Stealing Amalgam.

All OF last Tuesday afternoon and
evening was occupied by justice Of the
peace Wilcox in the examination Of
WIN. Farley, charged in a complaint
with stealing amalgam from the Della
mar mill. Farley was arrested Sunday
evening and upon his room being
searched, about four ounces of amalgam
was found which he admitted was his.
He was arrested and his room searched,
because of information given to Capt.
Plummer by one J. ]. Peters, who init
mated that the stealing had been going
on for some time past. On the examin-
ton Peters testified that the defendant
had told him he would have as much
as mule could pack before spring. But
failure was made to produce sufficient
evidence to hold the accused for the
grand jury and, upon motion of the de-
fendanps attorney, the charge was re-
duced to petit larceny and another trial
had by jury the following day.
Farley was acquitted, the evidence
not showing that the amalgam found in
his possession was the property of the
DeLamar Co.
One ]. ]. Peters was principal witness
for the prosecution. 1t appeared that
the accused and Peters had come to the
camp together had been ehums and
had quarreled, after which Peters gave
Farley away to the company. The cir
cumstances were such as to make the
jury believe that Peters made up his
story out of spite, or more probably be-
cause Farley would not divide.
Many person believe that Farley was
guilty and that there was some truth
in the statement made by Peters
and that he had cache of
stolen amalgam, but Peters vindictive-
ness won sympathy forthe accused and
Indignation against the accuser.
The sentiment which made Farley
kind of martyr, is not proper one and
is to be deprecated.

Death of Napoleon Contancin.

T. Napoleon Contancin, known be every
body in DeLamar, died in Salt Lake
City, January L, 1894. Mr.. Contancin,
for several months past, was a sufferer
from dropsy, and went to Boise City for
medical treatment, returning here occa-
sionally to look after business affairs. A
fortnight ago he went to Salt Lake, his
friends here having but slight hope that
he would ever return, and were not sur
prised when they heard the news of his
death. His body was enbalmed and
sent to Boise City, where his funeral
took place on Wednesday.
Mr.. Contancin was born in France in
1927 /; came to the United States VI hen a
young man, first locating in the quaint
old French town of St. Geneveive, NO.,
and from. there followed the adventur-
Gus spirits who made up the fir trader
and early settlers of the northwest, be-
ing known all over Montana and Idaho.
He came to DeLamsr soon after the
camp began to grow, five years ago, and
opened saloon in which business he
prospered. He has been a quiet citizen,
winning the esteem of the community.
His business affairs were put in shape
some time since, his death being looked
for. Messrs. B. H. Coleman & Co., of
Boise City, who were his financial back
ers when he began business here, have
charge of his estate.

He said he subscribed to the declaration of the
gentleman from New York (Mr. Sickles) that
the Commissioner of Pensions was guilty of bad
law and bad manners. The Commissioner had
assumed legislative as well as executive and
judicial functions, and attempted to override
the laws of Congress. The Bureau was being
conducted on the principle How not to do it,"

was a protest by the Commissioner of Pensions
as restricting and limiting the execution of the

might be the means Of working great distress

night during her stay Col. Breckenridge
visited Miss Pollard, remaining with her
till IL o'clock at night. When he was
ready to go he would knock on the mid
die door for the witness. Each time she
saw Miss Pollard in bed with her night
dress on. Witnesssaid in parting Brock

member of the grand lodges of the state

days of August, 1892, he met her at the

marry the plaintiff. She wanted him to
wait two years, then go to Europe with
Miss Willard on a school trip
for young ladies. He strenously opposed
being left alone, saying that such de-
sertion would be selfish and she gave it
up. A letter from Miss Catherine Will
lard, dated Gray Gables. Buzzard's Bay,
Mass, in October, 1892, referring to the
proposed European trip was read. The
witness detailed at length the constant
attention paid her by Breckenridge say

deem his promise, being already married.

to Oppose the State

DENVER, March 15.-No attempt was
made yesterday to GUST the old fire and
police board, but late last night Gov
Waite ordered the First regiment to as
semble at l p. m. today. Undoubtedly
the governors intention is to install the
new commissioners by force. In accord
ance with orders the militia assembled
at 1 o'clock. Long before that hour the
streets leading to the city hall were
crowded with spectators. The city may
be said to be under martial law. While
the militia were at the armory the police
we're massed at the city hall to oppose
them, and the chief of the fire depart
ment strung hose through
the building with which to
oppose the militia. The sheriff sent re-
Inducements, armed with Winchesters
and also sent a telegram to Fort Logan
to ascertain if, in case of need, he could
secure the assistance of government
troops. The commander answered that
he could do nothing without instruc-
tions from Washington. Attorneys for
the board say that should the governor
attempt, with the aid of the militia, to
interfere contrary to Judge Graham's in
junction, he will be Immediately arrest
ed and thrown into the county Jail. The
militia are now within a few blocks Of
the city hall. 1t is reported that they
have orders to fire on the building i'm
mediately upon the refusal of fhe police
to grant them possession. A heavy COR
don of armed police surround the city
hall and a battle looks inevitable.

LICENSE REVOKED.
DIR. Kellogg Of Helena Roundly De.
nOunced by Judges Hunt
and Buck.
They Pronounce His Conduct Unpro
fessiOnal. Immoral, and Dis
honorable.
The Revolving of DR.. KellOgg's Lii.
cense by the State Medical
Board Sustained.

HELENA, March 16.-[Special to The
TRIBUNE.HJudges Hunt and Buck in
the district court today handed down
their decision in the Kellogg case regard
ing the action of medical board in revok-
ing his license. Their decision upholds
the board. The counsel for Kellogg
asked for a stay of judgment pending an
appeal to the supreme court. This the
court refused, saying that his license
must be be stopped Immediately. The
opinion recites the testimony given on
the recent trial and analyses IT.; refers to
the attempt to prove that Mrs. True was
the mother Of the child whose headless
body was found in the furnace in the
Masonic building where the doctor has
his office located, and concludes:
After a careful consideration of the evI-
dence, we are irresistibly forced to con-
clude that Kellogg has utterly failed to
explain his connection with this head
less f9tus which he threw into the fur
mace Of the Masonic building. Nor is
this conclusion reached without due re.
gard to the grave consequences to the de-
PENDANT. We fully realize that to de-
prive a practicing physician Of his IL
, cense by judicial decree is to put upon
him ineffacable disgrace and to humili-
ate him in the minds of thinking men;
but, on the other hand, the object of the
medical law in this state being to protect
the public against ignorant or dis
honorable, unprofessional, and immoral
practitioners, the duty of the court is
done when it has sifted the evidence and
applied the law without regard to the
consequences to any individual. The de-
fence seems to have been daringly con-
ceived but the mind which invented it
could not anticipate the force of the
plaintiffs rebuttal, which utterly ami
hilated any possible impression of the
truth of its foundation. Moreover it is
founded upon the hypothesis based not
upon the usual probable and natural
causes and effects of nature, but upon a
series of conditions and surrounding
facts which together violate respectable
medical opinions and good common
sense, and compel us to believe it to be a
fabrication from beginning to end. We
therefore adjudge the defendant guilty
of unprofessional, immoral, and dis
honorable conduct, and the action of the
medical board in revoking his license to
practice medicine was proper. This
court also orders that the license be re-
yOked.
