BozEMAN. July ia 5O-foot bridge, Just
west Of the Boseman tunnel, was burned
very early this morning. The strikers
here declare they are not responsible for
1t and condemn the destruction OF the
property. Some people here believe tho
bridge was burned by gang Of mon from
some OF the mining camps within few
miles Of the tunnel. but this IL mere sup
position.
Some of the railroad men hero say that
the bridge was probably burned through
the carelessness Of o new fireman, who
might havo dumped hot ciuders ON the
frame work, thereby setting the bridge on
fire. A force of 13 men, some Of them be.
ing carpenters, left this afternoon to re-
pair the bridge.

oLNEY Is IN DOUBT.
WASHINGTON, July 17.-Attorney Con-
eral Olney to-day expressed doubts OF the
correctness Of tho published reports ~ TO
the basis and purpose Of tho suit brought
against the Southern Pacific Railway
company ut Los Angeles. Late last week
the attorney general received telegram
from Attorney Denis stating he had ,reas-
ons for believing the Southern Pacific was
not making proper efforts to run ito
trains and asking for authority to
flo against the company bill In equity
/ uu0Sg tuC 0ubk-sNuot 0Cs Va VOAy 1oJOs
This authority was given and its intention
was to compel the company at least to try
to fulfll the contracts II has with the gov.
ernment for the carrying of the mails.
and also to make an effort toward rcsum.
ing interstate traffic.
The conduct Of the Southern Pacific
company had beon In marked contrast
with that Of some other companies In this
respect and 1t was the attorney generals
understanding the suit would be brought
to compel the performance Of its duties
under the law, and, - far 40 he knew, for
no other purpose.
Mr.. Olney questions the correctness oi
that part Of tho report which stated that
ono purpose of tho suit was to cancel and
annul all agreements by which the South.
ern Pacific and certain other companies
were consolidated. 1t 10 the opinion oi
the officials Of the department of justice
| that such consultations arc not only legal
but were contemplated by the interstate
commerce act. Just what tho facts arc
has not been learned.
