the city council having Heretofore
given the water company notice that
after October, 1897. the use of the four
additional hydrants would be discon-
tinued. On trial the water company
contended that the contract for the
four last fire plugs was understood to
run the full unexpired term of the ten
year franchise; while the city main
tanned that it was only a yearly lease
as to these four hydrants. The COM
pany had expended over $1,000 in put
ting in the hydrants. The district court
upheld the water company's construc-
tion of the contract. The supreme
court, in an opinion by Justice Hunt,
affirms the action of the trial court,
holding that city had no right to order
and take the additional hydrants upon
any other basis than that upon which
it took the first fifteen hydrants. The
contention of the city that mandamus
is not the proper remedy in this case Is
held to have been decided adverse to

FOURTH OF JULY.
A Brilliant Exhibition Planned by the
Committee.

Committee.
Missoula, June 5.-The celebration of
the Fourth of July last year was pro-
nounced by everybody who witnessed
it the most successful that Missoula
ever saw. The city was thronged with
guests and there was no hitch in the
programme aside from the accident
with the fireworks display, which was
caused by the carelessneSS Of one OF
the attendants. From start to finish,
the celebration was a success. All OF
the displays, the parades, the. races,
the bicycle carnival in the evening
all these were held in the city and the
ciyt received the benefit of it all. The
executive committee of the celebration
this year is substantially the same as
last and the general plan of the cele-
bration will be identical with the one
that was so successful a year ago. 1t
is the present purpose of the commit
tee to make the morning parade the
finest that was ever held in Missoula
and to so arrange the bicycle carnival
for the evening that it will be bril-
liant pageant, SURPRISING in its splen-
dor the famous parade of 1883. Those
who are in charge of this part of the
celebration are anxious to have all the
wheelmen of Western Montana take
part in the parade and in the display
of designs that will be made. Notice is
given this early in order that all wheel
men may have time to prepare for the
event and to make their floats more
effective even than they were last year.
Practically the same valuable prizes
| will be given that were offered year
| ago. The details will be announced in
a short time, but in the meantime it is
hoped that everybody with a wheel
will be making preparations to be in
| line.

A Bold Ho1dup.

Spokane, Sept. 4.-The first gambling
house holdup in Spokane since the excit-
ing clean out of the lie Roi a year ago
happened at BIAS o'clock Sunday morning
III Harry Green's hall over Alladio's res
taurant. Two masked men with four
heavy cahber guns robbed the place Of
about Sl700 in gold, silver and bills. They
escaped unmolested through the rear hall
ways aud by the back entrance.
In their flight they were pursued by
Merchants Policeman Richard Gemmrig.
On Brown street, between Riverside and
Sprague avenues, and on Sprague between
Brown and Bernard, fusillade of more
than dozen shots was exchanged between
the officer and the highwaymen- On
| Sprague avenue near the corner of Ber-
nard, Gemmrig fell to the pavement with
a bullet through his groin. He was con
veyed to the Protestant hospital, where
he now lies in serious condition. While
hopes for the best are entertained, there
is grave fear that his wound will prove
fatal.
One of the two highwaymen was cap
tured a few moments after Genmrig was
shot. His place of hiding in clump OF
bushes in vacant lot ON First avenue
near Bernard street was surrounded by Of
fcers. Having thrown away both his guns
he surrendered and was pulled from his
hiding place by Patrol Driver Freeman
who had joined in the chase.
Evidence against Jack Williams, the
captured robber, as the man who shot
Gemmrig, could scarcely be stronger if a
dozen persons had stood by and watched
him fire the shot
Frank Fair, aged % years, who gives
his occupation as machinist, was arrested
on Howard street Sunday on suspicion Of
being the second highwayman. He Is
said to answer the description closely. He
was arrested by Officer Brusch. Fair /:
an ex-convict. He is said to have served
more than one term in the penitentiaIy
for crime.

GREAT PARADE OF VETERANS.
Glorious Celebration In Philsd elphia-
Forty Thousand Ex-Soldiers in Line
The March Most to Much for Them
Review by the President.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. eight hun
dred thousand people saw the parade OF
over 10000 Grand Army veterans, and
with one accord pronounced it the most
impressive pageant ever seen in Philadel-
phia. The majority of the old soldiers in
line bore the strain OF the formation and
march admirably. They marched with
precision, even if they were not as quick
an obeying commands as in the COS. The
arrangements were all that could be de-
sired and all along the route the marchers
were supplied with refreshing drink by the
water couriers who everywhere attended
them.
But despite the admirable arrangements
the parade was necessarily attended with
much fatigue and there were thousands
among the spectators who expressed the
opinion that the time has come to aban-
don this most inspiring feature of the ma
tional encampment. At every national
encampment for nearly decade the same
proposal has been made without result,
but it may now be put down as GER
tainty that the veterans will not march
many more years
The great column formed in Broad street
in the vicinity of Girard avenue. Heading
the procession was Acting Commander
in-Chief johnson of Cincinnati and the
members of his staff. Accompanying
them rode General Latta, the grand mar
shall of the day and his aids, who escorted
the commander to the reviewing stand in
front of the city hall, while the Thousands
of spectators who lined the sidewalks
and occupied the windows and roofs OF
the buildings shouted an enthusiastic vel
come. The governors and other state otii
GERS of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the
mayor and the city officials of Philadel
phia, and the various committees followed
in carriages, and all took their places OIL
the reviewing stand, where the president
and party were already seated. Genera
Miles, Adjutant General Corbin and othel
distinguished guests from the national cap
ital also occupied seats at the city hall.
The parade began shortly before l.
o'clock and though the route had beer
considerably shortened it was after
o'clock when the last flags passed the re
viewing stands. The route was dowi
Broad street past the city hall, east OF
Market to Fourth, to Chestnut, to Broad

tanooga, Tenn, says;
A mounted, armed mob of some 200 men
took charge of court, sheriff and the hti-
giants Monday at johnson Springs, Va,
and put a stop to the proceedings.
Elder Joseph Wufin, Mormon, was
murderously assaulted some nights ago
from ambush. Fleming Ridley, farmer,
was arrested as leader in the attack on
a charge OF assault with intent to murder.
He was arraigned for trial and soon
after horsemen surrounded the court house
and threatened to lynch Elder Wuffin un-
less he agreed to withdraw the prosecution
and leave the country. Fearing they
would carry their threat into execution he
withdrew the case.
