Judge Clancy yesterday decided
motion against Receiver Kinds, prob
ably the only one on record One Sun
day few weeks ago the receiver Wis
tied some of the mines of the Boston
& Montana company and made a de-
mand on several deputy sheriffs, who
were guarding the properties, for pos
session, and two of the deputies, John
Narker and William Gundry, arrested
the receiver, Nhereupon he appealed
TO the court to punish the deputies for
contempt. An order was issued by
Judge Clancy requiring the accused to
appear and show cause why they
should not be punished. Their attOr-
neys filed a motion to QuaSh the order
on the ground that the receiver was
in the wrong when he made a demnad
for the properties on Sunday. which
was legal day. The matter was sub
mitted to the court on briefs several
days ago. Judge Clancy decided yes
terday morning that the action of the
receiver was wrong and that there
was statutory authority going to show
that. The deputy sherffs. however,
We're also in the wrong, but were not
guilty Of contempt, and the order was
therefore quashed. A similar motion in
the contempt case of W. H. De Witt,
John f. Forbis and l.. O. Evans. how
ever, was Overruled and the attorneys
will have to answer the charge of con-
tempt made by the receiver "on infor-
nation and belief" that they had adj
yised and counseed the representatives
of the Boston & Montana to resist the
receivers authority. Owing to the alb
sence of some of the attorneys the
hearing was continued until Saturday
morning.

More Variable franchises than ever
must be granted. with the inevitable
growth of n greater city. In granting
them in the future the city should see
that its rights. present and future, are
fairly and justly protected. There are
public franchises exercised In this city to-

taken in granting them, the city would
be the richer by thousands of dollars.
There are other things, as essential in
many respects, to the growth aud pros

dollars expended by the city for public
baths, would be commendable depar-
