BILLINGS. May Especial 10 the Inde-
pendent. Arrangement have been per
fected to-day for the erection Of a $4,000
securing mill at this place. The citizens
have raised a bonus of 81. 900 to be paid
when the mill is ready for operations. Z.
X. Sherry, agent for eastern capital, pro-
poses 70 put in plant with a capacity of
% 600 pounds of wool per day to be secured
for the Boston. New York and Philadel-
phia markets. the machinery OF which will
be of the latest improved automatic pat
tern. A force of l2O men will be required
to operate the mill. which will be driven
by $50 horse power COrliss engine, and
will require for this seasons business
bRildings 3OOxI0O feet, two stories high.
This primary plsDt will be enlarged in
1890 TO sufficient capacity to handle the
clip Of Montana, and the company will
represent capital enough to buy all the
wool needed TO run the mill continuously
throughout the year.
This is a most important industry for
Billings, making her the wool center of
Montana, besides adding materially to her
resident popuIatio6. Ii will result in great
advantage to the wool raisers. producing
competition with representatives of eastern
commission houses, which will result in
the advance of the net price to the pro-
ducer. The merchants and citizens alike
are greatly encouraged over the outlook,
and the town has taken new life with the
prospect in view of the investment Of espi-
tai on the east side of the range.

COURT AT DEER LODGE.
The Civil asd Criminal Business Translates
An Overlooking Docket.

The Civil and Criminal B Business Transacted
An Overlooking Docket
DEER LODGE. May 2-[Special to the
independent THE present term of the
district court for this county will close
next Saturday. During the present week
nothing was done, as all the criminal cases
ready for trial have been disposed of and
the time was too short to take up any civil
cases. Tomorrow and Saturday will be
devoted TO hearing motions and to cleaning
up the docket as to the cases tried.
Only one important civil case has been
tried, namely that Of John X. Quigley VS..
C. G.. Birdsepe ct ux., for a water-right,
which resulted in a verdict for plaintiff,
but which will be argued again Saturday
on a motion for a new trial
The following criminal cases were tried
and resulted in convictions and sentences,
viz: Thomas Fretwell, killing Chinamsn
at Granite, one year; Jesse Stuart, colored,
shooting at another cOlorad woman at An
aconda, two years; Rose Bennett, killing
Frank II. Craven at Anaconda, twelve
years; George Peters, larceny of $3.50 from
the express Office at Garrison. two years.
at Elliston, one year. The following
named persons pleaded guilty to the
charges against them and were sentenced
accordingly: Thomas McGarrul and James
OReily, killing fish, $50 fine each; John
Il. Thiry, forgery, one year; Thomas Dean.
burglary, two years; John Jones, bur
glary, one year, and Henry Phelps, bur
glary, one year.
In two cases tried by jury there were
acquittals. namely, Maggie Flanagan,
grand larceny, and Theodore Milroy, for
drawing deadly weapon in a threatening
manner.
In two cases variances existed between
the proof and the Indictment, and the de-
PENDANTS were held to await the action of
the next grand jury.
The case of Theodore Milroy for the kill
ing of Patrick Dooley, and of George Opp,
for the killing of a ChinamaD at Granite,
were continued for the term.
Eleven divorces were granted and "still
there's more TO follow"
A motion for a new trial in the case Of
August johnson for the killing of John l..
Carlson and in which a verdict of murder
in the first degree was returned viii be
heard on Saturday. Also at the same
time a motion for a new trial will be heard
in the case OF James Campbell, the jury
having found him guilty of an assault with
intent 70 murder Theodore MiIroy and
fixed his punishment at FIVE years
1t is estimated that there are now enough
civil cases on the calendar TO occupy the
attention of the court continuously for
three months and there is no remedy for
us until statehood is reached when we can
have more courts and Judges.

Plots Against England.
E1trasts from speeches Showing the Irish
Leader was Always the Champion
of Lawful Agitation.

LoSDos, May 2-The cross-examinatiOn
of PArnell was continued to-day. Parnell
admitted that Condor. connected with the
Manchester murders as he was. was chair
man Of the reception committee at Wash
ington. Witness always repudiated the
Dynamite and the Physical Force Party of
America and denounced them in the house
of commons. He was not aware that the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette had re-
ported verbatim speech he made at Gin
cinnati, in which be is said to have re-
ferred 10 the severance of the last link be-
tween Great Britain and ireland, or that
its report was like that IN the Irish World.
Parnell admitted that he had not found
ault with the past action of the invincIbles.
He quoted from his speeches and his mani
festo of 1881, denouncing outrages and un-
constitutional action by Irlshmen.
He said he favored the buying out of
landlords in Ireland and making the ten
ants the owners of the land.
The cross-examination of Parnell pro-
ceeded through a mass of detail and was
aimed TO connect him with the Fenisns and
also to show he must have known OF the
plots tO commit murder. Nothing, how
ever. was elicted from the witness 20 show
he was in any way connected with the
Fenians or had any knowledge of murderous
conspirscies. The attorney general re-
marked that old heads could not be- put on
young shoulders. Again pressed by coun-
sci as to whether he had ever denounced
Outrages, PaTnelI read extracts from
speeches delivered by him in 1879, such as,
Let US remain within the law and cOnstI-
tution;" Il hope people will not be tempted
10 initiate the violence and illegal attitude
Of the government" ''the league is perfectly
peaceable and constitutional and there Is
nothing behind it," Parnell further said
that in 1880 he denounced the shooting of
agents as unnecessary and prejudicial,
where there was A suitable league OrganiZ-
alton, but admitted that such dennncia-
ton was insufficient to stop such outrages.
He denied that he was responsible for the
violent articles which appeared in United
ireland, and said OBrien had supreme
control of that paper.
