New Castle, Wyo., Nov. a.-Sheriff W.
W. Miller of Weston county and one of
his posse, named Fossenburg, are dead as
a result of a fight with as wagon loads of
Sioux Indians Saturday, three miles be
low Beaver Dam, on Lightning Creek,
Converse county. The Indians were from
the Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies in
South Dakota and were violating the game
laws of the state.
The sheriff's posse rounded up the red
skins Saturday and demanded their sur
render. The Sioux, who were from the
Pine Ridge agency, opened fire and a
sharp fight ensued, in which Fossenburg
was instantly killed and Sheriff Miller
mortally wounded, dying half an hour later.
His body was brought to New Castle
by the remainder of the posse this morn
ing. Members of the posse report that at
least six Indians were killed and several
wounded, among the latter being Chief
Eagle Feather, who is being brought here
a prisoner.
A new and large posse has started after
the Indians, who are in the country sur
rounding the scene of the first fight and
another battle is expected if the Indians
again refuse to surrender.
May Order Militia.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 2.-Governor
Chatterton is waiting for additional Infor
mation before ordering troops to the scene
of troubles with the Indians. The governor
has called on the commission of Indian af
fairs to assist in bringing the murderers
to justice. He will also insist that no
more Indians be permitted to leave their
reservations to hunt in Wyoming.
Utuler the law every Indian outside of
the state must take out a gun license
which costs $50o and go with a professional
guide when they hunt.
It is held that every Indian who fails to
do this violates the laws and the general
government as guardian of the red men is
responsible to the state for the payment
of the license.
The present trouble has been brewing
for a long time and now that the Indians
are aroused it is feared there will be a
serious outbreak before they are made to
undulerstand that the laws must be re
spected.
HIVE BLOWN TO BITS
IGNORANT ITALIANS EXPLODE POW
DER IN A CUT ON THE
GREAT NORTHERN.
Kalispell. Nov. s.-Disobedience of or
ders caused the death of five men on the
Columbia Falls cut-off near Hayden Fri
day. The men were in charge of Peter
Peterson, foreman for P. Walsh, and were
engaged in blasting out rocks in a deep
cut.
A large shot had been put and the fore
man was called away to a different sec
tion of the works before it was fired. The
hole was to be set and before leaving
Peterson ordered the men entrusted with
the job, not to use the iron rod, but to
clear out the dirt by hand.
When Peterson returned shortly he saw
the man using the heavy iron rod, hut be
fore he could interfere the shot exploded.
Five Italians, all who were in the cut,
were killed, Their bodies were badly
mangled and torn and the rod man was
blown to pieces.
Rescuers found not a man alive who
happened to be in the narrow cut, which
received the full force of the explosion.
Two of the bodies were buried at Hayden,
the others being shipped to Sopkane, where
the families reside.
The terrible accident caused the utmost
excitement among the other workmen, sev
eral of whom quit work in preference to
working along side of men ignorant of
handling powder, and Foreman Peterson,
who has 20 years experience, gave up his
job.

HOLDS COMPANY IS
SUBJECT TO HIS
MANDATES
JUDGE KNOWLES, IN THE FEDERAL
COURT, REFUSES TO C "'N
TENANCE EVASION.
Bulletin, 3:45 p. m.-After hearing
the testimony of members of the survey
Ing party the court granted the Butte
& Boston company the right to remove
the loose dirt blocking the entrance to
the secret crosscut, and also granting
21 days in which to complete the ex
amination. If the Montana Ore Pur
chasing company will not hoist the dirt
through the Rarus shaft the surveying
party will have it taken through the
MIountain View.
Judge Knowles overruled the motion of
the Johnstown Mining company of New
York this morning to be excluded from
the inspection order granted to the Butte
& Boston company, allowing the latter to
survey the underground workings of the
Michael Devitt claim through the Penn
sylvania. Rarua and Johnstown workings.
C. W. Blair, representing the Johns
town company, interposed the contention
that as the Johnstown company was a
corporation organized under the laws of
New York and was a stranger to the in
junction proceedings between the M. O. P.
company and the Butte & Boston.
The court would not consider the mat
ter in that light and told the attorneys
that it was a well known fact that the
Johnstown was a part of the M. O. P.
company, and that its organization did
not in any way relieve it from the juris
diction of the court, nor from responsi
bility of the injunction issued.
In opening the hearing this morning
Mr. Forbis. for the Butte & Boston, read
the affidavits of Messrs. Winchell, Moul
throp, Pope and Finnegan, the surveying
party who have been trying to enter the
workings for the purpose of inspection.
The affidavits stated that the party had
attempted to carry out the court's order,
but had been unable to do so owing
to the harrassment and intimidation of
the M. O. P. company's agents in the
disputed territory. They had learned
enough while underground, Ihowever, to
convince them that the M. O. P. com
pany was mining ore from the Devitt and
was filling up the secret crosscut to pre
vent entrance into the ground and ascer
taining what was doing in the Devitt.
Judge McHlatton arose when the notice
of service of summons was read and
asked that he be allowed to deny that he
had acknowledged service on behalf of
the Johnstown company of New York.
It was then that Mr. Blair, assisted by
Robert Wedekind, announced that he
would, on the part of the Johnstown com
pany, resist the making of the Johnstown
a party to the injunction and order of
survey proceedings on the ground that
the court had no jurisdiction.
"It seems to me, your honor," announced
Mr. Forbis of the counsel for the plaia
tiff, "that there is absolutely no grounds
for the contention of the Johnstown com
pany for the reason that this company was
organized in August, z9o3, solely for the
purpose to hide the depredations of the M.
O. P. company and to defeat the injunc
tion secured against the latter company
prohibiting the mining of ore in the
Michael Devitt. The claim that is em
braced in the Johnstown company was a
part of the M. O, P. company ground and
is therefore still subject to that injunction,
he it the Johnstown or any other com
pany."
After hearing arguments on both sides,
the court said:
"Well, I am of the opinion that the
Johnstown is in privity with the Montana
Ore Purchasing company. It purchased
the property there from the Montana Ore
Purchasing company and it purchased it
pending the suit-purchased it after this
injunction was issued against removing the
property. Now, there is a contention
that this is an entirely distinct property
the Michael Dcvitt is front the Johnstown,
or this piece of ground purchased from the
Johnstown. The truth is, in the litigation
about that, it was claimed that the vein
having its apex in this very ground ex
tended into the Michael Devitt and formed
a part of this Rarus or Johnstown claim;
that is what the contention was in the
suit-andI that it is not a question ex
actly of putishing for contempt the Johns
town Mining company at this time, but it
is for the purpose of examination; it is in
the nature of a bill of discovery and it
takes the place of a bill of dliscovery, and
under the decision of the supreme court of
the United States, you have a right to pro
ceed in this summary way. It is said that
you are entering and taking possession of
this property, but that nlight be said of the
Rarus-that you are entering the property
of the Rarus, and it is a party to the liti
gation, IIere is an order to enter the
Rarus at a point that is not in litigation
at all, that you might proceed to the
Michael Devitt claim that is not in litiga
tio,; see where the openings are, to see if
ore has been extracted front the Michael
)Devitt, and taken out in that way from the
Rarus. And there is a claimn of interrup
tion of possession. That very matter was
considered by the supreme court of the
United States in tllhis D)rum LTummon-St.
,Louis case that went up from Helena; they
said there that the interruption would be
hut a short time of the possession and that
it was proper.
"Of course, the court is not going to or
der that there he any permanent digesting
of the parties of possession, and it is not
going to order that they go to any particu
lar expense, if there is any expense, the
parties making the examination must incur
the expense. But this is not only adopting
the statutes of the State of Montana in this
particular, but it is adopting a former rule
in equity in regard to discovering evidence,
and that is what the supreme court of the
United States decides in the case, that the
federal court has got a perfect right to or
der an inspection made in that wpy, to see
whether or not their orders have been vio
lated by the other parties, to find out
whether ore has been taken out for which
damages can be recovered, and I will over
rule the objection to the application."
E. J, Finnegan, one of the inspection
party who were denied entrance into the
Rarue shaft, took the stand and testified

SPEScIA. TO THE INTER MOUNTAItN.
Great Falls, Nov. .-'Senator Paris
Gibson, a menrber of the mediation com
mittee which met in Butte two days last
week with Senator Clark, Governor Tools
and President J. J. Hill in an endeavor
to bring about a settlement between the
Amalgamated and the United Copper
company, in order that the property of
the former company might start up, this
afternoon gave out the following au
thorized interview on the situation in
Montana and its remedy:
"I am entirely willing to state my in
dividual opinion as to the action we
should take at this time in view of the
entire closing down of the works of the
Amalgamated Copper company in Mon
tans," said Senator Gibson, "but wish it
distinctly understood that I am not
speaking for the mediation committee,
on which I had the honor to aot as a
member.
"In the first place I may state that
political considerations do not and will
not influence me in the least as to any
suggestions I may make."
"The fact that Mr. Heinze was my
friend and assisted greatly in my election
to the United States senate and that the
Amalgamated Copper company, on the
contrary, has been and even in the last
election was my political enemy, will not
influence mec in the least as to my opinion
of the course to be pursued by the people
of ,Montana at this most distressing
time.
"It is my belief that the extensive works
of the Amalgamated company are now
closed down solely because the company
during the smanly years of litigation have
not received justice in the courts of Sil

BY ASSOCIATED IPRIfSR.
New York, Nov. a.-Today, the las day
before the election, opened very quietly
as to politics and the chief activity was
manifested in newpaper publicity and the
flood of mails afloat from the political
headquarters containing the last appeals
and arguments for votes. Predictions and
estimates were given out in final form by
the leaders, the published figures varying
but little from those of last week and the
inside estimates, it is reported on good
authority, still going to show that the re
sult will be exceedingly close, with not
more than 15,ooo majority either way.
Charles Murphy adhered to his predic
tion of loo,ooo plurality for McClellan,
and J. J. Delaney, McClellan's personal
campaign manager, claimed his election by
85,oo0, based on majorities in every
borough, 7,ooo in Manhattan and the
Bronx, 5,000 in Brooklyn, 5,ooo in Queens
and i,8oo in Richmond.
Mr. Low's advisors, while claiming his
election by about 30,oo0, are said to lbe
looking for a majority of about as,ooo,
conceding 15,000 to McClellan in Manhat
tan and expecting 3,ooo majority for Low
in the Bronx, a5,ooo in Brooklyn, a,ooo in
Richmond and an even break in Queens,

VICTIM OF THE WRECK
SPI('lAL. TO THil INTER MOUNTtAIN.
Helena, Nov. 2.-The body of Edward
R. Rolbrtson, the football coach who was
killed in the Big Four wreck near Indian
apolis last Saturday, is expected to arrive
Wednesday at East Helena, where his
parents live. The funeral will be held
that afternoon. By a strange coincidence
his body will reach home on his 27th
birthday. His father, 1). O. Robertson,
is connected with the East Helena smel
ter. Young Robertsonl graduated from
the Helena Iligh school. He was always
prominent in football and baseball. Six
years ago Ihe entered Purdue university at.
Lafayette, Ind., and after graduating took
a position with a car company in New
York. Two weeks ago he came west on
a vacation and visiting his alma matei
agreed to 'go with the football team 'to
Indianapolis as a coach, when he, lost
his life in the terrible wreck. Besides
his parents living at East Helena he has
a brother in China. His relatives are
heartbroken over his untimely ead.
ver Bow county, in which their mines are
situated, and it is my belief that the
mins. and smelters of this company will
remaht closed until the state of Moln
t.nla shall give to theml an opportunity
for the trial of their law cases.
"It is my opinion that the governor
of our state should at once call our legis
lature together in extraordinary session,
after first having received proper assur
ances from the Amalgamated Copper coln
pany that their mines and smelters will
be immediately put in operation, provided
that the legislature in such extraordinary
session will enact a fair trial law andl
will pass a law making it obligatory upon
the supreme court to review the testimony
on the equity cases which will come be.
fore thetm on appeal."
"After having given personal attention
to this subject during the past week, I can
see no other way by whilh a most distress
ing conditioln of things in our state during
the coming winter can he avelted. The
legislative measures to which I refer, while
giving relief to the people of Montann. are
clearly in the line of fair dealing and are
for the interests of all of the people of
our state and are part off the statutes of
most of the states of the unioa.
"Should the legislature he called to
gether at once work will be resumed with
out delay, whereas any other planl or ar
ranlsletnt will involve a delay of uanlly
muaahs. It seems to me that every citicen
of Montana who has at heart the hIet iin
terests of our state and who desires to
avert much distress and loss during the
comining winter months should inldorse the
suggestion I have made for calling to
gyther the legislators of our state for this
specific purpose."

Frank Connolly, 27 years old, and I'cter

in the Albatross hotel at SheepshtLad

charged with arson on the strength of a
et. tement made by Barney Wolf, pro
prietor of a Raines law hotel at thei island.
Wolf says that on Friday Connolly and
Skelley in the presence of a: crowd said
that things were getting dull on the
island and they believed they would liven
things up with a fire. Wolf says he saw
them start a fire which he put ..ut.
Again yesterday, he asserts, they stiarted
a second fire, but lie arrived just as the
flalmes shot up and was unable to countrol
them as he had done on Friday and lie
gave the alarm. When he saw his own
place go up like tinder and heard that his
brother-in-la i, Albert RHbin, had his skull
fractured by leaping from a window to
save himself, he told the police of Connilly
and Skelley.
The story of the alleged incendiarism
was all over the island while the flalmes
were at their height, and feeling against
Connolly and Skelley ran high.
Today there is a great scarcity of food
on the island and hundlrels are sllfering
