torney Jones, one of the legal represent
tatives of the plaintiffs in the suit
brought by Daniel Lamm and John Mac
Ginniss against the Amalgamated Cop
per company and it's officers and the Par
rot company and it's officers, presented a
motion requesting the dismissal of the
action so far as the Amalgamated and
its officers are concerned.
Judge Knowles said he would grant the
request, as he supposed there would be
no objection but Attorney John F. Forbis
Shores, representing the Amalgamated in
a legal capacity, should be notified Il the
motion before it was granted by the
court.
AS Mr.. Shores had not been told that
the motion was to be presented and was
not in court, the matter was continued

nected is the one in which Judge Knowles
rendered a decision yesterday as to
whether the action could be tried in the

trict court, in which it was first filed.

his court possessed jurisdiction.

William II. Rance was arrested at
Great Falls yesterday by Deputy United

on a charge of depositing in the Great
Northern express Office for transmission
to some other point package of obscene
photographs.
Today he was arraigned in the United
States court here and requested to enter
a plea to the charge.
The defendant said he was not guilty,
and asked that the case be transferred
to Helena for trial.
Judge Knowles granted the request.
Rance is one of the men indicted by
the last federal grand jury, which met
in this city about two weeks ago.
In view of the fact that he was en-
joying liberty when the indictment was
returned, however, nothing was said
about it.
Rance is under bond of $500. He has
employed Attorney General Donovan to
defend him.

run over by a Northern Pacific train
and killed. His name was George l..
Theobold, and his home, Buffalo N. y,
to which place the body was sent.
His death was accidental. After the
train pulled into the station the young
man alighted and did not attempt to
ge on again until it started and was go

He caught hold of railing alongside
of one of the inclosed vestibules. but in
some way lost his footing and fell under
the coach. He lived only q few min

JUDGE BRADFORD
OVERRULES DECISION

In the United States Court last even
ing Judge Bradford handed down a de-
cislon in the case OF William Cham
beers vs. the British steamship Kestor
The judge decides that the recent law
passed by Congress forbidding the ad-
vancement OF money TO seaman on
an agent for shipping a seaman is com
stltutional He holds that the law ap-
plies TO foreign sailor shipping on a
foreign vessel In an American port as
wel as to a foreign sailor shipping on
an American vessel or an Ameri-
can shipping on a foreign vessel. Cham
bers, who is a British subject, shipped
on the Kestor in September, 1899. as a
fireman. Part Of his wages OF $50 a.
month was paid Ito an agent In Balti-
more for shipping him, and Chambers
signed a contract TO work the first thir-
ty days for a shilling and the remain
der of the time for $50 a month When
he was discharged he asked for the full
pay of $50 n month, while he was on
the Kestor, and 10 was refused to him
because OF the contract Judge Brad
ford held that Chambers is entitled UNI
der the law to the fun amount. The
decision practically over-rules recent
