FIGHTING FOR WATER.
The Old Prlckly Pear Water Suit on Trial
Again.

Tho Old Prickly Pear Water Suit ON Trial
Again.
The Prickly Pear water suit was reopened
Yesterday in the district court. As the at
torneys we're about to proceed with the ex-
animation of the witnesses Judge Gslbraith
remarked that there was only $50 inches of
water in the creek, while the total amount
claimed by the parties to the suit is shout
1,0uO inches. The history Of the case goes
back to the spring of 1866, when the water
was first appropriated in the valley north
of Helena. Two appropriations were made
but a few days apart and the judge who is
hearing the case without a jury will deter
mine which appropriation is the prior one.
The case was first commenced by Calvin
Beach against d. A. G. Floweree and
others. Schwab q Zimmerman, of the
Cosmopolitan hotel are also interested in
the suit. The case was on trial last sum
mer in this county before Judge Galbraith,
Judge Hunt having been at one time coun-
sci for several of the litiRants. During the
trial last sunlme Judge Galbraith issued
temporary orders allowing each party to
the suit a small portion Of the water 1ow-
ing from the creek, SO that they should not
be obliged to await the determination of
the suit to get water for irrigation pur-
poses. Seven Witnesses were examined yes
terday and a number Of others will be on
the stand to-day.

THE MERCHANTS GRIEVANCE.

They Want Protection from Travelling
Peddters-BOard of Trade Interested.
A few members of the Board of Trade
met in the corridor Of the Power block last
night for the purpose of considering the
the sale of merchandise by travelling
peddlers. The merchants Of Butte City have
come. to the conclusion that something
must be done to protect the business men
of Montana, who pay high license and taxes
for the privilege of doing business here.
They appointed j. H. Leyson and Elias
Siegel, of Butte, to visit Helena and inter-
view the merchants here with a view to Sc
curing, if possible, some legislation that
will protect Montana merchants. Other
towns have been invited to send delegates
to a convention to be held in this city on
February IL, whom steps will. be taken to
draft a bill to the Legislature, covering the
points that need legislation.
The merchants claim that Montana ia
made the dumpinR-ground for all the cast
off clothing. millinery, produce and general
merchandise thaG is unstable elsewhere;
that unscrupulous spectators bring these
articles to Montana, and by false misrepre-
sentation peddle their wares from town to
town at auction n otherwise, pay no
taxes and only a minimum Of license, and
injure the trade of the respectable mer-
chants and business men.
Lawyers have given an opinion that there
ia a remedy. The scheme suggested is to
make these pilgrim peddlers of ~cast-off
goods pay equal license with the home mer-
chants and to make the license payable a
year in advance. This law would have to be
general throughout the state, and it il con-
tended that it would keep away this class
of people, and that in view of this, the
home merchants could afford to pay a years
license at one time.
This proposition met with opposition,
Mr.. Schwab held that it would not work;
and if SO the same rule would
have to apply to all classes
of business. He did not feel like paying
his annual license a year in advance. The
hotels. he said, needed protection also.
Boarding and lodging houses, conducted
under the guise of family residences, paid
no license whatever and were an injury to
the hotels.
Mr.. Wallace favored the abolition of all
licenses. The questions were discussed at
length and it WAS decided to appoint a COM
mittee from the Board Of Trade to confer
with the committees from other towns
which would meet here next Tuesday.

The Diaphanous Test of Death.

1t has been recently stated that Il prize
offered some years ago for the discovery of
some means whereby the inexperienced
might at once determine whether in a
given case death had or had not occurred
was won by physician who had discover
ed that if a light were placed behind the
hand of the supposed dead person a scarlet
tint would be apparent where the fingers
touched each other if life was not extinct,
and that if no red glow was visible death
had taken place.
DR.. w. b. Richardson has written an es-
say in which he states that although this
test has its value, it is not by any means to
be trusted as an unfailing indication of
life or death. He gives the case of a per
son in state of syncope to whom the test
was most carefully applied Not the faint
est sign of red celebration between the
fingers could be traced, yet the recovery OF
the syncope was complete, and was effect
ed without any artificial aid.
Dr. Richardson regards it as a good test,
but is of the opinion that more certain
proofs are The pulsation, the respiratory
murmur, pressure on VEINS the electric
test for muscular irritability, the ammo

derivation, and l set myself to learn the
language | got me pronouncing die

years found had learned hundreds Of
words that I should never use, that most

about 10000 words; in Spanish there are
about half a million. You make your

A Fatality Ayerted.

Tie passengers on a Third avenue street
car recently were suddenly shaken nearly
off their seats by the full stop of the car.
The driver was seen to gesticulate wildly
as he put all his muscle into the brake.
The conductor ran to the front platform.
The horses were seen to rear up on their
hind legs and shy off the track The pas
sengers were in a state of panic and made
frantic efforts to crowd through the doors.
just ahead of the horses and within two
feet of their noses long black wire dan
gled across the tracks, twisting to and fro.
Don't go near itl' yelled the conductor,
and the crowd fell back. Then the driver
and policeman held a council of war,
which resulted in the former getting long
pole. Approaching the deadly wire eau
tiously he grasped the pole at the extreme
end and showed the threatening obstruc
ton gently aside. While he held it off the
conductor drove the frightened horses past
the spot, and thus n fatality was averted.
Meanwhile great crowd had gathered
but at a distance of fully fifty feet from
the wire. Suddenly little man elbowed
his way through their midst and ap
preached the wire. For heavens sake,

mortal to play practical jokes upon new
corners, such as sending them after white

some similar paradoXical question.
The big operating department of the
Western Union telegraph office on Broad

not realize the importance of no less per

to consult with Manager Dealey, and when

ing with the latter gentleman "A facetious
operator sent the little girl over with a
message to the short gentleman with the
black whiskers" The little one marched
bravely up to the group and, in answer to
kindly "Well. dear?" from Jay Gould
