The Creditors Of an Estate Beceme Debt
ors to the widow and Son.
An important case was on trial before
Judge Hvwey yesterday, and the result
was that widow got her just claims
which will leave her few thousand dol
lars whereas 1t was supposed that she was
pennlless. The estate Of l.. B. stiles was
closed up. and Mrs. stiles now has a nice
sum OF money instead of being In debt l..
B. Stiles was In the employ OF DoDneil,
Lawson q Simpson in New York AS a con.
fidential man. lie came 10 Montana In
1884, and before he came placed a house
and lot In Orange, N. J., TO sell. Shortly
after his arrival In Montana the firm for
which he worked failed and his accounts
with them were left unsettled. Mr. stiles
died in Helena In 1857 and when his atf airs
we're being settled IL was found that he was
indebted TO The firm OF DOnnell, Lawson 4
simpson S5,2ll The executor OF the es-
tate, Massena Bullard, and the executrix,
Mrs. Stiles closed up the estate allowing
the amount claimed. But Mrs. Stiles did
not think everything was right and con.
suited Attorney kinsley, who had himself
appointed guardian of Mrs. Stiles child,
and he began 10 investigate. lie discover.
ed that Mr.. Stiles property had been sold
for 80 900 and that he had never been cred
tied with that amount This he easily
proved 10 Judge llOwey, who promptly
disallowed the claim Of the New York firm
and gave judgement against them.

Private ScheOl.

The trustees having given permits
sion to use one of the public school
rooms, a private school will be opened
at the Public Schoohouse Monday
next, April Sth, at 9 o'clock a. m, by
Miss Nj. johnson, one of our late
teachers, to be continued two months.
She was solicited to start a private
school by many citizens, who believe
her to be first class and most COM
petent teacher. Her school should
be patronized and have all the pupils
she can do justice to. Twenty-Five
pupils have been already obtained,
and there is room for 10 or Is more
The more pupils the less the charge
per month for each. Every one tina,
can possibly afford it should patron
ize and help support this school. II
is a great pity the public school could
not be continued. The next best
thing-a private school-should be
sustained, and be full from the start

Two Wood Riverites Who think This Is

Two Wood Riverites Who think This Is
as Promising q Region as Any.
John A. McFarlane and Emil A..
Friedman returned to-day from a
swing around the Northwestern
circle. On leaving here they went
to Butte and Helena, Mon, thence to
Spokane Falls, Yakima, Ellensburg,
Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland.
Butte is the biggest mining camp
ever seen, and as the Anaconda works
are being rebuilt it will also be the
most prosperous. Helena is lively,
prosperous, elegant city. Spokane is
laid out for 100000 inhabitants, and
expects to have them inside of FIVE
years. Yakima is slow-like Bellevue,
they say; while Ellensburg is more
like HALEY but somewhat livelier.
Business lots sell for $3.50 to $1,000 a
front foot; residence lots from $3.50
up.
Seattle and Tacoma are lively,
but business Is dull in all lines ex-
cepting real estate, hotels, liveries and
restaurants. The streets are crowd.
ed with newcomers-some with few
dollars in their pockets.
A lot of old timers from the mining
towns of Utah, Nevada and Califor.
MIA are up there. The Roos Brothers
and Mr.. Wolfe, for instance, from
Virginia, New, Marks & CULLEN from
Bullion. Idaho, Goldsmith & Co., of
Ogden, Salt Lake, etc., and many
Others, carry stocks that can't be beat
even in San Francisco. But they are
not doing much business, compare
lively speaking. w. T. Hall is in
Seattle, SO is Thomas Bell; James
Rainey, George A. Black, Nelson
Bennett, and Hon. E. M. Wilson are
at Bellingham Bay; and all seem to
do we'll.
Mr.. McFarlane did not buy any.
thing, although he kept an eye out TO.
bargains. But the fact is that land
is held at such wellnigh fabulous
prices that he thought the top of the
boom must have been reached. Sc
he concluded to return to WOOD
River which, he says, is after all as
promising region as any of them.

THE ENGLISH SALT OUTPUT.
1t is to be Taxed for Surface Damages

1t is stated that the Salt Union has
arranged with MIR. Drummer, M. P, to
hold an important conference in
Cheshire with reference to the enor-
nous damages sustained by property
owners and ratepayers owing to sub
sideuces. The conference will be
confined to the Salt Union, the direc-
tors of Drummer, Mond & Co., extern
sive alkali manufacturers and brine
bumpers, and deputations from North.
which and Winsford local boards.
One million tons of salt are raised
annually in Cheshire, and Mr.. Brun.
ner's main proposition is that a tax
should be placed on each ton OBJ.
tanned. The subsidences are so seri.
Gus that lakes of water have been
formed several hundred acres in ex
tent, while at Winsford the extraor
binary spectacle is to be witnessed
of the ridge-tiles of house just dis
appearing below ground.
If such tax is levied, it will prac
tioally drive "Liverpool' salt out O
the American market; as in thi.
cou ntry no such tax is probable fo
so years, and in the meantime sal
can be produced at less cost than thu
foreign article can be landed on GU
shores.

IDAHO AHEAD!
One Of Her Young Maidens Beats the
ElOpement Record, but Does Not
Depart from the Lines of Propriety.

D0P"As AAVh euc LINUS VI AIOpTlotys
We thought that it was about time
for Idaho to do something in the
elopement line. There is hardly one
among the slow. easy going common
wealths of the East but has had one
or more sensational elopements to
brag of lately, while Idaho has been
so stupidity respectable and common
place that people "'way down East"
had well-nigh forgotten our very ex-
istence. But Miss Claggett, daugh-
ter of ex-Delegate Clsggett, of Mon
tana, has come to the rescue and
saved the "Gem Of the Mountains
from becoming by-word among her
sisters by INDUCING In an episode OF
the most romantic and sensational
kind. This young lady, on her fathers
refusal to approve of her choice, fled
from her home in Georgetown, in the
Occur d'Alene mountains, to Murray,
waded a rapid torrent, narrowly es.
capped drowning, wore out her shoes,
blistered her dainty little feet, tore
her frock, and benumbed with cold
her soanty clothing frozen fast to her
delicate frame, finally found her be.
,rotbed at o'clock in the morning
and hurried him to a minister, where
the twain were made one and even
Mrs. Grundy's capacious nav thus
effectively sealed.
Thus does Idaho lead in this line
as in all Others in which her inhab.
itants engage.
