Yesterday morning the men arrested the
night previous on the charge OF having sto-
len a bar of silver from the Clipper mill APP

attachment were issued and served an the
bullion found at the mill and seized by City

other attachment was issued in the name of
James Talbot who claims the bullion and
alleges it's value to be $4,000. The paper
was served on Marshal Stoner who locked
up the much sought for brick until he could
get legal advice. Talbot claiming it as his
personal property. The facts or details
will hardly %transpire before the trial, but
foreman Smith of the mill, one OF the ar
rested parties makes a statement that
since he had been foreman he has always
had the custody of the bullion, inc was
instructed by Mr.. Hughes, Il partner in the
mill, not to deliver it to any one. That
from the Indications the men were afraid
that they would have some trouble in get
ting the pay due them about $500, and as
a matter of self protection, he concluded to
hold the stuff until the men could get their
attachments. That it was never out OF his
custody, mol was it ever off the premises.
He admits that he evaded arrest night be-
fore last, but yesterday promptly surren-
dered himself. just where the Talbot claim
comes in has not t~ranspired, but if there
are many more attachments and trials the
costs and attorneys fees will eat up the
brick. In the meantime the mill has been
shut down.

The Chinese Question.

Last night a committee OF four OF the
most reputable citizens OF Butte who's
names are at our disposal called at The
MINER office and presented the following.
As all classes are entitled to a hearing on
this important subject the communication
is given space: .
TO the citizens of Butte: At a meeting
of many citizens held last evening, the
actions of the Knights of Labor were freely
discussed. 1t was the opinion OF al! that
the time given the Cinnamon for leaving the
city was too short and would work great
injury to the citizens now employing Chi
namen: That the threat to drive the Chi
pamen out by force would greatly intiame
the vicious class OF the city to burn and
kin. and would finally compel the defense
of the Cinnamon by the United States
troops; that a repetition OF the Rock
Springs massacre would harm the city more
than the continuance Of the Cinnamon Tor
Years to come; that violence offered TO Chi
namen would be a fragrant violation OF the
treaty rights now granted by our Govern
ment to Cinnamon under treaty with Emma;
and that. since many thousand Americans
and Engiishmen are now living in emma,
violence here would provoke persecution
and perhaps the killing OF these, our fellow
countrvmen now in China. These citizens,
therefore, appeal to all their fellow citizens
that they use all possible influence against
the employment of violence in dealing with
the China men in the present Crisis OF analrs.

the call for the purpose of establishing q
free library and reading room, assembled
last evening at the Office of Judge Lippin-
colt.
On motion Lee Sharpe, Esq, was called
to the Chair and said: 1.-THE object is q com.

Jno. F. Forbis. ESQ.,, said that he had
upon several occasions previously been In
terested in such movements as that, but
they had all proved failures. An attempt
was made to found a circulating library,
but it dwindled away. He then read the
fish libraries and assess and collect taxes Tor
that purpose.

TON CANNON
Wants to Fight Patsey Cardiff, the
Minnesota Slugger.

Two weeks ago Adon Butler, the famous
light weight wrestler, at present in this city,
sent q challenge to the St. Paul Dispatch,
Offering to match Tom Cannon, to fight
Patsy Cardiff, according to the rules Of the
London Prize Ring, with hard gloves, the
fight to take place either at St. Paul or
Butte City. The st. Paul Dispatch has the
OF interest to our sporting men:
PATSY Cardiff a last night shown Adon
Buffers challenge to match a man named
Cannon against him. The Minneapolis
slugger thereupon delivered himself of the
following bluff, which is about equivalent
to two deuces:
HE smiled audibly through his tears as
he thought of himself boxing Tom Cannon,
an obscure wrestler, who has no reputation
Tribune. 'This man Butler" said Patsey,
is a little ~non-cOmp0s mentis, and I don't
believe he has any authority to match Can
non. Cannon I know very well. He is a
good wrestler. but knows nothing about
boxing; never boxed in his life. It's a
scheme to make a little money out of
my reputation here as u sporting man.
This Butler is a plain, everyday barber,
h is after d little money. He dis
plays his ignorance OF. boxing when he
says he thinks Cannon superior to Miles
McNally or Duncan Mcdonald. Pete Nc
Coy, weighing 100 pounds, whipped Nc
Donald, and McNally, never won but one
match and that was with some unframed
cowboy. You can say that I won't demean
myself to make a match with any of these
people, but if Cannon can show where he
ever fought with small glovesI will give him
500 or $500 to stand before me four
rounds. l am not going to Butte City, and
l am not looking for challenges to fight to
a finish with any such crowd. In a week or
twol am going to give an exhibition here
and If Cannon wants to come in l will box
him four rounds on the above terms" Mr..
Cardiff can neither friends nor lame by pur-
suing such q course. Mr.. Bntler is a gentle
man who takes great interest in athletic
sports: and if there were more like him
there would be fewer hippodroming events.
The sporting editor Of the Dispatch has
known Butler for years, and knows that
when he say a thing he means it. He has
authority to match Cannon or he wouldn't
write so positively to this paper. az he did.
1t makes no difference whether Cannon has
a record or whether he hasn't. If Cardiff
wants to crawish let him do so without
any pugilistic sarcasm, or any dirty filings
at his equals musculary or his superiors
intellectually. But if he doesn't, let him
come up and meet the challenge squarely.
Otherwise. toss up the sponge"

TOM MANNING.
The Portland, Oregon. Sporting Man
in Butte City.

Tom Manning, the famous middle-weight
prize fighter and champion club swinger OF
the Pacific coast. is paying Butte City a
visit. Mr.. Manning's home is in Portland,
Oregon, and he has engaged in several bit
terly-contested prize fights on the Pacific
coast. One OF the most stubbornly con-
tested fights ever fought was between Mr..
Manning and one Morgan, which took place
at Knapp's Landing, Wyo:, on October IA,
1883. The fight was conducted according
to the London Prize Ring rules, and was
for $500 a side. Ninety-nine rounds were
fought, when the referee decided the fight in
favor OF Mr.. Manning. We understand that
Mr.. Manning stands ready to arrange a
match with any person in this city in club
swinging, while perhaps any of the middle
weight pugilists who desire to make a
match with the Portland fighter, can be &C
commodated. MI. Manning is at owen
Morgan's, the Park street saloon keeper, at
which place he would be pleased to meet
any OF the sporting men OF the city. Mr..
Manning has in possession the club swing
ers' championship medal of the Pacific
coast, which is an elegant piece OF work.

cOlORs T1NTs AND SHADES.

Ecru is by all odds the most fashionable
color worm.
Twine color and green continue to be a
favorite combination.
Cream color and sulphur are Il ~favorite
combination in etamine.
Ell Mahdi note paper is a sanguinary red,
distressing in effect.
Black is the leading color in hosiery, and
fancy stripes are popular.
Colored cheese cloth is now dignified by
the soubriquet OF Turkish yelling.
Cream and white lace are worn over
foundations Of chartreuse, amber, orange,
pink and blue.
Byzantine designs and colors are novel
ties, and they will probably be extensively
used f~or'trimmings.
Green will be much worn during the au-
tumn, the softer shades, reseda and olive
being the favorites.
A very dark maroon and olive-green pom
gee are worn, and look especially stylish
when worn with a bonnet in which the same
shade OF yellow is the prevailing color.
The enormous quantity Of lace used on
both bonnets and costumes ndescribably
softens the most trying shades. Delicate
rose color may be used with these pale
green's for a fair. pale complexion, creamy
or black lace for a rosy brunette, and a
rosy blonde may add golden lace, or black
gold, or gold embroidery.

Rocco jewelry, like that worn by the
Italian peasants, is very popular.
Lizards, spiders, butterflies. mice and
ravens are some OF the odd fanries in jew

wall-howers and crimson and gold nastur-
tium blossoms and sprays Of elderberries
mingled with foliage, the berries exquisitely
shaded, are favorite garnitures for both
hats and bonnets.

Sheets and coverlets have attained a gor-

Lace curtains, lace pillows, all to match.
A woman looks bewitching in all this white
cobweb fabric.
The lace of the upper sheet extends all
around, is not tucked under, but forms the
border trimming OF the light blue satin or
pink coverlet.
The part of a sheet that is turned over is
a delicate piece ii lace work in which ap
pears the monogram and coat OF arms in
relief. Nor is that a sham, but a genuine
part OF the sheet that must be laundried
every time the sheet is.

Dakota

BISMARCK, d. T., September 16.-The
prosecution in the Marquis de Mores MUIR

the stand, testified as to the general law
l~essness OF O'Donnell, Finnegan and Luff'
sey; how they rode about the Little Mis-
souri, shooting at the knot holes OF the
house, holes in tents, etc. That no matter
who killed Luffsey it was only a question
of who was killed first. It looks now as if
