THE FEUO SETTLED,
Hard Feeling Between Ranchers Results
in Murder.

in Murder.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Livingston, July 13.-This morning at
5 o'clock Bob Stevens, a Shields river
rancher, came to town and gave him
self up, saying he had killed a neigh
Dor named Bill Smith. The two men
had ranches nearly adjoining, about 40
miles north of here, near Myersburg,
and there was hard feelings between
them. Yesterday evening about 6
o'clock they met on the road and set
tied the feud forever. Stevens says
Smith tried to kill him with a rock
and he shot in self defense. Both men
are married and have families. Both
are well known and are the kind of
people whom it is not we'll to quarrel
with.
Stevens is from Texas and is a crack
revolver shot, and Smith has never been
known to exhibit a trace of fear. Coro-
ner Lard, Sheriff Young and States
Attorney Miller went to the scene of
the shooting to-day and will hold an in
quest and return tomorrow.
Stevens killed his man with a bullet
from a 45-Colts through the breast. He
then informed neighbor and asked
him to care for the body, and, chang
ing horses, rode to town and gave him
self up. He seems but little concerned
over the shooting, and will try to es-
cape punishment on the plea of self
defense.

A Sudden Understanding in the
M. o. P. Case.

Followed.

The attorneys in the injunction case
of the Montana Ore Purchasing COM
pany against the Boston & Montana
company, which had been dragged
around in Judge Clancys court for
nearly a week while the parties were
trying to reach an agreement came to
sudden understanding yesterday
morning, when the matter was again
called for hearing. One Of the attor-
neys stated to the court that they had
not yet fully agreed, but he expected
they would. If the attorney had intend
ed to ask for another continuance,
Judge Clancy caused him to change his
mind by declaring that he would stand
no more of this jockeying." Mr.. Cor
bett protested that they were not jock
eylng, and Judge Clancy repeated that
they We're and said he was tired of it,
he would grant no further continuance
ana said If the attorneys were not ready
TO go ON with the hearing or arrive at
some agreement for a settlement he
would dismiss the case. A few minutes
later the attorneys had arrived at a
thorough understanding; an order was

THE vAcARIES OF THE LAW.
Some Curious Offenses and Strange
Statutes.


From Tid-Bits.
If the law is not exactly a sshass'' II
has, at least, much of the irresponsi-
bilities of that useful animal, and one
can never be quite certain when and
where it will kick.
Not many weeks ago very dstin-
guished Swedish official, General Rappe,
minister of war, was Imprisoned for
| three days for the offense of wearing
tall hat. King Oscar had summoned
a council of the cabinet, and, to his
dismay and that of the assembled min
listers the veteran general walked into
the council chamber in full uniform,
crowned by the incongruity of a silk
nat. His grotesque appearance was
greeted with roarS of laughter; but the
King, in spite of his smiles, ordered the
arrest of the absent-minded general.
Equally recently an actress, named
Edlth DaVitt, came into conflict with
the laws of Austria by appearing on
the stage OF the Somossy Orpheum, in
Vienna, in correct military uniform.
For this offense she had to pay a fine
of is forins, although. if her uniform
mad been faulty in a single button, she
would have escaped the law.
BY the curious Inconsistency which
characterizes laws generally, If an act
or IN Germany wears military uni
form at all on the stage he is punished
II 1t is not correct to the smallest de-
tail.
The Rev. j. c. Campbell of Los
Angeles has just paid heavy penalty
for an fndiscreet prayer. 1t appears
that the lady librarian of the public H.
brary of Los Angeles had caused offense
by allowing unorthodox books to be ad-
mitted and circulated. Mr.. Campbell
thought that such a grave offense was
a matter for prayer, and he offered up
this petition: 20, Lord, vouchsafe thy
saving grace to the librarian. and
cleanse her of all sin and make her
worthy Of her office" The court did
not agree with the preachers view of
clerical license, and Mr.. Campbell is
now a wiser man.
The legislature of Arkansas has late
ly set its face resolutely against ciga-
rette smoking, which it believes to be
very harmful to health. Now it is i'm
possible to buy a single cigarette in the
whole state; and any person offending
against the law is liable to a penalty
ranging from $500 to $500. The law is
even so stringent that a man who offers
cigarette to friend is liable to the
same penalty for his generosity.
A very sensible law has recently been
passed by the New Jersey house of
assembly regulating the hours NJ press
men generally. The law provides that
reporters and editors shall work eight
hours a day for a minimum salary of
s., or as, day; while an amendment
provides that these pets of the legis-
lature shall be allowed two hours daily
for luncheon. 1t is well to be a press
man in New Jersey. Madagascar is no
longer desirable home for old maids
and bachelors. The population of the

It MAY DELAY PAVING
Curbing Is Not Completed for
Full Block.
LITIGATION IS EXPECTED

cation.

Tomorrow is the day on which Con-
tractor r. r. Kinds it to begin the paving
for which he was awarded the contract
by the council, that is if he complies with
the terms of the contract. the 18th being
the day nominated as the one on which
the work must begin. 1t is doubtful,
however, that the work will be started for
some days yet. the Curbing. which was
only started a few days ago, is not COM
pleted for full block and it has hitherto
been required by the PAYERS that the
curbing be at least two blocks ahead of
them in order that while one block is
being paved another may be in course of
preparation.
The curoing started on the block be-
tween Park street and Broadway and
that block is nearly completed. 1t should
not take much more than the balance of
the week to curb another block and the
work of paving ought therefore to be
started within the next week. Contractor
Kinds stated last evening that he did not
expect to get started tomorrow, but that
he was in hopes of making a beginning
at an early day.
Under the circums tances the contin-
gency the aldermen are chiefly interested
in-whether or not the paving is to be al
lowed to go ahead or is to be hindered by
injunction proceedngS-must necessarily
remain in suspense for some time. No
move has yet been made. for the reason.
doubtless, that the curbing that has been
done is in one of the two districts where
the protests made did not represent half
Of the property affected. but Mayor Nc
Carthy has been notified that property
owners in the districts where the protests
represent 30 per cent. of the property pro-
pose to fight the paving in the courts, and
1t is expected that as soon as the curbing
starts in any of these districts the in
junction business will begin.
The city already had one law suit to de-
fend itself against growing out of the
proposed paving, but it is not in connec-
ton with the objections to the improve
ments except that it is suspected to have
been prompted by the fact that the plant
IFS were directors. 1t is a suit started a
few days ago against the city and James
Farrell, the curbing contractor. in which
A. A. Mcmillan and ID. j. Charles sue for
y. 100 damages they have sustained by
reason of the curbing already done on
Wyoming street. In putting in the curb
ing it became necessary to cut off mar
row strip of sidewalk in front of the prop
erty owned by the plaintiffs for which
800 damages is asked; then 81, 900 is asked
for malicious destruction Of property and
$1,000 more is prayed for for injury to
their business. Just how the business of
the plaintiffs has suffered is not specified.

From the Cincinnati ENQUIRER

CHARLES Conroy, while hunting. made
a most peculiar find. Discovering the
detached skull of the skeleton of a
horse, he gave it kick that rolled it
over, revealing in the cavity of the skull
the corpse of rabbit. A further in
vestigation disclosed the fact that the
rabbit had entered the hollow skull as a
place of retreat, but in doing so dis
lodged piece of the vertebrae bone of
the horses skeleton, which lodged in
the opening through which 1t had
crawled and completely closed the exit
and made the rabbit prisoner in it's

fined until starvation brought death.

big lot of litigation on its hands, pro-

stop the paving, as every property owner
