The story of the life OF +. Augustui
tfctnze. the young New York engineer
who came out to Butte ten years ago
and the way In which he has beaten
the richest combination Of capital In
the world. reads like a fairy tale. The
papers are full OF the remarkable sit
nation which exists In Montana today
and which has been precipitated by
this man OF iron nerve and indomi-
table determination.
A little over ten years ago he gradu-
ated from the engineering department
ofColnmbia university and went out to
Butte. He secured a five dollar a day
Job and for two years went down into
the mine at Z o'clock and came out
at 8. He learned all he could In that
time about copper. Then he went
over TO Germany and spent two more
years Ia the best school OF mineralogy.
Returning to New York, he per-
suaded his lawyer brother to go out to
Montana with him And then trouble
began to brew. Heinze had enough
money % lease q small property. II
made money rapidly and he leased an
other and another. In the meantime
he had gotten up to his neck IN litiga
tion. Butte mountain was covered with
crossed and c~riss.crossed claims.
While i. Augustus mined, his broth ar !
investigated titles and records |
which were found to be In hopeless
Suit after suit was brought on one
after another and Heinze al. |
won. At n time he had sixty |
cases In the various courts Of the
state.
Finally he began war on the Anal. |
gamated Copper company, controlled
BY the Standard Oh magnates. He
has a copper claim lying between two
their biggest mines. He contend.

vein into their Mines Litigation arose.

There is to be raise of twenty five
cents per ton on coal freight tariffs.
Tne railroads saw that they must raise
the rate in order to cover increased
operating expenses. 1t is not known
whether the tariff will be applied to
roads shipping coal in the state, but
to coal hauled into Kansas and Ne
braska the extra twenty five cents per
ton will be added. The people of
course will pay this extra freight tar
iff. the producers simply taxing the
extra twenty five cents to the cost of
the coal. And what will be the re-
suit? Nothing right now. But it is
another link which has been forged
around the neuks of the people by the
railroads. When the time comes for
the people to have an inning against
the roads. the latter will wish they
had reduced the tariff. instead of in
creasing it. when there was really no
absolute necessity. save a desire to in
crease profits by cinching the public.

Shot i'm knee.

There was shooting last night at
Palisade in which Joe Patrick, an
Austrian miner was shot in the knee,
the bullet passing through partition
before hitting Patrick.
1t appears that three Austrian min
ers, working in the mines at Palisade
came to Grand Junction yesterday.
While they were here they boozed up
pretty we'll.
They went home in that condition
and fight occurred between these
three Austrians and man by the
name of Joe Erlach. who is peg leg.
Erlach and the three Austrians
agreed before the latter came to
Grand Junction that they whould leave
the mine at Palisade and go to Cameo
to work. While the three were in
this city Erlach gave up his positio on,
but when the Austrians returned they
refused to keep their agreement with
Erlach This led to quarrel and to
the shooting of Patrick from one room
where Erlaoh was into anohter room
where Patrick and the other two Aus.

Erlach was arrested on the charge
of assault and battery. The trial
