The parents and guardians of the lads
secured their release until tomorrow
when they will produce the youngsters in

Down in the southern part of the city
there are some real dangerous boys who
are to be arrested as soon as they can be
caught. A few days ago they released
the air OF four local freight cars on a
steep grade on the Great Northern rail-
road track near the Maryland avenue
crossing and it came very near causing a
bad wreck and possibly a loss of life
The cars started down the Hill towards
Rocker, but it so happened that there
was a live locomotive ON a side track
near by, the engineer of which saw the
cars going. Quickly switching to the
main track he pulled the throttle and
sent the engine after the cars, gradually
drawing up to them to avoid sudden con-
tact. One of the train crew coupled the
locomotive to the cars While they We're
running at a good rate Of speed, and a
possible accident further down the line
was thus averted. The boys who did the
mischief escaped, but they are being
trailed by railroad detectives.

Following is a history of the Conan
che mining litigation up to this time.
The case is an old one, having been
tried before a jury some years since,
at which time it was decided against
Mr.. Wetzstein. While few people know
the exact details of the case. there is
a pretty general sentiment that the
closing of the mine and throwing out
Of employment of 800 men for an in
definite peHod is a serious matter for
the community. and there is much COM
ment to the effect that there ought to
be some way in which case of this
kind could be handled and justice done
without resort to such extreme pro-
oeedinss as closing the mine down:
Several years since. Adolph Wetzstein
brought a suit in the district court
against Patrick a. Largely and the Bos-
ton & Montana company. claiming to
own a one-fourth interest in the CO.
mancha lode claim, which he claimed
to have acquired from David n. Upton
and II. l.. Frank. This suit came on
for hearing before Judge Lindsay and
jury several Years since. and the find
ings We're in favor of the Boston &
Montana company on every poin; of the
controversy. pom the tflai OF lnat
cause. it appeared that F. Augustus
Heinze had bought in with Wetzst Elm.
and was the handspring in the litiga-
ton. The verdict OF the jury was APP
proved by Judge Lindsay and decree
entered against Wetzstein, and ad-
judged the Boston & Montana company
to be the owner of the entire Comanche
lode claim. WetZsten made a motion
for a new trial, which was overruled,
and the case was appealed to the SUI
pTeme court where the same is now
pending.

Goldwater Arraigned and His Case Set
chamberlain Dismissed.

Fl. Goldwater was arraigned in the
police court this morning on a charge
Of violating section l of ordinance $685.
relating to the closing of secondhand
stores between 6 p. m. and a. m.
The complaint was made by A. s.
Mocabee. representing the Clerks
union. and the specific charge against
Goldwater Is that he did business after
6 O'clock on the evenings of February
and 2. The defendant entered a plea
of not guilty and his case was set for
next Tuesday afternoon.
Ed Chamberlain, the young man who
was accused of slapping Lille Caldwell
in the face, was arraigned in the police
court this morning and the charge dis
missed. Judge Sullivan in Diminishing
the charge said that there appeared to
be m1take in the identity of the
defendant, but told the young man that
the best thing that he could do would
be to keep away from the district pre-
sided over by the women of the half

BANK ROBBERS WILL NOW PLEASE
RETIRE FROM BUSINESS IN BUTTE

The banks Of Butte and the larger mer-
camille houses are being equipped with
police patrol calls that will render the
holding up of any OF those institutions
an nDossibility.
AS soon as the order hands up is
heard. a call is sent into police head
quarters for the patrol wagon, and the
policemen. knowing the source of the
call will lose no time in responding.
Before a robber could get around the
counter of a bank the patrol wagon and
policemen would be at the door.
The call. which consists of clock-like
affair, is permanently established in some
cutoff he-way place in bank, and
wires leading from it go to every VIM
dow and desk in the office. Buttons are
fixed on the lower part of the counters,
and on the floor within easy reaching
distance of the foot. In the event of a
hold-up, a clerk can touch the button
| under the counter and send in the alarm,
but in the event of being surprised and

made to hold up his hands before he
can touch the button. a slight NOV ement
of the foot that would never be noticed,
presses a button on the floor. This last
mentioned button is placed on an in
clined board so that it is out of the way
and not liable to be touched by accident
The alarm from the clock like machine
in the back room makes but little noise,
and would not be heard in the front of
a bank or Office. The machines are p,lr-
chased by the banks or offices estab-
fishing them. and are put IN under the
direction of the chief Of the fire depart
ment. Their maintenance, which is but
small,is paid by the institutions.
On Monday a call was sent in by the
State Savings bank and before a half
minute had elapsed. the patrol wagon
was at the door of the institution. The
sending in of the call was an accident,
but it demonstrated to the satisfaction
of the bank officers chat the wires were
in perfect working order.

C0mAnCHE Mine HAS
Been CLOSED DOWN.
OVER 800 MINERS THROWN OUT OF EMPLOYMENT BY JUDGE
CLANCYS 0RDER-MUST REMAIN IDLE UNTIL APRIL 2,
WHEN HEARING WILL BE HELD-A LOSS OF NEARLY
100000 IN WAGES TO EMPLOYEES IN THE -
MEANTIME.

A little over a year ago WetZStein
began another suit against the Boston
& Montana company upon almost the
identical same grounds, before Judge
Lindsay, and asked Judge Lindsay for
an injunction enjoining the Boston &
Montana company from mining in the
Comanche claim. Judge Lindsay re
fused this injunction, and Watzstein
appealed to the supreme court of Mon
tana for an Injunction upon the same
grounds upon which he had applied to
Judge Lindsay.
A few days since. the supreme court
sustained Judge Lindsay in his order
refusing the injunction. Besides this
appeal from the injunction, there are
two other appeals in the supreme court
from final judgments against WetZ
STEM in causes like the one commenced
on the 10th instant.
On the 10th inst. a complaint was
filed before Judge Clancy by Wetzstein,
e,nbodying almost identically the same
charges as contained in his two former
complaints. and asking Judge Clancy to
appoint a receiver and to enjoin the
Boston & Montana company from min
ing within, or even entering upon, or
within. the Comanche claim.
Without hearing, Judge Clancy is
sued temporary restraining order,
restraining the Boston & Montana COM
pany from mining the property, or
from entering in or upon it, and set
the time for final hearing upon this
injunction for April ,. In the mean
time as stated. unless some relief can
be had. the Comanche claim. where
about 800 men We're employed, must be
closed down, and even the workings
must not be entered by the Boston &
Montana company, to keep the same in
repair.

wishes police protection of some kind.
