MYER FINED A HUNDRED.
PENALTY FOR INTERFERING

Will Appeal the Case and Remained in
Custody Until He Had Put Up
5000 Bond.

NJ. Myers interference with Officer Ell
derkin, while the latter was trying TO
arrest young Percy Ehrlich several days
ago, cost him 500 in police court this
morning. That was the amount of the
fine. The trimmings come extra. No
tice of appeal was given and the appeal
bond was fixed at $500. Thu appeal bon
was the occasion of a little tilt between
City Attorney Lamb and Attorney
Mackel, Myers counsel. Myer wanted
to go on his own recognizance until his
bond could be prepared. Mr.. Lamb
wouldn't stand for it. Mackel insisted,
but the city attorney was firm.
You insisted on living up to the codes
in the matter of trial by jury said he,
and I will insist that we live up to the
codes in this matter"
Finally the attorneys agreed upon a
cash bond Of 5000. Myer started to leave
the court room to get the money.
lone minute, Mr.. Myer," said the city
attorney. You are in the custody of
this court and have just been fined. You
have no right to leave this room until
you produce your appeal bond. I must
insist that you remain here
And Myer tarried.
Attorney Mackel then went out and
got the money on Myers check, and
Myer was allowed to take his departure
The case was tried Saturday, a jury
of six returning a verdict of guilty, and
the passing of sentence was deferred
until his morning.

THE ACTION
WAS ILLEGAL
SPECIAL LEVY TO BUY COUNTY
PROPERTY SHOULD NOT
HAVE BEEN MADE.
ACCORDING TO OPINION
OF ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Such Levy Only Made Without PEG.
pies Consent When Expenditure
is Less Than $4,000.

Attorney General Nolan has given an
opinion on the law relating to the pur-
chase of property for a county.
A short time ago the county comission-
ers here bought the vacant property west
Of the court house for the purpose of en-
larging the Jail, paying for it about $25,-
600. and in order to pay for it levied an
extra two mills tax last year. 1t was the
intention to levy another two mills this
year with which to pay for the proposed
new Jail. Now, however, it has been dis
covered by the attorney general that
more than $4,000 cannot be expended for
a special purpo without the consent of
the voters of the ounty Among other
things the attorney says: My view on
the subject is that it matters not whether
the money is in the treasury or not where
the expenditure aggregates over $4,000
for a single purpose such expenditure
cannot be made without the consent of
the people
The opinion was not rendered for the
county commissioners of this county, but
at the request of w. NJ. tombstone, county
attorney of Yellowstone county. The res
idents of Billings desired to build Il bridge
across the Missouri river at Canyon Fer
~. but not knowing whether they could
go higher han &c. 900 without the consent
of the residents of the county. Mr.. John
ston referred the matter to Mr.. Nolan and
the opinion was the result, it having been
submitted on the 22d of last June.
The ounty commissioners here are of
the opinion that the decision of the attor-
ney general applies to this county or any
| other county of the state They have not
decided what course to pursue to over
come it.

PINKERTON Detective HERE.
BUTTE VISITED BY SUPERINTEN-
DENT VALLINS OF ST. PAUL.
Has no Doubt of Hurst's Guilt-Com
ments on Causes Of Criminality
. in This City.

w. A.. Vallins, superintendent Of the
st. Paul branch of the Pinkerton Detec-
tive gency spent last week in Butte
and Anaconda. With the customary
reticence of Pinkerton men, Mr.. Vallins.
who is a very pleasant gentleman, had
nothing to say of the object of his visit,
but conversed freely on other matters.
Mr.. Vallins spent a month on the Hurst
case at Glendive before Hurst's conVic-
ton. and he says there was not the
slightest doubt of Hurst's guilt. While
the violence vas purely circumstantial,
there were a great many matters which
We're not made public, all of which tend
ed to show that Hurst was the murderer
of Dominick Cavanaugh.
"You have a lively town here in
Butte" laid the detective. "and in our
business we hear of it quite frequently.
Back east we have the impression that it
is the jumping off jlace for most of the
| adventurous characters of the country.
In more than half of the cases of mys-
! FERROUS disappearance which our agency
! is called upon to investigate, the parties
have been traced to Butte, n there
their identity seems to end. Only a
short time ago a woman called upon me
at the ST. Paul Office and enlisted our
services in the search for her husband.
He had taken $1,000 in money and start
ed west with the intention of locating
somewhere in Montana. For months
she had not heard from him., although
he had always been a good husband.
Our men traced him to Butte where he
had been seen around town for a couple
of days. Then he completely disap-
peared.
Butte has more money in circulation
than any other town on the continent
That fact naturally attracts the adven-
turers and soldiers of fortune, who per-
haps have been unlucky in the east. II
may account, too, for the large per-
centage of murders and suicides in
Butte as many of them are restless peo-
pie who care little for life. The laxity
of the laws in Furnishing murderers
however, to my mind, is responsible en-
tirely for the large number of killings in
Butte each year."
