court at Helena, has at last been award
ed to the defendants by the circuit court
of appeals at San Francisco. The suit
was brought in connection with the pur-

plaintiffs In 1897, and based upon the
failure of defendants to deliver the num-

AS an indication that the horse is not
entirely displaced by the automobile the
experience of the firm of Miles Bros. of
this city, may be quoted with a good

j. III. Boucher. from Allyn, Teton
county, deputy state ga me and fish war
den, made this locality a visit during
the past week. Mr.. Boucher has just
completed a thorough tour of Cascade,
Fergus and Sweetgrass counties, and is
now making a thorough tour of Meagher
county. 1t is the object of Mr.. Boucher
to make a thorough inspection of dams
and sawmills where they are located On
waterways, and those knowing them
selves not complying with the law in
every respect will do well to apply rem
edies at once. Or Sweetgrass river Mr..
Boucher found q dams below
the town of Melville, five of
which were complete distractions to the
passage Of fish; also one on Big Spring
creek, above Lewistown. Mr. Boucher
will make a complete report on the dams
erected on Sheep creek, above Lewis
town by the Butte and Montana
Commercial Compan. in 1890 81, and it
goes without saying that the law will be
complied with in every detail.-Hus-
