MAGGIE'S TONGUE GOT
HER INTO TROUBLE

The natural instinct of woman to
talk caused Maggie Smith to be fined
So in Judge Griffn's court yester-
day afternoon. Maggie was taken TO
the court room as a witness against
William Baldwin, who was charged
with fighting.
When Maggie was asked what she
knew of the case she stated that
she and Baldwin were somewhat I'M
der the influence of liquor. Before
she could be stopped she had I'M
burdened herself to such an extent
that the judge had charge of drunk
and disorderly filed against her and
imposed the fine. Maggie was like
the parrot-she talked too much.

BUTTE, Mont, July 26.-F Au-
gustus Heinze, the Copper King, -
known as the Young Napoleon OF
Montana" has probably been sued
and brought more counter suits in
the courts than any other individual
in the world. For fourteen years he
has waged legal warfare on rival
copper men and companies, and met
with phenomenal success.
Heinze's main battle of recent
times has been against the Anal
gamated Copper company, and IN
this he has received such stauncn
support from the voters of the state
that he has been a continual thorn
in the side of the great copper oc-
topus. Montana has always been a
bitter factional state since the be-
ginning of the great Clark-Daly feud
but now that DAILY is dead and Clark
dead issue" in Montana the peo-
pie have divided themselves into
Heinze and Amalgamated factions.
The old Clark interests practically
became allied with the Amalgamated
three years ago, and since then Mr..
Heinze has fought the combination
single handed.
The key note to Heinze's mining
in the courts" was his keen foresight
in the matter of the apex" clause.
When he began his great fight he has
endeavored to get hold of every apex
unexplored on the Butte hills, and
for the most part he has been sue
cessful. Since then he has been in
the courts following out the leads
from his apeXes and claiming all the
leads that originate in any of his
apexes. These leads often run into
claims owned by his rivals who have
developed them into great mines, and
new battles are now on. The tech
nicality is with Heinze on this point
and through ii he has amassed for
tune which he values at $4,000, 900,
and for which the Amalgamated Of
fers him in the open market SILL
600, 600. But Heinze declines to sell
and says he is in Montana to stay
and TO fight the big copper trust TO
the finish. His famous slogan is, II

WAS PROMOTER OF AN
IRRIGATION COMPANY

Charles G. Wands, the unfortunate
victim of the Internban accident on
Sunday night, was prominently con-
nected with one of the largest irri-
cation schemes in this part of the
United States.
The scheme was to supply the Yak
ina reservation and Horse Heaven
district with water, and being civil
engineer, he had already worked out
the details of the problem and had
formed company, to be capitalized
at $4,000, 1000, to carry it out.
Wands had already spent some
$4,000 of his own money in prelim-
mary surveys and the outlook for the
success of the scheme was very
bright

The new TELEPHONE FRANCHISE

closing hour of the discussion was
relieved somewhat when Manager
Sands of the Sunset Telephone com
pany intimated, in words too plain
to be misunderstood, that some of
the speakers who favored the new
company had been guilty of doing
that which is alleged to have caused
the demise of one Ananias. Excep-
tons were taken to Mr. Sands insin-
uations and rhetorical sparks flew
thick and fast.

Capital Our of TacOma-DOn't Want
Up-tO-Date Automatic Phones

Some of the members of the city
council don't want to see Tacoma get
out of the rut and break away from
the moss-covered one corporation
idea
On the proposition to indefinitely
postpone further action on the ordi-
nance granting a franchise to the In
dependent Telephone company last
night, there was a tie vote, seven
voting for and seven against the mo-
ton. That leaves the matter just
where 1t was before II was taken up
by the council in committee of the
whole last night.
Those who voted in favor Of i'm
definite postponement were Conrad,
Giblett, Hawley, Hoenig, Lamborn,
Whitman and Wright. Those In fa-
vor of granting the franchise were
Christoffersen, MARTENS, Read,
Roice, Richards, Salmson and Usher.
When the council resolved itself
into a committee of the whole +. s.
Wright was elected chairman and the
ordinance was read, one section at
@ time.
Hhif~SpffttinR STUNT.
All went well until section eight,
which provides that the company
shall invest $150,000 in the system
the first year. Councilman Whitman
thought he discovered a technical
error in the wording of the section
and then followed a hair-sphttine
turn in which he and Councilman
Wright were the star performers.
The trouble arose over Council
man Whitman questioning the mean

Richards Finds Way Out.
Finally Councilman Richards ap
peared as the Moses who should leat
his colleagues out of the wilderness
of words. He disposed OF the knot

easily slipped into place. About
half the four hours time spent IN
discussing the franchise was oceu
pied with similar performances.
Fight On Rates.
The real fight of the evening com.
menced when section ten was reach
ed. This section provided that the
maximum rate should be SIS month
for business phones, and $2.75 foi
residences, and provided for an in
crease of 80 cents per month for each
thousand subscribers over 5000.
Some of the councilmen considered
this rate excessive. Attorney Rid
dell, representing the Independent
people, proposed an amendment
which was adopted. This named tn,

phones and $2.75 for residences, Will
an increase of 80 cents for each thou

CONCONULLY, July 26.-Frank
Allen, the convicted horsethief under
sentence of eight years in the state
penitentiary, together with James
Colvey, under arrest for selling
liquor to Indians, escaped from the
Okanogan county Jail last night The

in for a minor offense

then broke a hole through the rear
wall with a table leg.

, increase OF so cents a thousand for
over 1000 subscribers, he said, was
made because of the expense of in
staliing extra wires and because the
subscribers received an increased
benefit.
Although this provision was bitter
ly opposed by Councilmen Giblett
and Whitman, II was finally adopted.
Conrad Gives Knock.
The other sections were passed
without comment. Then Councilman
Conrad made his motion to indefi-
nitely postpone the matter. Council
man Read offered a substitute to the
effect that the committee of the
whole recommend the passage of the
ordinance.
During the discussion which fol-
lowed, Councilmen Read and Salm-
son led the forces in favor of grant
ing the franchise, and Lamborn
Whitman and Giblett worked against
1t.
Tacoma Needs Capital.
Councilman Read said: "If the
councilmen don't want this franchise
/ suppose they will knock 1t out.
But we need telephone competition
in Tacoma A few weeks ago there
was a proposition before the council
to vote $500 to send Frank laval

to spend that $500 TO induce capita

the fact that when the population OF
Tacoma had increased to several hun.

increase in telephone subscribers, the
