real estate holdings here except
his factory in the hands Of @. B,
Klssell. a real estate agent, for
Immediate sale. The property
includes the Grand Opera house,
the Bookwalter Block. the La.
gonda Hotel and several lots.
Mr.. Bookwalter's action is due to
the city tearing down a stairway
he built in an alley six weeks
ago. BE declared that he would
not own properly here If he could
not have his own way, and at
once ordered the Grand Opera
house closed. Manager Foltz in.

B. and o. Improvements.

The work of Strengthening the
track and reducing the grade at
Tabbs Station on the second d.
vision of the B. and o. has been
completed. A heavy grade and
three bad curves have been elm
mated by this work. A mile east,
at Myers Hole, a similar i'm
provement has been in progress
for three months and it will be
completed and ready for trains
next Sunday. Several reverse
curves and a nasty and dangerous
dip are done away with at this
point. Near Myers Hole, at the
Tablers, the alignment of the
track is being materially chang
ed and as in the other two i'm
provements. bad grades and
sharp, annoying curves are being
removed. This part of the work
will be done in sixty days and
then a series of very dangerous
places will have been entirely
removed. This work in its en-
tirety means the hauling OF sew
eral additional cars in each
freight train. besides reducing
the danger of derailments to al
most nothing. The second d.
vision, running from Cumber-
land to Brunswick, will soon be
in first.class condition and more
cheaply operated than eyer.

OF Butte, and there are others.
Several democrats who believe that
the governor should abide by the Mis-

TO that party. are said to be training
themselves for a Judiciary career.
Among those mentioned are w. Z.
Ptgott of Great Falls. y. j. Campbell OF
Butte and one or two district judges
who. perhaps. might not like to have it
mentioned. The latter statement, how
ever may be rumor, as there seems to
be a difference of opinion as to the
length of time the appointee will serve.
Some say he will serve until the next
election. which will be next November.
while others hold that he will fill the
honored position until the next election
for that office, which will be five years
hence
This evening, before many of the Wis
lting attorneys and judges departed for
home, the lobby of the Hotel Helena
presented an animated appearance
something like the eve of a legislative
assembly, when button -holing and eau
cusing are the order. The subject that
was uppermost. regardless of the fact
that the late occupant of the position
had only been buried a few hours, was
the succession. Acting Governor
Spriggs, who, until Governor Smith en-
ters the state line on his return, has the
power to make the appointment, was
rather non-committal when asked point
blank by the Standard reporter il he
proposed to make the appointment be-
fore Governor Smith returned. He did
say, however. that he disliked the idea
of interfering in the matter unless the
eXigencies of the situation demanded it,
He seemed to think ii was a question
whether the court could continue with
two judges when it was a case of va
cancy rather than an absence.
1t is believed, however, that the court
could sit as at present constituted un-
Ill Governor Smith returns, which Will
be in about 10 days, without the inter-
ests of the litigants suffering. WELL
known attorney from another city, who
has number of cases pending, per-
haps as many as any lawyer in the
state, told the reporter that so far IS
he was concerned he would not be dis
satisfied if the court took a recess until
the governor returned. The court will.
of course, meet Monday to take Off
ciai cognizance of the death Of Justice
Buck by hearing the report of the com
mittees on resolutions, one from the
bar of the state and the other from the
bar of Helena. There will also probabl
be some eulogies, which will take up a
good part of the day. But whether the
court will meet Tuesday and hear argu-
ments remains to be seen. The lieuten-
ant governor said tonight that his
latest message from Governor Smith
to-day was from Washington and the
governor wired that he thought he
might be able to return in 10 days, but
it would crowd his plans to do so.

last hope Of w. II. T. Durrant. murderer
of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Will
Jams, by disposing in a summary man
Ter Of his two appeals.
In a written opinion from the pen Of
Chief Justice Beatty, which is con-
CURED in by all but one of his col

of Judge Bahrs in remanding the pris-
oner to San Quentin until the time set

tion resentencing Durrant to be hanged
on Nov. II and remandS the case to the
superioe court with instructions to pro-

As The remittitur was ordered issued
forthwith, and the court holds that exc
cutlon can only be staid now by the is
suance If certificate Of probable
cause, il only remains to resentener
the condemned murderer, which will
probably be done tomorrow.
