Order Giving Heiuxc Permission to
Explore the Properties Is Tempo

Butte, Mont, Dec. 31.-The Anacon-
da n st. Lawrence mines, two of the
largest producers of the Amalgamated
company, have been shut down. n
cause is unknown, but it is suspected
to be an attempt to temporarily defeat
the order of the district court giving
Heirze, the Amalgamated's bitter min
ing opponent in Butte, permission to
go into the mines and make an exam-
ination of the ore bodies n veins in
the Anaconda properties. Heinze OBJ
tanned the permission from Judge
Clancy, on his re representation that as
owner of an interest in the Paramount,
a mine lying near the Anaconda, he
had reasons to suspect that h COM
pany was mining ore belonging to his
mine. The order goes into effect next
Tuesday, and, as the supreme court Is
on vacation, the Anaconda company
cannot get action on an appeal In time
to prevent Heinze men exploring the
secrets Of the Aanaconda mines. The
complete shutdown and stoppage OF
all hosting and all pumping machinery
will prevent any one from going down
ir,to the mine.

ON HER.
Duluth Woman Made an Innocent
Tool Of SmuKGlera.


Duluth, Dec. %. Among the federal
prisoners that recently escaped from the
prison at Leavenworth was one w. f.
Peaslee, and it Is just learned that he is
a prisoner of considerable interest to
Northern Minnesota people, as well rs
Texas people. In which state he was con-
victed of smuggling and sentenced to one
year and q half Imprisonment.
PeaSlee, up to q few years ago, was q
locomotive engineer in the employ OF the
Northern Pacific, and lived with his :am-
lily at Brainerd. They moved to Del Rio.
Tex, where he and his wife became quite
wealthy, smuggling Mexican ~drawnwork
and selling it in the United States. Del
Rio is close to the Mexican Dor Ter, and
Mr.. Peaslee. woh continued to follow the
occupation Of locomotive engineer. vas
engaged in running w that place
and some point in Mexico. and
Struggled the Finery
into Texas under the seat of his cab. A
~well-known Duluth woman. Mrs. D. 8.
Forgy, was imposed upon by the Peaslees,
whom she had known at Brainerd. Mrs.
Peaslee, whose part of the smuggling Cp-
erations was to dispose of the drawn
work. It Mrs. Forgy a consignment OF
it wit = request that she sell what yhe
could of it and send the balance 20 an
address which she rave of a person in
Iowa. The request was made on the
ground of old acquaintance, and Mrs.
Forgy, who is connected with the millin.
cry business in Duluth, was in a position
where she could offer it without special
effort.
Special Agent c. s. Grain II the treas
ury department came to Duluth and in
terviewed Port Collector L. M. Willcuts
about a year ago in connection with the
smuggling of Mexican drawnwork. He
said that some of the stuff had been
Traced to Duluth.
AS soon as Mr.. Willcuts heard the name
of Mrs. Forgy mentioned As having re.
ceived 1t he Immediately said there must
be some mistake. The subsequent inves.
tigation disclosed that Mrs. Peaslee had
imposed on her old acquaintance. Mrs.
Forgy was profoundly surprised, for the
Peaslees had always borne q god reputa-
ton. Mrs. Forgy in a Few days, unex.
p~ectedly, as before, received another con.
signment of the Mexican drAwnwork from
Mrs. Peaslee, which she turned over to
Port Collector Willcuts with the corre-
spondence. The Peaslees were imme-
diately arrested, n both were convicted
at Del Rio of smuggling.
Mrs. Peaslee was allowed to pay a flne
In lieu Of Imprisonment IN account Of her
children. but her husband was sent to the
federal prison at ~Leavenworth. He had
the good sense to return to the prison
after going q short distance. Mrs. Forgy
made two trips to Texas to testify for
the government against the Peaslees, but
until now nobody outside of q few of her
intimate friends knew Of her mission.
While she very naturally felt much NOR
titled to have unwittingly been made the
agency Of q smuggler, her friends con-
slider 1t a good joke at her expense and
nothing that she should taxi to heart.

puted question. Michael T. Conway

OF all the pests the city Of Whining

a disgrace to the city. They have
gotten the city in more litigations
than any other official body. Going
into the courts costs money, and as
the individual members Of Council
don't have to pay it, the city must,
and since they have been in Office,
the city has had more expense in the
way of attorneys fees, than ever in
its history. That is how they are
trying to use up the tax payers
money. They have a little power
and they have abused it and so
managed affairs that the people are
demanding change, and will have
it at the next election. 1t is no
wonder the press and the people are
