Suit Against the School District to Re-
cover Money Due for worS Performed.
Special Correspondence of the STANDARD.
Boulder, March 2s.-Samuel South
worth commenced an action I'm the dis
trict court against school district No.
- OF Jefferson county, to recover the
sum OF $3.50 due to him and IL other
persons who assigned their claims 20
him Tor work done and performed on
the school house. District No. IS is the
Basin school district
IL seems from the story of the trlIs-
tees of the district that after the build
ing and furnishing fund 10 the credit
of the district became exhausted last
fall and the school house not being
completed the trustees and the plain
tiff, Southworth. and the others who
assigned their claims to him, entered
into a written agreement by the terms
of which the plaintiff agreed to COM
plete the school house and not to COM
mence any suit to recover their pay un-
til there was sufficient money TO the
credit of the district in the building
fund to pay them and the trustees
claim that there is no money in the
fund and that consequently the suit is
premature. The trustees of the dis
trict recently called an election asking
the electors of the district to authorize
them to transfer sufficient money from
the general fund to the building fund
to pay these claims, but the PROPOSE
ton was voted down by two majority.
The decision of the legal questions in
volved and the final termination of the
suit will be awaited with considerable
interest.
Another action was commenced in
the district court Thursday by the
Thompson Falls Land * Lumber
company against Denis Driscoll to
foreclose a lien on lot Is in block 5 in
the town of Basin, asking that an or
der of sale be granted and that the
said premises be sold and the proceeds
applied to the payment of plaintiffs

Livingston, March PA movement
Is on foot in this city to form an or
ganization which is to have for its OBJ
1ects the encouragement of home in
dlsstries, the establishment of manu-
featuring enterprises, including the
erection of a smelling plant and -four
ing mill at Livingston, and to induce
by every legitimate method the rapid
settlement and upbuilding of Park
county as a whole. The idea is to or
ganize a county board of trade. a body
whose membership shall be coSmopoli-
tan in its makeup, comprising the
farmer. the cattleman, the sheepgrow-
er. the miner. the merchant, the man
ufacturer. and any respectable citizen
in any OF the various walks of life who
desires to lend assistance in the effort
to secure the material advancement of
Park county. II the plan reaches frui-
ton, suitable quarters will be obtained
to meet in, and part OF the building
set aside for the exhibition of agricul-
tural products Of the county and for a
mineral display. There will be coop

residents in the country districts to do

other important point will be gained

Importance as to be absolutely beyond
any ordinary computation.
Z. j. Owenhouse was over from
Bozeman yesterday. In speaking of
the seeding soon TO begin in the Gala
tin valley, Mr.. Owenhouse said the
principal crop would be barley. and
that virtually the entire product would
go for export. The 30,O00000 pounds OF
barley raised in the valley last year
exclusive of the product Of the Man
haitian plantation. all found a ready
export market at a figure which made

trouble in marketing it being that tn,
total crop was so comparatively small
that considerable difficulty was expert
enced in contracting for the delivery
at any certain date of enough grain tc

however, the acreage sown will be sc
large that there will be no difficulty or
this score.
A reported discovery of rich gold and
silver deposits four miles from town
has been an oft-referred to topic for a
few days past. The tale in conserva-
tive language is as follows: James p
Meagher, Louis Nundel. Anton Scoda
and Alfred Mitchell on st. Patrick
day. were out at Bowers coal mine
and about half mile from the mine
ran onto some outcroppings of quartz.
They crushed a portion of the rock and
brought to town the paintings" or con-
centrates thus secured. The assay
made on this went away up and this
gave rise to extravagant reports of the
almost fabulous richness of the find.
That body of ore exists in that local
ity there is no question, but whether
1t is of a grade sufficient to pay for the
mining is yet to be determined by an
assay of the rock as II comes from the
vein. The formation is said to be lime
stone, impregnated quite heavily with
iron. Many claims have been staked
off and the excitement is at high
pitch among all who have made loca-
tons.
j. S. Foley. who resigned few weeks
ago his engineer run on the Yellow
stone division, has accepted a position
as engineer on the B., A. & p, and de-
parted for Anaconda the first of the
week. He has been in the employ of
the n. p. ever since Livingston had a
place on the map. and possesses the
reputation of being a ''scorcher" on the
rails whenever the exigencies of the
occasion demand that fast time shall
be made.
Messrs Kermode and Davis Of FL
ton were in town this week laying in
supplies for the spring season. They
report that their large band of sheep

forage upon the hills.
Fred w. Wright. the state treasurer.
came over from Helena this week and
had his name enrolled upon the Liv-
ingston registration list Whether or
not Mr.. Wright's visit had any political
significance there are no indications at
present upon the unruffied bosom OF the
political sea. but some of the local
wiseacres assert that the state treas
urer did not come all the way from
Helena simply to register for the city
election when a provision exists where
by he could swear in his vote.

lions TO develop the property. They

mer's job. but in addition development
work will go on at the higher altitude
and ore enough mined to supply the
rolling mill which is now in course of
construction. The company has plenty
of water to run this mill, but in anti
cipation of the necessity of more ex-
tensive facilities for hauling the pro-
duct of the st. julien group. they have
secured water rights from the main
Emigrant river and now control a site
about a mile below the present one,
where the water will be never failing
and all sufficient for a mill of 100
stamps.

j. w. Patton circulated a petition

Preston. 1t was generally signed by
the business and professional men of
the city and has been forwarded to
Governor Richards for action. IL the
governor has the authority to act in
such cases and concludes TO grant
Preston a pardon. a certain amount OF
red tape will have TO be gone through
with. and at the least calculation a
month will elapse before "Scotty" can
enjoy once more the free air.
The registration books were closed
tonight with 437 names enrolled. Last
year the registration exceeded 500. The
falling off is due almost wholly to the

FUSION FOR GEORGIA.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 23.-It is learned
here on what is believed to be unim-
peachable authority that fusion was
agreed on at Chicago yesterday
between Senator Jones and Populist
committeeman Washburn. AS q re-
suit Washburn left Chicago for Nash
vile and III. w. Reed left Atlanta
last night for the same place, where
they will meet Tom Watson. I'm
portant correspondence was in pro-
gress yesterday beween Democratic
National chairman Jones and National
committeeman for Georgia. Senator
Jones wired his representative here
in substance as follows: 1--WE must
accede totthe demands of the Popu-
lists for fusion in Georgia" The re-
ply in substance was: 'The Populists
of Georgia don't want any fusion.
They demand surrender" To this
Senator Jones responded: eff those
are facts use your own judgment"
1t appears from this that a general
plan of fusion satisfactory to the Pop
ulists has been agreed on between
Messrs. Washburn and Jones and that
Georgia alone stands in the way of
it's consummation.

That "cyclone" struck our town

treasury, Hon. John G. Carlisle, by
men of his native state and city,w
the leading topic of conversation to-
day. While accounts differ as to the
degree of brutality manifested by
those in the hall and ON the street
around the building, there is no dis
pute as to the bitterness of feeling
manifested. Secretary Carlisle was
purposely detained in the hall by his
friends in the hope that the outside
crowd would dispense, but as soon as
Carlisle discovered this he insisted on
going out immediately. Then police
escort was provided and by main
force passage to the street was OBJ
tanned. Vile epithets were then show
cred at the secretary, and one man,
John Pagan, threw a lighted cigar in
his face and stopped as If to pick up
a more formidable missile. He was
promptly arrested but was discharged
no one preferring charges. Secretary
Carlisle on reaching Mr.. Helms door,
thanked the chief of police for the
protection afforded. There is no doubt
the secretary feels deeply this indig-
nifty at his own home but his only re-
mark was" They are not hurting me:
