AWAITING y DECISION.
The supreme Court Asked to Unite Som,

The supreme Court Asked to Unite Some
TangI'd Knots
BUTTE, Feb. lO.-A decision is expected
from the state supreme court tomorrow
in the damage suit of McAndrews VS.. the
Montana Union railroad, which was
argued in Helena on Thursday, George
Haldorn representing the railroad COM
pany. The case is one which involvos
several hair-splitting points of law which
will now be passed on for the first time
by the highest court in the state and a de-
cision is awaited with great deal of in
terest.
Some time in 1889 McAndrews was
pumping a broken hand car along the
Montana Union near Garrison when il
suddenly jumped clear off a bridge and
he sustained injuries for which he recov-
cred 5000 damages in the district court.
An appeal was afterwards taken TO the
supreme court on the ground that Nc
Andrews knew the hand car to be defec-
tive at the time of the accident. Several
knotty points of law we're brought out IN
the arguments.
For instance, ii is well understood that
person assumes certain amount o.
danger IN entering the employ of a rail-
road company, but il is the compauy's
duty to provide reasonably safe machInery
and appliances. When an emplove con-
tinues to work under conditions that are
known 10 be dangerous, and an accident
occurs he is deemed guilty of contribut ory
negligence. Yet, where an empIoyer
agrees to repair broken tools or MACHINERY
made IN an unsafe condition at a certain
time and the employe continues to work.
and an accident occurs before the time
stated expires, the employer is liable for
damages. Where an employe recklessv
continues TO work while menaced by an
ever-present danger. of which he is well
aware, the law provides that he cannot
recover damages, and il is claimed by the
defense that these conditions existed in
McAndrews accident. The case is very
badly mixed up with intricate and con-
hicting law points and decisions, and the
members Of Montana's highest tribunal !
Will probably have some difficulty in fig |
uring it all out.
decision is also expecte from the SUI |
preme court in a day or two on the legal |
ity OF the receivership of the Butte Dis |
trict Messenger company. The whole /
question hangs on the right of the court to /
appoint receiver on the application OF /
minority stockholders who believed that
they were being frozen out by the major
lily, and where the business was being
by board of trustees.

Justice Davis Finds the Defendant
Guilty as Charged.
When the case of John Heintz, accused
was read in the Police Court yesterday
morning. ex-Judge Buckley. who ap-
peared for defendant, made a statement
to the court to the effect that the prosecu-
ton of the case be dismissed, as arrange
ments had been made TO settle for the
full amount owed by the defendant. The
case, he said, was one that was allowed
by law to be settled outside the court
City Attorney Brown entered Yigor-
Gus protest to any such proceeding. "The
Police Court is not collecting agency
by any MEANS" he said, land from this
time henceforth that fact may as we'll be
emphatically understood.
II have no personal enmity in this
case" he continued, but there has been
ness going on here of late, and it must
come TO a decided stop. II this man is
guilty, he must suffer the consequences.
If such cases are allowed to be compro-
missed it will be an added inducement for
merchants to collect bills without risking
the costs Of a civil suit, and will also en-
courage people to contract similar ac-
counts, knowing that they will be able to
compromise should prosecution be COM
menced.
''As I stated before, I am not actuated
by any personal feeling, as do not know
the man. l am sorry for his relatives,
but that is no reason why justice should
not run its course.
The motion was denied, and testimony
in the case was taken. The defendant
was found guilty.

Prosecuting His Claim

He Encounters Many Impediments in
Prosecuting His Claim.
Charles T. Lehman died October II.
1893. During the latter portion of his
lifetime he was the guardian of Jacob
Henry Lehman, q minor. After the death
OF the former his widow, Elizabeth Leh-
man, was appointed Administrative of
his estate and proceeded to settle up his
affairs. The minor, Jacob Henry Leh-
man, claimed that his late guardian was
indebted to him i'll a large sum for
moneys received as guardian, and
through his present guardian, Emily
Augusta Watson, commenced an action
against Elizabeth Lehman, the admistra-
trlx aforementioned, to recover the
same.
The defendant, by her attorney, Isaac
Joseph, filed a demurrer to the COM
plant on the ground that it was shown
IN the complaint that no claim for the
sum demanded had ever been presented
TO the administrative. The matter was
argued some time since before Judge
johnson, and yesterday he decided that
1t was necessary to present claim for
this money, the same as for an ordinary
debt against the estate, and sustained the
demurrer.
The plaintiff took ten days to amond
her complaint, but as the time for pre-
sentlng claims in this matter has ex-
pred and no claim has been presented. ii is
claimed that the minor will not be able to
so state his case as to recover.

1t Was Not Constructed Under the
Charters Conditions.
Judge Catlin yesterday rendered his de-
cision in the case of Mayor Steinman
against City Auditor Young. in which
judgment was given in favor of the
plaintiff. The case was one involving the
outlay of Sl56 GA by the city for the con-
struction of a culvert under the Third
street approach to the Y-street levee,
which work the City Trustees had or
dered without consulting the Mayor. The
latter brought an action to prevent the
Auditor from drawing warrants for the
money.
Judge Catlin holds that. under the pro-
visions of the charter, the Mayors posi-
ton is correct. He says: sit is distin-
gushing feature of the charter that all
work done for the city of an estimated
value of Sl00 must be done under written
contract with the lowest bidder, after re-
ceiving sealed proposals; and also to
make such contract valid it should be ap-
proved by the Mayor, or after disap-
proval by him, it should be sanctioned
by the vote Of not less than six members
of the Board of Trustees.
at is claimed that this expenditure is
made up OF several Independent con-
tracts, each of which is less than 500.
The same condition might exist in the
case of public work costing much
larger sum. 1t is this very possible con-
dition that the statute was devised to
prevent. 1t was intended to compel all
public works TO be done by written con-
tract, let to the lowest bidder, except
where the entire cost Of the work is less
than S100.
ut is plain that this work was done
without the sanction of law, and there
fore the prayer of the injunction is
granted -

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED.

The Nezy YORK Tribune says: 1.-THE habit of
taking headache powders is increasing to an
alarming extent among great number Of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu-
facturers TO be positive and speedy cure for anv
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having tendency
to deaden pain. The habit Of taking them IS
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
of. Women usually begin taking them to re-
heve a raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache tfev
may be subjected TO, and finally like the NOR
phine opium fend, get into the habit OF taking
them regularly, imagining that they are in pain
if they happen to miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are composed
entirely of the purest, concentrated,
vegetable extracts. One Pellet is
dose; sugar-coated, easily swallowed:
onds used, aIattays in fzVor. They posi-
lively clfye sick headache and remove

Chinese territory. The Powers will p-o-
pose probably the opening of all Chinese

SEVERAL bills of length and great de-
tail are before the Legislature affecting
the National Guard. To attempt to an
alyze them here is out of the question. 1t
will suffice to say that no legislation
should be had that will impair the eff
cheney Of the National Guard of Califor-
mia. It ought to be encouraged, aided
and rendered more efficient. 1t is the
right arm of peace and law; it is the
school for the citizen soldier; it is badge
of free institutions that need not a vast
standing army to maintain them; it is the
force behind the law emanating directly
from the only sovereign we recognize in
this free land-the people. The main
tenance of well-disciplined militia is
essential to the preservation of our liber-
ties, and to assure the stability OF an in
dissoluble union of sovereign States.
