HARRY H. FLETCHER & CO.
Forsyth, Montana

That several times during the trial
Judge Harvey was intoxicated.
That at various times the Judge dis
cussed the case with Mrs. Bracket
Accompanying these chrages are
various exhibits and at1idavits of at
torneys, detectives, messengers, hack
men and others, the whole making a
mesh of evidence, that, if credited in
court will mean the removal of Judge
Harvey from the bench in disgrace and
blast his political future.
But opposed to this array of charges
are the statements of Mrs. Bracket
and Judge Harvey, who deny the allie
cations in toto. The fact that A. j.
Campbell, ex-congressman, ana a man
with some reputation as purloiner Of
private correspondence, is the chief at
torney interested in the assault on
Judge Harvey detracts, somewhat,
from the effectiveness of the charges
In view of the high character of tie
presiding judge, the serious nature of
the charges and the questionable meth
DDS employed in collecting the so called
evidence. it is only fair to wait until
both sides have had a hearing.
The News will not plead Judge Har-
ney's cause nor take for granted all
the scandalous charges of the plain
tlffs in this famous case. If it can be
proven that Judge Harvey fell an easy
and willing victim to the wiles Of a de-
signing woman and betrayed his oath
OF office he should of course pay the
penalty but the evidence must be com
plete and convincing.
Even though nothing ever comes of
these charges, the affair will be IA dis
grace to the judiciary of Montana and
is to be deplored by the people of the
state.
Ever since the hills of Silver Bow
county have revealed their marvellous
richness, the mining litigation has
been fraught with questionable method
and many shady transactions. The
millions involved have proven an in
centive for the bitterest warfare IN the
courts and now it seems that the liti-
gents do not hesitate to corrupt the
very court itself. The matter should
be thoroughly sifted and the guilty
punished.

Although FORSYTH has met defeat at
the hands of Red Lodge, the team here
has by no means lost heart and have
already taken steps to retrieve the
ground lost since their first brilliant
victories. Captain Sckler is very ac-
tive in getting a good line up and be-
ing man of action and not words has
taken the initiative in the matter of
securing the best players available.
Through his instrumentality the team
has acquired a new pitcher who is ex-
pected to put up swift game. The
new man is O. p. Kersten of Mime
apolis and his practice work shows up
fine. Mr.. kersten came on Tuesday
just too late to be available in the
games with Red Lodge With the ad-
vent of a new catcher who can hold
kersten down, and a few changes in
the personel and line up, FORSYTH
should make place for itself this sea-
son. AS no game can be secured next
Sunday. the day will be utilized for
practice, but the team hopes to meet
one of the neighboring clubs the fol-
lowing Sunday on our own grounds.

Butte's judicial Scandal.

The most sensational charges ever
preferred against a Montana court
were presented last Friday by the
plaintiffs in the Minnie Healy mining
suit at Butte in support of their appli-
cation for further time in which to pre-
sent affidavits and evidence. Judge
w. f. Harvey in VIII sc court the char
ges were made is the official whose
public and private acts were called in
to question and not only is the court s
honor assailed but the issue is broad
litigation involved as the courts of Sill
yer Bow are glutted with cases which
will be affected by the findings in the
Minnie Healy suit.
Substantially the plaintiff AYERS:
That r. Aug. Heinze, the defendant
in the Minnie Healy case, employed
Mrs Ada NJ. Bracket, handsome
and brainy. woman, to influence the
court.
- That Mrs. Bracket succeeded in her
amorous advances to the Judge.
That correspondence by private
messenger between the two sprang up.
That Judge Harvey had knowledge
of Mrs. Brackets mission but contin-
ued his friendly relations with her.
That said Harvey had intimate re-
latiOns with Mrs. Bracket and that
they visited together at various places
designated.

Commissioner II. f.. Hammond Of
Rosebud county came down from For
syth yesterday, says the Yellowstone

fact that it was just 81 years ago on
Aug. S that he landed in Montana. He
came up the Missouri and hearing it
was pretty good country here came
over. That was the days of the buffa-

couldn't make money in those DAYS.
All the capital mann needed was bed
and rifle. l made about 81 ZOO the
first winter. But there seemed to be
more money afloat then than there is
now in the town. After the buffalo
were played out the railroad came
through and that raised another ex-
citement and turned lots Of cash loose.
Then the large number of soldiers at
the post also made a big source of re-
venue. Altogether there was much
more hustle and excitement going on
all the time but the town now seems to
have settled down to normal growth
from substantial resources.

THE INCOME TAX.

The income tax has come in freely
and has proved a wonderfully remun-
erative tax. 1t seems to bear heavily
on some because they have never been
accustomed to pay their just proper
ton of the public burdens. There were
people on these Islands earning con-
siderable incomes, incomes running in
to the thousands, who paid hardly any
more taxes than the laboreT at twenty
dollars a month. Each had to put up
his road, school and poll tax. II a man
earning a hundred or two hundred a
month lived in furnished rooms and
boarded out, hired a rig when he want
ed to drive, and in fact had nothing
but his valise and a few clothes as
portable property, he escaped every
thing but the five dollar tax, while the
man with an income of twenty dollars
month, liable to be locked for such
days as he did not labor, paid an equal
amount and found it hard work to
scrape the money together.
This was always a matter of gross
injustice and was brought up time and
again when the income tax was under
discussion. For three sessions a strong
struggle was made to pass an income
tax bill, but it always had strong oppo-
sition in the Senate, and though it did
pass once, it was found that it was
drawn so as to be unconstitutional.
However experience has taught some
of our legislators, and the present bill
has run the gauntlet of the courts.
Having seen the working and expert
enced the results the prejudice against
the income tax will gradually die out,
and it will be recognized upon it's true
merits as a perfectly fair and equitable
tax. The man with small income es-
capes taxation, or has a very small sum
to pay. The man with a large income
pays in proportion to his means.
The stringency in the treasury is now
removed and according to Treasurer
Wright there will be a good surplus to
begin the year with, while there will
be a regular monthly income coming
in from current internal revenue. The
financial prospect is not so blue as
some would wish.

TO SAVE A MEMORY.

The sale of Kaumakapii church
bricks Be- the end of an episode. The
original Kaumakapi church was a
very modest structure and was built
ON the spot. so 1t IS said where Christ
ian services were first publicly held on
the Islands. This was followed by a
considerable building with very high
pitched roof, that lasted til the last
quarter Of last century when its place
was taken by the building which was
burned during the Chinatown fire, and
which unquestionably caused that fire
TO spread. Had not Kaumakapilis
wooden cased steeples caught fire, the
Chinatown FIRE might have been con-
trolled. However that could not be
helped. 1t was, as is often said, the
fortune of the case. If the material is
not at hand, IL the wind does not blow,
nothing happens, and we do not know
what we escape. The material is at
hand. the wind does blow, and we find
we suffer loss Then we turn round
and find out some one to blame. This
is human nature.
one cannot however see the total
obliteration of the KaumaBapili church,
without some feelings Of sorrow, as one
feels for all old land marks that pass
away. The building actually in ques-
ton was truly, as hideous as it could
be, but it marked an historic spot, and
that spot will now be built over, and
before the rising generation is out,
there will probably be a controversy as
to where the site really was, and old
maps will be consulted and toothless
old citizens will be questioned on the
matter. .....
In the march of progress many an
old land mark has to give way. Num-
bers of churches have moved their
sites, and the original are now occu-
pied by stores, factories and what not
of unitarian character. In most
cases this matters not. But in the
case of Kaumakapili, with its peculiar
association it does matter. The Star
would suggest that when selling the
site, there should be a proviso that a
few square feet of ground should be
reserved ana monument OF memoir
ial stone should mark the spot where
the first Christian services were con
secutively held upon these Islands
Upon this question it seems as if there
should be no division of opinion. 1t is
not a church matter, it is a simple his
torical matter, but it will be, one al
most feels sure, a very popular idea
