A leaden haze settled down over Butte,
early last evening, which gave a weird
appearance to all objects and completely
hid the surrounding mountains from
view. 1t was the smoke from the forest
fires to the north and west.

x0f the HlGG<CW 4aoE
proposition of Conrad u
-atuti0nal ~conyention, providing
no new county shall be formed nm.
aess It shall contain tllkable property to
the amount Of $3yOOOyOOO, and that the
remaining county shall have property
valued at 100000, is an outrage, and
would work particular hardship on such
a sparsely settled county as dawson, for
instance. The county seat is Glendive,
and the Herald" cites this hypothetical
case:
Suppose q crime should be committed in
Glasgow, and as many AZ fifteen Witnesses
should be required to 60 to Glendivs. By
railroad the distance is $40 miles, the
round trip therefore is / TAO miles, at Is
cents per mile. amounts to the sum OF
1851 for zach witness: multiply thai by Id
o the enormous sum Of $8,765 win
a the mileage for Witnesses in q
single case; add to this the mileage Of off,
GERS, and the grand total will reach $4,000.
At least two days will be required to 60
the same to return, making four on the
road at 50 per day, makes $12 for each
witness, besides the time consumed during
the trial. In case OF q new trial, or per.
haps a postponament, these figures would
be more than doubled, thus adding enor-
mously to the expense. In view OF these
facts We a readily see why many OF the
extremely large counties are burdened with
debt which could have been avoided by re-
ducing the distances to seats OF justice.
There is, doubtless, much force in the
logic Of the Herald" and it would be
In the convention to carefully con-
'ider the subject from every point Of

A Live Trout Found in a Block of Ice.


From the Virginia City, Nevada, 'Chron.
icle": John Connerton, the Comstock
ice king, while loading his wagon, early
yesterday morning, noticed a dark SUBJ
stance in the center OF a block OF ice,
and removing the sawdust from the
surface OF the block discovered a trout
frozen in the Lter OF it. He placed
the ice in q tub of water and when he
returned home q few hours later the
block had melted and he was aston.
ished to find the fish, which had been
held in it's icy grasp for several months,
swimming about in the tub. The trout
though slightly emaciated, is not other
wise the worse for it's long last. Had the
ice king discovered a snake in the tub in
stead Of a trout, his veracity might have
been questioned.

PrTTsBURG, July 12.-One hundred
Pinkerton men armed with Springfield
rifles arrived here this morning from
Philadelphia and were taken to the
Homestead Bessemer Steel works of
Carnegie, Phipps g. Co. They will be
placed about the mill property to pro-
tect it and the workmen from the

in a posse of 100 deputies for the same
purpose. The struggle promises to be
the most bitter in the history of strikes
and lockoutS in this section. Both
sides are determined and long fight
is anticipated. Everything was quiet
about the works this morning. No
more men have arrived and the plant
is still silent.
AT noon lbs deputies under ex-Sher-
Tiff Gray, arrived on a train at Home
stead. They were Immediately sur
rounded by strikers to the number of
nearly a thousand and requested to re-
turn to the city. The deputies refused
to do so, and the crowd would not allow
them to enter the mill. AT l 30o'clock

but no outbreak had occurred. The

Grand Encananmanr


MILWAUKEE, July 1.-THE unde-
cisive character of the order concern
ing the coming grand encampment
issued by Commander Warner at
chamberlain last evening, served to
further complicate matters here and
everything at encampment headquar-
tiers is hOpelessly adrift. The ques-
ton OF recending the cities invitation
to the e. A. R., will come up at to-
nights meeting of the encampment
council, and warm time is expected
as local G. A. r. men are widely at
variance in their opinion as to the
proper course to pursue. There is an
evident intention to have blow out of
some sort in any event, and if the en-
campment cannot be had, a grand re-
union is proposed at which a naval
battle is to be the chief event. The
opinion is freely expressed, however,
that no more public money ought to be
expended. Mayor Brown has not
signed the resolution setting aside the
$40, GOO, but he will not veto
it. 1t will become operative
tonight without his signature. A dis
patch from Chicago states that Gem
eral Martin of the Illinois department
who was chosen to draft the order dis
couraging attendance at the encamp-
ment, is holding the document pending
a final answer from Chairman Blanch-
ard, chairman of the Central aSsocia-
ton, who is now in New York. If his
decision is unfavorable, the discour-
aging circulars will be issued to several
departments tonight.

NEW YORK, July 12-An evening
paper says: To-day deputy sheriffs are
scurrying about town in search of
Stephan w. Dorsey. They hold an
execution against his body on an order
issued in the supreme court yesterday
by Judge O'BVien. The Nevada bank
of San Francisco has a claim against
ex-senator Dorsey for over $1,000. The
bank brought suit and recently obtained
a verdict to recover 81 ,6O2.76. This
judgment was not liquidated, so an
order was granted by the court direct
ing Dorsey to submit TO supplementary
examination as to his property. This
edict from the court was disobeyed. So
Judge O'Brien yesterday fined Dorsey
the amount of the judgment for con-

amount of the claim, with sheriff
fees attached, he will be placed under

How to Make Cheap Gas.

CHICAGO, July ia morning paper
says: A London syndicate is in Chica-
go, or at least some of its representa-
tives are. They know how to make
cheap gas over in the old world. They
can make it for eight cents per thous-
and cubic feet in the holder. 1t sur
prises them that Americans keep on
paying from one to two dollars for what
they can have at twenty-five cents.
This syndicate therefore proposes to
$40 100000 and to put in plants for
making cheap gas all over the United
States, following the line of the least
resistance and LARGEST profits.
