The cards with which we play whist

state that the dotted cards of China
were invented In 1120 to entertain the
wives Of the king of that date. Chess
was probably the f~orerunner OF cards.
Chess originally had -four kings and
four sets of players and cards have
four suits.
The ancient playing cards of Hindu
stan were round. while those of China
were long and narrow. They were
sometimes beautiful specimens OF art.

Case Of Sheriff Proctor.
NOT LIABLE FOR PENALTY
The Facts Of the Suit Reviewed in De-
tail and Legal Conclusions Drawn
A Marriage License and
Thirty Days Granted.

Z Great Falls, April SIN the district
court this afternoon a period OF 20 days
was granted to the defendant in the
case of Edward Davis VS.. Jesse L.
Henry in which to prepare IN hie a
motion and statement for a new trial.
A similar grant was given to h plain
tiff in Joseph Daily rs. the Montana
Central railway.
The clerk issued a marriage license
to ]. D. Rasor and Miss Christina Nc
Kay, both of Belt.
Judge Leslie handed down a written
opinion in the ase of j.. r. Fitzsim-
mons VS.. c. c. Proctor, sheriff. The
opinion reviewed the facts of the suit;
says that separate suits were insti-
tuted by the First National bank of
this city, by Lowrey & Shaw and by j.
r. Fitzsimmons against the Montana
Gold. Silver. Platinum & Tellurium
Mining company: that judgments were
secured in each case n executions is
sued on the judgments obtained by
Lowrey & Shaw and by Fitzsimmons;
that ii was under the latter that the
real estate attached by the sheriff was
by him sold and the money obtained.
Prior to the suit of Fitzsimmons the
sheriff began an action to determine
the ownership of the money he held and
he Joined as defendants the First Ma
tional, Lowrey & Shaw and Fitzsim-
mons. The ban put in a demurrer,
which the court sustained. The sheriff
thereupon dismissed the suit as to the
bank and made a tender of h money
to Fitzsimmons. But prior to the sus-
tanning of the demurrer Fftzsimmons
began suit against the sheriff.
In the second case. the sheriff set ur
as a defense that the date fixed for tn,
return of the execution had not arrived
and the statutory penalty for delin-
quent officers applies only in case OF
the malicious withholding of money
The court holds hat a strict construc-
ton of the statutory provision for g
penalty, without reference to any othel
portion of the codes, would entitlt
Fitzsimmons to a verdict as asked, but
another statute empowers an officer e

would have judicial and ministerial du
