agitating the people of Santiago just
now rather unreasonably. The plan
will be fair and just to all interests.

Demand Annexation,

New York, Feb. "a dispatch to the
World from Havana says: A committee
of Spaniards in Havana have issued a
strong appeal to their compatriots
throughout the island to unite for the
purpose of bringing about the annexation
of Cuba to the United States. The appeal
repudiates any desire on the part of the
spaniards in the island to join the pro-
posed new independent party now in pro-
cess of organization by Joaquin Castillo.
1t states that 100000 spaniards are ready
to vote for annexation, and this number
would be largely augmented by Cubans
OF wealthy position and influence who do
not wish to see the revolutionary party in
the ascendancy. The committee believed
that If vote were to be taken on this
proposition the result would be decidedly
in favor of union with America if the
negro element in the eastern districts
were allowed free action. They at least
think the United States shouiu retain
control for considerable period. Many
capitalists here interested in the island
concur in the view.

Blizzard Is Over.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 3.-The blizzard
seems to have spent itself in Wyoming
and II is thought the worst is over. No
idea of the probable loss to stock on the
ranges can yet be given, but it is the
opinion of the best informed stock men
that the losses will be found to be great.
No wind of sufficient power to blow the
deep SHOWS off the feeding grounds has
prevailed, and as a consequence it is ar
gued that the losses will be found to be
great. Cattle which have not been driven
to cover and fed are bound to have per-
ished in great numbers. For the stock
which has been uncared for and which
has survived the Unprecedented snow and
cold, little hope is held out. The Union
Pacific has been quite successful in keep
ing its track clear through this division
and, although freight traffic has been
practically abandoned, the passenger
trains have been but little deplayed.

He Is Minus a Wife,

Great Falls, Feb. "a. L. Sherer en-
ployed at the Boston & Montana smell

is the story told in regard to the sub
ject: About year ago the husband
sold some horses, receiving for them
the sum of $1,000; the wife insisted on
taking care of $500 of the proceeds and
the husband blew in the other $500. The
husband, SO the story goes, has been
trying for the past three weeks to get
the balance of the amount from his wife,
but she steadfastly refused to let him
have it, and day before yesterday
bought a ticket for st. Louis, as re-
lated. When the ticket was bought the
husband was away from home, but his
brother was on watch and notified the
absent spouse, who, however. did not
arrive until too late to stop the flight
Both parties have had their affairs in
the hands of their respective ATTORNEYS

THE NEIHART FIGHT.
Another Story of the Mix-Up in the
Saloon.

Another Story of the Mix-Up in the
Great Falls. Feb. 3--Another story of
the Neihart fight is learned from the
witnesses, according to Attorney CORN
ley. 1t seems that when Smith went
into McLaughin's saloon on Saturday
last he had a friend with him. Their
story is that after some words, Nc
Laughlin went out and came back with
a stick with which he hit Smith on the
left side of the head, making an ugly
wound. One other witness, Jack Wilson,
testified that Smith picked up a bottle
and tried to hit Mclaughlin with it be-
fore Mclaughlin hit him with the club.
AS there were other witnesses who We're
present at the time of row, but had
not been subpoenaed, County Attorney
Gormley advised Justice Abbott to con-
tinue the case until these witnesses
could be brought in, which was accord
ingly done.
In regard to the other two men, when
Smith went into the saloon where they
We're he grabbed Ledbetter and
slammed him up against the wall A
poker was knocked down in the scuf1ie
and Ledbetter picked it up to defend
himself, striking Smith with the handle
and cutting quite a cash in his face.
Lycett was trying to patch up a peace
and got arrested in consequence. These
latter two were discharged.

A SINGING colo DAY
Tho Mercury Didn't Get Far
Away From Thirty Below.
IT'S ROUGH ON TRANSFERS
Both Men and Horses Suffered From
the Intense Cold Some of the
Schools Closed-Cattle Have
Not Stuff ared.

Yesterday was another singing cold
DAY, the mercury early in the morning
standing at the % below mark and in
the middle of the day at the 16 notch
After that it began to descend until it
reached it's favorite holdout, 80. If it
persists in remaining down 1t will very
likely be counted out. The day was
was not ruffie in the atmosphere, no
wind; none was required. It was too
cold for the smoke which shot out Of
the stacks and went straight up and
out of sight.
Fat Jack, the pioneer hackman, adj
n1itted yesterday that this is one of the
real cold snaps which he has encoun-
tered in his years of ACTIVITY in Butte.
There might have been others just as
bad" said he, "but I don't think that
any of them were any more intense
than this. This is a slayer and no
JOSH"
Transfers say that this is as severe
as any weather they ever felt any
where. Woodhaulers from the outlying
districts are the heaviest physical suf-
ferers. Their lot is indeed hard one.
One of them said yesterday that he had
come in from near Blacktail and had
to stop at four different houses to thaw
out; that his horses seemed to actually
suffer while coming across the fiat.
There was no wind but a wave of
damp atmosphere swept the prairie
which was almost unbearable. He felt
that when he reached South Butte he
had come into Japan current, so
great was the change, and yet at South
Butte at that hour the thermometer
was 20 below. The difference, or rather
apparent difference in temperature was
caused by the change from the current
of air up the creek to the frozen still
ness which characterzes the air in the
city. The teamster said that while he
stopped on the fiat he heard distinctly
the cringing of wagon wheels up in the
city two miles distant. He had lived
in Wisconsin and said that the air on
the flat was similar to that in that
state, damp and piercing.
The schools of the city have not been
closed on account of the intensity of
the cold as is the case in some cities
of the state, but some Of the primary
grades were dismissed yesterday and
the day before. 1t was really danger
Gus to send very small children any
distance to school.
The stock in Deer Lodge valley has
not suffered materially, as the ranchers
have made ample provision to feed
their stock during the winter months

the cold continues much longer

THE DISTRICT COURT.



Company and o. +. Wadsworth.
Great Falls, Feb. 3.-Quite a little
business was transacted in the district
court to-day in the way of filing suits.
G. G. Proctor, sheriff of the county,
brought suit, through his attorney,
Douglas Martin, against o. r. Wads-
worth, jr., the Bateman-Switzer COM
pany and the Realty company to inter-
plead and litigate their claims. The
complaint sets up the fact that the
plaintiff is the sheriff of the county and
has been such since Jan. l, 1897 On
Dec. II. 1885, there was placed in his
hands an execution in the case of Ern-
est Schiller VS.. NJ. ]. Place of the Bris-
ltol restaurant and bar room. It was for
the sum of s404.49. Later an execution
came to him in the case of the Realty
company VS.. M. j. Place and Maurice
Levin for s36650. Then Schiller as
signed his judgment to the Bateman-
Switzer company and the attorney of
this corporation filed a praecipe with
the sheriff directing him to sell the per-
sonal property Of M. j. Place and Salty
their judgment. Wadsworth also filed
a praecipe ordering sale in the inter
est OF the Realty company, which he
represented as agent. The sale was
made and the property bought by
Wadsw orth. and d. F. Bateman for
4ou0 -tWaQSWOftns demanded that the
claim of the Realty company for $3.50
for storage and care Of the property
be satisfied by the sheriff and the bal
ance of the purchase price be applied
to the payment of a mortgage given by
Place and Levin to William Silverman
for 1874 and later transferred to the
Realty company. The Bateman- Switzer
company disputes these claims and for
that reason the sheriff asks the different
parties to come into court and fight the
matter out. The next case filed is that
of frankie Anderson against Frank
A. Merrill, the public administrator.
The plaintiff claims to be the owner of
various articles of lewarly in the Tos-
session of the dercciant and demands
the return of the property or $3.50 dam
ages. The property in question was sur
posed to belong to the estate of The late
Maggie Hines and under this SUPPOSE
ton came into the hands OF he rublic
administrator.

The greatest danger from la grippe is
of its resulting in pneumonia. If rea-
sonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe we have yet to
learn. of a single case having resulted
in pneumonia, which shows conclusive
ly that this remedy is a certain pre-
venttve of that dangerous disease 1t
will cure la grippe in less time than any
other treatment. 1t is pleasant and safe
to take. For sale by druggists.
