IN THE DISTRICT COURT
A Large Amount of Business
Was Disposed Of.
TAX CASES WERE DECIDED
The County Treasurer Was Perpetually
Enjoined From Attempting to Col
lect Taxes on the Land In
volyed in the Suit.

Judge Lindsay held session of court
yesterday and disposed of large
amount of business. He decided the
tax case of Max Lelande. Samuel
Ayotte and Robert Day against the
county treasurer in favor of the plain
tiffs. The case was argued and sub
mitted to the court on the oath of No
vember. The decision is to the effect
that the property involved. a number of
lots on the North Star. South Star and
Janey T.. lode claims. are not taxable
as city lots for the reason that the sur
face ground is used for mining pur-
poses only, and was never used for
other purposes at any time since the
purchase thereof from the United States
and do not exceed l. acres in area. The
court ordered that the county treasurer
be perpetually enjoined from attempt
ing to collect the taxes levied on the
property as city lots and that the treas
urer be restrained from Offering the
property for sale. 1t was further de-
creed that the assessment was Illegal
and void and that the property should
be assessed at the rate of So an acre
and taxed accordingly. The costs in
the case. amounting TO $17.10, were as
sessed up to the county treasurer.
The petition for partial distribution
of the Davis estate came up for hear
ing and the matter was taken under
consideration. Administrator Leyson
testified as TO the present condition of
the estate and the amount of money he
has on hand.
The objections to the report of the adj
mnistratrix of the estate of II. A. Me
denhofen, deceased. were also heard.
The principal objection made was to an
item Of $3.50 charged by the administra-
trix. She testified that the money was
sum advanced by her father, James
A. Talbot, for expenses during the
time Mr.. Neidenhofen was kept under
care and treatment in Salt Lake Mr..
Talbot testified to the same effect and
the court took the matter under advise,
ment.
Nicholas Hughes yesterday brought
suit against Oscar ID. Holmes and 9TH
ers for 81 and an attorneys fee of $50
and to foreclose a lien on the property

DOING SPLENDID WORK
Ladies of the Associated Chart
ties Relieving Suffering.
MUCH GOOD BEING DONE
Many Positions Have Been Secured for
the Worthy Poor-They Have Been
Given Chance to Become
Self-Supporting.

The ladies of the Associated Charities
are doing splendid work these days in
relieving suffering among the poor peo-
pile of the city. Not day goes by but
a number of families are provided with
food or clothing or both, and a great
many positions have been secured for
worthy poor people to enable them to
support themselves. Three such places
were found yesterday for persons whose
poverty had forced them to call on the
association for assistance and the la
dies are in position to provide anyone
desiring good help. with reliable per-
sons. as the ladies look up the record
and investigate the circumstances of
every person they become interested in.
Mrs. j. NJ. White. the president of the
association. said yesterday in speaking
OF this particular feature of the work:
1t would surprise most people to know
how much poverty there is in the city,
how many really worthy people are un-
able to provide themselves with the
necessaries of life. We look into all
these cases that come to our attention
and we now have on our books the
names of any number of good, reliable,
worthy men and women who are will
ing to do any kind of work to support
themselves. l would like to say that
any person desiring wood cut side
walks cleaned, or have any kind of an
odd jub 10 be done, If they will call on
us We will furnish person we can rec
ommend.,
In speaking of the purposes of the as
ISOLATION with regard to Christmas,
Mrs. White said; I'VE shall not be
able to give a dinner. as we did on
Thanksgiving. Mrs. Judge Speer made
a suggestion at that time which worked
admirably, but we don't feel like at
tempting the same thing this time, as
we have to ask the people for SO many
things in connection with our regular
work. We have accordingly decided to
make no general demonstration for
Christmas, but will ask all persons who
feel as though they would like to pro-
vide a poor family with a Christmas
dinner to come to us and we will pro-
vide them with the name of a family
we know to be worthy. We have al
ready managed for dinners for quite a
number of families in this way and
hope everyone who can will take a fam
lily We will be careful TO see that no
one is imposed on"
The ladies are preparing to take a
benefit during the holiday week and
hope to fill their treasury sufficiently to
enable them to carry out several OBJ
jects they have in mind, but have not
the money to carry through. Manager
Dick p. Sutton of the Union Family
thearer, has offered to give the associ-
alton the use of his theater and put in

BUTTE'S HIGH SCHOOL.
IL Is N Building of Which the People May
Well he Proud-Eyerything Is Com
Portable and Convenient.

Portable and Convenient.
There has been so much criticism of
the new high school building and its
outrageous cost that little has been said
In description of the building as it real
ly is. II is completed at last and will
be occupied right after the holidays.
The High School Leader gives this de-
Scription of the new school house:
THE building is 90x110 feet in the
clear and has two beautiful entrances,
one on Park street and one on Idaho.
The basement is very large In the
northeast corner of the building are
the board of education's apartments,
including the clerks office, in which is
the vault. The vault will hold all val
liable papers and school records,
In the western portion of the build
Ing is the. gymnasium, which will un
doubtedly afford much pleasure to the
high school boys. 1t is a cheerful room,
ready mentioned there are three large
class rooms in the basement The
heating apparatus will also be placed
there.
Now our attention is turned toward
the first floor There are two stairways
leading to this floor. one at each of the
entrances. The first floor contains
eight large rooms, including the labor
atory. These rooms vary in size from
22x24 to 2Sx34 feet.
'once more the DrOau steps invite
our attention to the second floor-or the
high school proper. Here opens before
us the largest assembly hall west of
the Mississippi. Its size is T0xS6 feet in
the clear. and within it's walls 600 stu
dents can easily be accommodated. The
vaulted roof has no central supports,
and we heartily say. as someone else
has said, We hope ii won't leak.
Three hundred and fifty seats Will
be placed in this hall. The room occu-
pies the western end of the building.
Adjoining this, facing Park street, is
the principals office, formerly known
as Room 2. East of this. in the north
east corner. is the library to which
every year books will be added. These
books will be obtained from the library
fund There are also two large class
rooms on this floor.
"On each floor are store-rdoms. cloak
rooms, water fountains, etc. The fin
ishing of the different rooms is very
pretty. the woodwork being oak. The
floors are of maple wood Another eX-
cellent feature Is the window curtains
which are received from Vermont, be-
Ing of a late improved pattern.
Everything from the basement up to
the attic is arranged for the comfort
as we'll as the convenience of both
teachers and students.
while the building is not as beauti-
full on the exterior as il might be, ii is
safe to say that the interior could not
be improved. and this will he acknowl-
edged by all students who are waiting
TO enter.
And Butte may well be proud of its
new high school, whose walls we hope
will stand tin time shall be no more"
