The old man was found at o'clock this
morning. While bound he watched the
convlcts for two hours, heard part Of their
conversation, and knows they are the men
wanted.
A posse headed by Calvin McClelland
has organized at Olympia and started after
the convicts who are now thought TO be

FRANKLIN FARRELL AND ASSOCIATES
WILL ERECT BIG PLANT WITH
BRANCH RAILWAY.
PETITION FILED WITH
THE COUNTY OFFICIALS
Operators Have Been Developing Mines
in Vicinity for Year and Hail.
Right Of Way Along Cedar Street
Asked-Operators Developing Several
Mines in East Butte.

Butte is going to have another smelter
and il will not be an insignificant one. 1t
is to be erected by Franklin Farrell and
his Eastern associates, who have been de-
veloping mining ground in East Butte dur
ing the last year and half.
The preliminary steps toward building
the plant are already under way. Today
the. county commissioners received from
II. ]. Horn superintendent Of the Mon
tana division of the Northern Pacific, a
petition for a right of way along Cedar
street in the East Butte addition, which
is near the mines of the Farrell syndicate.
Before taking action on the matter the
commissioners paid the addition visit
and will pass upon the petition later.
The proposed right of way is for use in
connection with the new smelter, which is
to be built on Farrell property right near
the mines. To successfully work the mines
and the proposed new works, it is neces-
sary to have railroad connections with
both in order that fuel may be obtained
and the product of the smelter hauled
away.
The proposed line of road is to be a
branch of the main line and will be built
as soon as the commissioners grant the Pc
tition Of Mr.. Horn.

UNION MACH|N|STS
MAKE A STATEMENT
ADMIT THAT THE UNION PACIFIC
PAYS THE HIGHEST SCALE OF
WAGES-NO PIECE WORK.
[BY ASSOCIATED pRrss.l

Omaha, Neb., July a.--Thomas L. Will
son, vice president of the Machinists
union, today made statement to the
public in answer to that issued by Prcsi-
dent Burt of the Union Pacific railroad
touching the merits of the strike OH that
road.
Mr.. Wilson admits the road has been
paying the highest scale of wages during
the past but says other roads raised the
scale of wages on July and the de-
mands of the Union Pacific machinsts
were strictly in line with the general
movement of all mechanics to get a fair
share of the existing prosperity in the
United States and to which they are justly
entitled.
On the refusal of the machinists to ac-
cept piece work, Mr.. Wilson says the
machinists are not to be compared with
trainmen, who do not come into COM
petition with each other. He says such
a system would tend to bring them into
competition with sweatshop workmen and
prevent them from treating as body with
the company. He sums up as follows:
II do not hesitate to most emphatical-
ly say that this trouble was brought about
by the arbitrary actions of the Union
Pacific road. They wanted the strike;
they got it, and are apparently glad of
it. Since we are forced to it we will see
that the mems demands are granted or
we will go down to defeat like one man."

spread upon the record the ludicrous and
monstrous charge which not only involves

Nothing in this report or the facts de

JoHu WooiDSdtSIy oHC VI tHC piopo-
nents of the Lippincott- Woolbeater will,
was subjected to rigid cross-examination
this morning by Attorney c. r. Kelley for
the state in the Colbert will contest trial
in Judge Clancy's court.
Chief among the things developed by the
cross-examination was the fact that Wool
beater could not remember great many
incidents which may have occurred during
the week OF Colbert's death and the week
following.
In the redirect examination of Wool
beater by Attorney Roote, one OF his coun-
sci, he denied the charge that he forged
the name Of Colbert to the will which he
and Judge Lippincott are seeking to have
probated. Said Mr.. Roote, very solemnly:
Here is the will of the late Charles
Colbert. Kindly examine it,"
Woolbeater took the glass case in which
the will was spread out and looked at it
through his spectacles.
Charged With Forgery.
Said Mr.. Roote again with equal solem-
nifty:
"Mr. Woolbeater, you have been charged
to that paper. Did you or did you not do
that7"
Woolbeatcr replied with a solemnity
that rivaled Mr. Roote's:
II did not write Charles Colbert's name
on that paper"
At the opening of the cross-examina-
tion Woolbeater testified that he went to
Colbert's cabin the afternoon the latter
died, about IS minutes after Hofreuter
and Wegner left.
Was it not half an hour afterwards 7"
Mr.. Kelley asked.
The witness finally admitted that it
probably was a half an hour afterward.
Hs saw Hofreuter, Wcgner and Lippin-
colt leave Colbert's cabin and he talked
with Colbert when he went there.
What was said between you and Col
bert" the attorney asked.
He talked about his health. He said
he was feeling better" Woolbeater replied.
"What did you say?"
Il said was glad of it,
Colbert Mentioned No Will.
"And Colbert never mentioned the fact
to you that he made will?"

"Dr. Moore"
Was With Colbert Often.
Woolbeater said he did not remember
seeing Mrs. Kriser at his own cabin on the
nth when he was making broth there. He
said he was with Colbert every day in the
week that the other died, and that Colbert
talked naturally and was in better health
on Monday than he had been heretofore.
Many things, but nothing of Importance,
were discussed by them during the early
days of the week before Colbert died.
