vaiid-Alleged That the Sale was
Not Advertised-other
Suits Filed.

Suit was brought in the district court
yesterday by Lee w. Foster and O.. NJ.
Stolpe VS.. Louis V. Bender and John
ORourke. The plaintiffs claim to own
a two-thirds interest in lot 20. block =.
OF Lggat 4 Fosters addition TO Butte;
that the said plaintiffs claim title In fee
to the said portion Of said premises and
that the defendant. Louis V. Bender,
claims an estate or interest therein ad-
verse TO the plaintiffs and their CO.
owners.
Plaintiffs further allege that the said
pretended claim Of aid defendant. Louis
V. Bender, is founded upon a pretended
tax deed EXECUTE and delivered to the
said defendant by the treasurer of silver
Bow county under a pretended sale Of
the said property for a pretended tax,
attempted to be assessed against the
same for the year 1894, which said pre-
tended sale OF the aid property for
the said pretended tax was made to
Fergus Y. Kelly and assigned by Kelly
90 Bender. and that on Jan. 70, 1898, a
pretended tax deed was issued TO Ben
der and is now in his possession and
outstanding against the property.
Plaintiffs allege hat said tax was in
valid for the reason that no tax was
ever legally or properly levied against
said property; said tax was never
equalized and there was never any legal
or proper board of equalization to pass
upon said tax, said board not being
constituted as provided by law In that
the board was composed of three mem
bers Of the city council and the board
OF commissioners, instead OF four mem
bers Of the city council and the board
of commissioners. II is further claimed
that the property was never advertised
for sale as provided by aw. The
plaintiffs ask that Bender be required
10 set forth the nature OF his claim and
that any and all adverse claims OF said
defendant may be determined by a de-
cree of this court and that by said de-
cree II be declared n adtudged that
the said pretended tax deed of said
defendant is invalid and that IL be can
oeIed.

Negroes in North Texas Are In a State of
Panic.

tuhNts
TeXarkana, Ark, Sept. 9.-Texarkana
Is In a state of alarm over the large
number of idle negroes who throng the
town and the citizens are organizing
vigilance committees for protection Of
property. The unusual influx recently
is due to the operations OF white caps
In Titus, Cas-. Hopkins and other
ties in the cotton district, North Texas.
whence thousands of negroes have fed
on account Of notices being posted and
i'm some cases violence being used to
run them out.
A trustworthy colored man from Titus
county says that while a number Of his
race were at work In the field a mob of
white caps concealed behind a fence
opened fire on them. The negroes fed.
leaving three or four of their number
behind wounded and perhaps killed.
They had been warned 10 leave the
county and paid no attention to the
warning. other similar incidents are re-
ported by incoming negroes In some
localities In Titus county, which were
formerly densely populated by negroes,
not a colored person remains.

The Standard has received the follow
ing letter from Burt Marsh:
ITO the Editor of the Anaconda
Standard: In the issue for Sept. Z OF
your most excellent paper. you gave me
credit for himtlamming a Mr.. Linney Of

$50 with Louis Zorn, a ~saloonkeeper at
2S South Main street. and kept the bal
ance OF $l35. While il is true l have as
yet never bee accused of accepting
much the worst Of Il from anybody, in
this case | am DESTROYS Of saying ] was
an entire stranger to the Linney trans
action. Had nothing to do with 1t what
socver, and now kindly request you TO
state"
Mr.. Marsh's statement Is corroborated
by the statement OF Louis Zorn. the sa-
loonkeeper at whose place the Linney
affair occurred. Mr.. Zorn says that
LInney came into his place late on sat
urday In company with Brady. Mr..
Zorn cashed a small check for him. ON

him for $500. The ssloonkeeper said he
could not spare more than 500, and
advised Llnney not TO take more than
$50. and retu for the rest in the morn-
ing. Kinney, however, insisted on hav-
pg $3.50. and Zorn a y he gave him
that amount. He says that Marsh had
nothing 10 do with the cashing Of the
check or with the transaction in any
way.
Brady says that the note found in his
