WALL STREET AND STRIKE
Henry Clcws Says the Coal Troubles
Were Discounted.
lny ASSOCIATED PRESS. /


New York May ao.--lIenry Clcws says
of Wall street and the strike: "Spccula-
ton on the stock exchange has been
checked by tight money and the coal strike.
There has been no deep seated fear con
cerning the latter because il is not thought
the miners have a good case. They are
generally well paid and comfortably sit
uatcd-conditon not favorable io long
drawn-out contest, especially when the
operators are not insisting upon nnreaSon-
able terms With the strike eliminated
as a factor we ought to have a more acs
tive market There are no serious danger
spots in sight and prices have Shown "A
resistance to bad news that will tend To
the market after the crops are assured
and the coal strike ended.
"A coal labor war has just commenced
and is not likely to end until il becomes
a bore to the strikers, and that may not
be for some time TO come
"As an offset, however, 10 this unfor-
tunate outcome Of the recent negotiations
between the coal representatives and the
miners the good news comes from Europe
this morning that the Boer war in South
Africa is about 10 come 10 n close.
"This is more important in its influence
to the world at large, as il has TO do with
the bloody slaughter Of the human race,
while the other has no such possibility
The prospect Of coal war has been
hanging over the market for some time
therefore much Of its effect has been dis
counted in advance"

FORTUNE FOR AUTOMOBILE.
New York Herald \


Seventeen thousand dollars is a new
high water mark as the purchase price Of
an automobile in this country. Seven
months ago a record was established when
w. I. Greene, copper king of Arizona
and New York, gave $ S, 900 for a 4o-horse
power Panhard-Leyassor tonneau carriage.
A few months later these figures were
raised by 81 900 for an exactly similar We
hiclc of the same make, the purchaser being
an enthusiastic automobilist of this city. =
Edward b, Thomas, member of the
New York stock exchange, is credited with
making the second raise Of S 900, and the
sion at the new record price is also a
French-bui1t Panhard -Leyassor of 40 o-horsc.
power. sH
The carriage has been prominent in sew
eral club runs, where its massive ap-'
pearance has commanded attention. Mr..
Thomas was one of many who became i'm,
pressed with it, and a private trial over a
measured mile on suburban road in a
fraction better than 50 seconds finally in
duced him to become the possessor of it.
This is Mr.. Thomas second purchase
Of fast automobiles. He bought last fall
from w. x. Vanderbilt Jr. the latter's
Mercedes machine, which had won fame
as the White Ghost. This he sold re-
$4,000. 1t had been stated that Mr..
Thomas desired to purchase the White
Ghost, but the recent transaction would in
dicatc that the former Vanderbilt racer will
remain in the West.
Mr.. Thomas said that he had no inten-
ton of using his new Pantard for speeding
or racing He simply desired a vehicle
that could carry heavy loads and climb hills
easily.

NEGRO is CHARGED WITH HAVING
ACCEPTED EIGHT HUNDRED DOL
LARS STOLEN MONEY.
KATIE SULLIVAN GAVE
FACTS TO THE OFFICERS
Money Was Stolen by the Woman
Fisher Promised to Help Her If She
Do-Then She Turned Against Him
His Arrest at Dillon.
ESPECIAL 10 INTER MoUNTAIN.l

Anaconda, May 2o.-Good progress was
made today with the trial of NJ. L.
Fisher, colored, in the district court. A
jury was secured yesterday afternoon and
the examination Of witnesses begun.
Fisher is charged with having accepted
money to the amount Of $500. which he
was well aware was stolen by Katie Sui
1ivan, woman Of the outer world, from
a man named Maxim Lcgault
The Sullivan woman after being SEN
fenced to the penitentiary confessed to
having taken the money and at the same
nime implicated Fisher in the affair,
aaiming that the cash had been turned
over to him for safe keeping.
The woman also declared that when she
gave Fisher the package the understand
ing was that he was to assist her in case
she got into trouble
This she claims, her negro pal failed
to do so she called the officers into her
cell and told the whole story of the,
theft.
Fisher was then in Dillon and no time
was lost in placing him under arrest.
County Attorney Duffy is prosecuting
the case and ]. X. Boarman and Ed Booth,
the latter of Butte, are acting as counsel
for the defense.
The greater part of the morning was
taken up in hearing the testimony of Will
lam Jenkins, who was arrested by Officer
Powers at the same time Kate Sullivan
was arrested for the robbery.
His testimony was to the effect that,
after he had been released from jail the
Sullivan woman sent him to Fisher to get
the money she had given him or else bring
it to her in person. Jenkins said this
errand was performed four times, but with
out effect. Fisher, he said, admitted hav-
ing the money and said he would give it
to Kate Sullivan when she got out, that
he would not eiltrust it TO any one else.
Jenkins affirmed that Fisher remarked
that he knew the money was stolen and
that the woman did not dare make any
effort to recover it, that she would have
to make the best Of bad job.

Not Yet Eighteen, But Has a Good

Probably the youngest man to wear the
stripes OF a corporal in the United States
army is Corporal Andrew Casper Jr., of
Fort McHenry. Corporal Casper will be
10 years of age next July, and despite
his youth has been within a few days of
year and half service in the army He
enlisted in Boston, Mass, October 10, 1000,
and was made corporal February I3 last.
He was at first assigned to the Forty
seventh Coast artillery, and stationed at
Fort Hunt, Va, where he remained until
the II3th was organized a few months
ago, when he was assigned to that and
brought to Fort McHenry One of his
comrades said that he was one of FIVE
men to pass in 1900 who took the cx-
aminations Tor promotion in February.
The young corporal was asked how he
managed to get in the ranks at the early
age of TO- and replied:
said | was I8," with the promptness
which stopped argument right there. He
is a son Of Andrew Casper, surgical
instrument maker in Boston, and left
school to don the blue. n
All the men OF the fort divide off into
pairs, and casper's 'pardn is a young
lrishman by. the name OF Patrick Dillon,
who enlisted at the same time and the
same place as Casper. Since their en-
listment they have been the most in
separable friends despite the fact that

Tor misconduct against him-and the Irish
man has his countryman's faculty for get
ting into trouble The two make a pic
turesque pair, especially when they are

Dillon has a wiry figure Of about five
feet six, complexion and hair rivaling one
another for carroty hue and habit
of spreading his feet wide apart as he
stands. Casper is little taller, but very
heavy for one Of his age, and has blonde
hair and blue eyes.
