MissOula's ChampiOnshipf,)

Missoula has the champion ball team
OF the state. having walloped Butte, Hell
ena. Anaconda and Philipsburg.-
Columbian. The above is true. at least.
so far as the Philipsburg team is con-
cerned. The Philipsburg club went to
Missoula and very easily defeated the
Missoulas in an actual game of ball, but
the Missoula boys got their work in by
arranging return game at Philipsburg
upon two different occasions, and failed
to appear, and SO far they have also
failed to give anything like decent ex-
cuse: indeed, they do not appear to be
gentlemenly enough to even attempt any.
and so it can be truthfully said that the
Missoula bail team have ''beat' the Phil
ipsburgs. That is, they have beaten
them out Of about siO0 directly and in
directly: and that, too, without giving
the Philipsburg boys ghost of a show
to do anything but pay for their adver-
tlslng. besides disappointing almost every
resident OF this section.

The Boulder District,

Geo. H. Bradley is in from the Boul
der district, but does not bring any very
encouraging news. Things seem to be
at standstill in that country at present
that is. they are not rushing along as
fast as was predicted this spring. but at
the same time there never was more out
side talk about the district than at
present.
The new gold company have a splen-
did property Mr.. Bradley says, an, they
are preparing to erect a 5-stamp gold
mill. 4 road will be built up the creek
to or in the vicinity of the Sullivan
properties, OF which Mr.. Bradley is fore
man.
The Sullivan is looking fine, and we're
it any place else except where it is-so
far away from where they must get
their supplies-it would be considered
very valuable property, and in the hands
OF strong company, even where it is,
1t would seem to be above the average
mining proposition.

\ Carpenters Union.

The Nail is Informed that the carpen-

organization Of & union. which will pro
badly be branch of the Carpenters. and
Joiners' Union of America. Arrange
ments have progressed so far that quite
lengthy list of names have been secured
as charter members. and meeting is
called for Saturday night, to be held in
John Hamm's shop, on upper Broadway
formerly Bowie's drug store). The union
will be good thing, and will doubtless
prove success The organization is
beneficiary as we'll as protective, and
weekly benefits are paid to its members
who through sickness or accident become
incapable of following their usual avoca-
tion. There is at present no wage differ
ences to be adjusted, though that is no
reason why union should not be orga-
nized, as its beneficiary adjunct is some
thing that no charitably disposed person
can question as always necessary in this
thoughtless and uncharitable world. It
is understood that there are number of
carpenters in the district who belong to
the organization in other places, and who
will be pleased to deposit their cards in
the new union. It is expected that all
carpenters will take an interest in the
matter, and of course cordial invitation
is extended to all to attend the meeting

strand formed of party last Sunday morn
Ing to make terrific onslaught on the
whole feathered tribe. A special car was
put on the early passenger train to haul
their guns ammunition, dogs, ETC., to the
scene of carnage. Their idea seems to
have been to go down the canyon short
distance, drop off man, and so continue
every few miles until the supply was ex
hausted, and then gradually but surely
close In on the unfortunate birds, kill the
Youngest of them and return on the eve
ming train. One of the trainmen is au-
thority for the statement that Agent
Coons lnnocently picked up three or four
boxes OF ammunition and the lunch in
tended for the whole party and jumped
off at the six-mile house. Another
gentleman secured couple of the guns
and shut both eyes and jumped off at the
nine-mile house. Paskill secured the
liquid refreshments and stopped at Flint,
while the others, being little timed as
to their ability to kill any wild chickens,
took the dogs and went down in the val
ley among the ranches, hoping to find
the ranchers absent, in which case they
felt tolerably sure of success. It was a
vain hope; the ranchers don't 90 to church
at this season of the year. They were at
home, and on the lookout for just such
parties. Holland, who seems to have
been more bold than the rest, quietly
slipped up to the back of one of the barns
and deftly wrung the necks of couple
of ducks that we're setting and not desir-
GUS of RAINING away. It required nerve,
as both made fight, but 1t was we'll he
did it as no other game of any kined was
sighted until all were aboard the evening
train on their return home, when some
one called the hunters attention to the
lovely flock of prairie chickens that was
quietly sitting on and along the fence on
the upper end of Albright's ranch Sew
eral other coveys were sighted from the
car window, but the train was already
late and could not wait long enough to
allow the hunters to shoot at them.

gally Performed.
OPERATIONS OF THE ASSOCIATION
A Number of Horses Taken That Are
Known to Belong on the Ranges
Where FOund-Owners Put
to Unnecessary Expense.

| A band of legalized horse thieves. said
to be employed by the stock association,
have been busily engaged in this vicinity
for the past week or SO gathering up
stray horses, or rather horses that they
supposed we're strays. In reality they
took horses that were we'll known by
everybody who frequents the range as
belonging to people who reside here, and
there are several instances where they
have driven horses off of their accus-
toned range and left them and put their
owners to considerable trouble hunting
them.
There may be a law in this state
authorizing these men to gather up
horses that are owned by men working
in mines, and other citizens, and putting
their owners to considerable expense
and trouble to get their property re-
turned; but if there is, the quicker it is
repealed the better.
There was really no occasion for COM
ing into this section, anyway, as the real,
sure enough horse-thieves have been
very active here this year, and have sue
ceeded in driving off not only all the
strays. but a lot of other horses as we'll,
and the people who own horses say it is
hard to distinguish the difference be-
tween the genuine and the legal horse
pirates.
Kelley, Shepard & Co., for whom there
are warrants out now, took valuable
team belonging to Ex-Sheriff Moore,
and about sixteen head of other good
horses, across the boundary line, and
disposed of them at good prices and re-
turned to their Rock Creek haunts and
made another drive. It is said that this
time they headed for Wyoming.
Shepard got off the tram at Drummond
and put new saddle he had purchased
on horse that was tied up there and
rode it to Rock, where, with the other
members of the gang, he helped gather
up the stock for the second drive, and
turned the Drummond pony loose as
being too common, and not worth steal
ing for keeps.
Take it altogether they have done
very neat job of horse stealing, and it
now looks as if they had got safely away,
although it certainly cannot be long un
til they either get jailed or hanged.

"Little Lord FauntlerOy,o

"Little Lord Fauntleroy.''
"Practice makes perfect" Never was
this old but true saying more truly ex-
emplified than by the local "Little Lord
Fauntleroy" company at their last per-
formance here Tuesday night.
People here have been paying the old
time high prices to travelling or so-called
professional shows that positively in no
important particular we're equal to that
of Mrs. Wilton's local talent.
Mrs. Wilton is without doubt great
artist herself, but her little eight-year-old
boy is simply wonder, and the two
songs which he sings in the first act are
we'll worth the price of admission, which
was fifty cents.
Joseph Cardona, as the Earl of DORM
court, and Fred Ferrell, as Hobbs, the
groceryman, were far better than nine
out of ten Of the travelling professional
people. Every member of the company
was worthy of special mention, and the
company as a whole need not fear to play
before any audience, and were they on
the road would receive the support of
the public and the most favorable COM
ments of the press.
It is understood that an effort will be
made to induce Mrs. Wilton to repeat
the play here at an early date. This is
not a complimentary ticket notice, but
it is the sentiment of all who had the
pleasure Of seeing the performance Tues
day night.
Mrs. Wilton and her little boy, ass1s-
ted by Granite local talent, will play
"Is Marriage a Failure" at that place
next Saturday night. A crowded house
should greet them, as little frankie is

SAN QUENTIN JUTE-MILL.
What Its Operations Will Save th

What Its Operations Will Save the
Farmers.
1.-The operations of the San Quentin inte-
MILL" said Charles Sonntag of the Board of
State Prison Directors yesterday, "will prob
ably save the farmers of the State during
the ensuing year $50, 900 in hard coin. This
will result from a rise in the price of iute
and be caused by the fact that the Jute
Committee of the Prison Board bought
when it was low. Last year the crop OF lute
was large aud prices were low.
''The Directors purchased between 6G00
and 1000 bales at an average o. 3.03 cents
per pound. Some was bought as low as
242b cents, aud some as high as $50 cents.
The average was as L have stated. The
present years crop is a practical failure. and
the price has gone up already 10 cents,
with prospect OF being higher. The total
crop is usually about 3,500,GG0 bales. The
price of bags Is sure to advance. The Cal
cutta combine has already got them up to
S4 cents piece, and the tendency, OF
course, in the face of existing conditions,
is TO go up.
'The advance in the price Of jute already
represents $50. coo TO the prison authorities
that is, if the Jute Committee had not Ia i'd
in d supply sufficient To carry the jute-mill
along until next seasons crop is in 1t would
cost them that much more 10 do so now.
The output OF the prison mill is $500, coo
bags and preparations are being made To
double its capacity. The Prison Directors
will probably sell their bags to the farmers
as usual; that is, with small profit
added.
III they do so, 1 calculate that the re-
dured price over the combination or ring
rates will represent saving to the farmers
of about $50, 600 Besides, the sale Of so
many bags at reduced price cannot fail TO
demoralize the market to some extent and
force the combination dealers to take less
than they could otherwise get if the prison
bags were not in existence. The prison
juie-mill is therefore likely to do great
deal OF good this year"

BLACKMAILERS
Prevent Chinese From Start.
ing Cigar Factory.

Ching All Chuey and Fong You Hong,
President and Vice President respectively
of the Hong Tuck Tong, society OF Chi
nese cigar makers, were arrested yesterday
by Detectives Cox and Glennon and charged
with an attempt to extort money from Wong
hing Ling. Warrants were also issued for
the arrest of Chung Ngoa and Lee All You
on similar charge.
Ling is the proprietor of the Chinese cigar
factory at 416 Battery street, and he claims
that the members Of the society entered into
a conspiracy to extort $1,000 from him. at
least he rented the place with the intention
OF starting factory there with a white man
as a partner, and as soon as the Journey
men cigar-makers heard Of this they sum-
moned Ling before the society and informed
him that he would not be permitted to en-
gage in the business venture, and If Chinese
went to work for him they would be fined
heavily by the society.
When the meeting had adjourned certain
members of the society approached Ling's
friends and intimated that by paving a GER
tain sum of money he would be permitted TO
open his factory aud man ufacture as many
cigars as lie pleased. Red posters were
stuck upon the walls in Chinatown prohibit
ing Chinese from going to work for Ling,
After consulting Attorney Carroll Cook
Ling decided to defy the blackmailers, but
evidence, however, was required before the
ringleaders could be arrested.
So Ling and three friends app cared be-
fore the society on Thursday night and
asked how much money was wanted. The
information was impaired that on payment
of $1,000 Ling could commence business and
would not be further molested. Ling did
not pay the money, and the walls were
again adorned with flaming circulars. setting
forth that any one attempting to work for
Ling would be killed.
Although the ringleaders are in Jail
Ling's factory remains closed and he is
vainly endeavoring TO secure cigar makers
TO work Tor him. The accused Mongols
deny the story of attempted blacknail and
say that members of the society will not
work for Ling because they can make 90
cents a thousand more by working for white
men.

At the present day, when speed is mere

1t would be quite feasible to drive the

steamers will be built, and they will be
pushed with an increased consumption OF
coal. The greyhouuds of the Atlantic some
times carry 800 cabin passengers, and twice
as many in the steerage, besides freight at
high rates. The vessels which sail out of
San Francisco for Asia hardly carry an
average of sixty cabin passengers, and fill
up with -four at SIS ton. Under the cir
cumstances, the temptation to make what
the Herald calls ''trsns-Pacific dashes"
must be admitted to be small.

A FEL0N'S ESCAPE.
The Indescribable Hardships of n Florida
Convict,

The IndeScr1babie Hardships OF FLORIDA q
Convict.
Ed W. Rowell, who was arrested at his
mothers home in Petoskey last spring and
taken 20 Jacksonville, Fla, where he was
wanted for forgeries aggregating $4,000 or
$1,000, has abbreviated the two years SEN
tence he received upon pleading guilty by
escaping. His friends at Petoskey have re-
ceived long letter from him. in which he
details at length his prison life and adven-
tures, and it is a thrilling story he tells.
The letter is dated Cairo, Ill, and in it he
relates how he eluded the vigilance Of the
Sheriff in the return to Florida, and escaped
into the mountains near Nashville, and was
recaptured after a weeks chase. After re-
ceiying his sentence he was sent with other
convicts to the phosphate pits. Two hours in
the seOrching sun caused him to tumble over
unconscious. He was allowe ed to rest in the
shade, and after two hours under the trees
he bolted for the woods. TIE guards saw
leg and recaptured. 1t was only flesh
wound. but he made it appear much worse
and was placed in the hospital. where in q
week he was practically recovered but con-
cealed the fact. He was put in charge of
the hospital, and when another convict was
brought III woanded In an attempt to escape
he nursed him until he recovered, and then
sawed off the heavy chains on his legs.
Together they escaped one night to the
woods. Cayenne pepper threw the blood
hounds which were put on their track off
the scent, ana, after indeserbable hard
ships travelling through forests and swamps,
mostly by night, they got 100 miles away,
and then took a train for the North.
Rowell writes that he has been sick with
typhus fever at Cairo, and expects to move
on before the officers follow him. He says
the food of the conyicts is vile and the treat
ment extremely brutal.-Petoskey Mich }
