WITH MURDER IN BUTTE.
LYNCHlNG IS TALKED.

tory Of the Crime.

Butte, July 21.-Paddy Rodgers, al.
legged bandit, boosted bad man and all
around desperate, Is IN Jail for the
murder OF Michael Henry IN a saloon
upon the outskirts last Saturday. Hen
nv was carried from his home to the
cemetery. three miles, today upon the
shoulders OF 80 miners who took this
dramatic method Of protest against
the lawlessness reigning In Butte.
The Henry murder occurred during
q saloon holdup. While his hands
were up. Henry was shot through the
heart at close range. He had known
Paddy Rodgers for years and 1T is
thought by the police that Rodgers
saw Henry, recognized him and killed
him to escape pursuit. The men en-
gagged in the robbery were masked,
but several witnesses declare the MUIR
sderer Is Rodgers. @
Rodgers has been q boosted des-
Iperado for many years. Heswas tried
and acquitted q few years ago for the
brutal murder Of an old man In
saloon row. Before that murder. q
mere boy, when wanted on q robbery
charge. he fed into the hills, rife ii
hand and defied the police for weeks.
He was captured later near Lewis
town, brought home and finally dis
missed. He had figured In several
shooting scrapes with the police and
while in jail recently warned half
dozen newspaper men that he would
get" them. Nevertheless, he walked
forth free, as every EFFORT Of the au-
thorities failed, nobody caring to come
forward and testify.
Lynching is now openly talked Of
and # Rodgers identity as the masked
murderer Of Henry is established the
Jail will hardly hold the bad man.

SCHROEDER GETS 40 CENTS FOR.

WOOL in DEMAND.
Buyers Pick Up TWO Offerings at Prl-
vate sale-McAilistsr Sells III

Few Clips ~ Be Marketed Here Yet
No Auction Sales Held Yesterday.
Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily. &
For two consecutive seasons John
Schroeder's wool has topped the west
ern market. Yesterday the Lake
Basin stockman received 10 cents for
his clip Of $4,000 pounds at private
sale. w. q. Herbert, OF Charles o.
Herbert & Co. Philadelphia, was the
buyer. Last year MI. Schroeder re-
ceived the top price, 24sMzt cents.
The Schroeder clip Is considered
the choice clip OF the wool market in
Billings and has always been in good
demand.
Charles McAllister sold his clip Of
1171g sacks. about $4,000 pounds. to
sHaig. Of Justice Bateman & CO. The
transaction was closed at private sale
and the price Is confidential.
On account Of few offerings the To-
cal market was rather dull yesterday.
There were no auction sales and the
only deals closed were the two pri.
vate sales mentioned. There are but
few clips OF more than 10000 pounds
vet to be marketed and the market
will not be glutted with small OFFER.
ings: Most Of the buyers. who make
their headquarters II Billings. are
still in the city or are here the great
er part Of the time.
There is no way Of telling the ex-
act mount Of wool yet to be placed
on the Billings market, but 1t is gem
orally known that the season is near
ing It's close. It Is very probable that
the buyers will remain for a week or
ten days more at least.
