But Butte isn't the town to give too

Heinze. fer he appealed to its oman
tic instincts:sb U Clark and the Anal
gamated could still put up more money
on election days and in the legisla-
lures; n Heinze's fight was still an
up-hill one.
But Heinze's turn has come, appar-i

was one of@the properties in litigation.
Heinze claimed it and h eAmalgamated
claimed it. Step by step Heinze has
Won his way to control. Bribery of
courts, tampering with juries, mantp-
ulation of legislatures, has been freely
charged on both sides. There was a
very romance of corruption in connec-
ton with the first decision, by judge
Harmed, in favor of Heinze. 1t was
said that a woman whom Heirze used
as an agent induced Harmed to give the
decision to Heinze. OF course, it was
all denied.

When the Clancy decision sustained
that formerly given by Harmed and

out of Montana. It vas branded as an
outlaw. Instantly it ordered the clos

Heinze Comes Back.
Heinze, however, was ready to come
back. At first it looked as if he would
be execrated by the whole community
for plunging it into this disaster. But
he instantly announced that the forces
at all his mines would be doubled.
Every married mar thrown out of work
by the Amalgamated shutdown would
be cared for by Heinze, and a large
proportion of the unmarried men. Then
Heinze gave out a sensational inter-
view, in which he tool the hide off the

crowd, saying that there was no need
Of such an assault on the states pros
perity, and that 1t was reckless and
malicious. Public opinion at once
turned toward Heinze as the savior Of
the state.
In his statement IIei-ze brands the
action of the Amaigamated as due to
a scheme Of II. H. Rogers and Wall
street associates to job the prices of
Amalga1nated stock. The Standard

Clancy would appoint a receiver and
they have been selling stocks, expect
ing a big drop, and %rebuying at a lower
figure. Clancy's action surprised them
and the order to suspend followed.
Heinze,s Merger Comparison.
Thomas Lawson of Boston, one Of
the chief brokers of Amalgamated
stock" continued Heinze, issued q
Bulletin there yesterday stating that q
receiver would be appointed. The de-
cision came to them in the nature Of
a surprise. They had been selling
stocks, expecting a big drop in the
quotation, when they would have an
opportunity to buy back at much low
er prices what they had previously
sold. s
Onder the circumstances as they
actually occurred it became necessary
to do something that would bring
about conditions in the stock market
as nearly as possible corresponding to
what would have occurred had Judge
Clancy acted with less moderation;
and SO when MI. Rogers was advised
about the occurrences at the court
house he Immediately sent word to Mr..
Scallon to close down everything.
The provision Of Judge Clancy,s
order are nearly Identical with the Or
issued by the circuit court Of ap-
peals intiia merger ease against the
consolidation of the Northern Pacific
Railway company and the Great
Northern Railway company. These
twofrailroads have as much reason to
stop running trains, both passenger
and freight, as the Boston and Nom
tana, Anaconda, Colorado and other
Amalgamated companies have to stop
mining"
