Special to The Inter Mountain. Anaconda, June 17. This afternoon a deal was completed by which the celebrated John W. Blair ranch of 27,050 acres was sold to William T. Day, representing the Day Hanson Security company of Spokane, of which he is president.

The purchase price is not made public, but it is understood to be in the neighborhood of $300,000. The Blair ranch is located in the Nevada valley in the northern part of Powell county. It is a well improved place, and is a general ranching proposition. Both cattle and sheep are raised on the place. There is some timber, also, on the ranch.

Under the terms of the deal, Mr. Blair will remain as manager for the new purchasers until May 1910. The deal by which this great property was sold has been pending since early in the spring. It was understood at that time that an option had been given on it to Chicago men, but as they did not take it the Spokane men were very glad to get the ranch. The new owners have had their lawyers here for some time, looking over abstracts and other deals of the transfer.

It is said that the Spokane men will oper ate the ranch as it has been in the past for another year, after which their plans are not known. The rancH includes some exceptionally fine agricultural lands, and eventually may be "broken" up into small er tracts and sold to others. THREE ITALIANS WHO NEGLECTED LICENSES TO FISH ARE FINED Special to The Inter Mountain. Anaconda, June 17. Deputy State Game Warden J.

E. Clifford returned today from Lima, where he arrested three Ital ians employed on the Short Line for fish ing without a license. The men were fined $25 each. Each took out a foreign license for fishing, at $5. While on this trip to the southern part of the state, Mr.

Clifford made arrange ments with George R. Metlin of Dillon, engineer in charge of the construction of the big dam of the Red Rock Irrigation company, to place fishways at the dam. Fish are crowding the river at that point unable to ascend the river, and are being caught in great numbers at the dam. The fishways will give them a means to get above the dam, and will be put soon.

An aquarium has been added to the attractions of the Montana fish hatchery at Washoe park. It exhibits work that is being accomplished by the institution and was planned by Superintendent Heale. A tank of glass has been constructed, extending almost the full length of the hatchery building and three feet in depth and a foot and a half wide. This is filled by a stream of running water and in it may be seen, swimming happily about, eastern brook trout, grayling, rainbow trout and all others of the trout family, up to the great big fellows from the lakes and to make it complete, a Montana ling and a couple of suckers are there. Others are to be added from- to time till the collection is complete.

The most interesting of the beauties is the family of eastern brook trout which are natives of the hatchery and came as in a shipment to Anaconda a year ago, when they were only an inch long. They were planted in the warm spring at the park. The abundance of the feed and the warm waters that remain at a steady temperature throughout the winter proved to be a fattening ground for the speckled beauties and this year when they were transferred to the hatchery Superintendent Heale was amazed to find that his pets had made a phenomenal increase in size and were six and seven inches in length, or as he explained to one unacquainted with the growth of the species, as large as two and three-year-old trout grown in their native haunts and other normal conditions. The ling is a fish commonly known as a Montana eel, having the eel-shaped body, and is a cold water relative to the monster fish that is captured in the lakes and in the southern countries where he is SERIOUS SLIDE OF LAND ONCE MORE OLD FLUME CARRIED AWAY AND WATER SUPPLY CUT OFF DAMAGE QUICKLY REPAIRED. Special to The Inter Mountain.

Anaconda, June 17. Another landslide occurred yesterday on the hills to the west of the city and it did far more damage than that of several years ago, when a portion of the bill slid into the valley to a depth of ten to twenty feet. The slide of yesterday, however, extended to the flume that formerly supplied the old smelters of the A. C. M.

company, now dismantled. The lower tunnel of that flume moved with the slide of rock and earth, putting the flume completely out of business and were the works there still in operation and using the waters as of old, a shutdown would be necessary until the damage could be repaired. The sliding of the hill has been noticed ever since the first drop years ago and to avoid any damage a new flume was constructed on trestle work this spring, with an idea oi getting beyond the danger zone of the slide. The new movement extended beyond that protected strip. The cave-in of the tunnel made it necessary yesterday to shut off the water from the headgates and send it down the creek, but this was repaired yesterday afternoon.

The shut-off cut off the supply for the fish hatchery, excepting that which comes from the warm spring and lowered the ponds a foot or more, but the water is now flowing again and the ponds have an abundant supply for the feeders in the lower lake.

The Eagles' dance given last night at the Washoe Park pavifr ion was attended by the largest crowd of the season. Early in the evening the Eagles' band gave a concert on the city common, and while it was playing the drill team of the local Eagles' lodge, which will compete at the state convention in Eutte, marched onto the common and performed many of its fanciest At the Washoe Park pavilion later the drill team also entertained those present whh some of its difficult movements. esteemed a rare delicacy for the table The specimen' and the larger fish shown were taken from Centennial river by Superintendent Heale. The aquarium is such that it is possible to see the finny tribe in all of their natural beauty and graceful motion in the water. The spots and speckles, the beautiful markings of th bodies and the habits of the inhabitants of the streams may be seen to the full extent.

Tfie fish hatchery for the first year of its existence is making a wonderful record in the stocking of the streams of the state and the small force of three men is kept busy all day long and far into the night, caring for the delicate product. Already this season 1,700,000 brook trout have been planted with 500,000 Lake Superior white fish and 700,000 grayling. Before the year closes Superintendent Heale expects to turn into Montana waters 2,000,000 native trout and 800,000 grayling. The last namtd are now calling for the attention of the hatchery and the troughs are filled with eggs from fish taken in Centennial. The grayling, a native of the Montana streams, are under fire now from predatory fish that threaten to extinguish the type, but with the reinforcements from the hatcheries now in operation, it is hoped to keep them as gamy inhabitants of the rivers and brooks for many a long day.

Outside of Montana streams they have been found nowhere but in Michigan and Alaska as natives, and out of the thousands transplanted into other streams there is no record of the spawn having thrived to any extent, excepting in Virginia and California. This is due to the food required by the young fish, it is thought, which exists only in these waters and is of some peculiar nature.

A matron of the most determined character was encountered by a young woman reporter on a country paper, who was sent out to interview leading citizens as to their politics. ''May I see Mr.

Blank?" she asked of a stern-looking woman who opened the door at one house. "No, you can't," answered the matron, decisively. "But I want to know what party he belongs to," pleaded the girl. The woman drew up her tall figure. "Well, take a good look at me," she said, "I'm the party he belongs to Universalist Leader.

WILSON, D. F. P. A. SUNDAY EDITOR OF IT APPEARED TO HIM THAT THE CLEVELAND LETTER HAD BEEN WRITTEN AS STATED.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. New York, June 17. Charles M. Lincoln, Sunday editor of The New York Times, was recalled today at the continuation of the trial of Broughton Brandenberg on a charge of grand larceny, growing out of the sale of an alleged, forged letter of the late Grover Cleveland to The Times. On cross-examination by Atorney Jac-obi for the defense, 'Mr.

Lincoln stated hs had twice sent a reporter to F. S. Hastings, one of the executors under Mr. Cleveland's will, to ascertain if the article was genuine. Two letters which the witness said the reporter had obtained from Mr.

Hastings were admitted in evidence. In one of them, over the signature of F. S. Has--tings, the statement was made that the writer had given Brandenberg "a format written assignment, by which he has the exclusive right to said article." The second letter says "I have examined the signature submitted me by Mr. Barry and compared with others of Mr.

Cleveland's and believe that the one submitted by Mr. Barry is genuine. I have no reason to believe the article furnished "you by Mr. Brandenberg, pur-" porting to have been written by Mr. Cleveland, is not genuine." Mr.

Lincoln adhered under cross-examination to his positive identification of the article as the one Brandenberg had given him. He had cut off the signature and preserved it after sending the article to the composing room, he testified. Mr. Lincoln said the original article had been returned to Brandenberg after its publication; that Brandenberg had objected to the signature having been cut off and that he informed the defendant that the signature would not be given up because the genuine signature to the articles had been cut. Brandenberg said he needed the signature for his own protection.

TRIAL TO T0 BUTTE ORDER IN FEDERAL COURT BY JUDGE HUNT TODAY. HAS BEEN VERY SENSATIONAL This Is the Ac-tion in Which So Many Affidavits Were Filed. Special to The Inter Mountain. Helena, June 17. Judee William H.

Hunt of the United States court today made an order to the effect that the case of Myrtle Northam against the Boston Montana company, an action for damages, be tried in Butte. This is the case in which H. L. Maury, a Butte lawyer, and counsel for Mrs. Northam, also of Butte, filed affidavits in which he declared that he had heard many prominent men say that it was impossible to secure a fair and impartial jury in Butte, in any case to which the Amalgamated Copper company or its subsidiary concerns, were parties, and asked that the case be tried in Helena.

Lawyers L. O. Evans and CV F. Kelley, representing the Boston Montana, filed affidavits from many prominent residents of Butte, contradicting the statements of Maury, and affidavits were made in one or two instances by persons quoted by Maury in his affidavit, denying that they had ever made the remarks attributed to them. The affidavits of both sides were submitted to the court without oral testimony.

Judge Hunt's order today definitely settles the place of trial. TWO' BUTTE MATTERS DECIDED BY STATE SUPREME TRIBUNAL BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. Helena, June 17. Two opinions were handed down by the supreme court, both being affirmations of the judgments of the district court of Silver Bow county. In the suit of Sullivan vs.

Girson Neer to recover for the value of a diamond ring' said to have been pawned with the defendants by a daughter of the plaintiff, that she might provide a wedding present for a girl chum in Butte, the jury awarded $850 damages in lieu of a return of the property. P. Hamilton had a controversy with the Monidah Trust company, a corporation, involving the ownership of ten feet of a certain Butte city lot. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, which was set aside by the court and a new trial ordered. From this the plaintiff appealed.

The supreme court affirms the order, not being prepared to say the lower court abused its discretion. NORTHAM 1.
