But the Man who Bought Him Out Struck

e. A. Sweet is the name of a telegraph
operator who up to some time last summer
was employed in the Western Union Office
in Helena. For ten years past Sweet has
been working at telegraphing in the winter
and prospecting in the summer. What he
made during the winter fitted him out for
his prospecting trips and kept him going
till the time when cold weather again drove
him bach to the key. Last hummer Sweet
located a placer CLARA in Lemhi county,
Idaho. II struck him as such a rich piece
of property that he bought up adjoining
claims till he was the possesSor of 1000
acres. Then he looked around for q pur-
chaser, Ex-senator Tabor, he of the $3.50
night. shirt fame, was the person Sweet ap-
preached. Tabor promised to look into the
matter and sent out experts to
examine aud report ON the
value Of the find. They brought
back glowing reports to the ex-senator, who
at once closed with Sweet for 800. GOO for
the 1,6OO acres. Subsequent development
shows that the ground is very rich in gold,
and some estimates place the value of Ia
boris purchase as high as $15. 600, 600.
Sweet is a brother of the man who some
years ago bought a large tract of Ian near
Council Bluffs. Iowa, and which afterwards
became the present town of SweetsviIle.

The Northern Pacific Railroad Gets q New
Trial.
A new trial has been granted in the case
Of Andrew Sorenson against the Northern
Pacific Railroad company. Andrew Soren-
son IL the administrator of Neils Eorenson,
a bridge carpenter in the employ of the
railroad company in 1883. One day in
December, Nsils was working on a bridge
near Bozeman tunnel with several other
employees when IN engine came along and
the men jumped of the bridge to the
ground, a distance of about fifteen feet.
The bridge carpenter was badly injured and
died about ten days afterward. Witnesses
swore that red flags had been placed on
each side of the bridge to warn approach
ing trains that the bridge was being re-
paired. The company charged negligence
on the part Of the bridge carpenter aad the
administrator claimed the company was at
fault.
A jury in the United States circuit court
awarded the administrator $3.50 damages.
On a motion by the railroad company for a
new trial Judge Knowles holds that the jury
were not warranted in finding any such YER
dict. The case has been put upon the cal
endar for q new trial.
