PERCY R. lOCKHART.
Died for a Country of Which He Was
Not Citizen.

Something further was learned yes
terday of the personality of Percy r.
LOckhart of G company, lst Montana
volunteers, who fell in Saturdays bat
tie before Manila. 1t was something
which rebounds very much to his credit
for it was learned he fell fighting for a
country of which he was not even a
citizen. j. T. Conway, Private Lock-
hart's most intimate friend, furnished
the information. He states that the
dead soldier was a native of Canada,
having been born at Lewiston, a small
town a few miles from Toronto. His
mother died when he was very young
and he and his elder brother and
younger sister We're reared by an uncle
and aunt. He lived in Toronto till six
years ago, when he came to the United
States and located at Duluth where he
followed his business of printer. and
though very young, was in charge of a
large job printing establishment. He
was enthusiastic in military matters
and was prominent in the Minnesota
militia. He was well up in military
understanding and in the debates on
military affairs held by the Minnesota
national guard of 1896 he distinguished
himself on the platform. His enthus-
iasm and excellence as a soldier may
therefore easily be understood, which
was ttStliltu " ny LlGutsIldll AdlhlllS
when informed of his death.
Private Lockhart came to Butte a
year and a half ago and divided his
time between working at his trade and
athletics, in the latter of which, not
withstanding his exceedingly delicate
appearance, he was an adept. Although
he had lived in the United States so
long. Private LOclhart had never taken
the trouble to take out his naturaliza- =
thion papers, which was doubtless due
to the fact he had only become of age
two years ago. He had become a
thorough American, however, and being
an alien did not deter him when men
to fight for Uncle Sam We're called for.
He was one of the first to offer his
services. BY singular coincidence it
was his fate TO fall as a member of
Company G, the same letter by which
the company was designated in which
he distinguished himself in the Mime
sofa guard.
The father, brother and sister of the
dead soldier survive him and still re-
side in Canada.

A VERDICT FOR TAGUE
In His Suit Against the John
Caplice Company.
COULDN'T MAKE IT STICK
The Defense Fell Down and Its Evi-
dence Was Ruled Out by the Court.
Tague Sued for s1o,e42
and Interest.

The trial of tic suit of Thomas Tague
against the John Caplce company, one
of w. A. Clark's companies. was con-
cluded in Judge 1indsay's court yester-
day and the jury gave the plaintiff a ver-
diet for SO Si2.32 and interest at 10 per
cent. from Jan. a, 1928, being the full
amount sued for. There were some rath-
er Interesting facts brought out during
the trial. Tague had advanced large sums
of money to the John CapliCe company,
which was used in a wood business at
Bernice. the money having been advanced
= at the request of John Caplice, and was
used for the company. The Sl0,S42.72 rep
resented a balance due at the time the
suit was brought.
The defense was that the money was not
loaned to the company, and that Tague
and John Caplice were partners in the
wood business, and besides. if the money
was loaned to the company it had been
repaid with notes accepted from one Hi
ram Nelson by the company for Tague.
The defense, however, failed to establish
any of their allegations by legal evidence
and the court instructed the jury that
there was no legal or sufficient evidence
1hat lague mad ever been associated with
Caplice in the wood business or that any
part of the loan had ever been paid by
the Nelson notes. and the jury was in
structed to disregard all evidence on that
subject.
The only remaining matter for the jury
to consider was whether the money sued
for had actually been loaned to the Ca
plice company. the defendant having ad
mitted that the loan had been made and
used for the wood business, but denying
that it had been loaned for the benefit of
the company. On this subject court rec
ords were introduced by the plaintiff to
show that in another suit the Caplice com
pary had set up a claim to the identical
wood involved in the Tague suit and the
secretary of the company, ]. *. Heslet,
had sworn to the claim
One of the witnesses at the trial was old
John Caplice himself. He testified that
when the John Caplice company was
ganized he was indebted to Clarks bank
and turned over everything to the bank.

valued at 100000. He said the money

II think 1t is Christian duty to over

Mr.. Caplice said Tague had no connec-

he knew nothing about the notes taken in
his name.

ney Roote went outside the evidence sew

ing to matters that were not in evidence.
You are mistaken, and you know you
are" said Judge Dixon. one of Tague's
attorneys. after he had permitted Roote
TO go on for while.
At another time Mr.. Cotter entered an
objection to Rotte's methods and heated
exchange of words between the attorneys
followed and was stopped by fhe court
who told Roote that he could not mako
