GOBBlED BY A TRUST.


High Handed Methods Adopted by Our
Tarin Pr","..rd Interests.
a specimen of The high handed meth
od~ adopted by our tariff protecteI
trusts is seen III the following case:
a suit brought by \. d. Bishop, of
Chicago, against the American Preserv-
ers' company and its trustees may be of
more than casual interest. The plain
tiff AYERS that the defendant company
was IA trust in 1888. Plaintiff was manu-
featuring fruit buffers, jellics and pre-
serves. He was practically forced Into
the trust by representations that he
would be ruined if he refused to go III.
Under the trust agreement each firm
was required to turn over its business to
| board Of twelve trustees. who issued
certificates and had power under the
agreement to purchase the stocks and
business of other companies. with the
object of bringing all into the trust and
forcing up prices. These trustees also
had power to elect themselves officers of
the trust, and if any Of the companies iii
the trust wished to increase their plants
they had to apply to the trustees for per
mission. Plaintiff had to open new
set of books in the name of the American
Preservers' trust and to assign his entire
business thereto.
Later the trust, for legal reasons, WAS
organized under the laws Of West Nir-
ginia as the American Preservers'
company. Plaintiff was then required
to make ont u bill Of sale of his plant 10
the new company and give mp his trust
certificates. He was instructed to con
tinue business under his old firm name,
and make monthly reports TO the trus-
tees. After six months of this way Of
doing business plaintiff grew tired. He
rendered the trustees his certificates and
asked the return of his bill of sale.
This WAS refused. and being threat
cncd with financial ruin he again fell in
with trust methods till March !, 1890.
when he took legal counsel and learned
that the trust or organized company
was an Illegal combination. He then
ceased making monthly reports and
carried on business ON his own account.

gentleman said today: "What the police
hope to accomplish by these wholesale

for man being unemployed in Butte,

1000 idle men in the city. it is not sur
prising that several Of them should be
destitute. The Jealous efforts of the
police to rid the city Of worthless char
acters are to be commended. but the
line must surely be drawn at the
arrest of men who try hard to obtain

M'KINLEY'S TIN TAX.
A NOTE OF olscoURAesMENT FROM
THE BLACK HILLS.

Little Tin There and Hard to Get At
Expensive Works Necessary-A Case of
Protection According to william Nc
Kinley. Jr.
A correspondent of New York trade
journal writes as follows about the tin
deposits in the Black Hills:
There is no doubt that there are
enormous deposits of tin ore in Dakota.
but to my mind it is in such shape as to
make its mining problematical. Some
OF the schists are 100 feet thick, but the
cassterite runs unevcnly, being found
in strings, patches and sheets, with IA dip
of about 20 degs. This is similar to the
Cornwall deposits, making constant
change of location i'll working. The per
centagc will probably yield less than :
per cent. Opposed to this expensive
working is that Of Malacca. free from

JOE pEs.G ARRESTED.
Taken to Brntnn Yesterday Afternoon by
sheriff O'NciI.

Joe Pcgg. who was wounded in the
shooting atfray at Sullivan's ranch on
thc Marias last Saturday and brought
here Monday for medical treatment, was
arrested early yesterday morning by the
sheriff of Chotcau county and taken to
| Benton in the afternoon. As already
stated in these columns Pegg is able Ia
walk around regardless of the fact that
| he has bullet hole in his lert lung and
occasionally raises blood. He has been
stopping at the Clm, where DR.. Adams
has been giving him proper medical as
sistance. He was not confined to his
room, but walked around the Office and
/ billiard room of the hotel and acted the
same as any other guest of the house.
He told number of people WedncS
day he intended to go to Helena the next
/ day yesterday to remain until well with
some friends. No one thought it any
! thing out of the way in his going to Last
Chance. in fact it was considered the
/ best thing he could do under the cir
cumstanccs. a man with a dangerous
wound in vital part Of his system
/ should certainly have the assistance and
care Of friends if not of near relatives.

/ here with whom he communicated in
regard to the matter. But somebody in
Choteau county evidently held differ

be learned from Sheriff O'Neil, as he es
corted the prisoner into coach yeste.
| day afternoon, en- route for Benton. y ii
ther would that official tell why Pegg
was arrested, whether to prevent him
leaving the state when he might be
needed as complaining witness or to
hold him for trial for using weapon
with deadly intent. The sheriff was
noncommital on all these points and
advised the newspaper man to wait a
few days, limiting that something was
liable to happen of moment to the cast
in hand in that time.

progress and advancement of this city.
have recently erected cold storage and
refrigerator building in the rear of their

which for convenience and completeness
in every detail has no rival in Montana.
This valuable addition to their facilities
for storing large quantities of fresh meat
fish. poultry, etc. will prove to be an in

The previous high duty of plate glass
