"SwOggling'' n Lawyer.

A millionaire who lived and died in
the vicinity of this city, as he felt his
last days drawing nigh, summoned a
distinguished neighbor and lawyer, who
since has occupied one of the highest
positions in the gift OF representatives of
the people, to prepare his last will and
testament. When the will was drawn
the dying man snid II propose to make
you my executor, and | shall require no
bond from you. Write that also" The
ex-Judge complied, after thanking his
client, and promised to execute the will
to the best of his ability.
"What is your bill Tor drawing up my
will?" asked the millionaire.
"Oh, under the circumstances, of
course, shall charge You nothing was
the answer.
But" said the other, that is not my
way Of doing business. Make out and
receipt bill for your services, and 1
will pay you now.
"Well, since you insist, | will make
ont bill for a nominal sum say S25. ;"
And this member of the Bar, who sci.
dom draws breath without charging
some ono for the respiration, made out
and receipted for SO, bill which under
other circumstances would have been
$500.
The good man died aud was buried
When the will was roa il was found that
the name of his son 30 $ inserted in the
place of that OF the distinguished law
yer. The rulne s;ou was strong in
death. The mar vjD .,uew how to Nc-,
cumuaie wealth uuuurstood the value of
tightly-drawn will and the difference
between So apo $500. Ho Ind merely
copied the words in the order they were
written by his legal friend, and thus had
obtained an irrefragible will at small
cost; and an executor Of his own choos-
ing Cincinnati Gazette.
The lambrequin effect is much used in
winter costumes.

The Prairie Farmer says: The urgency
of the case, in endeayoring to secure
measures to prevent the spread of pIeuro-
pneumonia in this country is very great.
Calves by tens of thousands have come
from the East during the past season
(some of them doubtless from localities
infected with the malady) and been dis
tributed in the Western States and Ter
ritores. The cattle Of the whole coun.
try are thus put in great jeopardy. Con,
gress should enact a law such as is asked
for in the resolutions adopted ut the con-
vention which recently met in this city.
Let every farmer and stock-raiser, feeder
and shipper, interest themselves in cir
culating a petition for signatures to be
forwarded to Congress at the earliest day
practicable.

Berthelot recently examined two
specimens Of wine, one nearly 100 years
old and the other 45 years. The elder
wine had clear, yellow color, II dry and
slightly bitter taste, and large deposit
of coloring matter. It's specific gravity
was 00SS at 10 degrees, and it contained
1913 per cent. OF alcohol by volume,
159 per cent. by weight. The 45-year-
old wine was darker in color, had n speci-
fic gravity of O.99l at 10 degrees, and
contained pol per cent. OF alcohol by

INTER MOUNTAIN" VS.. "INTER =
MOUNTAINS
An Injunction SUIT Growing Cut OF the Sim.
iiarity OF Names.

The Inter Mountain il published in Butte
by the " Inter Mountain Publishing Com
pany." The Inter Mountains IL published ia
Butte by Leigh X. freeman. The former
brings suit against the latter 10 restrain him
from using the name Inter Mountains, alleg-
ing Ii d+ceives patrons, that right TO the
name vests in plaintiff, and lays damages at
~ 600
Mr. Freeman in form denies each and all
the allegations in the complaint Of plaintiff,
alleges he originated and publicly claimed
the name Inter- Mountains three months be-
fore plaintiff issued paper of that name.
tat he actually published in Butte paper
of that name before the Inter Mountain was
published, and that he il damaged 5000 by
reason of said act of plaintiff.
The application for the restraining ord'r
was argued before Judge Galbraith in cham
bers Wednesday, Messrs. Knowles & Forbis
appearing for the Inter Mountain Publishing
Company, and Messrs. Lespeyre & Mcbride
for Mr.. Freeman. The Court reserved de-
cision in the case. This, however in pre-
sumed TO be only a preliminary matter, and
that however the decision may be the case
will come up on its merits mt the February
term of Court in Butte. 1T in certainly unde-
sirahle that two papers with such similarity
of names should be published in the same
Territory and town. and doubtless one or the
other, or both. will see the advantage of
changing. If the proprietors are not too
"hostile ID might be better to do this by
agreement than TO reach IL by litigation

PRODUCTS or THE VALLEY.
A Pair Showing for the Highest Cultivated
Valley.

We believe the Deer Lodge IL the highest
of the large cultivated valleys Of Montana
II il by degrees and slowly It's inhabitants
reconcile themselves to its productions, and
each succeeding new crop that II expert
mented with In new source of asfonish-
ment The earlier settlers tell US with what
fear and doubt along about 1923 they COM
mitted TO the ground the first seed potatoes,
bidding what they deemed long farewell to
the scarce and high-priced tnbers, which
they expected to rot in :" the cold, cold
ground Now this In demonstrated TO be
one of the best of crops, and yield of $50
to 20 bushels to the acre is not unusual
Then the grain was tried. and oats, barley
and wheat lip turn astonished the natives
with the abundant yield and the thorough
maturity Of the grain. IL serins but few
seasons since the first wheat was grown, and
as yet there liz only one grist mill with one
set of burrs in this valley, containing at least
400 square miles.
One of the early fancies was that none but
bottom lands had value, and until recently
the benches lay vacant and given over to
stock ranges. The first bold break for the
bench lands was made, we believe, some
three or four years ago bv Morgan Evans,
Sho fenced in and began the cultivation of a
considerable tract of land on the high bench
above Race Track creek. He informs US
this week that he cultivated thereon this
year $50 acres of grain, and the product was
D 600 bushels of wheat, oats and barley, of
excellent quality. This is probably one of
the largest crops in the Territory.
Mr. Evans informs ms he has threshed In
the valley this fall 10000 bushels of grain.
He estimates the grain yield of the valley,
from Deer Lodge up, at 100000 bushels, and
that 5000 bushels more are raised in the
lower Deer Lodge, He'll Gate and Flint
Creek valleys. The average yield to the
acre Is about twenty-five bushels of wheat,
thirty bushels of barley, and thirty-tiye bush.
els Of oats. The market price ranges at :
Wheat, 81 to &c. per pound; barley, q UTAH
TO &c; oats, 2actc.
1t Is believed about onefourth Of the
grain raised will be required for seed and
feed by the producers. The hay product OF
the valley il estimated at from 1900 to 1900
tons, of which three-fourths is raised above
Lost creek The yield averages about one
ton to the acre. The price on the ranches
ranges from $40 to $50. These figures indi.
cate a prosperous condition among our
farmers - good crops and good markets
In two or three years more the percentage OF
cultivated lands in the valley will only be
limited by the amount of water available for
irrigation.

Governor Potts on Monday last issued the
following pardons:
On petition of Chief Justice Wade, At
tornrv- General Lowry, John shober, Esq.,
and seventy-seven others. Allen Lewis, a
coIorrd man, convicted Of grand larceny in
Helena, and srntrnc"d In November 1880.
was pardonrd.
On pptition Of Chirf Justice WADE, and
200 or 800 Others. including the leading ci'i-
zrns of Custer county, Pete Walker, aged
80 years, was pardonrd on condition OF his
forever abstaining from the use OF intoNicat-
ing liquors. He was sentenced In Septem-
Der, 1881, 10 one year in the Penitentiary.
The circumstances of the latter case, ~ re-
lated by the prisoner and eorroborated by
others, are peculiar. Some three or four
years ago Walker was keeping stock station
on n stage route In Dakota He had orders
from the company TO charge up to drivers
any meals taken by them or by their orders
for passengers One day driver named
McCusick arrived with five passengers.
Walker, Mt the instance of McCusick. pro.
vided them meal and charged the same on
the book. MeCusick, who was drunk, came
in, put pistol TO Walkers head, made him
erase the charge from the book, get down on
his knees under the threat of blowing his
head OFF, say his prayers, and swear solemn
oath he would never divulge what had oc-
Cured The driver then took all the meat
and canned goods Walker had and drove off.
Walker then resigned his place, and on be-
ing interviewed by the officers of the com
pany declined 10 answer any questions about
the cause. McCuick soon after robbed the
coach and was sent to the State Prison nj
Detroit. where he served a sentence of two
or three years. Walker, who was married
man, had In the meantime removed 10 Miles
City. On the 18th Of last August Mccnsick
met Walker In Miles City. Walker had
some domestic troubles about the same time,
and was drinking McCusick wanted 10
make up, but Walker declined, and seeing
McCusick during the day In saloon, fired
pistol at him, wounding McCusick In the
leg The latter fed, and did not appear
against Walker An Indictment was, how
ever, found against Walker, who plead
guilty aud was sentenced to one year IN the
Montana Penitentiary The prisoner has
behaved In an exemplary manner while in
prison, and his wife has remained here dur
ing his incarceration. He says he will never
drink liquor again. 10 is best If he had
been sober last August be would perhaps
have made better shot.
