That Dublin Guich Road Is Causing a
Heap of Trouble.
BUTTE, Feb. 4.-The county commissions
ers were in session to-day and extended
the time for the opening of the bids for
the construction of the bridge over the
Big Hole at Chalk Bluffs until the 18th.
The time for receiving the bids will, how
ever, close at noon on the 18th.
The commissioners held a consultation
with County Attorney Wines in relation
TO the difficulties in opening the Dublin
Gulch county road. In compliance with a
petition the commissioners some time ago
viewed the ground and declared the road
open. 1t was used for while and the
owners of some of the ground built fences
across IL because they had not been set
tied with. The commissioners to-day sent
notice to the parties to meet with them at
7:30 o'clock on Wednesday evening for
the purpose of arriving at some settlement
without the necessity of going into court
The typewriter copy of the tax rates
was received and warrant for $3.50 or
dered drawn in payment thereof.
An order was also made to admit an old
tailor named Levy to the poor house.
A complaint was received from Frank
Durand to the effect that he was taxed on
some mortgages both in Silver Bow and
Granite counties, and he sent n receipt TO
show that he had paid taxes on them in
Granite. As the receipts failed to show
what he claimed they did show the com.
plant was sent back to him.

A Reminder of the shonbar.

suit in which E. L. Mahoney is plain
tiff and the Butte Hardware company de-
fendant, was on trial before a Jury IN
Judge McHatton's court to-day. Mahoney
claimed that he, with a number of other
creditors of the defunct Shonbar Mining
company, assigned his claim for 81 ,691 3
to the Butte Hardware company which
brought suit on the assigned accounts
and secured a judgment for $3,81O.57. The
property of the Shonbar was sold under
execution and was purchased by the hard
ware company for 81 ,5l035 but refused TO
pay Moloney's share of the claims against
the mining company. He asked the court
TO decree that the hardware company was
simply trustee for the property and that
he be given judgment for a nine-fortieth
part of ii.
The defense claimed that Mahoney's
account was taken with lot of others
with the understanding that they should
get out of 1t what they could. Judgment
was secured and IL was promised that the
eastern stockholders would take up the
judgment and pay off all the claims, but
they did not, and the Butte Hardware
company was compelled to buy the prop
erty to avoid losing what they had in it.
They offered to let Mahoney in on the
purchase if he would pay pro rata of the
purchase price, but he refused. The case
was submitted to the jury about o'clock
and they were out only a few minutes
when they returned with verdict for
Mahoney for 81 .69l.31.

In the Ribs.

Bette, Feb. 4.-Charles Humm
pEnehed his wife, Margaret, in the ribs
ana committed various other acts of cru
city, and for these reasons she to-day
commenced an action for divorce in De-
partment l. of the district court. In her
complaint she relates that they were
married In Butte on the 10Th of last Octo-
Der, less than four months ago. 1t was
but five days after the marriage. and
while she was lying in bed, that he struck
her violently in the ribs five times, caus-
ing her great pain and suffering for
long time. About eight weeks after their
marriage lie dragged her from the kitchen
through the house and to the front door
against which he violently struck her
head several times, causing her great
pain and suffering from bruises and head
ache caused by such knocking" Last
Saturday he locked her out of the house
and when she forced an entrance he
grabbed her by the wrists, breaking the
skin, and dragging her to the door threat-
ened TO kick her into the street. On that
occasion, and almost daily. he called her
vile and most obscene names. ordering
her out of the house and threatening to
throw her out.
She says he spends most of his time in
towards daylight, and frequently showing
evidence of drinking. Mrs. Humm says
she has supported herself, and her hus-
band sometimes, by keeping lodging
house on West Quartz street, and that he
seldom works, and at no time has con-
tributed anything toward her support. He
can earn $3.50 day when he will work
and has 81 200 on deposit in the State
Savings bank, being portion of an es-
tate left TO him. Except for the small in
come derived from keeping a lodging
house she is in INDECENT circumstances,
wherefore she demands that the defend.
ant be compelled to pay her a reasonable
sum for her costs and expenses in secur-
ing divorce and for temporary alimony.
She also asks to be restored to her maiden
name of Margaret Kleckner.
On her petition an order was issued re-
straining the defendant from interfering
with the money in the bank until the
further order of the court.

OIL WELLS DRYING UP.
Fears That the supply VIII Soon To Ex.
hnusted in the East.

Fears Tint the supply VIII Soon Do Ex-
hnusted in the East.
The great decline in the oil products
of Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio in
a recent period, and the fear that the
wells in those states might become ex-
hausted before many years, have
stimulated actively in the search for
new fields Within the last year in
Kansas, Arkansas, southern California,
the Indian territory and in various
other regions oil wells have been dis
covered where the existence of the
valuable fluid was never suspected.
Much attention has recently been given
to the Indian territory, whose wealth
of minerals has long been known. On
the borders of the Indian reservations
in both Kansas and Arkansas rich
coal and oil fields have been found; but
these are regarded as merely outcrop-
pings of the principal fields in the In
dian territory. Experts who have ex-
plored these fields declare that in this
region abundant wells of oil and nat
ural gas are struck at a depth of two
hundred feet, and that the deepest
borings do not go lower than twelve
hundred feet In the Pennsylvania oil
regions the wells must be sunk to a
depth of eighteen hundred to twenty.
four hundred feet. 1t Is stated that
the oil of the Indian territory is better
for illuminating purposes than any
other that has yet been discovered.
The city of Los Angeles, CAL, appears
to stand upon an oil field, as borings
made in the heart of that city at half
the depth of Pennsylvania sources have
yielded rich results. Not long ago
well was sunk at the intersection OF
two streets to depth of eight hun
dred feet, when the oil flowed out at
the rate OF eight hundred barrels day.
In other parts of California companies
have been formed to develop the fields
of oil and natural gas. of which the
| indications are abundant. The fact
that in California much of the land
everything this wealth is prolific in ag-
riculturnl products has caused its
greater subtcrranenn value to be over
looked. But it will not be long until
the oil producers derrick shall arise
among It's vineyards and corn fields.
After making all allowances for ex-
aggeration there remains no doubt
that this great country contains rich
fields of oil and natural gas that still
lie undevcloped. Should the fields OF
Pennsylvania become wholly exhaust
ed there would be no want of petroleum
for both home consumption and export.

Hen Eutler's Wit.

pense of the presiding Judge. Once he
was retained as counsel for the plaintiff
in libel suit against certain Boston

sought to bring out that the paper was
not strictly first-class sheet. To prove
this he began reading advertisements

each Of these questions the opposing
counsel would object, and, of course,
be sustained by the court. Still, But

intention being to force the idea upon
the jury. Finally the judge turned to
the famous lawyer and said, sternly
