Judgment IL Affirmed In the
Gibbs Perjury Case from
Cascade.
ut the Bar Other Civil Business
Passed ON.

| George Haldron and Francis T. Mcbride
Of Butte, appeared in the suueeme cour
yesterday to answer to the disbarment pro
ceedings brought against them by Charles
O'Donnell, another Butte lawyer. The
suits brought BY citizens against the Butte
City Railway company growing out Of an
accident which occurred on July 4, 1882
By the running away of car ON the motor
line. one man who jumped was killed, and
dozen or fifteen we're injured. One Of
the injured men was jerome Caldwell.
While he was in the hospital, both O'Don-
nell and Haldron visited him. Haldron
was counsel for the railroad company and
effected settlement with Caldwell for
$1,000. O'Donnell says he had made ar
ranRements with Caldwell to bring suit
against the company for $4,000, of which
the lawyer was to get contingent Of one
half. HaldrOn. however, claimed that this
arrangement was made after he had made the
settlement. O'Donnell then brought the
disbarment proceedings, alleging unprofes-
sional conduct, and gave the Caldwell case
and other similar matters to sustain his
charge.
The arguments were made yesterday by
O'Donnell on one side, and Haldron on the
other. Much Of the talk was on technical
points in the evidence, but the two lawyers
managed to inject few personal and per-
tinent observations which made even the
court smile. After presenting tho legal
phases Of the question, O'Donnell asked
for the disbarment of Mcbride and Hal
dron, because he said, I'VE lawyers over
in Butte cannot compete with such men
and such practices" Haldxon got
chance to counter during his argument.
He referred to the fact that O'Donnell had
refused to be examined as witness in the
disbarment proceedings, for the reason
that he was 1.-THE lawyer in the case.''
This" exclaimed Haldron, .'is the first
time that ever heard him charged with
being lawyer" The case will be contin
ued to-day, when Haldron will 60 ON With
the argument. He will be followed by Elk
Gov. Carpenter for the same side.
The typewriter testimony in the case fills
two quarto volumes each about two inches
thick. Besides these there are numerous
outside papers, copies of affidavits and
other documents which, spread out over the
big table in the supreme court room, made
an amazing tangle. It will take the court
some time to read all the papers, or as Hal
dron put it, there ia q big job on hand '.for
the judge who is SO unfortunate as to have
to PASS on the case"

Put Yourself in Her Place.

we often wonder how many men
have ever really tried to put themselves
in woman's place. Fancy man
brought to trial before court composed
entirely of women! Fancy Il man
going, year after year, to pay his taxes
when he was denied representation
Fancy him bearing, year after year, the
burden of work for the churches with
no voice in their council! Fancy him
sitting quietly listening to the average
Fourth of July speech, declaring this to
he a government of the people. when he
knew half the people were disfranchis-
ed. Can any one imagine man in
such a situation holding his peace, and
would any one respect him for mo-
ment if he did? Yet he has no more at
stake in government than woman has.
1t involves his dearest, but so it does
hers. She is equally amenable with him
to every law. Who is more concerned
than woman i'm every law affecting the
home, property, marriage and divorce,
and who has greater stake I'm war! In
short, though woman cannot lift her
finger to change the law. she is not
therefore exempt. The law does not
let her alone. 1t interferes in all her
affairs at every step from the cradle to
the grave.-W Oman's Standard.
