Leipe Trespass Suit.

A case of particular interest to rail-
road men was decided in Wayne county
last week. William Leipe, a brakeman
on the Erie, was killed by being thrown
beneath the train from a foreign car
on which was an adjustable brake OF
a design that Leipe was. unacquainted
with. 1t appears that he went to sit
on the brakewheel and 1t being adjust
able, descended with his weight and
caused him to lose his balance.
The heirs sued for $4,000 damages,
alleging that the brake was of an OBJ
solete pattern and that the company
should have instructed Leipe in its use.
The company alleged that the brake
was of common pattern and that, at
all events, Leipe lost his life in putting
the brake to a use for which 1t was
never intended, namely. seat. Judge
Purdy granted a compulsory non-suit.
Kimball & Mccarthy represented the
plaintiffs. The defendant companys
counsel We're Major Everett Warren
and Hon. c. p. O'Malley, of Willard,
Warren & Knapp, and Homer Green,
of Honesdale.

lowing. The office Of the pension de-
partment will be in the Broad Street
station.
Pensions will be allowed upon the
following basis: For each year of SER
vice l per cent. of the average regular
monthly pay for the ten years preced-
ing retirement. Thus, If an employe
has been in the service of the company
for forty years and has received on
an average for the last ten years $40
per month in regular wages, his PEN
sion allowance would be 40 per cent. of
$40. or SIG per month. The beneficiary
may engage in any other business, but
cannot re-enter the service of the COM
pany.
In addition to the pension allow
ance, which is entirely gratuity from
the company, the employees relieved
from the service on account of age
limit, who are members of the relief
fund, will also receive from the income
of the surplus fund accumulated DUR
ing the past fourteen years an addi-
tional allowance each month.

And word about the "rlng" that they
claim overthrow organization. For three
years not one of the "Bellgerents" ever
held an official position In school or In
any way connected with 1t. The foot ball
team, the champions of the county, was
not composed of "Belligerents." The ath-
letic association is not dominated by
them. The opera club that gave two
highly commendable performances dur
ing the past two years was not controlled
or Influenced in any manner by this
crowd of "grumblers."
Successful? Well you can rest assured
that anything the so-called ring" had
in charge in the Scranton high school
prospered and flourlshed and any move
ment that was not endorsed or handled
by this powerful ring failed dismally.
Every, good movement in the school is
fostered and promoted industriously by
the ring" For maintaining good order
and proper decorum in the school the
'ring" bears the palm. Every thing that
is antagonistic to good conduct, proper
behavior and tbe enforcement of dis
ciplne, can be attributed to those who
oppose the ring"
The "ring" is composed of all the sensi-
BILE, unselhsh and refined male and fe-
male students of the school. The ring"
Is the majority by over seven hundred
The balance disgruntled "Belligerents."
The ring" obeys the mandates of su-
perior officers. The members of the
ring" do not stamp their feet in the
auditorium or hiss when a preceptor
arises to speak. The members of the
ring arc in accord with the teachers,
obedent and respectful to the principal
ard loyal to the superintendent and board
of control
Place me, o place me in the dusty ring
Where youthful charioteers contend for
honor"

The Verdict in the DOtSOn Muir
der Case.
NINETY NINE YEARS TERM
In the Penitentiary Awaits Him.
Benson Pleaded Guilty to Man
Slaughter--GOt Ten Years.

Clinton Dotson, charged with the MUIR
der of Eugene Cullinane at American
gulch on or about Aug. 5 of this year,
was found guilty by the jury, who fixed
his sentence at SO years in the ~peniten-
tiary. The jury received their charge
from the court yesterday afternoon at
5:l5 and returned a verdict at $50 o.. IN.
The verdict read:
state of Montana VS.. Clinton Dotson.
We, the jury impaneled in the above
cause, find the above named defendant,
Clinton Dotson, guilty Of murder in the
second degree. and fix his punishment at
Imprisonment in the state prison for 80
years"
At the opening of court this morning,
the time set for the trial of Oliver Ben
SON, also charged with murder in the first
degree as being an accomplish with Gin
ton DotsOn in the murder of Eugene
Cullinane, County Attorney j. H. Duffy
made a motion that the defendant Benson
be allowed to change his plea of not
guilty of murder in the first degree 10
guilty of ~manslaughter. Mr.. Duffy said
the court was furnished with all the par
ticulars of the case and it was therefore
needless for him to rehearse the case.
The change now being asked for would
save the county an expense
and the ends of justice would be we'll
served by the punishment the young man
would receive by pleading guilty to mar
slaughter.
Attorney c. j. Walsh, counsel for Ben
son. waived the statutory time to plead
and the prisoner was ordered to stand
up. His counsel. Mr.. Walsh. pleaded for
leniency on the grounds of the mans
age. He was a young man and the
stronger minds of the perpetrators of the
crime. if they were the parties who COM
mitted it. had swayed him into wrong.
None of the testimony in the trial of
Dotson had proven that the defendant
had any other part than conspiracy to
commit larceny. A light sentence would
be sufficient to warn him to be careful in
the future.
The court thereupon fixed the prison.
er's sentence at 10 years at hard labor in
the penitentiary at Deer Lodge.
Benson, the prisoner, has grown more
t1eshy since his arrest and imprisonment
in the county Jail. He was dressed in q
new black suit OF clothes and wore white
linen and black bow tie. His grand
father, Captain Oliver Dotson. was pres
ent in court when sentence was passed.
The SO years sentence will be formally
passed upon Clinton Dotson at 9 p. m.
He is an uncle of young Benson. The

with murder in the first degree for the
same crime, was continued until Nov. II

To all appearances winter has arrived
10 remain intact until next spring. SNOW
has been falling for the past three DAYS
throughout this part of the state and is
reported general all over the state. there
being more snow east of the range than
on the west side. The Thermometer has
gone far below the freezing point. being
identical With typical December weather
in Montana. There never was a time in
the history of Deer Lodge county that
winter to come. because not una-ten1h OF
the potato crop has been dug and field
after field of alfalfa and Clover ,cmains
unharvested
The ranchcrs can sustain the loss of
the alfalfa crop without a great financial
loss, bat to have winter cone now, which
looks more than probable, will cause IA
loss of nc less than $25,0 900 to the ranchers
in this county alone. without speaking Of
the unharvested crop all over Montana.
The spring and early summer We're very
backward, ca,oing a slow growth of veg
etablcs. The hay and grain harvest was
late, thus making the ranchers late in
digging their potatoes. few of them ever
dreaming such weather would come as
early as Oct. 8, the date on which the
storm commenced.
Old timers says that or Oct. 10, 1883. a
similar storm struck Montana and there
was real winter from hat time forward
until the next spring. The condition of
the ranchers is not encouraging. This
loss means ~hardships on the consumers.
who may find eating potatoes a luxury
before the winter is over.
