Butte, Mont, Oct. 2.-Three more big smoke /,
suits, in which the damages aggregate a million
and a half dollars, were filed by the Kirk u
Clinton company against. the Anaconda Copper
company and the Washoe Copper company. Ten
smaller suits are now pending in the state and
federal courts and other suits are promised. The
amount of damages already alleged aggregate
more than $4,000, 0O0.s 8
Suit for an injunction has already, been be-
gun and seeks to close the Washoe smelters, the
largest in the world and the main plant OF the
| Amalgamated company. The principal suit is
that fled in Deer Lodge county. Fourteen plain
tifs are named in the complaint, and the fact0
concerning the building and remodeling OF the
| Washoe smelter in 1902 and 1903 are rectted.
Then follows a general allegation of damages
from. the sulphurous and poisonous smoke and
fumes from the big stack to property, real and
personal. in what is styled as the smoke zone
In the Deer Lodge valley, comprising an aggre-
4 gate of 100 square miles.
| The complaint states that many OF the far
mers and ranchers insI3eer Lodge valley, includ-
ing some..of the plaintiffs, settled in the val
ley and built up homes as early as 1850; that
all who came to the evalleys prospered, and that
! vegetation of all kinds livestock and the like,
prespered until the coming OF. the smelter and
the emission Of poisonous fumes from Its stack
began. Then came a change - *
1t is asserted that vegetation OF all kinds Is
killed by the sulphurous fumes; that livestock
running on the range in the valley is extinct,
and that the once fertile and prosperous valley
is being made desolate by the poisonous fumes
from the big stack. One hundred farmers are
! involved in the suits, 80. 8

An attempt is being made by prominent citi-
zens Of Crookston to secure the release from
custody of Theodore Larsen, who is held in the
Polk county Jail on the charge, Of having MUIR
dered Hans Nelson in Crookston two years
ago. Nelson's body was thrown into the river,
but no clue to the murderer could ever be
found. Two months ago, however, Larsen ap-
preached the village marshal at Northome and
asked to be taken into custody, declaring that
he was Nelson's murderer. He later made a
confession in writing. The man now denies his
confession. however, and appears to he men:
tally -unsound. Witnesses who saw Nelson on
the day, Of his death with another man have
failed to identify Larsen, and it is believed
that no case can be made out against him..

aged father, on the young wonaan's homestead

the present term of court. County Attorney
Mcdonald has admitted that the evidence which
he has is not sufficient to secure a conviction
and will move to quash the indictments.
The failure to secure evidence In this case
is a grieyous disappointment to the citizens OF
Beltrami county, for the murder, which was
committed in April, 1904, was one of the foul
est and most terrible In the history of northern
Minnesota. The county has spent large sums
Of money searching for evidence, as have thu

Popular opinion lays the double murder t.
either Fournier or Wesley, or to both of them
largely because they are known to be forme
criminals and men who would stop at nothing
to gain anything they might, want. Fournie

Gives the Country a Bad Name.

During p~ostotfice is about twenty miles from
Tenstrike, the nearest railway station. The
country round about Quiring is thinly settled
by homesteaders, and one can drive nearly all
day, without seeing a house other than deserted
logging camps. The Land will one day be valu-;
able farming country, but at present 1t 1s
neglected, and since the Dahl murder some OF
the settlers have moved away, while no one
has had the hardihood to take up a residence
there. The entire district, back so far from
the railroad and so thinly settled, Is In a
constant state of terror, and its development
has been retarded many years by this terrible
crime. -t ,
An extraordinary case Of human depravity
has been brought to light here. A few days
ago one William Hays, who has been working
in the wheat fields Of North Dakota, returned
to Bemidji with his wages and Immediately
went. on q spree. He was discovered dragging
his 4-year-old daughter from saloon to saloon
and attempting to make her drink. The next
| day his 7-year-old son. was found %trudging three
miles into the country, where the lad said he
had a job, as he. now 'had to suppoH the
family since papa began drinking" Hays was
arraigned this morning and promised to sign
the pledge and return to work.
