TO ENJOIN MINERS' UNION FROM The first legal step to prevent the Min ers' union from investing $7.0 000 of the funds in stock of the Amalgamated Cop per company was taken in the district court today, by the filing of a suit to en* join the union from carrying out the terms of the resolution adopted by it a few days ago authorizing the trustees to buy the stock. The matter has been set for hearing before Judge Clancy at 10 o'.clock on June 3. The title of the a tion is John Quinn, as president of the union; Joseph Shan non, as trustee; and John McKenna, George Cox, John Powers, Thomas Bro gan, Patiiek Brennan. Peter Marion, James Kelly, Thomas W. Bradley, John McGinnis, James Kilrain, James O'Flan nigan, W. H Ward, James McGuire, John Burke, Michael McCormick. Phil Nolan, James Hart, John Cullen, Tim Harring ton, James Cloonan, W- J. Fraser, Mike Moran, Lynn T. Mitchell and Thomas F. Redmond against the Daly & Trust Com pany, the First National bank, of Butte, the State Savings bank, W. A. Clark & i Bro., John Shay, Charles O'Brien, Jos- ; eph Head and James P. Murphy, trustees ! of the union; John M. Sullivan, treasurer; Jeremiah Hanley, financial secretary; Frank O'Connor, recording secretary; John R. Murphy, also recording secre tary, and the Butte Miners' Union. In the complaint, filed by Breen & Mackel, it is related that all of the plain tiffs are members of the union, which is large, consisting of over 5,000 persons, and that to bring them all before the court would be impracticable. The plain tiffs therefore say they are suing for their own benefit and the benefit of the other members. The complaint further alleges that the union is a corporation, a benevolent and social organization having as its object the protection of its members in pursuit of their fearfully hazardous avocations as practical underground miners; that it was formed to cultivate an acquaintance HUSBAND CHARGE S BIGAMY. H. J. Scott Causes His Wife's Arrest— Says She Has One Spouse Too Many. Minnie E. Scott, who has lived in Butte about five years, was arrested late this afternoon on a complaint charging her with having one more hus band than the law allows. The accusa tion was made by H. J. Scott, her pies ent nusband, who, according to the story related by him to the county attorney, ,Qia not know until last night th: 'wife had never been divorced from her : first husband. He said he and the worn, u were united in man iage in this city November 21, 1893, and the fact that she had another husband living never occurred to him. Her father, mother and sister had been living with them at 1233 West Granite street. She and the sister, however, had a misunderstanding, and the latter told his brother about the alleged bigamous act of »Mrs. Scott. The brother told Scott, and when he went home las* night he spoke of the matter to the household. Mrs. Scott's mother and father, Scott said, admitted the accusation, as cid his wife, who, he says, stated that ;he had lived with her first husband six years, 'and left him because he had nuL sup ported her. A row over a division of the furniture is said to save followed between the Scotts. Mrs. Scott wanted everything ir. sigh't, Scott claims, but he weird not have it that way, so today he charged her with bigamy. The arrest was made by Constable Boyle of Justice Arnold's court, rnd the justice fixed bond at $500. Negro Held Up a Saloon.

WILL BSE VIOLENCE TO DRIVE OUT LEPER HOME New Orleans, May IS.—The pro jected establishment of a leper's home in the parish of Jefferson, on the river, some eighteen miles above New Orleans, has thrown the residents of the parish into a fever of excitement. For some months the leper board, established by the state, has been looking for an available location to u hich to remove the lepers, who are now held in a home at White Castle, several miles above New Orleans, and securing an option upon a large plantation in Jefferson parish, went quietly about the purchase of it. The deal was closed a week ago and a few days later the news leaked out. The citizens of Jefferson parish at once took measures to prevent the establishment of the home in their neighborhood, and have en tered a protest with Governor Heard. If this falls, they openly announce their Intention to pre vent the establishment of the in stitution by force of arms. j j j I j I j j i I j ; ■ i among those engaged in hazardous em 1 1 ymont; that they might be better en abl.d to form an undivided opposition to acts of injustice- Its members, says the complaint, «re not holders of stock, as the corporation issues no stock. Continuing, the complaint says the unit n has about $73.000 in cash which is now on deposit in the bank, and that the i ney is subject to the orders of the uni 1 n and its officers for legitimate use as provided by its charter and by-laws; that the defendants—John Shay, Charles O'Brien, Joseph Head and James P. Mur» phv as trustees, John M. Sullivan as treasurer. John Mu; tha as vice-president Jeremiah Hanley as financial secretary, Frank O'Connor and John R. Murphy as recording secretaries— have threatened to and are about to invert $50.000 of the union's fund in the capital stock of the Amalgamated Copper company, a foreign corpo: ation, having been incorporated under the laws of New Jersey with its principal place- of business in Jersey City N. J.. ar.d that the proposed investment is by virtue of a certain pretended order signed by John Shay, Charles O'Brien, James P. Murphy and John M. Sullivan, pretending to act in their official capacity as trustees and treasurer of the union; that the trustees who signed the order were never authorized by the members to do so, except that at a certain meet ing held on or about May 14, about 240 members voted in favor of the payment of the money for the stock The plaintiffs allege that the articles of incorporation make no provision for the paymment of union funds for mine stock and that neither the president of the union, Joseph Shannon was Joseph Head as ti ustees have signed the order for the proposed purchase. In conclusion the plaintiffs ask that an injunction be issued restraining the de fendants from making the investment or from paying the money to the Amalga mated company for any other purpose. AN ALLEGED MUTINY OF WEST POINT CADETS X Washington, May Ij.— I nforma- SS tion of a semi-official nature has SS been received here from the West SS Point military academy of a seri- SS ous condition of affairs prevailing SS in the cadet battalion which % amounts almost to an insurrection SS of a large number of upper class SS men. SS The trouble has been known to SS exist at the institution since the SS investigation of the Booz hazing, SS and matters have grown so bad of SS late that it is reported here that no SS less than eighty cadets, chiefly of SS the second or next ranking class, SS were confined to quarters, and SS that several, and perhaps a large SS proportion, might be court mar- SS tialed. SS The so-called insurrection is said SS to have been a result of the SS growing unpopularity of Colonel SS Mills, the superintendent, who SS army officers allege, has issued SS orders and prescribed regulations SS which the cadets believe are en- SS tirely opposed to the traditions SS and best interests of the school. SS jg *SSSSSS*SSSSSSSS3SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS WHY THE B OND WA S NOT GOOD (Special to Inter Mountain.) Helena, May 18.—Clerk Riekerts of the supreme court today filed his reasons for disapproving the bond of the Dela ware Surety company for the Montana Ore Purchasing company. They are, that he did not deem the company finan cially and sufficient surety on the bond; because the surety has not complied with the state laws so as to entitle 't to transact the business of a surety com pany in the state, and because the surety company has no license front the state audtor to transact business as a surety company. The last reason is based on the fact that the license authorizes the company to do only an insurance business, and the law makes a separate provision for surety companies and does not include them under the head of insurance com panies. The Montana Ore Purchasing company will file a motion today for a hearing on the matter. Governor Toole today appointed C. M. Allen of Lolo. Missoula county, a mem ber of the state board of horticulture to succeed Samuel Dinsmore, resigned. Catholic Memorial Service.

(•sso.1,1 pajBjoossv ^a) New York, May 18.—Kirk Stanley, the masseur, in whose rooms the body of the Rev. Edward Phillips of Hazelton, Pa., was found Thursday night, was ar raigned today before Coroner Bausch, who held him in $10,000 bail for exam ination next Wednesday. The attorneys for Stanley issued the following statement: "After a thorough and conscientious investigation into the facts of this case, we state irrevocably there was no im moral action, actively or suggestively, in the conduct of the unfortunate prit The temporary unusual abuse of stir u lant on his part is the sum total of s ty weakness with which he can be charg cl. His life was morally pure, and we e plore an suggestion to the contrary in an irresponsible moment by a ru 11 crazed unfortunate. If any women w< :e in that flat they were there before t te arrival of Father Phillips, and had r s parted long before he arrived; nor 1 id he see any woman while there." GREAT ART GALLER Y IN RUINS Philadelphia, May 17.—Tfye country home of Thomas B. Wanamaker, £t Meadow Brook, was struck by lightning this morning and entirely destroyed. The loss is estimated at $500,000. A wo man caretaker and her child and a man servant, who were sleeping in the house, narrowly escaped being burned to death. The pictures in the art gallery are an irreparable loss. The approximate value is $250,000, and several of the paintings were specimens of the old masters. Orte alone, a Van Dyke of Charles I, cost Mr. Wanamaker $43,000. It's the best cat they say, that catches the most mice, and it's the best friend that rustles the most coupons—other things being equal. Last year Miss McAndrews, who so ably conducted her own campaign for the Alaskan trip, had better and more orig inal ideas than any one else in the run ning. That's the reason why she won. One of the things she did was to send out to every court house in the state a letter to some of the officials asking them to save the Inter Mountain coupons. She didn't sign the letters herself but as some of the good natured county officials in the Silver Bow county court house did so, it was even better than her own appeal would have been. Assuredly the coupon contest is catch ing on in Butte, and then there are the outside places to hear from yet. The pan that requires all who vote the first series of coupons to get them into the Inter Mountain counting room before 9 o'clock at night May 21, is securing good results. The coupon from that date to a week from that time will constitute the second series and each week"s series must be voted before the next series be gins. This plan will work for the conven ience of all concerned in the voting and bring the vote up to its fullest purpor tions early in the fight.

A case of a banker receiving a small package on a silver tray, was disclosed last night by the issuing of a warrant for arrest, charging Albert Rice with ob taining money under false pretenses. The complaint was sworn to by Cashier Welr iik of the First National bank and Rice is now in custody. The m inoy said to have been secured by Rie», was $10 and was said to have b on obtained from As sistant Cashier Stevenson of the bank. Mr. Stevenson states that it is not the desire of the bank to prosecute the case but simply to be reimbursed for the money said to have been paid to Rice. Rice and his friends claim that he was simply the victim of a joker and that he intended nothing wrong Cashier Weirick said that Rice appear ed at the bank wilndow yesterday and asked if he could sell some tickets for the ball to be given by the Knights of Pythias lodge at the Columbia gardens. Mr. Stevenson was very busy at the time but said the bank would take ten of the tickets. Rice it is said handed in the re quired number of tickets and in return received $10. The assistant cashier did not d : scovei until this morning that the tickets were marked in told type, 'Knights of Py thias ball, May 15th 1901." Having pur chased the tickets in good faith, Mr. Stevenson got a little out of humor when he noticed that he had bought ten tick ets for a dance which had been given the day before. Rice's friends state tfiat they will ad just the matted this evening and have the young man released from Jail. They say Rice was given the tickets, to sal!, by a friend, who thought it would be quite a joke should he dispose of any, .and not until they heard that the young man had been accused of a serious charge did they realize what had been done. The young man, when arrested said that he had not looked at the tickets when they were handed to him,and there for failed to notice the dates, but imme diately proceeded to dispose of them. He claims to have acted in good faith and said he had turned the money received for the tickets over to the friend who had given him the tickets. Rice said he understood that the dance was to be giv en at the gardens tonight. Proceeds of the Art Exhibit. The art committee met this morning and found that their gross receipts were between $700 and $800.
