LOW PRICED BEEF.

Arrest OF james Tighs Near New Chicago
on q Serious Charge.
DEER LODGE, May 2S-GSpeciaI to the
Independent l-At various times for the
last year OF so several ranchmen and stock
growers living in and about New Chicago
and DrummOnd in this county have been
missing their stock from their accustomed
ranges under circumstances that led to the
belief that they had been stolen. James
Tighe, an old resident living below Drum
mOnd and who for some time had been
selling beef in large quantities and
at low prices in Philipsburg, Black
Pine, New Chicago, Drummond, Hell
ena and other places, had been
suspected of getting his meat in ways
which would not be approved by the
statutes in such cases made and provided.
The services of detectives were brought
into requisition, and among them James
Connolly, the detective for the Montana
Live Stock Association. IL was found that
Tighe did his butchering on Tuesdays and
Fridays. Last Friday Detective Connolly
found several hides of beeves killed by
Tighe, but the brands were cut out. So on
last Tuesday Connolly with a companion
kept secret watch on Tighe. He saw
him shoot beef and then cut its head OF
and throw it in the creek out of sight He
then skinned the animal. Connolly, think
ing that if he allowed him 70 20 too far, be
might destroy The brand, appeared upon
the scene and arrested him. 1t was then
discovered that the animal belonged TO
Archie McPhail, of New Chicago, and had
his brand. Ii was only a short time since
that Tlghe offered beef for sale
to Mr. McPhail at two cents
per pound. Connolly brought
Tighe 10 Deer Lodge late last night and
placed him behind the bars. No complaint
has been filed yet, but will be as soon as
the witnesses arrive. Judge VIM. J. Gal
bialth has been retained for the defense
The defendant will probably be prosecuted
for an attempt to commit a felony, there
being one element lacking 10 constitute

IMPROVING THE SERVICE.

How the New Administration IL BetterinK
West side Postal AfaIrs.
BUTTE, May 23.-lSpecial to the Inde-
pendent. POSTMASTER Talent has received
a communication from the pOstofiice de-
partment ordering the establishment Of q
free delivery service in this city, with FIVE
carriers. The order further said that the
new service is 10 begin July /, and on that
date the pOstoffices at South Butte and
Walkerville are to be discontinued. This
announcement has created great dissatis-
faction in Walkeryille. There are 400
miners In and about that camp, whom il
will be impossible TO reach with the free
delivery service, and on the abolition OF
the pOstofice at Walkerville these men
will have 10 break days work
in order to come down 70 the postofice.
Petitions against the abolition Of the
Walkerville pOstOG ee were forwarded %
Washington some months ago and a meet
ing has been called for Friday evening, at
which the citizens of WalkerviIle, en-
masse, will protest against the discontinu-
sDce Of their pOstofice. The Walkerville

LONDON. May ga deputation from the
various Irish municipal bodies to-day pre-
sented 70 Parnell an address of congratuIa-
tion upon his success in disproving before

hesped on him. Parnell said he was sure

tinue to use ther privileges not for the pur

would rather have gone to his grave
with the stigma of the letters upon
him than have submitted his country 10

posed TO place on il as the accompaniment
of the inquiry into the authenticity of the
letters. Right had been transgressed un-
der the pretext of an inquiry into crime
A political issue had been laid before men
not competent TO give fair decision. He
had never contemplated the failure of par
liamentary action. IL convinced of its fu-
tiIity, he and his colleagues would not re-
main in the house of commons twenty -four
hours. He believed in the near realization
of heir hopes.

National Interest Aroused a Most Inn
Portant Question.
WASHINGTON, May 23-Since the recent
publication in these dispatches of letter
by the assistant secretary of agriculture re-
specting the existence of a machine that
will take fax fibre from the stalk without
wetting, the mail of the department has
been burdened with letters on the subject
showing national interest One was received
from a manufacturer in the north west, who
has invested $1,000 in the business of fax
manufacture. The writer says he has made
two trips TO Ireland and Belgium and seen
the machinery referred 10, and confirms
all that is claimed. He further agrees
with the original writer that this country
is on the verge of great revolution in the
production and manufacture of flax. Con-
siderable interest is shown in the cores
pOndence in the success OF the experiment
of growing flax more abundantly as a solu-
ton of the difficulties and burdens which it
is said is forced on the farmers of the
northwest by the twine trust. The depart
ment is considering in connection with the
fax question the whole subject of the
growth of tiorous plants, especially ramie,
hemp and jute.

OF the superintendent Asked about the
expensiveness of the Cook county asylum,
as compared with the state institutions, he
said in state institutions the rate is about
eight dollars per capita per month. while
in Cook county il is twelve dollars. He
believed Cook county had paid as high as
fifty dollars per month per capita. The
most expense was for whisky. With 1900
patients in the Ksnkakee 1.-THE northern
state asylum) the liquor bills amount 10
$500 or $500 per year. In Chicago, with an
average of 500 or 300 people, the same bills
amounted TO s.. 900 OF 81 900 The excessive
cost was largely due TO stealing.

est. in Behring Sea

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The ordnance
bureau of the navy department has COM
pleted two of the ten-inch steel breech-
loading rifles for the monitor MiantOnOn-
ich. These are the largest and most pow
erful guns yet turned out for the navy.
One of them has been tested with the most
gratifying results. as IL compares well
with the best products of the renowned
EuTOpea an ordnance works. The muZZle
range could hot be determined on account
estimated at ten miles.
Soon after the contracts are awarded for
the construction Of the new 2, ,5O0-ton gun
boats, preparations will begin at the Wash
ingtOn ordnance yard for the manufacture
of their peculiar ordnance, which is to be
made up entirely of rapid fire guns of ex-
traOrdinary calIbres compared with the
guns # this y pc now in use in our naval
vessels. The largest guns of this kind will
be six inches in cAlibre, but owing 10 the
simplicity and cOmpactness of their mech
anism and construction, they will mate
rally exceed in weight any of the six inch
rifles OF their kind now in use, although
they are fully equal TO them in range and
accuracy and superior in offensive power
by reason of the rapidity of their fire.
The navy department has completed and
will soon issue advertisements for the con-
strucIiOn of three new cruisers, slightly
larger than the Yorktown and of 1000 tons
burden. The limit of cost is fixed in the
act as $3.50, 900 for each vessel. As they
will be longer than the Yorktown, 1t IS ex-
pected they will be more powerful and
faster.
