MAKES MONEY WoLFING.
T. j. Smith Gets $1,O23 for Six Weeks
Work.

T. J.. Smith, a wolfer who has been
operating on the Crow reservation for
the Hayne Cattle company, was in
town Monday and cashed in a nice
little bunch of scalps, says the Rose
bud County News. Smith was assist
ed by two men and in the last six
weeks they have succeeded in killing
"A wolf pups, four wolves and Is coy
otes. AS results show, they have op-
Grated mostly on the plan of locat-
ing dens and tAen digging after the
pups. In one den after digging for Sc
hours they found twelve pups. In ad-
dition to the SIS bounty paid by the
state, Mr.. Smith obtained SIS per head
from the Hayne Cattle company, and
81 from the government, making $11
in all for each, amounting to a total
$1,023. After paying his men their
wages he had a fine profit to show
for his six weeks work. Mr.. Smith
remained in town long enough to set
tie up some business affairs and then
left for Miles City for a few days
recreation.

PLEAD FOR AN INDIAN.
Governor Asked to Extend CIemency
to Little WhirIwind.

A second application has beer made
to the governor of the state for a par
uon for Little Whirlwind, the North
ern Cheyenne Indian, who is serving
a sentence in the penitentiary for
being implicated in the murder OF
David Hoover, a s~heepherder in Gus
ter county several years ago., says the
Helena Herald. The case may be
termed celebrated, as the former ad-
m~inistration was asked to pardon the
Indian but declined.
Bishop L.. H. Brewer Of the Episco-
pal church and Col. w. F. Sanders to-
day called upon Governor Toole and
asked him to extend executive elem
ency to Little Whirlwind. The gov
ernor heard them, looked over their
petitions and papers and took the
matter under advisement.
Eovernor Smith was once asked by
Colonel Sanders and others to pardon
Little Whirlwina but he declined.
Little Whirlwind was convicted in
1898. Spotted Hawk who was con-
victed of the same ~offense, secured a
new trial from the supreme court and
was released. The friends of Little
Whirlwind have always claimed that
since he was tried upon exactly the
same evidence he was entitled to some
relief, too.
The Indian Rights association of
which George B. Grinnell, of Forest
and Stream is a prominent membeh,
has been untiring in it's efforts to Sc
cure a pardon for Little Whirlwind,
claiming that he is being unjustly pun
ished:
The killing of Hoover caused con-
siderable excitement and threatened
to develop a wal between the settlers
and the Indians. For several days re-
lations were strained and the gov.
eminent had to send troops to the
reservation to cool off the war feeling
among the reds.

New YORK, May 1.-THE Mail and
Express says: The correspondence
between Thomas w. Lawton, of Bos-
ton, owner of the 94-foot yacht indie
pendence, and the Americas cup
committee has reached such an acute
stage of bitterness on the part of the
Boston man that the committee has
decided to break off all negotiations
and TO bar the boat, not only from
the trial races to select a defender
to meet Shamrock H., but from all
other events over which the New
York Yacht club will have jurisdic-
ton.
The correspondence has been
turned over to the printers and will

tomorrow.
The decision not to permit Inde-
pendence to race in the trials against
Constitution and Columbia was
reached by the club committee at a
special meeting held today in the Of
flee of Mr.. Belmont. 1t is a long
standing rule of the club that no
yacht shall be eligible to compete in
any OF the clubs events, unless her
owner be a member of the Organiza-
ton.
The statement is made that Mr..
Lawson intimated that the boat would
be raced in the trials in spite of the
New York Yacht club.

WILL TAKE AN APPEAL
Opponents of Amalgamated Alb
sorption Will Go to
Higher Court.

New York, May 1S.-Flavel MCGEE,
counsel tor the c. = :. Evener com
pany of Boston, one of the complain
ants in the suit to make permanent
the temporary injunction granted re-
straining the Amalgamated Copper
company from buying the Boston &
Montana and Butte & Boston compa-
MES, received today from Vice-Chan.
cellor Pitney of Jersey City, a copy
of the order which will be signed by
the vice-chancellor on Monday, dis
solving the temporary injunction
against the Amalgamated company.
The vice-chancellor says: at is i'm
possible to say that the valuation of
the property of the Boston & Montana
at $50, O00, OOU was excessive or that
It's purchase at that price vas impru-
dent"
The case of the Butte & Boston
company property, the vice-chancel-
lor said, presented more difficulties.
One of the affidavits of the company
that Of Mr.. Previse, valued the Butte
&Boston property at ST., 500, 900, but
that affidavit alone produced little eff
oA ~ f4SS-SA104SCl1o1 . 1ll1lu. .
"The defendant" says Vice-Chancel-
lor Pitney, "relies on the matter of
the value of it's stocks, on it's earn
ings for the last year or two, and on
the opinion of Mr.. King, and upon the
fact that control of the Butte & Bos-
ton stock would be of great value to
the defendant for the purpose of pre-.
venting a clash of rights arising out
OF the mining laws of the United
states"
The vice-chancellor also said that of
the $%75,00O000 Of stock of the Anal
gamated Copper company, held by a
great number of persons only the
complainant and c. H. Evener com
pany, with 100 shares, have asked for
relief. Their 204 shares comprised
but a small part of one per cent of
the stock.
In conclusion the vice chancellor
says: 81 will advise that the order
be discharged with COSTS"
When Vice-Chancellor Pitney in.
formed counsel that he would decide
for the defendant, Isaac S. Taylor,
counsel for Geer, the original COM
plainant, gave notice that he would
appeal. 1t is probable that Taylor
will state grounds of his appeal on
Monday in the Jersey City chancery
chambers. Vice-Chancellor Pitney
will ON Monday send his findings to
Chancellor Magic, whose signature is
necessary to all chancery court de-
crees. The rule is that the chancel-
lor acts according to the advice of his
vice-chancellors.

witness the unloading and to later
see the performances, had begun to
think that there would be no show.
The arrival of the train was gladly
hailed as vas also the announcement
that the first performance would be-

tically the same as that of last year,
and it never fails to interest the child
rem, who delight to e the dogs and

The delay in the arrival of the show
train was caused by trouble ON the

ROBBERY CASE DISMISSED.
Prosecuting Witness Thought to Have
Been Spirited Away.

Been Spirited Away.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
The preliminary hearing of F. A.
Kinnick and Mike Burns, charged with
robbery, was held before Justice Mann
yesterday afternoon. The hearing
was first set for Wednesday, but had
to be postponed owing to the absence
of the prosecuting witness, John Nor
gan. At that time it was believed
Morgan had been prevailed upon to
leave town by the friends of Kinnick
and Burns. This belief was strength
ened when Morgan failed to appear
yesterday, and the prisoners were &C
cordingly discharged. The county at,
torney moved the dismissal of the
case, stating to the court that the
prosecuting witness had either been
hidden or run out of town, as he
could not be found.
The authorities are positive that
Morgan was gotten out of town and
they have their eyes upon the per-
sons who were instrumental in the
deal and will keep a close tab on
them for future developments.

From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
Justice Mann's court was a busy
place yesterday afternoon, being oc-
cupied with the Chinese case where
in 500 Key was prosecuted for as
sault in the first degree upon Sam
Lee. "
A number of persons we're present
to hear the proceedings, the majority
being Celestials. Four Cinnamon
were suDpoenaed as witnesses, but
only II testified.
The first witness was Sam Lee. He
testified to having gone down into
the basement of the California res.
taurant to see Cow Ling on business,
Wednesday night. He said that he
was approached by 500 Key, who was
smoking hop, and the latter told him
that he wanted his woman and his
money. Lee told Key that he did not
know what he was referring to and
told him he was crazy. One word led
to another and Key threatened to per-
forate Lee, and made a motion to.
ward his waist as if 70 draw a revol
YER, w%hereupon Lee made rapid tracks
for a safe place. He had not gone
far when he heard a pistol shot.
G. E. Warner, chief of police, testi-
fed to having visited the basement
where the trouble took place. He
stated that he had found an indenta-
ton in the plastering of the wall as
though made by a bullet and also to
finding a bullet on the floor. In his
opinion the indentation had been but
recently made.
The case was then submitted to the
court without argument from either
side. After a few minutes considera-
ton, Justice Mann announced the
Judgment of the court, binding the de.
PENDANT over to the district court.
Bail was fixed at $500 and in default
500 Key went to Jail to remain there
until June Ii, at least.
