BOARDS OE APPRAISERS. d

The Gentlemen Who VIII Constitute the
Boards of Deer Lodge and Granite.
In accordance with the law passed at
the last session of the Montana legislature,
creating board of appraisers in each
county whose duty it shall be to fix the
valuations oil real estate in the county for
the purpose of assessment by the county
assessor, Judge Brantly has appointed as
such board for Deer Lodge county, w. H
Trippet of this city, E. S. Maxwell of
Anaconda, and Hiram S. Blanchard of
Clearwater.
The law also provides that if there te
more than one county in the district over
which the Judge presides, he shall ap-
point the appraisers for each county
in the district. Granite county being in
this judicial district, Judge Brantly has
designated Thos. S. Smith, Duncan Ding
wall and Thomas Trevcaile as the board
ofappraisers for that county.
The section of the law prescribing the
duties and qualifications of the board
and its members is something of puz-
zle. 1t says, "Said board of appraisers
shall meet on the third Monday in Feb
ruary Of each year. etc, but does not de
signate the place Of meeting. 1t requires
the members Of the board to be residents
and tax payers of the county for which
they are appointed, but does not require
that any bond be given or oath taken for
the faithful and honest performance of
their duties.
In the absence of any explicit instruc-
tions in the statute as to the place of
meeting OF the board, Judge Brantly has
designated in his letters OF appointment
that the boards of Deer Lodge and Gran
ite counties meet at the clerk and record
er's Office of their respective counties.
The gentlemen chosen by Judge
Brlntly to compose these boards are all
we'll known citizens of their respective
counties. and are selected for their
known in integrity and business qunlifca-
tions, and it is believed their appoint
ment will be satisfactory to a large
majority of the residents of Deer Lodge
and Granite counties.

Sheriff Ram say brings back from Hell
ena solid josh on Marshal Furay, who
went up to Kalispell to arrest La Rose, a
half-breed boy who killed VIM. King by
striking him over the head with neck
yoke, says the Billings Gazette. Furay
had one OF his fine greyhounds along as
company for the trip, and when he took
La Rose in custody he put the dog in
his cha:ge and the boy was well pleased
with the job ofleading the handsome dog
around at the numerous stopping places
Finally the change Of cars was made at
Garrison which would bring the party
into Helena in a few hours. Before the
train pulled out Furay was talking bust
ness to friend on the platform and they
We're so interested that neither noticed
the train, with the United States prisoner
and dog aboard, pull out. But it steamed
on and Fnray was left cursing his luck
He says he telegraphed n friend on the
train to keep an eye on the prisoner and
deliver him safely at Helena, but John
Ramsay says he was at the station in Hell
ena when the train came in and noticed a
green looking youngster lending Fnray's
greyhound, which he recognized, and i'm
piled this was the prisoner. He stepped
up to La Rose and asked him where
Fnray was. The boy said he had got left
at Garrison. "Well, why didn't you skip
when FuraY was left?'' asked John.
Because" said the boy. ssthere would
have been nobody to hold the dog"

The Jury in the Case of The STATE vs.. TT. i,
4tker~ Return a Verdict Of No. Guilty.
The case of the State against II, ],
Akers. familiarly known as "Jacli" Akers
charged with shooting at Thomas Nc
Cormlck on the 1st OF January, near
Helmvllc, came to trial in the district
court last Tuesday. The Charge was as
sault with intent to commit murder. Ii
appears that Mr. Mccormick had started
through the ranch of Akcrs' in a slcirh
in order to reach another piece of land.
Akers objected to him going through the
ranch, as, it seems, he had previously OBJ
jected. But Mccormick proposed to pro.
ceed at any rate. Akers went into his
cabin and got his gun. About the time
Mccormick was going through the bars IL
shot was fired. The parties were 200 to
400 yards apart. At this time McCor-
mick did not think that Akers had Shot
at him, but he Immediately returned and
went toa justice and swore out warrant
against Akers. While at the Office Of the
justice it was discovered that bali had
entered the sleigh and lodged in the robe
on the seat. Mccormick then concluded
that this ball had come from the gun of
Akers at the time of the firing alluded to.
Akers admitted the firing of his gun, but
claimed he fired it into the air and simply
for the purpose OF attracting the attention
OF Mccormick. The jury acquitted the
defendant .a.

of Library Trustees.

Two Offers Received by the Butte Board

MIR. and Mrs. S. Z. Larabie and Miss
Voolfolk, a sister of Mrs. Larabe, were
III town from Deer Lodge, and were pres
ent this evening at the meeting OF the
board of library trustees. They were
present to consult with the board in re-
gard to the proposed portrait of Charles
\. Larrabee, the founder of the library,
to be placed in the library 1t was the
idea OF the trustees that the proceeds of
the library ball should be used in this
manner. Miss Voolfolk offered to make
a painting of Mr.. Larrabee to be placed
in the library, not to be accepted by the
trustees unless satisfactory. She offered
to do the work for $3.50 S. L. Larabie
stated that he would give the trustees $50
for a frame for the picture. A photograph
was shown which is a remarkably good
one. 1t was the sentiment Of those pres
ent that there should be three Quarters
view in the painting.
An offer was also received from e. S.
Paxson, the Butte artist, offering to do the
work absolutely free of cost, the trustees
to provide a suitable frame, the painting
not to be accepted unless satisfactory.
The board will decide on the matter at
its next meeting.

Bl- Metallic Company Awards Several Con-
tracts-Work to Commence soon.
Philipsburg Mail, rs.
Word was received from St. Louis yes
terday by Col. W. Thomas Hart, general
manager for the company here to the ef-
feet that at a meeting of the board of di-
rcctors the matter Of letting the several
contracts by the company had been finally
determined upon. The Mail is in receipt
from the Bi-Metallic office Of the follow
ing list of contracts let:
The grading contract for the Bi- Metal
lie mill was awarded to George Metcalf
The first division of the drain tunnel
was awarded to David Balentne & Co.
This division is on the lower end, and
runs from a point in Douglas gulch, called
by the company Boca, 2.075 feet.
The contract for the stone work Of the
foundation to the addition was let to
Joseph Tiefenthaler. This contract calls
for l,O95 feet of foundation, which in
some places will be about thirteen feet in
height. Several men are at work getting
out stone at that gentleman's quarry
The bill of lumber required in the ad-
dition was let to the Blackfoot Milling
company.
The machinery for the lixiv,ation plant
will be furnished by Frazer & Chalmers,
Chicago.
The second division of the tunnel, run
ming from the Blaine shaft about 1000
feet along the Bi-Metallic lode to CON
meet with the first division was not let to
anyone. The company decided to do this
work themselves.
Along with the above intelligence
comes the welcome word to begin oper-
ations at once, and accordingly as soon
as matters are arranged work will be com.
menced on the tunnel This will prove
quite a blessing to the people of Granite
county at this time, as Il large number of
men will be employed, and from what
we can learn Colonel Hart has decided
that residents of this section will be given
preference over outsiders

GONE TO REST.

A Tribute to Thomas Strang and w. r.
Shaniey by a Former Resident.
}. G. kerley, who years ago was ell
gagged in the newspaper business in Deer
Lodge, pays the following tribute to
Thomas Strang and W. +. Shanley in the
last number of his paper, the Townsend
Messenger: Within week Deer Lodge
city and county has lost two OF its best
known citizens by death. The first to
make the journey was genial Thomas
Strang. lie was a pioneer of the county
in residence and business. He was enter
prising and atfable. Known to all. Re
spected by all. He will be greatly missed,
Tor 1T will not seem like the same town
to the old-timers who drop into that place
occasionally.
w. +. Shanley was another old-timpr
whose soul passed to the spirit world as
the orb Of day cast its first rays last Sun
day morning. He, too, was OF Il jovial
disposition and had the faculty Of max
ing friends and retaining them. Like
Tom Strany, he, too, will be missed byall.
Years hence, when half the present resi-
dents OF Deer Lodge are dead and forgot
ten by the great mass Of the people, the
names OF Tom Strang and Billy Stanley
will be household words in the valley of
the Deer Lodge, where they aided in
building one of Montana's most charming
cities.
