WANTS ONLY TEN MILLION.
Col. Robert A. Ammon Enters Suit Against
the Great Northern Mining and
Development Company.

New York, Sept. TEN million five
hundred dollars. Thatis the amount
Col. Robert Ammon declares he will
have from the present owners OF the
Gilt Edge mine Of Montana. Colonel
Ammon declares he was deprived of
the ownership of the mine by means
OF a most fragrant conspiracy.
He has filed a bill In the United
States circuit court asking that a
receiver be appointed for the Great
Northern Mining and Development
company, and summons have been
served upon the president and secre.
tary Of the company.
In 1894 he lent the company a large
sum OF money, 80 he claims, to pay
the laborers Mt the mines. More
creditors were there, however, and
they began to descend upon the Gilt
Edge like the %proverbial wolves upon
the flock.
Ammon's specific complaint Is that
while he was absent from Montana
L. G. Phelps caused the Gilt Edge
mine to be located by Nelson j. Lit.
tlejohn, although 1t was not subject
to relocation, Li~ttlejohn, so it is
averred, sold 1t to Phelps, who in
turn disposed OF 1t to the Great
Northern company.

In the island. Howard was placed
In jail and shortly will be court mar
tailed. Howard denies that he wos
ever an American soldier. He claims
he was born in Spain, that his father
was English and his mother Span
ish. but that he espoused the cause OF
the Filipinos. In 1896, after peace
was declared, he says he went to
Hong Kong and returned In 1898 as
Aguinaldo's chief Of artillery. While
In that position he says he made
friends with many Americans before
the insurrection, including General
Greene. He says he cast his lot with
AguInaldo at the time OF the rupture
with the Americans and he says that
he brought In 16 American prisoners
under a flag OF truce at Angles inSep-
TENDER, 1899. Howard denies that he
commanded the force at San Mateo
which killed General Lawton. He
speaks like an educated Englishman.

Howard at Angles In 1899. Two
former California volunteers identi-
fed Howard az a deserter from their

How Cow Island Was Named.

Many Il visitor to Montana has no
doubt wondered, on hearing OF Cow
island, on the Missouri, how IL OBJ
tained it's name. The facts are that
before the days of the cattlemen In
Montana, ana when domesticated
cattle were unknown In that portion
Of the state, aparty OF Indian traders
found "a solitary COW on the island,
which vas at that time hundreds Of
miles from any settlement where such
an animal could be found. With the
faculty OF the early pioneers for NAM
ing places after existing conditions
or p%eculiarities, the traders dubbed 1t
Cow island. Bossy had no doubt
been stolen by the Indians In one of
their many raids and driven to the
Missouri.
The island has evidently been n
fovorite rendezvous for large parties
Of Indians, 1t at n time being an
ideal camping ground for travelling
parties Of marauding redskins.

INJURED IN THE CHlKOOI PASS.
Charles Stanton Has Returned From Alaska
With Health Greatly impaired.

Charles Stanton, recently returned
from Alaska, has arrived at Miles
City In search OF his brother, Claud
Stanton, who at m time worked
for Matt Murphy, the cattleman,
says the Tribune. stanton made
about $4,000 In the gold fields, but n
good portion of that, he thinks, will
have to go toward restoring his
anatomy to normal conditions. He
left here about seven years ago for
Alaska and started on his return In
December, '9S, and was caught in u
terrible snowslide In the Chilkoot
pass, In which about 10 pack trains
were caught. 173 people were killed
and only 10 escaped, OF whom several
have since died. Stanton's side was
crushed in and also n portion OF his
skull. His eyes have a strange, un-
natural appearance, the left being
considerably lower than the other
and looks In an opposite direction,
the result OF injury and paralysis.
He was unable to find his brother,
and purchased a skiff, wherein he will
make the trip to Omaha, via the yell
lowstone and Missouri rivers, his
relatives being there and his money
being sent on ahead.
He was ace the owner OF Black
Diamond, a famous horse which
made the half in AZ seconds at Butte
and was bought by Sid Paget, who
took him to Chicago and, finally to
France.

ALL BUT THREE ESCAPED.
The Asylum for the Insane at Norfolk,
Neb.. Completely Destroyed by Fire
Loss, S3OO,OOO.

Norfolk, Neb., Sept. 24.-The asylum
for the insane in this city was COM
pletely destroyed by fire Monday. 1t
is believed that three of the inmates
were burned to death. The fire orig
mated from unknown cause in the
west wing of the institution. The loss
on buildings and their contents will
reach an amount estimated at not
less than 100000.
Owing to the early hour and the
fact that the fire department was un-
prepared, little could be done in the
effort to save the institution. Be-
fore the firemen reached the site it
was found that the main building was
doomed. There were 600 inmates in
this structure and the efforts to rescue
them were difficult in the extreme.

NEW PACIFIC CABLE.
Vast Commercial Project with John W.
Mackay ut Its Decentralization Of
Tolls Promised.

Albany, n. Y, Sept. 24.-The Com
mercial Pacific Cable company, with
a capital stock of 100000, was incor-
pOrated here Monday by the following
gentlemen: John w. Mackay, Clar-
ence H. Mackay, Edward C. Plat,
Albert Beck, George G. Ward, Albert
b. Chandler and William w. Cook.
Respecting the purposes and pros
poets of the new company, Mr..
Mackay said it had been organized
to lay a submarine cable from Cali
fOrnia to the Philippine islands by
way of Honolulu. The length of the
cable will be about $500 miles, the
part to be first laid being from Cali
fornia to the Hawaiian islands.
The new cable, when it reaches the
Philippines, will connect at that point
with the present submarine cable
running from the Philippines to Japan
and also the cable running from the
Philippines to China. A direct cable
route from China and Japan to the
United States will thereby be estab-
lished. At present cablegrams from
China to the United States have to
be sent by way of Europe. Mr..
Mackay said that the present cable
rates from the United States to the
Philippines and to China and Japan
would be reduced when the new cable
is laid from 30 to 60 per cent.

Defeated Leader OF the Late Steel Strike
Out In q Letter Denouncing Samuel

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 24.-President
Shaffer. of the Amalgamated associa-
ton, has prepared an exhaustive
statement reviewing the incidents of
the late strike of the steel workers.
The interesting feature of President
Skaters statement is his severe criti-
cism of other labor organizations for
their failure to come to the aid of the
Amalgamated men in their hour of
trial. He is especially severe in his
criticism of those labor leaders who
promised assistance and, as he says,
failed to keep their agreement. He
attacks Samuel Gompers, of the Fed
Grafton of Labor, whom he accuses of
betraying the interests of the steel
workers.
