MESSRS. MALONEY ET AL
Ask the Court to Modify the Injunction
Order—Other Court
Notes.
In the suit brought by Silas F. King,
Panics A. Murray and Marcus Daly
against J. H. Maloney, G. A. Cobban,
A. E. Driggs and C. P. Drennan in con
nection with the apex of the vein of the
Silver King property, Judge Clancy sign
ed an order this morning requiring the
plaintiffs to appear in his chamber at 2
o'clock this afternoon and show cause
why the restraining order previously is
sued should not be so modified as to per
mit the defendants to do certain develop
ment work on the Plymouth claim in
order to show up their side of the case.
The order was based on the affidavit of
Mr. Maloney, which stated that the de
fendants in the action had been restrain
ed from doing the work on the vein
which they claimed apexed wholly with
in the lines of the Plymouth claim and
extended downward into the Silver King.
It also stated 'that the defendants had
sunk a shaft 100 feet on the foot-wall of
the vein apexing within the lines of the
Plymouth and about connected it with
upraises made in the lower workings.
The matter was not taken up today.
Complaints charging Louis Ferrari and
"Will erguson with petit larceny were
issued from the county attorney's office
today and filed in Justice Marsland's
court at Walkerville.
Marriage licenses were issued yester
day and today to the following persons:

In the matter of the suit brought
against John Devlin, L. S. Hatch, Mr.
Guthrie and the Silver Bow Jockey Club
to recover judgment f%- $91.75, post of
suit and an attorney's fee of $100, the
first named defendant has filed an an
swer in which he denies all the allega
tions of the complaint. The action was
Instituted to recover the value of mater
ial sold the jockey club promoters or
someone else to be used in the composi
tion of the improvements at the new race
course south of the city. Mr. Devlin de
nies tht the plaintiff sold him any of
the material or that he agreed to pay
any of it. He also says he has no inter
est describes in the complaint.
Maggie Brogan has brought suit
against Daniel Doherty to recover judg
ment for $634, which she alleges Doherty
owes her for board and lodging, mending
his clothing and for money loaned him
between June 13, 1896, and June 27, 1899.
She alleges in her complaint that the
total of the bill was $S64, but Doherty
paid $230.
In the suit of the Anaconda Mining
Company against the Montana Ore Pur
chasing Company, Hickey Bros, and
John M. Steward, defendants Michael A.
Hickey, Edward Hickey and Mr. Stew
ard have asked the court to enter judg
ment In their favor on the ground that
their answer contains new matter and
the plaintiff has failed to reply or demur
to it, which fact entitles them to such
judgment. The whole matter will be
aired before Judge Lindsay next Satur
day.
Joseph Edge, Peter Gallagher and
James Hartt, appraisers of the estate of
Fred W. Caplice in Flathead county,
made their return in the district court

in the same section. The property is
valued at $8 an acre by the appraisers,
the total amount of the Caplice interest
being $3,200.
The value of the estate of Anna E.
Irvine as appraised by J. D. Slemons,
P. A. Gamer and F. D Alley was filed
in the district court today. It totals
$4,588.05. but there is some property the
value of which could not be determined.

The Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
Company is suing the Butte General
Electric Company for $130.50 damages al
leged 'to have been caused by the destruc
tion of telephone instruments as a re
sult of crossed wires on Nov. 17 last year,
The plaintiff alleges that the defendant
was on that date taking down some of
Its Main street poles and permitted its
Wires to strike the telephone wires.
THE COPPER MARKET.
Engineering and Mining Journal: Con
sumers continue to show very little in
terest In the market and even at the
lower quotations for lake, there is not
much inclination to buy. It has trans
pired that lake copper a week ago was
■old by first hands at ISc, and more is
I
1
offeree} thereat, but even at the lower
figure we cannot hear of any business
being transacted. We quote the market
17% to 18c. Electrolytic copper shows
no material change and has to be quoted
17c for cakes, bars or ingots. It ap
pears that the wide diffrence between the
two ■ descriptions which has existed for
many months would to a certain extent
now disappear. Cathodes we have to
quote 16% to 16%c, while casting copper
is nominal at 17c.
The foreign market continues fairly
steady, with a continued good defhand
for fine copper, most of which has been
met by European refiners, who are sell
ing somewhat below the parity of Am
erican producers. A continued good de
mand is reported. The speculative mar
ket has again been somewhat unsettled,
mostly on account of the high money
rates ruling abroad as well as the un
settled} political outlook and prices for
the week show a decline of about 15s.
Spot copper opened at £75 10s and closes
at £74 17s 6d for spot, and 5s higher for
three months prompt.
Refilled and manufactured we quote:
English tough, #78 15s to £79 15s; best
selected, £80 10s to £81: strong sheets.
£87 10s to £88: India sheets, £84 10s to
£85; yellow metal, 6% to 7d.
The statistical position continues to
improve and the visible supplies at the
middle of this month were cabled as be
ing smaller by 2,200 tons than at the end
of September.
FAY KOHL'S CONDITION.
HE IS VERY LOW—MEDALS THAT
SHOULD BE RETURNED.
Fay Kohls, the boy-soldier of Company
D, who is ill of typhoid fever at the
Southern hotel, was reported as dying
this morning. An Inter Mountain re
porter called at the Southern this after
noon and ascertained this report to be
untrue, although the boy is very low.
His father and mother are with him con
stantly, and Senator Mantle, on behalf of
the executive committee, has taken the
matter in hand and will see to it. that
the sick soldier has everything neces
sary for his recovery.
The senator stated this afternoon that
all of the soldiers who came home sick
had been placed in the hospitals, and
would be cared for tenderly until their
recovery. He will give the matter his
personal attention.
The senator also stated that some of
the ladies have in their possession a
number of the medals of honor, which
should! be returned to the committee at
once, its the number of the medals was
limited to the number of soldiers in the
regiment and those who keep them are
simply depriving some brave soldier of
the medal which he has won by long
service at the peril of his life. No more
can be had as the die from which they
were Stamped has been destroyed and
the ladies who have them are urged to
return them to the committee as soon
as possible.
Six rough rider medals were given by
mistake to members of K company of
Anacotula. The soldiers who have them
are requested to return them and ex
change them for volunteer medals, the
kind to which they are entitled.

Man Assaulted With an Ax in
Park Canyon.
HIS HEAD BADLY CUT
Assailant Dealt the Blow From Behind
Trouble For Grocery
Men.
A complaint charging Baptiste Strozzi.
a vender of milk, residing on a ranch
near Park canyon, with assault in the
first degree, was issued from the county
attorney's office this afternoon and filed
in Justice Harrington's court. The
charge was made by L. G. Parrin, who,
with his brother, also lives near the can
yon. The complainant told Roy S. Alley,
the deputy attorney, that about 10 o'clock
Monday night L. Parrin. his brother; M.
Machette and another man were driving
past Strozzi's ranch in a wagon when
Strozzi came out and stopped them. They
talked awhile and the wagoners started
to drive on, but just as they did so
Strozzi stepped up to the rear of the
vehicle and dealt L. Parrin a blow on
the back of the head with an ax. Parrin
was badly injured, his scalp being cut
and his skull crushed.
Some time ago L. Parrin was assaulted
while passing through the canyon, and
although he could not positively identify
the man that did the deed, he has al
ways suspected that Strozzi had some
thing to do with it. On that occasion he
was also badly injured.
Tt is possible that Parrin will lose his
life from the effects of the wound he re
ceived Monday night.
I
!
About a dozen complaints accusing
grocers of selling liquor without a retail
license were issued by the county attor
ney late this afternoon. It is said that
in three or four of the twelve the Liquor
Dealers' association, which instigated the
raid, has evidence sufficient to convict
without trouble, as none of the parties
possess any kind of a license.
The case of the state against W. E.
Webb, one of the druggists accused of
having sold liquor at retail without a
license, was dismissed by Justice Nichols
this aftenoon. All the suits have been
fixed up up in fact, the druggists hav
ing signed an agreement to never again
sell liquor in the manner charged.
ÜJGN0 A KILLER.
LOVES TO SEE THE RED BLOOD
FLOW.
R. Cugno, an Italian, made a desperate
attempt to kill a man named Martin
Erickson in a cigar stoic conducted by
George Skellins at No. 40 East Park
street. The row occurred early this
morning, and Erickson, although badly
used up, was able to appear at police
headquarters and make complaint
against his blood-thirsty assailant. Oug
no was taking no chances, and was about
to leave the city on a freight train this
afternoon when Chief of Police Laved
and Captain Leyden, who were on the
lookout for him, arrested him.
Cugno, Erickson, a negro named Tyler
and David Banish were in Slcellin's
place, early this morning and while the
negro talked to divert the attention of
the others Cugno proceeded to help him
self to boxes of cigarettes and cigars.
Barrish who had charge of the place, saw
him and demanded that he return the
stolen articles. Tyler, the negro, knock
ed Barrish down and was kicking him,
when Erickson interfered, and the negro
was receiving the worst of the encoun
ter when Cugno came to his rescue with
a long knife, which he used on Erickson
with terrible effect. One cut in the
back of Erickson's neck is two inches
deep. There are half a dozen gashes on
his neck and head, and how he escaped
being killed is a wonder. When he
thought he had finished his man Cugrio
fled, and it was late this afternoon when
the officers, who havç been looking for
him all day, found him.

NITRO-GLYCERINE.
Nitro glycerine and its peculiarities are
little known, even in localities where it
is made, says the Indianapolis Journal.
People generally give it a wide berth, and
even a less number know how it is man
ufactured. Probably in no place in the
Umited States is there such a great
amount of tlie explosive used as in the
Indiana oil fields. Indiana has four
nitro-glycerine factories — two near
Montpelier, Black ford county; one at
Bluffton and one at Knightstown. The
Findlay Glycerine Company and the F.
G. Garthwait Company have their fac
tories on the Spaulding farm, two miles
out of Montpelier, and they are seldom
visited by curious people.
The explosive is made from a composi
tion of acids and glycerine. It is gen
erally pale yellow in color, and quite col
orless when pure. It is odorless, and has
a sweet, pungent, aromatic flavor. If
touched by one's tongue, or even brought
into contact with the skin, it will pro
duee a severe headache. A large tank,
called an agitator, is where the fluid is
mixed, and the mixture is composed of
equal parts of nitric and sulphuric acid.
Inside the tank are several paddles, like
those of a churn, and it is here that the
real danger in the manufacture exists.
The paddles are put in operation and a
steady' stream of sweet glycerine is turn
ed into a vat until 250 pounds ate thor
oughly mixed with the 1,500 pounds of
acid. The chemicals coming in contact
produce an intense heat, and in order
to obviate the danger cold water is run
through pipes encircling and running
through the vat. At 85 degrees Fahren
heit a red vapor, almost like fire, arises.
If cutting off the supply of gly
cerine in the agitator does not lower the
temperature, it is time to say farewell.
Before 90 degrees are reached nothing
hut atoms of the structure and its con
tents are left.
In its manufacture water is used to
flood the workroom, since a drop railing
on the floor might lead to explosion.
Not a nail is to be found in the floor of
the factory, and the visitor is cautioned
not to drag his feet. Those who make
the dangerous fluid say that a jar will
not cause an explosion; that friction ar.d
fire are the only agencies by which it
can be discharged. One may pour a bar
rel of nitro-glycerine from a high build
ing to a cement walk below and it will
not explode, but a small quantity of it
dropped from the same height in a can
will blow the building down. A sharp
concussion instantly touches it off. Fac

tories become useless after a few years'
operation and hag'e to be destroyed. The
timber becomes saturated with nitro
glycerine and an explosion, is imminent
at any tife.
The average production of glycerine
from 1,500 pounds of acid and 250 pounds
of glycerine is about 140 quarts. The
glycerine concerns in Ohio and Indiana
are in a trust, and the price within the
last few weeks has been advanced from
85 cents to 92 cents per quart. About
160 quarts constitute an average shot for
an Indiana oil well. While magazine
explosions are not rare, the real cause
of the blowing up never becomes known.
Those who are close enough to see the
cause always go up with the building.
The average time for a shooter or nitro
glycerine maker to remain in the busi
ness does not exceed five years. Death
is instant, and no one has ever recov
ered from a nitro-glycerine accident.
Bodies are torn to atoms no larger than
bits of sausage. Two years ago a ma
gazine in the northern part of Blackford
county went up. and George Hickok,
Harry Woods and two horses were prac
tically annihilated. The wages of em
ployes of the factories range from $125
to $150 a month.
Strange as it may seem, the man who
made and exploded the first pound of
nitro-glycerine in an oil well is hale and
hearty at 72 years of age. He is Col
onel William A. Myers, and his home is
at Bolivar, N. Y. He built the first fac
tory in the United States, hear Titusville,
Penn., in 1S6S. Up to that time powder
had been used to torpedo oil wells. It
"as then that an explosive that could
ho discharged under water, was found
in nitro-glycerine. Colonel Myers's fa
ther was a Philadelphia chemist and
taught his son how to make it. The first
well torpedoed was on Colonel Mills's
lease, near Titusville, and the charge con
sist <1 of only two pounds. Oil was
worth $9 a barrel then, and a torpedo that
would double the product.on of a well
was worth almost what the maker chose
to ask for it. Colonel Myers built twelve
different factories in different parts of
the oil regions from 1868 to 1885, when he
retired from the business. Only one of
the original factories stands intact to
day. Myers made several fortunes and
spent his money like a prince, hut, for
tunately for him. he still has a snug sum
laid by shooter's experience.
Well shooters spin great yarns of their
experiences, and tlie stories are of the
hair raising order. Well shooters gen
erally are fatalists to a considerable de
gree in their belief, and it is probably one
reason why they do not fear the fluid.
The state that when one would think it
was the most dangerous the explosive is
the safest. The smallest drop can be
Placed on an anvil and struck by the
heaviest sledgehammmer and the ham
mer will bouml back over the shoulder
of the striker no matter how much tie
may try to hold it. Some claim that it
will tear the arm off, but this is exag
geration. Transporting the explosive
from a magazine to a well is not as dan
gerous as timid people think, according
to the shooters. It is transported in
The Great Western Oak.
Packed joint base. The under
button and base top are each with
a peculiar glove, made to hold as
bestos rope packing. When this is
inserted and the parts belted to
gether a joint is formed that is fire
proof, air-tight and indestructible.
It is better than a base cast in one
piece, because expansion of either
part will not result in breakage.
The joint betvven the fire pot and
bast- top is made in the same man
ner. THE ASH PIT is deep and
massive and the ASH DOOR fits
upon a straight seat, perfecttly
tight. THE DRAUGHT VALVE is
operated by means of a screw and
hand wheel. Two complete turns
of the wheel release the screw and
permits the valve to be thrown
back, disclosing the opening for the
shaker. This obviates the necessity
for a shaker opening into the ash

square cans such as are used for var
nish. In preparing for shooting a well
a long tin shell is suspended in the tub
ing, and the shooter pours the fluid in as
if ;t was water. It is not unusual for
two hundred quarts to be in a well shoot
er's wagon on one trip. A slight leak
in a can may be touched off by friction
and explode the entire load. If it should
explode in the center of a town every
building would be reudeed instantly to
debris.
Ev-pr since the big explosion two miles
east of Montpelier people give the nitro
glycerine wagons and the magazines a
wide berth. A big hole in the ground,
probably 30 feet in diameter and 15 feet
deep in the center, marks the place where
the most disastrous nitro-glycerine ex
plosion of Indiana ever occurred. George
Hickok. who lost his life there, was the
oldest shooter in Indiana, and is said to
have held the record for the best time
in executing the dangerous task. There
* s I ?2, that he dropped the "go
devil" in more of Indiana's famous oil
wells than any shooter ever in the field.
Considering the danger he-encounters,
the shooter is poorly paid. The glycer
ine companies pay him 10 cents a quart
for doing the work which means he gets
from $9 to $16 for every charge he han
dles. Thousands of quarts of the treach
erous fluid are used every few weeks in
the old fields. If the tvglls were not
shot few in this section would be worth
the pumping, and the monthly report
would show a big shrinkage in produc
tion. .Ml the big pools of the crude pro
duct seem to have been drilled in, and
it is necessary to give them a shot to
insure and increase their production.
