TWELVE YEARS IN HIDING.
G. A. Bennett at Last Arrested fer Extensive
Cattie Stealing.


Missoula, Mont, Jan. &c. A.
Bennett, formerly a prominent merch-
ant of this city, who for the past Ii
years has been hiding from sn indict-
ment of grand jury issued October IL,
1890, on charge of stealing cattle, was
brought last night to Missoula by the
sheriff.
The story of his downfall, 50 far rs
can be learned, is that stockmen, In
the summer of 1890, had been missing
cattle, and suspicion fell ON Bennett
and his range riders. A close watch
was kept ON them with the result that
evidence against Bennett, which was
laid before the district judge, was con-
sidered sufficient by that official to war
rant his calling grand jury to investi-
gate the matter. After a session last
ing several days, the grand jury re-
turned verdict against Bennett and
four others, charging them with steal-
ing cattle.
Bennett drove from his home direct
ly through this city to some unknown
point on the Northern Pacific, where
dressed in woman's garb, he made his
escape. The various. sheriffs of this
county since the escape have constant
ly been on the lookout for him. Some
weeks ago the sheriff located his man
at Albuquerque, N. M, and quietly
left the city for the south with all the
necessary papers for his arrest and re-
turn here.
At the time the affair became public
Bennett was operating slaughter house
and in searching the place, the grand
jury found upwards OF. 100 cattle hide
bearing the brands of several Bite,
Root stockmen hid: in the river and
buried in the ground in that vicinity

Peculiar Fight Being Made by Chicago
Coal Teamsters.

Chicago, Jan. 80. - Coal teamsters
renewed their war on big down town
buildings today. The Coal Teamster's 8
Union decided that its members should
cart no coal to buildings where gas is
used during the summer months. At
8 o'clock 100 drivers were ordered to
stop by officials of the union, and
promptly obeyed the order. President
Albert Young, of the Coal Teamsters'
Union, said:
"We have already stopped hauling
coal to the Old Colony building, the
Monadnock, the Palmer house and the
Auditorium, and before night not a
union teamster will be hauling coal to
a building that uses gas for fuel during
the summer. During the last cold
snap our men were worked to death.
Buildings that had formerly used fuel
gas found out that coal was necessary
and our men had to work day and
night, and at that time were unable to
meet the demand. Many of the regular
coal burners were compelled to wait
for coal, and suffered greatly ON ac-
count of our inability to supply the de-
mand.'
Milton Booth, secretary of the Coal
Teamsters' Union, said: --=-.
"We are not in the fight alone, but
have the support of the coal men. We
would have conducted the campaign
alone had it been necessary, but with
the aid of our employers we are in a
much better condition to conduct the
fight and it will be lively one.'
After the teamsters' boycott against
the sky scrapers had been in effect for
four hours, firemen, engineers and
elevator conductors threatened to CO.
operate with the teamsters. This af-
ternoon meeting of the prominent
coal dealers and property owners was
held, and truce was declared until
Friday. In the meantime union men
hope to influence the consumers to burn
coal the year round.

MINE DUST EXPLODED.
Disaster In lows Cost Many lvss-Sevsral
Mea Seriously Injured

Men Seriously Injured
Oskaloosa. Ia, Jan. 27.-Ths Lost
Greek coal mine was the scene today OF
q terrible disaster. which cost the lives
of 81 miners. Eight others were seri-
ously injured. The bodies of the dead
men were recovered from the mine, and
lie tonight in an improvised morgue
near the scene of their destruction.
The injured, all of whom are frightfully
cut, bruised and burned, are under the
care of surgeons in temporary hospital
equipped near the mine.
The Lost Greek mine Is 10 miles
south of Oskaloosa, and three miles
north of Eddieville. The explosion
occurred at the noon hour, and was
what is known as a dust explosion.
The miners had just fred their usual
noon shots, one of which proved to be q
fizzle, the powder flame igniting the
gas and causing the explosion. Snoke
and debris were blown out of the mine
in column 200 feet high. A part OF
the top works was torn away, and the
fans and cages were wrecked. This
made the work of rescue very slow
and it was o'clock before volunteer
forces dared to venture into the east
entry, where the explosion occurred.
The men of the rescue party fought
their way into the mine, where a
shocking sight met their gaze. The
dead and injured were terribly burned
and ,mutilated, some of them almost
beyond recognition. Beyond where the
bodies lay the fire was burning fercely
and for time it was feared the work
ings would be wholly destroyed and the
bodies incinerated. Finally, however,
the flames were subdued. The bodies
were then collected and taken to the
top of the shaft.
At time of the explosion more
than 100 men were in the mine, but all
except those in the east entry escaped
with only slight injury. The total
property loss will be about $40, 900.
Nearly all of the men were married
and leave families in poor circum-
stances.

City of Mexico, Jan. 29.-The pro-

was presented at today's session of the
Pan-American conference. Though it
has not attracted the same amount OF

to controversies involving nothing but
pecuniary claims.

CHOICE OF ROUTES.
Substitute for Nicaragua Canal Bill is Intro
duced In the Senate.

Washington, Jan. 3d. Just before
the adjournment of the senate Senator
Spooner today introduced a substitute
for the Nicaragua canal bill. The new
bill is a practical authorization to the
president of the United States to choose
between the Panama and Nicaragua
routes. The first provision looks to
the acquisition of the franchises, right
of way and other property of the new
Panama canal company of France, in
Guiding that company's control of the
Panama railroad. The president Is
authorized to pay $40, 100000 for these
"provided satisfactory title can be
obtained"
He is then authorized to secure the
necessary concessions from the republic
of Colombia, these to include the
perpetual control of 10 mile strip of
territory from the Caribbean sea to the
Pacific ocean. A canal sufficient to ac-
commodate the largest vessels is then
to be constructed, under the super
vision of the secretary of war.
The bill also carries an alternative
provision authorizing the president to
proceed with the construction of the
Nicaragua canal in case he fails to Sc
cure the necessary concessions from
Colombia or satisfactory title from the
Panama canal company.
An immediate appropriation of $lO,-
900 900 is made in either event. The
limit of cost is fixed at $135 200, 900
in case the Panama route is chosen, B,
while $3.50 900, 900 is allowed in case
the choice falls ON the. Nicaragua route.
