NEW YORK, July10-The United

acquired the copper interests OF Otto

for $12,O00,000 in the United States
district court against the Amalgamat
ed Copper company, the Anaconda Cop.
per Mining company, the Butte Coali
tion Mining company and others, when
an amended complaint in the suit un.
der the Sherman law was filed. 1t
was alleged that Otto Heinze & Co.
We're damaged in excess of $4,000,000,
and under the law three-fold damages
were asked.
The complaint alleged that certain
of the defendants sought to influence
the courts of Montana to deprive Otto
Heinze & Co. illegally of the rights
and interests in the Minnie Healey
mine. It was further alleged that
$250,O00 was offered as bribe to a
judge if he would grant new trial,
and when the Judge refused, efforts
were made to have him impeached.
Other charges in the complaint
against the defendants were that in
! 1897 they caused the smelter and con.
centrator of the Montana Ore Pur.
chasing company of Montana to be set
on fire and that at the time of the
blaze, had the water supply cut off
for an hour and a quarter. This and
other things, the complaint alleges,
were the result of conspiracy to re-
strain trade and commerce and create
a monopoly.

the best appearance, and also re-
ceived an appropriation from the state
association, bringing their gains up
to SITS cash, tells the story First

d five-passenger Ford, and we were on
our way to the fair grounds. At Hen

and 1 thought he was motioning us to
come on. l started the car across the
tracks, and the oncomIng train was
within ten feet of US before 1 realized
the danger. Dollar, who was sitting on
the front seat with Buckingham, has a
TO put on the brakes. But there wasn't
time. 1 tried to swing the car around,
iE order to get little more distance,
and 1 thought we were going to make
it across the tracks before the train
reached us. But the engine hit our rear
wheels, and threw the car over. That's
all L know about it. Neither Dollar nor
