AUTOMOBILE NO CRAZE,

Talking to newspaper man at the
Madison Square Garden on Saturday
evening, an enthusiast on automobile
driving remarked: Nov. don't put
automobiling down as a fad as some
of you writer's do. You can run one
of these machines for a few cents a
day, while it costs dollars every day you
run horse. The original cost is only
about what you would pay for car
riage of frst-class make, and, taking
break-downs and repairs into consider
alton, 1t Is far cheaper to house and
care of horse and carriage. On the
score of economy, therefore, the ma
chine has strong pull for popularity.
Therefore 1t is wrong TO write down the
auto business as craze, passing
fad. Business houses that use them are
constantly increasing in numbers, and
they find the machines a profitable in
vestment. Our club is constantly grow
ing in membership, and we will soon
have clubhouse that Will be the equal
of any Of that or any of the lesser
clubs In town. We are not fighting the
horse; we are only asking for his proper
place for the machine as a business or
pleasure wagon or carriage"

and James M. Sinclair for the receiver.
J. S. Harris and G. M. Sinclair were
sworn as witnesses, and after some
argument the motion was denied. It
appeared that the receiver had entered
into an agreement with the attorney by
which the latter was to do the work
for $50 per month, and although there
was some misunderstanding in the mat
ter the court was not disposed to make
any great allowance.
In the same case this afternoon peti-

exploded the revolver that he was carry
ing to frighten away two men that he
believed were following him. The judge
however, believed that Carlson only
wanted to let the bad men in town know
that he was on earth and exploded his
gun for that purpose. He told the pris.
oner that Butte was a peace-loving and
IaW-abiding community, and under the
circumstances believed that the new ar
rival would make himself popular with
tine city government by contributing $40

AN INTEREST
ING QUESTION
DEVELOPS IN THE TRIAL OF A
BUTCHER IN THE DISTRICT
COURT,
POINT TURNED ON
STANDARD SCALES,
Each County Must Have Standard
Weights and Measures Known to
Be Correct.

the trial of j. l.. Kreig, accused OF
having sold the Nagle sisters meat and
charging them according to his scales
was commenced in Judge Clancy's court
today. The case is one that was first
launched and tried in justice court, and
appealed to the district body by the de-
fendant. The county attorney and his
chief deputy are representing the state
and Attorney j. L. Wines. the defendant
The jury comprises J. V. johnson, W. E.
Cloves, r. Clawson, Samuel Shovel, JOS
eph Mcfarland. Patrick Keefe, Peter
Cordett, Thomas Williams, James Mar
tin, George Tuckett, Thomas Wilcox and
James Whaler.
During the morning proceedings m
interesting point in the law was raised
by the defense and presented to the court.
The Nagle sisters keep a restaurant In
the summer of 1898 they bought their
meats from Mr.. Kreig; who kept butch
er shop in West Granite street. The meat
was all weighed on Mr.. Kreigs scalss
and then weighed on the scales of the
Nagle sisters, which made some of the
purchases less in avoirduDois than did
the scales of Mr.. Kreig. The difference in
weights and consequent charges for the
meat resulted in the bringing of the suit
me point raised by MI Wines in be-
half of the defendant related to the STAN
dard Of weight and measures as estab-
l!zhed by congress in 1896 and accepted
by the state of Montana. One of the
Misses NaSle gave testimony as to the
purchases and weight of the meat. and ].
p. Collins, the public administrator fol-
lowed. The latter produced schedule of
hgures as shown by the restaurant scales
and it was a this point that the question
or whether those scales had been tested
by the proper officer before the weighing
was done. Mr.. Wines read the law of
the state on the subject. This law makes
it incumbent upon the secretary of state
10 see to it that each county an dcitv in
Montana is provided with a standard
scales tested and regulated by one in his
own possession known to be absolutely
correct. The county clerk and recorder
is the keeper of scales and measures.
The point was argued until late this
afternoon and, having been injected into
the proceeding as an objection to the tes-
timony along the line of weights and
measures, was overruled by the Judge.
The trial was then proceeded with.
