HE LOST
An Interesting Suit Over a Pool Tick..
Decided Last Night.

An Interesting Suit Over a Pool Tiok.,
Decided Last Night.
Last night there was a large and inter.
ested ATTENDANCE ip the Court OF ,Judge
Hamilton, the occasion being the trial OF
the suit OF Jas. Larkin vs.. the West Side
Association. The complaint set forth that
during the latest meeting OF the association
he purchased a winning auction pool ticket
for $40 in the Ranchero, Little Joe and
Rolla race, that it won SIS, and that it
still remained unpaid. hence the suit.
Plaintiff was represented by w. I. Lippin.
colt and Lee Mantle, appearing for the as.
ISOLATION, wa accompanied by Mr.. Dewitt.
The testimony was to the effect that Mr..
Larkln had purchased the ticket on the day
OF the race, that it had on the same dav
been presented for payment, that the pool
seller was at the time busy and
had asked him to wait. Subsequently
1T had passed into the hands OF sew
eral different parties. The testimony oftbe
defense was to the effect that the pool priv
had been sold to a Mr.. Cox, that under
the rules OF the National Association
tickets were not redeemable after an in.
- ~, o"o uays' 'ndU III tnls case q uupll-
cate ticket had been presented, paid and
while it was not asserted the ticket in ques-
tion had been altered or was a forgery it was
that Mr.. Cox, not the Association,
was liable. The books OF the Association
and the redeemed ticket were put in
evidence. with the further statement of Mr.. |
Mantle that he had no knowledge of the
claim until five days alter the meeting had
closed. and Mr.. Cox, the pool seller, had
been settled with and left the city. The
rial was by a jury and after the witnesses
lad been examined the counsel decided not
20 argue the case. It was thereupon given
10 the jury, who, after a brief consultation, |
a verdict for defendant.

Tho people OF Burlington are just now
engaged in a huge growl because they are
not afforded a daily mail, an improvement
to which they are Justly entitled. The
salary OF the postmaster would not be in
creased by the change and the additional
cost for carrying would be 80 inconsider-
bile that it should not be taken into con-
sideration. Under the existing tri-weekly
system a letner that is mailed at that point
late Friday afternoon does not reach the
Rutte office, three and a half miles distant,
until Nc nday afternoon. This makes
people think the alleged postal facilities are
q farce.
The Colorado company are doing con-
siderable prospecting work on the Burling-
ton and Nettie mines and the outlook is
more thar favorable: In the Blue Bro
mine and mill there is a hum OF activity
and there is a report of a rich strike in the
mine.

CALLED DOWN.
A Fighter Who Concluded That There Is
Still Law in Butte,

Still Law in Butte.
Yesterday morning a stalwart man,
accompanied by an aqually s~talwart
partner OF the female sex. both in a state
OF intoxication, entered the Senate saloon
and demanded drinks. The attendant
accommodated them, but as they were 80
boisterous and abusive he insulted the
woman by calling attention to the fact
that she must behave herself, whereupon,
in a fit OF indignation. she took her de-
parture. A little later the pair were in the
White Elephant and there the pleasant
language INDUCED in eliminated in the
woman getting a pair of black eyes. The
then returned to the Senate, where he
forced himself behind the bar, and while the
attendant a trying to persuade
him to 60 outside I he opened
a drawer in the %sideboard
and took therefrom a pair of pistols. 1t
happened that several officers had followed
him up, expecting mischief, and in looking
through the window saw him take the pis-
tolls. The attendant quietly called his at
~tention to this fact and requested him to
return the weapons. This be refused to do,
and proceeded to the door, where he was
met by Deputy Sheriff Frances and Officers
and Hooper. He was at once dis
and taken to the station house.
in the day he pleaded guilty to Great
ing a disturbance, paid the fine imposed for
the same, and no more serious complaint
lodged against him.

GAME )
The Species Mr.. Dewitt and the
Other Waltons Desire Introduced In
Montana.

Montana.
Butte boasts among it's inhabitants a
large number of enthusiastic, and very
capable disciples of Isaac Walton, they fish
for the enjoyment it gives them to capture
the funny tribe and the pleasure it affords
them to distribute them when captured in
messes to appreciative friends. With a
view of introducing a new variety OF game
fish into the mountain streams, Mr..
Dewitt recently addressed a letter to the
Fish Commissioner at Washington, asking
for a supply OF eggs of brook trout, known
az Salmo fontanalis, the gamest fish in the
world. The Commissions responded as
follows: In reply to your letter OF Janu'
arv 23. I beg to say that the commission
ia not at present able to undertake the
transnortation IF brook trout from its
eastern stations, for the purpose OF stock
mo waters in Montana. Should you v
facilities for Matching these species, ar.
ranqements can be made to send you next
season several thousand OF the eggs fol
that purpose. ~
The establishment of a station at Denver
NV the United Statse Fish Commission tol
the purpose OF Matching and distributing
trout for the supply OF the Rocky Noun
tain streams is now being agitated, and 1t Ii
nosslble Congress may make provision tol
The same. Should it do so we will be IN {
nos;tion to furnish not only this species
Int other valuable varieties OF the trouttr
