PORTLAND MAN INTERESTED
Decision OF the United states Supreme
Court In Case OF Frank Dudley.


The treasury department is in receipt

States VS.. frank Dudley, the lumber
dealer OF this city, On writ Of certioTari
| to the United States Circuit Court of APP.
peals for the second circuit affirming the
decision of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals in this case.
This suit was very important one and
many more c,ses are pending this de-
cision. IL seems that In 1895 the custom
house officials at Burlington, VT. assessed
a duty at tbs rate of 25 per cent ad valo-
rem on lum hsr that was coming through
TO Frank Dudley in this city. The msr-
chandiso involved consisted of planned,
tonzred and grooyed luml OF and the aus
toms officer claimed 1t was dusiabls as a
manufacture Of wood under n tariff act Of
1884, Tbs importer protested, claim ing
that the merchandise was entitled to free
entry Of thai act as dressed lumber. Suit
was brought In 1895 bsfore the beard of
general appraisers in New York, the
amount named being $i2, coo.
The board OF general appraisers, after
tiklng considerable testimony In the casa
held that the lumber In question was not
commercially known as dressed lumber.
On appeal to tho Unite States Circuit
court tue case was decided adversely to
the government the court overrullng the
decision OF the board OF general apprais-
ers Subsequently this view was sus-
tained by thu United States Crsuit Court
of Appeals for tia secoai circuit. to
which the casa was appealed.
The United States Supreme court in
passing On this case holds that. although
the LUMBER In question had been tongusd
and grooved, 1t had not celssd to be
"dressed lumber, and had not become
q new and distinct manufacture; In other
words that tongueing and growing is an
additional dre sing, but does not make
1t different article. The court, there
fore. afIirms the decision OF the Cirou 1t
Court Of Appeals.
This finally disposss Of the case and
win be read with interest by all Portland
linber dealers. The attorney for Frank
Dudley was Hon. q. A. prouty of New

FIRE IN PLANNING MILL.
1t Was n Hard Fire TO Fight But the De.
partment Made Short work ofIt.

AT quarter past six o'clock last eve
ming fire suddenly broke ont in the
planning mill of W. A. Allen on Kenne-
lee street, near the corner Of Prehle. The
fire started on the second aoor. near a
workman's bench hut the cause Of 1t is
unknown. In remarkably short sraoe
of time the blaze had worked its way to
the floor above and dropped down to the
floor below 50 that when the fIremen
reached the scene the building was ap-
parently on fire from top Co bottom
Black smoke poured from every window
of the three-story structure and complete-
ly flllsd the street. The blazs had found
Its way into big pile of kiln dried
mouldings and other lumter On the top
floor and every second al ded to its inten-
sity. Chief Eldridge ordered the fire.
men to tight the fire on every floor at the
same tiae and by following this plan
the blaze was soon extinguished. 1t was
one of the best handled tires the depart
ment yet has to its credit, and the loss
was not nearly as heavy rs 1t at first
threatened to be. Mr.. Allen said that he
thought four or five thousand dollars
would cover his loss TO stook machinery
and building and that his insurance
would cover this. A large amount OF
fancy mant,ls and mouldings ON the top
door was bu rned or injured ly water and
smoke and Part of the machinery was BADLY
damaged. The building was not much In
jurei as the IRE was closely confined to
one end of it. Every window in the
building was lroken to allow the frsmen
TO reach the flames.

0AHy INTER MOUNTAIN: BUTTE, MONTANA MONDAY, JANUARY 2, 1895.

When searched he had s4.5O on his person
and the usual articles that a man carries
about him, but no knife. His lip was cut
and much swollen, and there was a bruise
on the side of his face. He said that he was
at the cock fight at it's conclusion, and
while he was having an with
another man, Murray, without any warm
ing, struck him a powerful blow on the side
of the head and knocked him senseless.
He said that while he was down he must
have been kicked. as he felt the sores and
bruises on his body. He claimed to have
lost $40 during the scutiie, but did not know
how. According to his story he had a $40
bill, a $40 gold piece and S. in silver, in adj
dition to that taken from his at the Jail.
He said nothing whatever about the cut
ting.
Neary is about 26 years of age, unmar-
ried, and a miner by occupation. He is
about 5 feet s inches in height and weighs
about $50 pounds. He is dark complexioned,
has a slight mustache and short, curly,
black hair.
Mr.. Bishop. bartender at the Boulevard,
says that all he knows of the trouble was
that his attention was attracted by a push
ing at the far end of the bar and he saw
Neary brandishing a knife and slaShing
right and left. He saw the blow that
struck Murray on the shoulder and after
that Neary went out. He has no idea how
the trouble was started.
DR.. Cayley first attended the injured man
at the Boulevard house, and he was after
wards removed to the st. James hospital,
where Drs. Alexander and McNeVin took
him in hand. The cut in the shoulder was
not a dangerous one, but the cut in the
stomach the doctors agreed, was likely to
produce death.
Murray is d by trade, but up
to Saturday night had been working in
some capacity for the Never Sweat mine.
He is unmarried, and his only relative in
Butte is a sister, Mrs. Mcdonald, who con-
ducts a boarding house. Murray is small
of stature, but very tough and wiry.
The injured man was alive this after
