The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-10-05

from Interfering with the liberty of a
Mr.. Leary, Mrs. keefe's former husband
We're held in Justice Arnold's court be-
tween 4 and Z o'clock last evening, but
after the JUST heard the testimony OF
both sides he threw the case over the
railing. In so doing, however, he gave
the defendants gentle tip as to the
course they should pursue in future cal
culatlOnS, warning them to be more clr-
cumspect in their conduct.
Mrs. Keefe conducted the defense.
Leary testified that Mrs. keefe told
him on the street one evening that S4e
would fix him to a fare-you-Well. WhAT-
ever that is, and Mrs. Keefe remarked
in a low tone: You're dirty Har' -
The judge trapped for order and got It.
Mr.. Leary related the circumstances
concerning the origin of the trouble. IL
was once her husband" he said. but
I secured divorce and 1 think she
should keep away from me- To this ne
added that he was afraid Of her ana
expressed the belief that she would 40
him bodily harm If she got chance. ri
Mrs. Leary testified that Mrs. keefe
had pasted her with a parasol on the
street and threatened to fix her, bat
Mrs. Keefe denied the allegation anu
stated that Mrs. Leary had done heria
great favor when she took Leary as her
husband. She said she had never pack
ed" a parasol in her life and would not
trouble the Learys if they would not
bother her.

in UNION CIRCLES
DOINGS OF THE WEEK AMONG
STATE LABOR UNIONS.
DA|RYMEN FIX WAGE SCALE
Several New Organizations Noted
Throughout the state-Hackmen's
Combination Probably First ar
in Existence.

The current events in labor circles OF
the last month contain much that is in
teresting anent the growth and promul-
cation of several new organizations in
Butte and the state.
Also an important decision was reach
ed at meeting recently of the Dairy
Employees Protective Union. This body
made out and established a new rate
of wages, which rate went into effect
the first of September last. The wage
stipulation fixed was as follows: Wage
from SEPTEMBER LIST to March 1st to be $40
per month; wage from March 1st to Sep
TENDER 1s& to be $45 per month This
scale affects the nilkers, drivers of wag-
ons and kindred capacities.
On September 20, at Anaconda, the
teamsters and stablemen of that city or
ganized in the Transfers and Stable
mems union. There are in the neighbour
hood of IS members Of the craft in the
town, Is of whom have already come into
the association. The remainder have sig
nified their willingness to join, and will
shortly be admitted.
On September 90 the stage employees of
Butte, were amalgamated for the COM
mon good in the Theatrical and Stage
Employees Protective Union. This asso-
citation will include all those engaged
about the different play houses, with the
exception of the musicians, who are or
ganized into a division by themselves.
The order contains at present about rs
members.
The Butte Hackmen's Protective Union
was formed at a meeting OF the craft
september II, and is probably the first
~ re lrind that has
combined. Their object, according to one
in authority. will be to regulate the scale
of wages, and mark out scale Of prices
for special trips and cab hire. The COM
bination includes all the hackmen and
cab drivers OF Butte.
The Womens Protective Association
organized itself into a united body III
Anaconda September "a. This organiza-
ton was agftated for and promoted by
the Women's Protective Union OF Butte,
which is now a powerful union wide
spread in it's influences. The latter have
succeeded in raising the wages and bet
tering materially the condition OF the
women and girls compelled to work for
their living, and who are for the most
mart employed in various capacities
about hotels and lodging and boarding
houses It has no connection with the
clerks union here.
At Great Falls, September &c. the
clerks union Of that city combined With
the Westrn Labor Union. having form
erly been an independent local union by
itself. The Western Labor Union now
has enrolled all the clerks unions Of
Montana. with the single exception Of
the one at Havre. Arrangements are
ranialv being pushed forward for the
gathering in of this one also.

Not Very Far.

The following verses, accompanied by
a beautiful wreath, were placed on the
coffin Of the late Mrs. Gladstone by the
Princess OF Wales.
1t seemeth such a little way to me
Across to that strange country the Be-
yond;
And yet not strange for it has grown to
be
The home Of those of whom / am so
fond;
As journeying friends bring distant re-
gions near.
So close it lies that when my sight is
clear
| think | almost see the cleaning strand;
| know / feel those who have gone from
here
Come close enough to touch my hand;
l often think but for our veiled eyes
We should find heaven right round
about us here.
And 30, for me, there is no sting to
death,
And SO the grave has lost its victory.
1t IL but crossing. with abated breath
And with set face. a little strip of sea.
To find the loved ones waiting on the
shore,
More beautiful, more precious than be-
fore.
l cannot make it seem a day to dread
Whenfr1m this drear earth shall | jour
ney out
To hat still dresrer country OF the dead,
And join the lost ones 80 long dreamed
about.
l love this world, yet shall / love to go
To meet the friends who wait for me, l
know.
l never stand above a bier, and see
The seal Of death set on some well loved
face.
But that l think one more to welcome
When 1 shall cross the intervening space.
Between this land and that one over
there
One more to make the strange Beyond
seem fair.

Lightning Kills 6, Head of Sheep.

Last Thursday lightning struck
twice in a bunch of sheep on the
mountain due west of the Ferris Hag-
garty mine killing SO head. The
first time it struck only Z were killed,
but the next time it killed Sc. The
sheep belong to Mr.. Sullivan of Raw
Inns. 1t is not very often lightning
strikes in a band of sheep but it does

Chicago Visitors.

P. W. Nilsson, of the law firm of
Nilsson g. Boylan, of Chicago, the
president of the Olympia Mining
Company, and Carl o. Bergquist, the
treasurer of the company, arrived here
Tuesday ON a visit to the company's
property. John Lundgren, the gen.
eral manager of the company, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Anderson accom-
panied the men up to the mountains
Wednesday, where they will spend
some time in the examination of the
claims and those of other parties
throughout the mountains. The par
ty expect to be absent about a week,
when they will return to Chicago.
Mr.. Lundgren, the general manager
of the company, having valuable
claims in the copper district, was
compelled to either sell or abandon
them for want of the means to work
them. He is an expert 'prospector
and stands well here and we are glad
to have those men come and inspect
their property, feeling sure that they
will find it just as represented and
that they will be impressed with the
honesty of purpose and high integrity
of the man they are dealing with.

The Second Crop of Alfalfa.

From all over the valley comes en-
couraging reports as to the quantity
and quality of the second crop of alf-
alta. Every n reports that the
second cutting is going to be far
greater and of far better quality than
the first. In many cases the yield of
the second crop will be great enough
to bring the seasons cutting up to the
average yearly yield. The abundance
of this second growth is due largely
to the extremely hot weather during
July, when the atmosphere contained
o than the usual amount of moist
ure for some reason. The wild hay
crop will average about a third less
all over the valley as compared with
last years yield.

TO MAKE A TEST RUN.
Will Have the Ore Treated in Denver
Have q Large Low Grade Proposition.
Ore Being Taken to Smelter.

Ed. Haggarty passed though Sara
80 the first of the week with about
200pounds of low grade gold bearing
quartz, which came from a prospect
that Mr.. Haggarty, in company with
two other men owns, ove on the
Sandstone. The ore will be taken to
Denver where a test run will be made
to ascertain whether the proposition
will pay to work. There is a ledge of
the rock about 200 feet in width, all
low grade and if the rock makes as
good showing in the run as the assays
indicate it is an excellent proposition,
rs there is an immense body of it.
The claim lies five miles due west
from the Ferris Haggarty and about
Che same distance from Copperton.
1t is thought the ore, which con-
tains iron, will be good for mating
purposes and if SO will be shipped to
Me Encampment smelter.
Mr.. Haggarty informs us that he
Ind Ed. Hull have purchased into
the Encampment Transportation and
Development Co. and will run freight
teams between Encampment and the
Ssilroad. They also have a large
quantity of hauling contracted for
the Encampment smelter. They have
purchased eleven six horse teams
from the Ferris Haggarty bunch of
horses, being given the pick of the
bunch.
He says the Shelter company have
a large force of men working on the
road from the Albany county Ramb-
Ter and that the road will be finished
within ten days. Ore is being receiv-
ed at the smelter all the time and the
bins are being filed. The smelter
will not open up until there are at
least 500 tons of ore in the bins and a
prospect of enough ore coming in to
keep the smelter in operation and a
surplus of 500 tons on hands, in case
the roads were blocked by a storm, so
that they would have something to
keep them going until the roads are
opened up, as the shutting down of a
smelter after it is N in operation is
something like shutting down a rail
road.

Comstock Closed Down.

S. j. Mauk came in from the Com.
stock property the first of the week
where he has been employed the past
summer running a tunnel. MIR. Mauk
says the work ON the tunnel has been
temporarily suspended until the
treasury can be reimbursed when
work will be at once resumed. The
tunnel at present is in 235 feet and il
is estimated that they will have to &c
about ITO feet farther before cutting
the main lead. At that distance, 405
feet, it is estimated that they will
have gained 300 feet in depth.

allotment. Several people went from
his town and registered for a home
stead, but he was the only one of the
number who vas fortunate enough to

Commoner, arrived here yesterday on
a fishing trip to the upper part of
the Platte river. They win be absent
several days, as Mr.. Bryan has come
here especially for rest and recuper-
alton. Upon their return here it is
quite likely that Nj. Bryan will favor

Prophecies a Hard Winter.

Matthew Watt, who vas iu town
Tuesday, prophecies a hard winter.
He bases his calculations ON the
movements Of the badger. He says
they are very busy now, digging deep
winter houses and that they have
gone to work much earlier hat usual,
which he thinks indicates an early as
well as a hard winter. As Mr.. Watt
has hit it pretty closely in his prog
n~ostications heretofore we are inclin-
ed to give considerable credence to
what he says in this matter.

THE ENGLISH SPARROW.
A Very Interesting Letter From Hon.
Frank Bond, President of the Chey-
IN Audubon Society.
Cheyenne, Wyo.
Aug. 9th, 1901.
DEAR COLONEL CRAWFORD:


mote in 1.-THE Sun" of yesterday
IN appeal to your town authorities to
exterminate the English Sparrow
which has at last appeared in your
midst. I am sure your recognition of
the pest and your prompt appeal for
defensive measures will not go unre-
warded. If you will allow me to sug-
gest I would say do not arm the
small boy, indiscriminately, and not
at all until after the fall migrations
are over. Nine out of ten are unable
to identify the English sparrow until
after long association; indeed the
same might be said of grown people
who do not observe birds closely, and
the result of arming is often disaster
GUS to many species of native spar
rows among which | mention particu
larly the House finch which breeds
abundantly in Cheyenne now and
sings most ravishingly, for a small
bird. When the SHOWS begin to fall
and lie on the ground the English
sparrow forages in iocks, is noisy and
obtrusive and may easily be 'pot
shot" with a shot gun loaded with
fine shot, or poisoned by scattering
carefully prepared whole wheat grains
around the manure piles and other
places where they feed. The latter
method l have practised in Cheyenne
for ten or twelve years, getting the
best results during winters when
the most snow lay Oh the ground.
To prepare the grain take a small
bottle Of strychnine such as is sold
by druggists to wolf prisoners ETC.,
(bottle about 2 ms. high and dis
solve the contents in a'quart of boil
ing water, boiling and stirring until
the crystals practically disappear.
Into the hot water put whole wheat,
of small grain as possible, for the
birds can swallow them easier, as
much as the poisoned water will COW
er and no more, and allow to stand
for AZ hours. The wheat grains will
take up the poisoned water, swelling
greatly, like beans that are soaked
preparatory to cooking. Now take
the grain and dry it carefully. | use
Mrs. Bonds kitchen range oven and
a large shallow pan, stirring the grain
and using great care not to scorch it.
The English sparrow is cautious and
suspicious and will refuse the grain if
it has an abnormal appearance.
This grain is deadly for the spar
row, one single grain killing a bird in
three minutes and the wheat did not
even reach the crop, in fact stuck
about half way down the throat.
You may have noticed in the Chey.
enne papers of last spring that we
had organized an Audubon society for
the protection of native birds and the
enforcement of the new bird law. l
would very much like to ask what is
the sentiment in your town regarding
this subjecti | would like very much
if such a society could be organized in
Saratoga. The incidental expense is
about q cents for each person which
buys a pledge card and a neat little
button bearing the picture of our gay
est Wyoming bird.
Very truly yours,
FRANK BoND, President

Stopped Horse and Threw His Arm Out

Boss Epperson, who came down
from the Mammoth mine last week
had his arm thrown out of place at
the shoulder Sunday evening about 8
o'clock while stopping a runaway
horse. There were two ladies in a
buggy and as they were coming off
the west end of the bridge the breech-
ing broke letting the buggy down on
to the horse, which took fright and
started to run and kick. The one
driving dropped a line and it looked
like there would be a smash up when
Boss caught the horses head, stopping
it, but twisting his arm so that it was
thrown out of place. We were I'M
able to learn who the occupants of
the carriage were.

Mining Machinery.

A very large amount of mining
machinery has pissed through Sara
toga this week, bound for the upper
country. This movement has been
going on the entire spring and sum
mer, and one would think that there
would be enough machinery in the
upper country to mine all the mineral
the mountains contain by this time.
There are at least 30 steam plants
in operation at this time and a third
as many more in contemplation.
