MILK A SCARCE ARTICLE
Dairymen Cannot Supply the
jCity's Demands.
HARD ON THE CHILDREN
The Famine Il Accounted For by the Fact
That Families Have Given Up the
Habit OF Keeping Their
70 Own Jerseys.

There II q scarcity Of milk in Anacon-
da and there is little hope of immed-
late relief. All over the city, the small
Ter customers. by which term is meant
those who take only a pint or so a day,
nave been dropped by the milkmen. and
those whose former daily orders ran in
to quarts and gallons have been cut
down to a minimum.
The causes of the milk famine, like
the causes of any other famine, are
manifold. The primary cause of course
Is winter and cold weather. when
COWS give forth less milk hi in the
summer months. Another reason Is
that people In the city have found It
less expensive to buy milk from the
milkmen h a to keep cows themselves.
Still, another cause Is that good milch
cows involve a big investment and peo-
pie do not care to pay a big price for
their cow in the first place and then
bear the expense Of keeping her. Those
who have tried II say also hat the ex-
pense for bran and other milk produce
ing food Is enormous.
At any rate. whatever the cause.
there Is a milk scarcity. 1t amounts to
almost q famine, although one of the
milkmen said yesterday that he could
now supply rs gallons more a day han
he could two weeks This may be
an individual instance and not an indi-
cation that milk will become more plen-
tiful at once. The scarcity OF milk
works an extreme hardship upon fam
HES with small children and some in
stances are known where condensed
milk in cans is being substituted for the
natural article. IL is but a poor sub
stitute. however, and those who are
compelled to try IL. will be glad to get
bach to the cows milk basis again.
Despite the milk anime the price of
milk has remained the same. There
has been no increase in price, and so
far as is known the milkmen have no
intention of increasing their figures on
lacteal food.
One of the milkmen said yesterday
hat the scarcity of milk was due to
the act that good milch COWS for pri-
vate families were high in price and
costly to keep. While the price of cat
tie n feed had one up. the price of
milk had remained the same. and the
people found 1t less expensive and more
convenient to buy their milk than to
keep a COW. Bran. he said, had increas-
ed in price, and as there was no sub
stitute for this character of feed, the
dairymen had to bear ALI the loss.
In view of the milk famine, II may be
suggested that folks keep their peace
respecting the dairyman's pump, or
their dairy supply may be suddenly cut
off. The jokes about coloring material
and chalk n all that sort OF thing
had also better be suppressed. at least
for the present. When milk begins to
flow in abundance again, the funny
things abou the milkmen may be re-
vived. but just now IL would appear
to be a wise thing to give the pump
and chalk a rest.

TO RECOVER THEIR GOODS
Two Cases Against Michael MUIR
ply Tried Yesterday.
SUBMITTED TO THE COURT
Trial OF the Gases OF the Davidson Gro
osry Company and Cooney
Bros. Against Michael
J. Murphy.

The case Of Cooney Bros. and the
Davidson Grocery company against NJ.
]. Murphy and John Fitzpatrick. sher-
IN. came up for trial yesterday in the
district court.
The plaintiffs, who are In the gro
Gerry business in Butte, seek to recover
goods which are now in the hands of
Sheriff Fitzpatrick. The plaintiffs claim
that last spring they sold TO the defend
ant, who then conducted a grocery
store in Anaconda, personal properties
consisting of groceries, to the amount
of $235. They say that they sold the
goods on the faith of certain represen-
tations made by the defendant in ref
erence to his financial standing. The
plaintiffs claim that those representa-
tions were false. The defendant C
mad a statement, so IL is claimed, that
he was not indebted to any of his rela-
tives. but later the goods in the store
were attached by his brother. Timothy
j. Murphy. who claimed a large sum
due on promissory notes.
Cooney Bros. seek to have the sale
rescinded and the goods returned.
Sheriff Fitzpatrick has the goods In
his possession and that is the reason
why he is made a defendant. The goods
in his possession amount to $3.50.
The Davidson Grocery company. on
its part, seeks to Gov goods to the
value of s306. 0s. out of 81. 200 worth of
goods which had been sold to Murphy.
When the defendant closed his store
goods to the value OF $S06.0s were at
tached and turned over to the sheriff.
The Davidson company now wants to
recover these goods.
Five witnesses were heard yesterday.
Messrs. Cooney. j. NJ. Davidson. ]. NJ.
Murphy and Unde Sheriff Donoghue.
The plaintiffs are represented by George
b. Winston and c. p. brennan n the
defendants by Sawyer & Walsh.

TRUST ESTATE is LIABLE.
Judge Bum Files His Decision In
the Case of Cecilia Paget VS..
Louise x. Baker.

Judge Bum filed an order yesterday
in the case of Cecilia Paget against
Louise K. Baker and the ST. Paul Trust
company as trustee, under the will of
Norman Kittson, which decides an in
teresting point of law.
In overriding the demurrer of the ST.
Paul Trust company to an action
brought by the plaintiff to recover
some $4,000 deficiency on a foreclosure
sale, the court decided that the plain
tiff has a legal right to come at the
trust estate of Louise K. Baker, to
satisfy a judgment for such deficiency.
BY the will of Norman w. Kittson
the sum Of 100000 was bequeathed to
the ST. Pdul- Trust company, in trust
for his daughters. in United States
government 4rper cent bonds. The
trust estate of each daughter was $780,
900, and ohe-foi7rth of the amount was
held in TRUST for his daughter, Louise
K. Baker,
The trust company contended in its
denurrer that the plaintiff could not
reach this ffust; fund.
The court disagreed with the trust
company. In overruling the demurrer,
Judge Bum says in his memorandum:
The question is: Can the plaintiff, under
the allegations Of the complaint reach in
equity and have applied to the payment Of
her judgments, the whole or any part of
the income received for and directed by the
Baker.aThere Is no doubt that the equitable
estate of the beneficiary of trust, of either
real or personal property is alienable by
such beneficiary and can therefore be
reached by her creditors unless some re-
straint on its alienation. either voluntary or
