Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-12-13

Professor c. II. Moore, citizen-member
of the board Of library trustees, called at
the Inter Mountain office this morning.
He says the aldernanic members of the
board shut out the citizen members at
last nights meeting, to which he enters
a vigorous protest.
Il have represented the people as a
member of the board of library trustees
for seven years, said the professor, land
this is the first time the gag rule has
been applied for the purpose of shutting
out those members of the board who are
not members of the city council / had q
matter of considerable Importance to
bring before the board last night, which
was treated with no consideration what
ever.
The established rule is that the library
trustees shall meet on the first Monday
before the first Wednesday Of each
month in order to pass upon matters
which are sent to the city council at the
next regular meeting. Our regular meet
ing should have been held December 4.
On the evening of that day l went to the
trustees room and waited for several
hours. The other trustees did not put in
an appearance. / went the next evening
with the same result. Finally a meeting
was arranged for last night. l went to
the trustees room early. Finally Kelly

mad notified Courtney and he would ar
rive in a few minutes. A little later Me-
din arrived. Ferns, Medin and Kelly then
went out into the hall and held Il confer
ence. When they returned Medin called
the meeting to order. The bills were au-
dited by the librarian and one trustee. a
strange proceeding. inasmuch as the
board has a committee on finance Court

bills were then passed upon. Before Me

they could go and the other members Of
the board would constitute IA quorum n
could attend to the business in question,
but the motion to adjourn was put and
carried, Kelly, Ferns and Medin voting
for it and Courtney and myself against it.
II am of the opinion that the alder
manic members of the board have entered
into a conspiracy against the citizen trus-
tees and p that they shall have but
little to say in the management of library
affairs. The matter which | wished the

BILLY WOODS
NEW VENTURE.

The irrepressible Billy Woods has
branched out in a new aVocation. He
has temporarily quit the tistic arena and
the field of athletics to wrestle a few
rounds with Jack Frost this winter and
proposes to al a few falls out of that
frigid Individual. Mr.. Woods is the in
ventor Of a weather strip for door and
window castings, which he believes will
decrease the population OF the cemeteries
this winter.
Mr.. Woods says that the rubber which
is used in the ordinary weather strip soon
becomes lard when exposed to the wet
and dirt. Felt is not rigid enough and
tears from the mOuldings when the glue
loses its adhesiveness. To overcome these
defects and to preserve the rubber Billy
incases the rubber in felt and attaches
the felt to the mouldings.

II. II. McCord and his Wife Virginia
have settled their difficulty and in all pro-
liability the public will hear nothing more
of their troubles.
Saturday a week ago Mrs. McCord ar
rived here from san Francisco and at
once had a warrant issued for the arrest
of her husband on a charge of breaking
the seventh commandment with a woman
who is alleged to have come from Seattle
to Butte with MCCord The alleged Of
fender was taken into custody and gave
Il bond for his appearance in court. Fol-
lowing in the wake OF the arrest came an
other action against McCord for MAIN
tenance temporary and permanent. but
since it was instituted the legal repreSeh-
tativeS of the two sides haNe effected 81
compromise. with the result that the suit
has been dismissed without prejudice.
This means that it can be brought up
again if necessary, but it is hardly likely
that McCord will receive further moies-
tation. 1t is also quite probable that the
adultery charge brought against McCord
will also be dismissed by the state, for
the woman in the case is said to have
raWled into some out-of-the-WaS aper-
ture and pulled the entrance in after her.

the Houston and Texas Central instead OF

The contract between the Katy and the
Texas Central will expire August 10, 1893,
having been in effect two years. 1t will
be remembered that Colonel Charles Ham
ilton, general manager OF the Texas Cen
trail, stole a march on the receiver of the
Waco and Northwestern two years ago
and ran a spur over to the Katy near Elm
Mott, since which time the interests OF
the two roads have been anything but
friendly. Since the winding UP Of the re-
ownership the Waco and Northwestern
has been merged into the Houston and
Texas Central and the management of that
road has been endeavoring to bring about
resumption of traffic arrangements with
the Texas Central. These efforts have
been successful and with the expiration
of the Katy contract the Texas Central
trains will resume the old route coming
into this city from Ross over the old
Waco and Northwestern tracks and occu-
plying terminal facilities Jointly with the
Houston and Texas Central.

Not Yet Settled.

Mr.. Edwin Gould denies that the Gould
interest has parted with the control OF
the st. Louis Southwestern Railway com
pany, or sold q share OF its stock. On
the contrary, the Gould interest in all
the securities Of the road has been in
creased from time to time.
AS far as he has been able to learn,
from expressions of many stockholders the
road has been managed satisfactorily to
them. He has assurances OF friendship
from those whose names are connected in
newspaper stories with the desire to con-
troll the policy of the company.
The fact that the Rock Island and St.
Louis Southwestern were both active in the
stock market and were bought by the
Flower people led to rumors OF some alli-
ance between the two companies. Gould
authority says that no closer alliance than
existing traffic arrangements is contem-
plated. The buying is based entirely upon
large earnings The Flower people are
closely identified with Chicago and East
ern Illinois, which road will form a close
connection with the st. Louis Southwestern
