NEXT SUNDAYS OUTINGS
Several Attractions for Butte
Pleasure Seekers.
ElKS 60 TO DEER LODGE
A Grand Time on McTague's Campus.
An Excellent Programme at
Columbia Gardens-Duck
Chasing Contest

fair day tomorrow will draw an
other big portion of Butte's population
out OF town. There are several attac-
lions. The Elks will stampede in the
direction of Deer Lodge in large droves,
there to cut up all kinds of capers on
McTague's campus. The genial Tom
will be chief herder and he has prom
ised to treat all alike, strays as well as
range stock. Elks from every part of
the state win be there.
Manager Wharton has arranged an
other programme of attractions for the
Columbia gardens patrons. There will
be another duck chasing contest on the
lake. This time it is proposed to turn
two ducks loose on the water, and the
person or persons who catch them will
be given prize. There will also be
programme similar to that which af-
forded so much amusement last Sun
day, moving pictures, aerial perform
ance, etc. The zoo is as attractive as
ever and the pansies never looked pref
tier. During the past week many kodak
pictures of the grounds have been
taken.
Colonel Hatch's new three-eighths
mile track is nearing completion, and
the horses will be galloping over it in
a very short time. "Ranchero" park
will be model little racing course and
is sure to be a drawing card.
Young Choynski. who has been in
the city some weeks, said the other day
that he was figuring on giving n series
of boxing exhibitions of a short num-
Der of rounds. 1t may be that he and
the La Fontise brothrs will give an ex-
hibition before they go East.
One of the peculiar features of the
seasons racing at st. Louis has been
the persistent bad luck of the favor
ties, and also the riding of some of the
best riders at that track on first choices
An agreeable offset has been Judge
Murphy's promptness in giving the
aforesaid riders a much needed vaca-
ton.
While Thorpe, Burns, Piggot and Jen-
kins and others of their class were rid
ing at the St Louis track there was lit
tie suspicious riding. After the crack
jockeys departed from st. Louis pub
lie attention was fastened on Conley as
sure loser on favoriteS and a likely
winner on long shots. Judge Murphy
got next" to his little game of strong
arm, and his retirement followed. He
was no sooner out of harness than Mr..
Houck became the friend of the book
makers That friendship caused Houcl1
to be ruled off the turf for life. Since
Houck's downfall George Holden has
all the hard racing luck on
well backed horses. For the last few
weeks his presence on short priced
horses has been enough to keep local
turf followers off his mounts. There

The question was repeated to him,
and Mr.. Kelly said he did not know
that the raise was made and changed
IN Its course for the reason indicated.
The witness was next questioned as
to his knowledge of the vein condi-
ton shown in a raise, or rather

1t was evidently a question that could
not be answered truthfully and at the
same favorably TO the plaintiff.

said Mr.. Kelly

asked Mr.. Patterson, repeating the
question. will you answer me?"
II don't care to-"
Mr.. Patterson appealed to the court
and Judge Clancy directed the witness
to answer.
There is" said Mr. Kelly finally.
Mr.. Patterson asked the witness an
other question on the same subject.
and Mr.. Kelly ignored it entirely and
gave no answer The question was re-
peated with the same result. Mr.. Pat
terson waited for a moment for an an
swer and then dropped the witness
with evident disgust.
Take the Witness" he said as he
abandoned the contest
IF your honor will permit me, I
would like to talk with my counsel be-
fore answering any more questions"
said Mr.. Kelly to the court.
Permission was granted and after a
short consultation between the witness
and Mr.. Hughes the latter took up the
redirect examination of the witness,
and the latter had no difficulty in an
swering all questions asked him by his
own counsel.
Austin L. Brown, a mining engineer
in the employ of the plaintiff and for
merly superintendent of the Tomboy
Gold Mining company in Colorado, the
fifth expert witness for the Montana
Ore Purchasing company, followed Mr..
Kelly. His direct examination was
conducted by John w. Cutter. The
witness seemed to be slightly confused
when he began his testimony or was
not familiar with all the lines and coll
ors on the surface maps. One of the
first questions Mr.. Cotter asked him re-
lated to the lines of the Rarus portion
of the Johnstown, and the witness
could not designate them until Mr.. Cot
ter himself pointed them out. The wit
ness then proceeded to describe the
surface indications of the Johnstown
veins and the ore connections shown
in the different workings beneath the
surface.
William Scallon cross-examined Mr..
Brown, whose testimony had not been
finished when court adjourned. The
plaintiffs attorney desired to go ahead
with the trial to-day, but the defend
ants attorneys asked that the trial be
continued until Monday. which was
done.

SEMPLE APPOINTED
Local Inspector of the State Board of
Horticulture.

Local inspector OF the State Board of
Horticulture.
Professor r. A. Cooley of the Mon
tana College of Agriculture and Me-
chanic Arts came over from Bozeman
yesterday to notify w. K. Semple of
his appointment as local inspector for
the state board of horticulture. The ap-
pointment was made by /. D. O'Don-
nell, president of the board, upon the
suggestion of Professor Cooley, who,
since his visit to Butte few days ago.
has realized the necessity of having an
inspector in Butte constantly to make
the fight against the importation of
fruit pests. Owing to his other duties,
it has been impossible for Professor
Cooley to visit Butte frequently enough
to keep track of the fruit shipped into
the state at this point.
The board is also much handicapped
in its work on account of the small
amount of funds 1t has at it's command,
but good results are expected from the
appointment of an inspector for Butte.
Mr.. Semple is deputy inspector of the
Butte Terminal associate and is in a
position to fill the duties of inspector
for the state board specially well. His
jurisdiction includes Butte and Helena,
and his duties are to inspect every car
of fruit that comes into Butte, and If
he finds any fruit infected with the
San Jose scale or Goblin moth, or the
'codling' moth, as Professor Cooley
says is the correct way of spelling it, he
will at once notify Professor Cooley
and the later will give instructions for
its disposition.
The state board of horticulture will
hold a meeting shortly to consider the
fruit and fruit-tree pest questions,
which have recently attained such
grave Importance. The regular meet
ing of the board had been scheduled
for the first Monday in September but
it is probable that a meeting will be
held sooner. One of the important mat
tiers to be considered will be the inspec-
tion and treatment Of nursery stock
brought into the state.

AN INTERESTING DAY
More Experts Testify in the
Pennsylvania Case.
WERE FOR THE PLAINTIFF
They Were Free and Ready With An
swers to All Questions-One Wit
ness Found Who Was
Very Reticeut.

The trial of the Pennsylvania mining
case was a little more interesting yes
terday than during several preceding
days. Three different expert witnesses
for the plaintiffs were on the stand
during the day, and the cross-examina-
ton of the witnesses Neill and Kelly
were concluded. The examination of
the two gentlemen was interesting by
comparison. While one witness was
free and ready with answers to all
questions, the other was often evasive
and several times refused to answer
at all until ordered to do so by the
court and counsel was finally COM
PEELED to abandon the examination.
James S. Neill was on the witness
stand when the trial was resumed, and
the cross-eXaminattion was soon con-
cluded.
Now, Mr. Neill, did you testify in
the case of Morse against the Montana
Ore Purchasing company, tried in the
federal court in March, 1882" asked
Mr.. Forbis.
'Y did"
AT that time I will ask II you did
not testify that this whole width of
country was q zone and all one vein?"
Il testified to the fact that the inter-
lacing of these assures and the miner
alization of the country constituted, in
my opinion, zone, at the same time
identified the streaks in that game
material and followed them UP the
raises and through the drifts, just as
/ have done now
Didn't you take assays and unite
this whole country that is shown in
the clear glass upon this model as one
zone by assays clear across all of
that?"
II haven't testified to that in this
case; that is. this portion east"
Didn't you testify also as to the
Pennsylvania, a unity of that also?"
Yes, my testimony was to the effect
that that was unified
by assays and samples right across
these very cross cuts?"
mot across any you have men
toned
But across others, further west?"
Both west and east of those"
Which ones are they you testified to
on this eastern part of the ground?"
Gross cuts on the 450-foot level;
nearly all of my samples were on the
450."
DO you think that that is upon vein
material from north to south, between
the faults, that the cross cuts in the
$50 running across this country is upon
vein material, on better vein material

some of them are worse, l think

WALLS TINTED.
A New Plan to Be Adopted in the Public
Schools.

Schools.
The school clerks room is in the
hands of the painters and decorators.
The walls will be tinted. This plan
was agreed upon some time ago by the
board of education, in pursuance to the
suggestion of the women's clubs of
Butte, whose hope is to see every
school room in the city tinted and dec
Grated. This idea finds favor in the
eastern schools, and recently coast
schools have adopted the idea. 1t is
agreed that tinted walls relieve the
monotony of the room and afford rest
for the childrens eyes. The women
also favor the idea of historical pic
lures in the school room. They are
opposed to bare, white walls for school
rooms.
The assembly room of the high
school will be tinted and Supernten-
dent Hendricks office will be likewise
tinted. If the plan meets with the ap-
pproval of the board of education, the
several school rooms will be tinted, and
instead of the white tints will be
spread on the walls of all the rooms
accordingly as they need repairs.

PEOPLE WITH TROUBLES
Tell Tales of Woe to the County
Attorney.
THREE COMPLAINTS FILED
Charges OF Larceny. Obtaining Money
Under False Pretenses and Third
Degree Assault Preferred by
the Authorities.

Chief Deputy County Attorney Cor
nelius Kelley listened Yesterday to the
grievances of a lot of compliments who
alleged wrong doing on the part of
other people. The sum total of results
was the filing of three criminal COM
plants, one charging a defendant with
grand larceny, one obtaining money I'M
der false pretenses and one third de-
gree assault.
Nels Kier had tale of woe to relate
relative to the deceitful conduct of one
Louis Skobach, whose countrymen
paced too much confidence in him.
hier said he and Skobach and several
otner Danes interested themselves in a
strike that is in progress in their native
country and out of sympathy for the
strikers took up collection among
thlelr countrymen to send to the strik-
ers. Skobach, as a leader among the
lanes, was Entrusted with sending the
S5i that was raised. The money was
turned over to him several days ago
and he at once disappeared Diligent
inquiry had failed to discover his
whereabouts and Kier was satisfied he
mad appropriated the money to his own
use and vamoosed. Kier said he had no
hope of capturing Skobach, but he de-
sired to have a warrant for his appre-
III the EVENT he COulQ De round.
A complaint for grand larceny was
filed in Justice Nichols court and
warrant issued.
A complaint was lodged against Alex
ander Mclaughlin by Henry Lynch,
who accuses Mclaughlin of having de-
frauded him by means of a worthless
check Lynch stated that Mclaughlin
came to his saloon in South Main street
and asked him to cash $40 check. The
check was made out in McLaughlin's
favor and was signed by his brother,
John Mclaughlin. Lynch cashed the
check and learned on presenting it to
the bank on which it was drawn that
the paper was valueless. Mr.. Kelley
granted a complaint charging Nc
Laughlin with obtaining money under
false pretenses by means of a worth
less check, a felony. The complaint
was filed in the police court and a war
rant for McLaughlin's arrest was is
sued.
The third complaint filed was against
C. w. Lesher for assault in the third
degree. on complaint of Wit j. Sellar
The latter is in the employ of Hon. r.
F. Courtney and Lesher is a miner
employed at the Brittania mine. Sellar
told Mr.. Kelley he was sent to the Brit
tania to collect a bill against -Lesher.
He had not yet seen Lesher, but stood
talking to the foreman when Lesher
came up behind and struck him a vi
cious blow, which knocked him down.
The complaint was filed with Justice
Harrington.

acted as second in any contest of note
was when he handled Denver Ed Smith
