All the evidence ad-| duced at to-day’s hearing would seem to place the blame entirely on the men employed by the Rarus Company. H. V. Winchell, head geologist for| the Amalgamated Copper Company, to- | day testified that he had discovered | vast amounts of hay in the “raise” just above the place where the Amalga- mated miners were working, and this, he declared, was burned, the stifling smoke being forced in on the Amalga- | mated men to prevent them from. car- rying out the orders of the United States court in making an examina- tion of the Michael Davitt mine to de- termine how much ore has been ille-| gally extracted from the mine. | At one stage of the proceedings Coun- | ty Attorney Peter Breen and L. Evans, attorney for the Heinze inter- ests, engaged in a dispute which threat- ened to develdp into a free fight. According to the testimony of Super- intendent Adams of the Boston and Montana Company and Foreman Moul- | trop of the Pennsylvania mine, on the day of the explosion the carpenters built a heavy door to preventjaccess to tHe Pennsylvania from the Rarus, and | the two men who were killed were fin- | ishing the job by calking up the cracks in and .around this door to keep out, | the smoke. Miners who worked with Dievel and | Oleson testified that from the time the| first hole was blasted into the old they were continually obstructed by men from above, avho threw rocks and other heavy material down the hole, fuses to scare them from their work. Many times, they testified, they were compelled to leave their work on ac- count of the smoke sent down from above, which blinded and choked them. | | e e ik | ELECTIONS ARE HELD BY UNIONS OF THIS CITY | MANY Labor Organizations Select by Ballot Men to Serve as Officers for , | Present Year. | Many elections have marked the last few days in labor eircles.

Reeves, a prosperous rancher of the Highwood country, twenty-seven miles east of Great Falls, was arrested in this city this afternoon on a complaint | sworn out before Justice Descombes in | Belt by George Gould, charging assault | in the second degree, and the arrest brought to light a sensational white- capping story which is so much out o!l the usual run of such procedures as to | be unique. Reeves was married several years ago to a young lady of this city, and one year ago his wife left him, securing a divorce in this town a couple of weeks ago on a cruelty charge. George Gould, a prosperous young farmer, owned the adjoining farm to Reeves, and when the wife of the latter se- cured a divorce Gould at once secured a purisse license and ten days ago the® couple were wed in Benton. It is alleged that Reeves took excep- tion to the marriage of Gould with his former wife and that a number of the neighbors were asked to join a white- capping party for the purpose of tar and feathering Gould. Some of those approached told Gould of the proposed outrage, Wednesday night last being fixed as the time. That night Gould took a Winchester and a box of cart- ridges and stationed himself in a pile of logs in front of his home to await the coming. Shortly, after 12 o'clock a crowd of about twenty-five whitecappers ap- peared and approached the house, and when hailed by Gould ordered him to come out or be killed. Gould replied by emptying his gun into the crowd, filling it and emptying it again, firing thirty-two shots in all. - The whitecappers were all masked and apparently armed, but evidently did not expect the shooting, as they fled in all directions without shooting back. In the first shooting one man was shot in the left arm and three others received wounds. The first man shot was taken to Belt Wednesday and yesterday arrived in this city and is now being looked for by the police; the other three men wounded are sup- posed to be in hiding and Sheriff Ben- ner and a couple of deputies are close on their trail. Bail for Reeves has not been fixed and he will be held in the county jail until Monday, when he will be taken to Beilt for a preliminary hearing. The only remark made by him when ar- rested was to the effect that Gould had managed to gather in both his wife and his farm and he now desired to make the job complete.

BIDS HIGH PRICE FOR “PARADISE LOST” American Makes an Offer of $250,000 for the Original Manu- seript. possession of the original manuseript of ‘Milton's “Paradise Lost” is be- coming quite an international question. A report that an American is prepared to offer $250,000 for it has created something akin to alarm. Many are the indignant correspondents who write to the papers in alarm at the nation allowing the manuscript to go to America. It is that, fail- ing in everything else, a national sub- scription of sixpences be raised to re- tain this interesting relic in the old country and make it the property of the nation, beyond the reach of for- eign curio hunters. he Reichstag, has bean the loes of eivil n"}'m‘l\"‘l’lwye.fl‘m?em(m rights for for - ing bills of exchange. - LONDON, Jan. 2.—The fight for the ADVERTISEMENTS.

The deposits increased $20.260.200, which | is greater by $1,920,200 than the sum of the increase in the loans and of the net gain in cash; the statement is therefore technically out of proof. ‘l'_hq ‘ reserve requirements were $5,0685,050, ng therefrom the net gain ?:dui:nd‘ll::re: $2,032,750 and the de- crease in surplus reserves to 39,540, $%5, computed upon the basis of de posits less those of $36,767,300 pub- lic funds, the surplus is $1%,733,725.
