Judge Hunt Denies Injunction.

HELENA, May l5.-Judge Hunt in
the United States court today denied
the injunction sought by F. Augustus
Reinze against the Parrot Mining
company in Bate to prevent its min
ing 10 a vein which he commended
apexed in the Nipper mine, in which
latter mine he owns 1896, on the
ground that a sufficient showing had
not been made.
In regard to the so-called "Blue''
vein, Judge Hunt holds the question
hinges on where the discovery is on
the Nipper and in the absence of suf-
ticlent showing he grants the iniunc.
ton in that particular. The decision
is a partial victory for the Amalga.
mated company. The Parrot mine
has been closed since proceedings
we're started. but will now sum OPP
eratiOns.

Chicago Strike May Extend.

CHICAGO, May l4.-Unless com.
promises are offered by the opposing
interests in the fight now in progress
in Chicago between capital and labor,
the transfers strike will spread many
fold during the next 48 hours. The
refusal OF the teamsters joint council,
representing 81 5000 union drivers, to
accede to the demands OF the Chicago
Team Owners association to handle
merchandise for all business houses
having contracts with the members of
the owners organization without dis.
eliminating against the firms involved
in the present strike, has brought the
controversy to a point where a speedy
settlement will have to be made to pre-.
vent al extension of the trouble.
After receiving the announcement of
the teamsters' joint council refusing to
obey the ultimatum of the Team Own.
ers association a meeting of the latter
organization was held, aud it was de-
cided to give the teamsters until Tues.
day to consider the proposition.

Idaho Senators disagree.

WASHINGTON, May Is. = Senator
Dubois of Idaho and Clifford Pinchot,
chief Of the division of forestry, had
q conference with the president today
regarding the esta blishment of forest
reserves, especially In Idaho. Sena.
tor Dubois left with the president a
long statement, in which he antagon.
lies the position taken by his colleague,
Senator Hey burn, and indorses the
attitude of the president Ia setting
aside land for forest reserves.
Considerable feeling has been
aroused in Idaho concerning the es-
Establishment of forest reserves in that
state, it being asserted by Senator
Hey burn and others that the land so
set aside was needed for settlement.
Senator Dubois contends that no
foundation exists for the feeling and
that ~ homeseeker or homemaker is
being Inconvenience in the least by
the creation of the reserve.

fourth of the tax must be paid each
year for four years, and will be coll
lected by the county treasurer on or

Tornado Victims ncrncnted.

SNYDER, Okla, May 6.-Several of
those injured 10 the recenttornado have
been unconscious since the disaster,
and physicians express the opinion
that, v ia case of their recovery,
they will not fully regain their reason.
No deaths occurred today among the
patients at the hospital here, although
no hopes are entertained of the recov.
cry OF two of them. 1t was determined
that no more should be sent away and
a temporary hospital has been erected
for their treatment. Physicians and
nurses continue to arrive from other
towns o supply the places of those
who, worn out by the hard work, are
leaving the city daily.
The total number of deaths, accord
ing the best estimate obtainable, is
81: although a statement was issued
by the press committee yesterday
which places the total at lO3. The
lack of records accounts for this dis
crepancy in figures.

Sheep and Wool Gossip.

A sheep deal recently reported in.
cludes about 1890 head of ewes and
yearlings, which were sold by Armour
& Burnett, of Hinsdale. to Oruos IL
Co., OF Deer Lodge county. The
price averaged about 81. 90 per head.
A few additional wool contracts
We're made in northern Montana dur.
ing the week, the prices ranging from
22223 to ~ cents. The latter figure was
secured by A. S. Lohman, of Chinook.
|: is claimed by some that about so
per cent OF the Montana wool clip
has been contracted up to date, but
this guess is probably incorrect.
Nearly all the large clips have been
secured by spectators, but there are
quite a number of smaller outfits
whose clips will aggregate a large
total. In Chouteau county alone the
clips remaining unsold would have a
total weight of about l, 900, 900 pounds,
and may exceed that estimate.

Punished For Contempt Of Court.

Judge Baird, who ~dispenses justice

tempt Of court: and James Murray,
who will serve ninety days for supply
ing liquor to the prisoner while in
custody at Zortman.
Justice Baird was hearing a case in
which Bert Swag was plaintiff when
the latter SO conducted himself that the
court imposed a fine of $40 for con.
tempt. %whereupOn the offender re.
marked that the punishment was easy.
The court then increased the penalty
to thirty days in the county Jail, and
Swag retorted that he could stand on
his head for that length of time. De-
termined to MAINTAIN the dignity Of the
court, Judge Baird announced that
the offender must serve sixty days in
Jail, and he was then taken in charge
by the deputy sheriff, who removed
him to the local bastille. The prisoner
was secured with leg irons and
picketed with a log chain, as the build.
ing was not considered suitable for
Jail purposes.
During the night "a couple Of friends
OF the prisoner, concluding he was
very thirsty, broke in the door of the
jail building and supplied him with
whisky. One Of these was James Muir.

Seven Meet Frightful Death.

BUTTE, May l2.-Seven men were
killed and q injured, probably ia.
tally, In an explosion in the Cora
mine OF the big Heinze properties at 3
O'Clock this afternoon. The cause of
the explosion is not known, and u
only be surmised. Nels Wampa was
carrying an armful of about forty
sticks OF dynamite, approximately 25
pounds. He was climbing q ladder
1850 feet underground to join his com.
panions on the l,4OU.foot level, when
the dynamite exploded with terrible
effect.
1t is believed that Wampa either
touched his lighted candle to a giant
cap or else some hot candle grease
fell upon 1t, causing it to explode.
Wampa was blown to bits, fragments
of him being found several hundred
feet away. Two men working nearby
were also blown to pieces, their re.
mains filling seven sacks. Four
Others, working about 100 feet distant,
were instantly killed, though their
bodies were not mutilated.
The drift on which the unfortunate
men were working was completely
Uttered with human fragments. While
Foreman Thomas Warden was grop.
Ing in the dense smoke in an effort to
rescue the men, his hands came In con.
Tact with something soft which, upon
investigation, proved to be half of the
top Of Wampa's head hanging to an
electric light wire over a hundred feet
distant from the scene of the explo.

Is 1T FISH Or REPTILE?
a strange Looking Creature Whose Soc.
cics is q Matter Of Doubt.

The railroad reservoir at Eight.
mile springs is said to be swarming
with strange looking creatures whose
identity is puzzling local students of
natural history. There are thousands
OF them in the reservoir, and it is not
known whether they belong TO the fish
Or reptile family.
Two specimens of these curious
what is its" were brought to the Riv.
er Press Office yesterday by Geo. l..
King, who ished them out of the res.
ervoir with a hoe, one OF the speci-
mems being about ten inches in length.
MIR. King says there are some of much
larger size in the reservoir, several
being fully two feet long, and a Jap.
anese section hand working in that
vicinity AYERS that he has seen one
that was "as long as a hoe handle"
The specimen submitted by Mr.. King
has a tlatteued, round.shaped head
similar to that of catfish, with pro.
truding gills through whichit breathes:
Its body is shaped like that of an eel,
tapering into a tail that has a row of
inns at top and bottom, and with which
IT controls its motion in the water. 1t
has four feet like those of a lizard,
but the appearance of the creature
does not resemble that of aquatic sala-
manders, tritons, efts or nevis that
are pictured in encyclopedias. The
head formation. especially, Is alto
gether different from anything de-
scribed in handbooks of natural his
tory.
In view of the stringent provisions
OF the present fish and game warden
law, it is necessary that the identity
OF these curious creatures be deter
mined. If they belong to the reptile
family they may be caught by any one
inclined to indulge in that kind of
sport, and no protest will be made:
but it thew are classed as fish, those
who go after them should first provide
themselves with a fish and game Ii.
~cense-price one dollar.
Mr.. King caught his specimens with
a hoe. and as he did not have a license
at the time. a game warden sleuth NAV
interview him about the matter and
suggest that he is liable to a fine OF
$25 or more.
