OFF FOR FLATHEAD COUNTRY
Well-known Butte People Will sojourn
in Northwest Montana for
Two Weeks.

D. J. Hennessy, P J. Brophy and John
O'Rourke started this morning for the
Flathead country, where they will inves-
tigate the properties of the Butte Oil
company, near Kalispe!l. They will
spend two weeks or more in the Wilder
ness, taking horses and going out into
as wild part of the state as ctn be
. found.
incidentally. they will look up the re-
puted valuable placer finds of that part
of the country, and the great timber
that covers the lake region. All the gen.
t1emen are interested in the three propo-
stions.
The tip will be a delightful one, into
a country little known. but apparently
rich in all the greatest natural products.
A large number of Butte men are inter-
ested in the oil company which is eN-
pending some $4,000 this year in devel-
opment For one thing, a road had to
be cut for thirty-five miles through heavy
timber, for hauling the engine and ma
chnery for the oil prospecting plant. The
company proposes to make a thorough
search for oil, and has the money to de-
yelop it's properties to the utmost.

AND Then THE CASE WENT ON
Clash Between the Lawyers in Judge
Clancy's Court Lends Great
Interest to Proceedings.

The trial of the suit brought by Mary
A. Lyons against Charles Lane. the city
building inspector, to recover Judgment
for money alleged to be due the plain
tiff from the defendant for board and
lodging in the early eos was commenced
in Judge Clancy's court this afternoon,
but after jury had been selected and
the plaintiff placed on the witness stand
]. L. Wines as one Of the attorneys for
the defendant objected to the snhmis-
son of any testimony on the ground that
the plaintiff had failed to furnish ali
ftemiZed statement of the Indebtedness.
Mr. Wines stated to the courr under oath
that he had never received such state
ment, and Attorney Thomas S. Hogan,
who, with ex-Attorney General Nolan,
aNpeared for the plaintiff swore he had
seen the statement among the other pa
pers in the case in the office of the clerk
Of the court about week ago. What
became of it he said he knew not.
The record of the case did not show
that bill of particulars had ever been
tiled. but Mr.. Hogan said he was posi-
tive he had seen it.
Both men stand unimpeuch said
the Judge, after he had listened TO the
testimony of each. 1.-The objection Is

And the case went on.

More AffldavitS I'm the
Minnie Healey Case

In the suit Of Miles Finlen against F.
Augustus Heinze and others, known as
the Minnie Healy case, now before Judge
Harvey in the district court, on motion
for new trial, five affidavits of a very
interesting character were filed this
afternoon in support of the motion
mentioned. The affidavits were made by
E. L. Walters, J. w. Waters and John
E. Mccarthy, and relate to matters
sworn to be within the knowledge of the
atlantis and relating to the relations OF
Judge Harvey and Mrs. Ada H. Bracket
bearing upon the case above mentioned,
and to the statements alleged to have
been made by both the latter affecting
the case. according to the allegations OF
the atlantis.
These aff1davits take the place Of the
dispositions of Judge Harvey, Mrs.
Bracket and Others which the plant It
was unable to secure on account of the
refusal of the latter to permit Notary
Galbraith to examine them.
The motion for an extension of the
time in which to file af1idavits in support
OF the motion for new trial was denied
this morning by Judge Harvey. So these
afi1davits went in at the end Of the last
day allowed for their fling, today.
Walters and Waters affirm that Mrs.
Bracket made statements to them at
Salt Lake concerning relations which she
claimed to have with the "Heinze fac
ton" and Judge Harvey, saying in the
affidavits that Mrs. Bracket told them
that she was employed by the "Heinze
faction and F.. Augustus Heinze to do
what she specified as delicate work, and
that she received SITS a month from
those parties.
The afhdavits are very voluminous and
contain great many incidents and de-
tails. A Waters affidavit states that
Mrs. Bracket told Waters that the
Heinze people were certain to win the
Minnie Healey case as we'll as two others
which were being tried. 1t also states
that Mrs Bracket stated that she was
very valuable to the state of Montana
owing to her diplomatic qualities, and
that the people of said state could not
set along without her; that she made
from five to six thousand dollars a year.
and did not work very hard for it either"
McCarthy's affidavit states that while
ne was staying at the Gregson Springs
motel ne saw Judge Harvey at the hotel
one day with woman who the af1ant
was told was Mrs. Bracket, and that
both the latter stayed at the hotel over
night and the next day, and that Judge
Harvey was intoxicated.
A Walters affidavit states that Mrs
Bracket told the af1iant at Salt Lake
that she had done and was still do
ing work of secret and scheming ma
| ture for said Heinze." 1t states further
that Mrs. Bracket stated that her re.
lations with Judge Harvey were Of very
intimate character and that she possesse
great influence over him and that she
! possessed his entire confidence: that hel
relations with, and portion of the work
performed by her for the said Heinze
! consisted in delivering to said Heinze

peny Wants Over a Cool Thousand
From p A. Ozanne

The Western Loan ana Savings cons
pany of Utah began suit against Paul
A. Ozanne today to recover iudgmen.
for $1l20.97, which it alleges it found
itself short after selling some property
belonging to George A. and Jennie E.
Mcdonald to satisfy a promissory note
and mortgage executed by the McDon-
aids.
The plaintiff states in it's complaint
that on May 10, 1899, Mr.. Ozanne actin,;
for the McDonalds, who were then stock
holders in the company, and therefore
entitled to make application for loans,
forwarded the company the applica ii IN
of the McDonalds for loan of $4,000,
which was to be secured by "a note and
mortgage on lot 4, block / OF the Henry
addition, and other property in silver
Bow county. 1t was agreed that a deed
to the property should be executed by
the McDonalds and placed in escrow in
the First National bank, and the Nc.
Donalds were to pay the money on It
there.
Further, it is alleged that on June Il
OF that year Mr.. OZanne was given the
money to pay to the McDonalds af'es
all of the conditions of the deal had
been complied with, but it is further al
legged that Mr.. Ozanne paid the McDon-
aids the money before learning that the
McDonalds did not own lot of block |
The balance of the property was sod
to satisfy the claim, but it fell S1,l2O.9,
short, and Mr.. Ozanne is asked to make
the amount good, it being claimed tina,

JOCKEY BEN
G0U|N THROWN
PLUCKY RIDER OF AN ILL-TEM-
PERED RACE HORSE AT THE
TRACK SEVERELY INJURED.
Her Rider-Severely Cut About the
Face-Favorites Win Three Con-
secutive Races and the Talent
Breaks to the Good.

The sport at the track yesterday was
marred by an accident to Jockey Ben
Gouin, resulting in injuries, which
though not of particularly serious ma
ture, will probably prevent the little fell
low from again riding at this meeting.
Gouin had the mount on Abercrombie's
Irma A, and while at the post the mare
became fractions and tumbling, threw
the jockey and then rolled over on him.
Gouin's head was brought in violent
contact with the ground when he fell
and his forehead, over either eye and
his lips We're badly cut. His nose was
crushed and he was bruised and scraped
about the head. He suffered body
bruises also, as the result of the mare
rolling over on him.
Gouin was placed in a hack and re-
moved to the stable quarter where medi-
cal aid was summoned. He was then
sent to his room at the Finlen hotel
where his wounds were stitched and
dressed. The physicians stated that
Gouin had a narrow escape and would
recover. Mrs. Gouin was at the track
when the accident occurred. She was
almost frantic when she saw her hus-
band thrown and with her child in her
arms, rushed to meet the hack In which
he was carried acros the field to the
stable.
After the trot, which was described in
Yesterdays report the talent had lit
tie the best of the day, cashing on three
favorites out of five. Their calculations
were badly upset in the first two run
ming events, however, and particularly
in the five and one-half furlongs dash,
when Justus Goebel at Is to l. finished a
length in front of Maggie X, the even
money favorite, who was a length in
front of Phil Brensen, at to l. The
time was 1:10A. Limb of the Law, Bard
Burns and Louise Chapman, also ran.
Rubina was tipped as good thing in
the next race at four furlongs, but the
talent liked Estado and the colt was
made favorite at to 5. while Rubina
was as good as 3 to l. After delay of
forty minutes. during which Irma A.
threw Gouin they were sent away. There
was nothing to the race but Rubina. who
finished two lengths in front of Estado.
who beat out Tufts, 6 to /, by two
lengths. The time was 80. Constable,
Irma A.. Friar Charm. San-de-lee and
Lord Glenn also ran.
The talent picked Kitty Kelly to carry
the 1 to 5 money in the fourth race, and
they were rewarded by seeing the
daughter Of Apache deliver the goods
