The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-05-17
Especial to Inter Mountain.)


New York. May 1.-THE injunction
restraining the Amalgamated Copper
company from absorbing the Butte &
Boston and the Boston & Montana min
ing companies has been dismissed by the
New Jersey courts.
The news that all obstructions pre-
venting the Amalgamated company from
taking over the two Butte properties had
been removed impaired unusual strength
to shares of the former concern.
A representative of the company said
mo time will be lost in effecting the
proposed consolidation. A majority of
the interests in the Boston & Mon1 ma
and Butte & Boston companies have al
ready approved of the merger and will
exchange their stock for Amalgamata6
on the price agreed upon. l am not in
position at the present time to say as
to the basis of the transfer. l am sure
it will be satisfactory to all concerned.
LAS to the possible consolidation Of the
Amalgamated and Clark properties, there
is nothing to say at the present time.
While l believe that such consolidation
will be effected. it is not what could be
called a matter of the near future"
The Ama1gLm tied Injunction was set
aside on the grounds that it was prema-
ture, and that the stockholders could get
their consent which jeopardized their in
terests. The vice chancellor gives as his
reason that an injunction at this time

ROBBER DRESSED AS A WOMAN
Employe of the County Court House
Thrashes an Unusual Highway
man Who Assaulted Him.

An employee at the county court house,
whose modesty will not permit him to
achieve what he considers notoriety,
was held up by negro dressed in the
garb of a female about 1920 O'Clock last
night, but before the robber could es-
cape with his spoils he was knocked
down by his intended victim and the
goods recovered from him.
THE attempted robbery occurred near
the corner of Platinum and Main streets
while the man was on his way home.
The negro first dealt him a blow, and
then took from his victims hip pocket
a purse containing $3.50. By the time
the darkey got the purse the man had
recovered from the surprise, and before
the coon could make his getaway a blow
caught him on the jaw and he went
down. The purse was then taken from
+ him.
This accomplished, the man proceeded
to give his assailant his needings, and
the latter yelled. Hold on dar, boss, OF
I'll cut your heart out!'
The robber was given a good thump.
| ing.
Logan Mcdonald of the county treas
| urer's Office denied that he had an expe.
| rience with robber. He added tina
he did not want notority.
