LARKIN INSANITY HEARING.
Only One Witness Examined by the Ref
cree Yesterday.


There was only one witness examined
yesterday in the Larkin insanity hearing
William J. Parks. The intervenor in the
case expected to have more witnesses, but
there was shortage and the hearing
was continued until 10 o'clock this morn
ing.
Mr.. Parks is one of the very old pioneers
of Butte, and has in his time owned some
very valuable mining property here. He
was the original owner of the west extern
sion of the Parrot. Besides he owned real
estate and other property. He does not
own this property now. however. Mr.
Parks testimony was out of the general
run so far introduced. He did not assume
to diagnose Larkins mental state. but let
that part of the case go by and told about
his own mining ventures and how he used
to do things. He had his own views re-
garding the value of property in this
camp in the early part of the 9Os
Parks was the 9th witness for the inter-
venors and there are more to be heard on
the same side. One volume of o35 pages
OF typewriter testimony has already been
bound and 400 pages of volume 2 make
1,025 pages far written by the stenog-
raphers, Messrs. MacDougall and Sack
EFT.
Judge Blake made an order yesterday
directing that the taking of testimony on
behalf of the intervenor must end on
May s. The defendants will thereafter be
allowed 4J days in which to introduce
their testimony. The intervenor will then
have 90 days in which to take rebuttaI
testimony.

IT WILL NOT Be DROPPED
The Smoke Question Is Still
Very Much Alive.
A REPORT WILL BE MADE
The County Attorney Ordered to In.
vestigate No Indication That
Judge Lndsay's Order
Has Been Obeyed.

If the smelling companies and smelt-
that Judge Lindsay would drop the
smoke question after he had given them
warning four months ago to take steps
to abate the deadly nuisance, their
minds are now probably disabused of
that idea. The time given the smelter
people to take some action had expired
yesterday morning, and when court
opened Judge Lindsay brought the mat
ter up and asked for little Informal
ton.
ION January Z, 1899" he said "the
court, after due considera ton and de-
liberation. made an order by which it
directed that the various persons and
corporations named therein be given a
reasonable length of time to provide
for disposition of the smoke nuisance,
which said order also recited that if
said public nuisance should recur by
reason of failure on the part of the per-
sons and corporations in interest to
provide proper appliances to dispose of
the smoke so that it would not be left
| in a position to contaminate the at
mosphere in the city of Butte and it's
| immediate neighborhood. the county at
| torney would be directed to thereafter
! institute proceedings against the said
| persons and corporations. By the or
| der referred to, the court announced
| that if by the first day of May, 1899,
| the various companies concerned had
| manifested their intentions and by their
acts proceeded to abate the nuisance in
| question, then the court would grant
| such further time as might appear nee
! essary in order that such work as had
| been undertaken be concluded.
| Twill thfN county ATTORNEY inform the
| court what action, if any, has been
| taken by the various smelling COM
| panies to conform to the courts or
der?" asked Judge Lindsay, address,
ing Chief Deputy County Attorney
Kelley.
THE county attorneys office has not
| been advised that any steps have been
| taken to comply with the order of the
| court, and has no information of any
intention to do so on the part of the
smelling companies: in fact, We have
no information on the subject at ALL"
replied Mr.. Kelley.
The county attorney is directed" re-
| sumed the court, ito investigate and
report to the court within 10 days what
steps, if any, have been taken by the
parties in interest to comply with the
| courts order"
1t was stated yesterday that the
Colorado company had just completed
two surveys for a big smokestack. One
survey was for a stack on the top Of
| Timbered Butte and the other on the
little butte near the smelter. The COM
pany has not yet decided where to
build the stack, if it will be built at ALL
but some report on the surveys will
be made to the court.

A BAD WEED.
Experiment Station Bulletin on Or
ange Hawkweed.

One OF the worst weeds in Vermont
northern New York and adjoining
territory is the Orange Hawkweed or
Paintbrush. II is comparatively new,
having been introduced in recent
years, and is gaining ground very rap
idlv ia localities favorable to il.
Ii is European plant, though not
regarded as bad weed in its native
land. Ii was brought over from Eu-
rope as flower garden plant, and is
still sometimes sold by seedmen and
planted by gardeners in Europe and
America.
The first plants in Vermont came
from seeds distributed as a premium
by one OF the leading agricultural
journals OF New York state. Within
the last decade the plant has been
spreading as a weed in an alarming
manner. Investigations at the YER
mont experiment station have shown
that i; is already the worst weed
known in some parts Of Vermont, and
is continuing each year to invade new
areas. II is easily recognized by its
flame-red flowers and spreading hairy
leaves. The first blossoms open in
June. II these are moved il contin-
ues to send up scattering flower stalks
during the rest Of the summer.
Fortunately clean cultivation will
kill il wherever it is practiced. One
OF the serious difficulties is that he
weed is allowed to spread along many
roadsides to the menace OF the ada
cent farm lands.
The really great danger, however,
is that il rapidly invades the rocky
soil Of the hill pastures, and when
once fully established in such places
il is practically impossible to exter-
inmate il. The owners Of such fields
should carefully guard them against
IT, Every plant found should be
promptly uprooted or, better still,
killed out by salt. The weed is very
sensitive TO salt, which should be scat
tered broadcast so as TO reach the
leaves Of all plants. II not too much
salt Is used, il may serve As a fertilizer
to tie grass. The salt does not act as
a poison, but kills the weeds by draw
ing the water out Of the leaves. In
order 10 act most thoroughly, there
fore, dry salt mot brine)should be APP
piled, and this should be done during
dry, hot weather.

The proposition of the receiver OF
the defunct Northwestern Guarantee
Loan company Of Minneapolis to as
sess the stockholders for the value on
their stock, claiming that he had a
right and legal power to do so under
recent rulings of the courts Of Massa-
chusetts, led the ST. Johnsbury Re-
publican to call Hon. G. A. Prouty's
attention to the recent action of Re.
ceiyer Hale and asked his opinion as
to the probable result, as in 1898, soon
after the failure of the company, sew
eral Eastern stockholders, fearing
some such action as has now been
suggested, placed their interests in
the hands of Mr.. Prouty and he made
a thorough investigation of the whole
subject matter. In reply Mr. Prouty
said that the probability was that
this liability could not be enforced
against Vermont stockholders.

Fire in Ryegate.

The fine new store OF j. w. Beattie
at Ryegate Corner, the Covenant
church and the residence of William
McCann, adjoining, were totally de-
stroyed by fire Wednesday night Of
last week.
About ten O'Clock in the evening
Mr.. Beattie went into the cellar of his
store with a lamp which was over
turned and exploded. No appliances
for fighting fire were at hand and the
building was soon a mass OF flames.
The building was erected in 1894 at a
cost $4,000. Over the store was the
residence OF Mr.. Beattie and the town
library. His family had barely time
to escape in their night clothes. All
their personal and household effects
were burned as were the books in the
library and most of the stock in the
store, valued at $4,000.
The neighbors rallied and formed
a pail brigade, but the flames COM
municated TO the Covenant church
and the residence Of William Mccain,
both OF which were burned. Mr..
McCann's house was valued at $500.
The church was an old structure, but
was endeared TO the people by life
long associations.
But little insuTan e was carried on
any OF the property destroyed.

Ely Mines Sold Again.

Gen. w. III. Gilmore, +. +. George
and Fred Farnham OF the defunct
Bradford Savings bank, have closed a
deal with Garretson Il Westinghouse
Of New York for the sale of the Ely
mines for a sum sufficient TO pay in
full the debt held by the bank and

Of fifty cents on the dollar, thus in

house have had new smelling de-
vice in operation since last October
and have proved that the invention
will reduce the cost of smelling to
five cents per pound purchased at the
mines This invention is expected TO
revolutionize the copper industry in
the state as the great question in the
past has been that Of reduction. A
syndicate composed OF Gen. w. W.
Grout, Hon. He. Ide, Frank Brooks,

the mine but the Garretson 4 West
