WON'T Sell STOCK TO MINERS.
THAT PLAN TO SETTLE MONTANA
COPPER WAR FANS.


BUTTE, Mon, Oct. 25.-John Mactiinniss,
plaintiff in the injunction suit against the
Amalsams.ed Copper Company, whose
action and the decision Of Judge clancy
resulted In the suspension OF operations
in all of the Amalgamated properties in
the State, left Montana last night to avoid
meeting committee of the miners union,
who wanted to purchase his stock IL
developed that he left the city in closed
carriage AS soon az information reached
him that the committee had started to call
on him, and he boarded the Oregon Short
Line train six miles out Of the city, going
south
+. A. Heinze is still in the city. and in ar
interview this morning he said that Mr..
Mac(iinniss had left because he was afraid
of personal violence as the newspapers
and large interests in the town are doing
everything they can OF most inTamma-
tory nature TO cause trouble and incte
riot during the present heated period
The miners union offered MacGinniss
$500 share for his Boston and Montana
and 500 for his PARROT stock, but Heinze
intimates that it cannot be purchased at
those pricer~ as the ofieris declared to he
less than $50 per cent. Of what had been
offered fdf the same stock in 1890 and many
times since then. Heinze suggests that
if the miners want to compromise and
settle the injunction matter they should
include in their good offices the entire
controversy between himself and the Anal
gsmated company. Upon this subject he
says:
a number of times during the past
three or four years have asked Mr. Rogers
TO submit the entire controversy between
us TO a board of engineers as disinterested
arbitrator, and in each instance l have
been met by condition that l must leave
here defeated and cease to operate in the
Butte camp. it would not have been posi-
BILE for me in the past 70 make the fight
which have made il the miners OF Butte
had not stood by me.
Il believe have stood by them faithfully
and propose to continue so. am willing
to fight Mr.. Rogers and the Standard OIL
Company and all the bond clippers of Wall
Street, but if the miners Of Butte wish me
10 retire from the field must. i can, with
enough money 10 satisfy all my wants,
but I should hate TO leave the miners OF
Butte 10 the tender mercies Of gentlemen
in New York who say to the miners and
smeltermen of Colorado, This il fight
to finish and there will be no compromise"
Mr. Heinze also proposes to have his
! miners agree to work only half time and
give the other half to the married men with
| families who have been laid on by the
Amalgamated Judge Clancy. who has
| come in for an equal share with Heinze
and MacGinniss in the general denuncia-
| ton, expected 10 leave last night on hunt
| ing trip in the western part of the State.
| The Miners Union committee ATTEMPTED
to intercept him at the station at mid,
night and urge him to remain ~ town and
| attend 70 the matter OF appeal which the
Amalgamated attorneys desired to perfect
| Judge Clancy heard OF the movement
and became afraid. He remained at home
and called for protection. Several police
men and Heinzes private detectives guarded
| lis residence all night while the Judge
WAS sent to him that no harm was meant
him and that the committee merely desired
| to have a friendly conference with him,
which lie finally granted. He was asked
| in the interest of the city and State and
1900 idle men TO forego his hunting trip
in his court, looking toward settlement
| Of the injunction. He consented to do so.
The pet ion Of the miners to Gov. ToOle
| asking for an extra session OF the Legis-
| lature, has not yet reached the Governor,
| He il quoted as saying that he did not ca re
! the petition and given it confederation.
| HELENA. Mon, Oct 25.--Judge Clancy
was hanged in efigy at Great Falls last
night In that city more than 1000 men
will Ike thrown out OF work by the closing
down Of the Boston and Montana smelt-
| ers.
The Business Mems Association has
suggested that a committee OF prominent
| citizens OF the State be selected to arbi-
trate the case and let work proceed in the
meant ime Senators Clark and Gibson
have signified their willingness to accept
but IL Ia not believed thai Heinze will fall
| in with the proposition.
