THE SCHOOL STRIKE GROWS.
WALKING DELEGATES VACILATE.

TIE AFTERNOON THEY CUT TILE
NUMBER DOWN TO SEVENTEEN.

All attempts at settlement of the strikes on
the city public school buildings Of painters. car
penters framers plumbers steamfitters, rooiers
and masons failed yesterday, and at a meeting oil
the Board of Walking Delegates in the morning 1t
was decided 10 order strikes on seventy-seven
grammar and primary schools throwing over ,OO0
men out of employment. This precipitate action
of tie walking delegates was taken with the ldea
Of forcing the Board of Education TO give the con-
tracts for painting the school buildings TO RESPONSE

at the union scale Of wages, and also MS protest
against the Jumping" or sub-contracting sys-
TEN. which makes it more than likely that the
work will be done In a slipshod fashion by poorly
paid artisans.
At a meeting Of the walking delegates IN the
afternoon their previous rash resolve was re-
considered and at the solicitation of their friends
members of their unions and other family men
who have children 10 attend school, il was finally
decided that for the sake of these children they
would not help TO delay the opening OF more
schoolhouses than they thought 10 bc necessary
Besides they do not want the public 10 think
that they are not aware of the necessity for the
prompt opening of the schools; in fact, they are
anxious 10 make a speedy settlement of the
trouble The result of this second meeting was
that il was resolved 10 order strikes only on those
schools where the obnoxious contractors had non
union men at work The contractors are Matthias

IT WAS NOT IN HIS LINE.
Judge Hunt Refuses to Stop Public
Business to Decide Crooked
Races.
The Court Has Plenty Of Legiti-
mate Business Without
Doing That.
William H. Sheldon Gets Three Years for
Perjury and James McCiovern Two
Years for Forgery.

The case of Alfred Johns against S. II
Mcdonald was dismissed by Judge Hunt in
the district court Yesterday on motion OF
the defendant. It was suit which in.
volved the resistance to the payment OF
money bet on horse race on the ground
that the contest was not square" In
granting the motion to dismiss the case,
Judge Hunt made some remarks which not
only interested the lawyers and others pres
ent, but which will no doubt be read with
still more interest by the members of the
sporting fraternity.
'This is case," said Judge Hunt, where
fraud in horse race is the main question
raised in the pleadings on file. TO decide
it under the pleadings the court would
have to hear testimony as to whether
Buckskin or some other horse was able
to win race which he did not win through
alleged fraud. Under our state constitu-
ton and laws the distIict court of this dis
trict is overwhelmed with matters of weight
and honest disputes of law and fact between
parties in litigation. There are about four
hundred civil matters to be disposed of;
the court has been six weeks hearing crimi-
nal trials involving personal liberties;
there are an Infinite number of probate
matters constantly requiring attention;
there are wills Ito be heard, and surrogate
jurisdiction to be exercised: the Judge must
also devote some time to punching the ears
of cayote skins and signing bounty certifi-
Gates under the law; there are also numer-
GUS insane patients to be tried before juries
the moment the unfortunate victim comes
in; then, too, there are the TOWNSHIP mat
ter in which the court must hear petitions
for deeds to portions of the townsite of
which the judge is the trustee.
"All these matters are proper and law
fully in courts and consume the entire time
of judge; but there is no law which i'm
poses upon the court the duty of deciding
whether horse race was or was not hon
estly run and to hear a lot of witnesses as
to the real speed of a losing horse.
by common report horse race in Mon
tana is too often of unsavory notoriety to
ask the courts to help parties collect bets
made upon their queer results, and unless
the supreme court otherwise lays down the
law, the district court declines to entertain
this suit, and will order the same dis
missed.
ITO sustain my opinion I quote Justice
Blake, in Hoyt VS.. Beattie, Third Montana.
where the supreme court of the territory
quotes approvingly from Colorado these
words: The courts of this territory have
enough to do without devoting their time
to the solution of questions arising out of
idle bets made on dog and cock fights,
horse races. the speed of OK trains, the con
struction of railroads, the number on a
dice or the character of card that may be
turned up Let tho suit be dismissed

A NEW PAINTING.
The Latest Addition to the Californis
Wine House.

The Latest Addition to the California
Wine House.
The latest addition to Mr.. August Fack's
art gallery is adam and Eve" by Loewe
Marchand. Like all modern French artists,
tie painter of this picture has reduced his
mental analysis of the biblical statement to
canvas without reference to sentiment or
religious feeling. To portray the father
and mother of all mankind he has not
aimed at prototypes so much as archetypes
Of humanity. Adam, muscular, tall and
brown after his mother the earth and ex-
posure to the sun; Eve, far in color to look
upon but with vice loins and thighs and
deep breasts as is fit for the all mother.
This is the physical aspect. Adam pros
trated by blow which he comprehends;
Eve bewildered more than frightened. This
is the French estimate of the difference in
intellectually between man and woman.
At least as q study of anatomy it is superb.
Nothing need be said of either the land
scape or the angel; they are necessary Incl
dents to the central figures.
This painting was hung in Mr.. Fack's
place last evening, where it will remain on
exhibition for some time. It is attracting
great attention from lovers of art.

SENT TO THE PEN,
William H. Sheldon and James McGoverr
Sentenced.

William H. Sheldon and James McGovern
Sentenced.
Judge Hunt, in the district court, yester-
day imposed sentences on James McGoyer1
and William FL. Sheldon. McGovern, Il
will be remembered, was convicted of forg.
ing check for 500 on the First National
bank. Judge Hvnt sent him to the peni-
Tertiary for three years. Sheldon's perjury
consisted in swearing falsely in civil case
in which Arthur A. La Rue was interested.
After that case was decided he and La Rue
had falling out and Sheldon went to Law
yer Wallace and told him that his testimony
was false and that ne had been promised
money for giving the evidence he did. His
admission was put in the form OF an affida-
Wit, and was the main thing which convict
ed Sheldon on his trial. Judge Hunt gave
him two years in the penitentiary. La
kue's trial will come up later.

Messrs. Seideman d Ledger have pur-

and propose to keep up the reputation Of
the old firm for furnishing tho public thu
best meats in the city. Messrs. Seidemar
g. Ledger are thoroughly conyersant with
the business ana the patrons of the Blake
market, who are very good proportion 81
the city's population, will find that the
new management will attend a. faithfully
to their orders as the old management did,
Newcomers in the city, who have not vet
decided where they will trade, will do well
to give the new firm a call. First class
meats, courteous attention and prompt de-
livery is the motto of the new firm and
there is no question but that in . little
while the market of Seideman & Ledger
will be as much a household word in Hell
