MARSH IS BOUND OVER
He Must Stand Trial in the Dis
trict Court.
A GRAND LARCENY CHARGE
Able Arguments Made for Both the De-
Tense and Prosecution Before JUS
tice Nichols - Mrs. Curtis
Pleaded Not Guilty.

Justice Nichols yesterday morning
hearing of the case of the state against
Burt Marsh, charged with grand lar
ceny. This hearing has attracted con-
siderable attention owing to the posi-
tion of the defendant, who is practicing
law in the lower courts and to the
point blank contradictions of each other
by some of the witnesses.
Edwin S. Booth represented Marsh
and Deputy County Attorney Roy S.
Alley appeared for the state Mr. Booth,
in a very strong argument, maintained
that as a legal proposition the defend
ant could not be convicted of grand
larceny, for the reason that if the de-
PENDANT had any interest whatever IN
the money over which the trouble arose,
and admitting the story of the prese-
cutting witness to be true, Marsh could
not be convicted of grand larceny. He
also contended that if any offense at
all had been shown that it was merely
larceny.
Mr. Booth insisted that the story of
the affair as told by Jones and by
Fisher was not to be believed with re-
gard to the receipt given to Marsh by
Jones. and which Jones claimed was a
forgery. Mr.. Booth contended that it
was genuine and that if the prosecuting
attorney had any evidence that it was
a forgery it would be his duty to dis
miss the grand larceny proceedings and
file complaint for forgery. Mr.. Booth
stated that even if Marsh's entire testi-
mony was disregarded, yet the testi-
mony of Walsh and Netting, Mrs
Marsh and Constable Mitchell was suf-
ficient to eXonerate the defendant. Mr..
Booth concluded with an earnest appeal
to the court for the dismissal of the
complaint and the discharge of the de-
PENDANT.
Deputy County Attorney Alley fol-
lowed with an able resume of the tes-
timony of the witnesses heard. He re-
ferred to the testimony of Mr. Fisher
and to the receipt in full which Marsh
gave to Fisher in the 5000 suit and also
to the statement of Fisher that Marsh
Offered him $50 for the return of the re-
ceipt in full and to the fact that Marsh
in his testimony did not deny this
statement. Mr. Alley also dwelt strong
ly upon the testimony of Justice Bliss
and others from South Butte, who tes-
titled that they heard Marsh say to
Mrs. Jones that he received a hundred
dollars and paid Jones $50.
AT the conclusion of the argument
Justice Nichols deferred a decisiQn un-
I'll A o'clock in the afternoon in order
shat he might review the transcript of
the testimony. AT that hour he or
dered the defendant to answer in the
district court and placed his bonds at
$500.
Mrs Eliza beth Curtis. the old lady for
whose arrest for creating a disturbance
n warrant was issued Friday. was be-
fore Judge Nichols yesterday for ar
raignment. She entered a plea of not
guilty and had her hearing set for to-
morrow. AS she was unable to give
bonds she was committed to the coun-
~ Jail.

A Word About Special
Sales

Wade around knee deep in printers
ink, screech like steam calliope in
circus time and let truth go hang
that's one way of advertising special
sales, and that is exactly what has
brought the so-called special sales into
disrepute. 1t is therefore important for
us to have the point we'll understood
that our great clearance sale is not a
special sale in the ordinary sense of the
term.
In advertising our reductions we have
not permitted an over statement OF
facts. Many there are who may have
doubted our statements and there may
have been those who have said to them
selves, "Oh, there's nothing in it." In
failing to investigate this sale they
have simply reasoned themselves out
of a good thing. But those who have
called here have seen something in it,
and have secured bargains that could
not, and will not again be duplicated
under any other circumstances.
We want customers tomorrow for
some of our finest and most elaborate
styles, two $3.50 Instruments for 1896 and
1912; another regular $500 style for $751;
all on special terms of $50 down and $15
a month. Several palmer styles all
fresh and new, for $255, $21S and $lS6.
You can now pick up at this sale
splendid, serviceable, largest size, fully
warranted upright piano that cannot
be bought anywhere else in the country
for less than $3.50. You can get it here
tomorrow for $15S and others for STAT
and even less. Remember, too, that
you can secure any of these pianos on
payments of $40 a month. In organs
we have the largest variety ever dis
played in Butte. You can get splen-
did brand new instrument, having two
full sets of reeds, double divided octave
couplers, forte stops and VoX humane,
an organ that can't be bought at retail
for less than $50 You can buy it now
for SAT and a somewhat fancier case for
$57; SO down and IS a month secures
choice of any organ now in stock.
Then we have a large assortment of
secondhand and slightly used upright
pianos that have been rented or taken
in part payment for new Kimballs dur
ing the past week. Have splendid large
cabinet grand size Hale upright for
$145; an Estey in good condition for
| $135, another upright for $115. All of
them have been carefully tuned and

large number of others at almost any
price you wish to name.
Come in, at once. Nothing is to be
gained by waiting until the last day of
the sale. Prices will not be one cent
lower than they We're on the first morn
ing of the sale and later on you will not

TO ENFORCE CONTRACT.
Miles Finlen Brings Suit for $4,000
Damages.

Miles FinIen yesterday commenced
an action in the district court against
John Devlin. Marion NJ. Devlin. Mary
E. Reilly, E. P. Passmore and the
Johnstown Mining company, to enforce
the performance of contract and for
$25 900 damages. The complaint in the
case alleges that on Feb. 8, 1896, the
Devlins and Mrs. Reilly, who were the
owners of three quarter interest in
the Minnie Healy mine, executed
lease to T. r. Kinds and an agreement
to sell their interests in the mine dur
ing the term of the lease for $i5,ooo
Kinds was to do certain development
work and to pay the owners one-fourth
of three quarters of the ore taken
out. The lease and bond ran for two
years Before the expiration of the
lease Kinds transferred it to James L.
Finlen. and the latter assigned it to the
plaintiff, who secured an extension
from the Devlins and Mrs. Reilly until
Feb. g. 1900. in consideration OF DONG
some additional work. On the 18th OF
the present month. according to the
terms of the lease. he paid into the
First National bank $4,000. in behalf OF
Mrs. Reilly and the Devlins, and de-
manded the deed, but was notified that
an eighth interest had been sold to II.
p Passmore. The latter was notified
of the deposit in the bank and was IN
formed that upon MS eHecutlol pi
deed to the plaintiff for the one-elghth
interest, he would be paid $l2,5OO The
Johnstown Mining company CLAIMS TO
have received a deed from Passmore
for the interest secured by him, and all
the defendants have refused to execute
the deeds to the plaintiff. Mr. Finlen
says that he and his predecessor in IN
terest in the lease have fulfilled all ITS
terms and have expended large sums
of money on the property, and by the
action of the defendants and by their
breach of the contract he has been
damaged in the sum of S25,oot, Tor
which amount he asks Judgment. He
also asks the court to compel the de-
PENDANTS to perform their part OF the
contract and to decree that any rights
Passnore and the Johnstown company
may have are subsequent to the rights
of the p1aintiff.

IN The DIVORCE COURT
Co-Respondent Gives Testimony
Against Himself.
HE ASSISTS THE HUSBAND
Testified That He Was Criminally Init
mate With Schueller's Wife, but
Said He Didn't Know at the
Time She Was Married.

The remarkable and unusual act of
correspondent in a divorce case CIV
ing testimony against himself and as
sisting the injured husband in proving
a charge of intidelity against his wife
was witnessed in Judge Clancy's court
yesterday afternoon The case was
that of George Schueller against Katie
Schueller. The plaintiff testified that
he was married to the defendant in
Helena on September u, 1896, and that
during their residence in Butte the de-
PENDANT had been guilty of criminal in
tlmacy with Mark Mayerly and Joe
Chute on several occasions and at dit
ferent places.
AT the conclusion of Schueller's testi-
mony his attorney made a statement
to the court and apologized for the
next witness he would put on the
stand. He stated that the man was
one of the correspondents and that
while he would give evidence in sup
port OF Schueller's charge against his
wife, he did not want it to be consid-
cred that he was giving evidence
against himself. Mark Mayerly was
then put on the stand and told of his
intimacy with Mrs. Schueller and about
her visits to his room He did not know
at that time, however, that she was a
married woman, and as soon as he
learned 1t he cut her from his list of
acquaintance. The court granted
Schueller decree of divorce and he
left the court room with Mayerly, the
two appearing to be the best of friends.
Alice D. Kerr also secured a divorce
from Benjamin j. Kerr on the ground
of non-support. The evidence was that
the parties were married in Butte on
April 20, 1896, and that for more than
a year the defendant contributed moth
ing to the support of the plaintiff, but
squandered his money and compelled
her to support herself. Mrs. Kerr was
granted the custody of a minor child.
The Westlake case came up again
yesterday afternoon on the application
of the defendant for the appointment
of receiver to take charge of the
property held by.Mrs Westlake, but
was only partially heard and was then
continued until next Saturday.
In Judge Lindsay's court proofs had
been set for hearing in the White di-
vorce case in which a colored lawyer
represented the plaintiff but the case
was not reached and was continued till
next Saturday.

SOLD A HERD OF ELEPHANTS.
Michigan Man Makes a Big Deal With
the King of Siam.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

from the chicago Inter Ocean.
Warner P. Sutton of Saugatuck,
Mich, has just sold 80 elephants. He
received 37.12O- for the bunch, or $74220
a head and he says it was an extra
good price. He had had the animals
upon the market for two years. and
would have been glad to get $50, 900 for
them. The elephant market was
glutted, however, and he had to wait
until a customer came along who could
afford to own such herd and to EN-
ploy the $50 men needed to care for and
work the beasts.
These elephants were part of the
Cheek estate in Siam which Mr.. SUIT
ton is settling up for the widow, Mrs.
Sarah Bradley Cheek of Oakland, Cal.
The late Mr.. Cheek was an American
citizen who lived in Siam, and being
a man who feared nothing he went into
the lumber business in partnership
with the Siamese king. His majesty
furnished the forests and possibly the
capital. At any rate Mr.. Cheek put in
the brains and the enterprise pros
pered. 1t is not charged that Mr.. Cheek
died because he was the kings part
ner but at any rate he passed away,
and there were rumOrs of differences
between him and the king before he
did so.
When Mrs. Cheek asked for settle
ment there was trouble. What the
trouble was is not clear, but it seems
that the king did not intend to be rash
about paying her anything. Mrs Cheek
was Michigan girl. and had a broth
er, the REV. Dan Bradley of Grand
Rapids, through whom the matter was
| placed in the hands of Mr.. Sutton. The
| latter has had considerable experience
| in handling recalcitrant foreigners He
| had never handled an unruly king, but

The Bowling Green site is now occupied
the north by a row OF low buildings OF com
paratiVey slight value. which tenanted by
steamship companies. On the southern part OF
the plot are two three warehouses OF unpre-
tentious dimensions. The site Is double the area
OF that occupied by the present Custom House.
II has the advantage OF being conveniently
located for general approach. All the elevated
roads OF the city converge at South Ferry near

from Brooklyn. Staten Island and New-Jersey.

Grounds and when Collector Bidwell was enter
tanning the committee at luncheon at the Law
yers' Club Congressman David II Mercer, chair
man Of the committee, gave assurance that the
bill providing for the erection OF the Gus

favorably reported by the committee, and would
doubtless pass the House and the Senate.
The process adopted to secure the Bowling
Green site Will doubtless be that Of cOndemna-
ton, for the property belongs TO a number OF
estates. and could hardly be secured otherwise.
Congressman Qugg thinks II will probably take
two and a half years to acquire the site and
erect the new building
