Hearing of the Motion to Dis
charge the Receiver
FOR THE BOSTON MONTANA
Continued Until April 1.-Two More
Judgments Against the City
For Damages.

This was the day set for the hearing
of the motion to discharge the receiver
appointed by Judge Clancy a few weeks
g to take charge of the property and
business of the Boston and Montana
Mining company, but the matter was
continued until April Z.
The title of the suit is Forester and
MacGinnis against the Boston and Mon
tana Mining Company. A week or ten
days ago the supreme court issued a writ
of mandate compelling Judge Clancy to
hear the motion on or before today, but
it had previously issued a writ prohibit
ing the receiver or the judge from in any
way interfering with the company's
property. A motion to dissolve the lat
ter was argued before the supreme body
last Saturday, but it's merits were not
determined-they are being held in
allegiance by the court.
When the motion to fire the receiver
| was called for hearing in the district
body this morning all the attorneys n
| several other interested persons were
present. They were loaded to the gum
wales with authorities to maintain the
positions they proposed to take, and
great was their disappointment when
the Judge, without further
than that of calling the title of the &C
ton, announced his intention of post
poning the hearing until April 7. I'll
answer the writ of the supreme court"
said he.
"If your honor please" aid Attorney
Ransom Cooper, 1--WE wish to take an eX-
ception to the ruling you have just
made. We are here ready to proceed,
just as we have been on several other
occasions"
"All right said the judge.
That settled the whole proceeding and
the attorneys gathered up their DOCKS
and left the room.
If people whose property has been
damaged by Mayor Harrington's "cut
down administration keep on getting
judgments against the city the officials
who have been getting rake-offs from
gambling house proprietors, Slot ma
! chine owners and Galena street percent
ages on robberies will either have to
! divide their spoils with the treasury de-
partment or declare the city hall in
proper shape to be soaked" to raise
money to liquidate a portion of the
claims. In Judge Lindsay's department
last evening William O'Donnell and
others secured a judgment for $3.50 for
damage to their property through the
Improvement" act, and in Judge
Clancy's court this morning Annie
! Hanley scored a base hit with a $77O
Judgment. Witnesses in her case testi-
fed that her property had been damaged
fully $500, but she asked for only $77O
John H. Curtis placed it at $500, but
when closely questioned admitted that
! he had overlooked an item of $2o.
Elphonse Boucher, ]. w. Deschenes
and Ludger LaBrie, all natives OF
Canada, applied to Judge Clancy this
/ morning for final citizenship papers,, but
did not get them. Their first papers
were dated March 80, 1897, and the judge
decided that the necessary two years in
tervening would not expire until tomor-
row.
Nellie O. Henault has answered the
) complaint in the suit brought against
her by Sullivan, Drew & Co. to recover
Judgment for $3.50. 70, which the plaintiffs
I allege the defendant owes them, anC
) made a counter claim for $1.O15.H. III
the document she alleges that in Febru'
ary of 1898 she went to New York to buy
, goods for her millinery store and while
) there entered into an agreement witt
; the plaintiffs for the purchase OF S30'
I worth from them. AS an inducement TO
! her to buy from them they agreed, sh'
) says, to receive all the goods she Dough
in the city and pack and ship them tt
