For time I thought the boat was
going to pieces and leave us to take our
chances In the water, but the captain got
some planks pushed out from the wreck
to the wharf, and we were soon pacing
down the improvised gangway to land
and safety. However. there was not
much left OF the lumber boat by the time
we were all well off Of her and she has

Although the Inter Mountain Is not
fully informed as to the circumstances
in a recent will case in which one Of
the defendants was Hon. Henry Mueller,
and which was decided on Friday against
the plaintiffs, it is proper to state that
the courts remarks touching the char
acter Of Mr.. Mueller were most sensible
and just. The allegations were serious
enough. and people unacquainted with
our fellow townsman and his long and
honorable record in this community as
citizen and business man might think
there was some possibility Of truth in
the charges affecting his action as ad-
minstrator in the matter at issue. The
trial Of the case settled that point,
and in announcing his decision Judge
Knowles paid most appropriate tribute
to Mr.. Mueller, whose high character, he
said, is too well known to justify any
suspicion of the slightest breach Of
trust.

ESCAPES WARRANT By DYING
Suttcliffe Gets Neighbors After Him

Served.
An instance recently occurred in police
court circles where a man showed good
cause why he should not answer to a
warrant for arrest.
Thomas P. Sutcliffe, whose place Of
residence showed on the warrant as
being in the Kemper addition, got booty
a few days ago and ended by tryink to
shoot up the section. Complaint was
made at once by the neighbors. and a
warrant sworn out for his apprehension.
On the day of its delivery, however. SUIT

archives. awaiting the demise of some
member Of the force. who will presuma-
bly, be bound for the same destination,
when 1t will be placed in his hands to

ROOSEVELT, MAMMA. PlAJI.

The Anaconda Standard seems to find
melancholy satisfaction in discussing
the relations existing between President
Roosevelt and the two senator's. Hanna
and Plat. 1t evidently has little faith
in the sincerity of Hanna's recent deola-,
ration of regard for the new executive.
and devotes half column to reciting
how Roosevelt, when governor Of New.
York, turned down some of Platt's lieu-'
tenants. There Is solace for the Stand
ard in these signs Of future trouble in
the republican party.
1t is true that at the Philadelphia con-
vention Hanna did not favor Roosevelt's
nomination for the vice presidency and
that Plat favored 1t largely because he
realized he could not control the gov
ernor in the executive Office at Albany.
Experience. however, has convinced the
Ohio senator that he underestimated
Roosevelt's true character and he has,
greatly to his credit, confessed his error.
The New York senator has been equally
impressed with the young presidents
high purposes and eminent ability. and
Is likewise frank In his expression Of
loyalty and admiration. That these two
senators have changed their minds and
confessed previous error. stamps them
as honest men. That such change is any
proof Of insincerity or subserviency, or
gives basis for democratic hope Of flu
ture discord in republican ranks this
newspaper emphatically denies. There
are times when patriotic men sink all
personal differences for the common
good, but 1t is better augury for peace
when they confess that experience has
shown such differences to be without
basis Of fact and the result Of wrong,
though honest, Impressions.

NATIONAL Trade BAlaNC

The Inter Mountain is In receipt OF
the following communication:
Butte. Mont. Sept. 2S.--To the Inter
Mountain:-In one Of your recent edi-
torials. entitled 1.-The Country's Mighty
Trade" l notice the total exports for
the period named exceed the total i'm
ports by $1.75s. 500. 155.
kindly inform a reader what we re-
ceived for the difference between the ex-
ports and imports. G. r. NJ.
There Is no official Information avail
able giving in detail the relative value
of the various items which make up the
country's favorable trade balance. Some
of it is in gold, much more of it is In
credits on our European Indebtedness.
Many millions Of dollars have been bor-
rowed by the railroad and other cor
porations of this country on their bonds
and stocks. Our interest charges paid
to European capitalists have been tre-
mendous. These are being rapidly wiped
out by means Of our favorable trade
balances, and the system Of credits and
exchanges used in the adjustment of diff
ferenceS. If we do not directly receive the
amount of the favorable trade balance.
we receive it indirectly. which is the
same thing. In other words, II our WIS.,
ible assets are not larger to the extent
of the difference, our Indebtedness must
be proportionately smaller. our advant-
age being undeniable. OF course 1t cam
not be claimed that we send the products
Of our farms and factories to the mar
kets Of the world without the certainty
OF compensation. Our grain growers
and manufacturers are not in business
for fun. They exact payment for every
article they sell. Whether that pay
ment comes in the form Of money or
credits on our Indebtedness. and our in
terest charges abroad can make little
difference.

WILL DROP PROSECUTION.
Turn In CIiett Assault Case Was Not
Unexpected.


The case against Hugh A. .Cliett, the
saltwater clerk charged with at
tempting to commit a criminal assault
upon a 15-year-old girl in the Palmet-
to House, an account of which was
given in the Morning News, was con-
tinued by Recorder Myrick in Police
Court yesterday and will probably be
stricken from the docket this morning
The prosecution has expressed a desire
to withdraw the charge, and Cleft will
probably go free.
The girl was at police. headquarters
with her father before the case was
called, but did not remain long. Mr.
Robert l.. Colding, counsel for Cliett
had a talk with the father, and stated
to the Recorder that it was the wish
of the prosecution to let the matter
drop. Cleft was willing to let the
case take this. course, and expressed
no desire to have the affair aired in
the court room. He was satisfied to
leave the case with the public on the
statements made by himself and the
girl.
The opinion of a physician had also
been secured. after he had made an
examination of the alleged victim. She
had steadfastly denied that Cleft had
done anything more than attempt to
assault her, while his story was other

CASTOR STREETS CONDITION.
No End of Complaints From People
Who Use 1t.

The people who use CASTOR street as
a thoroughfare, either for driving,
bicycle riding or walking, are disguised
with the city's action in falling to put
the street in something like proper con-
dition.
The differences over repaving the
street have resulted in it's being left
in the torn-up condition it has been
in for the last six months. Bicycle rid
ers have particular cause for complaint
on account of the condition of the ap-
proaches to the Park walks at Aber-
corn and Whitaker streets. 1t is i'm
possible to cross from the Park to what
is left of the shell paving on CASTOR
street or to get on the Park walks from
the narrow shell pavement without go
ing through the heavy sand and dirt
that was thrown in the excavation for
the crosS-toWn sewer when it was filled
up.
No effort has been made to grade the
approaches to the walks and the street
is In the same condition it was when
the sewer ditch was filled in. Even the
shell hardened parts of the street are
full of holes, and are difficult and dam
gerous to travel. The position the City
Council has taken gives no assurance
that the street will be improved at
present, and people who are compelled
to use 1t will have to put up with its
condition until the Council gets ready
to fix it

ISOLATION Want Them Enioined.
Josiah S. Brown and some dozen
others, all members of the Working
men Union Association, filed a suit for
injunction against the officers of the
association in the Superior Court yes
terday. They say they want these of
ficers restrained from selling a lot of
land and the improvements thereon,
which form part of the associations
assets.
The officers of the association sued
are John Reynolds, president, Benja-
min Houston, vice president; Louis
Thomas, secretary and H. r. Rohn,
treasurer. The premises which it is
ALLEGED the defendants are arrang-
ing to sell are located at the corner Of
East Broad and Anderson streets.
The petitioners say they have no
adequate remedy at law, as the defend
ants are all perfectly insolvent, and
would not be able to respond in dam
ages for any injury they would do the
plaintiffs and other members of the as
ISOLATION by the sale of the property.
Then the plaintiffs say they believe
that if the property were sold the Off
GERS would never make any returns,
out would purloin the proceeds and
place them in their own pockets.
Judge Falligant granted a restraining
order prohibiting temporarily the sale
of the property in question, and direct
ed the defendants to show cause be-
fore him, on Aug. 10, why the order
should not be MERGED in a temporary
injunction. The plaintiffs are repre-
scented by Mr.. d. r. McEWen

EXECUTIONER Is READY.
Final Preparations for Hanging of
George Mitchell, Rapist.

Fifteen feet of stretched and tested
this morning. and placed in position for
the execution of George Mitchell, the
negro rapist tomorrow. One end will
be securely fastened to the top of the
hangman's cell. and several men will
swing on it to make sure that 1t Is
secure.
The black cap will also be gotten in
shape, and the trap doors will be tried
for the last time, and will then be
placed in position for the hanging. The
Jail officials have been careful, and it
is expected that Mitchell will be hanged
without a hitch. The execution will
probably take place very shortly after
10 o'clock.
For some unaccountable reason
Mitchell was not visited by any of the
colored ministers yesterday, and he APP
peared disturbed at their apparent neg
lect. Even Rev. Prince Black failed
to call around during the day, but 1t
is presumed that he will show up for
to-night's service. and will be on hand
when the death warrant Is read.
An effort was made yesterday by
Capt. w. N. Clark, counsel for the
condemned man, to have the pardon
board consider the case again, but the
result was the same. The commission
could see no reason for committing
the sentence to life imprisonment, and
for the second time reported to the
Governor its finding. Mitchell had not
even hoped that the board would do
otherwise.
For a long time Mitchell stoutly de-
MED his guilt, and set up the claim
that the case was one of mistaken
identity. After the pardon board refus-
ed to interfere the first time, Mitchell
mace full and complete confession
to representative of the Morning
News, and will go to the gallows adj
uniting that he is guilty of the crime
for which the law says he must hang.
