HIS SIDEWALK CONTRACT
Mccoy Alleged to Be Behind in
His Labor Claims.
BONDSMEN SERVE NOTICE
They Do Not Want the City to Pay Nc
Coy Until All Accounts Against
p, Him Are Settled-May
Be Adjusted.

Notice was served on the city yes
terday by the bondsmen of John Nc
Coy not to pay to Mccoy the warrant
for s19650 until he should have paid
the claims against him for labor and
building material This is another step
in the trouble which has been growing
over McCoy's sidewalk contract, and
which bids fair to become very COM
plicated affair.
The bottom of all the trouble is that
Mccoy contracted to do the work at
far less than it was possible to do it
and make expenses. The city, in May,
advertised for bids for the construc-
ton of all sidewalks during the pres
ent season, and on June Mr.. Mccoy
got the contract, his bid being far low
er than that of any other bidder Mr..
Mccoy started building sidewalks, but
he soon found that his bid for the
work would no more than pay for the
lumber and nails, with nothing left to
pay the labor. Mr.. Mccoy claimed
that he had been promised lumber at
$11 per thousand, but was disappointed
and had to pay several dollars more
than that. Consequently he found
himself getting deeper into the hole,
and after the laying of about 600 feet
of sidewalk he quit. Notices from the
city to lay certain sidewalks received
no attention from him; the sidewalks
ordered were not built. Notices sent
to McCoys bondsmen, D. ]. Hennessy
and Charles Schatzlein, also failed to
bring about the laying of the walks.
Meanwhile the claims for labor were
coming in.
At Wednesday nights council meet
ing the council voted to pay Mccoy
S1955O being the amount he Is entitled
to for work already done, less Is per
cent, which is withheld by the city
until it is ascertained whether all
claims have been paid. This amount
was ordered paid on the advice of City
Attorney Lamb, who concluded that in
order to have proper action against the
bondsmen the city must first comply
with it's own part of the contract,
which requires it to pay for the work
already completed, less Is per cent
This payment was ordered, but yes
terday McCoy's bondsmen came for
ward with a notice to the city not to
pay anything to Mr.. Mccoy until all
claims for labor and material have
been settled.
However this matter may be adjust
ed, it seems likely that there will be
very little sidewalk building in Butte
during the balance of the season. NC
Gov. who has the contract, won't lay
the walks. nor have his bondsmen
shown a disposition to do so. The city
might itself lay the walks and try to
enforce payment from the bondsmen,
| but this would probably involve liti-
| CATION. 1t is probable that no more
| walks will be laid unless property own
ers lay them themselves.

pugilist Charged With Manslaughter.

San Francisco, Aug. 1S.-The autopsy
held on the remains of Jim Franey, the
pugilst. who died after having been
knocked out by Frank Mcconnell on
Wednesday night. showed that his vital
organs were diseased, that he was in no
condition to enter a ring, and principally
that he had been beaten and pummelled
to death by Frank Mcconnell who was
arrested on a charge of manslaughter and
is now out on bail. A similar charge has
also been placed against j. ]. Groom and
j. d. Gibbs, promoters of the fight, and
Hiram Cook, the referee. and the seconds
of both men engaged in the contest. All
have given bonds and are now at liberty.
DIR. ]. l.. Zabal, the city autopsy physi-
clan, explains. the cause of the pugilst's
death as follows:
II found severe Commissions on Franey's
face, shoulders and upper arms. There
was hemorrhage Of the brain on the left
side and the organ itself was in an amaze
mic condition. The man must have re-
ceived terrible punishment and death was
nothing more than the result of the
blows which were rained on his face and
head. The impact of the head on the
floor had nothing to do with it. He was
in dying condition before he fell, Fra
ney should never have entered the ring.
An examination of his lungs showed pleu-
raj paralysis. He was certainly unfit for
unnatural exertion."

swer OF the Witness" said Mediation,
but the court allowed it to stand.
The figures of the affidavit were
brought out, evidently to show that at
the time it was made Mr.. Macfarlane
swore that the vein was 100 to 100 feet
wide at the west end, and for the pur-
pose of comparing that statement with
his testimony in the McDevitt case
when he widened the vein to 800 and 400
feet, and his testimony in the present
case to the effect that he had no idea
how wide it was at that point
Mr.. Macfarlane's cross-examination
had not been finished when the court
adjourned, though Mr.. Patterson stated
that he would conclude it within 30
minutes on Monday morning, to which
time the further trial Of the case was
continued.

EFFECT OF DEVELOPMENT
1t Causes Many Changes in the Width
OF Ore Bodies-Mr. Macfarlane Still
on the Stand-Case Will Be Fin
ished by Thank sgivng.

According to the progress so far
made in the trial of the Pennsylvania
mining case. it will probably be con-
cluded about Thanksgiving day. The
case has been on trial practically one
week. and the first expert witness is
still on the stand. His examination
may be concluded on Monday. and
then Is others at least will follow him.
Aside from several good-natured con-
troversies and tilts between counsel,
the interest at the trial yesterday was
the fact brought out by Mr.. Patterson
cross-examinaion of Expert Macfarane
that development work and other
things and conditions are liable to have
a very striking effect on the reliability
of expert mining testimony. There was
evidence brought into the case on the
cross-examination that at one time,
less than two years ago, the great
Rarus body of ore was a very common
vein and that Mr.. Macfarlane made a
solemn affidavit that its width at GER
tain point was about 100 feet. Later he
placed its width at 800 feet, and in
March, 1898, during the trial of the
Michael Dewitt case. when the great
zone theory had been evolved, the lode
or zone had reached a width of nearly
500 feet, the surface of which covered
the greater part of the Rarus claim
and Tapped over part of the Pennsyl-
vania. Now, according to Mr.. Macfar
lane and further development work, the
zone has shrunken into lode again,
the apex of which has slipped off the
Pennsylvania altogether and is mar
rowed from 300 to $50 feet, while, as to
the east end, where he had established
the width with such certainty several
times, he can now form not the slight
est idea as to how wide the Rarus lode
may be, while at another point fur
Their west he has been able to add 270
feet to it's width on the 600-foot level.
The effect of these changes made
necessary by later development work
can only be appreciated by one listen
ing to all the testimony or studying
the maps at the trial, showing the rela-
ton of the mining claims and the loca-
ton of the ore bodies in dispute in the
different suits between the Montana
Ore Purchasing company and the Bos-
ton & Montana Mining company.
When court convened yesterday
morning Mr.. SCallon, of counsel for de-
PENDANT, called attention to motion
before the court that the defendant be
duced in court by the plaintiff Judge
Mediation made an objection TO the
motion for the reason that the maps
had not been offered in evidence, but
had only been marked for Identification.

THE NAILED BOARD.
What It Means to the Colored People
of the South.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Just at this time OF year down south
men acting apparently in strange and
erratic manner are seen about the coun-
try lanes and in out-of-the-wa plan
tation premises. Sometimes it is only
one man thus encountered-an alert
looking person, securing the prospect
with eyes that let nothing escape.
Sometimes there are two or more men
together lowering on the outskirts of
d cornfield or cotton patch, scanning
things witha wide-awake comprehen-
sive gaze. Things that the gunman
and naturalist ana nature-lover would
dote on--for people can love nature
without regard to science or dissection
are discounted in their care for what,
after all, seems a mere inanimate piece
of board or staging, which some car
penter overlooked when he worked in
that spot, and which strangers pounce
on and appropriate as though it We're
the one thing above all others worth
having.
What are they going TO do with
that piece of board?" asks some one
shut up some negros core house
with it," comes the answer. "See.
there's the place, through those trees
to right" What are they going to
do that for?" "Oh, because the negro

square feet of veneering can be turned
out by a machine within the minute, an
inch of wood will yield thirty-two ven-
eers. In this county a specially thick
veneer is cut; instead of papering the
walls of a house they are sometimes
Veneered with mahogany, walnut or
birdseye maple. This veneer is so thin
that it must be backed up with paper
to give it strength. The best wood for
the purpose is got from trees that
have grown slowly in poor soil. Rich
ly figured Veneers are obtained from
the roots Of trees. There is a good
market for them among the makers Of
pianoforte cases.
One of the queer occupations of man
kind is that of dragging for lost an
chors. 1t is carried on in bays and
rivers, and even IN the open sea along
the coast Several sloopS and schoon-
ers are engaged almost exclusively in
this pursuit. These hunters are as ia

are to be found as fishermen are with

the favorite haunts of the living in
habitants of the sea, The matter Of
fishing for lost anchors Is most sim
pie. A chain is let down in a loop long
enough to drag along the bottom and
the vessel goes on her way, with all
hands alert for q bite, and g. bite us
ually ends in a catch. The recovered
anchors are general'y sold again at
price of about 5 cents a pound, which
is penny under the market price for
new anchors. big anchor will weigh
5000 pounds, SO that the fisherman
make $3.50 out Of it. More often, how
ever, the anchors tished up weigh from
1000 to 1000 pounds, and there Is q
pretty profit in the business even then.

time of the year when he would be
likely to have anything to pay out
with. Those men are the sheriff's de-
puties. He has them all over the coun-
try now. They will take that board
and nail it across the door of the corn
house, fodder house or cotton bin.
or whatever is levied on, and, slight
as it seems, that board represents the
seal of the law. Just now, lying on
the ground, it was merely discarded,
weather-b beaten piece of scantling, but
once put up across the door and ham
mered in place, it has a vital meaning.
How long will it stay there2 Until
the owner of the corn or cotton shows
a disposition to pay the debt, or makes
some arrangement in regard to it.
Maybe it will be taken down in two
or three days, maybe not for as many
months or weeks. 1t depends on cir
cumstances. But, however much need
or desire the owner may have to get
into his barn, or how far out of the
way he may live from the sheriff, he
won't dare to lay finger on the board.
It's a penitentiary offense to tamper
with it. and even the most ignorant
negro tenant understands that There
is tragedy and comedy, too, abroad
in the country at this time Of year.
Maybe it's only beggarly So or so
that somebody wants to collect and
takes this summary means of collect
ing-the balance of payment on a sew
ing machine or for some piece of fur
niture or frippery, bought perhaps
years ago. and which these simple
folks in their inability to keep a reck-
| oning thought was paid for. Perhaps
in reality it was paid for, and they
| are being cheated and made to pay over
| again.
Sometimes 1T is a grave matter
| that shuts up the corn house, relating
| to the payment of mule or a mans
| farm lands. 1t maybe that the negro
| has been caught carrying his Drop off
| by stealth somewhere else to sell, in
| place of paying his landlord or the
man who has furnished supplies and
| crop-making gear during the year. For
whatever omission or desert trivial or
| serious, it was done, the negroes re-
| gard the sheriff's visit with awe, and
| feel themselves disgraced and outlawed
| when the talismanic board is tackled
| to their door,
Sam Harley was shut up two years
| hand runnin' gedderin' time!" they say
with an ominous headshake and sug-
gestive tone. And Sam Harley loses
cast in society until he does something
| TO make up for the experience.
| 'Zok Happy's good square, far

| site argument. And those who, eth
er through misfortune or duplicity,
ever have to wear the brand feel it
