Is Only Temporary,

Chicago, Aug. ga special to the
Tribune from Ottawa, Ont, says: The
Washington dispatches relating to an
alleged secret understanding between
the Washington authorities and Pre-
mier Laurier are regarded here as hav-
ing some foundation in fact, though
they may be to some extent conjectur-
al. Any understanding is necessarily
unwritten and private. it is stated. 1t
is unofficial and temporary and dis
poses finally of none of the questions,
but simply holds matters in status
quo The secret understanding. ac-
cording to ministerial circles here, is
merely to hold in check and to defer
the possible demonstrations brought by
the mention of the president to cede
to Canada free port in the Lynn ca
nal in return for Canada's relinquish-
ment of her claims to the entire head
quarters of the inlet, including Dyea,
Skagway and Pyramid harbor.

IT WAS A CLOSE CALL
Two Fishermen Have a Narrow
Escape From Death.
OVER THE GREAT FALLS
Boat Grounded for a Second on a Sand
Bar just Before Taking Drop of
Hundred Feet-Tims Enough
to Jump.

Great Falls, Aug. 29-John Thomas
and James Riley had an experience
last night which will last them for
long time. They are fishermen, plying
their trade below the big falls of the
Missouri Lately 1t has been so good
that they were enabled to have a
newer and better boat built for them
up town. They started down with
their new possession last evening, get
ting past Black Eagle, Golfers, Rain
bow and the Horseshoe Falls by port
aging.
Then they started for the big falls
At that time it was nearly dark, and
when they tried to reach the shore
above the crest of the cataract they
broke one Of their oars. The boat
swung out into the current and was
rapidly approaching the brink of that
awful drop of nearly a hundred feet
Luckily for the fishermen, who APP
guide the boat, it grounded for half
second upon a sand bar, and that mo-
mentary pause no doubt saved their
lives, for in it they sprang over the
side while the boat was again swung
outward and went to destruction down
the river.
Riley and James stood in the shall
lows long enough to offer up a little
prayer of Thanksgiving and then eau
uously made their way to the shore,
from which they were separated by
only a few feet of rather shallow water
They are not quite sure how they land
ed, but are well satisfied to know that
they landed at all.

Claims of the Miners.

Chicago, Aug. ga special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
James Hamilton Lewis of Washington is
about to leave for London to press upon
the attention of the British governme mt
the claims of large number of American
miners, aggregating 900 to s25, 600 COO.
Many Americans relying upon the free
dom which the laws of British Columbia
seemed to assure, went into that terri
tory several years ago and engaged in the
mining of gold. Later the parliament of
British Columbia drove the Americans out
by the passage of a law prohibiting any
alien from owning mineral claim in that
province. Many Americans were thus COM
PEELED to forfeit valuable properties. Mr..
Lewis, who has been in the city several
days placed their cases before the state
department, which has taken cognizance
of their claims by giving their representa-
tive a letter to Ambassador Choate. If
Mr.. Lewis fails to get satisfaction in di-
rect negotiations he will endeavor TO have
the state department take up the claims
of the miners and press them.

A BRUTE OF A HUSBAND
Ryan Gave His Wife a Brutal
Choking.
"
HE Is AN OLD OFFENDER
Has q Long Police Record on Account
= OF Stirring Up Family Troubles.
A Case Pending in Two
Courts.

John Y Ryan, one of that class of
brutes with which Butte seems to be
overstocked, whose chief pastime is
beating his wife, stands very good
chance of being placed where he won't
have an opportunity to misuse his FAM
lily for some time. and the ch-abused
woman has an equally good prospect of
a respite from his i'll treatment. 1t is
one of the worst cases of an inhuman
husband and father the authorities
have had to deal with.
Monday, Ryan, who is a miner and
lives in Anaconda road, got drunk, ana
while his wife was absent from home,
took secondhand dealer to the house
and sold him all the household effects
70 for SIS. Ryan continued his drunk and
finally got into fight and got arrested.
The secondhand man moved out ev-
erything in the house, leaving nothing
but the window shades, and Mrs. Ryan
on going home in the evening found
the house bare. 1t was too late for her
TO do anything toward ascertaining
what had become Of her furniture and
she was obliged to pass the night with
friends
Yesterday forenoon she started out to
investigate. She found her husband
was in Jail, and from the officers pro-
cured 81 he had on him when arrested.
Then she learned he had sold the fur
niture and paid visit to Justice Mich
OILS to see what could be done She was
directed by Judge Nichols to the county
attorneys office, where she told her
story to Chief Deputy Con Kelley. Mr..
Kelley accompanied Mrs. Ryan to the
place of business of the secondhand
man, who on being made acquainted
with the facts, returned the furniture
upon payment of the SIS and the ex-
pense he had been to- The whole
amounted to 500. As Mrs. Ryan had
secured $11 of the SIS her husband got
for the furniture she was out just 50.
Mrs. Ryan returned to her home. In
the, meantime Ryan had been fined in
police court and released, and husband
and wife met in the gulch. The wife
naturally took Ryan to task for what
he had done, and he replied by treating
her to a brutal choking. Neighbors in
terfered and Ryan was re-arrested. A
complaint charging third degree assault
was filed against him in police court by
Mr.. Kelley. and Judge Sullivan will
mete out justice. AS Ryan is an old
offender in this line, and the authori-
ties are all acquainted with his record,
the case is likely to go hard with him.
Ryan has repeatedly been called to
account for misconduct in his family.
Among the most recent occurrences was
a row he stirred up with his brother
in-law Dickinson who stabbed him,
Shortly afterward he got drunk again
and shamefully abused his wife, for
which he was arrested on a warrant
from Justice Nichols court. The reps
resentative of the sheriff's office, who
had him in charge, allowed him to go
into a saloon for drink and he skipped
and was never taken before the court.
When Judge Sullivan is through with
Ryan, Judge Nichols will take a turn
at him. Altogether he stands a very
good chance of receiving at least part
of his deserts

LIFE CRUSHED OUT.
Larence Koyiac Killed in the Mines at
BELT.

Belt, Aug. 29.-Yesterday afternoon
about o'clock Larence Koviac, a driver
at the A. c. NJ. Co.'S mine, was caught
between the cars and had the life crushed
out of him. He was held in a standing
position and seemed as If alive until the
cars were pushed off him. Death was
practically instantaneous. He was good
worker and had been in the camp for over
a year Before the strike he was en-
ployed as a loader. His body now lies at
Cooks undertaking establishment and the
inquest held last night developed the fact
that death was due to a broken neck and
internal injuries about the chest.
He was a native of Poland and had no
relatives in Belt. He had intended to go
to his people, who now live in Pennsylva-
MIA as soon as he had made the money.
In the case of fatality in the mines 50
cents is deducted from the wages of all
underground operators, which will bring
to the deceased $500 or $500, which will be
more than ample to ship his body to his
people. Thus his hopes will be realized in
a manner unexpected. Harry Supack, a
friend of The deceased, telephoned TO
friends in Sand Coulee, but it is not yet
known what will be done with the body.

STRIKE STILL ON.
Employees Say They Have Secured Com
plcte Tie Up.

Employees Say They Have Secured Com
plcte Tie Up.
Great Falls, Aug. 29-The strike of
the employees of the laundry continues
to-day without any unusual features.
1t is probably the quietest strike ever
known in this county. and unless in
formed by the meE directly interested,
the public would hardly know anything
about it. The drivers are all out with
the exception of one man, who claims
not to have had any notice of the in
tended strike, and moreover, says that
he is a stakeholder in the combination.
However, with but single wagon run
ming, where formerly there were a half
dozen, the strikers claim to have Sc
cured a complete tie up. In addition to
the laundry about 20 be started by ST.
mon Miller, not member of the trust
the employees say that unless they Sc
cure concessions asked by them, they
will open a cooperative laundry Of
their own and run in opposition to the
trust They will do all of the rough
washing here, and If necessary, send
the starched work out of town. The
situation is one which was predicted by
disipterested outsiders when all of the
laundries of the city entered into a
combination month ago.
On the other hand the trust disavows
any intention of imposing higher prices
for work upon the public, but claims
that instead there will be reduction,
some things being washed for less
money, while other classes of goods will
cost more nearly what the trust thinks
the work is worth. An announcement
of a reduction in the price for collars
and cuffs was made few days before
the present strike was inaugurated,
though no public notice of any COM
pensating raise was made at the time.
The managers of the trust also state
that the combination necessitated a
large outlay of money for the purchase
of new machinery, that its patrons pay
their bills monthly, and it therefore
cannot pay its help weekly to the driv-
ers. 1t says that it is paying union
wages for union hours, and that is all
the drivers ought to expect.
Meanwhile the average citizen is
wondering whether he had best turn
his collars or wear them and his shirts
an extra day or two, or cut the knot by
investing in celluloid articles to wear.

California Banks.

San Francisco, Aug. 29.-The state
bank commissioners have issued a
statement giving the condition of all
the banks in California at the close of
business on July 81, 1885, which shows
an increase in assets and liabilities for
the whole state of 1927, ,436 for II
months, from Aug.I 81, 1898, and an in
crease for the period from Aug. 81,
1897, period of two years, of $56,O31,-
512.
Taking into consideration that dur
ing the last II months six banks went
out of business, representing a paid up
capital of $4,100, 939 the total gain for
that period would be $50, 100.451. The
amount due depositors has grown in
two years by $50, 1916. This is the
best showing made in the history of
the state.

Frank w. Mettler Says It Will Surpass
the Klondike.
Great Falls, Aug. 29.-Frank w.
Mettler, who went over from Fort Ben
ton to Alaska last spring, is very en-
thusastic over that country and pre-
diets that the Cape Nome district will
far surpass the Klondike. He says that
pay dirt begins with the surface in
stead of from to 80 feet below as near
Dawson; that one claim has yielded
$4,000 in a day with five men work
ing. He writes as follows regarding
the beach claims
"A man named Roy Mcdonald
showed me about 5000 in fine beach
gold and said 1t was the result of
about SO hours work CT himself and
two partners with a rocker l didn't
rocker, so l can't vouch for the story,
except that I saw the gold.
Mr.. Logan, a correspondent for the
San Francisco Call, brought over $3.50
and is on his way out by the Roanoke
He says he and three partners, with
two rockers, cleaned up about $4,000
in eight days, on the beach. They have
located about four miles of the beach
and / think are going to try to get
away with 1t, but it is an open ques-
ton whether the beach can be To-
Gated at all.
Logan seems to be a straightfor-
ward sort of a fellow, and as yet he
has no claims to sell. He went to
Anvil City from up the Yukon some
where about four weeks ago. One of
his partners is an ex-cowboy by the
name of Schley. who is also returning.
Mr.. Schley is well acquainted in Ben
ton and has worked for John Lepley
and others.
