Interested "Teddy," Jr.

The Albany Journals music reporter
tells this story in which the governor $
bright son figures: ~ have been attend
ing Mr.. Schenck's lecture rectals a. the
piano on Wagner's 'Trilogy,' and Wednes-
day, when the opera of 'Siegfried' was
being explained. l noticed the eldest son
of the governor. Master Theodore. who
has attended both recitais, sitting directly
before me. The small boy has proven
bal love of giants. dragons. gnomes and
other creatures of the fancy. and little
Teddy is not exempt from the rest. The
story interested him more than the music.
He had listened Tuesday to the story of
Siegmund and Sieginde, and when the
battle in the woods was related his eyes
grew wide and wild with pleasure. In the
Siegmund story the preface did not inter
est him so much until Mr.. Schenck began
speaking of the sword and prospective
battles with Dragons Then the inherited
warrior blood in the boy rose high, and he
listened with strained ears and wide OPEN
ell eyes. You remember said MT
Schenck, I tod you yesterday of the
sword "Needfu." how it was imbedded to
the hilt in an ash tree, only to be drawn
forth by the strongest man in the world
He hesitated a moment. when the audi
ence was startled by distinctly emphatic
'Yes! from the small son of the governor
who brooked no delay in the story that
had so excited him. An amused smile
went round the audience, but Mr.. Schenck
looked approvingly at the lad. and the
rest of the tale was described in language
Sufficiently picturesque to chain his in
terest to the end

A Reception to Bonner.

Great Falls, March IA telephone
message from Neihart this morning
says that on his arrival in that town
yesterday, Hon. William j. Bonner,
representative from this county, was
rendered an informal, but most enthu
siastic reception by his fellow citizens.
The brass band was on deck and its
music greeted him as he stepped off
the train and his friends, whom seem
to include the whole town in their
number, pressed forward to grasp his
hand and thank him for demonstrating
that there were n few honest men left.
The affair could hardly be anything but
most gratifying to Mr.. Bonner and to
the friends of decency in politics
throughout the state.

THE DISTRICT COURT.
The Suit of Samuel Wells Against L. Nj
Locke g. Co. Begun.


Great Falls. March THE district
court has been occupied all day in the
trial of the suit for damages by Samuel
Wells against L. M. Locke g. Co., and
the case is likely to hold the floor until
tomorrow noon, The suit is caused by
injuries received by the plaintiff. who
was in the employ of the defendant last
summer, when a derrick fell on him.
Blanche Sheldon this morning insti-
tuted suit against H. w. Stringfellow
and Frank Chestnut of Havre for
$1,000 damages. Her complaint recites
that on Oct. Z. 1897, w. l.. Perkins &
Co. brought suit against her for S707.70.
An attachment was issued and served
on the Sheldon hotel. at Havre, and
on the attachment bond the present de-
PENDANTS were the sureties. The case
was tried and resulted in a verdict for
the present plaintiff. She thinks that
she has been damaged in the sum of
$1,000. and asks for it.
The court having found that there
were insufficient jurors to try the cases
venire for IL additional Jurors.
The case entitled Fred Behrens VS..
Byersdorf & Nollar has been dismissed
without prejudice. That of Dudley Du-
bose against Cascade county has been
dismissed as settled. This was suit
to recover compensation for services
rendered as arbiter between this and

portion of the bill for fees, but the pres
ent board has allowed it in the full
amount and had the case dismissed.

CHANGE IN BOUNTY LAWS
Denounced as an Injustice to
Stockgrowers.
TAKES AWAY THE PROFIT
Alleged That 1t Will Be an Incentive
for Raising OF Wolf Pups-An
Increase of'the Pests Is
Predicted.

Great Falls, March lit is likely
laws will not be welcome to many of
those directly interested in their re-
suits. Possibly no change could be
made or any law framed which would
meet with unanimous approval from
both sheep and stockmen. The Teton
of country devoted largely to these
industries, takes the following view of
the new law:
One of the most absurd bills passed
by the sixth Montana legislature was
that relating to the bounty on wolves
and coyotes. 1t Is an injustice to stock
growers. 1t compels the county clerks
of the several counties of the state to
perform unnecessary and obnoxious du-
ties. 1t Will cease to induce the killing
of these pests, and will cause them to
increase at a rapid rate, causing great
er damage to stock.
THE new law, as passed, provides a
bounty as follows: Wolf IS. coyote,
81; wolf pups, 81 As compared with
the old law the bounty on grown wolves
is 50 higher. on coyotes it is 81 less and
on wolf pups 81 less.
THE cut on wolf pups cannot help
but create an incentive and practice
of allowing the pups to attain full
growth, while the cut on coyotes
makes their hunting profitless.
In all it is legislation for the big
cattlemen and directly against the in
terests of sheepmen. The old law was
all right and was not partial to either
cattle or sheep growers. The growers
of sheep pay their portion of the S
mill bounty tax exactly the same as
cattle growers, and it Is right that they
should receive equal benefit.
In order to secure the bounty on
these animals now not only the skin
and ears must be presented to the coun-
ty clerk, but also the tail. skull and
jaw. After punching the skins the
county clerk is ordered to keep them
for 30 days. With such a law being
enforced the stencil about the court
house will shortly become so offensive
that people will avoid going there, and
the health officers will condemn and
quarantine the place as injurious to the
health of the community. Think of
keeping 100 of those skins for 80 days
in the summer.
1T is claimed by friends of Mitchell
and Magee that they opposed the
new bounty law as it was passed, but
we find both of these members record
ed as voting for it. which will suffice
in saying that they supported it,

refer the matter for adjudication with
out delay. Not long ago young man
took his dear charmer out for cutter
ride. He dropped the reins, the horse
ran away, the occupants of the sleigh
fell into a snow drift, and before they
could realize the real beauty of their
position the whole town was out there
to see if any one was killed. They were
all ready for funeral and instead of
calling the hearse they called it a put
up job. The incident merely goes to
show how speedily things are done up
in Walkerville, about which Butte
proper knows so very little.
Police Magistrate Roberts has just
broken the record for speedy justice.
A shovel is swiped. the loser calls on
the thief for an accounting, the thief
smashes the owner of the shovel, arrest
follows, and, while the warm blood yet
trickles over the chin of the assailed
individual, the judge imposes fine on
the assailant-all within period of Is
minutes time.
Tom Wilcox, an old and inoffensive
labOrer, was working Tor the city assist
ing in opening up a frozen sewer. He
stood his shovel up against a building
and was picking the frozen ground
when Sol Willard came along, swiped
the shovel and carried it up the street
as far as ST Retallick's blacksmith shop.
The old man saw him with the shovel
on his shoulder and started after him
and called him down, as it were. Will
lard threw the shovel down and told the
old man to go below. The outcome was
Willard struck the old man a terrific
blow on the nose in the presence of COM
petent witnesses. Arrest was the next
scene and Immediately the curtain I'M
covered court room scene.
In court in the presence of the digni-
fed magistrate and witnesses Willard
swore point blank that he did not strike
the old man. The blood was still pour
ing out of the old mans nose from the
blow he received from Wizards right.
Judge Roberts fined Willard SIS,
which he paid and Immediately started
out for the woods ito get another load
of poles. The prisoner, upon being ar
rested. demanded an immediate trial,
saying that as his team was standing
out on the street he wanted to get
through with the affair and return to
camp. He was accommodated. and it
cost him SIS, and he didn't get the shovel
as bonus either.
