TO COL. O'LEARY'S RESCUE
Members of the Anaconda Bar
Take Action in His Case.
THEY WANT HIM RELEASED
Prepare Telegram Which They Propose
to Have Forwarded to England-Two
Alleged Answers Received
From Joe Chamberlain.

Woe, deep, purple woe, prevailed
among tho members of the Anaconda
bar yesterday when they learned of the
report that Colonel O'Leary was i'm
prisoned at Rossland as a Fenian spy.
Despite the authoritative information
printed by the Standard that the colonel
was not in Canada at all, such stall
wart members of the bar as J. NJ.
Self. r. P. OBrien, j. H. Trippet, j.
elined to take the report seriously. Ac-
cordingly they prepared the following
cablegram to be sent:
Anaconda, Mont, Dec. So 1S99.-To
Her Majesty, Victoria, Queen of Great
Britain and ireland and Empress of In
dia, and to Hon. Joseph Chamberlain,
Her Majesty's Secretary for the Col
onies: 1t has come to our knowledge
that our valiant Colonel OLeary has
been arrested near Rossland, in your
Dominions of Canada, and is being
driven mad by being guarded and con-
fined in a bull pen upon the charge
of being Fenian spy. Therefore, this
is to assure you that the colonel is
peaceable, lawabiding American citi-
zen, is no spy, and is only taking a
pleasure tour, and that if he is per-
nitted to return to his home we will
vouch for his future good behavior to-
ward your majesty's government.
'MEMBERS OF THE BAR OF ANA
CONDA''
Later in the day these same gentle
men alleged that they had received the
following reply:
London. Office of the Secretary for
the Colonies, Dec. 80, 1S99--To the
Members Of the bar of Anaconda. Mon
tana, L. s A.: Your message received
and referred. At the behest of the
queen and on your valued assurances.
Colonel O'Leary shall be allowed at
once to return home Directions have
been transmitted to the proper author-
titles to that end.
CHAMBERLAIN"
Now that was all very pretty if all
the lawyers had agreed to it, but some
of them produced the following widely
different message, which they claimed
they had received:
Impossible to release Colonel
O'Leary Is regarded as a desperate
man. Has sought to bride the guards
to permit him to escape.
Chamberlain"
All of which complicates the story.
Among many of the younger Irish
Americans and especially among those
who Were in the volunteer army the
proposition to invade Canada has taken
strong hold. While many regard the
whole proposition as q huge joke. there
are many who take it in all serious
ness. They predict that something will
happen in the next 10 days to astonish
the world and to make the British lion
take reef in his tail.

years ago while prospecting in the
Twin Mountain mining district of Silver
Bow county, and as consequence was
patient at st. AIMS hospital nearly
a year. He lost part, of both feet, his
nose and also a part of one ear The
climate of this section of the country
does not agree with him because of
the cold, which has caused him great
tune, hence his departure for warmer
cline.
Mr.. Edwards has been .superintend-
ing the construction of a smelter at
his fathers mines in the Twin Noun
tain district for the past few months,
and, having completed his undertake
ing, decided to leave rather than face
the low temperature of this state.

Susnicion of Foul Play.

Hamilton, June 2S.-The sheriff's Of
flee is in receipt of advices from Ste
vensvile which point to possible foul
play, if a harsher word should not be
used. AS the story goes, Andrew Mel
son, a Swede residing on the west side
near that town, went out hunting sew
eral days ago with another Swede,
whose name is not given. The second
man has returned without Nelson, and
tells that Nelson took a notion to go
prospecting, and had left him for that
purpose, at the same time telling him
to take the crop which he had in the
ground. This second man had fired
four shots from his gun while away.
and says he shot at three birds and
ground squirrel, but brought nothing
in. Nelson has not shown up, and the
queer part of the other mans story
is that Nelson should take a sudden
notion, while out hunting, to go pros
pecting, when he had no prospecting
tools with him, besides leaving grow
ing crop, and telling another to take
the fruits of the labor he had already
put in on it. Nelson is the Swede
who, 1t will be remembered was badly
hurt by being hit over the head with
club by man named Murphy, some
seven or eight years ago, while Mel
son was working for the late Lyman
Loring, and which there was so much
talk about in regard to the injured
man being allowed to lie alone in the
loft without attendance of any kind.
His present disappearance is very
queer, to say the least, and Deputy
Sheriff EWart of SteNensville has been
instructed to proceed to the section in
which the men went hunting to see if
he can find trace of Nelson. No report
has been received from him as yet.
but nothing would be surprising in the
case as it now stands.
