or eight months rival sheriffs rave been
disturbing the county and he's state with

nothing criminal about all this, but il is n
little peculiar.
Speaking about the duplex boards OF
trade, there are n good many things that
need booming, m people who have n pet
schemewill show wise heads in going to the
boards Of trade while they are at sword
points. One board should be induced to
start a base ball club and run II, and the
other might get up a mammoth Fourth Of
July celebration. 1t is all right to wine and
dine the Michigan journalists, but two
boards are not needed to 10 that n one of
them might make itself popular by getting
up a grand reunion and excursion for the
journalists Of Montana. One a carry
through q road to Champion and the
other can send out surveying parties to

railroad westward through Idaho. One
can start O stock exchange and the other
agitate q school OF mines.
Two district courts would not have been
such a very bad thing for this county,
considering the amount OF business that
is to be done. Although Judge and attor-
have accomplished a great deal in dispos-
ing of cases, yet the amount Of work still
ahead on the calendar is prodigious. A
lawyer remarked to-day that in spite of
| the utmost efforts of the legal mill, the
| number of cases ahead of the court is
greater than il was when the mill began
grinding last winter. There have been
more new cases filed h old cases dis
posed of. III this continues, II may be-
come necessary TO have separate courts
for criminal n civil business.
George Kessler Is quite a well known
figure In Butte, probably having as many
acquaintance and as many friends as
anyone i'm town. But of all the Many who
know him there are very few who are
aware that George Kessler is not his right
name. II is said that Georges family
stands quite high in social circles, and
would be deeply grieved IL they were
aware of the fact that n member of that
family ever engaged in prize-fighting.
Every year George takes a trip to see his

George, while at his distant home, has
even been startled by such n close ques-

Sheriff Sullivan has for many month";
almost alone and unaided, borne tn
brunt OF the Thirty-fourth precinct con
troversy. Alone he carried the case 4
