MOTION TO STRIKE.
Davis Heirs Object to Court Settling
Attorneys Fees.

A motion to strike from the files the
petition of John H. Leyson, administra-
tor of the estate of A. ]. Davis, asking
the court to fix the fees of Attorneys
Forbis & Madison for services rendered
the administrator from November. 1899,
to November, 1901, has been filed in
the district court by Henry A. Root,
Ellen S. Cornue, Joseph A. Coram and
Henry A. Root as administrator of the
estate of Sarah Maria Cummings.
The motion was on alleged grounds,
as follows:
Because the petition was not verified;
because the court has no jurisdiction ia
hear it; because the law does not pro-
vide for the presentation of such an
application for a hearing; because at
torneys' fees for services are only al
lowed to an administrator on the settle
ment of his accounts; because such fees
cannot be allowed an administrator un-
til his final account is settled, and be-
cause no report or account of the ad-
minstrator of the estate is on file and
presented to the court for allowance and
settlement which includes the attorneys
fees asked.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS
EXPRESS OFFICES PILED UP WITH
ALL KINDS OF GIFTS.
BUSINESS never so LARGE
Butte Gives and Receives an Enormous
Quantity of Holiday Tokens Of
All Sorts and Sizes.

Christmas packages, Christmas boxes,
Christmas bundles, all sorts and sizes,
all shapes and varieties, piled up in
tiers, strewn around the offices, ranged
and stocked in every available corner.
That's what the Inter Mountain saw
in an express office in Butte this morn
ing.
If any man, woman, or child in Butte
fails to get one of them it will not be
because there were not enough to go
around.
And such variety of packages!
There was everything good to eat, to
wear, or to admire, everything from a
little blue and red toy dog to 20-foot
Christmas tree-all ready set up-live
turkeys and dead turkeys, big turkeys
and small turkeys, delicacies from
many lands to gladden. the hearts and
the stomachs of the recipients.
Strange" said one of the express
agents, that in spite of the dull times
our Christmas traffic has never been SO
big. Why, we have hardly had time to
make out receipts for the outgoing pack
ages, and we had 10 nire extra wagons to
distribute those coming in.
cit would be hard to tell whether more
comes in than what goes out. but
the incoming packages are almost twice
as numerous as heretofore.
'It is remarkable that we have sold
more money orders this year, too, than
last year-lots of money going out go
ing to all parts Of the world.
"Oh, yes! If anyone has any doubts
about Butte's prosperity and Butte's
generosity, let him come and work in
one of our express offices for a few hours
today, We'll make him go some."
