EX. GOVERNOR RICHARDS
SAYS THE COUNTRY
Is PROSPEROUS.

Ex-Goy. j. E.. Richards returned yes
terday from a business trip to Chicago,
Philadelphia, New York and Boston. MI.
Richards, some months since, negotiated
the sale Of the Lizzie, Red Jacket and
a portion of the Hesperus to Delaware
capitalists for a consideration of nearly
half a million dollars and his trip east
was partly in connection with tina deal.
When asked by an Inter Mountain re-
porter this morning when work OF devel-
opment would begin on the claims, Mr..
richards replied that he was not priv
LEGGED at this time to give out anything
for publication.
Il have found everybody talking pros
perity from the standpoint of general
business In the east. said Mr.. Richards.
New York and Boston, however, whera
the mining interests of the west are CEN
tered are not now in the mood for specu-
lation. Money is tight and the mining
stock market has almost collapsed"
What cause was assigned for this con-
dition of affairs" Mr.. Richards was ask
ed.
"A prominent business mar Of State
street, Boston, told me that the drop in
stocks and he failure Of the two banks
there last December had wiped out
about $50, 600, 10000 and had so upset bust
ness In mining circles that it would be
several weeks yet before normal condi-
tons could be established :"
Mr.. Richards, who is supervisor of cen
sus for Montana says that the applica-
lions for enumerators in some portions
of the state are coming in very slowly and
ne feels that in order to get enumerators
to do the work in the sparsely settled dis
tricts he will be obliged to do a great deal
of correspondence.

John Murphy was arrested this morn

was preferred by Mrs. Murphy, the I'M

ANOTHER CLERK
GIVES AN OPINION.
To the Inter Mountain:

To the Inter Mountain:
Seeing the various articles written for
publication in your paper ON the 6 o'clock
movement, 1 humbly beg your valuable
assistance in placing my views on that
subject before the clerks of our respected
city, likewise the merchants and citi-
zens. Before going any further I will
say that in my article I shall make some
statements which l am willing to prove
and will ask you to refer all parties
wishing such proof to me, when I shall
be pleased to place my proofs before
them. ! am a clerk in a store in this
city M get a certain amour of money
in compensation for my labor. Since the
agitation Of this movement I have made
it my business to inquire of a large num-
Der of working men their views and con-
venience to this 6 o'clock closing busi-
ness, the result of which I find that fully
80 per cent of my advisers plainly OPP
pose 1T on the ground of it being unfair
and limiting their purchasing power to
a time when a man works day shift only
(of which there are a number) to Satur-
day nights, when stores will be allowed
to keep open after 6 o'clock. l have also
ascertained since this agitation COM
menced that my employer contemplates
cutting dow my salary should he need
to close his place of business at the hour
agitated for, and I also ascertained that
he is not the only one who intends doing
SO, but notice has already been given by
other employers as we'll. While it is q
fact that the schedule of store employees
Is regulated by the Clerks union, it is
also certain that the employer will
eventually be entitled to some recourse.
and the clerks of this city will never
know that our until it befalls them.
This movement which is being fought for
so hard should be we'll considered before
active and final steps are taken.

was published in the Cosmopolitan ma
gazine. Entrance was had to the cave
by a descent of 40 feet by means Of a
rope attached to a tree. So far as the
party went there was no carbonic acid
gas encountered to drive the party back
to the upper world. On the first floor
was found the skeleton of an un%fortunat e
buffalo, which a been evidently fallen

Not Permitted to Practice In
Police Court.
ORDER SURPRISED HIM
Judge Had Told Him Privately That
the Action Would be Taken
Minor Offenders.

BurtMarsh received his judicial quietus
in Judge Sullivan's court this morning
The finish was somewhat startling,
About three weeks ago Marsh was the
central figure in an episode which oc-
CURED in police court. He put in APP
| pearance as counsel for Red" McNally,
who was charged with vagrancy. Nc
Nany repudiated him and told the cour,
Marsh had volunteered to defend him
free Of cost and then had induced Nc
Nally's friends to advance money tc
Marsh to defend him. Deputy County
Attorney Kelly, who represented the
state, addressed the court, treated Marsh
to a red hot roast, concluding with the
suggestion that Marsh be excluded from
practicing in the police court in the fu-
ture. Marsh, after attempting a lame
defense, left the court room, and later
was told by the judge in a private con-
versation that he would not be permit
ted to practice in police court in the fu-
ture.
Marsh was in police court his morn
Ing, for the first time since the incident
in question. When the case Of Fred
Savage, charged with being the amanu-
ensis Of a woman of the bad lands, was
called Marsh rose and stated that he was
the prisoners couns and entered a plea
Of not guilty.
This court makes an ORDER" said
Judge Sullivan with considerable en-
phasis, "forbidding Burt Marsh to prac-
tice before it, for conduct unbecoming
a lawyer and a gentleman"
Marsh, somewhat surprised. requested
that the order be made a matter Of rec
ord.
1.-THE clerk will enter the order on the
records of the court" said Judge Sulli-
van, and the incident closed.
Savage entered a plea Of not guilty and
the cas- was continued untM Friday.
Savage is the man who was the cause Of
the fatal quarrel between Eugene Lane
and his mistress, Josephine Blancheau,
which occurred in the city about six
months ago. Lane shot the woman in
the side and then shot himself, dying
almost instantly. The girl recovered
and is supposed to have become the mis-
tress of Savage.
Robert Glenn, who was arrested last
night on complaint of his wife, pleaded
guilty to the charge of wife beating.
He said he was under the influence Of
liquor at the time, else he would not have
committed the assault. Judge Sullivan
said he considered such conduct brutal
and cowardly, but would take into con-
sideration the fact that Glenn was in an
irresponsible condition at the time, and
fixed the fine at $25.
Mike Smith of Centerville. who IL
charged with a like %offense pleaded no.
guilty. His bonds were fixed at SOC.

by some able speakers and counselors,
nome of whom are either merchants d

This matter Is one that should be de-
