Light ON THE L!Ekl,|l|AW.
Castle Miners Bring Suits Which
Arc Contested by the Sher-
man Company.
Suing the City FOR Damages on
Account Of q Street
Excavation.
To ForscIoss > Mortgage Given BY the
sole Deviaee Of Madam Eokert
and Her Executor.

An appeal was filed In tbs supreme court
yesterday which will most likely cause sono
light TO b. she'd upon the mechanics lien
law Of tho state. Several men who were
employed by tho Sherman Mining COM
pany at Castle fled liens against the oom-
psny's claims in Msagher county. Suits
were brought in the district court at White
sulphur Springs before Judge Frank Henry
to forecloss the liens, which was done.
Thompson 4 Maddox, tho attorneys for the
Mining company, have appealed from
Judge Hsnry's order. They hold that no
lien ID given TO q laborer OF sub-contractor
for the contract price Of his work or mater
ial by the mechanics lien Law Of the state.
They say . reference to the liens exhibited
with the complaints shows that IN no case
do the lions contain an account. "There 10
no detailed statement OF the demands;
only q statement setting down in q round
sum what the PLAINTIFF claim ~ the balance
due. The liens are held TO be defective in
furnishing no information as to the amount,
character or nature OF tho work. Section
one. Of the act OF March 8,
1877. requires = description sufficient At
least for the purpose Of Identifying the
extent Of the lion to one acre when the land
10 outside Of any town or city. The prop
erty described is a quartz mining claim. 1t
appears from the complaint "A answer
that this property is outside of any town
and embraces fifteen acres of land. No
effortis made to describe tbs acre to which
each claimant seeks to apply bis lisn."

THE ECKERT ESTATE,

Suit to Foreclose a Mortgage Given by the
Executor and Devisee.
Suit was commenced in the district court
yesterday against Dr.. W. L. Steele, exeou-
tor of the estate of Mary Ann Eckert,
known to old-timers as Madam Eckert,
and her daughter, Martha Taylor Eckert
schwabe. and her husband and others who
claim to have some interest in the mort.
gagged premises. A great sensation was
created in Helena when Madam Eokert
died in 1883, and her name WAS connected
with the murder Of John Dem, which took
place some years before in a stone ware
house at the corner of Wood and Jackson
streets. It was said that Madam Eckert
would make = confession and there were
all sorts of rumors floating about, but if
the madam had any secret ii probably died
with her, 80 far as the public knows. After
Dr.. Steele was appointed executor. Martha
Schwabe, the sole devisee. mortRaged two
lots on Water street for $4,000 to M.
Boiles Il Co.. who assigned the mortgage to
Henry @. Moses. who now brings suit to
foteclose and for $500 attorney fees.

SUING H CITY,

Dillon Asks for $500 Damages to His Team
and Buggy.
One night last August while a crowd wore
returning from a CIRCUS near Helsns avenue
below the Steamboat block a man and two
women in a buggy came up the avenue At a
foir gait. In front of the Steamboat block
the horses fell into a deep excavation,
leaving the buggy and occupants standing
At the edge Of the hole. One Of
the horses was pulled out
with ropes. His mate was wed0ed in at tho
bottom and after an hour or 80 died. The
~bystanders got a derrick after recovering
one horse and tried to get ths othsr out bus
did not succeed. 1he team belonged to p.
d. Dillon, a livery stable keeper at Mays
vile. who hired il to W. H. Shay. When
he gave HE testimony yesterday in Judge
Bucks court Shay said there was no light
on the side of the excavation facing him
when no drove up the avenue toward town.
Other testimony showed thst there was a
smoky lantern on the other side Of the ex-
~cavation near the sidewalk but was hid
from view 10 anyone coming up the avenue
by the earth from the hole which was piled
up on each side. Dillon wants $500 dam
ages. Perry g. Purcell are his attorneys.

The 6 Meetings Of the Montana Circuit,

The 6 Meetings Of the Montana Circuit,
AS shown above, present to the
horsemen of the country 43 actual
days of racing, and provide one
hundred thousand dollars in purses
and added money to stakes.
The programme includes rum
ming, trotting and pacing.
The tracks are all full mile,
regulation, and no expense has
been spared to make them both
safe and fast.
The stables are large and
commodious. 49,. +.
The grounds are located within
easy distance of the various cities
and are connected with them by
steam railroads or electric motors.
The betting privileges will be
in the hands Of capable men, we'll
known to all horsemen. Last
year, with five meetings, about
100000 passed through the
pools, aside from the books; and
with the increased interest and
high class of contests expected,
it is certainly safe to predict larger
sales this year.
Our circuit is the center of rae
ing for the Pacific coast and
Rocky Mountains. Horsemen
coming from the south can at
tend the May.June running meet
ing at Denver, where $4,000
are offered in purses, and the
mixed meeting commencing June
II, on the new mile track at Salt
Lake City, where purses aggre-
gate $4,000; or coming from
the northwest can follow the
Spring meetings at Portland,
Walla Walla, Spokane Falls, and
other points in Washington and
Oregon, finishing the Montana
circuit in ample time for the Fall
races in other sections.
Nothing will be left undone by
the officers of the different asso-
Citations to insure the comfort and
convenience of owners and train
ers who attend and enter horses
on the circuit.

TALKATIVE BARRIERS.
A New Yorker Claims That Those of Chi
caPO Take the Palm

n new 1OTker Chains Ina6 1hOSe OF Chi
cago Take the Palm.
1.-THE New York BARRIERS have the rep
utation of being the most talkative
BARRIERS in the world said a CONNER
cial traveller the other day, "but it's my
idea that they are abused in that line.
Experience teaches me that they are
about the least communicative of all
the BARRIERS / have seen.
''On my last trip to the west stayed
at one of the best hotels in Chicago,
and one evening 1 dropped into the
barber shop connected with the hotel to
get shaved and freshened up little. 1t
was a large shop, and was informed
by the barber before I had fairly set
tied in the chair that there were thirty
artists employed night and day in the
place.
"'This is a pretty big shop 1 re-!
marked, looking at the handsomely
frescoed ceiling; must have plenty of
business here, eh?'
Eyes, we have plenty of business.
Not as much as we used to have,
though, replied the barber
"'What's the matter with it /? Seems
to be busy enough at present.
Eyes business enough for the house;
not much good to the artists, though.
I'll tell you,' he continued, growing
confidential, the secret to the whole
matter is, electric light outside, Israel
lite inside See? That's the trouble.
All the BARRIERS here work on per cent
age. Amt that trouble enough
II was beginning to wonder if all
this meant an extra large tip from me,
when the barber began once more.
What do you think 1 make on an
average day?'
"'Oh, eight or ten dollars 1 replied,
thinking had made the amount high
enough to satisfy the man.
Eight or ten dollars!' he echoed,
stopping work and looking at me in
mute establishment. Eight or ten dol
lars! l wish l did make that much, but
don't Say, if / make a dollar a day
I'm lucky. It's pretty rough on me,
too. My wife is an invalid-has been
for twenty years (the barber was not
more than thirty years old at the out
side)-and 1 have to get the best ply
sicians l can find. have sent her to
California, Hot Springs, Florida and
everywhere you can think of, but she
won't improve in health
g DO you accomplish this on dollar
a day?' asked.
'"The barber blushed Chicago kind
Of blush. You know what that is?
You need magnifying glass to see it.
But he stuck to his story. He did it all
on dollar day. By this time the bar
Der had finished with his work. 1
thought he deserved tip and l gave
him one, but not until after he had ex-
planned that it was the rule of the shop
to charge fifteen cents for shaving, of
which the barber got six and the house
nine cents. New York BARRIERS may en-
deavor to talk one to death, but they
are not in it with the BARRIERS out

MONDAY Might Meeting.

The meeting at the courthouse was
the precursor Of success. Voters and
enthusiasm prevailed. The house was
packed, and many were not accommo-
dated. The principal talks were made
by lends and Garrison. Ellis and
DeGeer made a few remarks. This
meeting, like all the other populist
meetings during the campaign, had the
air Of confidence IN our ultimate sue
cess, which always awakes ENTHUSIASM.
1t was in vain the republicans marched
their hambeaus past the court house;
the people have stopped following fam
beaus and flambeau orators. The light
Of truth and justice is all the light they
need. Compared with the republican
meeting it was simply hummer. But
we can afford to be merciful to Ed. and
give hun credit, as he seems to be the
only political orator the republicans
have left in the county

4 GRAND SUCCESS /!
The Peoples Party Picnic Gathers the
Largest Crowd OF the Season.

Owing to the threatening afternoon
of Wednesday. many from a distance
was deferred from starting, but the
crowd was nevertheless a large one.
and an exceedingly orderly one.
The picnicers gathered on the fat
north OF the depot and rode through
the town to the picnic grounds. The
number of teams were vanousiy esti-
mated from 225 to 30. ard the people
in the procession from $50 to 205O. The
crowd outside of the procession was a
very large one.
After dinner in which the barbecu
ed beef rapidly disappeared, the crowd
were entertained by Mr.. Lands and r.
Garrison for short time.
Jerry and the glee club were met at
the train and escorted to the grounds by
MingOna's delegation of 81 little girls
dressed in red, white, and blue, and rep
resenting the different counties of the
big It'll, also, BY the troop poi horse back
riders 20 in number
jerry was received on the grounds
with the utmost enthusiasm. Sir.
Moody made the address Of the after
noon. though the Impotence of the au.
dience 10 hear M Simpson was poorly
suppressed, Mr.. Simpson was too hoarse
tospeak more than few words. The
glee-club consisting of Bir. Edward
Murphy and hissIsters misses Meta anu
Manda received The same applause they
receive everywhere else.
The universal expression was'' They
are the best we ever heard
The evening meeting was one of I'M
bounded enthusiasm. Jerry received
such ovations as few men receive.
Though he said but little, every word
was 4 signal forappause. Mr.. Moody g
address was one of unusual ability.
His style was clear and forcible. His
line of thought was decidedly pure and
elevating, carrying throughout moral
tone of the highest order. The enthus-
lsam with which his speech was receiv-
Ell showed The high appreciation IN
which it was held. The meeting not
merely on account of the large crowd,
but on account of the interest manifest
ed, as well, was one to give encourage
ment to every true disciple of govern
mental reform. Let the good work 90

That Ki0wa Meeting.

Circulars were sent all over the coun-
ty from republican headquarters to re-
hablerepublIcans to rally round the
yellow ribbon at Kiowa, and raise a
bigger crowd than Simpson had at
Medicine Lodge. They tried hard,
they did their best. We must give
them credit for it. Medicine Lodge
was even loyal enough to send a large
delegation Of really nice looking ladies
nicely equipped in "yaller," and they
were kind enough to give three cheers
in front of the INDEX office, (presuma-
bly, for usl while on dreis parade be-
fore marching to the train. The effort
at crowd failed by half, but was a
good crowd nevertheless, though not a
vote making meeting. G. /. Long
spoke in bis usual candidate style.
