CAT PULLED THE TRIGGER.

Novato Cal, Cor. New York Herald:
While attempting to STAY a house cat
with a rifle yesterday Francis Pelky mar
rowly missed losing his life. The cat, an
old household pet. literally pulled the
trigger and sent a bullet into Pelky's
left foot. MIR. Pelky had decided to kill
the animal because of its extreme age.
He held her in one hand and with the
other placed the muZzle of the rifle at her
breast. Tabby's age, however, had not
dimmed her eyes or dulled her instinct Of
self preservation. In the struggle Pelky's
rifle nearly slipped from his grasp. He
grabbed the weapon by the stock. His
fingers and the cats foot accidentally
touched the trigger, and a bullet nearly
cut off the big toe of his left foot. The
cat departed and has not returned.

Bricklayer Seat0n Accused of
Assault on S. P. GuilnOnt.
THE BORDEAUX PLACER
Claimed BY Two Sets of OWners--Suit
Instituted to determine the
Lay of the Title.

A complaint charging a bricklayer
named Seaton with assault in the third
degree on Simon p. Guimont was issued
from the county attorneys office today
and filed in Justice Harrington's court.
uimon had it done. To Con Kelly, who
issued the document, he stated that Sea-
ton worked at the Montana Ore Purchas-
ing company's smelter and he himself
was employed at the Butte & Boston.
Both We're on the car which leaves Main
street at Z o'clock. When opposite the
B. & B. slnelter Guimont prepared to get
off and Seaton stepped up behind him
and struck him a blow on the neck,
knocking him into the snow. The blow
dazed him. he said. In view of the fact
that he had never spoken to Seaton he
did not understand his actions.
The Butte Consolidated Mining com-
pany began suit in the district today
against Louis Frank and Charles LoWen-
son to recover judgment for $500 and pre-
vent them from working the Bordeaux
placer claim, In the complaint the plain
tiff states that the ground in controversy
was located February s, 1897, and it is en-
titled to it's possession: that on Novem-
Der 4 of this year defendants entered the
premises without right or authority and
now hold them to the exclusion Of plain
tiff. For this plaintiff demands judg-
ment for $500.
For a separate cause of action the
plaintiff sets forth the allegations of the
first and asks the court to restrain de-
fendants from further alleged encroach-
ment.
The Bordeaux, says the plaintiff, is
bounded on the east by placer application
No. 953, on the south by the Leonard and
west by the Matte, hico and Bully Boy
claims.
An affidavit made by John r. Evans ac-
companies the complaint. In the docu-
ment aftiant says that On December l.
defendants entered the underground
workings of the claim and began work;
that affiant claims to be the owner of the
and defendants have no right,
title or interest in it; that the character
of the work being done indicates that de-
are attempting to remove the
ores II minerals of the property. and If
the are allowed to take the ore plaintiff
will have no means of ascertaining the
value Of it and Will be unable to protect
itself against them; that before this ac-
ton was commenced defendants We're no
titled to cease trespassing upon said
ground, but they d~isregarded the notice
and refused to surrender possession of
the property.
Judge Clancy has issued an order re-
quiring defendants to appear before him
January 6 and show cause why an order
from continuing the work, and in the
meantime he has enjoined them from
working the property.

specialist, Mr. Denney does not dabble in
insurance, rentals, loans and abstracts as
side or main issues, but confines himself
strictly to the selling of real estate, or, to
be more exact, to the selling of Omaha city
property exclusively. That he is an ef
fective worker results prove. Doing busi-
ness strictly upon a commission basis, Mr..
Denney has large clientele who trust him
implicitly; and having dealt in Omaha prop
erty for the last thirteen years, he is con-
sidered an authority upon values
such is our faith in Denney," said Hon.
A. u. Wyman, president of the Omaha Loan

of the United States, that he is always
at liberty to come into our establishment
and select any of our property and offer II
for sale at his own price, SO much conf
dence do we repose in his fairness and
good judgment"
Speaking of the condition Of the market
and Omaha's prospects, Mr.. Denney says:
Real estate values have descended to that
interesting stage where people are beginning
to figure again, as evidenced by the large
number of sales made during the past year
An unprecedented building season Is assured
for next year, and this, taken in connection
with the prevailing prosperity of the jobber,
the retailer and the farmer, together with
the advent of the three railways headed

breaker in all lines of commercial enter
prise"

Not Exempt From Tax Liability.

In the case of a Philadelphia company
which transports natural gas direct from
the wells to the consumer having no plant
and claiming exemption from tax under
recent treasury decision, Commissioner
the term pipe line as used in section -
of the war revenue act, does not extend to
gas mains and pipes through which gas is
conveyed and distributed directly to the
consumer, but ordinarily natural gas is
first transported from the wells by pipe
lines to some central point, and then in
troduced into distributing mains or pipes,
and at a much lower pressure. In such
cases two systems are used one for trans
porting and the other for distributing the
gas. The fact that the two systems are
connected and controlled by the same com
pany would not exempt the company from
tax liability under the law"

enue office has modified former ruling
the subject of stamp tax on bills of lading
for export in which he holds that such bills,
whether issued singly or in sets of two or
more, covering one shipment, require only
one stamp of 10 cents. This ruling is made
on the theory that the words bills of lad
iEg" in the law being in the plural and
made the equivalent alternative for the
word receipt employed therein in the
singular intended by the law-Inaking
power to apply to one transaction A num-
Der of arguments are presented in support
of this view, among them the fact that in
a number of instances where duplicate in
struments are to be stamped Congress has
specifically so stated.

GOLD CERTIFICATES.
Continued Demand on the Various
Subtreasuries for Them.

1t is said by Treasury Department Off
Gals that the amount of gold certificates
issued in exchange for gold thus far has
been about S12,0O0000, with a continuing de-
mand the various subtreasuries The
issue in New York has been about S60OO,-
600; Chicago, S2.0O0,000; Baltimore, Still
$50; Washington, S642, $50; Philadelphia.
$4,000.
Comments in several newspapers, and the
requests of some banks manifest miscon-
ception of the attitude of the Treasury De-
partment with reference to gold certificates
One journal complains that the department
provides for only s20,0o0,O00, and states that
such sum is wholly inadequate.
No such meager provision was made On
the contrary, when the issue of gold certifi-
Gates was resumed the department held
not in its cash, but available for immediate
use, SIS, 24O, 900 in various denomina TONS
and of these $14, $4,000 were smaller than
1000 each. In addition the department
held $51, 100000 in denominations of 5000
and $4,000, TO be issued to order, and $780,
100000 for special use in New York of like
certificates. This is a total of $17O, 24O COO
AS the demand may run on certain de-
nominations beyond the supply, the bureau
of engraving and prin..ng is engaged in pre-
pairing further sums of $4S,OO0,OOO.
