An Answer Filed.

The answer OF the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Wesern Railroad company
to the bill in equity filed some time
ago by the Tripp Farm Land company
in its suit against the railroad COM
pany was filed yesterday by Willard.
Warren & Knapp, representing the de-
fendant company.
The suit was brought to prevent the
railroad company from filing in cut
vert Just north of Trips crossing, on
which the main line crosses Bedford
street. 1t is contended by the land
company that 1t bought the land with
the expressed understanding that this
culvert was to be maintained. 1t was
provided for, 1t is contended, when the
railroad went through the Tripp farm
land to assure a safe means Of getting
from one section to the other of the
several farm lands.
In the answer 1t is set forth by the
company that it Is under no obligations
whatever to keep the culvert open. and
quotes from it's deeds for its right of
way at that point to prove the fact.

REFUSES TO MARRY HIM.
Marie Heath Didn't Want James M.
Savage for a Husband.

A marriage license was issued late
Saturday evening by the clerk of the
district court and thereby hangs. a
tale. The principals were James M.
Savage and Marie Heath, both of Bill
ings.
Between the hours of II and 10
O'Clock Sunday night Justice of the
Peace Kelly was aroused by a loud
rapping on the door to his room and a
voice asking "Say, judge, can you per-
form a wedding ceremony?' The
judge answered that he could, but the
parties were to present themselves
at his Office inside of half an hour.
The time rolled around and it brought
to the judges Office, a man and
woman, accompanied by about half a
dozen gentlemen friends. The princi-
pals We're Mr.. Savage and Miss Heath
When the couple stood up before JUS
tice Kelly to have the knot tied the
woman said, II refuse to marry this
man." Judge Kelly is a little diff
cult of hearing and did not under
stand what the woman said, which
neoessitated her repeating her words.
The judge asked her if she was likely
to marry the man at any future time,
to which she gave a reply that she did
not think so. The game was off and
the party left the judges office.

THEIR SILVER WEDDING.
Hon. and Mrs. George R. Milburn Enter
tain Their Friends.

1t is quite an event when a married
couple can entertain the friends of
years standing on the celebration of
their twenty-fifth wedding anniver-
sary, says Saturdays Yellowstone
Journal. When the OCCASION partakes
of the nature of a farewell reception
prior to assuming the duties of a high
er position by the head of the family
and when nearly one-half of the guests
present can recall the time when, ten
years previous, they had attended the
fifteenth anniversary it forms a
unique combination of circumstances
which the host and hostess can recall
with pleasure and pride.
There were nearly 500 invitations
issued to last nights reception, one
half of which were sent to friends
outside Of the city. AS the Milburn
home was entirely too small to accom-
lmodate the large number of guests
expected, two receptions were held,
the first from 8 to 10 O'Clock and the
second from 10 to II O'Clock. By
this arrangement there was plenty of
room for all and the stream of callers
DESTROYS Of offering their congratula-
tions was continued from 8 O'Clock
until midnight.
The reception was one of the hap
piest social affairs ever held in Miles
City and while the amenities were
strictly observed there was a spirit of
good fellowship displayed that could
only come from long friendships.
Despite the fact that the cards dis
tinctly stated mo presents" there
were a number Of rich and handsome
gifts in the emblematic silver from
friends. both at home and abroad, who
desired to present some testimony of
their regard.

FOUR MORE
Reapportionment of Legislative Districts
Will Be Made This Winter.

One Of the results of the recent CEN
sus may be a reapportionment of the
legislative districts of the state. With
little exception there is an increase in
every county, and a demand comes
from many localities for a readjust-
ment Of the legislative districts.
The Encouragement does not contem.
plate a change in senatorial districts,
unless Rosebud and DAILY counties are
carved out of Deer; Lodge and Custer
counties, and then the increase will
only be made to apply to the addition
in the number Of counties.
Many believe that the present basis
of representation in the senate, of one
from each county, is satisfactory, and
as there is no demand for a change,
the existing system will doubtless be
continued.
All the counties show a gain in pop
ulation during the last 10 years with
the exception Of Jefferson and
Meagher, which show some loss. This
loss, however, is not an actual loss,
but is due to the fact that n of the
newer counties was cut out of Jeffer-
son and Meagher, taking away a large
part of their population. Meagher
county lost considerable territory to
Cascade and Broadwater county was
formed from portions of Meagher and
Jefferson.
If two additional counties are ad-
ded, and counties given representa-
ton in the legislation on the basis of
member for every 5000 people,
the Legislative assembly will number
112 on joint ballot, or SO in the lower
house Of the Legislature.
Silver Bow and Cascade will receive
the greatest benefit from the change.
The membership in the house from
Silver Bow county will be increased
from II to 16, and in Cascade from
five to nine members. Based on the
census returns, and allowing one rep
resentative for each 5 1000 people the
reapportionment will give each coun-
ty representation as follows:
Choteau would be increased from
two to four; Teton from 1 to 2; and
Valley and Choteau would probably
be given / jointly; Deer Lodge would
still have 6 as at present; Granite and
Jefferson would also probably be
given a joint representative; Beaver
head would have Q; Broadwater Ill
Carbon 3; Custer 3; Dawson l; Fer
gus 2; Flathead 8: Gallatin 8; Gran
tie +; Jefferson 2; Lewis and Clarke
z; Madison 8; Meagher l !; Missoula 81;
Park 8; Ravalli 8; Sweet Grass III
Valley l; Yellowstone 2.
The total membership under this
apportionment would be Sc in the
lower house or ITO i'll the entire legis-
latnre. - |

A DIABoL1cAL ACT.
Dogs Placed in I. L. Whitney's Hare
. Pen-Twelve Hares Killed.

Dogs Placed IN i. H.. Whltney'S Hare
Pen-Twelve Hares Killed.
=. Some person without the fear Of
God or man in his heart performed a
low-lived act the other night which
meant a loss Of about 500 to l. L.
Whitney.
Last summe Mr.. Whitney had a
pair Of fine Belgian hares sent to him
by an uncle in California. As these
animals multiply rapidly it wasn't
but a few months until he had IS fine
hares. He had a pleasant home made
for them and they were thriving.
Saturday night about IL O'Clock Mr..
Whitney was aroused by a neighbor,
who stated that something was wrong
with the animals as they had been
causing a great noise for an hour or
more. Mr. Whitney Immediately
arose and went out to investigate,
finding that. two dogs were in the cage
and had already killed IL of the
hares. It didn't take very long for
Mr.. Whitney to kill the dogs, first
shooting them and then beating in
their heads with an axe. The next
morning On going QUO to the cage he
found that one of the dogs had been
carried away.
That the act was a malicious one
goes without saying. The home of
the hares was a strong woven wire
one, covered over the top in a like
manner, with a door, which is secure
~ fastened each night. When Mr..
Whitney went out to investigate and
found the dogs therein, he also dis
covered that the door was fastened,
which clearly shows that the dogs did
not get in the cage of their own ac-
cord, but were placed therein. Then
the removal of one of the dead dogs
during the night so as not to raise sus-
picion all the more goes to prove that
some person was the instigator of the
diabolical act. One of the dogs was a
yellow cur and the other a black.
There is a probability that the owners
will be discovered when Mr.. Whitney
hopes to make someone pay dearly.
