After three days and half of argu-
ment, during which six eminent attor-
neys addressed the court at length,
Judge Harney at II o'clock this morning
took under advisement the matter OF
issuing an order for the distribution Of
the residue of the big Andrew Davis es-

This action of the court concluded
hearing which began Monday morning

of the estate, asking that the residue
be distributed, the petition being re-
sisted by John T.. Davis and John H.
Leyson, the former being another heir
and the latter the administrator Of the
estate.
Four lawyers. Attorneys Claybers.

spoke to the matter at issue exhaust
lively, and the tables were covered with
the lawbooks used in the arguments.
The estate has been II years in course
of administration, and Attorney Leon
ard likened it to Dickens celebrated
case Of Jarndyce VS.. Jarndyce in Bleak
House."
The distribution was asked by the petit
TONERS because they are getting old,
and objected to by the administrator
and Mr.. Davis because there is litiga.
tion against the estate still unsettled.
The property in the estate here con-
sists of bank stock valued at about
100000 and Sico,c00 in money. Besides
this there is $3.50, 900 in Boston, making

oCToBER's OUTPUT WAS RECORD
BREAKER.
TONS PER ANNUM

Western Buyers-Large Contracts
Placed for steel Rails by
leading Roads.
(By Associated Press.) }

New York. Nov. 1.-THE Iron Age
says: Our reports from the pig iron
manufacturers covering production in
this country show that the month was
record breaker.
The output reached the great total Of
1,400, 90 0tons, or at the rate of 16,S0O,0 600
per annum.
The furnaces in blast on November
! had a weekly capacity Of 320S24 tons,
based on their actual yield in October.
This is in excess of any previous records
The coke and anthracite furnaces re-
porting stocks comprising practically all
the furnaces making foundry and forge
iron, had only .OS9 tons on hand No
vember l, against 299,S24 tons October 1,
which is a reduction of 76,735 tons.
The charcoal furnaces reported re-
duction of 11.607 tons in the same time.
This is the heaviest reduction in stocks
made in single month in long period,
and it was made concurrently with q
great increase in production.
Evidence of Activity.
1t would be difficult to find stronger
evidence of the activity now prevailing
in the iron trade or better basis on
which to form the opinion that prices are
not likely soon to recede.
The pig iron situation is strengthened
by the difficulty still experienced in Sc
curing coke by reason of the shortage of
cars.
More furnaces have been banked in
the Central West during the week. and
the production for this month will be
curtailed to a considerable extent.
This will particularly affect the out
put of steel. The output was not equal
to the demand when everything was
ming nnth1v IN OctObpr.
Pig iron for steel making is in sharp
demand. A 3OOO-ton lot of Cornwall
Isessemer was taken at an advance price.
Basic pig is about 25 cents higher ct
Western furnaces, with a great deal Of
business under negotiation.
Large Contracts Placed.
Some large contracts have been placed
for steel rails, including $1,000 tons by
the Baltimore & Ohio. $4,000 tons by the
Illinois Central road and 10000 tons by
the Wabash.
Railroad companies that have not yet
arranged for their next years require
ments will not now be able to get orders
in for summer delivery except for small
lots. The important statement Is made
that the rail mills of the United States
Steel corporation have their total outpl.
for 1902, under contract.
The American Shipbuild1ng company
has contracted for large tonnage OF
plates for lake vessels. The probabilities
now point to a consolidation of several
important plate mills in Eastern Pennsyl-
vania.
The continued scarcity of steel billets
is shown by the sale of German sheet
bars for delivery in December.
The price of bar iron has been reduced
81 per ton to buyers west of Pittsburg,
which brings it in line with steel bars.
A sharp advance has occurred in pig
tin, caused by the demand for sheet
The price is up fully Y Of accent. Copper

QUEER TALE OF A PRISON ESCAPE
Reward Offered for the Arrest
Of Crafty Captured.

all events, they got away, AMI re-
ward of $50 each was offered for them.
No man captured them. But La FOn-
taine, under the name of Peter Henry,
bunted q man on the head with brick
and robbed him.
The blow nearly killed the man, and
Therriault getting on his trail, chased
him to the Canada border and captured
him as Peter Henry.
He was brought back to Kalispell and
tried as Peter Henry. it not being
known there that he was also La Fon-
taine, the escaped convict.
Peter Henry desired to avoid an inves-
tigation that might disclose his identity
as La Fontaine, so he FASTENED to plead
guilty and was given sentence of five
years. which was much lighter than he
would have got had his record been
known.
And when he came again to the prison
he was speedily recognized. and Deputy
Sheriff Therriault learned that there
was a reward for him and claimed it.
1t seems that the fact that he had
been returned upon second commit
ment made the warden, who had raised
the reward to 500, haggle over pay
ing it,
Basis Of Claim.
The deputy sheriff insists with reason
that the reward is rightfully his, since
no matter how Peter Henry Alex Fon-
taine George GS9diner. the willy half
breed, was returned, or upon how many
commitments he is now once more
within the grim grey stone walls to
serve out his unfinished term. as we'll

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE HUMIL-
IATEs LONDON COUNCIL.
Welfare IN FOREIGN HANDS
Chicago Promoter May Have the Field
of London's Electric Street Transit
to Himself-Depends Only on
Method If Traction.
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Nov. Accommodating on
the rivalry now existing between the
London county council and the Yerkes
syndicate, a London correspondent says:
A sudden spasm of activity on the
part Of the London county council re-
specting electric traffic is attributed 70
jealousy of Mr.. Yerkes.
The American syndicate has not yet
accomplished any practical results since
its scheme has been obstructed by
controversy over the method of electric
traffic on the old underground system.
It has produced plans for a compre-
hensive system Of electric transit con-
Meeting with the district line, and Is
acquiring control of one authorized pa
per scheme after another, and Is open
ing the way for working out the pro-
gram rapidly, If the arbitrator, the board
of trade, decides against the Metro
politan directors method Of supplying
electric power.
Council Is Humiliated.
The London county council is humili-
ated by the evidence that the important
question relating to the welfare of Lon
don is passing into the control Of for
eign hands.
It has come to the front with two
comprehensive plans for the relief of
Londoners.
One is system Of shallow tunnels for
the present transportation of passengers
under thoroughfares by an electric tram
way and the other is system OF sub
ways for sewers, pipes, wires and tele-
phones, by which the unceasing upheaval
of the streets and consequent block of
traffic can be prevented.
There will be little opposition to either
scheme from the public, but there is
little confidence that the council can
carry out its projects without prolonged
delay and obstruction from either par
lament or the rate payers.
Tax Burdens Heavy.
The burdens of local taxation are al
ready so heavy that the systematic in
PRODUCTION of shallow tunnels and sub
ways on large scale would be retarded
by prudential considerations.
London, owing to the absence of con-
troll authority and the lack Of unification
in metropolitan government, has fallen
behind the large capitals of the world
in transit facilities, but the rate payers
are not prepared to assume additional
financial responsibilities.
Mr.. Yerkes will probably have the field
to himself, If he succeeds in obtaining
favorable decision from the arbitrator
respecting the method Of electric trac-
tion.

Deputy Sheriff Therriault of Kalispell
was in Butte today on his way to the
state prison at Deer Lodge with rob-
Der.
The mans name was Frank McCor-
mack and he was convicted at Kalispell
of robbery for picking the pockets of a
drunken man in a saloon.
The man sat sleeping in a chair, and
Mccormack was given one year for the
crime. There was little or nothing In the
mans pockets, SO McCormack's expert
ence was altogether improbable. He
was a young man and laborer and had
lived for a considerable time at kalis-
pell.
Earns a Reward.
Deputy Sheriff Therriault is quite
thief-taker in his way, and he recently
earned a reward of 800 by capturing a
halfbreed who had escaped from the
penitentiary.
The rewal' has not been paid. but the
officer expected to have an interview
with Warden Conley of the state prison
about it when he should reach Deer
lodge today.
The halfbreed has three different
names, and is a crafty fellow. and that
is why there is a hitch over the pay
ment of the reward.
His names are respectively Alex La
Fontaine. Peter Henry and George Gar

another halfbloOd named Francis Selpe.

First Thought Wrong.
At first it was thought the bricks came
from the remodeling work that is go
ing on upstairs in the jailer's room.
improvements are being made there
and two partitions We're taken out.
Under cover of the noise made by the
carpenters the prisoners downstairs in
the bull-pen dug out the west wall
leading from the row of cells into the
jailer's Office and bath room.
Jnce outside of the corridor it would
be an easy matter to force the way
out into the alley.
Police Are Puzzled.
Last night the police were puzzled over
the finding of bricks. At Jailer Sheas
request Sergeant Dawson and officers
made a close examination of the cells
and corridors, but could not locate the
place from which the bricks We're be-
ing taken.
This morning Jailer Levy found large
hole in the side wall that had been cut
out during the night.
The guard set by the night men had
ented the prisoners from working
ali the way through.
Guard Prevents Escape.
A hole several feet square was made,
but the prisoners were unable to work
through, on account of the guard set,
and this morning the excavation was
discovered.
A large iron door leads from the cor
ridor into the old office and 1t was un-
derneath this that the prisoners We're
working.
Today heavy wood work was placed
against the opening and braced against
| further attack by the prisoners to serve
as barricade until brick masons can
get to work.
Several Desperate Men.
There are several desperate men con-
fined in the city jail--an alleged dia-
mond thief, under suspicion; two hold
up men and several sneak thieves are
among the prisoners.
All Of them are looked upon by the
| police as men who would take long
chances in an attempt to break for
| liberty.
