In a dispatch from Missoula, published
in TIE MINER, Tuesday, it. was stated that
the jury returned a true bill against M.
Fitzpatrick, late roadnaster of that divi-
sion OF the Northern Pacific for grand lar
ceny, on a charge of stealing a carload Of
coal. This statement evidently does in
justice to Mr.. Fitzpatrick. Mr.. Fitzpatrick
arrived in Butte, yesterday. from Missoula,
and he declares that he knows nothing OF
such an indictment, and that il one had
been made it is not likely that he would
have been permitted to leave Missoula, I'm.
less under bonds. He declares that he was
not arrested, nor does he know OF any
reason why he should have been. He is
now in the construction department OF the
Montana Union, with headquarters in
Butte, and reputable citizens OF Butte vouch
for the truth of whatever he says.

Manager Shelby OF the Montana Central
that the Manitoba and Montana Cen.
trail have cut the rate on copper matte
from Butte to st. Paul So a ton. The
rates have hitherto been $40 to St. Paul,
$12 to Chicago and $14 to the sea-board,
So that now over these roads the rates will
now be So, $40 and $12. Hitherto the
matte shipments from here have been
nearly equally divided between the Union
Pacific and Northern Pacific roads. Since

trsl has been competing for u share in this
class Of shipments, and this cut will bring
it to the front, unless the other roads can
meet it.
