N. 7. ADAMS. FOUND
DEAD In HIS BED,

Michael T. Adams was found dead in
his bed today in a lodging house at 1924
South Montana street. The discovery
was made by Assistant City Detective
Charles Ray, who, with E.. L. Scott, an
old friend of the dead man, was making
a search for him. Adams was last seen
alive on Tuesday night in Murphy's sa-
loon on Lower Main street. His sudden
disappearance alarmed his friend Scott,
who went to police headquarters and
asked for official aid in the search. De-
tective Ray accompanied Scot to
Adams room and found Adams lying on
the bed dead. The condition of the body
would indicate that Adams a been
dead several days.
Coroner Julien was at once notified,
and caused the remains to be removed to
Sherman's undertaking rooms. The corr
oner made a thorough search of the
premises and came to the conclusion that
Adams death was natural.
The dead man was a plasterer and a
resided in Butte eight or ten years. He
was quite well known among his crafts
men and had only recently been secre-
tary of the Plasterers' Unions. succeeding
the present encumbent in office. He was
abou 50 years of age, n has no rela-
tives in the city. His mother resides
near Kansas City, Mo.

and his answer was. Through friend
ship" AS to the bonds of the Goforths
he had signed them because Brown had
told him they were all right.
At the conclusion Of MI. Mayo's testi-
mony the defendants began preparations
for the presentation of their side, but
the legal representative Of the Butte &
Boston objected to the court hearing
them, basing the opposition o n the fact
that at a hearing in the same action q
few weeks ago George Gemmel had been
adjudged guilty of contempt.
An argument followed, the defendants
attorneys maintaining that even though
Gemanel should be considered in con-
tempt ne had a right to be heard in the
matter before the court. Further, they
claimed to be able to show that the
plaintiffs had no right to h land; that
the receivers certificate issued from the
department Of the general land office for
the ground had been cancelled.
At the conclusion of the expressions OF
opinion Judge Clancy sustained the re-
quest made by the plaintiffs, declaring
the other side to be I'M contempt, and the
hearing was ended.

"B'S" IS RIGHT.

To the Editor of the Inter Mountain.
Sir: Would you oblige a constant sub
scriber to our valuable paper by decid-
ing the following difference of opinions,
through the columns of the Inter Noun
tain:
"A" has been in the United States a
number of years and declared his inten-
tons by taking out his first papers on his
arrival, but has lost them, and has never
taken out his second or full citizens pa
pers.
''B" says he will be obliged to get a copy
of the first and pay for taking out his
second papers.
&c" says that OBS" arguments are both
wrong. "A" can get his full papers by
proving he has been in the United States
over five years and of good character.
Respectfully, 3D."
,'B's' contention is right; and the cost
of taking out the second papers is$2. so.
In order to vote legally "A" must have
his first n final papers. II he has lost
his first he must secure a copy Of them
and back them by his final papers.
AS to the contention of &C." to the eff
feet that a man can get his final papers
by proving he has been in the United
States over five years and possesses a
good character, il he does not possess his
first papers he must prove to the court
that he came to the country when unse,
Is years of age.

GRAND LARCENY
CHARGE CANNOT
BE MADE TO HOLD

Miss Alicia Gorman, a teacher of
music in this city, was arrested by Con-
stable Joe ok this morning ON, a
charge of grand larceny, preferred by a
Mrs. Haskell, but the county attorney
stated this afternoon that he intended
to dismiss the action without ceremony,
as there was nothing to warrant the
charge. The complaint was drawn by
Attorney Holland and filed in Justice
Lewis court in Walkervllle, and al
though the arrest occurred, Miss German
was not restrained of her liberty.
1t seems that about a year Miss
German invented what she believed to be
a patent envelope, but, not possessing
means with which to secure the patent,
she applied to Mrs. Haskell for the
necessary amount, which was $3.50. Mrs.
Haskell let her have the money ON an
agreement that she would receive a third
interest in the patent. A letter written
by Miss German to the patent office at
Washington concerning the envelope
brought back the Information h a some
of the inventive ideas encompassed in
the envelope conflicted with those of
other patents on the same thing, and
therefore nothing could be one with
hers. This left Mrs. Haskell without her
proposed third interest and her $3.50, n
the complaint for grand larceny was the
result.

City Clerk Would MOT Certify
!. To Nomination.
COURT MUST DECIDE IT
Second Ward Nominee, h Is Alleged
Did Not File His Certificate
on Time.

City Clerk Callan to-day refused to
the republican nominee for alderman in
the second ard and the matter will in
all probability find it's way into the courts
for adjudication.
Attorney j. N. Kirk yesterday filed the
regular nominations of the republicans,
which included the name of Robert TAFT
as the nominee from the second ward.
Mr.. TAFT, however, sent in his declination
several days ago and the declination was
flied yesterday with the city clerk. Just
before noon to-day Mr.. Oates presented
his certificate of nomination., III City
Clerk Callan refused to receive it, on the
advice, 1t is understood, of several demo-
cratic attorneys, who hold that the GER
tificate, according to the political code,
must be filed not more than 80 days and
not less than three days prior to the elec-
ton.
Mr.. Callan when asked to-day why he
had refused to file the certificate referred
the reporter to a section of the political
code of Montana which stated that the
certificates must be filed at least within
three days of the day of election. The
election, he said, would take place Mon
day next and he held that the time for
filing certificates expired at IL o'clock
last night. He added that he had re-
ceived a legal opinion on the matter and
had been instructed to take this course.
Mr.. Kirk to-day said that although'the
certificate of nomination of Mr.. Oates
had not been filed until to-day it was
a perfectly legal proceeding and would
persisted in his refusal to file the certi1-
cate he said he would at once apply to
the courts for a writ of mandamus to
compel him to do so.

B0er Position Weak.

New York, March 30.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Ladysmith says: The
Biggersberg range, where the Beers have
taken up their new position, is a spur of
the Drakensburg range. 1t is high to-
ward the south and forms a natural
strategical barrier to General Buffers
advance. The weakness of this position
lies in its extent. There is no doubt that
General Butler will find an opening
through which he can reach the higher
plateau and valuable coal fields around
Dundee, thus re-opening the Natal
mines. Strong Boer outposts are hover
ing in the vicinity of Vessels Mex and
A%llspont.

COMMENT ON
CLARkS CASE
Special to the Inter Mountain.

special 10 the Inter Mountain.
Washington, March 3O.-A notable
change of sentiment is seen here since
yesterdays publication of the Posts six
column extracts from briefs in the Clark
case. For the first time the reading
pubic is given a complete inside view
of Montana politics and an explanation
of the menorialists' plan. Many sena.
tors silent before are now discussing the
latter in the light of Faulkner's argu-
ment. 1t is reported now the reformers
are alarmed and insisting on new witt
nesses in order to keep Clark in sus-
pense as long as possible and impair his
usefulness to the state. Sanders is re-
ported summoned here for private ex-
animation at the request of the purifiers.
The Post in a leading editorial says:
Mr.. Clark has been charged with pro-
curing his seat by bribery. cut his ac-
cusers have admitted that they resorted
not only to bribery but to falset>ed, to
a violation of the postal laws and to all
most every form of villainy and mean
ness. Thus we have had the astounding
spectacle of virtue championed by vice
and purity upheld by reeking and UNI
clean hands,"
Clark's enemies claim the committee is
six to three against him. His friends
claim seven to two the other way.

along the beach front were hurriedly
abandoned, the families fleeing to

is 10 have the honorary degree of doctor OF laws
conferred upon him on April so by McGin Uni
versitv Two interesting letters from Captain
Mahan TO Principal Peterson are made public
here. In one he says:
am very glad to know that any utterance
of mine has given satisfaction 10 the people or
Canada At this period Of the worlds history,
whatever tends to draw closer the ties OF kin

dial mutual understanding IS sure 70 De reacheu
provided those of who realize the Importance
can have the patience TO bear with the extrava-
gances of opponents on one side or the other.
In the second letter he makes the following
observations on international arbitration:
I do not greatly value arbitration, except in
deciding pure matters Of fact. As regards the
relations of the two peoples. you do not dwell
upon what TO my mind is the crucial necessity
namely patience on the part Of those who think
as do. with the volatile. prejudlced. unthlnk-
ing or malevolent parts OF the community. In a
way Great Britain needs this more than We. be
cause your comparatively homogeneous people
find il hard to understand the violent utter
enCes and professions of nation which has not
vet reached the stage even of being composite
but is simply heterogeneous with prejudices Of
ten akin to the soil In this the Irish are con-
sDicuoIs but even the Germans not wholly
escape although as Americans they have
higher and more intelligent patriotism But II
il is hard for Great Britain TO bear, what is it
TO those of us who see the righteousness and
policy Of the State endangered by such fOuy
and malevolelce as has been shown here lately
There is but thing-patience; faith that as
the elements OF future understanding between
the English speaking peoples exist. they will
progress 10 perfection II only we are patient
in action and in endurance.
