SUES FOR A BODY.
J. W. Haggerty Uses the Law to Get
Possession of a Corpse.

A rather novel suit was commenced in
the district court last evening, an ac-
ton having las it's object the recovery Of
a dead body from an undertaken. The
plaintiff is j. w. Haggerty as the agent
for James Mcdonald. The body is that
of Bernard Mcdonald, who was killed. in
the shaft Of the Smokehouse mine two or
three days ago..
After setting forth the manner Of Nc
Donald's death the plaintiff states in his
complaint that James Mcdonald. a broth
err of the deceased, residing at Brockton,
Mass, wired him ITO take charge Of the
remains of the dead the message
being as follows:
'Brockton. Mass, October 2.-J. w.
Haggerty, Butte: Please take charges of
the remains of Bernard Mcdonald and
wire me if he is insured or has any money
to pay transportation. If so, ship at
once to James Mcdonald, II Addison av-
enue, Brockton, Mass. Wire me full par
ticulars at once ITO Thomas Nolan, 25I
Main street, Brockton."
After the accident the body of the I'M
fortunate man was turned over to the
undertaken and the plaintiff alleges he IS
withholding it although demand for it
was made. He further alleges that the
deceased was. a member of the Catholic
Order of Foresters, st. Peters Cour 1144,
and that he,. plaintiff, is the recording
secretary of the organizations; and that
because of his official connection with
the order as well as the agent for the
| surviving brother he is entitled to the
body.
Haggerty says the expense thus far in
| Cured in the preparation of the body for
burial will be borne by him in his official
capacity.
He asks the court to issue a decree re-
quiring the defendant to turn the body
over to him.
An injunction order was signed by
Judge Clancy before the complaint was
filed, and when the filing was made it
was discovered that the number threw
the case into the court of Judge Lindsay.

ARE DISMISSED
FOUR CASES EASILY DISPOSED

ONE INVOLVED PLACERS
IN THE PIONEER DISTRICT,
Another Was a Controversy Over Title

head County.

There are three mining suits in equity;
and n at law in the United States fed
eral courts over which Judge Knowles

handed In by attorneys in the various
cases at this mornings session of court.
The first suit dismissed was that Of r.
D. Bartlett against r. J. Moore and 9TH
'ers. filed July II, 1899. Bartlett DIS a
alleged ownership of the Paw Supa Bar.
Buena Vista Bar, California Bar, Nor
gan Bar, Jones Creek and Arcadia
placer mining claims. all located in the
unorganized Pioneer Mining district of
this state. A further recitation of facts
was to the effect that the plaintiff own
ed the water right and ditch conducting
water from Pioneer Creek to these
claims. and unlawfully took charge of the
%sluices, fumes and other mining ppara
tus, and since then have continued to
appropriate to their own use the gold
from the mines in question, despite the
formal protest of plaintiff. Accordingly
the u was petitioned for an injunc-
ton preventing defendants from further
~encroaching on plaintiffs property n a
separate suit at law was brought for DAM
ages in the sum of $4,000. computed to be
the value of the gold already taken out
of the mines by defendants.
Both suits were dismissed on motion Of
counsel for plaintiff.
The suit in equity of Harry S. Wales
and Frank Strickfaden against John F.
Forbis, was dismissed at the request of
Alex Laist. of counsel for plaintiff, and

sal filed with Clerk Stevens by plaintiffs

ed a claim on March 4, 1899, in Beaver
head county. known as the Happy

two-fifths interest to Strickfaden.
On Sept. %, 1899, the complaint further
recited, Forbis made application in the
United States Ian Office at Helena for a
patent to said claim under name of the
Daisy Bell" This action of Forbis tend
a suit to settle the question of ownership
was brought in the district court of
Beaverhead county and was afterward
transferred to the federal courts on pc
tition of defendant through his legal rep
resentatives.
In the equity suit of r. j. Moore and
V. w. Grace against John O'Rourke and
r. D. BARTLETT a decree of dismissal was
| granted by Judge Knowles on the state
ment of Geo. NJ. Bourquin, attorney for
the plaintiff, that an agreement between
the parties a been reached by stipula-
ton.

GILLMAN'S BOARD BILL.
Agent Failed to Turn the Money Over
to Landlady.

The payment of a board bill amounting
to $109 is at present a matter of conten-
ton among four persons i his city. It
is OF an ordinary case.
When Edwin H. Gilman, who killed
Dan D. Sullivan in Dublin gulch and was
acquitted of the crime, was in Butte he
boarded for a time with Mrs. Mary Ward
and wound up by owing her a bill of $1O9.
This money was sent to a man in town
by Gillman's father for Mrs. Ward, but
it is now claimed she never received it
and has taken steps to get it by placing
the bill in the hands of a collector. Gill
man junior, Gilman senior, Mrs. Ward
and the collector make up the contending
party. The collector is an up-to-date
man in his business and promises to
make it warm for the person to whom the
money was sent by Gilman senior if it is
not delivered. He has positive proof of

Where It Rains Frogs.

Every once in awhile stories are brought out about extraordinary show CTS of fish, of bloody snow, etc. the latest thing being of ship captain far out on the Atlantic who ran into dust shower so heavy he had to set his crew shoveling the dust from the decks when the weight began to get danger ous. To this be there added tale:
 It rains frogs in Arizona. The old timers believe there is no doubt of 1t. though they cannot explain whence the frogs were originally lifted" But this much is straight-let there be sum- mer rain along the line of the southern Pacific in southwestern Arizona, and behold the next morning every little pool has 6 myriad of little lean green frogs with marvellous croaking powers. They don't wait for nightfall like their more civilized brothers elsewhere. but keep up the music by day as by night. They live where water comes only about once . year. They can't live over the interim under the sun baked black rocks. They assuredly haven't hopped from the Colorado river, and they are all of . size to boot If they didn't come from the ground or from the river, they must have come from the skies.
 And that's what the Hassayampers firmly believe. Graphic.

VERY MUCH MIXED UP
The Peculiar Claims of A. Klinkow-
 stein Upon the Receiver.

The afternoon session of the United States district court was occupied yes- terday with the suit of Alexander KlinkOwstein, whom all the pioneers of the city will remember as one of the foremost speakers at those pioneer gatherings. Some of them have also reason to remember his New York & Alaska Mining company. J. R. Neill was long time ago appointed receiver of this company, and Commissioner Sehlbrede yesterday presented claim against the receiver, on behalf of MT, Klinkowstein, for sSOOO, money ad- vanced the corporation before its fail ure.
 It was shown that of the $500, 900 of stock of the association MT. Klinkow- stein held $499, coo, and the court dis allowed the claim, properly holding that Klinkowstein was the whole thing and was simply presenting claim against his own insolvent estate. Also by his own testimony he had assigned the tlaim to his brother to evade the bankruptcy law, and there was no proof that It had been assigned back to him, or that he was the owner.
 Another claim for $9OO was presented on the part of the brother, Jacob Klinkowstein, for services rendered. MT. Jennings and MT. Kelsey appeared for other parties interested in the suit.
