FOR THE PLAINTIFF.

The suit of D. S. Stern VS.. Frank
Thayer to recover certain rent alleged
TO be due, was on trial again Monday.
Mr.. Thayer was put on the stand, but
as the defense had some difficulty in
proving Mr.. Hance's agency for Mr.
Stern in regard to leasing of rooms
the progress was very slow, every
other question being objected to.
This afternoon DR.. j. FL. James,
Miss Ellen Thayer and Mrs. Rose Nc
Laughlin were called by the defense.
This closed the testimony and Mr..
Cray, attorney for the plaintiff, moved
that the court instruct the jury to
find a verdict for the plaintiff for
$144.57 In deciding to do so, the
court stated that the case involves
the questions of the agency of Mr..
Hance and the surrender of the lease.
As the case is not long one and in
expensive to try, he would let it go to
the Supreme Court on an order deny
ing a new trial. On account of the
doubt of the agency Of Mr.. Hance, he
had 10 instruct the jury to find for the
plaintiff. This the jury did. The
case will go TO the Supreme Court.

MADELIA, Mimi, Dec. 26, 1892.
Henry Guth got into an alteration
with Patrick Navin Saturday night
about 10 o'clock, and was cut with a
knife in the thigh. The large artery
was severed and Guth died in about
20 minutes. He was carried to DR.. G.
0, Cooley's office but was dead before
they got him to the doctor. The cut
was about an inch in length and deep
enough to sever the large artery in
the thigh.
Navln is now under arrest, and the
coroner, DR.. Rowe, held an inquest
yesterday. Navin is young man
about ~ years old, and has resided in
Freedom for several years. Guth is
10 years old, and lately came here
with his father from Mankato. His
father bought farm from DIR. A. w.
Cheney, near the village, and moved
there about month ago.
LATER.-The coronor's jury brought
in a verdict that he came to his death
from stab with knife in the hand
of Patrick Navin. The fathers name
is Arnold Guth, and the Lamm's of
Mankato are relatives.
The evidence showed that they had
row in saloon and Guth started to
to 60 home and got in the rear of the
Flander block and Navin and he went
together in a fight, and soon Guth
said he was stabbed and ran around
buggy. Several witnesses saw the

From Justice Crane, who held an inquest
over the remains of the Smith brothers,
thirty miles southeast of Big Sandy, yes
terday morning, we learn the particulars
of the shooting affray which took place
there on Saturday, says the River Press.
The two brothers, Rufus and Robert, had
had frequent quarrels, and about a week
previous to the shooting had divided the
property satisfactorily, Robert retaining
the ranch and Rufus, in addition to other
property, getting two OF the buildings on
the ranch. Rufus was also to be allowed
pasture fOr Two DOrses whlle tearing down
and removing the buildings. On Saturday,
with an enploye, Rufus brought four
horses instead of two, and put them in
the pasture. From this a quarrel arose,
and after some hot words Rufus drew "A
revolver and shot, the ball striking Robert
on the lip and passing through his head.
He grappled with RUFUS, who placed the
revolver against Roberts breast and fired.
The bullet penetrated his heart and he fell
dead. After fiourishing the gun for few
moments, Rufus started for "A building sew
eral rods away, and after passing around
it a shot was heard. The witnesses OF the
affair had gathered around Roberts body,
| but at once started in search Of Rufus,
whom they found dead, with bullet
| wound over his heart. He had shot him
self, and his clothes we're still burning.
Robert Smith was a married man, and a

THE MONTANA BUILDING.
An Interesting Letter From the Bozeman
Chronicles Representative Regarding
the Montana Building.

A few days since l had occasion to
call at the woman's department of the
Worlds Fair and | there learned that
work had been begun on the Montana
state building. Feeling a strong de-
sire to know if the state for which
have so warm an ELECTION was to
have building worthy of it, immedi-
ately started on a tour of investiga-
ton. had no trouble in finding the
building as the site selected is a most
favorable one. 1t is at the extreme
north end OF the ground reserved in
Jackson Park for state buildings, not
far from q main entrance, and about
three-hundred yards from Lake Michi-
gan, which with it's ever varying sur
face will prove never failing source
OF enjoyment to the visitor. On the
west is the Utah building, and on the
east is the site reserved for Idaho,
however, there is as yet no sign Of
building. Very near and a little to
the south are the buildings of New
York, the Carolinas, Virginia and
Maryland. A short distance directly
south is the grand entrance OF the
Gallery of Fine Arts, not far away Is
charming little lake, where during
the fair will he seen every conceivable
kind of pleasure craft, and all things
considered the Montana building is
most advantageously located.
My first feeling on seeing the build
ing was that of disappointment and
disapproval. 1t seemed so small.
Well, it isn't large when compared to
the Illinois building. 1t covers an area
of only 64x144 feet, but what it lacks
in size is amply atoned for in artistic
arrangement, and before had finished
looking through, disappointment
yielded to pleasure and disapproval
to perfect satisfaction. This building
has been pronounced by architects
one of the most beautiful and one tru-
est to the style of architecture on the
grounds. The design is Romanesque,
the facade being particularly attrac-
tive. Over the large arched entrance
and Just in front of the dome is mag
niticent stag over ten ieet in height,
and measuring ten feet from tip to tip
of the horns. On either side is a pedi-
ment 14x3 feet, the design of which is
composed of fruit, flowers and orna-
mental scroll six inches in relief. The
panel plaques on either side OF the
main entrance vestibule are to be of
gold, and on one will be the motto,
CORA y plata" on the other the state
coat OF arms. The main vestibule is
paneled in staff, finished in hardwood,
with marble floors and wainscoting.
From this vestibule are entrances into
the parlors, reception rooms, and into
a rotunda which is quite unique in
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1892-09-15

finish and will be very interesting to
Montanians. The sixteen hardwood
panels represent the sixteen counties
of the state. On each panel will he a
design in relief ofsome historica event
of particular interest to the county
represented. From the rotunda are
entrances into parlors and reception
rooms, also an entrance into the rear
part OF the building. On the first floor
in the rear are two offices, exhibit and
banquet hall, baggage rooms, kitchen,
pantry and two lavatories, while the
second story contains the gallery, sur
mounted by dome of glass and iron.
Nothing that can add to comfort has
been forgotten, and every Montanian
will feel just pride in the states
headquarters. The chief material
used in the construction is staff. IL is
composed chiefly OF gypsum, alumnia,
glycerine and dextrine. IL has the APP
pearance OF marble, is impervious to
water and whitens with age. Although
invented but a few years ago, being
first used in the construction of the
Paris exposition building of 1878, il
has taken a permanent place among
building materials. Eight weeks ago
work was begun and the building will
be finished by the first of September.
For data l am indebted to Mr.. Gal
braith, who, regret to say, is longing
to return to his western home. |
thought Chicago sufficiently windy
to satisfy even Livingstonian.
Woman is taking a most active part
in the fair work. The Arkansas build
ing was not only designed by a woman,
but the construction will be superin-
tended by her. | advise all young
men and women who contemplate Wis
iting the fair TO spend as much time
as possible in the study OF architec-
ture and sculpture that they may he

preciate the beatty and grandeur OF
the buildings. Il. E. BAGsHAwE.

SOME VALID OBJECTIONS.
Several Citizens Raise Some OBJ
jectIons to Paving Chemek-
eta Street.

Rev. J. s. White of st. Joseph's
Catholic church, has raised what
he considers a valid objection. He
said to a reporter today:
"Why does the council single out
Chemeketa street for paving eX-
pertinent? Chemekets is not
driving street like Court street. No
one drives on it for pleasure or busi-
ness who can go elsewhere, on ac-
count of the Electric railway cars
constantly running there and fright
ening horses. If all the principal
streets in the city are ordered i'm
proved, there would be some justice
in that, and as many would be found
willing to pay on Cbemketa as any
other. Those who want the street
improved should be accommodated
in front Of their property by the
council"
Judge Jas. Walton was seen and
said: "The people of Center and
Chemeketa have been taxed for
thirty years, to improve CONNER
cial and State street, and turn about
would be no more than fair play"
