Company In Trouble

The Anaconda gent OF the Pacific Express
Company In Trouble.
BUTTE, July 25.-[Speeial TO the Inde-
pendent l-For the past two or three days
a Denver detective, in the service of the
Pacific Express company, has been in
Butte investigating the affairs of the COM
paDy in this vicinity. and yesterday morn
ing went down to Anaconda and arrested
Mr.. w. II. Kennedy, the Anaconda agent
OF the company. Mr.. Kennedy was brought
up to Butte yesterday afternoon and held
under police surveillance, and passed the
night under guard at the county Jail, though
he was not confined. The company's Off
GERS allege that he is short in his accounts
from $500 to $500. This morning he was
taken down to Anaconda again, pending
an investigation of his books, which is
being carried on by Route Agent Carroll
Smith, of Ogden, and Assistant
superintendent Daniels, of Salt Lake City.
Mr.. Fay, OF ShoshOne, Idaho, has been
placed in temporary charge OF the a ma
conda Office. Those who know Mr.. Kenne-
dy are very reluctant to believe that he
has been guilty of any cIookedness. He
has been in and about Butte for five or six
years. He was baggage master and station
agent at Silver Bow for the Montana Union
and atterward had the express run between
Anaconda and Butte for long time. He
is German, about 30 years of age and
unmarried. He has always borne an ex-
cellent reputation.

ADMITTED TO BAIL,

Miiroy. Indicted for the Murder Of Pat
rick DooIey. Is Released Prom Jail.
Theodore MIlroy, who was Indicted at
the April term of court at Deer Lodge by
the grand jury for the murder of Patrick
D0Oley, was yesterday admitted 70 bail in
the sum Of $40. 900.
The killing occurred at New Chicago
last March. and was a result Of an old
feud, the particulars OF which the ISDE-
PENDENT readers are familiar with. Mil
roy was remsnded TO the custody of the
sheriff without bail and has been confined
ever since. When Milroy was placed in
jail he was a strong man and weighed $50
pounds, and since his confinement has
wasted down TO las pounds. Those
acquainted with the case say that the Deer
Lodge jail Is not ht for a pound, much less
for humans, and the wonder Is expressed
that many of the prisoners survive until
they are transferred 20 another Jail or set
at liberty.
Last week Attorneys Duffy and Knowles
made application for a writ Of habeas cor
pns, which was granted, and yesterday the
case was argued before Judge DeWolfe,
Duffy and Knowles appearing for MilTOy
and Titus and Wallace for the territory.
The grounds set forth In the application are
thar proof is not positive or the presump-
ton great that MilrQT is guilty Of murder
in the first degree. also on account Of the
illness OF the prisoner OccasiOned BY i'm
prisOnment. Mrs Milroy was present dur
ing the hearing, and Wept most Of the time.
Judge Devote admitted Milroy 70 bail,
and II Is stated such men as L > Larable
and j. B. MeMssters will stand good for
the $50 900 bond, which amount II is said
Milroy can furnish in cash II necessary.

THE PAwNeaokeR's LAW.
How II is Evaded In Helena by shrew,
Salesmen-

How n IL Evsded In Helena by shrewd
Sa1esmen-
Judge Jos. Davis pswnbroker and Junk
dealers law went into effect Immediately
upon its passage during the last legisla.
ture, and the object of the law was 70 cut
down the immense profits of these institu-
tions, the proprietors of which have been
realizing 10 and 20 per cent. per month in
terest. Judge Davis law intended that no
more than 3 per cent. should be charged,
and there are three pawnbrOkers who have
taken out pawnbrOker's license and are
complying with the law. The others eyade
the law by taking out merchants license,
and while they claim TO buy and sell col
lateral, they are conducting the regular
pawnbrOking business They issue bills
of sale and guarantee 70 sell collateral
back TO the original owner for q stated
sun. A reporter visited one Of these places
yesterday TO see how they conducted
the business. He had Waterbury watch
in his pocket and asked what per cent in
terest would be charged That would de-
pend upon how much OF a loan was wanted
The reporter said he had at one time bOr-
rOwed $40 on the watch, which he was
careful 10 conceal, and was told that 10 per
cent. interest would be charged. "Then
you do charge interest ~ asked the scribe.
ayes, SIR" was the reply. and with a ner-
vOus twitch the clerk said, ''that is, ! won't
charge any interest at all. We don't loan
money on goods. l Will buy your watch,
and IL you want $40 on it, [ will sell il 70
you again in thirty days for S44," and
promising 10 call again the reporter left
wondering IL Joe Davis knew how effect
lively bis law was working.
