HIS LATEST TRIUMPH.

1t is a good while ago. but there
was a time when Daniel Bandmann
was esteemed to be one of the best ira
gedians in the world. That is a very
broad claim to set up on Herr Band
mann's behalf, but genial John Ma
guire-who knows If anybody knows
can produce the proofs that make the
claim good. To-day. Herr Bandmann
Is a rancher in Missoula county. He
that his bank account is big enough to
bother him.
Everybody hereabouts remembers
that Herr Bandmann was sued, two
years ago, by Louise Beaudet, woman
of more or less account In the theatrical
world who had made the tour of the
globe with Bandmann and wanted
more thousands of dollars than his init
mate friends suspect him to be worth
in settlement of her share of the profits.
This morning the Standard prints the
decision rendered in this case by Judge
Knowles. 1t is clear that the court had
a struggle in reaching conclusions;
Judge Knowles, in fact, almost gave 1t
up-he says that he met many difficult
ties in trying to reach a decision, and
that 1.-The court does not feel that 1t can
place full confidence in the statements
OF either party"
The public had reached that conclu-
sion long ago. But, since Bandmann
wins the suit. the public will also con-
clude that Judge Knowles must have
formed a horribly bad opinion respect
ing the truth and veracity of the frisky
actress when under oath.
