WILL MAKE A TEST CASE
Suit to Be Brought Against the
Montana Liquor Company.
O'CONNOR LICENSE BILL
Grocers Have Failed to Pay the License
for Which 1t Provides The Ques-
ton Will Go to the Su-
preme Court.

a civil suit. the object Of which is 10
test the validity of a portion of the IL
| quor license law which has been in
] force in the state for year, will toe day
| or on Monday be commenced in the
| name of the county treasurer against
the Montana Liquor company a whole
sale and retail firm doing business in
East Broadway in Butte The matter
of bringing the action was decided upon
by the treasurer and county attorney
yesterday, and complaint against the
liquor company was drawn up.
1t charges that the company is in
debt to the county for $3.50 for the semi
annual license which became due on
the I'd of last November, and in addi-
ton to that judgment is demanded for
SO damages as provided by law for
failure to pay license, and for 81 fee.
1t is understood that the suit Will be
brought practically at the request of
the liquor company for the purpose of
getting a legal construction on a very
important point in the license law.
Prior TO the adoption of the law the
retail license was $500 a year for reg
ular saloons, but grocers were allowed
to sell in any quantities not less than
one quart of merchandise and under
their general merchandise license.
They could evade the law entirely and
often did by selling in small bottles
and even by drinks. The saloon men
had good cause for complaint, and
when the Legislature met again they
agreed on the O'Connor license bill.
which as passed finally provided that
every dealer in liquor who sold in
quantities of not less than one quart
should pay an annual license of $500
and dealers selling in quantities of less
than one quart to pay a license of
$500.
The law was thought to be all right,
but it was soon found out that it was
not. and the grocers refused to pay the
license. and they have been going on in
their business in the old way They
claim that they have right to sell Ii
quor in quantities of over one quart
under their general merchandise IL
cense.
A suit involving that question has
been uD in Deer Lodge county and it
is stated that the state examiner in
structed the county treasurer not TO
collect licenses fro the grocers
until the supreme court passed on the
case. Most of the wholesale dealers in
Butte also run a retail department and
pay retailers license in addition to
the $500 wholesale license, but lately
they have been protesting against the
latter tax because the grocers We're
evading it, and finally the Montana
Liquor company refused to pay 1t is
contended that if the grocers are right
then the wholesale liquor men can sell
any quantity under their retail license
and do their wholesaIing under that. lie
is to settle this point that the suit is to
be prosecuted against the Montana Lii
quor company.

their products adds interest to some
recently compiled statements by the
treasury bureau of statistics regard
Ing the silk manufactures and impor-
tatfons and expectations of this coun-

hgures show that the manufacture of
silk In this country has increased
enormously. that the imports of man

greatly reduced, and the expectations
Of silk manufactures are now increas-

Northwestern Railway company was
making a forty mile an hour run for
the camp at Nine Hill, about FIVE miles
distant from this city, the locomotive,
in the cab of which half a dozen ladies
and as many men were riding jumped

heaClong down the embankment, and
several cars loaded with stave bolts
followed after, breaking TO pieces
over the tender of the engine and scat
tering bolts III all directions. No serl-
Gus injuries were suffered by any Of

to have been miraculous. and a num-
Der OF passengers were dug out from
