Pacific RailroaN company will have at
least one dan. &c suit on its hands.
growing out of the recent train collis-
Ion at Mission, unless the company
chooses to settle the claim without re-
sorting to the arbitrament of the
courts. The general policy of railroad
companies, however. does not conform
to that method of settling damage
claims. Therefore ii is probable that
before w. c. Downing can collect any
thing from the Northern Pacific for the
death of his brother, Brakeman T.. f.
Downing, he will have to appeal TO the
courts and eventually establish his
case Before the highest tribunal in the
land.
Mr.. Downing arrived yesterday from
Tacoma, where he laid the facts con-
corning his brothers death gefore Gen.
eral Superintendent Dickinson and re-
quested that the company pay suitable
damages. In answer Mr.. Downing was
told that the company would make an
Investigation and a definite answer
was promised him in two or three
weeks.
Mr.. Downing has retained attorneys
both at Tacoma and in this city. He
has applied TO the court here for the
administration of his brothers estate
This evening he returned to Ardmore

Willie Mallahan, who was sent to
the reform school at Miles City two
years ago for incorrigibility, has been
released upon parole by Governor
Richards, conditioned as to time upon
the manner I'm which the boy conducts
himself in the future. The governor
warns him that he must carry himself
pretty straight hereafter or he will be
returned to the reformatory. He Is
also counseled TO eschew the use of to-
bacco in any form. which advice many
arf-0ider person would do well 10 heed.
1t was through the intersection of his
father, Alderman Mallahan. that the
boy secured his freedom. Mr.. Mallahan
went to Miles City Friday with fun
authority from the governor for the
boys release and Willie returned home
with his father the next day.
The first product of the Livingston
cheese factory was turned out last
week and IL i'm every respect q prime
article. The average weight of the
cheese as IL comes from the mold is 40
pounds; IL is of a rich yellow color,
characteristic of cream cheese and pos
sesses an agreeable piquancy of taste.
Messrs. Cook and Geswender made no
mistake when they decided to enter
upon the manufacture Of cheese in con-
nection with their creamery business.
Livingston needs and will support the
establishment of just such enterprises
as this; the success OF the creamery
fully bears out that assertion. There
are other lines of manufacture which
would be equally as well sustained
here IL the necessary capital can only
be enlisted in this establishment.
