Injunction ViOlator Sentenced.

PRESCOTT, August 3l.-Judge Sloan
to-day sentenced NJ. J. Connolly to six
months in the coLnty Jail for cOntem pit
of court for the violation of an iniunc-
tion which was in favor of :he Cham
piOn mine against the Western Feder-
alton of Miners and f. F. Starr and
Hugh Burns and any other individual,
union or nOn-union, from interfering
with the operations of certain mining
companies in this vicinity. Henry
Pitts, who was arrested with Connolly,
for violation of the courts order was
discharged. The evidence was clearly
against Connolly. and an attempt was
made to establish an insanity plea in
favor of Connolly, an admission in fact
that he was guilty. Pitts was under
$1,000 bond for participation in a SINH
lar transaction OF some weeks ago at
the Poland, when he threatened the
life of an employee of the Poland com
pany. No evidence was introduced
in the cases to-day that associates the
miners union with this trouble, and
nothing was shown that either of the
men were identified with these Organi-
cations. The evidence did show. how
ever, that the men tried were liberal
in the use of language, and that Con-
molly at least defed the Injunction or
der. specifically mentioning officials Of
this county in an open and defiant
manner. The general supposition is
