Helena, July aT.-No work can be done
in the Minnie Healy mine pending the
appeal now in the supreme court.
In an opinion, written by Chief Justice
Brantly, Miles Finlen is granted the in
junction applied for on the ground that
Heinze and his employees were engaged in
destroying the mine and at the same time
taking out large quantities of ore.
The opinion, in which all the justices
concur, says that the plaintiff is entitled
to an order for almost every reason, in
that he would lose his case even if final
decision was in his favor, simply be-
cause the property would be Of no value.
The court also says that the district
court Of Silver Bow had no authority
whatever to retain jurisdiction of the case,
and that the supreme court has complete
control while appeal is pending.
Judge Brantly has this to say:

Story of How Mackay and His Partners Struck
It Rich and Their Subsequent Careers--
Came Into the Town Dead Broke

Butte is full of people who have some
time i'll their checkered careers had the
honor of meeting Mr.. Mackay, this city
being the Mecca of Nevadans and Com
stockers who lived in the Sagebrush state
and on the famous lode in the days when
Mackay was one of the most prominent
figures there.
All kinds of recollections OF Mackay
and countless tales of his rise in life are
met with among the ex-Nevadans. Mackay
was the most silent of the four men who
discovered. developed and shared the
fruits of the big Bonanza which was a
body of ore that yielded sos, 1000 900 and
made Mackay, Fair, Flood and O'Brien
multi-millionaires.
Came in on Foot.
1t was commonly said on the Comstocl
that Mackay came into town some time in
the early sixties over THE Grade carry
ing his blankets over his shoulders and a
belt around his waist which contained
$4,000 in it, his entire fortune at that time.

Baltimore, July 2I.--The tornado which
struck Baltimore yesterday afternoon, in
volving the loss of IL lives and a wide
spread destruction of property, was the
severest that has been known in this
latitude TOR ~ years. No storm had
been forecast. Almost without mo-
ments warning an irresistible wind, ap-
parently III the nature OF a whrlwnd
came up from the southwest and in an
instant the waters Of the harbor were con-
verted into seething cauldron. Frail
boats were capsized while the staunchest
vessels ut anchor were violently rocked
careful estimate today shows that 200
houses were unroofed during the storm.
The roof of the William Street Independ-
ent Methodist church was lifted high In
the air and blown over the roofs of other
houses, distance of $50 feet. The stone
spire of the Holy Cross Catholic church
was hurled to the ground. A part of the
roof of the Trinity Protestant Episcopal
church was torn off, while the historic
steeple of ST. Mary's Star of the Sea
Catholic church was completely destroyed,
The public squares and parks were dam
aged badly. Patterson park is scene of
desolaton. The whole extent of these
pleasure grounds is strewn with broken
branches and uprooted trees, and the debris
completely chokes up the drivcways
Many handsome trees in Franklin
square and Druid Hill park, as well as the
shade trees, were uprooted bodily, falling
across thoroughfares and temporarily
choking them. Much damage was done to
house fronts in all sections Of the city by
falling trees.
In the business section, numerous plate
glass windows were blown in, while the
telegraph and telephone service was badly
crippled.
