The Placer Wins 1t.

BUTTE. May 6.-Another big mining
controversy in Butte has just been set.
tied by the department of the interior.
The case was that of quartz-placer
contest between a half hundred or more
people interested In the Kemper addi-
ton. Mr.. Kemper secured placer
patent to the ground. Afterwards a
quartz vein was discovered and the
Monitor located and a contest at once
started against the placer. While the
contest was pending the Ground SOUR
rel was located and worked under the
placer title by Mr.. Kemper and was
afterwards sold to J. b. Haggin. The
quartz locators tried hard to get the
placer patent set aside, but the decis-
ion from the secretary of the interior
settles the matter for good in favor of
the placer.

TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

Desperate Indian Prisoners Jump From
Cage and Break Their Necks.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, May 5.-Two of
the three Navajo Indians confined in
the county Jail here on the charge of
numbering M. D. Smith, merchant and
Indian trader at Defiance Station on
the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, few
days ago, attempted suicide yesterday.
At o'clock in the morning two of the
Indians assembled to the top of cage
with the intention of jumping OF head
first, but were pulled down by other
prisoners. They were persistent, how
ever, hastily jumped up again, and
jumped of head foremost. One of them
struck an iron bar in his descent, break.
ing his neck; the other fell on the stone
floor of his cell, fracturing his skull.
The third Indian concluded not to make
the attempt when he saw the sad
plight of his companions. Strange to
say, the Indian with a broken neck is
not yet dead, while the other will re.

A TALK FOR SILVER
French Delegates Speak in Favor of
international BimetaliSm.
SILVER SENATOR'S VIEWS
A'Single Standard OF Gold, Senator Hill
Says. Means the Impeachment
of the People.

LONDON, May AT the morning ses-
sion of the international bimetallic con.
ference at the Mansion house, Sir Will
lam H. Houldsworth read paper on
"the effect upon agriculturalists, manu-
facturers, wage earners, merchants,
bankers and investors of all general
level prices" Nj. Therey, the French
delegate. warmly urged the establish
ment of an international bimetallic
league. The proposal was cordially
supported. A pamphlet upon the silver
question just published by Sir Joseph
McKenna, ex-director of the National
Bank of ireland, is creating sensa-
tion in financial circles, and at the b.
metallic conference. 1t showed that
Lord Liverpool's legislation of 1916 was
simply fraud. 1t is added that Lord
Liverpool made paltry gain, not for
himself, but for the treasury. Sir
Joseph McKenna acquits Lord Liver
pool of intentional dishonesty and at.
tributes the fraud TO his stupidity. The
silverites claim that when this is under
stood 1t will strongly influence public
opinion in favor of the re-establishment
of bimetalism.

JUDGE JENKlNSxCENsURED.

His Northern Pacific Order Gross Abuse
OF the Power of the Court.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Representative
Boatner, chairman of the special COM
mittee of the house judiciary committee
appointed to investigate the Northern
Pacific decisions of Judge jenkins, to-
day submitted to the full judiciary COM
mittee majority report of the special
committee. The report says that the
orders of the court reducing wages and
prohibiting the employees from quitting
work were a gross abuse of the power
Of the court, were supported by neither
reason nor authority, were beyond the
jurisdiction of the Judge and were
therefore void. The second or supple.
mentary writ was more reprehensible
than the first because the Judge was ad-
vlsed before he rendered it of the exact
object and purposes sought to be accom-
plished.
The committee does not recommend
impeachment, as there was no testi-
mony Indicating any corrupt intention
upon the part Of the Judge.

CURED at the Painter Coke company's
works at O'Clock this morning. The
company made an effort to start up this
and the other plants Tuesday, and to-
day the women determined to drive the
"Black Legs" from the works with tin
pans, clubs, coke forks and brooms.
They marched to the coke yards. San
ford White, mine superintendent Ewing
B. Roddy, bookkeeper, and lot of dep
uties were on guard. A shot was fired
to scare the women. The men rushed
to the scene and White opened fire on
the crowd that numbered over hun
dred. At the first fire three men fell
wounded, one shot through the thigh,
one through both legs and the third in
the neck. The women carried off the
wounded and the Infatuated men set
upon White and Roddy. White was
beaten over the head, knocked down
and kicked and bruised about the body.
His recovery is doubtful. A big Hun
garian had White down and was stand
ing over him with an ak, when he was
knocked down by James Tarr, the store
clerk. Roddy was at first thought to be
badly injured, but he escaped with only
slight bruises. While all this was going
on the deputies shot one woman, who is
said to be dying. 1t is now believed
that at least sixteen were shot. There
is great excitement throughout the en-
tire region. The strikers are becoming
desperate and mobs are assembling at
various points to raid the plants.
DR.. w. H. Cole, the company pbysi-
clan, states that fifteen strikers went
down in three charges. Three men and
one woman were carried off the ground
after the first charge and when the
mob finally retreated they bore away at
least ten more. Three were left near
the works, two of whom will die. White
is suffering intense agony and his re.
covery is doubtful. Roddy is believed
to be fatally wounded. 1t is feared the
foreigners will avenge the death of
their.countrymen. 1t will not be sur
prise here should the strikers resort to
dynamite to Blow up the works.

LOST IN THE WEST
Iowa People Who Have Wandered
Away From Home.
TOOK THE WRONG PATH
Buttes Police Ofiicers Asked to Hunt Up
Several Persons Who Arc Supposed
to lie in the West.

BUTTE, May 5.-Jacob Schaff of No.
239 Wabash avenue, Chicago, has writ
ten to the chief of police for informa-
ton concerning his brother, Fred c.
Shaft, who, he says, lived in Butte and
Rochester, Madison county, for the last
nine years. The latter made his home
at one time with MIR. Guenther here
and afterward lived at No. GIL South
Dakota street. For the last two years
he spent most of his time in Rochester,
where he was engaged in mining, COM
ing to Butte occasionally. The brothers
corresponded regularly.
In his last letter, which reached Chi
cago March /, Fred told his brother he
was suffering good deal with pain
in his side. On Sunday, March 10, he
telegraphed his brother for money,
telling him he was in trouble. Jacob
wired back asking him the nature of
the trouble, and he replied that he
would send the particulars by mail.
On March 20 Mr.. Schaff telegraphed
his brother SIS, which he, or some one,
received at the Western Union here.
His brother has heard nothing from him
since that time, and the letters ad
dressed to him here and at Rochester
have been returned unclaimed. Mr..
Schaff is very anxious about his brother
and fears that he has met with some
misfortune. The police will try and
locate the missing man.
l.. T. Foster of Creston asks the Butte
police to assist him in locating Henry
Elmer, barber, who was in the city
about two years ago and has not since
been heard from. Mr.. Fosters daugh-
ser, who was then under Is years of
age, ran off with Zinzs r from Des Moines
without marrying him, and her father
is very anxious to ascertain her present
whereabouts. After leaving Des Moines
inner and the girl went to Ogden and
then came to Butte. 1t is not believed
that inner has been iu Butte for two
years, but there is a suspicion that the
girl is still living here under an assumed
name.
A letter has been received at police
headquarters from Lettie Jacobson of
No. al5 North Morgan street, Chicago,
who asks for some information concern
ing her brother, Christian Jacobson,
formerly of Spencer, Iowa, who is now
believed to be in Butte.

Deep Interest Taken All Over the West
In Christian Endeavor Work.
SPOKANE, May 4-John Willis Bear,
secretary of the United Society of
Christian Endeavor, and wife of Boston
arrived last night from Butte and are
registered at the Hotel Spokane.
Mr.. Baer is seemingly young man
for the responsible position which he
fll!s in such a credftable manner. His
work borders on the phenomenal, as
through his efforts new societies nave
the last year. In an interview Mr..
Baer said:
1.-The appearance of your city was
rather an agreeable surprise to me,
especially your magnificent hotel. In
fact" said Mr.. Baer, 1--WE eastern peo-
pie do not, or can not, comprehend the
growth of your western cities. The
stability of your Improvements sur
passes to great degree those of our
cities in the east, which in great
many instances have largar COM
munity to support them than you have
here"
Chow did you like Butte," he was
asked
''Well, it is the most peculiar city
that l ever visited" said he, "and the
only one I ever saw in which you could
not see some evidences of vegetation,
something green. The gaunt, rugged
hills upon which the city rests have
their sides punctured with the shafts of
deserted mines, present a rather deso-
late appearance. AS to the people, we'll
they are rather tough on the outside,
but 1 met some very consecrated Christ
ians at the state convention in Butte,
two delegates having driven sixty-fve
miles in wagon over rough mountain
road, so as to be able to attend the con-
vention, while in the east some hesitate
about crossing the street."
The object of Mr.. Bae1's western trip
at this time is to arrange with the
various railroads for transportation to
the international convention at San
Francisco in 1895.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baer will leave here for
Vancouver, B. c., to attend a provin.
cial convention in that city May 6.
From that place they will visit Cor
Wallis, Ore, where the Oregon state
convention of Christian Endeavor will
be in session and will then proceed to
San Francisco.
