change Of the store, and when the lens
was offered, said yes, he would take it,
asking Jameson to wait few minutes.
Suiting action tn word, Taylor took the
lens and put 1t behind the counter.
Jameson became uneasy Immediately,
and demanded either the lens or the
money. In the meantime Mr.. Taylor
sent for policeman, and Jameson be-
coming violent, seized him by the collar.
jameson instantly g-asped Taylor by
the throat, scratching his neck severely,
and at the same time took Taylor's flu

Obituary.

Yesterday afternoon James, the only
son of Mr.. James and Hannah Patton,
quietly and peacefully passed from q
world. which to him had been one of
sickness and pain. For two years and q
half the little boy has lain prone ON his
back, q victim, Of rheumatism, suffering
sxcruciating pain and without the power
to move hand or foot. During all his
long sickness the little sufferer was UNI
complaining and for the greater part of
the time even cheerful. He had no fear
Of death and probably welcomed it as a
relief from ever present pain. He was
a kind-hearted, affectionate and obedi-
ent boy and possessed amiable traits of
character which endeared him to all
that knew him. The bereaved parents
and sisters have the sympathy Of their
friends and Of the community in their
great loss.

There has been recently q great deal
of discussion in social circles in Butte rs
to when Easter Sunday will come this
year. A meeting Of the Bullion Club
was held Wednesday evening ut which
the subject was much canvassed pro and
con, and the next club assembly post
poned from this night to Friday night,
April 18th. Yesterday this action Of
the club created considerable Comment
among many good churchwomen who
love their church, but also love their
dancing. Several Of them protested
against such long delay, and declared
that Lent would be over in time to have
the next assembly Friday evening,
April 9th, and that after 80 long . pro-
bation Of fasting and prayer they would
be all the more eager to seize on the first
opportunity to trip the light fantastic.
1t was supposed by an inquirer after
true wisdom on this subject that the
aforesaid ladies might certainly be cx-
peetcd to know whereof they spoke, 80
an indignation meeting was held
among certain of the gilded youth, at
which it was resolved to leave the
whole question to the Prayer Book.
The result IL that it is found tn be fact
that Easter comes for the year 1882 on
April 9th, and that the preced-
ing Friday, April 7th, Is Good Friday.

Noutanians who remember the
troublous times Of 90, and the long ana
bloody conflict between road agents and
the Vigilantes have surely not foTgoeten
J. N. Thurmond ESQ.,, lawyer and q
man of unusual acumen.
In those days the road agents employ
ed counsel, and contented themselves
with no inferior talent. Among the
lawyers employed by them were Judge
Smith and Mr.. Thurmond After
the death of most of their clients they
were banished from the Territory. TAX
ing refuge in Salt Lake, Thurmond
brought an action for heavy da. IMAGES
against the most prominent VigiIantes
and made out strong case. In the
mean time the defendants sent legal
representatives to salt Lake, one OF
whom was armed with . requisition
from the Governor Of Montana to the
authorities in Utah, demanding the n.
turn of Thurmend to this Territory. 50
salutary an argument did the exhibit
ton of the document prove to the
aggrieved plaintiff that his action for
damages was suddenly brought to an
end, and he gave receipt in full for all
demands against the Vigi'antes on con-
dition that the obnoxious document
should not be used against him. He
we'll knew that his return to Montana
would be Immediately followed by his
death at the hands of the Vigilantes.
This was nearly twenty years ago.
What Thurmond did and how he Jared
in the meantime is not known. Suffice
it to say that lie was shot and instantly
killed in Dallas, Texas, last week. The
particulars of the afffay, which ended
in his sudden death are given in an ex-
change. Thurmond, it seems, had be-
come notorious as . lawyer aud politt-
clan all over Texas. He became in
volved on the morning of his death In
dispute with Robert f. C0wart, prom
inent brother ut the bar. They met In
the County Court room, and after an
exchange Of epithcts, in which Thur
m0nd is said to have been the aggressor,
both drew and fired almost simultane-
ously. Cowart's hall passed directly
Thurmond's head, causing in
slant death.
ThurmOnd wss Q native of Kentucky,
lged about forty-five years, and was dis
trict judge in Texas during the admins
tration Of Edmund J. Davis. C0wart is .
native of Atlanta, Ga, about thirty-ftve
years of age. He was released on giving
bonds in 500, the verdict Of the coroner's
Jury having been that he acted in self
defense.

There 10 . very general desire that
there should be another term Of the
District Court In Butte before 6eptem-
Der, the time now assigned for it, next
session. There are many and powerful
reasons Why court should meet before
that time, and there IL no reason T.
doubt that Judge Galbraith will hold .
session II he be assured that such action
will meet the wants Of the community
and the wishes of the bar.
To begin with there will probably be
twenty civil cases Of more or less Inn
portance left undisposed Of ut the ad-
journment Of the current term which
must take place next week. There will
b ut least twenty more vii cases at is-
sue and ready for trial July 1st. There
will be at least twenty-five criminal
cases, some and indeed all Of them Of
importance to be disposed Of by that
time. The Importance Of the early dis
position of these criminal cases consists
not only in justice to the persons them
selves, but also In the saving Of q large
SUM Of money to the tax payers Of the
county. II thereare twenty persons in
Jail July lat, who can then have trial.
the county will be saved twenty dollars
q day for sixty days which would other
wise intervene between that time aud
the September term.
Now as to the paacticability of this
intermediate term in Butte there is no
question. The times of holding die.
trict courts are now az follows: First
Monday in April, Deer Lodge fourth
Monday in June, Missoula; first Mon
day in September, Butte. The next
session Of the Supreme Court comes the
second Monday in August. If the time
for holding court in. A1issoula we're
moved to the first Monday in July AMI
pie time would be left for three or four
weeks term in Butte in July.
