WAS FINED FOR ASSAULT
Paddy Mcmahon Took a Fall Out
of Siebenaler.
HE HIT HIM WITH A ROCK
The Alderman Says Mcmahon Came
Upon Him Unawares and Dragged
Him Down-Taken to the
Hospital.

Yesterday morning as A. G. sebenaler
was going to work at the Butte Reduc-
ton works he was assaulted by Paddy
| Mcmahon at the street car crossing of
the Montana Union tracks just east of
the assay office in which Mr.. Sebenaler
has been working for years.
The story of the affair as told by Mr.
Siebenaler to STANDARD reporter who
called on the injured man yesterday at
| his residence, SIT West Silver street,
is in substance and purport as follows:
THE story properly should begin
three weeks ago when | was riding
down Montana street on the boulevard
car, of which McMahon was and is still
conductor. A lady boarded the car up
town and on the route rendered Nc
Mahon 500 bill, as she said she had
nothing smaller in bills or change. The
conductor said to her
You have been up town long enough
to get the bill changed. If you do that
again l will give you all nickels in
change.
THE remarks / regarded as insulting
and | told McMahon so. The matter
rested there until yesterday when ] was
on the car again. This time a man who
works in the assay Office with me ten
dered Mcmahon a $40 bill and the con-
ductor made some sarcastic remark
and spoke up and said: That is legal
tender, isn't it?' and he replied that on
street car it was not legal tender. We
had stiff argument over that and
when we reached Main and Park street.
we were pretty hot. MCMahon invited
me and my friend to return as far as
Montana street, where he would accom-
modate me with fist fight. ] went out
with him. but he declined to fight. say
ing that l was drunk and did not know
what l was talking about. AS mat
ter of fact I was not drunk nor did
show any effects of drinking. l admit
that l talked pretty plain to him.
yesterday morning | rode down the
boulevard line as far as the crossing
of the Montana Union tracks. Nc
Mahon does not take the run until 4
o'clock in the afternoon. When the car
stopped, l as usual stepped off, but just
as I was drawing my hand from the
railing of the steps, McMahon, who was
in waiting for me, came up from be-
hind me and with his right hand grasp
ing rock he let me have it sQuarely
under the right eye ! staggered and
McMahon dragged me down and pum-
meled my face with his fist The car
proceeded on it's route and there was
no one closer than 100 feet away. This
was a man named Kerr. ] ran over to
Gilberts saloon and tried to get pis-
toll. ] would have shot Mcmahon if |
could have gotten hold of a gun. Gil

to the county attorneys office, where l

BEFORE JUDGE LINDSAY
The Ralnsdsll Parrot Mining
Case Dis missed.
HAS BEEN SETTLED
The Action Was Against W. A. Clark
and Was for Heavy Dana ses aud
an Accounting - The Trial
Calendar Arranged.

The old Ra,usiell-Parrotm mining case
in which the original plaintiff was Jo-
seph RamsdeTi, but who IS now repre-
scented by the administrator of the es-
tate, J. L. Talbot, was dismissed yes
terday as settled. The action was
against William A. Clark and had been
tried once some years ago. The defend
ant was sued for heavy damages and
fbr an accounting OF ores taken out OF
the mine while Clark had a lease on it.
Judge Lindsay had another big cal
endar yesterday afternoon. and was not
able to dispose of all the business call
ing for his attention. The controVer-
sy over the receivership matter in the
case of Ellen S. Cornue against H. A.
Root and others was practically settled
yesterday, and by consent the receiver
was allowed s2,250 as compensation. It
was also agreed that the rece yer should
be discharged after he had filed sup
Elemental report and its approval by
the court.
An interesting legal question was
raised in an argument for judgment on
the pleadings in a damage suit against
physician for alleged improper treat
ment of a fractured limb. The defense
to the action is that the physician in
the case Possesses ordinary skill and
ability, and as such physician gave the
plaintiff treatment, but did not guaran-
tee to cure him. This not being denied
by replication, the defendants attor-
ney claims to be entitled to judgment.
The matter was taken under advise
ment.
The case of Thomas Mitchell against
Harry Blumkin and Susan Mitchell
against Harry Blumkin were dismissed
as settled.

FALSE PRETENSES.

w. j. Stack Arrested at the Instance of
Boucher, the Clothier.
w. J. Stack, until recently employed at
the M. o. P. smelter, was arrested by the
police yesterday on a charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses. The arrest
was made at the instance of Boucher, the
clothier, who informed the police that
Stack had induced him to cash his time
check after he had assigned 1t to another
If the statement Of Stack is true, he
does not appear to have committed any
very grave offenSe. In explaining the Sit

Bile with my wife and decided to leavs
her. I had IA days pay coming to me at
the smelter and I wanted to get it.
was drunk and had an idea 1 would
have to have lawyer to get 1t for me.
Accordingly 1 went to Lawyer Hamilton
and asked him If he conldnt get the
money for me. He said he could, and
drew UP an order for my time which 1
signed. He went across the street to the
NJ. o. P. office and was told that I
would have to go the smelter and get my
time from the timekeeper. I did so and
came back and found Hamilton had left
his office. After waiting long time with
out finding him, I concluded I could get
the money somewhere else and went to
Boucher, whom l owed a bill for 50, and
told him I wanted to pay the bill and get
the balance of my time in money. He
cashed the check I had no idea 1 was
doing anything wrong. When Boucher
presented the check he found Hamilton
had the order in and that he could not
get his money. He accordingly caused
my arrest"
