Report of Postmaster Irwin Is an En-.
couraging Index to the Prosperity
Of Butte-The Stream of Money
Passing Through the Office
Is Rising Rapidly.

AS shown by the reports of Postmaster
George w. Irwin for the fiscal year emil
ing June 80, Butte is steadily increasing
in population and business. Compare
tive statements for the two past fiscal
years give 1901 must the best of 1T, and
as the business transacted by the local
postoffice is probably the best criterion
by which to Judge the business increase
of a city, indications point to rapidly
advance in Butte.
The postal receipts of the Butte post
Office for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1900, shows total Of $50, 1875, while for
the same time during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1901, or the year just
past. the total runs as high as $73,625.16
or gain over the preceding year of 16
per cent. The heaviest gain during the
year was in the quarter ending Decem-
Der 81, that being the holiday season. A
gain over the previous year for that
quarter amounted TO % per cent. This
large gain is, of course, an indicator of
more money in circula ton during the
holiday season, and probably a greater
prosperity.
The cooperative report of the regis
try business transacted at the Butte
pOstOff1ce during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1900 and 1901, show large in
crease also In the latter year. For the
year 1900 there We're received for regis
try 16,491 pieces, while in 1901 total
of 1903 pieces were taken Il, of gain
of per cent. Registered pieces received
at the local office for delivery amounted
during the year 1900 to 1888, while the
past years business in this line reached
1857 pieces, a gain of 6 per cent. The
year 1900 being the year the census was
taken, larger business than usual was
done at the Butte postoffice during that
period. The supervisor of census was
stationed at Butte, and all business con-
nected with his department was trans
acted through his Office. This swelled
the business for that year greatly.
Hence the increase in this department
over the preceding year is not as great
as in the other departments, where it
ran from 16 to 10 per cent

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
in the case of state against Evans in
support Of that contention :

in the case of state against Evans in
support of that contention.
THE assistant attorney general ad-
mits that the contention of Newton
that he. was entitled to trial by Jury
presents more difficult proposition. He
says that although there is some quesc
ton as to the power to waive the right
of trial by jury in criminal proceedings
the modern tendency is to apply in mis-
demeanor cases the same rule as obtains
in civil cases. Especially since there ape
pears to be no distinction in the codes
between civil and misdemeanor cases
upon that point If the jury in this par
ticular case had been empaneled and
sworn which was not done, Mr.. Moore
says there is no doubt that the case
should have been submitted to themg
Courts of other states have held that
where a party in a civil case demands
jury he valves the jury when he me-
elects to appear upon the day set for
trial. =
The modern tendency, as above stat
ed to apply the same rules in the trial
for misdemeanors as those governing IN
civil actions.'' says the ASSISTANT attor-
ney general II believe that by so do
ing 1t must be held that the defendant
by his failure to appear at the trial
waived his former demand for a jury.
The law contemplates both parties when
the jury is to be selected. 1t is not in
cumbent upon the county attorney to
see that jury is properly impaneled
in the absence of the defendant"
There is also a question of practice
in the case and If the court should hold
that the justice Of the peace erred in
not trying the case with a Jury. this
would not render the judgment void.

4 GRATIFYING INCREASE
IN POSTOFF|CE RECEIPTS

An interesting comparative statement
Of the money order business for the tive
past fiscal years has been made by POST
master Irwin. The report shows 30,122
domestic money orders issued during the
year 1900, calling for $3.50, 315.5S, while for
this year 5,S31 more orders were made
out and delivered by the money order
clerk. The increase in money taken III
for these orders over last year amounted
to $68, O59.63. A gain in this business,
therefore, amounted to 10 per cent. Tie
fees on the money orders for the year
1900 amounted to $2,S43.26, while those
for the year just closed reached $3419.36.
0 ran increase of 16 per cent. y
The international money orders issued
from the Butte Office for 1900 were 9,19A,
bringing in $1S5, 239.O1. The year 1901 saw
1905 of these orders issued, for $780,
567..73 gain Of IA per cent. The fees
on these International orders for 1900
amounted to $2,0gS.75, and in 1901, 81, 1921. ~
was paid. This is a gain of 10 per cent.
Certificates OF deposit amounting to
$5S4,779.7S We're given during the fisc Il
year 1901. as against $477,OS2.26 for thu
year previous A gain is noticed here Of
: 20 per cent.
Inc disbursements OF the once are
more interesting and probably make as
good showing for the office as the re-
ceipts. In comparison with the latter
the per cent of gain in the disburse-
ments is much less. Domestic money
orders paid in Butte during 1900 amount
ed to $26S, 91S.05, while for the year just
past 1921, 032.77 was distributed, gain
of 4 $40 per cent. Domestic money
orders repaid during 1900 amounted to
$4,411.35. while the past year shows 3d.
$3.50. International orders paid for 1906
called for $14,05S.7O, and for 1901 the sum
of $15310.23, or gain of per cent. en-
ternational money orders repaid for 1900
called for $44s.35. and during 1901 the
same business amounted to $257.36.
The surplus money RENTED to the
postoffice department at Washington
during the fiscal year 1900 amounted tc
$759, 742.36, while that RENTED during
the year just past reached $943, O26.S1, a
gain Of "a per cent. U
The report shows general gain in
the business Of the postoffice of 10 per
cent over that done during che previous
fiscal year.

The members of the Bluejackel
family, most Of them being heirs Of
the late Stephen Bluejacket, viii
shortly institute a suit at law to re-
cover possession and title to track
Of land lying in Douglas county, Kan
sas, Immediately east of Lawrence,
the county seat
Reputable attorneys have been ex-
aiming the deeds to the property for
about a year past and have now ar
rived at the conclusion that legal title
has never passed from the Bluejacket
heirs
The land is said to be very valuable
aG this time and worth all the way
from $50 TO Sl00 an acre exclusive or
the Improvements. There is nearly
1900 acres in the tract and it is said
to be as good farming land as there is
in the sunfower STATE.
Mrs. Bluejacket, the mother Of
Stephen, remarked after the death
Of Mr.. Bluejacket. Her second hus-
band sold off patches OF the land here
and there for whatever he could yet
and gave deeds for it. 1t is said that
the then pioneer settlers took adyan-
tage Of him and that one mau re-
eeived a splendid bottom farm for ten
dollars.
The deeds given by the husband of
Mrs. Bluejacket are said to be worth
ess and the lawyers believe that ey-
sryone Of them can be successfully
lttacked.
The last Of the Bluejackets who
ived on the tract left Kansas about
1864.
Thursday a meeting Of the heirs
vas held at the Cobb hotel there being
resent a representative Of the Law
ence attorneys who is preparing the
estimony for the proposed hearing of
he case.
1t is said that = number of the pre-
ent residents OF the land who hold
title by deed from those who pur-
hased from MIS-. Bluejackets second
usband have offered to compromise.
