To tTttlize Flax strnw

Deadwood, s.. d., March 6-There is
a runlor that eastern parties are about
TO repair and remodel the wooden mill at
Edgemont and convert it into a mill for
the manufacture of linen made from
flax straw. This mill is in good repair,
;tsbeing built With the Intention of maxi
ing woolen cloth from wool taken from
the southern Black Hills range. The
process of utilizing the flax straw is en-
tirely new. an invention having been.
made whereby the small fbers in the
straw can be separated by means Of a.
chemical which dissolves the glutinous
material. The fbers are then separated
and woven like threads of cotton. Linen
cloth, made by the new process has
been subjected to the thorough investi-
cation of eastern linen importers. and 1t
has been pronounced nearly equal in
quality to that made in European coun-
tries. The cost is said TO be about one
third that of the old process.
The new process was discovered by a
young man known to South Dakota
people He has since organized COM
pany of Boston capitalists, with a cap
italizaton of s5,000,000. and he retains
one-third of the stock for his invention.I
The process makes it possible to work
the flax fiber in cotton mills. 1t is stat.
ed that the company has commenced
buying up the old cotton mills cf the
New England states and is converting
them into linen mills The inventor of
the process claims for it that il will
make the United States the leader in
1.-THE manufacture of linen goods. There
will be created demand for the flax
straw OF the eastern part of South Da-
kota and adjoining states. The mill at
Edgemont would be supplied with flax
straw from irrigated ground surrounds
ing that place. The straw can be baled
and shipped from any part of the state

STILL TANGLED
The Affairs of the Randolphs
 Cloves Company.
JUDGE THAYER HAS PAPERS.

Arguments Made Before Him in New
 Haven Yesterday-Every Inch of the
 Now Famous Cash Is Being Bitterly,
 Contested-Judge Thayer Tinted at
 q Receiver.
 The motion which was made some days ago to dissolve the injunction brought by George H. Gloves, restrain ing Charles Miller ct al from issuing SlOO,COO new stock of the Randolph- .s Gloves company, was heard yesterday by Judge Thayer in the superior court in New Haven. The arguments oc- cup1ed three hours, at the close of which the court took the paper and reserved decision. This is the latest feature in this great case. The O'Neflls, of this city, and Williams, represented the plaintiff, and Rurpee, of this city, and Stoddard, of Bridge. port, the defendant. The hearing was very bitter and interspersed with per- Sonalities of q startling nature, the result of the failure to come to an am- icable agreement of the situation in New Haven last Saturday. That cons ference was suggested by Colonel Bur- pee. He made certain OyertureS to MT Williams, of Derby, which, seem- ing favorable to him. were accepteds But afterward MT Williams began to think things over and the result was that he telephoned to Mir O'Neill Col- onel Burpee's suggestions, which were
 made to him early last week on New, Haven train. Mir O'Nell took in the | situation at q glance and telephoned to MT Williams that his arrangement would hardly do and to tell Colonel Burpee so. Colonel Burpee's sugges- +1o+ N | sue the new $lOOOOO worth of stock vided MT Cloves would withdraw his l injunction. Furthermore, they would | not bring up their motion to have ME l Cloves show cause why he should not 1 be punished for contempt of court in bringing suit against NIT Miller ill l New Jersey MT O'Nein saw that if l the annual meeting was held, in all | probability the S1OO,OOO new stock would be voted and then MT Gloves | would be as badly off as before. for Mir Miller and his friends would un. | questionably buy in this new stocks
 and thus have the controlling interests,
 which was what Mir Gloves was and
 is after This was the situation last Saturday and the proposed issuance or l this stock was the main point in the
 debate yesterday.
 Judge Thayer suggested that this
 stock be issued, but that it be placed l in the care of a receiver until the final decision in the case is given. NIT Stoddard objected to this on the 1 grounds that 1t would appear as an
 aspersion on his clients. Then came
 the personalities and peace. was re- 1 stored only when the court took the l papers and said he would think the l matter over.
