Mr.. McGinty returned from Anacon-
da on Mondays train and confirmed
the announcement. He stated that he
would return to his home near Dar-
lington, Wis, about the middle of Sep
tember and busy himself with the de-
velopment of a zinc mine on his farm
and that he was now situated so that
he could take life easy.
The name of his successor, it is un-
derstood, will not be made public until
the return of Mr.. Lalor, Mrs. Days
head man of business, who is expected
back from Anaconda tomorrow even
ing, but the general opinion prevails
| that MIR. p. J. Shannon of the Bitter
| Root Stock Farm office will be the man.
Mr.. Shannon, while always intensely
loyal to the DAILY interests, is liberal in
his views, of splendid business capaci-
ty and certainly enjoys the respect of
all classes. 1t is the general impress

the position and at the same time re-
tain the good will of the public.
The news of the resignation was re-
ceeived with universal satisfaction by
the people of this community. A hol-
iday feeling has since pervaded the
air. The feeling seems to be that the
community has been ridded Of an inc
ubus in the shape of a sinister, yet
when backed by millions of money,
powerful influence that has banished
harmony and produced turmoil for
several troubled years past.
In his capacity of chief local repre-
sentative OF the DAILY interests, wheth-
er in simply following instructions or
by over-stepping authority, the fact
remains that Superintendent McGinty
not only renderedhimself odious IN the
eyes of the community through the
methods he employed, but caused the
interests he represented to suffer
greatly in popular esteem at least, by
the course he chose to pursue. This
undoubtedly led to his dowpfall-it is
too great reflection upon Mr.. Nc.
Ginty's intelligence to credit the DO.
lite announcement that he voluntaril,
separated himself from such a goot
thing as the superintendency he held
The discharge of McGinty woule
clearly seem to be an augury of hap
pier conditions and better feeling il
this community. It indicates that Mrs
DAILY. lady of fine, won anly in
stincts, does not propose to counter
ance nor uphold her agents in wrong

the rights of Others. Nor can the,
hereafter set themselves up as petty
despots, surrounded by self-seeking re
tainers and upheld by personal organ
paid for with revenues drawn from tn,
estate. The affairs of the estate will
probably be conducted along safe, con
servative business lines and with
view to retaining, rather than alien
ating the good will of the people of tn,
town and county. Such action will b.
heartily reciprocated by the people o
the valley who hold Mrs. Daily and he
: immediate family in high esteem.

From Management of Bitter Root
Stock Farm Will Return East
Mr.. Shannon VIII Probably
Succeed Him.

Mondays Anaconda Standard con.
tanned the following:
Yesterday announcement was made
of the resignation of Bernard McGinty,
who for several years has been super
intendent Of the Bitter Root stock farm
and in charge of several associated en-
terprises In the region of Hamilton.
Mr.. McGinty's career in Montana be-
gan about 16 years ago, when he held a
position at the mines of the Anaconda
company. Thereafter he was trans
ferred to Anaconda and held position
at the works in this city until 1897,
when he was again transferred to the
DAILY properties in the Bitter Root val
ley. His duties at the famous stock
farm involved large responsibility. 1t
is understood to be Mr.. McGinty's in
tentiou, when the business in his
charge is closed up, to return to his
former home in Southern Illinois,
where he has farming and other in
terests.

rotated forward and backward any

learns how to receive cipher message,

autumn two officers, newly arrived
from different parts of up-country, met
at Cape Town. Rather lonely and a
good deal bored. they scraped acqualnt-
ance and found one another agreeable.
When the dinner-hour came they agreed
to dine together.
The keen edge of appetltes having
been taken off by a good dinner, the
senior officer became trifie more ex-
pansive.

In the pulpit DIR. Thomas Is a striking
figure. His speech is slow and meas

gesticulati0ns, nothing theatrical. Only
as he warns to his subject his speech
quickens and his voice rises in his earn
estness. His sermons are clear, lucid,
and finished. and when one has gone
out from his church he finds that he

HARVEY SCANDAL HEARD.
Evidence Presented Against the AZ

cused Montana Judge.
A great mass of affidavits made by per-
sons who allege that they know the hab-
its of Judge e. W. Harvey was present
ed at Butte, Mont, in an effort by the
Amalgamated Copper Company to prove
that the judge decided the big Minnie
Healy mine case in favor of Z. Augustus
Heinze because Mrs. Ada H. Bracket.
a woman in the employ of the Heinze
people, influenced him to do SO.
The chief evidence is furnished by Miss
e. l.. Walters and J. w. Waters, who
had been ON intimate terms of friendship
with both Judge Harvey and Mrs. Brack-
EFT. Roth evidently made confdants of
Miss Walters and Mr.. Waters. The par
ties were guests at the Butte Hotel be-
fore and subsequent to the trial of the
Minnie Healy case and about that time
Judge Harvey gave his deeision by which
he gave $10000,000 property to Heinze
upon the payment by him of So, 200 to
the Amalgamated company's representa-
tive in tine case.
Miss Walters and Mr.. Waters testified
that Mrs. Bracket told them repeatedly
that she was in the employ of Heinze and
John McGinnis, Heinze's chief manager,
and that MeGiiLnis had promised her
100000 and hal employed her to take
care of Judge Harney and do other Sc
