A Mutual Pledge and a Cloak for Fl

A Mutual Pledge and a Cloak for Hi.
Wife.
r. H. Beckwith, who is suing H. e. Brun.
nell for damages for alleged libel, was in
the district court yesterday. He related
his side of the case. A clerk in III. e. Brun-
nell's dry goods store and Beckwith made q
mutual agreement that they would not
drink any thing for a year. The one who
broke the pledge first was to forfeit $50 to
the other. Stevens, it is said, broke the
agreement and Beckwith claimed the
money. 1t appears that Stevens did not
have the ready cash. Beckwith said he
then concluded to buy his wife a cloak,
which he did at Brunnell's store and told
Stevens to charge it up ON the $50. Beck
with says Stevens demurred at first, but
would assume the indebtedness. The
cloak was packed up and sent to Mrs.
Beckwith in New York. Brunnell after
wards brought the bill for the cloak to
Beckwith for payment. Beckwith says he
spoke to Stevens about it and he replied
that Brunnell had no business to present
the bill. Tbs account was presented several
finally put the bill on the delin-
quent list of the local branch of a
merchants protective association. Beck
with, on attempting to make a purchase in
a Main street store, was told that no credit
could be given him under the rules of the
association, because his name was on the
list. He went to Brunnell and in reply to
why his name had been listed, was told he
had refused to pay the bill. The local
agent of tho association was also on the
witness stand. But two witnesses were ex-
amined yesterday. There are a number to
testify and more evidence in the case will
be heard to-day.

D.. +. Douglass was tried before Judge
Fleischer yesterday for assanlt on L. Mann
helm near the Northern Pacific depot. The
evidence was pretty conclusive that Doug
lass gave Mannheim a hard whipping, and
the Judge could not go behind the evidence
and inquire into the row which began at
the republican primaries. He fined Doug
VIZ. which, with the costs, made a bill OF
$l3.S5. About a dozen citizens of the
sixth ward promptly subscribed the amount
n though Douglass himself was fully able
to pay, they would not let him. The sub
scribers to the fund passed the paper
around and the amount was made up in
sums varying from fifty cents to So. The
subscription paper says, "All We regret is
that Mr.. Douglass did not punish him
feelings of his fellow men,"

WAS NOT IN CONTEMPT.
George r. Woolston Comes Over from
Butte and Explains to
Judge Hunt.
Says He Has the Highest Re-
spect for Courts Of
Justice.
Il. H. Beckwith's Libel Suit Against II. =.
Brunnell nm Trial in the
District Court.

George r. Woolaton came over from
Butte yesterday and appeared before Judge
Hunta at the morning session Of the court,
in answer to the citation to show cause
why he should not be found guilty of con-
tempt in stating that his cases would have
been continued had he had lawyers OF .'big
reputation He was without counsel. and
stated that his interview with the reporter
of the Butte Inter Mountain was upon mat
ters of business in Butte, and that he did
not in the interview make any statement OF
any kind rejecting upon the court or Judge
Hunt, or which could be so construed. He
further said that II he had made such q
statement he would not have waited for a
citation before offering an apology. but
that he was perfectly innocent of any re-
mark rejecting upon the proceedings had
In court. He had made some remarks
about the cases, but there were
no reflections upon the Judge in
what he said. He added that he
had the highest respect for courts of JUS
tice, and that he would never be guilty Of
in any way interfering with their proceed
ings. He said that he would be glad to
have his statements verified by further in
vestigation, and LIE knew that upon such in
SooGlkutiOA Uuc JuOko WOulO lumeUldlelV
acquit him of any contempt. Judge Hunt
accepted the statement made as true, and
dismissed the proceedings against Mr..
Woolston, but added that if the remark at
tributed to Mr.. Woolston had been made it
was a contempt and a reflection upon the
official integrity of the Judge. The Judge
also told him that the continuance applied
for could not have been granted in his
cases. as no legal or equitable showing was
made, and that there was no discrimination
against his counsel. for if the most eminent
lawyers in the country had submitted such
a showing for the continuance of cases the
application must have been denied.
The article in the Butte paper which led to
the contempt proceedings said that George
4. Woolston was inclined to feel chagrined
yesterday when he received word that Judge
Hunt. at Helena, refused to grant a con-
t%inuance of some small suits he had. They
were dismissed. My request was reasona-
ble.' said Mr.. Woolston. They had come
up for the first time in that court, but l was
SO occupied with important matters here
that without iniuring my business l could
not attend to them. l will say, moreover,
that had some big lawyers or attorneys of
established reputation asked for the con-
t%inuance, it would have been granted. 1t
happened that a couple of poor struggling
young men had the cases and were not rec
ognized.' The suits involved a few hundred
dollars as commission on the Helena Con-
olidated company's big water DEAL"

ADJUSTMENTS.

Charles Mccarthy appeared at the
Wieting opera house last night in "One
of the Bravest," a play in which the ca
reer of the New York fremen is Igiven its
full title to glory, and the young actor
succeeds in carrying the idea through to
the end with genuine enthusiasm. The
spectacular feature Of the performance is
a scene at a fire, where a steam engine,
drawn by trained horses, and life-saving
apparatus are worked, as IL in
real service. This piece Of
realism wrought the audience up
to a high pitch of excitement last
night. Mr.. McCarthy's Larry Howard is
a staiwart and earnest character, whose
heroism is rational. Mr.. Mccarthy and
his assisting company also introduce q
number of specialties, principally of a
