SCHOOL LAW VOID.
special to the Inter Mountain.

Special to the Inter Mountain.
Helena, Mont, Oct 9.-Tha law BRO
viding for the collection Of school money
when voted at special election was de-
clared null and void to-day by the su )
preme court. The court also declared
the new road law passed by the last leg
islature all right SO far as il referred to
county surveyors losing the duties and
emoluments of general road supervisors
The law in regard to special elections
for raising money for school purposes
was declared inopera tive, in an exhaust :
i've opinion by the chief justice in the
case of Hilburn vs. the Great Northern.
The road protested against the payment
of nearly $500 special school taxes voted
in the Columbia Falls district on the
ground that the law under which tl,,
election was held was Of no effect. Hill
purn, county treasurer, commenced
suit. The road demurred. The lower
court overruled the demurrer and M 49,
peal resulted. The supreme court rt-
verses the case and orders the dem 49,,
sustained. thereby knocking out the law.
better known as sections 1910 and 1871 OF
the political code
The court finds antiquities in the
wording of the law making it meaning
less under strict construction 'rhe
effect of the decision is that any districis
in the state that have not enough money
derived from the general levy for school
purposes will not be able to raise any
funds by special levy until the l..gisla.
ture meets again and patches up the law.
County Surveyor Danyes of Granite
county, recently applied to the court for
mandate to compel the commissioners
to recognize him as general road super
visor under the act of 1897 which placed
surveyors in charge of the roads. He
contended that the action Of the last leg
islature in doing away with that office
deprived him of the rights guaranteed
under the constitution. The supreme
court does not see it in that light. hold
ing that the legislature created the office
OF road supervisor which is not mention
ed in The constitution and has the same
right when it saw fit later to do ave-.
with the office. The writ is dismissed
This is the first time the supreme court
has passed upon the much talked Of road
law.

A TRAMP BISHOP.

Hale and hearty the Right Rev. Leigh
ton Coleman bishop Of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese of Delaware, has re-
turned from his annual pedestrian tour.
says the Wilmington. Del. correspondent
in the New York sun. He tramped 220
miles along country roads, over noun
tains and through a desolate region Of
southwestern Virginia. acquiring a coat
Of sunburn on his kindly face. and losing
few mounds Of flesh from his rotund
form. He was away from Wilmington
exactly two weeks. II days Of which We're
devoid to the tramp Of 220 miles. The
greatest distance Travelled in any one das
was 80 miles: but the roads We're in no
condition to add to the pleasures of a
pedestrian tour. He did not travel on
Sundays. nor did he attend the services
in village churches, but he sought the
seclusion of the woods. where he impro-
vised an altar and said the services Of
the Protestant Episcopal church. TO
persons whom he meets ON these long
walks through the country Bishop Cole
man is only an id1er and merely Cole
man. to the chance acquaintance.
Bishop Coleman is 81 years Of age and
retains the EigOr and activity Of youth.
He attributes his remarka BILE physical
condition 10 his love for walking. Since
boyhOod he has been fond Of walking.
and With the exception Of Very few years
he has made an annual tramp ever since
1861 He estimates that he has covered
5000 miles in this manner. While out
in a blizzard several years ago he con-
tracted a cold in his left eye and lost the
sight of it as a result of his fondness for
pedeStrianiSm. When about the ordinary
duties of his diocese Bishop Coleman is
dignitied in appearance, yet democratic
in manner. He has round, smiling face
and probably is as widely known and re-
spected as any other Episcopal bishop
quaintance end With the American con-
tinent, for While attend ing the Lambeth
conference in England he tramped To
many places of interest, just TO satisfy
his fondness for walking.
When starting on his annual walk
Bishop Coleman is transformed in APP
pearance. An old linen duster, that has
cloth Of the church: rough clothing takes
the place of his usually neat attire.
heavy walking shoes encase his feet and
an old black broad biimmed hat covers
his head. An old silver watch, With
black cord instead Of a chain, that il
may not tempt thieves. and a heavy cane,
complete the equipment Of the tourist.
The bishop left Wilmington on the morn
ing Sept. last and made his way toward
the wilds of Virginia. just where he
went he will not say, as he does not care
to emha rrass those whose hospitality he
enjoyed incoSnitO.

LATE ANACONDA LOCALS

Judge Napton ruled at 1:aO o'clock this
afternoon that witness John Chadwick
in the Dotson murder case could not tes-
tify as to the conversation with Clinton
Dotson in the county Jail few days af-
ter his arrest. Chadwick, on cross ex-
animation could not testify that he had
any recollection of saying after Culli-
names dea tn that he had laid the trap and
they had bit at it meaning Dotson Per-
singer and Benson. He admitted being
arrested himself and brought to Ana
conda. The defense gave notice that
they might recall Chadwick before the
end Of the trial for the purpose of i'm
parchment. Mike Kelly was the nexr
witness. His testimony threw no more
light on the subject than Mr.. Chad
Wick's.
Deputy John Robinson. who found the
remains Of Cullinane and arrested Dot
son. is now on the stand.

Mrs. Towns ends life. 1t was a bright
and che rful picture she drew. on the
Wnole-one may command a good deal of
brightness and chearfuIness if one pos
sesses millions OF dollars-but there was
one unpleasant prognostication. This
was that if Mrs. Townsend should ever
occupy dwelling that she had never liv-
ed in before she would die within six
months after moving into it.
This prophecy struck Mrs. Townsend
as grewsome, to say the least. and up to
now she has carefully avoided all risk
or mourning the penalty suggested.
Though anxious for some time past to
move her residence to Washington and
build home here. she has been restrain
ed from the accomplishment Of this de-
sire by the Witch'S Omnous vaticination.
She had thought of buying a house. but
could find none that was large enough
or adequate in other respects for her
purposes. AT length. however. she hit
upon an ingenious method of evading the
hoodoo and getting what she wanted at
the same time. She decided to purchase
the old Hillyer mansion. on Massachu-
setts avenue. and to construct a palace
around it,
This she is doing in such manner
that while occupying the new mansion.
she will actually live in the old Hilyer
house. the skeleton of which is retained
as middle norton of the revamped
structure. Her bedroom. her dressing
room and bathroom and her houdoir viii
be in the ancient dwelling. the original
floor ioists and framework, we'll as
the roof. being kept intact. Thus the
hoodoo will be defeated. inasmuch as the
construction on which the builders are
now engaged comes under the head of
"alterations,' technically speaking. and
Mrs. Townsend may consider herself safe
against the fulfillment Of the conditional
threat recorded against her in the Book
of Fate.

FREAK PHOTOGRAPHS.

New Orleans Times Democrat: Speak
ing of freak photographs said an old
newspaper man, reminds me of a sin
gular little incident About three years
ago. if you remember, a story went the
rounds of the papers that a flying ma
chine had been seen maneuvering in the
air at a number of different places in the
middle west. Some of the reports seem
ed to be we'll authenticated, and it was
certainly strange that the same yarn
should come from so many widely Separ-
ated points. One day while the thing
was being generally talked about, GER
tain big journal received photograph
from a town in Nebraska, showing an
enormous cigar-shaped machine caught
in the top OF huge oak tree. Accord
ing to the story that accompanied the
picture the aerial naviga tors had at
tempted to land and fell foul of the oak
There was no doubt as to the genuine
ness Of the tree in the photo, and 1t was
at first thought that the machine had
been painted in which is an old trick
with pictorial takers. When an expert
was called in, however. he declared posi-
lively that the picture had not been doc
tored, and on the strength of his opinion
reproduction was printed How the
trick was done afterward leaked out. It
seems the photographer first took a pic
ture Of small rasteboard model OF a
flying machine. which was only about
a foot long. One of the beauties about
photogra ply is that you can make ev.
erything the same size. and the photo
Of the model was as big as the photo
OF the tree. The model was then c,lt OUT
OF the picture with pair of scissors and
Wasted on ton of the branches If the
oak. and new photograph was taken a:
the coordination. 1t was the most de-
centive looking job I ever laid my eyes
on"

1t is Judge Lindsay's intention 10 con-
vene his department of the district court
for the regular fall and winter term next
Saturday, but no cases will be tried until
after jury is secured, which will be a
week or ten days later. During his va

judge disposed of all the business he had
on hand when the summer adjournment
was taken, and in the meantime attended
to many other matters requiring speedy
adjustment. All of this work was per
formed in chambers as the large room
has been in the hands of decorators and
the class of artists that make new all
things they are employed to look after.
Judge Clancy has not yet fully decided
whether he will take a rest this year.
When he first took up the big mine vein
suit he figured on consuming five weeks
and then going to the mountains for a
few days in search of elk and other large
game. but the duration of the trial has
exceeded the expectations of all persons
concerned, having already covered a
period of two months. AS the time for
snow storms and cold snaps is not far
away, it is doubtful if the judge will
realize the fond anticipation in an elk
hunt this fall.
