miss Leaf stated. **Carelessness Cause.** Of the 11 fires that have occurred in this district, seven were caused by careless persons. Six of these were campers and one was a brush burner. Four fires were caused by lightning. The outlook for the rest of the season as favorable as it was last year and this is due principally to the extremely dry conditions of the forest. **Urges Precautions.** Mr. Morrell in his statement urged extreme precautions in preventing fires during August. If the dry condition continues the danger of fires is very great. The public is urged to make great effort to prevent fires, but to exercise extreme care and vigilance," he said. --- ### Skull of Unknown Woman Is Returned to Boulder Dr. T. B. Anderson, having failed to satisfy police headquarters here officially as to whether he has identified dental work on the skull of the woman whose skeleton was found near Boulder recently, Chief of Police Martin Donahue has handed the skull to Sheriff John Moonsley of Boulder, and a problem will be buried with the other remains of the woman. The local officer made every attempt to identify the skull, the remains found near Boulder are those of Mrs. Francis LaComa, who mysteriously disappeared in 1921. In the event that this could be accomplished, charges according to the local police might be filed against her murderers, now held in jail awaiting trial in Nevada. Despite the fact that it is more than a month since the skull was turned over Anderson, he has made no report on his findings. His decision was to return the skull to Boulder the city. The woman was about 40 to 45, it is thought, by [illegible]. --- ### Butte Boy Will Return To Give Concert Here Joseph Andrews, formerly of Butte and for some time soloist with the C. C.

A comparison shows that the average age of the male persons married during the month was 30, while the average age of the prospective brides was 25. Few men marry at an early age nowadays.

A few of those obtaining licenses returned to obtain the required signatures of parents. The great majority have no arrugees in office. From although this indicates whether the correct ages are given in every instance, apparently by number of the fairer sex. The oldest "couple" to take a license was composed of a man of 65 and a woman of 55, who lead to the alter a widow aged 41, neither of whom objected to revealing their years. While a number of these filling out license blanks in July were not required to state whether they had been married before, some of those 43 admitted that they were seeking matrimonial happiness for the second time after obtaining divorces from their former partners. In checking the records, it was found the big majority of divorcees chose as their mates persons who, like themselves, had previously experienced the joys of married life. Each contracting party in 31 of the 43 partnerships listed themselves as divorced, with only eight of the 43 obtaining the month who entered the married state with partners over whom they had the advantage of previous experience. A great many of the applicants applying for licenses do not wish to have this publicised, while others are anxious to have their friends know of their plans. --- ### Funeral Services Held For John James Morgan The funeral of John James Morgan was held yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the home of the family, 212 Moulton avenue.
