c. P. Connolly, County Attorney Silver
Bow County, Butte, Montana.
Dear Sir: Your note of the eth inst
has been received. We had not commune
Gated with your Office, as we had sup
posed we were obliged to make a formal
answer in court to Judge Lindsay, on
Nov 1St.
1t has been impossible for us to study
out any system or combination of flues
and stacks which can be constructed at
any cost which would be within reason.
Indeed, the only feasible system is esti-
ma ted at about $3.50, 900, which is approx
imately equivalent to the sum which
would be necessary to construct a new
smelter at some other point. We have
consulted with the officials cf some of
the other companies operating Smelters in
Butte and find that they have reached
practically the same conclusion.
Feeling, however, that if our works are
instrumental in contributing to the dis
comfort caused by smelter smoke. We
Daily inter mountain., 1899-11-09

should do what is in our power to remedy
the evil. it has been decided to report to
you that we have been unable to figure
out any feasible method which could be
adopted at reasonable ccst to surely and
certainly remove the smoke, but that we
are willing to join with the other COM
panies IN closing down cur smelter for
the months in which this trouble is at it's
maximum, and to say to you that in our
judgment this is the only method of radi-
cally curing the trouble,
Respectfully,

STILL IN PURSUIT.
Butte, Mont, No

Butte, Mont, Nov 8, 1899.
c. P. Connolly, County Attorney,
Butte, Montana.
Dear Sir: Referring to your favor of
the 9th ult., calling attention to the order
made by Judge Lindsay of the district
court, and asking if we have any further
information to submit, l beg to say that
we have nothing new to add to my former
communicat tion on the subject except that
we have investigated several PROPOSE
tions. all of which have so far proven un-
sat!sfacto We are. however, still pur-
suing these Investigations.
Very respectfully yours,
COLTSA PARROT MINING & SMELT-
ING COMPANY.
Per. A. H. Wethey, Secretary.
Daily inter mountain., 1899-11-09

be borne in mind, with all due justice to
the smelling companies. that it is an
item that should rot stand in the way.
The cost of abating the nuisance, if it
can be abated, should be considered a
| necessary incident to the business If it
results in smaller dividends to the stock
holders of the smelling companies, most
of whom reside at a distnce from the
nuisance, the profits from their plants
should still be sufficient to remove any
cause for complaint on this score. These
smelteIs are usually run in connection
with, and are owned by, mining compan-
les. These companies are taking from
the earth the precious metals at the cost
merely OF the labor necessary, and the
business is certainly profitable enough to
ensure immunity to the inhabitants of the
city of Butte from the dangers, discom-
forts and inconveniences necessarily re-
sulting from the operation of these smell
ters.
THE appreciation in the value Of
property by reason of the abatement of
this nuisance, in my opinion, would be
suf1cient to warrant the statement that
the taxable revenue from such increase
would be such as to make it Of vital nH
terest to the state to take the necessary
steps looking to its discontnuance. If
/ there should be erected two or three other
smelters in close proximity to the city,
| there is no question that the nuisance
would become so dangerous. as we'll as
so intolerable, that the nuisance would
| have to be abated, even at the hazard
of destroying the industry. If the nui-
| sance can be abated without the removal
of the industry from this point. it, of
course, should be done. If the nuisance
cannot be abated without the destruc-
tion of the smelling industry contiguous
to Butte, then there is no question ihat
the time will arrive, if it has not already
arrived, when it will have to be done.
There is no question, in my opinion,
that, from a legal STANDPOINT, this nui-
sance is of such radical nature that the
law affords relief.
II respectfully beg leave to report that
I am ready to obey any order the court
may see fit to make in the premises"

Shot for Resisting Arrest.

On the evening of the 4th a negro
going by the name of Walter [alias
''Jack'') Stewart, who had been cele-
brating in Great Bend, got on the east
bound train for Ellinwood. He was
pretty we'll bOwled up, and practically
run things his own way for the ten
miles between the towns. At Elm
wood he started in to run the town,
but was brought up standing by the
night marshal, w. J. Herman. Her.
man put him under arrest, but Ste wart
resisted. Herman used his club Wig.
! Orously but it seemed to have no effect
on the negro. Stewart clinched with
the marshal and got him down and
| was getting the better of him, when
Herman drew his revolver and shot
the negro, the ball entering below the
navel and coming out above the hip at
the back. The physicians are uncer~
tain whether the Yitals were penetra,
ted or not, and at the time we go to
press the wounded man is still alive,
and may recover, although the chances
are against him.
County Attorney Diffenbacher was
telegraphed for, and went down Wed
nesday. Herman was put under arrest,
charged with assault with a deadly
weapon, and the hearing set for the
18th.
Stewart had the appearance of being
had coon." He gives his home as
Denver. On him was found a card
showing be bad recently been discharg.
ed from the Denver work house. He
is man 80 to Sc years old, and had
been working with a gang of harvesters
for Tinchner, near Ellinwood.
1t Is the general opinion that the
shooting was justifable as it is a we'll
known fact that desperate men of that
class generally carry razor and do not
hesitate to use it in close quarters.

have been for the price, but the dis.
play as whole was very satisfactory.
ACCIDENTS.
But two accidents worth noting &C.
Cured on the 4th Considering the
immense crowd, this was small mum
Der. About 1890 a. m, just before the
parade started, while the anvils were
being fired, piece of some sort of
packing was blown from the anvil and
struck little boy in the eye, splittinR
the ball and putting the eye out. The
boy was between 5 and years old, and
ers' stand, about 40 feet from the
anvils. His name is given as Wright
a son of Mrs. Gallagher of Dodge City.
His mother was not with him at the
time of the accident, but was in the
park. When Chas. Morrison and Chas.
Lechesky took her and the boy to the
train to send them home, she stated
that she had no money to pay her hotel
bill. The boy was given medical at
tention, and the woman given a couple
of dollars for her expenses.
The other accident occurred while the
fire works display was going on. James
E. Miller of Clafiin, who was working
with John Cooks harvesting gang,
had large, canon cracker to explode
in his hand, burning and decorating it
badly. Miller was one of Co. A. vol
unteers, and says the frecracker ex-
ploded prematurely and before he could
get it out of his hand. His would was
painful, but will not necessarily cause
the loss of his hand.

We WANT to call tbs sttention of
the Hoisington Dispatch to the fact
that, while the price of wheat and
other farm products is, as he says,
higher than during the last four
wears of democratic rule in this coun.
try, the prices are not, on an average,
more than 10 per cent. higher; and
the price of pretty near everything the
farmer BUYs-mschinery, fencing,
building material, etc.. has IN
CREASED during the present admins
tration from 25 to 80 per cent. so that
the 10 per cent. increase on the price
of what the farmer sells still puts him
Is to 20 per cent worse off than dur
ing Cleveland's last term. We want
to farther say to the Dispatch that,
upon the important principles OF
gove1n ment that are responsible for
the conditions which exist, there was
very little difference between the last
Cleveland administration and the
present Mckinley administration.
Each being conducted upon the theory
that this is or should be govern
ment for and by the wealthy, and
that the interests of the east should
be looked after first, last and all the
time. GIVE US a reconstruction Of
our financial system that will not
place so much power in the hands OF
favored few; give US an income tax
that will equalize the burdens of the
government; take the robber protect
i've tariff away from the trusts and
everything they control, and you will
see that the prices of what the farmer
has to sell, of all labor and all pro-
ducts of labor, will increase when the
prices of manufactured goods and the
products of the mines increase, and
in the same proportion.
