Is well. 1t may seem trifing and ridicu-
lous to the civilian that men engaged in
such serious business as war should spend
so much time and pay SO much attention
to foolcry of this kind. The civilian is a
great critic. Let him spend long hours in
am with nothing to do, nothing to think
about except the things he wants to for
get, and tho civilian would soon find him
self welcoming any sort of diversion, no
matter how trivial.
These company and regimental mascots
are not an evidence of widespread super
stition. They are merely pets in which
the men take a common interest. The
army regulations do not provide for any
such tomfoolery, of course, but the army
officers arc wise enough not to frown on
the mascots. In fact, the keeping of all
sorts of animals which, should camp rules
be strictly enforced, would be banished
outside the lines is winked at and over
looked. The aascots help to keep the nien
contcnted, and thus the esprit de corps is
maintained.
For some strange reason the goat, which
is AN object only of ridicule and degraded
to the level of a public scavenger in places
where men live in houses and walk on
paved streets, is the choice of animals for
camps ard aboard ship.
The typical mascot has a history. In
time he becomes a part of the regimcntal
traditions, and if he isn't stuffed when he
dies he is always embalmcd in memory.
There is Pipe, the goat mascot of the
Tw~enty-socond New York, whose story
has yet to be made, but he has lad the
start of q good, interesting name, and he
was not adopted at random. He is a Sc
leeted goat, and he is entered on o career
which falls to the lot of very few goats.
There was a goat which went out with
the Sixty5ffth New York, q nanny. She
had bad manners, and the night before the
regiment left camp, while the sergeant
major was writing to his sweetheart, she
ate the first page of the letter as he was
covering the second. She went out in dis
grace for jealousy. She has nothing to
do with Pipe of the Twenty second, but
Pipe has no such He has the
advantage of being a billy, however,
which, whether it is to his credit or not,
helps him to understand how men should
behave in the army. When he grows up
and has a good goat appetite, he will cat
only cast off shoes and help to police the
streets and let guy ropes and letters alone.
The old billy that belonged to the Seventy
first New York always made it unneces-
sary for the company to turn out at police

WATER RIGHT TROUBLE
Fifer and Christensen Claim
Their Ditch Was Cut.
TO REFORM A CONTRACT
Wrong Description Claimed to Have
Been Inserted in an Agreement Be-
tween an Architect and Two
Men for Whom He Worked.

A suit in a water right controversy
was commenced yesterday in the dis
trict court by John L. Fifer and NJ. 5.
Fifer as executors of the will of John
Fifer. deceased, and A. Christianson
against Israel Gibbs. administrator of
the estate of Carlo Andreoli, deceased,
Virginia Andreoli. Elizabeth, Cavour
and Carlo Andreoli. The latter three
are minor children of Carlo Andreoli,
and Virginia Andreoli is his widow.
The complaint sets up that John Fifer
has been the owner of the southwest
quarter of section 81. township 6, north
of range 3, west. a tract of agricultural
land requiring irrigation to make II
productive. Christianson claims to be
the owner of the rthw quarter or
section 6. township 5, north of range 3,
west, which also requires irrigation.
The plaintiffs claim that during June,
1879, Christianson and his predecessors
in interest appropriated 900 inches of
the water of Lost creek; that in order
to carry the water to and upo the
lands, they. Fifer n Christensen,
dug a ditch.
During the month of June. 1898, the
defendants u~nlawfully, wrongfully and
without right cut the ditch and diverted
the water therefrom and threaten to
continue to so divert the water unless
prevented by an order of the court.
The complaint says that the
unjustly and wrongfully claim to own
an interest in the ditch. and judgment
is prayed that the efendants may be
required to set forth the nature Of their
claim: that it be declared the defend
ants have no interest in the ditch n
that they be forever enjoined and de-
barred from asserting any claim what
ever in or to the ditch or canal. or
the water therein adverse to the plain
tiffs.
w. II. Trippett and J. H. Duffy are
attorneys for the plaintiffs.
w. w. Hyslop, an architect, yester-
day commenced an action against
Frank p. Pagan to amend the phrase
ology of a certain agreement entered
into between the two. by which Hyslop
agreed to build for Pagan a house on
lot 4, in block 81, of the city of Ana
conda, for which Pagan was to pay
ss37.50 on the installment plan. The
complaint sets forth that the descrip-
ton of the premises given in the agree
ment is erroneous, and that it shoul
lot 4, in block ga, instead of block 81.
h plaintiff asks that the court make
an order that the contract be so re-
formed.
Hyslop also brings an action identi-
cal with the above against Thomas j..
Pagan, for whom he also constructed a
house oil the same lot. c.. T.. Oles is
attorney for the plaintiff.
Mary McNally yesterday commenced
an action against Ben Asker for $50. so,

The first part of the week was very

rigated are suffering for water in all
the northwestern part of the state.

shine and most field crops nave been
favorably affected by it.
The cutting of timothy has begun and
reports indicate a large crop in at
least most of the southern half of the
state and parts of the northern. The
southern part of the state has been
more favored with rains than has the
no~rth-central and northwestern dis
tricts, and all crops appear better. Corn
is growing well. Potatoes indicate 4
large crop and grain is very good.
