SICK AND PENNILESS,
The Red Cross Society Takes Care of
Private Wise


Private Wise.
Sick, alone and friendless. John s.
Wise of Company H, LIST Montana vol
unteers, was found in a room at the
Bellevue house this afternoon by Mrs.
A. j. Shaw of the executive committee
or the Red Cross society, says the Spo-
kane Chronicle
Wise arrived in the citv last evening
over the Oregon Railway & Navigation
on ms way to his home in Montana
upon reaching here he was too ill to
continue his journey and was compelled
TO leave the train He went to the Pa
cihc. hotel, but as the rooms there We're
all full he was sent across the street to
the Bellevue and a doctor was called
but Wise this afternoon did not remem-
Der the name of the doctor who had pre-
scribed for him.
When he was seen at his room this
afternoon by Chronicle reporter, he
said that he had been alone since last
night, except that the doctor had called
on him this morning for few minutes
He was in very bad condition and
could talk only with great difficulty. He
said that he had come over from Ma
Mia with his regiment, which had ar
rived at San Francisco on the 23d of
last month. His health had been good
till he reached San Francisco. when it
began to fail him. and for the past three
or four weeks he had been getting worse
all the time.
His regiment was taken home at the
expense of the state. but Wise says that
he did not feel able to make the trip
with them, as they were going around
by the way of Butte, SO he bought his
own ticket and started to go home di-
rect. He was compelled, however, to
stop off at Portland to rest up. and has
succeeded in getting only as far as this
city. He says that his principal trouble
Is dysentery but that he Is also suffer-
ing from a bad cold. which has settled
on his lungs.
The Red Cross ladies did not hear of
his condition till this afternoon and
steps We're at once taken by them to
have him looked after. Mrs A. j. Shaw
called to see him just as the reporter
was about to leave. but Wise was too
i'll to talk much about himself. He ex-
pressed a desire to be taken to a hos
pital and arrangements are being made
to have him removed to the Protestant
sanitarium this afternoon, where he will
be cared for at the expense of the ladies
of the Red Cross. He will be treated by
DR.. Olmsted.

RIGHTS Of A SLEEPER
Can Defend the Sanctity of His
Slumber.
HE COMMITS NO OFFENSE
When He Uses Force to EieCt Any One
Who D:sturbs His Dream De-
ctsion in Favor OF the
Night Gang.

A jury held yesterday that Il d person
insists on talking and kicking up
rumpus thereby preventing Il man
from sleeping who has to work nights,
that man commits no offenSc if he uses
sufficient force to eject the disturber
of his slumbers from his premises.
1t was in the case in which Police
officer John O'Meara was arrested Two
or three days ago for aSS8utng his
sister-in-la Mrs. John F"Glrty. Po-
liceman OMeara's trial came up yes
terday before Justice Nichols. He
asked that a jury be callnd to hear the
case. Six good men and tlu" were soon
sworn who listened attcmtiVeIy to the
testimony and returned verdict ac-
quitting the defendant, thereby declar-
ing that men who toll while others
sleep have some rights thu others are
bound to respect.
Chief Deputy County Attorney Con
Kelley and Deputy Roy s Alley pros
ecuted the case against q Meara. VINO
did not seem to think it required
lawyer to plead his case. ana conducted
it himself. The house Of Fogarty was
very numerously represented among
to the defendant and the prosecution,
and their evidence did not seem to in
dictate that any grievouS uifense had
been committed. 1t was to the effect
that officer O'Meara was IN the night
shift and had to sleep days. The Eros
ecutriX visited his hCus. and talked
so loud that he could not sleep. En-
dsperated beyond measure, he finally
ordered her out of the house. and at
length found it necessary to rirrt her.
Nc one seemed to think she had been
very badly treated. eXcent the lady
herself she denied that she kept
OMeara awake and said thai as soon
as she entered OMeara'S house his wife
called to him and said. "tlHrc is she is
now; come down and put her OUT He
did come. dressed only in his under
clothes, and assaulted her, throwing
her about and tearing her saCque.
The defendant told his story, saying
that he worked nights ana was great
ly annoyed by the prosecutriX talking
so loud that he could not sleep, and he
tory measures.
il did not take the jury long to find
a verdict of acquittal.
Some people think it quite a pity that
the same jury could not sit in iudG-
ment on some sufferer who would an
initiate some hundreds Of banana ped
dlers. etc. who maxi the forenoon
hours of the day hidcous with their
discordant yells without any regard for
people who are compelled to try and
sleep during those hours.
William Bennier and Miss Mary l..
Harrington both Of Butte. were united
in marriage by Justice Nichols yester-
day.

these sections embodies an express re-
stflctlon upon the powers of the leSls-
lative assembly
sectional, article of the constitution
provides as follows: Except as other
wise provided in this constitution. NJ
law shall extend the term Of any public
oflicef. or increase or diminish his sal
airy or emoluments after his election or
appointment; provided, that this shall
not be construed TO forbid the legisla-
tive assembly from fixing the salaries
or emolumentS of those officers first
elected or appointed under this consti-
tuition, where such salaries or emOlu-
ments are not fixed by the constitution"
The legislative assembly two years
ago fixed the salary and emoIuments of
the office of county surveyor At the
time of the election of the present in
cumbentS that salary was fixed and de-
termined. 1t continued to be so fixed
and determined upon the induction of
those officers into office. The legislation
now under consideration diminishes
this salary to the extent of wiping the
same out of existence, and II language
means anything at all, such action on
the part of the legislature is not in con-
formity with this provision of the con-
stitution. which prevents legislation of
the kind indicated.
1t is my opinion that the county sur
veyors now in office should continue to
exercise the supervision which they are
now exercising over the public high
ways during their term of office.
1t is possible that section of the law
by analogy would provide for the pay
ment of judges of election from the road
district fund. This section provides in
general terms that all laws relative to
the election of school trustees, so far as
not inconsistent with this act, are here
by made applicable to the election of
road supervisor in each road district.
You have in the school law provisions
ample in their nature to regulate the
election of school trustees. and if the
section in question is not too vague and
indefinite by reference it makes Gppli-
cable those laws governing school elec-
tons. | would be inclined to hold that
this provision is constitutional, and that
in every instance in determining the
procedure governing the election Of
road supervisors a reference might BE-
had to the school election law. and road
supervisors substituted for school trus-
tee whenever the same could be done in
advantage
AS registering is required in school
districts whenever the board consists of
seven trustees. | suppose by analogy
where road district embraced the law
of such a school district. registering
could be accomplished. | do not be-
lieve, however, that this law in its scope
or tenor, aside from this general refer
ence clause. contemplates registration.
The general provisions of the registra-
tion law are not applicable and could
not possibly be made applicable.
Section IS of this law provides for the
repeal of the law of two years ago, in so
far as it affects the present county sur
veyors. is unconstitutional, or in so far
