!. H. LEYSON'S PLAN
His Address Before the Trades and
Labor Assembly. #
TO TEACH SILVER DOCTRINE
He Suggests the Appointment of
Western Workmen to Visit the
East and Commune With
Their Fellow Men.

]. III. Leyson addressed the Silver
Bow Trades & Labor assembly at it's
meeting last night in support of a plan
which he has devised for the spread
ing of free silver doctrine in a more
effective way than by any means that
has yet been discovered. His plan is to
have the silver question laid fairly and
honestly before the workingmen of the
East by their fellow workingmen from
the West who are in a position to tell
the facts just as they exist, and to
present arguments that cannot be re-
futed. In brief Mr.. Leyson's sugges-
ton is that labor unions of the West
engage in missionary work in the cause
of silver and send delegates in the la
Dor unions of the East. He would have
each union send separate delegates
who would present free coinage argu-
ments to eastern workmen employed in
the same branch of labor as them
selves. These arguments would be pre-
sented directly to the workingmen of
the East in their lodge rooms and be-
hind doors that would be closed to ev-
cry one except members of the union
which was being addressed. ~
Such in substance was the plan out
lined by Mr.. Leyson in his address last
night. He compared the condition of
labor under a single gold standard with
what Ii was and would be again under
free coinage and presented arguments
that were unanswerable. He said that
the West is the great market and that
when a silver mine shuts down some
eastern mandatory closed its doors.
Mr.. Leyson's address was listened to
with the greatest attention and the
matter will come up for discussion at
the next meeting of the assembly.
State Senator j. III. Hughes of Shoshone
county, Idaho who is remembered by
the workingmen who were through the
Occur d'Alene troubles with the most
kindly feelings, was present at the
meeting and was warmly received.

TWO MEN kILLED.
Meager Details of the Explosion. Which
Occurred In Madison County.


NJ ]. Dugan received intelligence last
evening through the following telegram of
the death of two miners at a Madison
county property in which he In interested:
Sheridan. Mont, March Z, 1895.
IN. J. Dugan, Butte: Matt Mcguire
and Jacob Henck were killed last night
by a powder explosion. Come over at
once. John Klitzke."
The message was carried to Virginia
City by a courier and then telephoned to
a telegraph ONCE, so that II was not re-
ceived until last night. The mine at
which the men were killed is known as
the Madisonian, and is located south of
Leiterville and about IL miles from Sher-
idan. 1t is owned by Dugan. Klitzke and
Mcguire, and was being worked by
Klitzke, Mcguire and Henck, who occu-
pied a cabin close to the mine. Mr.. Du-
gan's knowledge concerning the accident
is confined to the information contained
I'm the above telegram, but as the men
only worked during the daytime II is his
belief that the doubly fatal explosion of
powder occurred i'm the cabin. II is posi-
BILE that the powder exploded while II was
being thawed out. as a great many acci-
dents are caused in that manner. Mr..
Dugan will start for the mine in the
morning. Mcguire was an old-time pros
pector in Butte and was well known here.
Hewas unmarried and leaves no relatives
i'm this part of the country so far as Is
known to his friends. He had worked at
the Madisonian mine for the last two
years. Henck had only been employed
there for a few days and was not known
by Mr.. Dugan.

taken us so thoroughly to your hearts
that we want to thank you from the
bottom of our hearts,"
Mr.. Frawley promised that his COM
pany would hereafter make an annual
visit to Butte and next time they would
remain a week. He assured the audi
ence that he and his company would
always cherish the most kindly feelings
for the people of Butte and said IL
would be his pleasure and aim TO give
the people of the West the best there
was TO be had and that the Frawley
company should be to the West what
the Lyceum and Palmer's are to the
East. Mr.. Frawley's speech was re-
ceived with applause and cheers. There
is no doubt that the company could
pack Maguire's opera house every night
for another week.

A Case That Bore tn. Esrmarks of Great
Importance settled.
A case that started out with an ap-
pearance of startling importance before
Judge Mediation yesterday was on a
motion to dismiss the appeal in a case
of Thomas Ford against j. II. Saville
on the ground that the police magis-
trate who had entered judgment in the
case did not have power under the
codes to try civil cases. William Lux
ton had been garnisheed in the case
and he made answer and judgment
was entered against him by Judge
Turner, whereupon he appealed. Mr..
Parr wanted to have the case dismissed
and was prepared with bundles of ar
guments on the proposition that the
police magistrate lacked jurisdiction to
try civil actions. He had certified
typewriter copy of the law, passed by
the last legislature. defining the magis-
trate's powers, and argued ably about
the unconstitutionality of the act as de-
clared by the supreme court and the
inapplicability of the law of 1898. In
replying to Mr.. PARIS argument, At
torney Lindsay suggested that mo-
ton to dismiss was not the proper rem
edy and said he thought writ of re-
view would have been the thing. Judge
Mediation heard the arguments and
took a look at the papers. This mo-
ton seems to have no application to
the case" said the court, land raises
no question as to the jurisdiction of the
police magistrate. The motion to dis
miss is overruled."

Baker and March Didn't Play Pool, as

The match game OF pool between
Frank March and Frank Baker, the

take place at the Butte hotel last even

the disappointment may be found in
the fact that on Friday night they

tcrested in keeping their ill.gotten gains
he would have found that before the filing
of the report the commissioners had a
standing offer of $3.50 for the improve
ments by the party to whom they were sold
and that they had estimated the value of
the lot and. improvements at $3.50.
and that that sum was levied, in and by
the report filed, and afterwards collected,
rendered and accepted by the owner of the
property.
"That they had to do all this-that is,
pay the owner, get deed. transfer the i'm
proyements and get the money-in order
to close up or complete the transaction,
was well known when they filed their re.
port. They made provision for the addi-
tional expense by assessing $73 extra.
"Under this statement OF fact, what be-
COMES of the extra and extraordinary SER
vice rendered after the flling of the report
which was not contemplated and provided
sumo not only the $73 but entitle the COM
missloners to 1925 besides?
'Can it be possible that this extra and
extraordinary service which the city attor-
ney says these commissioners and clerk
rendered consisted in waiting "a number of
months upon the Bridget Wilson estate liti-
gation,' and that these three able-bodied
men must be paid 81 per day each for go

case had progressed?

practices on the part of street commission
ers that has beon going OH for years, to be

recommendations OF city officials whose
duty it was. and is, to stand between the
rapacity of officials, whether of high or
ow degree?

should not be plundered in ma.ters of pub
lie concern. There is no use of any mealy-
mouthedness about the matter because
they are constituents OF somebody, and
they may want their votes for offices some
body expects to run for.
"Who will put in the plea that they did
not intend anything dishonest? Did they
no. know that they had no right to take
what did not belong to them and convert it
to their own use? In this case I assert
that they all had twice as much, at least,
allowed them in their report as honest SER
vice in the matter would warrant.
"The commissioners were allowed by the
city council 81 per day each, yet they put
in lump sum OF $75 each and 500 for
their clerk.
"Why did they not, and why was
it not required of them by the city
council to make full account Of
each days service and the item Of ex-
pense verified by affidavit? Then they
could file the same with their report as
vouchers. Why has this business been al
lowed to run from one council to another,
year after year, in such a loose, ehipshod,
unbusiness-like way, by these public
servtors?
