told, he declined because he was re-
quested to by President Harrison, and the

The Man Who Held Up Stages and Trains
. Captured.
MARQUETTE. Mich. August 31.-"Black
Bart" a lone highwayman OF Wisconsin
was captured at Republic this morning,
The particulars OF the capture are not yet
received.
He is the man who On Monday held up
the Geogebic stage while there were foul
prominent people in it-Donald Mac.
kerchar, Of the First National bank OF Min,
neapolis; A. G. Flerschbein. of Belleville,
ILL.,; Robert Pintoal. OF the Bank of Mon
treal, Chicago, and VIM. Paddon, OF South
Chicago. When he stopped the stage and
demanded that the party leash in," one OF
them began firing at him. The robber re-
turned the fire. Mackerchar was badly
wounded, but will recover. Flerschbein
was hit twice and fell out of the coach,
while the horses dashed away with the rest
OF the party. The robber went through
him and disappeared. Three hours later
Flerschbein was picked up and cared for,
but died that night.
Parties with ~bleodhounds at once organ
lied and a systematic hunt began which
ended as above ended. Black Bart's real
name is Keymunde Holzhey, and he has
been a terror to the country around here,
holding up stages or railroad trains in

ANNOUNCEMENT

In order to keep abreast Of the grow.
ing demands Of this community for
news and to accommodate the continual.
ly increasing encroachment upon its
columns made by advertisers, the propri.
etors of THE MINER have for some time
had under contemplation the necessity
Of Its enlargement to a size commensur-
ate with these wants. Orders have been
placed for the material to print a nine
column folio, and as soon as it arrives
definite announcement will be made of
the date of enlargement. Its force of
employees will be doubled and extensive
arrangements have been made to supply
Its readers with all the current news of
the day. This enlargement will entail
the mourning of large additional ex-
pense, but there will be no increase of
price to subscribers. The proprietors
hope by thus meeting the wants of the
community to receive a proportionate
recognition Of their efforts in the in
creased patronage they feel certain it
will deserve. The city of Butte has
passed beyond the stage Of a mining
camp and has donned the airs of metro
greatness. In the new state of
Montana it is the first city in point of
size, and the material improvement it is
undergoing, both municipal and as the
result Of private enterprise require that
Its newspapers should keep pace with
the march Of improvement.

HORSE STEALING INDIANS.
Through the Untiring Efforts of Stock In
spector Matthews They are Arrested.

From the Fort Benton "River Press:
On the 9Th instant a party OF Indians,
belonging to the Belknap agency, who
wanted ONE cheap horselesh, stole a
band OF thirty.six horses near Fort Mac
leod in the Northwest territory. They
kept dropping them along the line OF their
travel until they had but six when they
arrived at their agency.
Word OF the theft was Immediately wired
to Stock Inspector Matthews at this place,
when that officer at once started in pur-
suit of the red thieves. After three weeks
of pretty sharp detective work, the gang
were found and brought to this city, this
forenoon, and placed in the county jail.
They will have their examination to.mor-
row before Justice Duff. The Indians said
the reason they dropped the horses was be-
cause they were afraid to bring them into
Fort Belknap.
Inspector Matthews deserves great credit
for his perseverance, in bringing these horse
thieves to justice, as their conviction will
break up q gang that has caused much
trouble to horse owners on both sides of
the line. He is the right man in the right
place.

GET RID OF THE FIRE BUG.

YEA "hD oE lnH T1nG DONs
Popular indignation is beginning to
find expression at the incendiary fires in
this city-for there is no longer a doubt
as to most of the recent CONGREGATIONS
being Of incendiary origin.
What action the people will take to rid
themselves Of this vile apology for a
human being, the fire bug, remains to be
seen.
1t is safe to assert that some effort will
be made, for the people are now aroused
to the fact that life, as we'll as property,
is continually menaced in the presence of
the fiend who would deliberately burn
down buildings.
Butte must rid itself of this monster
once.

THE COPPER sIruATIoN.

James Lewis & Sons Liverpool mid
monthly report Of copper says that, not
withdrawing the large quantity Of good
merchantabIe copper still held by banks
and firms who advanced money upon it
to the late syndicate, the number Of war
rants offered for sale has been very linn
tied, and high prices have consequently
been paid for them to meet prompts fall
ing due. This has had a material effect
upon the quantity taken for consumption
and the deliveries OF Chile bars during
the pasi fortnight have been only 56S
tons, the requirements of smelters being
supplied from the large arrivals of fur
mace material, which remains compare
lively much cheaper than the G. M.
copper.
From e42 on the list instant, the
price of good merchantable advanced to
eA on the 7th for cash, but has
since declined to e43 12s. 3d.. at
which there are sellers at the close. For
three months prompt a reduction Of EOS.
to 25s. per ton on the cash value has been
accepted.
The sales Of furnace material continue
large at an advance of 11sd. to Sd. per
unit upon what was realized at the close
Of last month, while English copper
is 81 to 81 los. per ton better, $50
tons of best selected having been sold by
the Cape Copper Company for the Cont
nent at e48 and 64S los. per ton.
For manufactured copper the demand
continues very good, and early delivery
is difficult to obtain.
The presence Of a leading representa-
tive Of the American producers in Lon
don and Paris has led to reports of fresh
negotiations with the Liquidator of the
Compton d'Escompte and the present
holders Of the large stock for a limita-
tion of production, so that the stock may
be gradually reduced without detriment
to the value Of copper.
A spool" has been arranged between
the American producers for the proper
tionate sale Of Lake copper at IL cents,
and of casting copper at II cents per
pound to American consumers, the guam
THY supplied by each producer for export
being also fixed. However, Lewis & Son
think it is doubtful if this agreement
will last very long.
In furnace metals the sales represent
about $3.50 tons Of fine copper.
Public stocks have increased SO tons
the past fortnight, and the visible sup
ply 46 tons.
Imports into England for the past
seven and one-half months are 1895
tons less than for the same period last
year, and the deliveries are 1866 tons
greater. The arrivals from the United
States have been 1895 tons fine in Liver
pool and Swansea, and 3 in France, and
7O3 tons fine in Liverpool, and
81 in France.

DEMOCRATS OF MONTANA ,

The most important election in which
the people were ever called upon to par
ticipate is but thirty days off.
Never since the organization Of the ter
tory has the Democracy been SO united
or seemingly 50 invincible. Our cause is
Just, our candidates invulnerable, and
our victory ought to be certain. There is
but one danger to be feared, and that is
a failure to register. Let every man that
deserves well Of the coming state, see to
it that he is not disfranchised By that
vicious and partisan registration law,
which ought to have been entitled can
act to disfranchise the farmers, miners
and stockmen Of Montana" and which
was born of the first Republican legisla-
ture Of Montana.
Register, and do SO at once, and thus
rebuke the party that enacted such a
law. Delay is dangerous. In order to
vote you must register on or before Sep
TENDER 18th.
Let the naturalized citizens Of this
territory who have been voting Nnmo-
Tested for years, hunt up their papers
that they have not seen for ten years,
and 60 to the place of registration and
register, and at the same time register a
VOW to rebuke the political party that
puts you to this great Inconvenience and
practically DISTINGUISHES you by the alb
surd provision which requires you to
produce your papers, and in some in
stances to travel a hundred miles to reg
lister before you can exercise the rights
of freedom.
To all who are interested in good gov
ernment, we ask you to read the plat
form of our party. Examine the public
and business records of our candidates,
pursue and investigate them in all their
relations to the public, to the last and
final analysis, and we are confident that
you will find them worthy MOntanians,
men who will guard and protect her
interests at all hazards.
Register and tell your friends to regis
ter, and get a certificate from the regis
trar which will entitle you to vote any
in the county in which you reside.
