or you'll never get 'em." The con-
stable ignored the advice and allowed
the goods to remain on the premises.
That night the house burned to the
ground.
The prosecution alleges that the
Werners gave no alarm: and that not
a little of the household goods had
been removed and stored in a neigh
bor's place. between the time of the
sale and the fire.
The defense alleged that If any such
remark was made as that reported by
Constable Murray, 1t was an idle re-
mark and that the statement that no
alarm was given and that goods were
removed was false. MIR. and Mrs.
Werner told. on the stand that they
were awakened by smoke and had no
end of difficulty in escaping with their
lives and saving their two little chill
dren. The two little children. hand
some, bright-faced twins. were
brought into court and allowed to
romp around the room, all during the
trial.
Mrs. Werners injured hand was
also in evidence. The jury was out at
adjourning time The defendant was
represented by Attorneys II. =. Duffy

RobiEg charged him with having
waylaid a Hotel Jermyn bell hoy at
| o'clock in the morning. while he was
on the way to the postofiicc. and
robbed him of bunch of letters he
was carrying. A police officer caught
the thief and recovered the letters.
Attorney j. NJ. Walker pleaded that
Brooks was guilty of n drunken prank
rather than robbery and asked that
the sentence be imposed accordingly.
Judge Carpenter took the plea under
consideration.

admission by DR.. Roberts that both
bullet wounds might have been in
flicted while Mrs. Rose was in the

The coroner was positive that the

To ENJOIN MINERS UNION FROM
PURCHASING AMALGAMATEO
STOCK.

The first legal step to prevent the Min
ers' union from investing $40 900 Of the
funds in stock of the Amalgamated Cop
per company was taken in the district
court today, by the filing of suit to en-
join the union from carrying out the
terms of the resolution adopted by 1t
few days ago authorizing the trustees to
buy the stock. The matter has been set
for hearing before Judge Clancy at 10
O'Clock on June 3.

TITS are members Of the union, which is
large, consisting Of over 5000 persons,
and that to bring them all before the
court would be impracticable. The plain
tiffs therefore say they are suing for
their own benefit and the benefit Of the
other members.
The complaint further alleges that the
union is a corporation, a benevolent and
social organization having as its object
the protection of its members in pursuit
Of their fearfully hazardous avocations

The Inter Mountains coupon contest
is catching on at a great rate in the
city Of Butte, and. in fact, all over the
state. It is plain that the candidates
for the trip to the great exposition are
husling and hustling hard. Every Id
ter Mountain seen in a public place Is
minus the coupon and the girls ssAre
watching out to take in all the little ball
lots that come their way. NJ
Twill YOU be sure and save me all
the coupon votes you can get?" asks, the
smiling girl Of the young man a.ho
is in a position to clip the coupons frorp
a number of copies Of the paper cherry
day. It's good system, too and it win1
lots of votes. The young men are oper-
ating on the system that has for it's
maxim whats worth having is worth
asking for and those who ask and ask
first generally receive. At least, they re-
ceive a promise. t..
But the real hustling is done by thos4
who get out and work on a large scale
and in quiet way. Friends count in q
contest. Any politician will vouch for
the truth of the statement that a word
from sincere we'll wisher is worth a
dozen personal praises. By friends in
political contests and in coupon contests
is not meant the friends of lifetime
Any kind of friend will do. Newly
made friends are just as good as any.

It's the best cat they say. that catches
the most mice, and it's the best friend
that rustles the most coupons-other
things being equal.
Last year Miss McAndrews. who SO
ably conducted her own campaign for the
Alaskan trip. had better and more orig
inal ideas than any one else in the rum
ming. That's the reason why she won.
One of the things she did was to send
out to every court house in the state a
letter to some Of the officials asking them
to save the Inter Mountain coupons. She
didn't sign the letters herself but as
some of the good natnred county officials
in the Silver Bow county court house
did so, it was even better than her own
appeal would have been.
Assuredly the coupon contest is catch
ing on in Butte, and then there are the
outside places to hear from yet
The pan that requires all who vote the
first series of coupons to get them into
the Inter Mountain counting room before
o'clock at night May 81, is securing
good results The coupon from that date
to week from that time will constitute
the second series and each weeks series
must be voted before the next series be-
gins. This plan will work for the conven-
fence of all concerned in the voting and
bring the vote up to it's fullest purpor-
tions early in the fight.

HUSBAND CHARGES BlGAMY.
II. J. Scott Causes His Wife's Arrest
Says She Has One Spouse
Too Many.

Minnie E. Scott, who has lived in
Butte about five years, was arrested
late this afternoon on a complaint
charging her with having one more hus
band than the law allows. The accusa-
ent husband, who, according to The story
related by MIN to the county attorney,
.o4u not know until last night tn;
wife had never been divorced from her
first husband
He said he and the Wolr>.li were united
i'll marriage in this city November Il,
1899, and the fact that she had another
husband nving never occurred to him.
Her father, mother and sister had been
living with them at 1888 West Granite
street. She and the sister, however, had
a misunderstanding, and the latter told
his brother about the alleged biSamous
act of Mrs. Scott. The brother told
Scott and when he went home last night
he spoke of the matter to the household.
Mrs Scotts mother and father, Scott
said admitted the accusation. as id his
wife, who, he says, stated that she had
lived with her first husband six years,
and left him because he had not sup
ported her.
A row over a division of the furniture
is said to save followed between the
SCOTS. Mrs Scott wanted everything
ir sight, Scott claims, but he would not
have it that way, so today he Charged
her with bigamy.
The arrest was made by Constable
Boyle of Justice Arnold's court, and the
justice fixed bond at $500.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
WHY THE BOND WAS NOT GOOD
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

especial TO inter MOuntaln.)
Helena, May 1S.-Clerk Ricketts, of the
supreme court today filed his reasons
for disappearing the bond Of the Della
ware Surety company for the Montana
Ore Purchasing company. They ara,
that he did not deem the company finan-
cially and sufficient surety on the bond;
because the surety has not complied
with the state laws so as to entitle =.
to transact the business of surety COM
pany in the state, and because the
surety company has no license from the
state auditor to transact business as a
surety company
The last reason is based on the fact
that the license authorizes the company
to do only an insurance business. and
the law makes a separate provision for
surety companies and does not include
them under the head of insurance COM
panies.
The Montana Ore Purchasing company
will file motion today for hearing on
the matter.

among those engaged in hazardous en-
lloyment; that they might be better en-
abled to form an undivided opposition to
acts of injustice. Its members. says the
complaint, are not holders of stock, as
the corporation issues no stock.
Continuing, the complaint says the
unon has about $4,000 in cash which is
now on depcsit in the bank. and that
tie cney is subject to the orders of the
union and its officers for legitimate use
as provided by its charter and bylaws;
that the defendants-John Shay, Charles
OBriea. Joseph Head and James p. Murs
ply trustees. John NJ. Sullivan as
treasurer. John Multha as vice-president
Jeremiah Hanloy as financial secretary.
Frank O'Connor and John r. Murphy as
recording secre taries- have threatened
to and are about to invest $4,000 of the
unions fund in the capital stock of the
Amalgamated Copper company, foreign
corporation, having been Incorporated
under the laws of New Jersey with its
principal place of business in Jersey City
n. j.. and that the proposed investment
is by virtue of certain pretended order
signed by John Shay. Charles O'Brien,
James P. Murphy and John NJ. Sullivan.
pretending to act in their official capacity
as trustees and treasurer of the union;
that the trustees who signed the order
We're never authorized by the members
to do SO, except that at certain meet
ing held on or about May A. about 240
members voted in favor of the payment
of the money for the stock.
The plaintiffs allege that the articles of
Incorporation make no provision for the
payment of union funds for mine stock
and that neither the president Of the
union, Joseph Shannon was Joseph Head
as trustees have signed the order for the
proposed purchase.
In conclusion the plaintiffs ask that an
injunction be issued restraining the de-
PENDANTS from making the investment or
from paying the money to the Amalga-
mated company for any other purpose.
