AN EXPENSIVE VICTORY.
John w. Frost Gets q Dollar DAM
ages From Thomas D. Reilly
for Assault
The Judgment Did Not Equal the
Amount offered to
Settle.
DO this Winner Had to Pay tbs Costs In
Cured In tho Priests Pass
r0ubl

After a two days struggle in Judge
Flsischer's court, John w. Frost yesterday
got . verdict Of 81 damages against Thorn
Ms d. Reilly. The case has something OF a
history. Frost and Reilly live on Ten Mile.
and are neighbors Of Mrs. Celeste b.
Priest. Some time ago Mrs. Priest secured
nm injunction in the district court to pre-
vent Joseph Girard. who ID associated with
Frost, driving through her grounds. After
the injunction was issued, II il claimed that
Frost tore down Mrs. Priests fence and
continued to use her place ~ \ public high
way. The fence was again put mp by the
owner. Thomas D. Reilly, a six-footsr
with a hand like a ham and heart AZ big as
q watermelon, sspoused the course OF Mrs.
Priest for the reason that tho
lady had no men about the
house to fight her battles.
Tn September q last, Reilly went to the
Priest place, having been informed that
Frost was threatening further trouble.
While he was there Frost came along and
announced his intention to again tear down
the fence. This ang.red Reilly, who used
his fists to good advantage on Frost. The
latter swore out q warrant against Reilly,

the difficulty. went before Judge Woodman
and confessed the assault. He was fined
$40. Frost then brought suit before Judge
Fleisher for $500 damages which he claimed
to have received at the hands of Reilly.
This was the case decided yesterday by a
jury. No denial was made of the assault.
In fact, the defense had already offered to
admit damages in the sum of $40.
This offer was not accepted and
the matter had to 60 to trial. The
plaintiff was represented by j. W. 6hober,
II. r. Comfy and George Foote. The coun-
sci for Reilly wero Mnssena Billiard, T. j.
Walsh and G. B. Nolan. Messrs. Comfy
and Nolan were not present. The court
room was crowded, principally with wit
nesses and neighbors who had come in to
see the issue Of the war over in Priests
pass.
Til main question was as to the amount
of damages Reilly's fists had inflicted on
Frost, There was considerable difference
of opinion on this point, n side contend
ing that Frost had been bumped around
until he bled at the nose, mouth and ears.
The other side held that the damage IN,
ficted WAS slight. The arguments occupied
most of the afternoon and the jury were
out only a few minutes, bringing in a
verdict for Frost for one dollar.
This, while apparently in Frost's
favor, really throws on him all the
costs except such as Reilly incurred for
| s~ubpoenaing witnesses prior to his offer to
settle the matter. Section All of the code
of civil procedure provides that, 1.-THE de-
fendant may at any time before the trial or
Judgment, serve upon the plaintiff an offer
to allow Judgment to be taken against him
for the sum or property. II the notice OF
acceptance be not given the offer shall be

An Old Lady for Whom Somebody no
#s"- ~ ..4 Doubt Cares. #
Some two weeks ago an old lady was sent
to the poor farm under the name of Mary
Brown. She escaped and went to Elliston,
whore she told the people she had a son
somewhere in these parts and was looking
for him. Her actions led to the belief that
she was out Of her head and she was sent
back to Helena. Here some kind hearted
people took care of her for \ night and she
was sent back to the poor farm. 1t has
been ascertained since that her name is
Mrs. Watson, and that she has a son,
Frank Watson, somewhere in this western
country. She ia no doubt somewhat de-
ranged. but this part of her story is be-
lieved by those who have heard it. 1t is
probable that Frank Watson. if he could
be located. would be glad to help his aged
and unfortunate mother.

THE BEEF QUESTION.
Something of an Idea of What Beef Eat
Ing Nation Ours Is.

The advance in beef in the East was an
ticipated, we believe, by shrewd men en-
gagged in the cattle business, when they saw
the farmers of the middle Western states
sending away half fattened cattle by droves
last autumn. they not being able, because
of a partial failure of the corn crop, to feed
the animals. The result was they got very
little for them, and now when they could
get good price they have nothing to sell.
An advance of 80 per cent in beef is fear
full thing on a beef eating country like
ours. and still we do not understand how,
with SO many cattle in the country, the
calamity has come about, except from the
fact that during the last three or four years
cattle raising has not been, as rule. profit
able, and great many men have gone out
of the business. Four years ago, or five
years ago, the Tribune published
q statement that there were
100000 head of cattle in the United
States. or about one for every five persons,
and expressed the belief that the cattle
business would be improbable for two or
three or four years to come. We remember
it distinctly, because a good many cattle
men complained that the paper had no right
to make such showing, as it would hurt
their business. But it seems it was right
after all. For two or three years they did
not make any money. In the same article
the Tribune expressed the belief that if cat
tlemen would unload as fast as possible
their matured or nearly matured cattle, the
Young stock in the next three or four years
would bring them ample prices. 1t looks
now as though that advice was going 10

principles that if the farmers throughout

to effect his escape. Lloyd poisoned ~

He was convicted for attempting to poison

a few weeks ago that new evidence had
come to light that would convict him of the
murder of his children and that he would
be taken back and tried for that crime
He grew desperate and last night made an
other effort to escape, but the guard, who
was watching him, shot him dead.

the country would raise as many cattle as
they could possibly feed with their coarser
foods. and have barley or corn or some
other grain sufficient to stabilized the cattle
they want to sell. for four or six weeks,
at the right time, they could almost
always obtain a fair reward for their
labor. OF course when the corn crop
fails throughout the old West it breaks up
all the arrangements of stockmen- And

Sensational Testimony.

LINCOLN, NEB., May IA sensation
was created in the Sheedy murder trial by
the testimony of DR.. Winert. To the sur
prise of every one he produced the skull of
the deceased and exhibited it before the
jury, showing the fractures caused by the
cane stroke He testified that death did
not result from the fracture nor from con-
cussion of the brain, but from morphine
poison. This is regarded as very damaging
to Mrs. Sheedy, defendant, and in favor of
the negro who assaulted Sheedy.
