the three defendants are the sole heirs,
and in addition to the Is shares john IS
entitled to a third of the proceeds OF the
remaining five; that in the determination
of the suit there should be charged to Ed
yin and Lucy, Bray half OF the excess
drawn by the father. -,
In conclusion John E.. Bray asks the
court to decree him the owner OF $l'44..oV
representing Is of the shares and a thlrd
of the S4S2. so remaining and that EDWIN
and Lucy Bray then account TO MIN LOT
half of the money drawn out or the pank
for the use of the father.
The separate answer of Edwin and Lucy
Rrav is quite a live document. 1t alleges
that in 1888 Edwin Bray, ST., had $3.50. 80
on deposit in the Hibernia bank ana that
he gave his son JOIN permission to invest
it in Spring Valley water stock; that
John, as agent for the father. drew the
money and bought the stock IN MS own
name, using s., 653. so with which to 90 IT,
that he converted the balance to his own
nse and has withheld it from the estate
that in September of 1855, at when tlne
the breach of trust was discovered, tne
father revoked the agency OF John ~.
BRAY. and appointed Edwin Bray TO act
in his place. that the agency OF John was
revoked on account of his fraudulent acts
in buying the stock in his W name ana
converting the remaining $612.S3 to his
own use; that thereafter the father re-
Deatedly declared that John should never
inherit any portion of the stock; that pc
fore the death of the father he SOLD nNe
shares of the stock and gave the remain
ing % to his wife Martha, who was the
mother of all the defendants; that Detore
Martha died she transferred the remaln-
ing shares to Edwin and Lucy Bray, be-
lieving that in using the $612.S3 John had
received all to which he was entitled.
Edwin and Lucy claim the entire sl,95o
and there is where the trouble comes IN.
In asking for a vacation of the setting
the attorney for John f. Bray said the
move was necessary, as they were having
some dispositions taken in England.

VIOLENTLY INSANE,

Sergeant Leyden and officer Steinborn
We're called out on East Park street last
night to arrest Charles Mccormick, who
is violently insane. The officers found
three men holding Mccormick in bed, and
he was giving them considerable trouble.
Mccormick Gained at the appearance of
the officers and told them he had been
assaulted by the men who were holding
him. They humOred him in this vagary,
and advised him to come up town with
them and get out warrants for his assail-
ants arrest. This suited him and he came
with the officers and accompanied them
to the county Jail without any display of
violence.
On the way to the Jail he cd tn officers
that he had been working in the mines,
but having an income of 5000 per month
had concluded to quit, and would build
several large business blocks in Butte as
soon as the season opened.
Mccormick is said to lave experienced
several attacks of insanity in the past,
not as severe, however, as this last one.
He will be held in the county Jail several
days. and unless he improves during that
time. will be sent to Warm Springs.

An Ingenious Device For TAX
ing Train Orders
is SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE
0. r. & N. New Branch From Moscow
to LeWiStOwn. Idah0--Gene-
raj Railroad News.

In a few days it will be unnecessary for
trains on the Chicago division of the Erie
road to stop for orders. By the use of a
simple little device engineers and conduc-
tors will be enabled to catch their orders
from station operators while the train is
going at full speed.
For years railroad officers have been
perpleXed for some plan by which what
are known in railway pariance as the 49,
order could be delivered without wasting
from 10 minutes to half an hour in stop
ping trains to receive the same. This or
der is what is technically known as an ex-
tending one, which means that it gives the
crew of the receiving train permission to
go farther than the original orders allow
ed to meet a train from the opposite di-
rectlon. AS the order never restricts the
movement of a train it has come to be
the practice of t%rainmen to receive it on
the fly.
The delivery of these instructions in
this manner has been accomplished in
various ways with Indifferent success.
One of the common customs has been for
the Telegraph operator to wrap the COM
munlcatiOnS around stones and throw
them into the cab and into the caboose as
the train passed the station. Sometimes
they landed all right, but oftener they
missed their mar and fell on the
ground, and the train was minus it's or
ders.
Somebody, just who nobody seems to
know. has invented a little arrangement
by which these orders can be easily and
surely delivered to the trainmen While
trains pass stations at As miles an hour.
The device consists of a light wooden
hoop about IS inches in diameter, crossed
at the ends, and made to Slip into a
handle about four feet long. The 49,
order is fastened in the hoop by a wire.
The agent holds the hoop at arms
length and as the engine passes him the
engineer runs his arm through it, takes
off his message and throws the hoop off
the train. Before the tail end of the
train has reached him the agent has at
tached the conductors order in another
hoop and delivers it to him in the same
way as he did to the engineer. The little
hoops readily slip out of the handle to
which they are attached and they are
large enough to be easily caught by the
trainmen. Each agent will be furnished
with a number of hoops SO as to provide
against an occasional loss.
Chicago officers of the Erie lines are
now sending out the new message deliv-
ererS to all stations. Heretofore for the
purpose of handling these special orders
this company has been using an elabO-
rate machine, similar to the mail crane.
These have been very expensive and no
more of them will be used. The hoop
arrangement is light and cheap.
superintendent Coe of the Erie is en-
thusiastic over the little hoop and says it
is the cleverest thing that has hit the rail-
roads in many a day..

The settings of the only two cases
Judge Clancy had docketed for trial this
morning We're vacated and the jurymen
excused until tomorrow. One of the suits
is entitled the First National Bank OF
Butte versus job E. Bray, Edwin Bray
and Lucy Bray, and was brought to de-
ter1nine the ownership of 81 1880 which
was sent to the ban by Thomas r. Evans
of San Francisco on the Goth of Septem-
her. 1897, to be distributed among the
three defendants. A question as to the
amount to which each was entitled arose,
however. and the bank instituted the suit
for the purpose of having the court de-
eide upon the respective amounts. In the
complaint the bank alleges that it is
ignorant of the amount of the respective
shares and has no means of informing
itself. and the defendants do not agree
as to their individual rights: that 1t is
ready and willing to pay the money, but
cannot do it until the court decides the
question at issue.
John E. Bray filed an answer to the
complaint. In the document he stated
that he and his father. Edwin Bray, ST.,
in February of 1888, purchased thirty
shares of stock in the Spring Valley
! Water company of California, each tax
ing an equal interest: that they pad
So. 653. so for the stock; that prior to the
purchase the money was On deposit in
the Hibernia bank of San Francisco and
stood in the name of both: that after the
stock was bought it was left with Henry
Evans, who was to represent 1t IN the col
lection of dividends; that there were at
various times certain other monies placed
in the Hibernia bank and monies drawn
out and it all belonged to father and son
alike: that in 1886 the father died, but
| prior to that time the son drew $6l2.S3
| from the bank and sent it to his father.
At another time this particular son al
leges that he drew $3.50, which made $352.S
drawn by the father in excess of the
! amount drawn by the son. The father
| was to have all the dividends on the
| stock: that While the stock was In pos
| session of Evans the son, at the request
/ of his father, sold five shares and remit
ted the proceeds to the father, who was
then in England, leaving ten shares be-
longing to the father and fifteen to the
| son: that in 1856 the son authorized Ed
win Bray, his brother, to look after the
stock during his absence and transmit
the dividends to their mother, who was
then in England: that in March, 1890, Ed
win Bray. without the knowledge or con-
sent of John, sold five shares of the stock
and converted the money to his w use,
thus reducing the total number of shares
to 20 and leaving only five shares to the
credit of the fathers estate; that since
December, 1898, Edwin Bray has, without
the knowledge or consent of John, wrong
FULLY collected and received $3.50 as divi-
dends and retained ii all: that in 1897 the
remaining 20 shares of stock We're sold il
San Francisco for $2,015, the expense OF
the sale being $50. leaving 81, $3.50; that OF
the 20 shares Is belonged to John; tina,
