the trial Of said cause and that the am.
davit Of Wheeler ID false.
Perrett recites that about q week after
the verdict was returned he heard q gen-
eral street rumor to the effect that the
plaintiff claimed that the jurors in the
case were guilty Of some misconduct
(Which was not mentioned in the rumor)
and that the plaintiff intended to have
each juror examined as to his actions
and generally about the matter. He
says he knew nothing of the truth of the
rumor regarding the matter and being
personally acquainted with MI. Weed ne
stopped at his office about Feb. 10, 1900.
and simply asked him what he knew
about the truth Of the rumor and IL he
knew that charges were made or were
going to be made by the plaintiff agains.
the jurors. Mr.. Weed informed him that
he had heard the rumor but knew moth
ing about 1t. The affidavit cOncludes:
Il had performed my duty as a juror
honestly Inc impartially and I felt curt
GUS and interested to n 10 what chargeaa
the plaintiff would undertake to put forth
against the jurors or n of them and
this led me to make the inquiry. / was
perfectly willing to be examined"
Mr.. Perrett also states that he had read
the affidavit of c. H. Cooper and ad-,
mits that after h rendition Of the ver-'
dict John MacGinnis invited the affiant
saloon to drink. Among Others present
was Ex-senator w. f. Sanders. There
were perhaps 20 persons in the place,
some of who including himself had been
in there prior to the time Mr.. MacGin-
mis- entered. Mr.. MacGinnis invited,
them to drink some champagne which
they did.
Sam McMurran states that he knows
Joseph N. Kenck, one of the jurors, that
said kenck did not visit any saloons with
him in the evenings and the afflant
never furnished him with any nickels to
play the nickel-in-the-SlOt machines. nor
did he from the winnings from playing
such nickels purchase drinks for the
party, nor did Kenck when he wished a
cigar or drink hail affiant on the street
and get such cigar or drink. h only
time such occurred was when Kenck saw
a cigar protruding from atlantis pocket
and took it saying he would smoke with
him.
The matter had not been reached up
to a late hour this afternoon. Mr.. Weed
has prepared an anidavlt setting forth
the facts connected with Wheeler's allie
cations. which will be read to the court
supplemented by a personal explanation
from Mr.. Weed.
Mr.. Weed emphatically denies all Of
Wheeler's allegations except as to the
visit of Mr.. Heinze and Carlos Warf1eld
to his law office. The visit was made in
connection with the law suit. Mr.. Weed
being one of Heinze's counsel. He de-
MES that any of the jurors visited his
office prior to or during the trial except
on business not in any way connected
with the law suit.
Wheeler he says Is a young mar whom
he befriended. Just as soon as Mr..
Weed learned of the aff1davit yesterday
evening. he had a subpoenaed issued from
the United States court in Helena for
Wheeler's detention, but the young man
had taken an early train and was out of
the state.

John Eakins Against South
Main Street Opening.
HIS PROPERTY
Has EMPLOYED Attorneys to Fight the
Matter-Alleges $500
Damages.

John Eakins, a brick maker of this
city. has come to the conclusion tina the
extension Of South Main street across the
fiat would injure his property and has
filed with the county commissioners a
protest against the proposed roadway and
the report of the road viewers, Messrs. j.
III. Lynch. A. A. Mcmillan and Dan
Brown, which was submitted to the COM
missioners a few days ago. The road
viewers recommended that the street be
extended and gave the amount which in
their opinion those whose property it
would cross would be damaged. They
placed Mr.. Eakins' damage at $50 and his
benefits at $500, but Mr.. Eakins says in
amount He has employed Attorneys
Mediation & Cotter to fight the matter
for him provided it becomes necessary to
engage in a legal conflict over the propo-
sition. Two paragraphs in his protest
reads as follows:
1.-The undersigned further represents
that the laying out of a public highway,
as represented, is not and would not be
for the benefit of the public in general,
but that said proceedings sought to be
ldhVAA VI AAdA d1AO Sdlu 1OAuWdy CSIaD-
lished for the especial benefit Of the sign
ers of the application and those associat-
ed or interested with them in GER
tain lands and so-called additions
or additions to the city of Butte.
And the undersigned respectfully repre-
sents and alleges h fact to be that the
establishment of the roadway over said
premises would damage himsin the sum
of 81, 500. and that the laying out of the
same would not in anywise be to his ben
eft: and that no benefits would accrue
from the amount of damages which he
would thus sustain; that such roadway
ii laid out as proposed would pass over
a large and valuable clay bed belonging
to the undersigned from which he is OBJ
liged to secure clay for the purpose Of
manufacturing brick.
And the undersigned hereby respect
full notified your honorable body that
he will not accept either the sun of $3.50
specified by the board of viewers as be-
ing the amount of damages over and
above the amount of benefit to his said
premises or the sum of $3.50 specified as
the damage he void sustain thereto:
and that he did not n will not o n
sent to the laying out or opening the
said proposed roadway, and does and
will represent and show that the pro-
posed highway is not a public necessity
and will not be Of convenience to the
public generally or to the residents of
South Main street"

william NJ, Evrrt. a. /. wit.

William NJ. Evarts dearly loved a
johe-so dearly, indeed. that once, when
secretary of state, he came nigh upon
being the death of one of his subordi-
mates. A consul in the West Indies
wrote home stating that his health in
that climate was bad and asking for
transfer. At that time there happened
to be a vacancy in northern Sweden,
and to it the astonished and dismayed
consul was transferred instanter by
Mr.. Evarts. 1t was not what he had
bargained for, and, as an icebound
winter was change that would have
meant translation for him to another
sphere, the secretary finally relented
and gave him berth elsewhere
At one time in the department. of
state new elevator man had been en-
ployed who did not know Mr.. Evarts
by sight. In his car was conspicuous
sign to the effect that by order of the
secretary of state smoking was prohib-
tied. Late in the day the secretary
boarded the car in company with a ia
nous senator, the latter smoking Il CT
gar. The new man promptly touched
the smoker on the elbow and said,
pointing at the notice. Cant you read
that sign?' Mr.. Evarts promptly tore
down the offending notice and, turning
to the elevator man, said: What sign?
don't see any" The attendant, sus-
pecting something, wisely held his
peace. but he followed the pair out
and asked the guard at the door who
the little chap with the large head
was. The guard told him.-New York
