THE POWDER EXPLOSION
Judge McHatton's Decision Has
Been Reversed.
A SCRAMBLE FOR COVER
Nearly All of the Original Owners Have
Left the State and Have Taken
Their Property With
Them,

The news from Helena that the SUI
preme court yesterday reversed de-
cision made by judge Mediation in the
celebrated explosion cases puts new,
an interesting and a speculative phase
on the whole litigation and there will
probably be another head-over-heels
scramble on the part Of some people to
make themselves Judgment proof. The
supreme court deCisi II, according to a
telegram received by Attorney j. A.
Shelton yesterday morning, was made
in the case of Mrs Minnie Cameron
against the Kenyon-Cunnell CONNER
cial company, in which it was sought to
hold the trustees OF TIE company liable,
after the company had put all it's prop
erty out of the reach If the courts. The
trustees sued Were NJ. j. Council, w.
r. Kenyon, Charles II. Palmer, Benja-
min Tibbey and j. T., Gaylord. At the
trial a motion for nnn-suit as to the
trustees was sustained by Judge Nc
Hatton, who held that they could not
be held personally liable, and verdict
was returned against Mrs. Cameron,
who had sued for 100000 damages for
the death of her husband, the chief of
the fire department, who was blown up
with about go other men. In every suit,
except the first one that was brought
against the company, the trustees were
made defendants, and the cases were
non-suited. The frs, suit was the God
dard case, in which a verdict for a big
sum was obtained, but in anticipation
OF it the Kenyon Cornell company was
attached and seized by w. A. Clark &;
Brothers. bankers and the verdict and
Judgment secured by Mrs. Goddard
were defeated. After the trial of the
various cases W. r. Kenyon closed out
his business in Butte. and with a COOS
fortune in his pocket went East, and is
now manager of a pipe and tile manu-
featuring company in Syracuse, N. Y.
NJ. j. Council still has a big business in
Butte. but is spending most of his time
abroad. G. H. Palmer, formerly general
superintendent of the Butte & Boston
company, also closed out his interests
in Butte, and is now located somewhere
in the East. Ben Tibbey resigned his
position as superintendent of the Par
rot company, and is now living in Cali
fornia, while Mr.. Gaylord, who also re-
signed his position as general manager
of the Parrot, left the state and is now
residing in Connecticut. So far as gen
orally known Mr.. Council is the only
one who retains any extensive property
interests in Montana The attorneys
and numerous other parties interested
will await the full text of the supreme
court decision with much interest as
the information received yesterday gays

Cameron's attorneys are r, l. Walsh

VICIOUS DOGS.
High Time the City Officials Were Doing
Their Duty.

High Time the City Officials Were Doing
Their Duty.
The human population has had its
trials with the grip and kindred all
ments this past winter, and for many
people the siege proved to be hard
one, disastrous in some cases. How
portions of a plague and all is well
comparatively.
Now comes the canine population
with a similar affection-grip, grip on
the ankles and other convenient men,
bers of the anatomy of the human pop
ulation. The dog delights, to bark and
bite and make life miserable for man
at night.
During the past fortnight no less
than two dozen persons have been bit
ten by vicious dogs. That number at
least has come to the attention of the
public through the press. The dog
seems to be seized with a sudden desire
to sink his molars into human flesh and
he forthwith proceeds to execute the
mandate of his fiendish instinct by
frantically rushing at the unwary pc
destrians and taking nip. That makes
it bad for the man who is by law pro-
hibited from carrying a gun. In such
cases, so frequent are they, a gun is a
most convenient companion.
An indignant, yet patient public,
hopes and prays that some official steps
will be taken to eliminate the very dis
agreeable portion of the dog clan in this
city-put it in holes or put holes in it,
or any old thing, just so the bad dog is
removed from the face Of the earth.

THE BANKRUPTCY COURT .
Startling Proof of the Crime
of '73.
A PETITION PRESENTED
George B. Cain Was Wealthy Before
the Financial Depression OF 1893.
His Money Was Lost When
the Great Slump Came.

Startling proof of the awfulness of
the crime of '73 and the consequent dis
tress it spread over the silver-producing
communities of Montana in 1898 was
exposed to view yesterday in the United
States court, when Attorneys Simpson
G. Rodgers of Anaconda presented the
petition of George B. Cain, a former
Philipsburg merchant, for an order to-
be adjudged bankrupt. When the IA
tai stroke knocked the breath out Of
Philipsburg Mr.. Cain was doing pros
porous hardware business in that camp.
He was one of the victims of the re-
lentless sweep of financial depression.
Since Mr.. Cain closed his store he has
been working for wages. He is, so the
petition recites, absolutely without
means to pay his debts. His schedule
of assets is composed of few houses

IT WAS A WARM THING
Bolted the Mass Meeting Held at
the City Hall.
COULD NOT GET A HALL
The Necessary Fee Was Not Forthcom-
ing-Wouldn't Even Pay the jan

The warmest thing in public gather
ings was the meeting last night in the
lobby of the Auditorium. 1t was warm
in every implication of the word. Still
it was a chilly affair after all. There
We're about so men there, men who bolt
ed the mass meeting held in the city hall
a few nights ago for the purpose of
nominating three school trustees. They
allege and affirm that the city hall
meeting was fraudulently conduCted;
that the ballot box was stuffed, and
that, taken all around, ii was very
irregular affair. Hence the convention
last night 1t was the E. z. PaXson clan.
MI. PaXson was once clerk Of the school
board. He is given the credit for bring
ing about the session last night. A man
named J. B. Scott was preliminary
marshal of the forces that gathered in
the lobby. They would have held their
meeting in the Auditorium had the jan
itor given them permission to do so.
But as the required rental fee was not
forthcoming, they We're obliged to halt
at the head of the stairs.
Walter McGill was chairman and A.
G. Corbet secretary of the meeting.
There was a ticket in nearly every
mans hand, bearing the names Of J. NJ.
Hinkle. C. M Atkins and H. NJ. Patter
son. These men were placed in nomi-
nation. So was Robert Tate. William
Hammond moved to indorse George
Moulthrop. one of the nominees of the
regular city hall convention. Hinkle
opposed indorsing him, but was willing
to have him nominated by the select
few. The chairman stated by indorsing
him the select few would thus approve
of the action of the city hall conven-
ton and that would not do at all. for
that convention was fraudulently con-
ducted.'
The meeting went to press with five
candidates-Hinkle, Atkinson. Patter-
son, Tate and Moulthrop, with the I'M
derstanding that the three coming out
on top be declared the nominees. The
count resulted as follows: Hinkle. As;
Atkins, Al; Patterson, As; Moulthrop,
IL; Tate, /. The three first named We're
declared the choice of the convention.
