. Heinze in his ; HEINZE HAS PLAN MAKES COUNTER PROPOSITION TO THE BUTTE MINERS’ UNION. SCHEME TO SETTLE DISPUTES OFFERS TO SELL STOCK TO THE MINERS AT COST WITH INTEREST. LEAVE DISPUTES 10 COMMITTEE WHOSE DECISIONS ON CONTRO- VERTED POINTS SHALL BE BINDING. Butte, Mont.. Oct. 28. — From the steps of the county court house in this city F. Augustus Heinze, yesterday afternoon addressed a mass meeting of the miners of Butte, over 15,000 persons being in attendance. As the representative of John MacGinnis, Mr. speech made a counter proposition to the offer of the Butte miners’ union to purchase Mr. Mac- Ginnis’ stock in the Boston and Mon- tana and Parrott Mining companies, and thus end.the litigation with the’ Amalgamated Copper company. After his address, Mr. Heinz had thousands of printed circulars dis- tributed upon the streets of the city. The circular, which is identical in subject with the oral proclamation made by Heinze at the mass meeting, follows: “John MacGinnis purchased the 100 shares of st in the Boston and neers jana comp: the cost of $200 per share. in the Parrott company . MacGinnis and Lamm, bout $35 per share. John MaeGinni offered in 1899, and at several time: in the Boston and Montana com- pany.

President Scallon char- acterized the proposition of Mr. Heince as astounding and ridiculous and unworthy of consideration. Mrs. Harroun on Trial. Stevens Point, Wis., Oct. 28.—The trial of Mrs. Jennie Harroun on the charge of murdering her husband, Walter Harroun, at Arnott in April last by strychnine poisoning, was opened in the circuit court yesterday, Judge C. M. Webb presiding. The de- fense presented an affidavit of preju- dice on the part of the trial judge, and it was decided to call in Judge Hast- ings of Green Bay, who will continue the case? As the parties are prom- inent and the evidence wholly circuin- stantial, the interest is great. JUDGE CLANCY IN DANGER. But His Decision to Abandon His Hunting Trip Creates Bitter Feeling. Butte, Mont., Oct. 27.—The most im- portant development in the copper; war situation was the fact that Judge William Cianey decided to forego his intention of shooting elk while thou sands of idle miners are looking to him for whatever relief is possible. Judge Clancy stated that he will not leave the city and will do all he can to expedite the appeal] from his de- cision to the supreme court. A local committee of the miners’ union called on the judge yesterday afternoon and had a long consultation with him on the subject of postponing his hunting trip. The judge had already informed | Mayor Mullins that he had decided to give up the trip. The fact that a number of armed men were around the depot Saturday night, when it was | reported the judge intended leaving | the city, caused the mayor to take extra precautions looking to the p sonal protection of Judge Claney. | Mayor Mullins said that he would} employ 500 special policemen if he | found that the situation warranted it. | The announcement of Judge \Clancy’s | abandonment of his hunting trip has} apparently had a soothing influence. Last evening telegrams were sent from Great Falls to Senator Clark in this city, Gov. Toole at Helena and Representative Joseph Dixon at Wash- ington, and J. J. Hill, president of the Great Northern, asking each if they would act with the other gentlemen named and Senator Gibson in an effort to mediate between the warring cop- per interests with a view to keeping | open the mines and smelters of the Amalgamated company. Favorable re- plies have been received from all of them. STRONG BOX CRACKED. Postoffice at Jewett Mills, Robbed. New Richmond, Wis., Oct. 27.—The strong box in the postoffice at Jewett Mills, a small town five miles east of here on the Wisconsin Central, was blown open last night. Nitroglycerine was used in a manner that would in- dicate the work of professional | cracksmen. The contents of the safe | —$30 cash and about $25 in stamps; | A remarkable feature of the robbery | is that not a thing in Postmaster J. sie Wis., Is; Monahan’s saloon seems to have bee disturbed. The robbers left behind stick of dynamite. TAMPER WITH INDIANS. Efforts Made at Cass Lake to Under. mine Morris Law. Cass Lake, Miun., Oct. 27.—Proof of ! the statements that a concerted effort was being made by the enemies of the Morris law to have that measure amended to such an extent that it would be eventually repealed, has beén secured the past week, at least | two emissaries of the interested per+ sons having been among the Indians, inciting them against the provisions of the law, especially that section for the cutting of the pine timber where- in it is required that the debris shall be removed and destroyed.

FULL HOUSE AT REFORMATORY. There Is Little Room for More at sti Cloud. The state reformatory- at St. Cloud has the largest number of inmates in the history of the institution. There were 240 men and 2 women in the in- stitution last Wednesday, when a monthly meeting was held, as com- pared with 192 inmates in 1902 and 138 in 1900. The present cell capacity of the reformatory is only 264, so that additional room will have to be pro- vided if many more offenders are sent there, There has been a marked growth in the population in the last few months. {t has steadily increased notwithstand- ing the fact that from seven to twelve men are released every month on parole. J. Z. Barneard, prison agent of the state board of control, attributes the increase in number to the growth of Minnesota’s population, to the fact that at the fall terms of court more offenders are sentenced than in the spring, and to the further fact that work is scarce and fewer men can be placed on parole. “It is an invariable rule of the board of control not to put a man on parole unless a position can be found for him,” said Mr. Barncard. “Now, as a rule, we do not have any trouble in finding work for inmates, but if work is scarce fewer men are paroled. “Work is not as plentiful now as it was in the summer and spring. Here- tofore we have put many men in fac- cories, and we still place men there, nut the number is not so large as be- |ore, for the reason that many men are {ooking for work who have not a crim- faal record, and consequently are hired before the inmate from the reforma- fory. ‘ “We have got to see that inmates fecure positions that keep them busy. Nothing in the world will drive a man to crime so soon as idleness.” CURE WHERE HE GETS DISEASE. Interstate Agreement About Insane Transients. D. A. Lindsay, the new state agent of the state board of control, is trying to secure an agreement with North and South Dakota by which transient inhabitants who become insane shall be taken care of by the state in which the person loses his mind. A rule to this effect is intended to rover transient laborers, who have no particular home, but who work in the harvest fields of the Dakotas in the 3ummer and the lumber camps of Min- aesota in the winter. Harvest hands of the Dakotas who become insane are aot infrequently sent back to Minneso- ta on the ground that they worked in 2 lumber camp here in the previous winter. Under the same principle Min- aesota might send back to North Da- kota the lumbermen who became in- sane here for the reason that in the previous summer they worked in that state. Transient laborers of this class fur- nish a large proportion of the insane, it is said, and there is considerable need of a definite understanding among states in which these persons work. In Minnesota the laborers usual: ly become insane in the spring after they have finished work and probably spent their money. In the Dakotas likewise, the harvest hands become in sane in the fall after the harvest hat been closed. ‘ Minnesota is, willing to care for hei own insane, but the state is not wili ing to care for the insane that belong elsewhere. PROCEEDS FROM TIMBER SALE tate Auditor Sells Ninety Millior Feet at More Than $7 a Thousand. Approximately $650,000 was received by the state in the auction sale of 90, 000,000 of timber on state lands in the northern’ part of the state. It is esti- mated that the state has thus realized $130,000 more than the figure fixed by the appraisers. One lot of timber sold for $11.25 a thousand, $5.35 more than the appraised price. The averags price was more than $7 a thousand. Peter Grant of Chisholm paid the highest price, $11.25, for 3,300,006 feet. A. H. Powers of Minneapolis bought 750,000 feet at $9. Other large buyers were the Split Rock Lumber company, Alger-Smith company, Red Cliff Lumber company, Scott-Grafft Lumber company, Cook & Turrish and John McAlpine, Duluth; Tower Lum- ber company, Tower; Cloquet Lumber company, Cloquet; Meshek Lumber company, Chisholm; Pine Tree Lum- ber company, Little Falls: Brook- Seanlon company, Shevlin-Carpenter company, Itasca Lumber company and Backus-Brooks company, Minneapolis. Practically all the timber was sold except the largest lot containing 500,- 000 feet, appraised at $7. This timber is on section 15, township 54, range 12. There were no bidders. Several small lots of spruce and cedar poles were not sold. REMAINS ARE IDENTIFIED. Anoka, Minn., Oct. 27,—The identity of the man found in a marsh north east of Anoka has been found to be A. Solen, an old man who came tc Anoka county from Southern Illinois about a year ago. He was missed about Aug. 1, and it was supposed he had gone to some other place. He was identified by his gray beard and by the fact that every pocket was ful! of green crabapples, which he was in the habit of carrying with him for consumption. MANY WOLVES KILLED. Bounty on 6935 Since April — More Than During Entire Previous Year. The state auditor has received since last April applications for bounties on 695 wolves. This is 53 more than the number of animals on which bounty was paid in the entire year ending July 31, 1902. The bounties on the 695 wolves amount to $1,471.50. Of this sum $770, representing 472 animals, has been paid, and the remaining sum, $701.50, 89 wolves and 34 cubs, will be paid this month. Under the new law, which went into effect April 9, a bounty of $7.50 is given for full-grown wolves and $1 for cubs. This applies to every month in the year, whereas, before, a female wolf killed between January and May brought $15 and $5 at any other time. Before female cubs brought $4 and male cubs $2. Fillmore county leads the list in the number of applications under the new law, having already received bounty for 62 animals. Murray is next with 38 and Wabasha third with 35. Other counties have applications for animals as follows: Lincoln, 33; Marshall, 32; Otter Tail, 20; Stearns, 16; Wadena, 9; Ramsey, 5. Bounties have been paid as follows under the new law: Fillmore, $68.50; Morrison, 61.50; Wabasha, $54.50 Lincoln, $52.50; Rock, $48; Marshall, $45; Roseau, $43.50; Murray, $88; Goodhue, $36.50; Anoka, $32.50; Becker, $30; St. Louis, $30; Scott, $28; Wright, $27.50; Lac qui Parle, $25; Norman, $18.50; Jack- son, $16.50; Nobles, $15; Stevens, $13.50; Mower, $13; Ramsey, $11.50; Chisago, $11.50; Kandiyohi, $10.50; Grant, $7.50; Mille Lacs, $7.50; Swift, 37; Blue ‘Harth, $7; Renville, $6; Brown, $4. FORTUNE IN SHADE TREES. State Pays $600,000 to Tree Planting. Minnesota has paid $600,000 since 1873 to encovrage the planting of trees in prairie districts. Few states in the Union have expended a larger sum for this purpose. It is estimated that from 50,000 to 100,000 acres have been planted with trees in the last thirty years . Most of this tree planting has been done west and south of what is called the Big Woods, which run south from Otter Tail county, through Douglas, Stearns, Meeker, Carver, Le Sueur, Waseca and into Freeborn. The trees have been planted in patches of less than ten acres, largely to form wind- brakes and beautify farms and coun- try residences. Cottonwood and box elder are favor- ite trees for this purpose. These trees grow very rapidly and in ten or fifteen years reach an altitude of a dozen feet. Spruce and ash are sometimes used and are highly recommended by experts on forestry. Experts say farmers should plant strips ot willows about the tract for shelter. The state gives a bounty of $2.50 an acre. No one person, however, can receive bounty for more than ten acres, and it is discontinued after six years. Until the lqst legislature the trees had to be planted eight feet apart, but under the new law the dis- tance is twelve feet. Encourage MINNESOTA HAS NO WEAK SPOTS One of the Few States Showing Growth in Every County. Minnesota is one of the twelve states and territories in the United States in which every county in- creased its population in the last ten years, according to a pamphlet re- ceived by state officers from the census office at Washington. The oth- er states and territories are Rhode Island, Delaware, the District of Columbia, West Virginia, South Caro- lina, Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Montana, Utah and Arizona. Large areas in South Dakota, Ne- braska, Kansas ‘and Missouri and parts of Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois show a falling off in population. In Nevada counties covering one-third of the whole area lost in poulation. Eleven counties in California are in the same class. Only six states show a greater in- crease in population than Minnesota. They are New York, Pennsylvania, Mlinois, Texas, Massachusetts and Ohio. Minnesota also ranks eleventh in percentage increase, the first. ten being Oklahoma, Indian Territory, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Wyom- ing, Washington, Arizona, Texas and Florida. Minnesota increased in pop- ulation at the rate of 33.7 per cent. MONEY FOR SCHOOLS. State Treasurer Sends Out Some Big Checks to the Counties. Checks for $811,000 were mailed from, the state treasurer’s office to the eighty-three county auditors. These checks are for the October schcol apportionment, at the rate of $2 for each pupil attending forty days last winter. The law requires the county auditor to place this apportion- ment to the credit of the different school districts this week. Most of the counties have an additional fund to add to the state distribution, and the auditors will make a redistribution to the districts of the total amount on a rer capita basis. KILLS. — 5 he ay Terrible Tragedy in Indiana Result of Domestic Felicity. Marion, Ind., Oct. 27. — Jesse Me Clure, a farm hand, murdered his twa ns, aged five and seven years, yes- terday afternoon, leaving their bodies in a fence corner. While a mob was ferming to capture and lynch McClure he drove on a run to this city and gave himself up, He has been secreted by the authorities who fear attempted violence. McClure lived near Frankton and bad separated from his wife a year ago, she refusing to live with him, and returning with her children to her father’s home. At noon yesterday McClure hired a rig at Elwood and drove to the Kilgore farm, the owner being Mrs. McClnre’s father. He found the children playing in the front yard, and induced them with candy to take a ride with him. He drove a mile up the road, carried the children to a fence corner and Shot Them With a Revolver. © The older one was found dead a few minutes later and the younger was dying, a piece of candy being still in ais mouth. McClure fied and was pur- sued by a crowd of young farmers dent on deadly vengeance. The alarm was given and from all surrounding towns armed pursuers started. Mc- Clure succeeded in reaching the jail here without being stopped and the authorities have hidden him away. {tense excitement prevails. To the jail turnkey McClure ad- mitted the murder of his two children 2ad said he had killed them because his wife had left him and refused to see him. Said he: “When she refused to see me I de- sided to be revenged, and drove down the read to a little clump of trees. My two children were asleep in the buggy. When I stopped the jolt awoke the little boy, Dee. He looked ap to me and said: ‘Papa, what are you going to do?’ “I put my hand over his eyes and cook my gun from my pocket and shot iim in the forehead, Killing Him Instantly. | _ The shot awoke little Homer and I cook him by the shoulder and fired a shot into his head. They beth fell to the bottom of the buggy. I drove the 1orse to the side of the road and lifted both bodies out and laid them out on che withered grass. I then drove di- rectly to Marion to the jail and am aeré to give myself up. “The neighbors will lynch me when shey find out what I have done. I do aot care what you do with me. I am ready to die and expect to hang for this crime. All that I ask is to see ny dear little ones buried.” Late last evening it was learned chat a mob was being formed to come 0 Marion to lynch McClure. Deputy Sheriff Williams spirited the murderer away from the jail and took him to (ndianapolis. STRAT A REVOLT. Revolutionary Forces in Colombia Begin Operations, Panama, Oct. 27.—It is known Here that a revolutionary force consisting of about seventy men, landed on or about Oct. 11 at Catalina, the port at che mouth of the Calovebora, on the Atlantic coast of Colombia, and after 1aving traveled a certain distance into che interior, returned torthe coast and narched toward Penonome. This expedition, according to in- formation in the hands of Gov. Dbaldia, is under the leadership of Federico Barrera, Lugo and Juana Antonio Caicedo. Barrera was one of he Liberal revolutionists who tcok gart in the capture of Colon in 1901; “ugo wag one of the military chiefs in ‘h® Domingo Diaz expedition of 1901, which was defeated by forces undér che late Gen. Carlos Alban after con- siderable fighting along the railroad »etween here and Colon. Nothing is snown of Caicedo. 5 Rebels Disappointed. It is believed that the revolutionistd vere expecting reinforcements, but that they were disappointed in find ng them and consequently returned to the coast. The telegraph lines on che isthmus are working well and the 3overnment has been able to follow ul the movements of the enemy. Government forces under Maj. Tas- con have sailed on the transport fwenty-First of November, formerly the Padilla, to chase the insurgents. The enemy has had to travel through . rough and wild country, and it is not yelieved that they will be able to stand before the well disciplined’ troops under Maj. Tascon. Little im+ portance is attached to the movement. Liberals Oppose It. This outbreak does not appear to lave occurred with the indorsement of Liberals in Panama, several of whom aave protested against it, and have offered their services to Gov. Obaldia, Advices received by the governor trom the departments of Cauca and Bolivar state that Generals Diaz. Morkun and Buendia and other prom- inent Liberal leaders purposed start- ing a revolutionary movement but were arreested before they were able 2» do so. For some weeks past there haye been rumors from more or less relie: '\ ble quarters of an approaching revo- ‘utionary movement in Colombia. The political horizon of the country {8 clouded and there are many signs of anrest arising probably from the dis- cussion and opposition to the canal project and approaching presidential campaign and the heavy deficit in the ‘reasury. Prof. Robert H. Thurston, director of the Sibley college of engineering, Cornell university, died suddenly at tis home en the campus. |
