STORY or HIS CAREER.
Early Struggles and the Success
Which Followed Perseverance.

Which Followed Perseverance.
The death of Philetus Sawyer, which
occurred at Oshkosh this morning, ter
inmates q long and useful life. For
more than half a century Mr.. Sawyer
has been a most conspicuous and lnfuen-
tial factor in the political and industrial
life Of this state. He was a leader in
politics and received every honor that
his home city, his district and the state
could give him. Plain and straightfor-
ward in speech, with a generous dispo-
sition, he attached all classes of men to
him, and it may be said without dis
arrangement of others that no man in the
state had such a host of warm friends.
In a public career covering a period of
fifty years he had many hot political con-
tests, often at great odds, yet he always
won, and his record of twenty-five years
continuous service in Congress has new
er been equaled. OF recent years his
part in politics was that of an onloOker,
but whenever an issue was raised in
which he was personally involved he
showed all his old-time activity.
His Early Struggles.

When he was a year old the family

impoverished by signing notes for others,
and who hoped to repair his fortunes in
a new locality. The son did his share
of the tasks around the home, farm and

years of age he borrowed 500 from an

father and began to work as a sawmill
hand. Before the four years had expired
he had paid his brother and had given
himself two more terms in the district

cessful was he in this venture that four
teen years after purchasing his time he
was ready to emigrate with his wife and
two sons to the great West and take
with him $4,000 in cash as the fruit of his
earnings.
He Had just $4,000.

STATE NEWS

After weeks Of delay, the piers of the
new bridge over the Missouri river at
canyon Ferry are being put into position.
II IS expected that by the time the piers
are placed. other bridge material will be
on the bridge site and tina the work will
go on to completion unless cold weather
should temporarily put a stop to it.
The bridge was to have been complet.
ed last month, but the contractors. the
missouri Valley Bridge & Iron works,
Ct Leavenworth, Kan, was unable to ship
the material on time.
The new calendar of the supreme court
just issued w Henry Rickerts, clerk of

2O4 cases awaiting action by the supreme
court jan. l. Since h four appeals

We're MED. Although the supreme court
bench composed Of three members, it was
unable to gain on it's calendar. On the
contrary, more cases were fled than were
disposed of. The first civil case on the
calendar that will be heard this year was
filed Nov. Is, 1897, which represents prac-
tically the time the court. is behind it's
calendar Other cases filed since then
and advanced on the calendar for cause
have, however, been decided by the court.
The record of work lone by the Nom
tana supreme court is a remarkable one.
although it is unable to keep up with
ITS calendar. There is not a court in the
United States composed of only three
members that does the volume of work
disposed of by the Montana court. and in
many states the courts are much further
behind in their work than in this state.

IN GILLMAN'S FAVOR,
GRIDLEY DEPOSES THAT SULLIVAN
THREATENED HIS SLAYER,

The deposition of Rueben Gridley, one
OF the witnesses for the defense in the
case of the state against Edward H. Gill
man. charged with the murder of Daniel
Sullivan at the Duggan house on Christ
mas night, was taken before Justice
Nichols to-day. Gridley expects to leave
the state. and Attorney Thresher, who
represents the defendant, desired his tes-
tlmony. Gilman was present. The
state was represented by Cornelius F.
Kelly. Grid ey picked up the bullet that
is alleged to have killed Sullivan and in
addition to this fact heard some remarks
alleged to have been addressed by Sulli-
a to Gilman about 6 o'clock in he
evening of the oath. On the witness
stand he said he had heard Sullivan call
Gilman some vile names and tell him
he would kill him. Gridley further said
he had heard Sullivan say to Gilman he
would twist his head off and cut out his
d heart. Gridley said he was filling
the position Of dishwasher at the Duggan
house and. hearing the men quarreiing
in the dining room. had stepped to the
door connecting the kitchen and dining
hall.

THE ONE-HOSS SHAY.

The literary world will be surprised to
learn that Oliver Wendell Holmes ia
nous poem, THE Wonderful One-Hoss

thority by the attorney for the plaintiffs
in a suit which recently came before the
supreme court of Montana. but has also
been quoted with approval by that au-
gust body in it's written opinion, says the
Albany Law Journal. Probably no other
humorous poem has enjoyed greater pop
plarity h this one. 1t is part of the
earliest recollections Of our school days,
and it's lines never fail to excite the ad-
miration n amusement of our mature
years. It's jovial author might we'll have
hoped that this child of his wit and ge-
MUS would be given a place among the
American classics, but even his lively
imagination could hardly have pictured
1t as being woven into the literature of
the law. Undoubtedly it is the first poem
to enjoy this distinction, for never be-

A QUESTION
OF FINANCES
Mining School Trustees Will
Consider it Tonight.
PROVIDE FOR BOND SALE
Will Arrange For School to Open in
September Faculty Will
be Limited.
PROVIDE FOR BOND SALE

The board Of trustees Of the State
School of Mines, recently appointed by
Governor Smith will meet tonight, and
with the retiring members Of the board.
.Messrs. w. w. Dixon, j.. H. Leyson and
that state institution.
What we propose to do is to familiar
lie ourselves with the work. said Gov
ernor Richards, chairman of the new
board, to a reporter for the Inter Mount
ain this morning. The new board has in
structions from the state board to finance
the institution. equip the building as we'll
as the means at hand will permit and
choose a faculty. The most important
matter that we will have to consider is
the schools finances. 1 believe we have
on hand about s25, 200. The a%ppropria-
ton for the fiscal year ending November
80, 1899 was $1,000 and for the fiscal year
ending November 80. 1900, $25, 900. 1 have
no right to speak for the board, but pre-
sumo that the first thing we will do will
be to provide for the sale of bonds with
which to take up the school Of mines war;
rants, the total issue of which is about
$1OO, COO. We hope to realize enough
from the ale Of bonds. after the war
rants have been taken care of, to equip
the building: not as it should be equip
ped, but in a that will permit the
hoo to open next September. We will
be somewhat handicapped in the
matter of selecting a faculty. Our finan-
ces will not permit Of the employment of
a complete corps of instructors at the
beginning, but at the same time we hope
to make a start worthy of the state.
"Inasmuch as the local public gener-
ously come to the relief of the school,
when work was at a %standstill and the
building exposed to the elements at a
loss to the state of. thousands of dollars,
by subscribing money with which to COM
plete it. I hope that the next legislative
assembly will do the proper thing, reim-
burse those who subscribed and pay, in
to the principal. interest on the
subscription. The Fifth legislative as
sembly, inadvertently, I think, repealed
the interest bearing clause of the old law
which allowed the school of mine war;
to bear interest, and this act left
the finances of the institution in bad
shape. When I solicited subscriptions
from the people of Butte l assured them,
that the next legislative assembly would
adjust the matter, and make provision
for the payment of interest on the war
rants issued to subscribers. But the last
legislative assembly was kept so busy
by the senatorial contest that it over
looked this important matter"

OF the situation on Wednesday last. the
Boston Financial News had this to say:
The buying of the coppers continued to
be rather better than the selling. Con-
siderable of the demand, it is understood,
comes from New York and the west. The
rumor. which came from Montana recent
~, to the effect that at the coming meet
ing of the Amalgamated stockholders U.
s. Senator w. A. Clark will be elected
president Of that company, and thai he
will sell the Amalgamated his United
Verde mine for $50, 900, 900. is believed by
many local copper men to be founded on
fact. 1t is reasoned out that such a move
would put the Amalgamated in a much
stronger position, as it would enable it to
practically control the American market
for copper.

In the district court today j. s. Shrop-
shire. acting as attorney for Thomas
Camp, filed a suit against the Parrot-Co-

v for his client judgment for SIC, 200
for injuries which Camp alleges he re-
ceived while working as a painter and
glazier at the Butte Reduction Works ON

complaint that he was working neal a
trestle on which cars containing ore run
to permit Of their contents being dump
ed into the bins below and in the pursuit
OF his labor was obliged to cross the
track. One of his duties was to gather
up waste material and throw 1t to the
ground below; that the defendant, on the
and al ore train with ore for the works
pushed up the trestle with great
speed. The front car struck the barrel
with great force, says the plaintiff, and
threw 1t against him as he was about
to cross the track: that he was knocked
sense,ess by the force of the contact, was
caught by the car and dragged a long dis
lance. and in his senseless condition fell
from the trestle to the ground below, a
distance Of % feet; that he was badly
hurt, having both legs broken, his right
arm broken. his left arm and shoulder
crushed and the bones dislocated and
broken. and being hurt internally; that
by reason of the injury to his left arm
and shoulder his arm above the wrist is
paralyzed inc useless.
Plaintiff further alleges that because of
the injuries he remained unconscious four
days and was in the hospital three
months, during which time he suffered
great mental and physical pain: that he
has not recovered from the injuries and
has been informed he will never fully re-
cover; that since leaving the hospital he
has been put to great expense in procur-
ing medical n surgical aid, to wit 81, 900:
thai prior to the injury he was an able
bodied man earning $3.50 per day at his
trade, but since the accident he has been
unable to work. He asks for Judgment

gical attendance and SIS, 900 general dam
