Latest move Of the Knockers.

The board of county commissioner,
held special session Tuesday to
receive a petition signed by ]. J
Stevenson and about 100 Others from
Caldwell and vicinity, asking the
BOARD to set date for considering
the matter OF declaring in writing as
a canvassing board whether or not
the County High school proposition
was defeated at the late election.
The signers of the petition evident.
ly hope to convince the board that
the County High school did not carry,
and to have them make an official
record to that effect, thus compelling
the County High school trustees to 20
into court for the purpose OF deciding
the question OF the maintenance OF
the school.
The signers o. that petition must
take the board Of county commission
ers for set of chumps. In the first
place, the canvassing boards duties
are purely ministerial. 1t has no au.
thority to 60 behind the face of the
returns unless a contest is filed, aud
The board has no authority to declare
one way or another on any question
submitted to vote Of the people: the
returns speak for themselves. In the
second place, the petition alleges
something that is false, viz, that
the voters were not fairly dealt with
by counting the defective ballots in
favor OF the school. Attorney Jas.
Lawrence, as a tax payer, was pres
ent at the meeting and protested
against the action Of the board in
granting the request Of the petition
erS on the ground that the allegations
in the petition were false. The board
decided on next Saturday morning at
o'clock as the time for hearing the
arguments. Mr.. Adams of the firm
OF Adams & Adams, attorneys, of
Wichita, appeared before the board
today as attorney for the knockers.
So, as the matter now stands, the
board will meet next Saturday morn.
Ing to consider the request that a
declaration be entered upon the min
utes Of the board saying whether or
not the County High school was
defeated at the recent election. If
the request of the petitioners is
granted, the board will be going be-
yong its authority, If the board
makes declaration that the school
was not defeated, the knockers will
have to resort to some other
method of defeating the school.
If the board declares the school
defeated lin which event they
will have to delegate to themselves
the right to say that a defective bal.
lot is not a vote cast, it will put the
knockers on the defensive. 1t will |
then fall to the County high school
trustees to take the initiative in
:uit TO perpetuate the school.

HIS MIND UNBALANCED
Hugh Stephenson Locked Up in
the City Jail.
SAYS HE is A DETECTIVE
Letters Found Upon His Person Indi-
cate That He Came From Ogden,
Where He Was Employed
in a Bank

An individual who is believed to have
lost his proper mental equilibrium, was
locked up at the city Jail yesterday.
He gave the name of Charles Burnley,
but from papers in his possession, it
was learned his right name is Hugh
Stephenson and that he halls from Og-
den, Utah. Stephenson walked into the
city Jail yesterday about noon and an
nounced that he was private detective
from Philadelphia and that he had been
brought here by one of the big mining
companies to straighten out matters in
general. officer Cantwell happened to
be at the station on an errand, and the
pseudo detective attacked him, verbal
ly, giving him a severe arraignment for
being off his beat and threa tening to re-
port him to the chief.
1t was clear the man was wrong
mentally and he was locked up. On his
person, when searched. was found $50
in money and several letters. One was
a letter of recommendation from an
Ogden bank, showing he had been en-
ployed there as bookkeeper and ex-
pert accountant and others were letters
from local firms, indicating he had APP
piled to them for employment. He
will be held to have his mental status
inquired into.

IS A MILO SENSATION
John r. Bordeaux Brings an Ac-
ton for Divorce.
GROUNDS OF DISCRETION
Complaint Alleges That Mrs. Bordeaux
Left Her Husband on January %.
1898 = Both Parties Are
Well Known in Butte.

An action for divorce was commenc-
ed in the district court yesterday which
will create a mild sensation in GER
tain circles in Butte when the fact of
it is read in the Standard this morn
ing. The sensation will not, however,
be due to any charge contained in the
complaint, but rather because Of the
prominence of the parties and certain
other facts which are matters of gen.
eral knowledge.
The plaintiff is John R. Bordeaux, the
well known capitalist, speculator and
mining man, and the defendant is his
young wife, Ella f. Bordeaux, daugh-
ter of A. E. briggs, the real estate
man. The complaint in the case, which
was suppressed and kept from the pub
lie out Of consideration for the feel
ings of Mr.. Bordeaux, who is very SEN
sitive about the matter, is very brief.
IT alleges their marriage in Butte on
June 2, 1883, and charges that the de-
PENDANT wilfully and without cause
and against the wish and consent of
the plaintiff, deserted him on the 23d
of January, 1898, and has ever since
lived separate and apart from him.
John B. McClernan and Stapleton &
Stapleton are attorneys for Mr.. Bor-
deauX.
The defendant in the case, as stated
in the complaint, left her husband and
her home on the 23d of January, year
ago, under circumstances that created
no end of gossip and a sensation among
large number of acquaintance of
Mr. and Mrs. Bordeaux. A very jeal-
Gus husband a gun and several other
things figured in the matter, and both
parties had their friends who sided
with one or the other. Two days later
Mrs. Bordeaux left the city and it was
claimed for her that she was a much
abused and badly used wife, and would
never return to her husband and
home. She has kept her word. 1t was
understood that she had gone to Cal
ifornia, but copy of the complaint
and the summons in the divorce suit
We're yesterday mailed to her at Salt
Lake, which fact would indicate that
she is living in that city, where she
has friends and relatives. The parties
have no children. Mr. Bordeaux has
a large amount Of valuable property in
Butte, and he is estimated to be worth
at least several hundred thousand dol
lars. Whether Mrs. Bordeaux will re-
sist his suit for divorce or make an
effort to get her share of his wealth is
not yet known. 1t was estimated yes
terday that she would probably not
oppose the suit. and that likely they
would reach a money settlement be-
tween themselves.

MALTREATED HIM.
Death of Benjamin Salad Directly Trace
able to Two Dishonest Partners

Death of Benjamin Salad Directly Trace
able to Two Dishonest Partners.
Something more was learned yester-
day of the suicide of Benjamin Salad,
whose dead body was found several
days ago in his cabin at Elk Park and
brought to Butte Wednesday for inter
ment. It appears the unfortunate man
was the victim Of a business engage
ment, in which his partners turned out
dishonest and beat him out of his
money; maltreated him SO outrageously
that he never fully recovered from The
effects of the experience, and that his
death was directly traceable to these
facts.
Mrs. Salad, the wife of the deceased,
came to Butte yesterday, and is the
guest of her old friend Mrs. r. Cam
PAM, in West Park street. From Mrs
Salad it was learned yesterday that
her husband was a native of Switzer-
land, where they were married. Salad
came to America about 20 years ago to
seek a fortune. By hard toll and by
frugal habits he succeeded in laying by
$l,500 after some years of earnest labor
Then he felt safe in sending for his
family in Switzerland. In due time Mrs
Salad arrived in America and husband
and wife were happily reunited. 1t
was long after Mrs. Saladi's coming
that her husband engaged in the un-
fortunate business venture which the
widow believes was the cause of his
self-destruction. He entered into part
nership with two men whose only pur-
pose, Mrs. Salad charges. was to do
him out of his savings. By various I'M
derhand dealings, she says, they accom-
plished their purpose, and something
like a year ago Salad found himself
penniess and deeply involved. His dis
honest partners having no further use
for him, instigated quarrel which Gull
minated in both setting upon him and
mauling him nearly to death. They left
him insensible in his cabin at Elk Park
and for eight days he lay helpless and
alone. In the assault he received
blow on the head which afterward aD-
peared to have affected his mind, and
with the loss of his money and other
troubles coming on, changed him COM
pletely He brooded over his difficulties
and grew morose and melancholy.
When, few weeks ago, he was compell-
ed to meet another debt saddled on him
by his former partners, he felt it was
the last straw. When Mrs. Salad next
saw him after this he was dead. The
sorrowing widow said She had no doubt
her husband killed himself because of
his misfortunes. Mrs. Salad is left in
destitute circumstances and is being
cared for by her friends. The funeral
will take place this afternoon from
Richards undertaking rooms
