Judge Clancy also signed the three bonds of $So,ooo each in the three cases against the objections of the attorneys for the defendants, Messrs. Shores, lrorbis and Kelley. The objections will be heard later, however, and the sureties on the bohds, F. A. Heinze and his brother, A. P. Heinse, will be required to justify. All of the papers in the cases were presented to the court by Judge McHatten, Heinse's attorney, and the court said "Pass 'em up," and signed them, as soon as they had been discussed. The first thing done this afternoon when the court met was the reading of the minutes, and the attorneys for both sides waived the reatding of the judgments entered in the Minnie Hlealy and the re ceivership and injunction cases, on ac count of their length.

DILLON WILL FEEL EFFECT People of the Beaverhead Are Vitally In terested In Crisis. SPECIAl. TO TlHE INTER MOUNTAIN. Dillon, Oct. a3.-The people of Dillon are discussing the unwelcome news of the Butte shut-down and feel they are vitally interested, as Butte is one of the best markets the farmers in this section have for hay, produce, beef and the like. One or more freight crews will probably be laid off the railroad here. Only a few days ago the amount of silica being shipped from the quarry near here to the Anaconda smelter was increased to one a day. AFFECTS WESTERN MONTANA Vlissoullans Indignant Over Action of Those Who Caused Shutdown. SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN, Misseula, Oct. 23.-Western Montana is deeply interested in the suspension of the Amalgamated properties at Butte, as not a few of the industries of this locality are directly affected, notably the lumber plants and the farming interests, The shutdown is bound to have its effect throughout this section. WEAT44EfR-Wshlington, Oct, ai.--The weather indications for Montana are that Sat. urday will be fair and slightly warmer. ESTIMATE OF MEN THROWN OUT OF WORK NOW: AMALGAMATED OFFICIALS SAY IT WILL BE AT LEAST TWELVE THOUSAND MEN. REALLY MANY MORE ARE . TO BE AFFECTED SOON Every Section of This State Will Sullr, the Rancher Among the Rest, and as Far as Wyoming the Shut down. Will Be Telling. IHow many men will be thrown out of employmentt by the shut down order lost night? Tbat is a bard question to an swer. Offtcials of the Amnalgamated ptOP crties are authority for the statteent that tit least ta,ooo mnet will. be affected di rectly by the order, but. there pre. thous ands uo others whose numbers, at this time cannot be estimated The actual number directly thrown 4ut of emplloyttent int Untte are. 6,5oo. .TIse itnclude the men in the Bloston & f3 tl tanit mines, the Anaconda mines, the SynI dicate group, the Butte & luostott mines, Colorado smelter. the Washoe group and the switching crews and other employes of the B., A. & P. railway, who have to do with shipping ore fromn the hill mines to Anaconda and (treat Falls. Every Line of Business. But outside of these there must be taýen into consideration mnll in every line 'of business. There is not an industry, not a mercantile emtablishmlent, not a line of business int Ilutte that is not dependent to a greater or less extent on the properties that have bleen closed down. Business men nust curtail their pay rolls, all. em ployers necessarily will have to reduce their forces. At Anaconda the Amalgamated emlployes at the new Washoc smel.ters, at the .lime kilns, at the silica quarries, at the. brick yard and at the foundary are thrown out, The closing of the Boston & .Montana smelter at (;reat Fulls will leave many lhundreds of imet! there out of employment. Then, too, there are the employes of the Blackfoot Milling company in the woods and in the Raw mill at itonper, the sane class of men working for the Anaconda Copper Mining company's lumber depart tment, which centers int its big mill at lHam ilton, probably the coal miners at Storrs, the coal miners at Belt---all these go .ot, In Wyoming, Too. The company operates extensive coat mines at Diamondville, Wyo. While these' will not he entirely shut down, becasumt they supply coal to the trade as well as t, the company, the output will be limited ma terially. The 'leasant Valley coke producers at Pleasant Valley. Utah, the lime and siHea quarries in Jefferson county, the coal mines at IHorr, the lime quarries at Maiden Rock on the Oregon Short Line-these and a number of other industries in this and ad joining states are not owned by the Amalgamated, but they will all probably have to shut down, as their chief customer is the Amalgamated. The numbler of employes on the Montana Central railway will be cut down because the crews which have handled the ore trains fromt Butte to Great Falls no longer are necessary. The Butte, Anaconda & Pacific railways will be able to dispense with practically all its freight crews, because there will be no ore to transport to the Anaconda smelters. Ore shipments from Butte to Anaeonda have aggregated about 5,ooo tons a day. Ranchers Affected. Ranchers who have found a profitable market for their hay and other produce in the lumber camps and other enterprises conducted by the Amalgamated companies will be hurt. In fact the whole industrial body of the state has been stricken. The news that the warfare which has been waged against the Amalgamated companies in this state 'has compelled the shut down is the worst that ever came to the state.

HE REPLIES TO F. A. HEINZE Characterizes Statements by the Latter as Maliciously False-Rogers Did Not Order Shutdown. In the Butte Miner this mornlillg alp pears a statement signed by F. Aug. Heinee in which the writer endeavors to avoid the responsibility for the shutdown of the Amialgamated properties in Mon tana which has dealt a severe blow to all the industries of tile state. In it .Mr. Ileinze declares that the hultdowln is not justified by his reading of Judge 'l;acy's decisions. He also declares that, inl hi-s opinlion, the shutdown is due to all attempt by ii. i. Rogers, piresildenlI of the Amual galiated, and that gentlemian's associatels, to alfect the price of Amalg miated stuck ill Wall street. Today I'resident William Scallon of the Anaconda Copper Mining cmpanlll y, who -is at the head of Amalgamated af fairs in 'Montana, was asked if lie hadl anything to say for publication regarding this statement. lie said: "Regarding the shutdown, that is a (mat - ter to be dealt with by itself ill uiy event, independent of the discussion or criticilm contained in the personal statement of dMr. lieinze. This will be done itn due time if the occasion requires. "To lawyers and laymen alike, who hap pen to be acquainted with the Northern Securities case, to which Mr. lleinze ri fers, his assertion that the provisions of Judge Clancy's decision a;re 'very nearly identical' with the order issued by the cir cuit court of appeals in the merger case, indicates either gross ignorance on Mr. Heinze's part or a desire to per vert the facts. In the Northern Securi ties case the order directed the transfer of the stock to its original owners and recognized the property rights of the Northern Securities company. Judge Clancy's decision, on the contrary, so far as it goes, declares that the adverse party has no rights whatever, plrohibits any transfers and simply proposes to wipe out the property rights. "With respect to Mr. Heinze's reference to Mr. Rogers and his associates, I will say right now that his assertions regarding .Mr. Rogers and the imputations which he utters are deliberately, unqualifiedly and maliciously false. They are in line with many outrageous slanders which Mr. Heinze has caused to be published regarding Mr. Rog ers and other so-called Amalgamated men. Generally Mr. Heinze has been quite con tent to disseminate such slanders from un der the cloake of hirelings, while assuming airs of decency himself. In this instance, in a desperate endeavor to distract atten lion from himrelf, the real publisher of the Reveille reveals himself. "Let there be no misunderstanding. Mr. Fritz'Augustus Heinze uttered an unquali fed falsehood when he said that Mr. Rog ers has ordered the mines closed down. No such order was ever given. The as sertion of Mr. Fritz Augustus Heinze that Mr. Rogers did this to get a chance to speculate in stocks is likewise a malicious lie and falls with the other. "Mr. Heinze's purpose must be evident to everybody. To escape responsibility he resorts to the way which to him seems most natural, that of inventing and pub lishing lying statements about others."
