A Whitehall paper says: Every year
cattle die in what is called the Bone Ba-
sin just across the river near the May
flower district, from a noxious weed, and
SO far this paper has not been informed
whether or not anyone knows to a GER
tainty what the poison is. The theory is
that the roots of the poisonous plant do
the killing, az it only occurs when the
ground is very wet, n stockmen say it
is shown by the further fact that horses
are not affected by it. We ave an agri-
cultural school at Bozeman with a corps
of very efficient scientists, and we believe
that the management of that college
would never be doing the state a greater
service than to find the exact nature of
the plants that are killing cattle and to
suggest means for the eradication of the
same. This is written upon the SUPPOSE
ton that the matter has been the subject
of scientific research. If this view is COR
rect it is suggested that the stockmen
take the matter up with the Bozeman COL
lege folks.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF

Of the burning Of the old Algonquin
mill near Hasmark, which occurred a
week ago the P%hilipsburg Mail says: The
property was owned by the Hope Mining
property and is a total loss, with no in
surance. The Algonquin mill and hoist
ing works were built during the fall and
winter of 1880, and the mill was first
started up in February, 1880, Mr.. John
Ainsley being master mechanic and chief
engineer. 1t originally consisted of20
stamps, dry crushing; six amalgating
pans, three settlers, and one revolving
cylinder rooster, and had an engine of $50
horse power. When started the Algon-
quin was the model mill in Montana. The
cost of the mill was about $50, 900 and the
hosting works about SIS, 1000, as every
thing had to be f%reighted in and wages
We're high at that time. About SIS men
were employed by the company, which
was originally organized in 1875. The Of
ficers of the company at the time the
works were built were H. A. Stiles, pres
ident; J. H. Williams, vice-president; j.
X. Pardec, superintendent and general
manager; H. S Showers, assistant super
intendent. Mr.. Hopkins was foreman of
the mill and II. X. Fairgrieve the book
keeper. About 1000 tons of ore were
crushed during the year 1880 and the
mill was kept running at intervals until
December, 1883, when it closed down. Dur
ing the year 1892 Mr.. John Mckechney,
then operating the Puritan mine, procur-
ed possession of the property and set
about putting it in thorough repair. When
the panic overlook the country in 1898
the Algonquin mill, together with the
Puritan mine, were among the Granite
county enterprises that suspended opera
tons and since that time the property has
remained closed down.. About two years
ago it was sold under execution and own
ership passed to the Hope Mining conn
pany

Business is Acculnu-
lating Rapidly.
WILL SOON BE ATTACKED
By the Court and County Attorney
Ryan May Plead Guilty 10
Highway Robbery.

AS soon as the jury commissioners
finish the work of, selecting the names OF
property holders for jury duty in the dis
trict court, Judge Clancy will make an
order for the capture of at least Is or 100
of the new men, and begin the trial of
criminal cases when the return is made.
One case has been set for the 23d, which
would indicate that active operations will
begin about that time.
In all probability John Ryan, who
stands charged with highway robbery,
will plead guilty in order to save him
self as much as possible from a long term
in the p~enitentiary. In November of 1888
he was sent up for ten years from Lewis
and Clarke county, and served his term.
The crime for which he was then convict
ed was also highway robbery. w. J.
Lloyd, the man he held up in this city
last month, has placed in the hands of the
county attorney the details of his en-
counter with Ryan and his alleged part
ner, w. G. Bell. He says the men made
no attempt to conceal their identity and
he therefore knows he is not mistaken in
them.
While in the court room Saturday
morning, Ryan eyed every person, chang
ing his stare from one to another. He
seemed to be engaged in an attempt to
see through them all in turn. After ad-
~journment, County Attorney Connolly
asked him him if he had not been sent
to prison from Helena for ten years. A
first he said he had not, but afterwards
answered the question in the affirma :
tive.

The Will OF George w. Cottrell.

Judge VIM. P. Whitehouse of the Supreme
Court held hearing in this city Feb 4th on
an appeal from the decision of the Judge of
Probate of Waldo county, in approving
the will of the late George W. Cottrell of
this city. The will is dated Aug. 2S, 1898,
and after giving five dollars to each of the
testator's sons, bequeaths all the property,
real and personal, to his wife. Mr.. Cottrell
died Ang. 31st. Two of the sons, George
Porter Cottrell and Judson E. Cottrell con-
test the will, claiming that their father was
not competent on account of his feeble con.
dition, (hs mind being weak as we'll as his
body to comprehend the meaning of the
will. They also raise some technical obiec-
tions, as the signing of the will by Mr. Cottrell,
or by Judge johnson for him and to the sig
natures of the witnesses. Amelia j. Cottrell,
the widow, who is the eXecutrix named in
the will, and the other sons, Chester W. and
Robert Emery Cottrell contend that Mr.
Cottrell fully understood what he was sign
ing, and that the will was in accordance
with his previously expressed wishes. They
hold that the proceedings We're all regular,
and that the will should stand. Mrs Cot.
trell explained when op the witness stand
that Mr.. Cottrell had helped his three sons
Porter, Judson and Chester, during his life
time, to about S., 600 each, which he consid-
cred as their just share The evidence
showed that he did buy and stock a farm
for Porter, and has paid bills for him from
time to time. Porter has lived on the place
about seven years, but the title to it is in
Geo. W. Cottrel's name, hence it is a part
of the estate disposed of by the will Mr.
Cottrell furnished the capital to start Jud-
son in the clothing manufacturing business,
but the firm failed. The store which was
bought for the purpose is now part of the
estate. Chester was assisted in establishing
business in Newburyport, Mass Mrs
Cottrell estimated, when nterrogated on
the witness stand, that the real estate left
by her husband was worth about 81 600 and
she enumerated personal property in bank
stock, savings bank deposits, etc, aggregat-
ing about $4,000
Considerable evidence was introduced to
show Mr.. Cottrell's condition. His death
| was caused by bladder trouble which was
the use of morphine and belIadonna suppos
itores. DR.. Ham was the attending physi-
clan, and on Saturday, Aug 27th he called
DIR. Flanders for consultation. The two
made daily visits as long as the patient
| lived. They testified that he lay upon his
bed, his eyes closed most of the time; that
he answered intelligently the questions ask
ed him, but refused to take the food they
prepared for him. The will was made IN
the afternoon Of the day following DR.. Flan-
ders' first visit, and the patient died We'd
nesday morning
W. II. Mcclellan, ESQ appeared for the
appellants and IL, f. Dunton, Esq, for the
executrix. The case was opened al 10 a. IN.
and closed in season for Judge Whtehouse
and his stenographer, Mr.. Small, to take the
$50 train for Augusta. The Judge reserved
his decision, which is TO be announced soon.
