ANYTHING BUT CHEERFUL NEWS
A Decision to Suspend Operations Of
the Cashier Company Indef.
nitely.
Contracts and Orders for Contemplated
improvements Will Be Can
celled.

James Shields, manager OF the Cast
ner Coal company, arrived in Great Falls
Wednesday afternoon and will go to Belt
today for the purpose Of closing up the
affairs OF the company. In a conversa-
ton with the TRIBUNE upon the subject
MIR. Shields said that the shut down
would be complete and permanent; the
mines would be closed, the pumps
drawn, the store shut up and the goods
in stock sent to Great Falls or elsewhere
for disposal. Further, that the contracts
for machinery for the mine and coking
plant had been cancelled, and the mani
facture of brick for the ovens had been
stopped. Notice OF the decision to close
down had been sent by telegraph to
President Hill Of the Great Northern, ia
order that he might be advised that
there was no need to 60 further with the
construction of the contemplated rail
road spur.
MIR. Shields expressed the deepest re-
gret at being thus forced to abandon

much time and money, for he stated
that he has subordinated all his other
interests to the one object OF making
the Cashier company the success it de
served to be, and in doing so he bad
overtaxed his own strength.
Added to the personal regret which he
felt Tor the condition Of affairs was the
feeling that the close-down was a serious
one to the residents Of Belt, and to a
lesser, but still to a considerable degree.
to the people of Great Falls, who would
be innocent sufferers.
He had taken more pride in the sue
cessful outcome of the Cashier plant
than in any other one thing that he had
been connected with during his long
residence in Montana, and the present
condition annoyed and grieved him. He
had prided himself that the relations be-
tween the company and its employees
were Of the most cordial and reciprocal
nature, and he had never heard Of a
complaint until the sudden receipt Of
the news announcing the strike had
reached him.
In regard to resuming work Mr.. Shields
stated that 30 far as he at pres
ent knew the shut down was indefi-
mite and might be permanent. He was
thoroughly discouraged for the strike
had demonstrated that no matter what
it might do. the company was at the
mercy Of two or three men, who must
have had some other object in view than
the rights or benefit of the miners and
other employees. Even if this strike
were settled there was no telling when
these men would come to the front again
with other demands and thus fresh and
uncalled for trouble be fomented, view
ing the matter in this light. he felt that
it was the best policy to cease opera
tons before the large sums that we're
necessary to improve the plant as
mapped out had been expended.
The con versation with Mr.. Shields was
only a short one and the above is in sub
stance what he had to say, moet Of the
remarks having been drawn out by
questions from The TRIBUNE though
the usual style Of interview has been
omitted

DISASTROUS prairie and forest fires still
raging there. The fire started in the

without being extinguished. The fire

a man who has the handling Of $4,000
in school bonds should be chained and
we'll watched. When this conclusion was
reached a messenger was dispatched to
bring Mr.. EARL before them, and az he
had been previously induced to come
down town, he was not long in being
found and brought before the meeting
very much surprised and at a loss to
know what was meant by the assemblage.
Mr.. L. B. Judd, who had previously been
elected chairman of the meeting, intro
duced Mr.. j. Conroy, who in a brief but
very neat speech, presented to MIR. EARL
on behalf Of the employees Of the smelter
and his numerous friends an elegant and
valuable gold watch and chain. The
watch bore the following inscription.
"For j. L. EARL, a token of respect from
the employees of the b. & Nj. Shelter"
Mr.. EARL, though taken altogether by
surprise, expressed his appreciation Of
the gift and the warm feelings he enter
tanned for the givers in a moet happy
manner
Attorney Stephenson, who was present,
was then called on for an address and
responded in a few well chosen words
dwelling on the pleasant feelings which
had always subsisted between Mr.. EARL
and those who worked under him, and
expressing the high estimation in which
he was held, not only by the smelter
employees but the public at large.
The formal portion of the affair was
then over, and the crowd commenced a
decentralization by singing EARL is a

The opera house was crowded Wednes-

show as as whole. The music and
specialties were excellent. The fun
commenced with the pie eating con-
test when nine picaninies with
their hands tied behind thier backs
did their best to see which could

when they raised their faces from the
custard to get breath sent the audience

The cake walk was preceded by a
grand march designed to illustrate the
costumes worn at cake walks in slave
days, and the elegant dress suits Of

by the ladies in the real con
test, which came later, was designed to

The police have had a great deal of

ninety days and 800 fine on a charge Of

released IN his promise to leave the city
and never return. After an absence of
about six months, however, he re-
turned to Great Falls again and
was promptly arrested and sentenced
to the chain gang for the u~nexpired
