Stable Gossip

Sadducee won his sixth consecutive
race Wednesday, running the Futurity
course in I'LL, beating Gulden, Yellow
Tail, etc. j. f. Madden owner of
Gulden, played his colt heavily, prob
ably losing back the ST. 500 won on him
when he beat The Corinthian the other
day.
If Sadducee is not first-class, he GER
tainly has the faculty of winning, no
matter what the company may be and
no matter how he may be weighted.
He has started only six times, and
holds the record thus far for never hav
ing been beaten, which is something
that cannot be said for any of the 9th
er 2-year-olds that have appeared thus
far. Among those he has disposed of
i'll his races are Peaceful, Shoreham,
F'relinghuysen. Alex, Montanic, Inish-
free, Flaunt, Prestidigitator and Mike
Strauss, He has taken up his weight
every time he has been asked to do so,
and has kept ON winning, which is just
what Doublet and His Royal Highness
and the other cracks have failed to do.
Friday he took up penalty of three
pounds and conceded weight to every
thing else in the race. In spite of this
he was a warm favorite. The Corin-
THAN. one of the outsiders. was in front
for just a little way. Then Sadducee
took command and never relinquished
it, winning just as he pleased by good
length. The Corinthian tired badly in
the last furlong, and Mischievous,
coming gamely under a drive, got the
place by a length. La Foudre, who was
strongly tipped, ran very green and
ought to do better next time.
Eddie Huges regrets that his colt
was not eligible to take part in the

His last two races were won by a
nose. coming from behind when it
looked as though he was entirely out

Jack Mcdonald has a good tale to
tell with regard to the earlier career
of the Brooklyn Derby winner, Ahom.
Mcdonald was commissioned by Tod
G.. E. Smith-to buy for him the half
brother to Ben Brush, i. E., the colt by
Sir Dixon-Roseville. He was sold at
the sale of the Clay & Woodford yearl-
ings, and was bought at the Ameri-
can Horse Exchange by Mcdonald for
81 $50. The idea was to buy him, to-
gether with some others, for Sloan 10
take over to England with him, ana
he went into W. Smiths string until
the necessary arrangements were COM
pleted. Meantime Sloan decided not to
take any horses to the other side, and

An OVATION AND A MEDAL
Soldiers in Exchange for S23.
AN OUTLINE OF THE PLAN
Citizens of the Capital Want TO Have
the Boys Mustered Out There.
Asks the Assistance of Butte
and Other Cities.
AN OUTLINE OF THE PLAN

Helena wants the Montana regiment
to be mustered out at Helena and
wants Butte to assist her in bringing
about Helena's much-desired object.
The regiment voted to be mustered out
at San Francisco so that the boys
could receive the travelling expenses al
lowed by the government. amounting
to $50 for privates and $S4 for commits
stoned officers The railroads have
made a $50 rate for soldiers from San
Francisco to any Montana point, which
would leave a balance of $23 for pri-
Yates and $54 for officers after paying
their own fares home, or total Of
somewhere around $4,000 for the entire
regiment if mustered out at San Fran
cisco, which, of course. it would lose if
mustered out in Montana.
The people of Helena want the boys
to waive that bonus and come straight
to that city and give the citizens there
an opportunity to show what they can
do toward entertaining the brave sol
der boys. Twenty-three dollars per
private is not very much money in The

Judge Ed S. Walker, chairman of the

the purpose of interesting the people of
this city in the project. He called on
Mayor Mccarthy and outlined the plan

COMES TO A SUDDEN END
Contestants in Quinn Will Case
Have No Standing in Court.
JUDGE CLANCY'S RULING
Court Holds That the Contestants Cam
not Introduce Any Evidence Will
Admitted to Probate-"Barney"
Quinn Made Executor

The Quinn will contest came to a
sudden end yesterday when Judge
Clancy made a ruling on the objec-
tons to the Introduction of any testi-
mony on behalf of the contestants,
He decided that the objections were
well taken, and the decision puts the,
contestants out of court. The will
was ordered admitted to probate,
Barney Quinn was appointed exec
utor, with bonds fixed at $4,000, and
the jury, which had been called to try
the contest was discharged. An APP
peal to the supreme court is contem-
plated, though it has not yet been
fully decided that it will be taken.
Under the terms of the will Bar
ney' becomes the sole heir of Charles
Quinn, and the other brother and Sis
tiers will get SIS each.
The contention of the contestants
was that in 1884 Barney" and Char
ley Quinn, who We're business part
nefs and pretty old bachelors at that
time, made a verbal agreement never
to marry and to execute mutual wills
each naming the other as sole de-
visee. In 1898, while they were living
in Butte, Barney" violated his part
of the agreement by getting married
and transferring all his property to his
wife. There is a statute in force
which says a marriage and issue acts
as revocation of will made before
marriage, and the contestants held
that "Barney's" marriage revoked not
only his own WILL but that of his broth
er also, because both We're made in
accordance with their mutual agree
ment never to get married.
Evidence was offered to prove that
such a verbal agreement had been en-
tered into between the brothers prior
to the execution of the wills, but OBJ
lection was made to the offered evil
dence on the ground that the plain
terms of will could not be attacked
or changed by parole testimony, and
it was argued that if there were condi-
tions such as claimed by the confess
tants they should appear as pro-
vision in the wills, otherwise they
would have to stand upon the terms
expressed in them. Numerous author
tiles were cited on both sides of the
question, but the weight seemed to
be on the side of the proponent of the
will, and Judge Clancy SO held.
The contestants We're prepared, if
they had been permitted to do so, to
prove that Michael Quinn, another
brother, was present when Barney
and Charley made their verbal
agreement never to get married, and
then went to Virginia City to have
their wills drawn up in accordance
with that agreement. They also had
several witnesses who were ready to
testify that in after years they heard
the brothers talk about their agree
ments not to marry and about the wills
they had made in each others favor.

their advantage to be mustered out in

AS a further inducements said Mr.
Walker it IS tho intention of the Hell
ena committee 10 pay the railroad fares
of the soldiers from that city to their
homes in the different parts Of the
state.

money!" he said. but we are prepared
to do it,

own good the boys should not 10 paid

every dollar of it in that city and t1alf
of them, or IS out of TO- as he put
it. would be compelled 10 send 70 friends
in Montana for money enough to bring
them home.
The proposition that they be mus
tered out in Helena was submitted TO
Colonel Kessler by cable, but Mr.
Walker received a reply from the col
onel that the boys had already voted
to be mustered out at San Francisco.
Mr. Walker expects to visit other
cities in the state to talk up the plan
of inducing the soldiers to change their
minds and to give them great ovation
and medals in Helena in exchange for
their $23 .....
Parties in Butte. who are familiar
with the plan of mastering out, stated
last evening that instead of having only
balance of S23 after paying their fare
from San Francisco, the boys would
have from $40 to $50 each and that they
could get a much cheaper rate than 500
also that the total amount of travel
pay they would receive would be much
greater than stated above. The pay
will be graded according to the pay
they received in service in addition to
ration allowances. They will also get
Two months extra pay.

ITS NAME CHANGED.
To Be Known Hereafter the South
Butte Presbyterian Church.

Butte Presbyterian Church.
At a business meeting of the congre-
cation last Monday. evening it was de-
Cided to call the church the South Butte
Presbyterian church instead of the
Third Presbyterian church. On Tues
day night public reception or house
warming was enjoyed in the new par
sonage, when the house was thrown
open to the general public. A most
pleasant and social meeting was held
and every one enjoyed themselves. Re
freshments were served in the church
when a pleasant programme was en-
joyed.
This church is only three years old
and has never had a settled pastor
since it was built until Rev. F. Tonge
was invited to come and to look over
the field last January. Since then the
membership has more than doubled
and the congregations are steadily IN
creasing. A parsonage has been built,
which was mainly through the kindness
of Rev Or. Groeneveld of the First
Presbyterian church. who has made it
possible to hasten the building and the
occupation of the same, 1t is one of
the most comfortable parsonages in the
synod of Montana. II is so arranged
that the study can be isolated from the
rest of the house and is free from noise
or disturbance. II has six good rooms
and bath room, with all modern CON
veniences and is lighted throughout by
electricity. A veranda runs from the
study to the door of the church anG
makes it a convenient house to use fol
class room and social purposes. Great
| credit is due to the Ladies' Aid society
and the Christian Endeavor, who have
built this parsonage and paid off all in
| debtedness.
