THAT KID.
There's Question as to Who Was the
First Born.

There's Question as to Who Was the
First Born.
MissouIa, May 14.-The question Of
the right to the honor of being the
first child born In Montana continues
to excite local discussion and the argu-
ment wakes complex indeed. II will
be remembered that. the Standard a
few days ago called attention to the
priority of Frank q. Higgins claim
over that of the candidate from the
east side. Then Judge Woody cor
rected the Standard by showing that
JEFF Pelkey was born in this valley
year before Mr.. Higgins. The fol-
lowing letter. received at this office
to-day. puts new phase upon the
question. The letter is as follows:
ITO the Editor of the Standard: 1
notice In a recent issue of your paper
a discussion as to who is the Oldest ma
tive white Montanan. am loath to
correct your usually accurate paper.
and am still more unwilling to take Is
sue with so eminent authority on early
Montana history as Judge Woody, but
/ wish to call your attention to the
fact that neither Mr.. Higgins nor Mr..
Pelkey was born in Montana. Both
were born in the Missoula valley. ii is
true, but at the time of Mr.. Pelkey's
birth this valley formed a part of the
territory of Washington and, a year
later, when Mr.. Higgins was born, IL
was within the limits of the territory
of Idaho. You will see from this that
no person born prior to 1864 can claim
to be a native born Montanan, as there
was no Montana previous to that year.

Missouia, May 11.-The action OF the
board of trade last night in deciding
to have the competition for premiums
at the county fair open to the whole
state meets with general approval to-
day and will undoubtedly result I'm
making the fair the most successful
exhibition ever held in Montana The
resources OF Missoula county are. so
varied and so extensive and her prod
ucts ore of such unquestioned merit
that there ought to be no hesitation on
the part of the local farmers as to
coming into competition with outside
producers. The question OF superiority
OF grain and vegetables has never been
settled by direct comparison in this
state, and IL the farmers of the Yell
lowstone. Ga1latin. Jefferson and Deer
Lodge valleys can be induced to come
to the Missoula fair. there win be "A
friendly rivalry that will settle this
question In the best manner.
Judge Woody's remarks last even
ing were pertinent and wise. He said:
ITO close the fair against outsiders
would be suicidal The interests Of
Ravalli county and Missoula county
are identical. What benefits one bene-
fits the other. and / am sure that we
cannot afford to tell them that we
don't want their products at or fair.
We do want them. There are no diff
ferences between us. and tie rivalry
will be a friendly one. ny all means
let them come in
The premium list will receive some
important additions in the next few
days. and will be. when completed. Of
such nature as to attract the best ex
hibits that the state can offer. The fair
will be the grandest exposition of the
magnificent resources of this state that
was ever made. and Missoula county
will not suffer by any comparison. The
fair will show the farmers exactly
where they stand and will enable them
to correct and remedy whatsoever de
fects are discovered.

Fire at Hamilton.

Hamilton, May 14.--The new fire de-
partment was initiated yesterday when
an alarm called 1t to a lively blaze,
which had started in a barn belonging
70 Joseph Crane, near the soutuf
boundary of the townsite. When the
firemen reached the scene the barn was
burning at great rate and there
was no possibility of saving 1t. The
burning building was surrounded by
houses, all only short distance away
and the firemen. under directions of
Chief Bishop and A. A. Hammond. de-
voted their attention to saving these.
In this they were successful. and much
credit is due them for the excellent
manner In which they handled the fire.
The blaze was started by boys smok-
ing cigarettes. 1t was an empty barn
and the loss will amount to 5000.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, May 13.-The supreme court
handed down three opinions to-day.
Charles M. johnson, administrator of
the estate of William O'Connor, re-
spondent. VS.. The Boston and Montana
Company, appellant, from Silver Bow.
In November, 1888, O'Connor, who was
a carpenter. was killed by an explosion
of the boiler in the old Colusa concen-
traitor at Meaderville. His admins
traitor brought suit against the COM
pany on the ground of negligence, and
was given $4,000 damages The court
overruled a motion for a new trial, and
on this the defendant appealed.
The supreme court elaborately re-
views the testimony. 1t finds that the
boiler was old and defective, and 1t ex-
ploded the first day after 1t had been
repaired. after lying idle outside the
building nearly a year. The supreme
court holds that 1t was negligence on
the company's part TO use the defective
boiler. and that its carelessness was re-
sponsible for the death of O'Connor.

william Mueller ct al. respondents,
from Meagher county, This action was
over the title to mining property
claimed by both parties. The plaintiffs
alleged the ownership of the Haphazard
claim. which the defendants alleged
involved 6.02 acres of their ground,
court the jury found for the defend
ants. The Safety people moved for a
new trial, which was denied. The APP
peal was taken on this order denying
new trial. The jury found that no
lead with at least a defined wall was
found on the ground of the plaintiffs.
The Haphazard people complained
there was such a lead and wall. and
that work had been done on the lead,
and that there was no evidence to sus-
tain the findings of the jury. The SUI
preme court holds the evidence didn't
warrant the finding and remands the
case for a new trial. Opinion by Chief
Justice Pemberton.

Special Correspondence OF the Standard.
Bozeman, May 1s.-The following no
tice in the Livingston Post of May s
caused quite bit OF talk In Bozeman
upon Its appearance:
Henry B. Penland and Florence
Cook. both OF Bozeman, were married
Tuesday afternoon at the parsonage of
the Methodist church by Rev. John
Hosking: The happy couple took the
Wednesday morning train for their
home in Golden Valley"
Henry b. Penland had been living In
this valley for number of years with
woman who was supposed to be his
wife. He separated from her only a
few months ago, she having had a row
with him which ended in her shooting
h h WIFE, 1 Ola ef B. fesa the ef sh0o as 4
was reported. for her parents home in
Idaho. but Ii now turns out that she
was at Willow Creek in this valley all
the time
Since the report of Penland's mar
rage 1t has been found that the wom-
an living with him here was never
married to him. but she has appeared
in Bozeman and is going to prosecute
Penland for bigamy. She says she
will make this the most sensational
event in the history of Eastern Mon
tana. and as Penland and his wife
we're IndTT1eQ fdTk county, anu are
supposed to be living there at present,
Mrs. Ola b. Penland left for Living
ston to-day to secure his arrest and to
prosecute him from that point.
She says II does not matter, whether
she was married to Penland or not:
that she lived with him as his wife;
that he, introduced her as his wife,
and that this is a common law mar
riage, and what's more, "he has a wife
in Georgia that he has never got a d.
VERGE from. So it's adultery and big
amy. and he can't get out of 1t.
Mrs. Penland says that at the time
she shot Penland this girl he just mar
ried, Florence Cook, was at their house,
and that ii was Penlands attentions
to her which caused her to shoot him;
that she was temporarily insane, he
maddened her so, or she would not
have done IL.
Mrs. Penland is very high strung. has
a hot temper, and is bound to get Pen -
land under the arm of the law for this
desertion of her for another woman.
Quite stir was made among Boze-
man people this morning over the re-
port that Roy l.. Martin and Miss
Anvilla May Hill were quietly married
at the Southern Methodist parsonage
Saturday evening. The ceremony was
Squires. and after the wedding the
young couple went to their respective
homes as usual. no announcement be-
ing made until this morning. After
the news had become quite generally
known. IT was very startling news to
the parents of the young couple, who
had objected quite seriously to this
match, but II is believed that no I'M
pleasantness will result between the
young couple and their parents. Mr..
Martin is the son of Banker j. e. Mar
tin, and Miss Hill is the daughter Of En-
gineer e. G.. b. Hill. both being about
q years old, and the most popular
young people in Bozeman. The young
couple have made no plans as to their
future, but their many friends wish
them all joy in their new relation as
man and wife.

One OF the families drove into town

were enjoying themselves immensely,
but the horse seemed very uncomfort-

apparently in pain and shook his head

from the vehicle with her children.
When the horse stopped he continued
