J.-Where q verified complaint in a proceeding
supplementary to execution AYERS that the exc
cution defendant had recovered a Judgment
against one Wilson, and praying that the execu-
ton defendant ard Wilson be required to appear
and answer as TO the Indebtedness, and that Will
son be ordered to pay the debt due, it is bad as
against the execution defendant for failure to
aver that he had u~njustly refused to apply the
judgment in satisfaction of the debt. the execu-
ton being In the hands of the officer, and as the
complaint was bad as to him the proceeding can
not be maintained against a third party.
1887. Robert Scott ct al. vs.. j. Addie Cong
don. White G. G. Affirmed. Howk, IT'D
Under q common count for work and labor per-
formed evidence of a conversation between the
parties, during which it was agreed that the
plaintiff was to receive a certain sum peg month
for certain work, was admissible to show the
value of the work and labor done. e. An in
struction that if it was found that a price had
been agreed upon for the work and the work was
done, the agreed price should be a guide in esti-
mating damages was not erroneous.
1862. Levi Pickering VS.. State ex rel. James

the foundation of the pleading cannot be consid-
cred in determining it's suficiency. t3) 1t is
not necessary that notice be averred in direct
terms; if it is involved in the averment or order
of court embodied in the assessment 1t is sufi
cient. A. When the complaint to collect q
ditch assessment shows a petition and some no.
tice, a judgment on the petition and an assess
ment levied against the complaining property
owner, it is sufficient to drive him to answer.
These things shown are sufficient to invoke iuris-
diction, which will be presumed against a collat-
eral attack.

CHICAGO, April 81. The general freight agents
of the Northwestern lines met here to-day, and,
after consultation. agreed that, instead Of the
eight and ten-cent rates in vogue on all classes
for some time past, the tariff should be as fol-
lows, beginning Tomorrow: First class, so cents
per 100 pounds; second class. 80 cents; third, 20
cents; fourth, Is cents; special class, 12i cents:
class A, LII cents; class B, l5 cents; class c, 124
cents; class d. 10 cents: agricultural imple-
ments, 10 cents. These rates are west-bound.
The east-bound were left untouched. The action,
it is understood, was taken more with a view to
maintaining contracts than for any other rea-
son. None of the questions that brought shout
the recent breakup were discussed.

Railroad stocks Under a Cloud.


The stock market bears rather a sickly look.
Occasionally the stock Of some road, such as the
c. l., st. L. 81 G., the c., FL. & D. or the T. b.
& l., is in active demand, some new facts COM
ing to light which give them more value, but for
some time past with q majority Of railroad
stocks there has been q regular seesaw in prices.
They will be active and advanced one day, and
the next day follows a relapse. None but spec
ulators care to touch the Gould securities; the
strikes of railroad men at Chicago weakened the
value of other properties, and the decrease of
the Baltimore & Ohio's annual dividend to 8 per
cent. also had a demoralizing effect The COM
pany would be glad to have this reduction con-
sidered prudential and temporary, but Wall
street men think it was necessitated by TIC con-
tinual increase of the roads bonded debt, and
will be permanent The Atchison, Topeka u
Santa Fe makes a very good showing in its an
nual report for, Notwithstanding the depression
of 1885 and the fact that no subsidy was collect
ed from the Mexican government, nearly 81
500. 900 being due from that source, the company
paid 6 per cent. in dividends and added $500, 600
to the surplus account The Northwestern
lines make favorable exhibits for the year 1885,
but their present troubles are q cloud over the
prospective interests.

through some unexplained mysterious right,
certain territory, and the moment such territory
is invaded by a rival there is no attempt to har-
monize matters SO that each shall build up q
fresh increased traffic, but the company that
imagines itself invaded casts about for a vulner-
able point In its enemy's lines and straightway
builds a branch therein.
The Northwest and the St Paul roads have
been specially active in extending their tracks
and have watched each other for many years
with increasing jealousy. The recent action of
the st. Paul line in negotiating a loan for 3d.
DOC, 900 with which to construct q branch to Kan
sas City has been met by the Northwest in Great
ing q loan for ten times that sum-, which the of
6cials say is not to be used Immediately. but as
they have sold So. 600, 900 it shows that murder
is in the air. Then there seems to be a racket
between the Northern Pacific and the Manitoba
roads. by which the Northern Pacific people have
arranged to build the Minneapolis and Pacific
tracks into Minneapolis as a retaliatory measure
because the Manitoba has made some sort of q
traffic contract with the Montana Central.

New Timber Cutting Rules.

Commissioner Sparks has issued a new cirou
lar in regard to the telling and removing of tim,
ber on the. public domain. We give a synopsis
OF the rules below. They take effect June list:
The land from which timber is felied or re-
moved, under the provisions of tbs act, must be
known to be strictly and distinctly mineral il
character and moro valuable for mining than fol
timber or for any other purpose or use.
No person who is not a resident citizen or bona
tide resident of the state, territory or mineral
district, shall be permitted to fell or remove
timber from land therein.
Timber felied or removed shall be strictly
limited to building, agricultural, mining and
other domestic purposes.
All cutting of such timber for sale or com
MERGE is forbidden. But for building, agricult-
ural. mining and other domestic purposes each
person authorized by the act may cut or remove
for his or her own use, by himself or herself, Oh
by his. her CT thsir own personal agent or agents
only.
No person will be permitted to fell or remove
any growing trees of any kind whatsoever, loss
than s inches in diameter
Persons telling or removing timbtrf from pub

A Terrible Experience.

One day last week a soldier from TT.
Assinaboine was found by a rancher on
the Marias, in a terrible condition, and
apparently on the verge of insanity. He
told a story of intense suffering, such as
but few cauld have withstood. He stated
that he left Fl. Assfnaboine ten days pre-
yiously, and becoming hewifaered, lost
his way, and wandered about aimlessly
on the prairies without food or water.
After a few days he suffered untold tor
lures for want of water, and at last was
driven to the extremity of killing his
horse and drinking its blood, which in a
manner and for the time being, allayed
his thirst. After this, he became dazed,
and knew nothing, until found by the
rancher on the Marlas, who administered
to his wants, and in a few days he was
able to return to his quarters at Fl. AS
%sinaboins.

Words on a Worthy Theme.

Great Falls has made such a name for
herself, North, South, East and West,
that many strangers coming here, or in
tending to come, will expect to see a city
OF gigantic proportions; a town flowing
over with all kinds of eastern c~onveninces,
and Injuries; electric lights, street cars
and motor lines; theatres, gymnasia and
business facilities like those Of the East.
But, if any sensible individual will calm
ly reflect upon the matter, he will COZ
clude that Great Falls has not all of these
advantages as yet, although she has some
of them. Besides the town is SO young
that no sensible person could expect to
find all these things. Remembrance
must be made that Great Falls is only
about two Years old, yet such fame have
her manifold natural advantages gained
for her, that she has grown with a rapid
ty never before seen outside of a rich
mining camp. Not only has she grown,
bat still grows, the speed ever increasing.
The sound of the SAW anc. plane and ham
mel is heard from morning till night.
Wagons laden with freight are constantly
coming and going. The sturdy cavaliers
of the boundless cattle ranges love to
come here to have a good time and get
rid of their surplus funds. The merchant
comes with eagerness in his eyes, and
many u question on his tongue. When
he comes, it is either to stay, or to start
here q branch of his business. Stage
coaches, express lines, and railroads are
attracted to this superlative magnetic
point. All are charmed. How can they |
help it? They see our advantages and
steadily developing facilities, the beauty
and immense scope of the surrounding
country, and the wonderful activity every |
where seen in the town itself. Every
body knows how active and progressing
western towns usually are: but they have
to stay in Great Falls for a few days, /
and get the run of affairs, to be able to
appreciate the unexampled growth here
exhibited. The facilities and advantages
possessed by Great Falls and surrounding
country have been recounted hundreds of
times. Those who are here, and those
who come, never tire OF telling the Won
derful tale. The place is a phenomenon.
1t seems to nave been planned for the
city long ages ago, and people who come
here, and learn to know mostt things about
it, have such faith us has never bean
felt before in the prospects of a new town.
The farming country around is very rich
and great. We want u good, intelligent
and progressive class of agricultnralists
to come and settle these lands, and know
that such a class, knowing as it does, what
to do, how to do it and when to do it,
will never regret coming here.

A Sensible Suggestion.

IL the hitch between the Northern Pacific aud
the Montana Central would result in the latter
conpan erecting iron works in Montana and
manufacturing It's rails here, it would be in the
line of a providantial benefit. Montana has an
abundant supply of iron ore, from which the
rails could be manufactured, and We see no
reason why they could not be made here AZ
oheaply as in the eastern states and laid dow in
St. Pan1. The S7G1.0m required to pay freight
from st Paul TO Helena would provide handsome
works for the purpose. md when the rails had
been made for the road. the eesnpany you'd
have aluabte property left Instead Of the capital
bring consumed in the payment Of freight

Who Told You so9

There is no probability of tho Northern
Pacific railroad lying still and allowing
the Montana Central to draw off the
Neihart traffic, but the moment the Mon
tana Central begins its Neihart branch
from Great Falls, the Northern Pacific
will start to build from Townsend. The
distance from Townsend to Neihart is no
further than from Great Falls to that
point, and the route is fully as feasible
