RYAN IS SINKING.
TOO FEEBLE TO IDENTIFY HIS AS
SAILANTS.

Late this afternoon word was received
from the hospital that Ryan who was
stabbed this morning was slowly sinking
and his recovery was very doubtful. The
three men arrested on suspicion were Ia
ken to the hospital by Captain Leyden
and detective Murphy but Ryan was In
s,ch q feeble condition that he could not
identify the men as his assailants. Ry-
an was continually coughing up blood
which indicates that he is bleeding in
wardly. If this be the case his recovery
is very doubtful.

Geo. H. Casey Sues to Recover
Thirteen Pieces of Ground.
COURT HOUSE INCLUDED
Plaintiff Wants Damages for Each
Month of Occupancy by
Tenants.

George H. Casey filed in the district
court this afternoon thirteen complaints
in actions to recover possession of thir-
teen pieces of the surface ground of the
Thomas lode claim and to get Judgment
against those in whose names each par
eel of the ground now stands on the
records of Silver Bow county.
The Thomas lode takes in a portion of
the county court house and a large slice
Of that portion Of the city lying between
Montana and Washington streets and
Quartz and Granite. A few days ago
Casey purchased it from Lee w. Foster,
John A. Leggat and Joseph H.. Harper,
paying $500 for it. Each of the COM
plants is worded alike, save as to the
description of the ground owned by the
defendant. They state that on January
4, 1895, the defendants ousted the plain
tiff from possession of the property and
have been holding it ever since, to plain
tifs damage in sums ranging from $40
per month to 81, 900 per month. The names
of the defendants and the amounts of
rental they are asked to pungle are as
follows:
George Stevenson and Mile Stevenson,
$50.
A. w. Barnard, $50.
T. p. Newton, SO.
Lee Mantle and Mary Mantle, 500.
George W. Irwin, 500.
City of Butte, 5 $1,000.
". H. Dewitt and Adelaide Corbett,
William Thompson. $50.
A. E. briggs and wife, $50.
May F. Wampler, Walter Wampler
and Reese Wampler, as the guardian of
May and Walter, $50.
Michael ]. Connell, $50.
Julia Hammer, $50.
J. ". Reed, $50. y
At $50 per month the total amount for
which Judgment against each is asked
is 81. 800.

NORTHERN PACIFIC MAKES A

INGS FOR THE YEAR.
St Paul, July 26. The Northern Pa
cific, in the fiscal year just closed, made
a banner record on gross earnings, the
figure reaching $4,000, 600. The earn
ings of the main system for the past
year have been 500 9,9S3, 900. When
the dividends on preferred and COM
mon stock have been paid, there will
be a surplus of ST. ,936, ,245, which would
have paid an extra dividend on COM
mon stock of per cent had the direc-
tors seen fis to declare it. In view Of
the crop situation and the possible
need of larger surplus, the dividend
was not declared.
The showing is a magnificent one.
1t shows a gain of over $4,OOO,OO0 for
the year. The figures show that the
operating expenses for the fiscal year
were Az per cent of the gross earn
ings, leaving 52.3 per cent for the net
earnings. The operating expenses
were slightly heavier than in the year
preceding, when the ratio was At
In 1898 the ratio was 46. 8 per cent.

COL. LOUNSBERRY, AFTER DRIV-
81 ING THROUGH THE VALLEY,
THINKS THE WHEAT CROP
WILL EXCEED THAT.
Devils Lake, NJ D., July go. Col. C.
A. Lounsberry says: I have driven
over 600 miles in North Dakota in a
buggy during the past three weeks.
Fully one-h half Of the wheat crop is a
total failure, and many thousand acres
have already been plowed under. The
few heads are short, containing but
few shriveled berries, and are choked
by weeds. Some of the fields would
not yield a peck to the acre. OF the
other half, perhaps one-fourth, being
late soWn grain, may give half an or
d dir ~ crop, and the remainder will
not average five bushels to the acre.
Occasionally a small piece will yield
"a fairly good crop. Taken as a whole,
there will not be % per cent OF an or
dinary crop. North Dakota will not
produce this year 20, 600 900 bushels OF
wheat. I doubt IL it will exceed 15,-
.000, 900. OF flax there will be two
thirds crop on largely increased
acreage. Hay has been improved by
the late rains. Many sloughs and old
lake beds, too wet to be cut in former
years. will produce good crops OF hay.
There was mucn old hay left from last
years crop. Conditions generally
have been much improved during the
last three weeks, but millions Of acres
Of wheat will not be harvested There
will not be one-third crop Of oats and
barley.

CROP EXPERT.
BUT THE CONDITION OF CROPS IN.
NORTH DAKOTA is TOO MUCH

BUT THE CONDITION OF CROPS IN
NORTH DAKOTA is TOO MUCH
FOR HIM.
st. Paul, July 26. .E. H. Holmes, the
United States field superintendent Of
the department Of agriculture, arrived
in Minneapolis yesterday. He came in
from the national capital Ito make a
tour Of the northwest. Mr.. Holmes
went into North Dakota about a month
ago, investig eating the crop conditions.
He found a. very unfayorable state Of
affairs-t the most. unfortunate he had
ever known since he entered the fed
eral service. The cond ditions, at least
so far as wheat was concerned, were so
badly mixed that Mr.. Holmes thought
this section called for special inquiry.
He expects to find a greatly changed
condition Of things, although he does
not expect to find wheat in as good
condition as many Of the more SAN
gnine judges describe. M
a month ago the crops Of North Da-
kota. South Dakota and Minnesota
promised, respectively, only 35, 40 and
30 per cent of the usual production.
The monthl " statement from that: dis
trict is not yet in, but there are #rea-
sonable fears that it will be less en-
couraging than the previous one.
The farmers differ so materially in
the information they provide that
scarcely anything definite can be gath
cred from it, and to get real facts Mr..
Holmes, after having consulted the
state agents and county correspond
5ents, will drive through the question
able localities, and by personal obser-
walton arrive at the true situation OF
affairs.
Mr.. Holmes for many years was the
only agent employed by the national
government to overlook the entire crop
field OF the United States. He has
given a great deal Of thought to the
present condition in the northwest, a
condition which has caused a great
deal Of speculation and guesswork
here and elsewhere, but he does not
care to make any predictions as to the
probable yield. It is understood, how
ever, that Mr.. Holmes does not ait all
agree with those who predict a yield
of 135,00O, 600 bushels of wheat for
the three states. Neither does he care
to indorse the less happy prediction
that these states will not produce more
than 90, ,OOe, 900 to 20 900, 900 bushels.

RESTRAINING ORDER.

JUDGE POLLOCK AT FARGO RE-
81 STRAINS THE HUGHES COM
PANY FROM BUILDING LINE
PARALLEL TO OTHERS.
@ Fargo, July 26. Judge Pollock OF
the district court this morning handed
down a decision in the case of the
Fargo Gas & Electric Co.against the
Fargo Edison Co. y Ss
The plaintiff company some time ago
made application for a, temporary re-
straining order, pending the trial of the
suit, restraining the Edison Co. from
erecting poles against the wires OF the
Fargo Co. or in close proximity or
within two feet Of such wires. The
decision OF Judge Pollock continues uhe
restraining order in force until the
hearing of the main suit, which will be
tried at the septembe term Of court.
The suit alt that time promises to be
an interesting one. The question in
yolved is whether or not the Fargo Gas
8 Electric Co. has an exclusive fran
chise for the stringing Of light wires
and the maintenance thereof in THE
city of Fargo. This question was not
involved in the present action. The
company claims to have an exclusive
franchise for a lighting plant, granted
Eby the city council Of 1881 which is
perpetual
The decision OF today keeps the Ed
ison Co. from continuing the work Of
xtendfng the Eighth street south line,
on which consid iderable work has al
ready been done, pending the trial Of
the more important case.
