NEW PIPE LINE SCHEME.
A Project to Keep the Union Pacific out
of the Field.
Helena, Mont, Independently

Helena, Mont, Independent
1t is stated that an effort is now being
made in New York city to form a syndi-
cate for the construction of a pipe line
from the Wyoming oil fields in the Big
Horn country to a point near the North
ern Pacific railway. This is a great
scheme and should it be successfully car
ried out would open up a new and highly
important enterprise. Thes pipe lines
are in existence all through the oil fields
Pennsylvania and Ohio and have been
built by the Standard Oil company. 1t
is said hat this same company have an
eye on the Wyoming ell fields and are
largely interested in the projected branch
of the Union Pacific from Fort Fetterman
in Wyoming to the Big Horn country
known as the Midland route. 1t has also
been intimated that the Northern Pacific
railroad is interested in the organization
of this pipe line syndicate. the object be-
ing to shut out the Union Pacific and its
connection with the Billings, Clarke's
Fork & Cooke City line, which proposes
30 penetrate this oil region. 1t is gwen
out that this latter company has settled
all of its obligations and has plenty of
funds to its credit in the bank.

Can You Blame Hint

A telegram received at Union Pacific
headquarters here yesterday gives meager
particulars of a railway accident with a
pretty interesting story behind it. The
message recites that Gibson A. Condle
was seriously injured by jumping from a
rapidly moving train between the townso of
Weber and Peterson, Utah. The man
was taken to Ogden with all haste posi-
bic and is receiving the best of care there
at the expense of the company.
Zone of the Cheyenne-O Ogden mail agents
who heard of Condie's misfortune says he
is well acquainted with the man and that
under thee circumstances falling from a
moving train must have been quite arelief
to him.
Condie. who was well-to do, was, until
a few weeks ago, the head of u household
including three young wives. There was
no serious trouble in the family until a
dashing brakeman appeared on the scene
and with almost unparalleled sudacity in
dustriously made love to the trio of Mrs.
Condies. The husband raised a row but
was suppressed by his wives. all OF whom
seemed charmed with the bold masher.
Condie became morose, seemed to lose
interest in all happenings, and was only
awakened to a realization of the state of
his domestic affairs by the disappearance
of his wives, leaving him with seven chill
dren ranging in age from 6 months to IA
years.
The forsaken man engaged a house
keeper to manage his home and continued
to NOPE about in a manner which clearly
indicated that his mind had been affected
by the singular elopement. The brake
man, it was learned, brought up in Wash
ington Territory with but one wife.
The mail agent is certain that Condie
was insane when he ENDANGERED life and
limb by jumping from the morning train.

of the man who had so bitterly and ,te-
naciouslY fought the great organization
which is the pride of all workingmen.
Mr.. Stone is a middle aged man of med
ium height. stocky build and genteel APP
pearance. His eve is of the sort desig-
mated as quick. He is an admirer of
