WILL EXPEDITE APPEAL.
JUDGE CLANCY TO DO ALL IN
 HIS POWER.
Movement Started to Get Prominent Men to Mediate Between the Warning Montana Copper Interests With a View to Keeping Open the Mines Butte Carefully Guarded 10 Prevent Any Outbreak. '

Butte, Mont, Oct. 25.-The most inn portant development in the copper war situation to-day was the statement Of Judge William Clancy that he will not leave the city but will do all he can to expedite the appeal from his de- cision to the supreme court. The fact that number of armed men were around the depot last night when it was reported the judge intended leaving the city, caused Mayor Mullins. to take extra precautions looking to the per sonal protection of Judge Clancy. Ev- cry corner in the city is being guarded closely and a number of special police men have been impressed into service. All Saturday night four policemen guarded the home of Judge Clancy and the home of Judge Harney.
 1. Mayor Mullins said to-day that he would employ 800 special policemen if he found that the situation warranted. While there have been no unusual demonstrations, the mayor says he will take every precaution to prevent any thing that might incite disorder,
 The city tonight is quiet though thronged with idle crowds. The an- nouncement of Judge Clancy's abandon ment of his hunting trip has apparent ly had a soothing influence. Indigna- tion is still rife over the departure from the city of John MacGinnis.
 Late last night an effigy of Judge Clancy was discovered hanging in one of the principal streets of Great Falls, where the big electrolytic smelters of the Boston and Montana company are located.
 Last evening telegrams were sent from Great Falls to Senator w. A Clark in this city, Governor J. K Toole at Helena, Representative Dixon at Watson and President J. J. Hill, of the Great Northern, asking each of them if they would act with the other gentle- men named and Senator Gibson in an effort to mediate between the warning copper interests with view to keeping open the, mines and smelters of the Amalgamated company.
 The telegrams were the outcome of consultation of the Business Mems as sociation of Great Falls. Before taking any stepsiin the matter Senator Gibson was consulted. He approved the plan and said he would be only too happy to do anything that he could in the mat ter. The idea of the citizens who initi- ated this plan was that this committee could act between the parties to the CO., operation and court in any way that they might think best as soon as they could consult with each other.
 Late last night Senator Clark was heard from in the following telegram:
 Butte October "A. Herbert Strain. President of the Busi-
 ness Mems Association, Great Falls:
 "Will be glad to act with the gentle men named and see what may be done.
 Signed: 'sW. A. Clark.
 From J. J. Hill the following message was received tonight:
 St. Paul, October 25. x Herbert Strain, Great Falls:
 Message received. Would be very much pleased to assist, but there must be indication of willingness on the part of the disputants or effort in the direc- tion proposed will accomplish nothing.
 Signed: Games Hill.''
 i ra1 St. Paul, October 25. Senator Gibson, Great Falls:
 Message received. Have received message from Herbert Strain and can only add that if I can be of any assist ance I shall be only too glad to do everything in my power to relieve situation.
 Signed: James J. Hill"
 A telegram was also received from Governor Toole signifying his inten- tions of joining in efforts to effect peace.
