Rejoicingal Anaconda Over the Action^of the Convention In Committee of^the Whole.
Butte,July 27.^|Special to the Inde^^pendent.)^For tbe past ten days four of^the best known detectives In the I'nited^Mat^s have been at work in Butte, and^they are still there. These men are work^^ing on different cases, and the exact nature^of their business has not been revealed.^One of the purposes for which the detec^^tives came to Butte was to look up a clue^in regard to Cooney the Fox. wanted very^badly for complicity in the Cronin murder^at Chicago. Strange to say tbe clue on^which the detectives came out was con^^nected with no less a person than lawyer^Wm. Scallon, of this city. Mr. Sca'lon is^an Irishman, and has a brother in Han^^cock, Michigan, Dr. Scallon, who is a^prominent Irish patriot. The Chicago^police think that Dr. .Scallon is a member^of the Clan-na Gael, and as he recently-^visited Chicago and talked with prominent^Irishmen there, they watched him. Of^course he corresponded with his brother.^Wm. Scallon. in Butte, which extended the^supposed clue to this city. Your corre^^spondent questioned Lawyer Scallon to^^day, but he was in entire ignorance of the^fact that be had been watched. Three of^the men now in the city are Detectives^Raymond, Clancy and Keabon. The first^named comes from Chicago and the last^from Denver. It is Mr. Keabon who did^the Pacific Express company's work in re^^gard to the Anaconda office. These gen^^tlemen, since their advent into the camp,^have been very industrious. They have^not only searched Butte, but have looked^through all the outside neighboring camps,^including the railroad graders' camps.^They are undoubtedly working on other^cases than the Cronin matter, and it is not^unlikely that they will arrest a few more^Tascotts before they get through with the^^greatest mining camp on earth.
