IN THE DISTRICT COURT
BUSINESS TRANSACTED
DURING THE WEEK..
The McLeary- Crowley Case Results in a
Verdict for the: he:Plaintiff-Captain O'Sulli-
{ van gets Poetic-Other District Court
Matters.

The case of P. J. McCleary VS.. J. J..
Crowley, was heard Monday. 1t was
an action involving title to Red Bluff
mining property, which had been bat
tied for in the justice court at Pony
and appealed to the district court.
Robert Smith, w. A. Clark and Julian
knight represented the plaintiff and
County Attorney Holloway of Bozeman
appeared for the defendant.
McCleary claimed that he had a
verbal agreement with Jno. G. Feaster
owner of the Pay Rock claim, to the
effect that he (McCleary) was to have a
half interest in the Pay Rock for clean
ing out and re-timbering the shaft, and
an option on the other half interest for
$500 for one year. He claimed that he
lived up to his agreement, and took a
shipment of ore to Butte. On his re-
turn he found parties in possession of
the property under a lease from Feast
er. He sued for possession and $500
damages.
J. j. Crowley, the defendant, claimed
that he had purchased the property
from Feaster, paying him $500 in cash
therefor. Feaster was to have been a
witness for him, but when the case
came up for trial, Feaster was like the
Irishman's flea-of minus quantity.
One of the experts examined was
Capt. P. J. O'Sullivan of the Easton.
The versatile captain wore deborah
air and suit of bright purple cordu-
roy-the latest fabric affected by ex-
perts. In response to question from
Mr.. Holloway, as to whether or not he
was acquainted with the plaintiff Nc
Cleary, he said he regretted to state
that he was. Then he went on to tell
what he knew about the case. During
the cross-examination by Mr.. Smith,
the captain testified that he was an all
round, practical mining man from the
ground floor to the tenth story. Then
followed little repartee between the
attorney and witness.
"Isn't it fact, Mr.. O'Sullivan, that
you are little on the song and dance
,order?" asked Mr.. Smith.
"Well, possibly I am," replied the
witness.
"Write few poems, occasionally?"
''Well, perhaps I do"
''Sing song and dance jig, occas-
ionally?"
"Well, perhaps do; and you know
Mr.. Smith, that
- little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the best of men" "
replied the captain with dramatic
effect and a graceful wave of his hand.
"That's the way you class yourself
among the best of men," ouerried Mr..
Smith.
''My integrity was never qestioned,"
retorted the'doughty captain, with pur-
pie dignity cleaning from every fur
row of his corduroy clothes.
The jury found for the plaintiff for
one half interest in the mine and $3.50 !,
damages.

TRICK BICYCLE RIDING.
M. T. Emise's Exhibition of What can be
Done on q Wheel.


Done on a Wheel.
M. I. Emise, representing the Cleve
land bicycle, and one of the best trick
bicycle riders in the country, gave ar
exhibition for the purpose of adver
tising his wheel on the street Tuesday
evening. Mr.. Emise did some very
clever riding, such as the ''follow" rid
ing in front of the handle bars, crawl.
ing through the bicycle frame with.
out putting his feet on the ground. be-
sides several difficult balancing feats.
But his most popular trick was the
performance of what is known as the
"bucking MISUNDERSTANDING with the
front wheel elevated to an angle of
about As degrees.
Mr.. Emise is one of the young men
who rode from Salt Lake City to Chi
cago during the Worlds fair. making
the trip of 1000 miles in % days, an
average of Is miles a day. The trip
through Wyoming was made almost
wholly on the railroad track, between
the rails.
Bicycling is comparatively a novelty
in this section, and the exhibition
given by Mr.. Emise was something not
often seen in Virginia. R. G.. Eeowll
& Co., of Butte. are Montana agents
for the Cleveland wheel.

No newspaper writer has to contend

taken into consideration the average
excellence of his work is little less

His errors Of omission may easily be
pardoned Whenever the type calls

lightly be overlooked, since the mean

proOfreader's errors Of commission be-
long TO a different category. Whenever
he attempts to Straighen out the tan
gled meaning of something he doesn t
understand. the result often is some
thing to make the judicious greve.

into large and well formed potato.

New Motions i'm Grammar.

Our English friends are a good deal
exercised on account of new Eng
lish grammar which has appeared I'M
der the auspices of the professor of
English at Vanderbilt University, in
Nashville Tenn. The writer takes the
view that custom is the great authori-
ty in grammar. Horace, long ago, took
much the same position; but the ques-
ton arises: ''What usage, whose us
age?" This new authority in gram
mar commends such sentences as 1T
was him. 'Who did you see?"

English sounds little too much like
''cracker'' English to warrant its
adoption. Philadelphia Press.

An Aged Goldfish.

The goldfish is not as tender an ami
NAL as is imagined, for in handling
and moving them from one place to
another they are dipped UP in nets and
carried about in baskets much like
corn or potatoes. Sometimes they are
out of the water thirty minutes, and
seldom is it that they are injured How
long they will live depends altogether
upon their treatment. In the govern
ment aquarium at Washington is a
goldfish that is known to be fifty years
of age, and it is not perceptibly larger
than when first placed there. There is
said to be in the royal aquarium at
Rome, Italy, fish that is more than a
hundred years of age, but it has grown
slightly in the last twenty-five years.
Its color is the same except a slight
change with the seascns.-Indianap

PrisonL Physiognomy.

There are fifteen college graduates in
prison stripes on BlackwelFs Island.
This fact was learned by a clergyman
of this city, who recently conducted a
Sunday morning service at the peniten-
tiary, and it was elected by his remark
ing to one of the keepers that there
were a great many intelligent faces in
the group of prisoners confronting
him. The clergyman made mental
notes of some of the faces, and after
the service he pointed them cut to the
keeper and asked if they were not col
Icge graduates. Out of the five men
Indicated by him. only one was col
lege graduate, and, TO the clergyman's
dismay, the keeper designated as col
lege men three of the most repulsive
and vicious looking prisoners in the
group. One of the most inteliigent
faces in the throng was described by
the matter-of- fact keeper as belonging
to "a tough 'un, who's been On the isl

An Example Of a Life Saved.
Days Of Pain and Nights Of Agony Give
Way to Perfect Health.
How The Indian Accomplished This
Wonderful Restoration.

The Indian is again to be praised for
happiness and freeness from pain where
misery formerly existed. If sufferers from
that most dreaded of maladies, rheumatism.
in its different forms, could but understand
the cause of their pain and know the best
way to get rid of it, rheumatism would
become a thing of the past In the first place
this malady is due to a superabnudance of
uric acid in the blood, the kidneys and liver
do not act properly and throw off this
poison which settles in the different joints of
the body and is the cause Of the excruciating
pains that attend rheumatism. This acid
when it finally reaches the heart, as it
eventually does, results in death almost
simultaneously, and fraught with the most
dire agony.
The remedy. Tone up the kidneys, the
liver, the stomach, and above all purify the
blood. Nothing in the world will do this so
quickly and so effectualy as Kickapoo Indian
Sagwa. 1t is a remedy that has cured
thousands, not only of rheumatism but from
all diseases arising from arrangements OF
the life-creating organs. It will cure you.
Do not wait until this awful suffering has
broken you down physically and mentally,
or perhaps has reached q point where it
is about ready to attack the heart. Sufferers
should remember that this medicine. while it
is efficient, is absolutely harmless, containing
no poisonous ingredients whatever being
made from roots, barks, herbs and gums
