CASE COMPROMISED.
CouItney's Property Had Been Damaged
by the Change of the Grade.

by the Change of the Grade.
Some weeks ago William Courtney,
who lives on the main road between
Butte and Centerville, brought suit for
damages against the county, claiming
to have been damaged by reason of the
change of grade of the road. AS he
clearly had been damaged, the suit was
compromised by the payment to Court
ney of $500 and the case was dismissed.
Yesterday the force of men employed
by the county, under the supervision OF
County Surveyor Pennington, began
the work of grading and leveling the
street in front of Courtney's house.
Courtney took the war path and at first
saluted the workmen with volleys of
Stag and rocks. About 1 o'clock he evil
IDENTIFY resolved on more heroic meas
ures, and issued forth from his place
armed with short billy of iron. The
first man Courtney encountered, it is
alleged, was William CARMEL and he
proceeded to DeWeyize the latter in
short order and then executed a flank
movement towards home. Several peo-
pie witnessed the assault and CARMEL
was assisted to the county attorneys
office, where he swore to a, complaint
charging Courtney with second degree
assault and the complaint was filed in
Justice Smiths court in South Butte
and a warrant of arrest issued.
Carnell's head and face were in a
badly battered condition when he APP
peared at the court house and he looked
as though he had run into Kansas
cyclone on its busy day.

AN IDEAL CIRCUS DAY
The Greatest Show Ever Pre-
scented in Butte.
EVERY PROMISE WAS KEPT
Ringling Bros. Were True to Every
Word Of Their Advertising - A
Stupendous Aggregation of
Talent and Wonders

Butte has had circus days before, but
none that equaled or approached yes
terday. The Ringing Bros. kept all
their promises and presented the great
est tent show that has ever come to
Montana. From the street parade to
the last act of the concert following
the big show it excelled in every fea-
ture For the first time in the history
of circuses in Butte everything that
was pictured in the liberal advertising
done in advance had place some
where in the show. The imagery of the
picturings on the bill boards, some of
them seemingly so fanciful as to be
impossible of accomplishment, We're all
reproduced in the actual. No
circus ever travelled that did not adver-
tise elephants standing on their heads
or daring aerialists standing erect in a
flying trapeze with nothing to stay
them from falling but their own agility
in balancing, but there are few cir
cuses where either is ever actually
seen. They were seen at the Ringing
circus yesterday, and the same thing
was true of every other advance prom
Use. They were all fulfilled with fidel-
ity to the promises made that was as
pleasing as it is unusual in circuses.
The show is a stupendous aggrega-
ton of talent and wonders, natural and
achieved. There may be greater ones,
but they have never come to Butte, and
it pleased and delighted tremendous
multitude of people.
The day was the ideal circus day.
barring a little too much wind in the
afternoon, but the people of Butte
know what to expect from the wind,
and they were less annoyed by 1t than
the circus people themselves, so the
wind did not signify, and the day must
be accounted an ideal circus day for
this locality. 1t broke bright clear and
warm in the morning, a fact for which
the show people are indebted to the
weather man, for there was nothing to
keep the country folk from coming to
town, and they came
BY o'clock in the morning the
streets commenced to bear evidence of
what the day would bring forth in the
shape of a crowd. They came from
many miles around and they made 1T
manifest by their early arrival that
they had come to see it all. An hour

IN BOULDER,
Cheerful News--The Old Mollie NIcGregor
Has Been bonded,

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Boulder. June 2S-The cheerful news Is
received here that the old Mollie McGregor
mine has been bonded and will be oper-
ated again probably on large scale. The
owners are John II. Curtis of Butte, and
A. G. Clark, of Helena, and they have
given lease and bond on the property
at valuation of sl50.00O, with a % per
cent royalty to Messrs. Mitchell and
Schafer, of Butte mine is about
four miles northwest of Boulder in what
is known as the Boomerang district, near
Comet and if operated will do much to-
word bringing renewed prosperity to this
locality. Particularly will this be true
if work is also begun at the Comet mine
as a present promised by Sam. Hauser.
The Molie was a producer years ago-in
fact, was the first mine to supply ore for
the first smelter in this section, the one
at Clancy. AS to the Comet and Alta. it
is quite generally believed that the Hell
ena Mining & Reduction company has
money on hand for the further exploration
of these properties. and that a large num-
Der of men will be at work soon Jeffer-
son is now and will probably continue to
be one of the very best mining counties
in the state.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
James Sloan Accused of Not Caring for
His Children.

James Sloan, a miner living on East
Quartz street, according to his wife's
story, evidently did not know that there
is a state law making it a misdemeanor
for parent to wilfully neglect to fur
nish his minor children with necessary
food and clothing. AT least his wife,
Margaret, says that he has failed for
a long time to provide any food or
clothing for his five minor children and
that they were in very distressing cir
cumstances. She says that he has been
going under the name of James Sloan
since he came to Butte and that he has
refused to live with or support his FAM
lily. A complaint embodying the essen
tial facts in the case was drawn up
and filed in Judge Smiths court in
South Butte and Sloan's arrest ordered.

A MODERN

1t comes in the letter of a girl to her
family. She is engaged in making a
stage career n tells this among the
variegated experiences IN
travelling about the country:
Il had grown tired of sitting among
the sleepy people in our car and when
we stopped at a little way-station l per-
suaded the engineer to let me rid on the
locomotive. The monster rocked like a
cradle, for 1t was a cheap branch road
running up into the wilds of North Da-
kota, but l soon became accustomed to
the pitching and tossing. When the big
engineer ~laughingly told me to stroke
up l sprang down, threw open the fur
mace door and Obeyed orders. 1t was
great sport, and I kept stocking. getting
black enough for a pickaninny act and
running a special pair of kids. AT the
next station we stopped for dinner, and
l had behaved so we'll that the engineer
said l might ride ten miles farther with
him. AS I only wanted a cup Of coffee l
was soon back in the cab
Desiring to improve my mind I eX-
amined the mechanism of the thing and,
wishing to know the uses of a certain
lever l gave it a pull just as I had seen
the engineer do. Gracious! There was

HOW BYRON PROPOSED.

Byron's proposal to his wife, Miss Mil
banke, was made after sordid discus
sion and study, and lacked all impulse,
says an exchange. Lady Melbourne,
who stood in his Confidence, observing
how cherries and unsettled his mind
and prospects were, ~strenuously advised
him to marry. She suggested a certain
lady, but Lord Byron fancied the idea Of
marrying Miss Milbanke.
NO" said Lady Melbourne, Miss Mil
banke will rot suit you. In the first Place
she has no fortune now, and you want a
person who will have a great admiration
for your genius; she has too great an adj
miration for herself"
We'll" said Byron. "as you please"
And, sitting down. he wrote a letter to
the lady recommended by Lady Mel
bourne. He received a refusal.
Now, you see." he said, Miss Mil
banke is to be the person after all; 1 will
write to her"
AS soon as he had finished, his friend,
still demonstrating, read the note, and
Observed:
well, really, this is a very pretty let
ter: it is a pity it should not go.''
Then it shall 60" exclaimed Byron,
and so saying he sealed and sent the fiat
of his unhappy fate.

her detractors inc where they were to be
found, she donned male attire. in which
her short hair and robust figure helped to
complete her disguise, and went to the
cafe at which the conspirators met. Here
she found them in full consultation, and,
taking a seat at a table, she listened to
their conversation for a time. After
awhile she addressed the leader, saying,
Il hear that you intend to play a trick
upon some one. I am very fond of a little
practical joke myself. and should be glad
if you would allow me to join you on this
OCCASION"
with pleasure" was the reply. I'VE
intend to hiss an opera singer off the
stage this evening.
Indeed, and of what is she guilty?"
"Oh, nothing; except that, being an
Italian, she has sung in Munich and
Vienna to German audiences, and we
hin she ought to receive some castiga-
ton for her unpatriotic conduct
II agree with you-and now please
tell me what I am to do"
Take this whistle" said the leader.
