Getting Even.

There is more than one way OF getting
even in matters of law and August Lahii
is evidently going to prove that fact to
his own satisfaction, if not to the pleas
ure OF one John Peterson, who is propri-
etor Of the Michigan House on the corner
OF Sixth and Oak streets and who runs
saloon in connection with his hotel
Lahti had formerly been boarder at
Peterson's hotel and had left the place
for various reasons. He also left board
bill which ran up pretty high. Lahti
made some payments on the bill, but
soon became weary OF such good work
and didn't pay any more, leaving bill
which footed up to $51 70 still due.
Lahti's reason for not paying any more
on the bill was that he had left trum-
pet which he valued at $40 at the house
when he left and he thought this would
settle the bill. Peterson thought other
wise, however, and garnisheed Labti's
wages. The case came up yesterday af-
ternoon before Justice Fisher and jury
trial took place. Attorney W j. Melon
aid appeared for Peterson and o. j. Lar
son was attorney for Lahti. The Jury
brought in verdict allowing the propri-
etor of the hotel the full amount due.
But now is where Lahti gets in bis
work. lie appears before Justice Curtis

erson with violating the Sunday closing
law and Peterson was arrested last even

Peterson appeared before the justice and
asked for an adjournment, which was
granted.

Hon. Bill Evans Work
ing in the Interest
of Miners.
Ne Introduces N Good Bill
IN She Montana Legislature BY Want
fng All Cages 10 BE Cased-
other Local News.

The following taken from the Daily
Inter Mountain Of Butte isgiyen for what
it may be worth; anything likely to pro-
tect miners lives certainly deserves to be
given all the publicity possible in the
hope that it may catch the eyes OF those
mostly interested. What do our mining
men think OF the Hon. Bill Evans idea?
tine Hon Bill Evans, of Silver Bow,
may not know quite as much about the
inltiatiye and referendum and kindred
populistit fads as some OF the other shin
ing lights in the fifth Montana legisla-
sture, but what he doesn't know about
the mechanical construction of mining
apparatus and mining machinery il
scarcely worth knowing. A blacksmith
since his youth, the greater part of his
Aife has been spent in mining camps. and
the larger portion OF his time has been
employ ed arodnd mines. Personally ac-
-Quainted with the risks OF miners life.
&c is not strange that he has interested
himself in an attempt to protect
them from liability to accident by the in
production of bill providing that all
cages in mines over 800 feet in depth
shall be cased in.
Heretofore the casing in OF cages has
been considered impracticable by some
nining men. but Mr. Evans figures it out
that the changes can be accomplished
with little cost. He says that steel,
troG or wire casing can be attached to
eng cage at trifiing cost. The casing
fRight be swung on hinges or on rollers
and should be five feet high. The doors
might be made to swing inward so that
they could be fastened when ore was
being hoisted. Another section OF his
bill provides that the safety dogs be in
spected at stated and frequent intervals
= and kept in good order.
II know il TO be fact, said MIR. Evans
recently, that many mining companies
m Butte pay little or no attention to the
ssafeties' rhe blacksmith perhaps Is
told by the foreman to test them occa-
ssionally, but the examination is merely
perfunctory. Too often the blacksmith
N too busy to attend to the matter and
IL 10 only when some part OF the cage
shows signs of wearing out that il Ia re-
moved and new one substituted. The
test in every case shonld be a most thor
oRgh one. for where the cage il given
hard usage the springs OF the safeties are
Liable to become useless in a week
just think of the number OLIVES that
might have been saved in Butte alone
with the Cages rased. A man coming out
at hot or perhaps i'll ventilated Slopes,

hoisted to surface is apt to be taken with
a weak or fainting spell and il he does he
Aeo1erdIzes the lives of every man on the
cage. III he is caught between the cage
and che wall plates his doom ia sealed
and the jar to the cage is very liable to
make the others lOss their balance"

HIS LITTLE MISTAKE.

An exchange tells of a clerk who
was showing a lady some parasols. He
had a good command of language, and
knew how to commend his goods.
As he picked up a parasol from the
lot on the counter and opened it, he
struck an attitude of admiration, and
holding it up, said:
Nov, there, isn't it lovelyQ Look at
that silk. Particularly observe the
quality, the finish, the general effect.
Pass your hand over it" he said, as he
handed it to the lady; ''isn't it a
beauty
Yes" said the lady; 'that's my old
one. I just laid it down there"

ECCENTRIC

Numberless anecdotes are related Of
the eccentricities and characteristic
acts Of Rev. Lorenzo Dow, the famous
itinerant Methodist preacher. Mr.
Collins relates that when he was a
widower, he said to the congregation
one day at the close of his sermon:
"I am q candidate for matrimony 8;
and if there is any woman in this
audience who is willing to marry me,
I would thank her to rise"
A woman rose very q the pulpit,
and another in a distant part of the
house. MIR. Dow paused a moment,
then said: There are two; I think
think this one near me g first, at
any rate, I will have her for my
wife"
This woman was in good standing
and possessed of considerable property.
Very soon after this eccentric wooing
she became Mrs. Dow.-Youth's Com
