Deer Lodge Notes.
New North Wes ..

Mr.. Terrence McMurray, q resident OF Bear
Mouth, died at St. Joseph's Hospital Decem-
9th.
Benz. Thompson, aged 50 years, was par
doned out of the Penitentiary December 81
a nice New Years gift. The pardon was
granted on petition of over two hundred
residents of Madison county and the recon-
mendation of the prison officers. 1t appears
he killed a man who slandered his wife and
then took the first shot at him. Unless the
circumstances are misstated to us the pardon
comes none too soon, if he should ever have
been convicted. We believe he had served
the larger portion of ask years sentence.
Mrs. Williams, h]ousekeeper at the Warm
Springs Asylum, was poisoned a few days
since i'll a rather peculiar manner, and the
case has assumed a serious form. A China
woman was recently sent to the Asylum from
Madison county, and in one of her frenzies
struck her hand through a window, intiicting
severe wounds. Mrs. Williams dressed the
hand. On New Years day Mrs. Williams
came to Deer Lodge and consulted DR..
Mitchell about the distress felt in one of her
thumbs. She was prescribed for and in a
short time tainted while in Bonner store.
Since then the Inflammation and evidences
of poisoning have extended nearly to hel
shoulder, and the patient is suffering Intense
ly. 1t is thought at the time of dressing the
insane PERSONS land she may have had a
scratch on her hand and poison have thus
been communicated. The case is considered
quite serious.

The city Charter.

The report current on the street yesterday
relative to the decision of the Supreme Court
refusing to grant the writ of habeas cOrpuS in
the case Of Parks is not altogether correct,
although it is urged by some that the dismis-
sal Of the case is 'acitly If not expressly a
recognition Of the validity of the city charter.
While such may be the position of tie judges
when the question Of validity is brought up
for rgument in a test case, the conclusion
that the matter has received a final decision
is regarded generally as premature and unau-
tllOriZed.
Ono question, however. is decided, and that
is that The police magistrate appointed under
the provisions of the nitv charter is by virtue
of that appointment invested with jurisdiction
as a justice of the peace. 1t will be remem-
berrd, in HE Parks case, a writ Of hd6toS
"c2p'& was applied for on the ground that tie
utiensr was Territorial, in which case it was
alleged a police magistrate had no jurisdiction
to act as justice Of the peace, not having been
elected by the people, the statutes providing
that justices Of the peace shall be SO elected.
The Supreme Court, it will be seen, has &C
corded to the police magistrate jurisdiction as
justice of the peace and in so comforting the
dual power implicitly confirms the validity of
the city charter under the provisions OF which
the Police Magistrate received his appoint
men.. This, at least. is the View taken by
the friends of the city government, while
those Of antagonistiC views hold that the re-
flsal to grant the release OF the prisoner has
no bearing whatever on the validity OF the
charter and that The Supreme Court has not
committed itself either implicitly OF abso-
lutely to either side of the question. In any
event the opponents of municipal rule have
not relaxed their purpose of continuing hos
tilities and before many days the matter may
come up for definite and final discussion,
when it is to be hoped a decision will be
reached conclusive as to the legal merits OF
the municipal instrument. A continuation
of the present conflict is much to be deplored.
l. is hurtful to the best interests of the COM
munity for its members to be arrayed against
one another as they have been tor months
past in a fruiiIess conflict as to the proper
manner OF SeclIliS tDt ooSei'"h>S "'
and order. The injury is two told
The refusal to pay the licenses required de-
prives the owl authorities Of a portion OF the
funds necessary to preserve peace and carry
on public improvements, and at the same
time exhausts the city treasury by incurrlns
expenses necessary to maintain municlpaI
authority by recourse to the courts. There
fore let us hope this vexed question will re-
ceive IL speedy solution, that no more pubic
money will be wasted
little city government is legal let it be as
rertained without further ado. and let its reg
ulations be enforced without fear or favor. L
it is illegal, the more quickly it can be con-
signed to the history Of the past the better i
will be for the Interests of the entire popula
ton Of Butte.

Last Territorial Warrant Called in

In another column Hon. ID. H. Weston,
f%rritorial Treasurer, gives notice that he has
h in the Treasury to pay warrants Nos. 81
$50, both inclusive. The most significant
t stated in the notice, is that these war
pts comprise all not heretofore called for
yment." In other words, to-day, for the
t time in our history, the Territory Of
|Ontana has not one outstanding warrant
llch she is not able and ready to pay on
[esentation. In fact, the Territorial Auditor
Fsterday drew his warrant upon the Treas
r for over $500, which was paid by Mr..
eston on presentation. This has never be-
Re occurred in Montana, and does not often
eur anywhere. 1t means that our current
elpts, over and above the amount required
law to be applied to the sinking fund, are
excess of our current expenses. The fact
~ o.r bonds sell readily ut a premium and

Pat credit upon the wise legislation concern
finances enacted by our Legislature. and
on the capable management of our Terri
nal affairs by the officers in charge thereof.
