Yet they must think, they must con-
slider, or they will have to pay dearly
for their neglect. Knaves and their
tricks abound; but these would be COM
paratively inocuous. IL there were not
so many thoughtless and careless per-
sons. who really seem to seek for traps
that they may run into them. Good
laws might restrain the knaves and
their tricks, If good and intelligent men
made them; but the bad men and fools
will do our legislation in favor of
knaves so long as the people choose so
many bad men and fools to represent
them in General Assemblies, councils
and Congress. Virtue, without sense,
Is gibbering idiot, full of danger.

CHARGE OF PERJURY.
H +. A. BARTLETT CASE IS BEING
HEARD THIS AFTERNOON.

+. A. Bartlett, formerly a merchant Of
this city, against whom bankruptcy pro-
ceedings are pending, had a preliminary
hearing before United States Commits
sioner Wood on the charge of perjury.
Bartlett is charged with swearing falsely
in his petition for bankruptcy as to his
assets. After the papers We're filed it will
be remembered that burglars were alleged
to have broken into his home and secured
some $4,000 in cash belonging to his wife,
who is now said to be out of the city.
The burglary matter was gone into IN
today's examination. The attorneys for
the creditors contended that the burglary
was a fake planned for the purpose of de-
priving the creditors of their money. Mr..
Bartlett was questioned at length as to
the facts of the burglary, but he claimed
he knew nothing of the alleged burglary
and swore positively he had not made any
statements to the police. His memory was
very poor on other points, and he would
not state positively that a burglary hau
been committed.
Messrs. Roote and Shelton appeared for
the creditors and r. Coombe for the de-
PENDANT. The first witness was W.. A.
Reynolds, of Reynolds & Mcdowell, VINO
testified that one evening the
first and tenth of February, Mr.. Bartlett
and Ras Rochester met in his office ana
talked Over business matters. Mr.. ROcheS-
Ter Stdleu lHdl hC ihiN
lett's stock for about Sc, 500, had paid him
about half the amount and would make
out a check then for the balance. amount
ing to SO, 25O. The bill of sale for the goods
was then drawn up in the firms office.
Mr.. Shelton was sworn and said that
he had a talk with Bartlett before his
failure. He had a claim against Bart
lett for 81, 200. and he asked Bartlett what
his financial condition was and was told
it was all right.
At the afternoon session the matter of
the alleged burglary was taken up. Mr..
Bartlett said that he could not state
whether or not any money had been
taken. He had not made any statement
to Captain Dawson or the police but prob
ably his wife or Mr.. Liscomb, who ac-
companied them that night had said
something to the police.
About 4 o'clock this afternoon Captain
Dawson was giving his testimony.

Judge Clancy Renders an I'M
pOrtant Decision
IN CONNECTION WITH IT
He Maintains 1t is ~C0llectable on
on Property in Additions
to Butte.

In department No. II. Of the district
court this afternoon a very important de-
cision was rendered by Judge Clancy.
About four years ago William l.. Hill,
then treasurer of Silver Bow county and
possessing power to collect special i'm
provement taxes for the city, attempted
to collect taxes or a portion of the Colum-
bia addition. The owners objected and
William l.. Forbis, one of them, brought
an action in enjoinder to prevent the
treasurer from concentrating his deter
mination.
Three weeks ago the matter was taken
up in department No.. II. and submitted
to the court on briefs. The court holds
tax and in so deciding read IA lengthy
document in support of his position.
In winding up the decision the judge
says:
1T is, however, claimed by the plaintiffs
that the portion of the Columbia not laid
off in lots at the time of it's annexation
does not form a part of the addition to the
city, but only those portions which are
divided into lots.
This contention is directly in the face
of the plat which forms a part of the
agreed statement of facts. That plat
shows that the entire premises included
within it's boundaries constituted the Co.
lumbia addition. 1t is immaterial for
what purpose the premises were put to
by the owners of the Columbia lode after
it has annexed to the city. 1T might be
used for any of the various purposes for
which it was suited, but because 1t was
reserved for mining purposes does not eX-
empt it from assessment for local i'm
prOvementS.
1T is well to be remembered in this
connection that the annexation of the Co
lumbia addition was mad to the city by
the owners of the property in conformity
with the statutes providing for the an
neXation of contiguous property and that
in doing this it must have been contem-
plated by the owners of the property
that the premises annexed as an addition
was subjected to local assessment.
where property, such as church is ex-
empt from state, county or municipal
taxes it is always chargeable for assess
