The Shut Down in Montana.

Senator Clark and Manager Heinze
have been for a long time in litigation
over their mining interests in Butte,
Montana, and as the result of recent
decision by the court all the great cop
per mines of Butte, Montana, are closed
down. This it is said throws $1,000 men
out of employment and is hard blow
on the city of Butte, and in fact will be
seriously felt all over the state of Mon
tana. It is uncertain when work will
again be resumed at the mines, and the
miners and their families will scatter to
the other mining camps of the west,
many of whom will come to the Black
Hills.
Later-Since writing the above we are
receipt Of news from Montana which
may mitigate, if it does not wholly settle
the trouble. United States Senator
William A. Clark and other wealthy
men offered yesterday afternoon reso-
luton presented to a mass meeting Of
the Butte Miners Union to buy stock in
the Boston & Montana company held by
McGinnis, and to settle the trouble that
resulted in shut down of properties Of
the Amalgamated Copper company. The
offer was approved and formal propo-
sition will be made to McGinnis. The
greatest excitement followed the an
nocncennent of the proposition and later
the miners crowded the streets awaiting

are made double thickness of plank and
are warm and comfortable. There are
also two log houses, one of which is oc-
cupied by Supt. Isaac Downing, where
he has fitted up elegant bachelors quar-
ters, and always has box of good cigars
on the shelf to treat his friends. There
is also store house 16 by so feet near
the mill, and company house and Of.
fee will be soon completed for the accom-.
mediation of the officers and directors OF
the company, and their friends, when
they desire to visit the mine. In all the
management are prepared to house and
otherwise take care of As men, and some
more should circumstances require it.
Before concluding our write up we
wish to extend our thanks to the ladies
Of the house for the pleasant manner in
which we were fed and entertained. Also
to Manager j. N. Wright, Supt. Downing
and Mr.. A. L. Ozman, the mill builder,
for their courtesy and pains in answer
ing all our questions and their readiness
to impart all information required. We
feel impressed to give special word of
commendation to Mr.. Oman, and his
very competent assistants for the sup
erior workmanship and the speed with
which they have performed the work.
This was of course largely augmented by
the foresight of Mr.. Wright in having
everything at hand, 30 that there should
be nothing to delay the construction of
the plant. The lumber was all sawed on
the ground from the timber which grew
on the property, which altogether will
amount to about 100000 feet of lumber,
besides considerable amount of timber
for the mine. The officers in charge
have perfect confidence in the success of
the enterprise, and we see no reason why
q large and profitable mining business
should not be built up by the Extreme
Mining company on their property which
will be source of great profit to them
and a pride to our district.

most conservative of mining men. Over
100000 has been spent in develop
ments on the various properties, and
eleven mills have been built at cost of
not less than $l,000,000, during the per-

Takes Wife From Bawdy House,


The following dispatch from Council
Bluffs, Iowa, dated October 18th, refers
to DR.. Oliver Fisher, who was for q
number of years a practicing physician
in this city:
After search throughout the city, DR..
Oliver Fisher, a practicing physician Of
Sloan, discovered the woman he intend
ed to marry in a resort of i'll repute, and
rescuing her from her immoral surround
ings, was married to her later by Justice
George Carson. After the wedding the
couple went directly to Sloan, where the
husband is we'll known practicing ply
sician. He is a graduate of the medical
department of the university of Iowa,
and member of the class of 1888. The
ceremony was the elimination of an old
love affair in which prominently figured
a disappointed lover and a wayward wo-
man. The groom in explaining his ac-
tions to the officiating justice, stated that
the young womans parents are respect
able residents of Woodbury. county and
that she will be received with open arms
by her family. According to the state
ments given at the time of the wedding
the marriage was the fifth matrimonial
experience .or the groom. The bride
gave her address as San Francisco and
her birthplace as Knoxville, Ia. Hel
relatives all live in Iowa and it is SAID
she has always resided in this state
James Z. CLANCY, the husband of Nellie
Davidson, the mistress of the resor
where the bride has been spending sew
eral months, went with the couple to the
court house to secure the marriage Ii
cense. He also served as witness tc
the ceremony.

There is an uneasy feeling in the fin

CAT FOSTERS WOLF cUB..

wolf, SO the remaining animal was
carried home and placed in Tabby's
nest along with the black kitten. The
motherly animal at once began to lick
the doggish little brute and the latter
suckled at her breast as il he belonged
to the cat family. The black kitten
also took up with the stranger, wres-
tied with him at meal time and played
with him as if he were his brother.
The kitten is older than the wolf,
has his eyes open. while the "blinkers"
in the little round head of the wolf
are still sealed. The kitten thus has
the advantage of the wolf in feeding,
but when the latter fails to fully APP
pease his hunger he sets up a snarling
and wailing that quickly brings ono
of the Blanchard children. A nurs-
ing bottle is then produced, the whelp
is given hold of the nipple and he
keeps IL until the bottle Is empty.
This is the regular season for catch
ing and killing Illinois wolves; and
although IL is not generally known
that many of the gray fellows are left
to tell the story of pioneer times the
county clerks count good many
scalps and pay out a considerable sum
in bounties. The usual price is ono
dollar scalp for the young, while
ten dollars is paid for the scalp of an
old she wolf.
The old wolves generally know when
their dens are being robbed of their
young and set up dismal howl that
may be heard many miles. The night
Is made hideous with their barking
and wailing, the mother making
fruitless search Gor the young that
have been taken from her.
A man who lives within an hours
ride of Chicago has successfully raised
and tanned black timber wolf. The
animal was the only one of three that
were caught at the same time that
could be tanned. The owner taught
him to do all kinds of tricks and the
wolf now hunts foxes for his master,
distinguishes coins, rides n horse with
the bride rein In his mouth, distrib-
utes handbills and does many other
interesting things. The owner called
him Teddy and wanted to give him to
the president, but Mr.. Roosevelt de-
clined the gift.-Chicago Daily News.
