Struck,

Why Men at Columbus Quarry Have
Struck.
Columbus has a real strike on hand.
1t commenced Saturday morning, on
account OF the discharge of VIM.
Horsewood by VIM. H. Hamilton, the
manager. Mr.. Horsewood is a planer-
man, and has been employed at the
quarry for quite a long time, says the
I'ri-County News. Mr.. Hamilton re-
quested him to lift a rock, and he re-
fused, for which he was discharged.
All the men say that there were men
to lift the stone, and machinery to do.
it IL the stone was too heavy for lift
ing by hand; also that it was not the
place of the planer-men to lift stone,
and they had never been asked to do
such a thing before.
The two men went into the Office,
where Mr.. Hamilton is said to have
raised a chair to strike MI. Horse
wood, but he prevented him from do
ing SO. This aroused great indigna-
ton on the part ct the men, and with
in four minutes every man had struck
and the machinery was closed down.
This was at 10 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, and not a tool has been raised
by the employees since. They have
but one request to make of the quarry
management, and that is that Mr.
Hamilton be discharged. They de-
clare they will never work under him
again.
There is NO dissatisfaction with NJ.
A. Jacobs. the foreman, and all the
men are anxious to have him retain
ed in charge.

THE SCHOOL RIOTS.
french Government Is Embarrassed
by Situation in Brittany.

french Government Is Embarrassed
by Situation in Brittany. Y.
Paris, Aug. 15.-The announcement
made after yesterdays cabinet meet
ing that the royalists are directing
the agitation against the closing of
religious schools in Brittany have
evoked considerable comment. . Cath
Ollie leaders and the Catholic press
deny that the movement is anti-re-
publican. Count Albert de Nun, who
with Able Cayraud, is the guiding
spirit of the resistance in Finisterre,
declares that the movement is entire
ly spontaneous on the part of the
people themselves and that not an
act or shot has occurred in Brittany
to justify the allegation that a royal
list conspiracy exists.
Count de Nun says the Marsellaise
is being sung and that it is evident
that the government is embarrassed
by the situation and has invented
the royalist scare in order to create
a diversion. Francois Cope in an
interview expressed a similar opinion
in more violent and picturesque Ian
guage. The Patrie says it is rumored
that the government intended to ar
rest the royalist senator from Fin
%isterre, M. de Chamaillard. The sit
uatlon at st. Neon and Folgoet re-
mains unchanged. An important pill
gramage to Folgoet took place today,
on the occasion Of the feast of the
Assumption, $4,000 people gathering
from the surrounding country. Ad-
miral de Cuverille, Able Gayraud,
who is a member of the chamber of
deputies, and Councillor Soubigon
have addressed a protest to the pre-
mier, M. Combes, on account of the
allegations of royalism, saying:
"V'e protest against the attempt
to i've a political character to the
q constructions of indignant public
: A~science. While applauding the
l Ultimate protests of the population,
who are grateful to the sisters, we
shall continue to strive to prevent
acts of violence. Long live the lib

we'll.
Little Joe Shadwell, whose mother
resides in this city, continues to be
the subject of litigation in the courts
Of Butte because of the determination
Of his grandmother, Mrs. w. G. Crit
fin, to obtain legal possession OF him.
Although twice defeated, Mrs. Crit
fin has, not yet abandoned the strug-
gle and the case promises to be long
drawn out, whatever the final outcome
may be.
It will be remembered that a short
time ago The Gazette contained an
account, taken from the Butte papers,
of the kidnapping of the boy, who
was stolen from his grandmother by
a woman who appeared in front of
Mrs. Griffin's home and placing the
child in a buggy drove off with him.
This took place while a petition for
an order of adoption, filed by Mrs.
Griffin, was pending in the district
court of Silver Bow county. 1t sub
sequently developed that the strange
woman was the boys mother and
that she brought him to this city
Yesterday the hearing on the petit
ton was held and the prayer of Mrs.
Griffin was denied. The only ques-
ton raised was whether Mrs. Shad-
we'll, or as she is now known, Mrs.
Dalton, abandoned and deserted the
child. This the court held the evil
dence did not show. Mrs. Griffin tes-
titled that the child was now almost
10 years old and from his birth was
sickly and continued SO until he was
a few months old, when his parents
brought him to her and she had con-
tinued to keep and care for him I'M
til he raj taken from her, a few
weeks ago; that his parents had not
contributed to his support, the bur-
den of his care and maintenance hav-
ing devolved upon her. She produc-
ed a number Of letters from the boys
+- >R
mother in which she said the grand
mother might keep him.
The mother admitted that Mrs.
had done much for the boy,
but denied that she had ever abandon
ed him, saying that she had never
had a permanent home since she left
him with his grandmother until quite
recently. She produced receipts show
ing that she had within a recent Pc
Rod paid money for the support of
the boy. Asked if it was her inten-
ton to take the boy to her home, she
said she had sent him to Omaha to
be cared for by a sister. In contra
diction Of this it was subsequently as
that the boy was in Silver Bow
1t is said that Mrs. Griffin does not
propose to let the matter drop, but
that she will file another petition and
other allegations than those of
desertion will be made against the
mother of the boy.

Because of the distance Intervening
and the consequent high freight rates
1t is not very likely that the new de-
mand for the article will prove Of i'm
mediate benefit to the owners OF lig-
mite deposits in eastern Montana, but
the fact that there has sprung
up a growing demand for their pro-
duct s encouraging and may be TAX
en- as showing what the future has
in store for them. The strike Of the
miners in the coal fields of Pennsyl-
vania is the u of a marked scare
ity of hard, coal in what may be des-
ignated as the middle northwest and
the people who have been accustomed
to using that kind of fuel have be-
gun to look elsewhere for what they
need to keep them warm during the
long winter that is coming and also
to cook the food they eat. This is
especially applicable to Minnesota
and the eastern portions of the two
Dakotas. u
According to a recent arrival from
st. Paul there is every indication that
this winter will witness an immense
consumption of Ignite. Hard coal
has assumed prices that are prohibit
tive to all except the rich and they
are beginning to grumble and growl
at the prospects of the big coal bills
they will have to foot before next
spring. Only a very little Pennsyl-
vania coal is in the hands of the deal
ers and many of them are refusing
to sell even at the present high fig
ures they are onered. Stove deal
ers are becoming alarmed at the poor
prospects of getting rid of the stocks
of hard coal stoves they have laid in
and are wondering how they are go
ing to get rid of them. Others who
have not yet received their supplies
have cancelled their orders and in
stead have substituted orders for
Ignite burners. Becausesi it is cheap
err and easy to be had, many people
of Minnesota and eastern Dakota r
preparing to burn Ignite this winter.
While not the equal of the coal which
they formerly used, it is safe to as
sumo that many will continue to Use
Ignite after the causes which have
compelled it's primal use shall have
passed, as it is much cheaper and al
most as good.
At all events, according to The Ga
zette's informant, the manufacturers
of Ignite burners are m%anifesting un-
usual activity and many OF their
stoves are to be seen in stock and in
use, having displaced the other kind.
In the Red River valley the principal
fuel this winter promises to be Ignite
and the same may be said Of other
parts of Dakota and portions Of Min
nesota.
With this unusual and growing de-
mand for Ignite it is within the pos
sibilities that the time is not far dis
tant when other than local use will
be made of the immense deposits of
that fuel which underlie an immense
area in the eastern part of the state.
Stranger things have. happened.

San Francisco, Jan. 2s.-Harry Lewis,

days dazzled local race track circles, is
missing and many mourn his departure,
which was very sudden He left last
night for Chicago, WEIGHING about
S32. 600 of bets and leaving many cred
itors.
Lewis yesterday gave a bad check to
George Rose. and the other bOokmak-
ers being warned, only one or two ac-

coin. He tried to place $1,000 on Lass
of Langdon' at New Orleans, but the
bank on which he drew a check re-
turned the answer he had no funds.
Then Lewis left the track, but it
was known only to few that he had
borrowed several good sized sums,
pawned jeWelry. and after clearing up
quite a sum, left on the Santa Fe over
land for Chicago. He even took back
diamonds he had given to the woman
who was living with him. 1t now turns
out that he had no money, but won a
large sum on Maresa and on the
strength Of this set up as plunger.
