PROBABLY LARKSPUR.
To the Inter Mountain:

To the Inter Mountain:
noticed an item in the Inter Mountain
recently stating that large numbers OF
cattle die every year in Bone Basin, near
the Mayflower district, from eating some
poisonous plant Without doubt the plant
is larkspur. The tops of this plant are
harmless but the roots are poisonous. I
have seen this tested by cutting off the
tops and feeding them to a cow wlthous
any i'll results, but when the roots were
fed to the animal the result was fatal to
the cow. I rode the range for many years
and know that larkspur is poisonous. 1t
is just as much so here in Centennial val
ley as it is in jefferson valley. but here 1t
grows a great deal ranker. 1 have seen it
four feet high in this neighborhood.

Mrs. Michael Haggerty called at the
county attorneys office this morning and
asked to see Capt. Stivers, the chief dep
uty, to quote her a line or two of law on
the result of self-protection. She said she
lived in Centervlle and her husband had
threatened to kill her. On one occasion
he had compelled her to seek safety from
the blade of a razor and had been guilty
of other acts calculated to impress upon
her the necessity of looking out for her.
self. On being told that the best thing
she could do would be to have him arrest
ed and bound over to keep the peace, she
said such a course would do no good as
he cared nothing for his own life. He
had, she added, threatened to kill her If
she returned home. Although she did not
come out broadcast with the question, she
desired to know what would be done with
her in case he attempted to kill her and
she reversed it by protecting herself. She
was given to understand that such a
course if pursued strictly in accordance
with the statute provisions relating to
selfdefense would be tolerated, where
upon she exclaimed: '"That is all I want
to know" and left.
She was accompanied by a man who she
said was her cousin.

brought suit in the district court today
against the Butte Butchering company
to recover judgment for $1,960 damages
and rents alleged to be due by reason of
the use and retention by the defendant,
of the Jim Kane quartz claim. There are
three causes of action in the complaint.
In the first plaintiffs allege that they own
the property; that on January 1, 1891, the
defendant took possession of it and has
been holding it ever since, to plaintiffs
damage in the sum of $500; that the use
of the ground is reasonably worth $40 per
month, making total rental Of $3.50; and
that by reason of the fact that the de-
fendant has dumped decomposed and
putrid matter and offal from it's slaughter
house on the ground and kept swine feed
ing there they have been damaged $500
more making a grand total Of $1,960.

Harry Symons has filed an answer to
the $4,000 damage suit brought against
him by Mrs. Rachael Brown few weeks
ago. In the complaint Mrs. Brown al
legged that Symons had broadly intimated
that she was a thief and thus ruined her
good name. In the answer Symons denies
that at the time of the commission of the
alleged offense Mrs. Brown sustained
good name and character for moral worth
among her neighborS and acquaintanceS
or that she had never been suspected of
the commission of crime or theft; denies
that on the 18th of November, 1898, while
she was in the Symons dry goods house
that he took her by the shoulder and ask
ed her if she had come for the purpose
of paying for the goods her little girl had
stolen from the store: denies that the
plaintiff asked him not to speak so loud
because of the presence of other people
or that he said he did not care what the
people thought or that he supposed she
had come there to steal; denies that he
led her to the front door and put her out
or that he told her he did not want her
trade and that she should keep away from
the store The defendant says the facts
are that a lot of goods had been stolen
from the store and Mrs. Browns children
had been suspected of having taken them
to their house, and with the knowledge
of this fact the plaintiff was, on the date
named, lettering about the counters of
the store and he was watching her; that
he believed she had no proper business
there not intending to purchase goods
and her conduct justified him in request
ing her to leave the place. He alleges
that he did so in a quiet and polite man
ner, whereupon she moved toward the
door and then spoke to him in a loud and
boisterous tone to attract the attention of
persons present and endeavored to make

To personal property owners
who have paid their taxes when
due, however, it would appear
that the board or authoritative
officials had gwen both the sheep
and the goats ample opportu
nifty, and the query is raised as
to why these executions should
not have been issued from year
to year during the time covered
by the present proposed action.
Why should leniency be extend.

been so literally extended in

IT SOUNDS WELL.
Col. E. G. Gridley. through
whose efforts to secure a reduce
ton of rail rates on ore is
charged with having defeated
the pig iron bounty bill, has ex-
pressed himself as favoriug a
bounty and states that he is
ready and anxious to do what he
can 10 aid the passage of such a
bill. Col. Gridley further says:
"Many of the friends of the
bounty bill have lost all power
in its support by trying 10 defend
the freights rates, while asking
the state to vote the bounty.
Their efforts in that behalf and
the publication in the News
Tribune have placed the matter
where the bill can only be put
through by the Duluth delega-
ton or some Of them at least ar.
raging themselves on the part of
the people and the educational
interests of the state against
these exorbitant freight charges.
I would like to ask those who
criticise my action a question::
Some years ago helped to pay
a bonus of l25,0O0 cash, be
sides land for the plant toward
building the Ironton Structural
Steel plant. That plant has oeen
completed and ready to be oper-
ated for a long time. My ques-
ton is why has it not been oper-
ated? I suggest as a proper
answer to my own question, that
as long as the profit in Mime
sota's iron ore is in Transporting
it, it will not be manufactured
within the state. The two COM
panies have prevented it from
being manufactured IN the state
so far and will continue to do SO
until the rate is forced down to
legitimate figures If you charge
the defeat of the pig iron bounty
bill to those two companies, you
will make no mistake. / would
say to those who s>criticise my
action that you cannot at the
same time serve both God and:
mammon. You can serve either:
the two companies or you can
serve the people Of the city and
state. I have chosen and l think
that I am with the power that
will win out in the peoples IT,:
terests and will viudicate their
rights" -.
