POLICE COURT.
A Batch Of Defendants Who Looked
AS If They'd Come In Contact
With a Buzz Saw

Over at Jimmy the Nibbler's place
last Tuesday afternoon, Ed Kelly,
William OdWar and J. Corners had
little disagreement, and when the
smoke of the battle had cleared away
Corners was decidedly the worse for
wear, and the other two were by no
means unscathed. When the poll &c
arrived on the scene and gathered in
the trio, the fight was about over,
but the gang was taken into custody
and locked up in the county Jail.
When they appeared in court yes.
terday morning they were a tough
looking outfit. Odwar had a beau
tiful black eye and Corners had his
head bandaged in several places 20
cover cuts alleged to have been in
ficted with razor in the hands If
Odwar. When the latter was scare l..
ed a razor was found in his pocke ct
Kelly, according to his own story,
had interferred to prevent the fight
and Odwar blames him for his black
eye.
Odwar was charged with assault
in the second degree to which he
pleaded not guilty. He will have is
hearing this afternoon.
Jack Murphy, an old offender,
who was given a 5O-day sentence
from which he was released only
day or two ago, got drunk again to
celebrate his release and was gather.
ed in. He was given another so day
dose.

THE WHY and
WHEREFORE
OF thes Contest Of the
Townsite
OF COLUMBIA FALLS.
Story From Helena Concerning the
Troubles Of Kalispells'
Neighbor.
n OF COLUMBIA FALLS.

Speaking of the action which has
been commenced contesting the title
to the Columbia Falls townsite, the
Helena Record says:
The law suit has grown out of the
efforts of number of Butte capital
lists to speculate on the Great North
ern railroad company's plans. Their
efforts failed and this accounts, so it
is said for the Great Northern divis-
ion point being located at Kalispell
instead of Columbia ais.
1t is asserted that these Butte cap
italists obtained inside information
that the Great Northern in building
it's line to the Pacific coast ten years
ago. would make Columbia Falls d.
vision point. Apparently there was
a great chance for speculation there
in and they took steps to acquire 100
acres OF land which the railroad
would be obliged to cross if the com
pany carried out it design, expect
ing to build there town and to make
the railroad company pay a good
price for entering it. The present
holders of the land, or the original
holders, procured it by means of In
dian scrip. and on it practically all Of
Columbia Falls was built. It is said
that the plaintiffs in the action Just
in G. itutod hopo RI roooyo, +;+lo a., ~ !.
town by raising question as to tn.
paternity of the Indian from whom
the scrip was obtained.
1t is understood nat the husband
OF the Mrs. Judge, and the late father
of her son Charles M. Judge, plain
tiffs in the action, acquired the inter-
ests OF the heirs of La Framboise, an
Indian from whom the land was &C.
quired by his second and third wives,
and that the plaintiffs will base their
claim to the title to the property upon
the contention that the Indian or half
breed. from whom the present own
ers obtained the La Framboise scrip
was not legitimate son of La Franz
boise, having been born some years
subsequent to La Franchises deser-
ton of his mother and that he was
never recognized by La Framboise as
his son.
Frank Langford resided at Butte at
the time the Great Northern contem-
plated making Columbia Falls the d.
vision point and it was he who or
ganized the improvement company
which developed the place. The par
ties to the Northern International I'M
provement company besides Langford
were James A. Talbot, Andrew !.
Davis, Jr., and J. E. Gaylord. A rep
resentative of the company went to
Columbia Falls, and filed on 100 acres
of land which is now brought into
litigation and which is now the site
of the town.
1t s estimated that about $4,000
was invested before the railroai
reached the town. A bridge viii IN
cost several thousand dollars was
built over the Flathead river. Al
Touring mill entailing an expenditure
of II ION $4,000 to $4,000, was set in
operation. The Gaylord hotel cost
ing upwards of $4,000, was built,
brick blocks were erected, bank was
started; and when the railroad arriy-
ed f1ourishing town was there TO
greet it.
