GILT EDGE ITEMS.

VIM. Selvidge is constructing a build
ing on Main street which he intends
to use as a livery stable.
Gilt Edge has had it's frst case of
courtesan beating and the young fell
low who did it satisfied justice by
paying a fine of $50 and costs. The
public schools must be maintained
even if it is a little expensive.
A hunting party, consisting of Gray,
benson, Robinson and Wise, returned
from the bad lands last Sunday, where
they havve been hunting for the past
two weeks. Gray succeeded in killing
one deer. The other boys say it was
one Billy Selvidge left wounded when
he was in that section recently.
A marriage, and in Gilt Edge, is what
somebody told somebody. The bride
elect is a charming daughter of Eve,
who until lately, lived in Maiden. The
groom, they say, is a charming young
Englishman, who is heir to a fortune
of S43 900. But l don't know his
name, so don't ask any questions.
A teamster in the employ of Peter
Hansen, an ore contractor, had a
narrow escape on Monday. He was
coming down from the Gilt Edge mine
when the rough Lock on his Wagon
gave way, precipitating the Wagon
over the side of a steep grade, com
pletely demolishing it and injuring tn,
horses so they will be unfit for worl
for some time. The driver escaped.
Rumor has it that Mr.. Sherard ha,
resigned his position as general mana
ger OF the Gilt Edge Mining compan,
and disposed of his stock. The dam,
has it that he starts for Californi,
Immediately, where he will supervis
the building of a $50 stamp mill
Thos. MaloDey of the Spotted Horse
took charge of the mines to day, an,
Markell, heretofore assayer, assume
control of the mill.
Quite a number of Gilt Edge peopl
have been in Lewistown shopping
within the past week. Mr.. and Mrs
Van Spalding, while returning from
the county seat made a valuable fin,
la bottle of whisky. 1t is not a won
derful fact, the finding of liquid hard
ware, but no one remembered havin
seen any Lewistown people on tn
road and it is an established fact tina
Gilt Edge people don't carry that par
ticular kind of firearms.

The Billings Gazette publishes letters
from a number of wool growers in
reply to the Helena Independents
assertion that the Mckinley law has
proven of no benefit to them. All of
the replies are tart and right to the
point. j. S. Shaub of Glendive, writes
rs follows: 81 am in favor Of protec-
ton first, last and all the time. If
they would send Mr.. Cleveland to
Hawaii to hug his wench and place
Mr.. Mckinley in the presidents chair
with a majority for the Republicans in
both houses of congress, Montana wool
would sell for Is cents in less than

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.

Friday-This morning the case
L. JelIison, both of otis6eid,
was argued before the court without a
jury. This is an appeal case from trial
Justice in Harrison. The plaintiff sued
the defendant in an action of debt for
keeping dog without license as pro-
vided by one of the acts of the last legis-
lature. The defendant filed plea in
abatement alleging that as the parties
live in Otisfeld trial justice in Harri-
son could have no jurisdiction of the
matter as there is trial justice in Otis
field, and that the matter should have
been brought before him. The defendant
further alleges that under the law as
passed by the legislature the money can
not be recovered in an action of debt,
that it can be recovered only on COM
plant.
The plaintiff claims that as to the plea
in abatement it should be disregarded
because the defendant having plead the
general issue is stopped from afterwards
filing plea in abatement. And the
plaintiff claims that as the dog law does
not expressly state that the money shall
be recovered by complaint it falls under
the statute that provides that where no
other form is designated money shall be
recovered in such cases by an alton of
debt. Decision reserved.
George Bird for plaintiff.
JIM. Libby for defendant.

OBITUARY..
Mrs. Jane b. Stanley.

@-----~~S'
The funeral services of Mrs. Jane B.
Stanley, widow of the late Rufus Stan
ley, were held at her residence on Con
gress street, on Thursday afternoon. A
large number of friends was present.
Rev. DR.. Blanchard officiated. After
reading appropriate selections of Scrip
ture, he read Bryant's poem on one who
died at an advanced age, and Hosmer' S
beautiful poem my Dead" The choir,
led by Mr.. A. B. Hall, sang II canno
always trace the way" and ''Abide
With Me-
In his remarks, DR.. Blanchard said he
had seldom met one who had drawn him
more strongly to love and esteem than
Mrs. Stanley. She was so gentle,so sweet,
SO loving, SO lavable that all who knew
her loved her deeply. Her faith in God
had been her constant help. In her
many bereavements and in her accident
few years ago, her faith that God was
the Infinite Love, gave her peace and
strength. Her children could indeed
thank God for such a mother. They
were to be comforted by the thought
that the wife had joined her husband !;
the mother her children in the higher
world. Her dear memory would be a
constant inspiration to noble living. ALI
who knew her and loved and honored
her would miss her, but it was her time
to die. From that bright world in which
she was, she would send back messages
of love and good cheer to the beloved
who still remain on earth.
At the conclusion of the service, the
friends looked once more on the placid
features, and the sacred form was con-
veyed to Evergreen cemetery for inter-
ment.

u. S. DISTRICT COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE wERB.

IL ri u A
Friday-Wyer G. Sargent and others
against the Schooner Charles 81. Trickey
and Horace M. Sargent claimant.
The libellants were owners of the
schooner Governor; which, while on
a voyage from Hallowel to New York
with cargo of paving STONES, when off
Nauset light on the 25th of August last
Charles H. Tricky.
The Hbellants claim that the Governor
had her side lights set and burned
brightly, the weather was clear and the
sea smooth, that their vessel was well
manned and equipped, and was close
hauled on the starboard tack with the
wind about southwest by west; that the
Tricky bound north and east was seen
about dusk sailing free on the port tack.
At first the green side light of the
Trickey was seen and at that time it
bore about three points on the port bow
of the Governor; that soon after both side
lights of the Tricky was seen and then
the red light shut in. Soon afterwards
the Trickey struck the Governor just
forward of the main rigging, causing
the schooner Governor to at once fill and
sink. They claim that during all this
time the Governor held her course as re-
quired by law and did all that could
have been done to prevent a collision;
that the damage resulting was wholly
the IaulG OF Inc Ir1CK0y. Iney claim
damages to the amount of about $4,000,
including freight, cargo and personal
effects OF the seamen.
The owners of the Tricky say that
their vessel was bound to Dover. N. H.,
with cargo of coal; that when off
Nauset with a fresh breeze, and all
sail set, ON a course north by west, the
wind west by south, she discovered the
Governor considerable distance away,
about one point under the Trickey's bow,
heading south course, with her star
board taeks aboard, showing only her
green light; that they continued to ap-
proach in that way until when within a
short distance the Governor suddenly,
without any cause or necessity, changed
her course, and showed both her lights,
thereupon the wheel of the Trickey was
thrown hard to port and her mizzen ssgaff
topsail and mizzen peak were dropped in
order to pay the schooner off quickly.and
prevent collision. Notwithstanding
that the Trickey struck the Governor on
her port side near the main rigging and
she soon after sunk. The Trickey lost
her jibboom, foretopmast, outer jib and
head gear and was damaged about one
thousand dollars. The case is not
finished
