The case of Mrs. Annie Ryon of
Spring Hill, who asks for judgment
against Mrs. Jacob Spieth Of this place,
for an amount due her from the firm
of Spieth q Krug, Is up before the SUI
preme court at Helena this week. Mrs.
Ryon alleges that the property of
Spieth q Krug was absorbed by Jacob
Spieth after the death of Mr.. Krug and
Mr.. Spieth being now dead she sues for
judgment. The case is an old one, hav-
ing been brought by L. p. Caldwell be-
fore his disbarment here and this court
sustained demurrer to the complaint.
Hartman Bros. g. Stuart are counsel
for Mrs. Ryon and Luce & Luce repre-
sent Mrs. Spieth in the case.
E. C.. Morse, who sold the ranch To-
Gated near Gallop, in this valley, some
burg the first of the week where he and
others are at work on a mine. 1t is the
Columbia, assaying well in gold, and
Mr.. Morse believes is going to prove a
better investment than did his ranch
property.
Peter Scollick. the murderer of Philip
Beadle of Timberline, suffered quite a
shock of nervous prostration the first
of the week at the county Jail He was
brought here on Monday morning and
seemed cheerful, more so than could be
expected at first, but became gloomy
and apparently much troubled in mind
on Monday night. Then followed
quite a sick spell from which he has
now recovered, his nervousness being
gone and no difference from the day he
came here is noticeable excepting that
he is now very quiet and his manners
more reserved, which is due in part to
his having been in consultation with
his attorneys, Messrs. Cockerill &
Pierce during the past few days.
Sheriff Caldwell arrived home from
Anaconda this morning with William
Webster. the young man wanted for as
Sault with intent to kill, he having
been apprehended by officers at Ana
conda.
DR.. r. NJ. Whitefoot received notice
on Thursday morning of his appoint
ment as surgeon general upon the gov
ernor's staff. This honor had not been
sought by the doctor. the appointment
having been made voluntarily, he
knowing nothing of it until the notice
of his appointment was received Thurs
day. This appointment is especially
appropriate owing to DIR. Whitefoot's
long association with the military posts
of Montana. He came to Fort Ellis in
the fall of 1868 and served as surgeon
at the post until 1875 Then aside from
two trips to Europe the doctor was
continually on duty in the army until
1882. being located for a time at Camp
Baker (now Fort Logan), and for some
months as surgeon at Fort Missoula.
There is no monetary value TO this Of
flee but the comforting of this honor
upon DR.. whitefoot by the governor. is
especially pleasing to the citizens of
Bozeman.
There have been two petitions start
ed in the past few days, one of which
is being circulated among the students
at the Agricultural college and the
other among the business men of the
city, asking the state board of educa-
ton to appoint a committee TO investi-
gate the dismissing of the three MEM
bers of the college faculty. The petit
tions read as follows: Montana State
Board of Education: conference.-the
undersigned desire to express their dis
pleasure with the method used by the
executive board Of the Agricultural
college in dispensing with the services
these gentlemen Is generally acknowl-
edged to be satisfactory. They have
not been given an opportunity TO defend
themselves, and believing that an in
justice has been done, we hereby petit
ton the State Board OF Education 10
appoint a committee to investigate the
matter in the presence Of the gentle
men involved"
The executive board OF the AgTicul-
tural college held a long meeting on
Wednesday evening followed by anoth-
er long session on Thursday evening.
but what further action was taken at
these meetings has not been made pub
lie Both OF the petitions referred 10
were started by students al the college
