HAVING A HARD TIME.
Republicans Do Not Know What They
Will Get Out of It.

Great Falls April 14.-The republican
administrato n-eIect of this city is evil
IDENTIFY having hard time trying to as
certain just what its powers will be. With
a democratic council to curb it, there is
small likelihood of its being able to make
a cleanup of all the city offices and the
principal business of the republicans will
be the getting in of one or two more men
who will have the power to confirm the
mayors appointments. That is the rea-
son why Herschel r. King, defeated re-
publican nominee for alderman of the
Third ward. to-day brought suit in the
district court to Gust Frederick p. Auer-
bach, the democrat elected.
The complaint recites the fact that there
was an election on April 3, and that the
contestant and contestee were nominees
for alderman of the Third ward. The
contestant then alleges, on Information
and belief, that the judges wrongfully
counted three votes for Auerbach that
were not legally cast for him and that
if the said votes be taken from the con-
testee it will reduce the number of his
legal votes below those legal votes that
were cast for the contestant for the
same office
The contestant prays for a recount of
the votes cast at the election and for a
Judgment whereby contestant is adiudged
to be rightfully and legally elected by the
largest number of votes and a majority
of all the votes cast

swore, he selected five winners on a
coupon duly mailed to the requisite ad
dress. Unfortunately he Enclosed in the
same envelope another coupon, which
he acknowledged did not contain the
name of single winner, and on apply
ing at the Office for his money he was
confronted with this. the receipt of
second one being strenuously denied.
The persistent baker testified that he
had sent in coupons unsuccessfully
each week for u years. so he was nat
urally indignant when the fruits of his
long deferred victory We're denied him,
and promptly set the machinery of the
law in operation
His testimony was supported by that
of a boarder in the house. who swore
that he spelt out the names of the
horses to the baker when he filed out
the coupons, and by that of his daugh-
ter, who swore she saw the coupons in
closed in one envelope, which she
mailed herself. This somewhat slim
evidence was, it appears, sufficient to
convince the jury, for, without hearing
the defense, they intimated to the re-
corder that they had made up their
minds to give the plaintiff verdict
for the full amount claimed. The senior
counsel for the defense, however, in
sisted on addressing the court in an
endeavor to prove that the Sporting
Lie acted Win DOna noe llteHlluHS.
The excuse he advanced was that,
after removing one coupon, the person
whose duty it was to examine the let
ters must have thrown away the en-
velope without noticing the second one.
This plea, though about as f1imsy as
the evidence for the plaintiff, brought
about the desired result. for the re-
corder assured the learned counsel that
his client left the court without stain
on his character as there could be no
doubt the failure to promptly pay the
premium was due to an accident. But
his honor cannot be a racing man. or
he would be aware that the odds
against any one picking five winners
and then his coupon being mislaid are
fully 100000 to 1. 1t is a pity the case
came to an abrupt conclusion, for it
would be interesting to learn if any
body has ever succeeded in winning the

Great Falls April 14.-Frank Bruce.

died at his home in this city after a brief
illness at an early hour this morning. On
Sunday morning he was seized with chills
and his illness rapidly developed into
pneumonia, complicated with kidney trou-
BILE. and finally carried him away.
Mr. Bruce has been in this city since
February, 1893, and during all of that time
has held the position mentioned. Emil
nently a just man and one who had spent
the larger yart of his life in railway SER
vice. it was natural that as soon as he
had grown to know the conditions in the
Western country he became one Of the
most popular men connected with the
Great Northern at this or any previous
time. The men respected him thoroughly
and after a short acquaintance felt that
they were sure of fair play at his hands.
His death IS deeply regretted among all
branches of the service and by every
man who was brought into contact with
him. from call boy to engineer. They feel
that it will be difficult to replace him as
man and as an official

Will Repair Roads at
Once.

Great Falls, April 14.--The food en-
relieved, mail arriving from there to-
day. For several days at the first of
the week, however, that town was shut
off from the world. Reports from
there say that Ross Fork was the first
to become abnormal,y swollen on ac-
count of the spring thaw, and when
parties attempted a crossing of this
stream, on the Philbrook road, the wa
ter was found to be nearly four feet
deep for a distance of some 40 feet
and running very swiftly. The stage
driver who arrived Sunday with the
Great Falls mail had wisely turned
northward and crossed the Judith at
Powell's, thereby avoiding the Fork.
When the gentlemen returned from
the funeral of John Raw Monday aft
ernoon they reported the approach to
the Powell bridge partially gone and
that it was unsafe to attempt a cross
ing there; Postmaster Stephens said he
had crossed on the back of one of the
horses and the buggy had been pulled
over by a horseman, The Maiden
coach did not arrive Monday, being
unable to get through the canyon on
the Gilt Edge road There also was
a report that the bridge over Warm
Springs creek, on the Benton road, had
gone out and that the crossing on
Ross Fork, on the Billings road, was
unsafe, but both of these proved to be
groundless, and the coaches from Ben
ton and Billings We're not unduly de-
layed.
Manager Mears of the Great Falls
line has been at Philbrook for the
past 10 days and is giving his atten-
ton to the prompt forwarding of the
mails. A part of a mail arrived yes
terday afternoon. The driver came
down from Philbrook to Powell's
the day previous and crossed early
Tuesday morning, before the nights
chill had lost it's effect. County Sur
veyor Stafford went out that way yes
terday and will take immediate steps
to provide safe road for travel.

Strange Decision Made in an English
Betting Contest


One of the most remarkable cases
that ever came before a legal tribunal
was decided short time ago in the
lord mayors court of London, Eng
land. A master baker named Walker
living at Langden, in Buckingham
shire, sued the Sporting Life, daily
metropolitan paper with a very large
circulation, for 100 guneas alleged to
have been won by him in a skill COM
petition. The case in question was
heard by the city recorder, Sir Charles
Hall, and a special jury. Neither side
spared expense in securing legal talent
for the baker had the assistance of
Mr.. Chandy, queens counsel, while
the defense was represented by two of
the most famous barriesters on the
home circuit
Entries for English races are made
in somewhat different fashion from
that usual in this country, most of the
events on the programmes closing two
weeks or more before their decision In
consequence the Sporting Life issues
each Saturday a small pamphlet con-
tanning the entries for the ensuing
week, for which it charges the modest
sum of 4 cents To stimulate it's sale
this little volume contains a coupon
giving the names of six races to be
decided during the week and offers A
premium of $50 guineas to any one who
can pick all six of their winners, with
consolation prize of 100 guneas to
those unfortunates who may only Sc
1ect five These coupons must be mailed
no the office of the paper, according to
directions, not later than Monday
morning. There is a pretty stout string
attached to these alluring prizes. how
ever, for the number of entries in the
races selected generally average over
40, while the number of starters sell
dom exceeds half a dozen, so it is
about 1000 to ! that no one picks six
horses who start, much more six who
win.
