naissioners requesting "a hearing with ref
erence to the location of a colored school
in Brookland Mr.. Farley informs the
Commissioners that he was one of the
citizens committee which appeared be
fore the Board and asked that cOlored
school might be given TO BrOoklaud. He
expresses qualification for himself and for
the other members Of the committee at
the promptness with which a request was
made to Congress and the success which
attended the efforts of the Commission
ers in that $25.o was appropriated for
the school.
Mr. Farley further says that at the
meeting Of the Board of Education,
March y. a recommendation was made
that the school might be located on the
present site on Bunker Hi Road TO
which Mr. Farley wishes to enter a pro
test He declares that the location is I'M
desirable for many reasons. He holds
that it is not in accordance with the in
tent Of the law. which refers to "a col
ored school for Brooklaud.' To put it
on the Bunker Hill Road, he says, is
not To locate the school In Br0Okland. He
states that there are no colored children
living within mile and a half of that
location, aud that there IS no way for the
children to reach a schoOlhouse on the
Bunker Hil Road, except by travelling
over ii dusty road In summer and a mud
dy one in winter Continuing MIR Farley
says:
1T has been said that this matter
should be disposed of as speedily as pos
sible so as to avoid any controversy with
the property holders out there. / desire
TO say that there will be no controversy
over site, because we were urged TO pc
tition for a school by some of the Iarg-
est property holders in the suburb. and
they offered to assist us. | hope YOU
will not finally dispose Of the matter un-
til YOU may be advised by the parents of

The Commissioners yesterday consider
ed the application of f. h. Evans. who
requested permission to construct two
frame buildings, twelve feet wide by tnir-
ty-eight feet long and two stories, on Fife
* Fife tract. Anacostia Road The di-
mansions Of the proposed structures are
such that the Inspector Of Buildings re
ferred the application to the Commits
soners for Instructions.
The Inspector informed the Commits
sioners that no plans had been filed with
reference to the heating, lighting, or ven
tiation of the buildings, but as the
ground available is not restricted, he rec
commended that the application be grant
ed, provided the width of the buildings
is changed from twelve to fourteen feet.
The Commissioners have approved the
recommendation Of the Inspector of

MANY DEFENDANTS NAMED
Colusa- Parrot Starts Two Suits to
Quiet Title to Waters Of Black
tail Creek.


The sa-Parrot Mining company be-
gan two suits in the district court to-
day to determine title to the bulk of
the water of Blacktail Deer creek, which
empties into Silver Bow creek.
In one of the actions A. w. Barnard
and fully one hundred other persons are
defendants and in the other the Butte
Ice company is defendant. The plain
tiff alleges that it is entitled to certain
quantity of the water for use in the OPP
GRAFTON of its plant. the Butte Reduction
works, and that the defendants have
interfered with the flow of the water to
such an extent that the works are short.
The plaintiff asks the court to restrain
the defendants fro mdraining the water
or diverting 1t from it's natural course.
In the latter suit the plaintiff says it is
entitled to 1000 inches of the water OF
Silver Bow and Black Tail Deer creeks to
and below the junction of the streams
and past the Reduction works, but
March 1 the defendants Butte Ice COM
pany, w. Nee. White, w. w. Adams and

of this, it is alleged, the Colusa Parrot

ting it's ore, to its damage in the
sum of $10,62o. BY the pumps scoopins

He WANTS HIS WIFE AGAIN
Walter Barrows Has Searched in Butte
Week for His Missing Spouse
Romantic StorV

Walter Barrows of Ironhill. Ia. is in
the city searching for his wife, Susie,
from whom he has been separated sew
eral years. Today he called at the sher-
ifs office and asked for assistance in
locating the woman, and although I'm
der Sheriff McGuigan helped him all he
could, the missing one could not be To-
Gated. She is keeping house for some
family here. fact that was learned
by letter she wrote her husband about
two weeks ago. In the epistle she asked
him to come to Butte. but failed to give
him her exact address. About week
ago he arrived and since then he has
been endeavoring to locate her.
According to the story related by Mr..
Barrows, the relatives of his wife OPP
posed their marriage. but notwithstand-
ing the opposition they were united.
Shortly afterwards the relatives induced
her to leave her husband and come to
Montana. She went to Great Falls and
while there the relatives prevailed upon
her to commence divorce proceedings.
She did not prosecute the case, however.
A few months ago she came to Butte.
TIL tone of her letter to her husband
indicates plainly that she thinks a great
deal more of him than her relatives
do and that she is perfectly willing to
side track them for him.

DR.. HUE P0cK DISCHARGED
insufficient Evidence to Convict the
Doctor Of / racticing Without
Citv License

The case against DR.. HUE Pock. the
Chinese DOCTOR whose place OF business
is on South Main street, in which he
was accused Of practicing medicine
without a license issued by the city, fell
through today in the justice court Of
Walkerville presided over by Judge
O'Connor. The Chinese physician was
up for trial before Judge O'Connor, but
the prosecuting attorney could not bring
sufficient evidence to convict him. He
keeps a store on Main street, where he
sells merchandise OF different kinds but
it could not be proven that he was
guilty of the charge against him.
DR.. Pock is middle-aged Chinaman.
with rather a scholarly command OF
pigeon English. He has positive views
on medicine and diseases, as was shown
at the time of the epidemic here which
was diagnosed as smallpox by some
physicians and as something else by
others. The doctor was an antagonist
of the smallpox theory, and his convic-
ton were firm. He laughed at the
smallpox idea, and did not hesitate to
let his wife and child come into contact
with people who had the disease tho,
prevalent. The doctor seems to have
another smile coming now.

An innocent Man Wronged.

There is much Just Indignation among
the friends of the race horse man Robert
Harris, because of his arrest. In the
diamond case several men have been
identified as the guilty parties, and it is
certain that Harris was out Of town
fishing in company with John Camp
bell and did not even visit the gardens.
In the pool commissions case, Harris
bought the ticket he was asked to buy.
on Mount Eagle. the other race in which
Sir Dougal came in first being over at
the time Harris got the money from Nc
Ginniss SO that he could not possibly
have bet the latters money on that ami
NAL.
Every man at the track who knows
Harris speaks well Of him. To many he
has been known for five years, during
which he was never in trouble and never
in the company of tough characters. In
the two cases referred to he is innocent
beyond doubt and his arrest and in
generation was a great injustice. His
complete exonoration is certain.

WAS A PRETTY SOLID SMELL
Neighbors Did Not Like the odor Of
Meat Used in the Sausage
Factory

Nose Ornstein one of the proprietOrs Of
the Washington meat market, near Main
on West Park, was arrested yesterday on
a charge of boiling bones fat, offaW
and like matter of a malodorous charac-
ter, and thereby creating nuisance. He
gave bonds for his appearance and was
released. The warrant for his arrest was
sworn to by j. H. Cronin.
The Ornsteins, Nose. Ben and Sol, who
own the Washington market conjoint-
ly. run a sausage factory in the base
ment. The hamburger steaks turned out
by the firm are minced there also. There
is an odor rising from the sausage fat
tory by way of window opening in the
sidewalk. It is a pretty solid scent,
judging from the effect it produces upon
ordinary olfactory nerves, but butcher
would doubtless not regard 1t as any
thing to choke on.
In a statement made yesterday, Sol
Ornstein said: Mr. Cronin ought not
to expect a butcher shop to smell like
a flower garden in summer, but there is
very little odor rising from the sausage
factory. We We're notified to stop rem
dering lard in the basement some time
ago. and we did so. We will fight this
charge. do not know who MI. Cronin
is. but we obeyed his first notification
regarding the lard. The sausage maker
cuts up the Hamburger and makes saus-
age near that window, in order to get
the benefit Of the light that comes in at
it. and there is naturally some odor
there. But we are not committing or
maintaining nuisance, and we will con-
test this case"
