The troubles between Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred l.. Stone and Mr.. and Mrs. Hamil-
ton, who reside in the double apartment
house at No. 1923 Nevada avenue. will be
aired in Judge Sullivan's court neXt Fri
day, when Mr.. Stone will explain to the
court why he slapped Mrs. Hamilton. and
Mrs. Hamilton will be required to tell
why she assaulted Mr.. Stone. Stone was
in court his morning, pleaded not guilty,
and the case went over. Shortly after
the sitting of court, he caused a warrant
to be issued for Mrs. Hamilton, Oil a
charge of assault.
The trouble, according to the story told
in court this morning. was of long stand
ing. Ultimatums a been issued pro and
con, and active hostilities We're rrecipi-
tated yesterday. when Mrs. Hamilton
met Mr.. Stone in their common hallway
and accused him of having famed her
cat. whereat she was very wrOth. Stone
was endeavoring to tell her that he did
not hurt her pet, When. after telling him
What her husband would do to him, she
slammed a screen doc against his arat
omy with such violence that respiration,
for the moment, was out of the question,
and with his wind went his temper and he
slapped the lady on the cheek. Then she
had him arrested.

a window yesterday. and received a Sc
we're cut in his head, pleaded not guilty
to a charge of disturbance, and will be

clared forfeited,

THE SOUVENIR BADGES.

Senator Mantle of the committee on re-
ception and welcome to the Montana SOL
diers addressed the following letter yes
terday to J. H. Yeyson in regard to the
souvenir badges:
September 10, 1899.
Mr.. j. H. LeysOn, city.
My Dear Sir: Referring to the matter
of the souvenir badges to be sold for the
benefit of the volunteer reception fund
l beg to suggest that in addition to hav-
ing printed upon them a fac-simile of the
medal of honor which is to be presented
to the returning volunteers, they should
also contain the following which can be
printed in handsome type, not too large,
and properly distributed on the badge:
Fac-Simile
of the
Medal of Honor
Presented by the State of Montana
to the
First Regiment of Volunteer Infantry
on their
Return from the Philippines
Reception and Welcome
at
Butte, Montana
1899.
I had also thought that the words Hail
and Welcome might appropriately be
printed at the top of the ribbon. The
colors of the infantry being white. that,
L AAIAl w NC ~ AoloA VI NAAN -
bon. The ink should be such as will
show up best and brightest. Probably
blue. l had thought that we ought to
have fac-similes of both the infantry and
cavalry medals printed on the badges,
but / do not know the dimensions of the
disk and it is much for one badge. l
think therefore hat we ought to pre-
pare to have some badges gotten up suit
! able for the cavalry volunteers, or
Rough Riders" The cavalry colors I
believe are yellow and this should be the
color used with suitable ink-prObably
red if it shows up well. On this badge
there should be printed with inscription
to correspond and which should l think,
be as follows:
Fac-Simile
Of the
Medal of Honor
Presented by the State of Montana
to the
Trough Riders
Third United States Cavalry
On the occasion
OF the Reception and Welcome
to the
First Montana Volunteer Infantry
Butte. Montana
1899. .
The word Loyalty might be printed
at the top and the word "Patriotism' at
the bottom of this badge.
The badges mentioned will be n
some souvenirs Of the occasion and 1t
is expected that every citizen OF Butte
Will purchase one or more, not My rOr
| the axe OF securing a souvenir but also
! for the sake Of swelling the fund to that
extent.

WHERE PROSPERITY DWELLS.

The stockholders of the Montana Pulp
and Paper company were in convention
last Thursday at Manhattan and elected
officers for the ensuing year. A new in
terest seems to have been awakened in
the enterprise and at an early date the
plant will be running IN full time. The
men who will direct the plans and
finances of the institution for the coming
year are Henry Mueller Of the Centennial
Brewing company, Butte: Geo. y. Ram
sey, cashier Union Bank and Trust COM
pany. Helena; Nicholas Kessler, Helena

brand, also of Manhattan.
Immediately after electing the directors
the following officers were chosen: Henry
Altenbrand, president; George Kinkel, Jr.,
vice president: Geo. l.. Ramsey, secre-
tary and treasurer. The principal bust
ness transacted after the election Of Off
GERS and directors was the making of
arrangements for new additions and i'm

INJURED AT THE EWA
w. j. ROTDA DRILLS INTO A MISSED
HOLE.

w. j. Rodda a miner, employed at the
Stewart mine met with a singular acct
dent about l O'Clock this morning and
fortunately escaped with a broker leg
a bad cut on the cheek.
Preparations nave been under way for
some time for the development of the
Stewart shat from the 900 foot level n
yesterday the preparations We're complet-
ed. Last night Rodda and Thomas
Bourdsen constituting the night shift
started work in the shaft with a ma
chine drill.
They had drilled down about a foot
when the drill a stick of q
portion Of a stick of giant powder m
an explosion followed. injuring Rodda as
stated and inflicted a few scratches on
Boursdon. The singular part of the ac-
cident is that no work has been in pro-
gress in the shaft for five months and
the powder, which was probably In a
missed hole. had been there that length of
time, but had evidently lost none of its
dynamic force.

concern will be the addition Of a shoddy
mill so they may use the wooden rags that
are gathered up throughout :he state.
They have let a contract to a Butte BUSH
ness man to look after the refuse rubbish
which most families are glad to be rid of,
but with a concern like this it will be the
means of distributing a goodly sum of
money to those who are willing to save
their cast aside goods till the rag man
comes. These rags of course are to be
used in making paper in connection with
the barley straw. The barley crop is re-
ported heavy in the valley and the COM
pany expects to have an abundance of
straw to use in the mills. The prospects
OF the new company are exceedingly
bright, and it is but a question of time
when the industry prospers.

Suicide of Louis Ramelli at
DelmO'S Ranch.
BULLET IN HIS BRAIN
Finances Were in a FlOuriShing Con-
diti0n--DeSpOndent Because
of a PrOtracted Spree.

The remains of Louis Ramell VINO
committed suicide at Delmo's ranch Mon
day morning by shooting. and concern
ing Whose tragic death the Inter Noun
tain published a brief mention yesterday,
were brought to the city this morning by
Undertaken Joseph Richards.
The suicide was about 40 years of age,
unmarried. and was associated with John
Connolly in the dairying business. His
finances were in a prosperous condition.,
he was making money. and no reason is
known among his friends for his rash
deed.
Delmo' ranch is about nine miles east
of Homestake. and in jefferson county.
Acting Coroner Less of Whitehall arriv-
ed at Homestake about midnight last
night. The body was removed to that
place. and at 3 o'clock this morning the
inquest began.
The story Of the witnesses who testified
before the coroner's jury is to the effect
that Ramelli and Connolly conducted two
ranches. one near the city, and the Delmo
ranch. 1t was Ramelli's duty to look
after the Delmo ranch. About ten days
ago he came to the city to get money
with which to pay off his men. He visited
his partner and was apparently in the
best of spirits. When he left Connolly it
was understood that he would return di-
rect to the Delmo ranch. He had with
him quite a sum Of money.
However. instead Of going to the ranch
he spent the week ending last Sunday IN
Butte, during which time he frank eav-
lily and spent his money lavishly. Sun
day evening he left Butte for the ranch.
and on arriving there was quite i'll as
the result Of his prOtracted spree. He
occupied a bed with one of his employees,
a man named Glora. About $50 Monday
morning he requested Glora to go into the
next room and build a fire. Glora was
performing this duty when he heard the
muff1ed report of a shot in the bed room
he had just left. He rushed back into
the room and found Ramelii lying on the
bed with blood gushing from his mouth.
and a smoking revolver which he held in
his right hand told the story Of what had
been done. Ramelli had placed the
in his mouth and fired, the ball
lodging in the back Of his head. He was
dead when GlOra reached his side.
Glora at once notified the other men
employed at the ranch of Ramelli's ac-
ton. A telegram was sent to Joseph
Richards. of this city, and the coroner
of Jefferson county was notified. The
Jefferson county coroner wired A. Less
of Whitehall to go to Homestake and
conduct the inquest.
The verdict of the jury was to the eff
feet that the deceased had come to his
death from a gunshOt wound inflicted by
himself with suicidal intent.
The remains will probably be shipped
to Summit. California, where four BROTH
ers and three sisters of the deceased re-
side.

The following message was read, ap-
proved and placed on file:
To the Directors of the Sacramento
Chamber of Commerce-Gentleme The
merchants of this city do not habitually
procure bonds from surety companies
for the good conduct of their clerks,
but the following information may be
worthy Of their attention.
Many of the surety companies of the
United States have recently adopted
one and the same form of bond for
universal use. This contract provides
that, when the employer is in possession
of the knowledge that his employe is
an habitual gambler, then the bond be-
comes void.
1t seems that the damage to employ
ers from gambling is so serious that
no annual payment will justify any
company in assuming that risk. OF
course the inference is plain-each en-
ployer must protect himself against
gamblers. Respectfully.
