during a severe storm, last evening, large
numbers of frogs were precipitated to the

MOTION
The Northern Pacific and Montana Central
in Court Again.

Another act in the app"r eutly intermin.
able litigation growing out of the condeR.
natory proceedings instituted by the North
ern Pacific and Montana companies against
the Montana Central, a played In the dis
trict court yesterday.
Judge McCutcheon, attorney for the de-
fendant road, moved for an order ~vacatine
the order OF the court, issued April 20,
giving plaintiffs possession OF the ground in
dispute and awarding the defendant $4,000
damages. Colonel Saunders OF Helena and
Judge Kirkpatrick of this city. appeared
for the Northern Pacific and opposed the
motion.
The arguments made were quite lengthy
and were repetitions of arguments advanced
in the former hearing. Judge De Wolfe
overruled the motioI and the matter rests
as before, with the new road in possession
Of the coveted terminal grounds.
Exceptions to the ruling OF the court were

The Further Prosecution of the Case Post
poned, Owing to a Lack of Funds.
LITTLE Rock, May TIT is probable the
conclusion OF the Woodruff county case in
the federal court will end the criminal pros
ecutions before Judge Caldwell. This morn.
ing it was announced the appropriation for
the payment Of witnesses in the govern.
ment cases had been exhausted. Aletter to
that effect has been received from the at
torney general by United States Marshal
Spellman. In summing up the matter
Judge Caldwell said the prosecution OF the
government criminal cases was practically
ended.
The grand iurs would be discharged, be.
cause no further business could be trans
acted without men to testify. Notwith-
standing all this, the fact exists that there
are a number OF cases on tine docket which
will have to 60 over to the next term OF the
federal court.
From this it will be seen the prosecution
of the alleged frauds against the ballot box
must cease for a while.

Franklin Township, Church
and School Board Case.

The case of the Trustees of the
Lutheran and Calvinist Churches,
vs.. The Board of School Directors
Of Franklin township, Snyder coun-
ty, Pa, was decided by the Court
on July 20, 1889.
The facts are as follows That on
the 11th of Nov. 1856, Joseph Simon
and wife conveyed to Joseph Has
singer, et al, in trust for the use
of the members of the above named
Churches and for the use and pur-
pose of site for school house,
burrying ground &c, for the mem
bers of said Churches l6l acres of
ground now in said township of
Franklin. Possession followed the
grant. A church ediiice was erected,
burrying ground defined, and up to
this time the lands have been used
and maintained rs set forth in said
deed, although no such school has
been established as provided for in
the conveyance, yet u common
school edifice has been erected and
maintained for many years and it is
the site of this school house that
the directors have changed and out
OF which grew this suit. The Trus-
tees on behalf of the Churches con-
tended that this the directors could
not do for the reason, LIST, because
said school directors made no at
tempt to agree with the Trustees,
and, 2nd, because said board of di-
rectors made no attempt to procure
a site from other land owners. 3rd,
because the site selected is not the
best nor the proper one, 4th, be
cause the . acre selected is neces
sary to carry out the purpose OF
the trust under the Simons deed.
The Court says III substance, as tc
ths,.st object in il is snown by tn,

John II. Kaufman that they on be
half of the Board of School Direc

price, but could not agree. As t,
the 2nd and 3rd objection, there il
no power in this Court to review
: the decision of the School Board ol
either point, and as to the last oh
lection the testimony shows tina
the acre appropriated does not III
