ONLY PLAIN DRUNK

Court Room.

SO HE SLEPT ON THE FLOOR

Missoula, Jan. 13.-"James McGrath
plain drunk" was the memorandum
that City Marshal Angevine handed to
Judge Ross this morning. James was
the only victim of Sunday dissipation
that was on the list, and he was a
sorry looking candidate for honors In
the police court. The recent cold wave
that held sway in the court room so
long, rendered house cleaning out of
the question and the abode of justice
did not present a very creditable ap-
pearance this morning, so the marshal
set James to cleaning up the accumu-
lated dust and litter of many days.
McGrath proved a good worker and
the court room at noon was so radical
ly changed in appearance that Judge
Ross thought he had entered the wrong
door when he walked in.
AS his eyes took in the cheerful and
comfortable appearance of the room,
his heart was glad and he felt that life
was. after all, worth living. AS he
stepped toward his desk, he came in
view of the stove which stands in a
secluded corner. He also saw some
thing else. on the floor in front of the
stove, with his coat rolled up for a pill
low, lay James McGrath, plain
drunk" sleeping soundly and evidently
more comfortable than he had been for
many a day.
JhuSc INpsS lcl MIN steep. fOT TWO
hours he slumbered on and then the
judge had to rouse him, that he might
pronounce sentence upon him before
court adjourned. McGrath is not a
young man and he had proved himself
such good worker and so handy about
the rooms that the judge thought that
he deserved a comfortable home during
the cold weather So he entered on his
docket, James McGrath, plain drunk,
80 days"
Bob Foster had been meditating for
some time upon the injustice of the
practice of dice shaking, which makes
IL customary for Jim Walsh to come
into his place and win his cigars while
he goes to Mr.. Walsh's market and
pays cash for meat and fish. He finally
came to the conclusion that If il is all
right to shake dice for cigars it is
proper to shake dice for beefsteak, so
he put his dice box into his pocket on
when he went to order his
diner. He won a steak, a tur-
key and two cans of oysters and now
thinks that his system is the correct
one. "a.

DAYTON POWER DEAD.
lie Was welI-Known Pioneer and
Good Nan Generally.

Missoula, Jan. 13.-At O'Clock this
evening Dayton Nj. Power of Martina
died at rthe Sisters hospital. He had
been failing in strength for six months,
and about 10 days ago was brought In
from his home and placed in the hos
pftal. Death was the result from-uid
age and exhaustion. Dayton NJ. Power
was remarkable man and for many
years had been prominent in mining
affairs of this section. He himself did
not know his age. but it is supposed
shat he was about IS years old. He was
born at ClonmeN, Ireland, and
was left an orphan while an
infant. and was raised by a sister.
All men and boys in Clonmell are fight
ers, and young Power. naturally of bold
disposition, soon showed the effects Of
the influences by which he was sur
rounded. In the early 30's he was ex-
lied from his native land as a rebel and
with many of his comrades, came to
America. The war with Mexico found
him in the American army as a scout
and courier and many instances are re-
corded of his reckless bravery. He re-
cedved several medals for his conspic-
uous service. AT AN early date he came
West and he was among the organizers
of the Cedar Greek mining district
Later he was recorder for the Nine
Mile district, which he also organized.
Power had many warm friends
among the old-timers, and the news of
his death will be received with sorrow.
He was tall and powerful and an ex-
pert shot, quick to resent an insult or
injury and devoutly religious. His de-
votion to the cause of church liberty
was remarkable. When the Cedar creek
placers were yielding fortunes he made
money with the rest and put away
hundreds of dollars to aid the church
cause. Like all his race. he was warm
hearted and hospltable and many a
man will recall instances of his cfarac-
ter. Arrangements for the funeral are
not yet completed. burt he will probably
be buried Wednesday. So far as known.
he had no relatives living. He had con-
siderable property and, 1t is said. he
had made a will

THE CONTESTS.
They AFFORD Much Interest to Thos, In
teres cd In Mining.


teres Cd In Mining.
Missoula, Jan. 13.-The contests fled
In the land Office Saturday against the
reports of the mineral land commits
sioners have aroused unusual interest
on the part of those who are Interested
In mining matters and as well among
those who are engaged in business
here. 1t is a recognized fact that has
often been stated that upon the pres
ervation of the mineral lands to the
people depends much of the future
prosperity of the state 1t was this
which led to the organizing of the min
eral land commission, for which Mon
tana men fought so long.
The contests which were filed Sat-
urday will probably determine whether
the mineral land commission is to be a
benefit to Montana or not. Upon the
result of these cases will depend the
construction which is to be placed upon
the regulations under which the COM
mission works and also the vital point,
the definition which is to be given to
the term, mineral lands" If the posi-
ton taken by the commissioners is sus-
tained by the land department officials,
the work of the board will be of de-
cided benefit to the state. As has al
ready been stated in these columns,
the commissioners placed a construc-
ton upon the term which is generally
approved and whenever they found a
division of land that contained evil
dences of the existence of mineral,
they classed IL as mineral land. If this
construction is held to be too broad
and If other conditions are imposed,
the work of the board will be greatly
hampered.
The land over which the present con-
tests are made lies along the Missoula
river between Superior and Fish creek
and is nearly all in the river bottom
Much of 1t admits of cultivation but
the contestants aver that all of the
land is placer or quartz ground and is
more valuable for its mineral than for
agricultural purposes. The indications
are that the cases will be very stub
bornly fought and their progress will
be watched with much interest
