through the plate glass without first per-
f%oratine a frame building, a brick build
ing and a bill board. The entire chain
of circumstances point to the ire
sistible conclusion that one man who
turned the corner of Sixth avenue and
Jackson street in haste to escape the police,
took a shot at somebody in front Of Candi-
date Jockeys building; and that he missed
his mark, much to the satisfaction of the
man who was shot ut. but greatly to the
damage of the property and feelings of Mr..
Jockey. The city council was asked to pay
for the broken glass. The council de-
clined. Had the council assented it would
have placed the city in a position where
everyone could demand to be reimbursed
for my damage to property inflicted by
burglars IN an effort to break into houses;
or for glass broken by any offender of any
grade who might shoot at any ono while
trying to escape. 1t was some time after
! this refusal by the council that Mr.. Jockey
I had painted on the window the following:
This plateQlass was broken by q bullet
while the police were pursuing criminals.
The great city OF Helena refuses to replace
or pay for the glass"
Tbs city had a legal struggle with MI.
Jockey over his taxes. Mr.. Jockey refused
to pay his taxes. claiming that the assess
ment was not legally made. etc. Mr..
Jockey went into court about it. The city
went with him.. The case was fought
tn ough the district court and the supreme
court. The city won all the way through.
Mr.. Jockey. after the supreme court had
decided against him. came up to pay his
taxes. He asked the council to relieve him
of the penalty e1ncted for not paying
promptly, aud also not to insist on his pay
ing the $500 expended for extra counsel
fees BY authority of the city council that
was in office during Mayor Kleinschmidt's
administration. The present oity council.
to whom the request was preferred. insisted
on the payment of the delinquent penalty
and the $500 counsel fees. This was early
in the present year. II was after this that
to the sign on tho broken window was added
the following: Its officials have not missed
An opportunity to harass and rob Dick
Lockey."
Mr.. Jockey was involved in other litiga-
ton with the citv. In June of last year
CITY Treasurer Walker advertised for sale
IS, 500 of warrants on the general fun and
5000 on the fire fund. to pay tho salaries
of officers and employees of the city. Mr..
Jockey enjoined tho CITY officers from dis
posing of these warrants, on the ground
that tho city had no authority to do it.
The courts again decided in favor OF tho
city. and Nj. Jockey had 10 pay the costs.
Incidentally ii may be mentioned that MIR.
Jockey refused to pay his assessment for
opening Lawrence street until forced to
do 30.
