Buttes famous dog catcher. Alex
@ Bannon, who has been conspicuous "a
the public's eye for several weeks,
is again in trouble. Alexis troubles
are as numerous as flies in the
summer time but they worry the
dusky cur killer hardly as much
as would good sized gnat. This
time the entire force Of dog catchevs
have taken a vacation until Alex is able
to straighten out the tangle which has
stopped the progress Of Butte's canine
annihilating society. This time O'Ban-r

When O'BannOn was duly appointed
official dog catcher Of Butte he was pro-
vided with a four-year-old club. big
shining star and a horse pistol which
had done service for the first b!Ie coae
the city had on it's pay roll. The negro
walked from the police station as proud
as a 3-year-old colt and nabbed the first
dog his shining eyes spied. Here it was
that the new official discovered that he
was short of apparatus for the speedy
capture and transportation of the willy
anines whose masters We're negligent in
providing them with the emblems of
peace with O'Bannon. The negro had no
wagon or cart and he lost little time in
making that known at headquarters

HENRY A. ROOT GIVES HIS
Account Of Defendanta
SIDE Of |NGERS0LL Case

the Butte d Boston stock had been sold
nearly half million dollars. He said
for $4,000 that the First National bank
OIL BUTTE had been decreed to belong to
a. J. Davis. Jr., and that instead of the
estates stock in the First National bank
oi Helena being an asset, there had been
an assessment on it of nearly 5000. 900
he said that all of the counsel who had
mace agreements for compensation hal
reduced their claims very largely on ac-
count or the great shrinkage in the es-
tate, ana that he had arranged in .
similar way with Colonel Ingersol1 nrio,.
TO mis- DEATH Mr.. Root further said thai
ne supposed that an agreement had been
niaue with MRS. 1ngersoll before he left
New York quite recently.
Mr. Root in answer to further oues
tons said, that he was not at all snr-
prised that Mrs. Ingersoll was greatly
disappointed because of the fact that
there was nothing Of a substantial
amount being paid out at the present
Tune; that all the heirs and other people
interested felt in similar manner: that
lie had been trying for the last three
years TO procure the distribution of the
remaining personality OF the estate. and
that a hearing of such application was
now pending and would be disposed Of
early in September.
Being asked If any hostility existed
between himself and Mrs. Ingersoll. or
If there is any likelihood Of a contested
litigation. Mr.. Root said that such a
situation would be absolutely impossi-
BILE; that he was making and had been
making every effort for years to see that
the small amount of money, which be-
longed to the estate was distributed as
equitably as possible. He said, that
under no circumstances could he i'm
agine himself as opposing any claim
that Mrs. 1ngersoll might make, be-
cause he knew her we'll and she was as
honorable lady as her good husband
was a man.
Mr.. Root. on being questioned regard
ing the value of the Davis estate stated
that there had been $500, 900 distributed:
that there was less than that amount Of
money still to be distributed and that
the heirs Of the estate own a certain
number Of mining claims in Butte, the
value Of which might be large or small
according to the results Of development.

ter today. Judge Harvey not being in
town and the complaint having been filed
in Department No. 2, Judge Clancy was
prevailed upon to hear the motion.
In presenting the Boston & Montana
side of the matter Mr.. Forbis said the
pleas in support of the restraining order
had been made on information and be-
lief and were not positive, as required
by law. The statutes of the state, he
said, provided specifically that before a
restraining order could be issued in ac-
cordance with law it must be supported
by positive knowledge.
I'VE attack the whole complaint" said
Mr.. Forbis, but there is one thing in
particular to which we desire to call
your attention. BY the terms of that
restraining order the officers of the Bos-
ton & Montana are prevented from act
ing as such officers, their power being
suspended in direct violation of the
statutes. There is no question as to our
company acting in lawful manner:
and it would be dereliction of duty on
the part of it's officers if they did not
so act. MacGinniss is attempting to de-
stroy the corporation and prevent 1t
from dealing fairly with it's stockholders.
It is quite evident that the whole pro-
ceeding is unfair and unjust. We ask
the court for fair hearing in this mat
ter"
When court adjourned for the noon
hour Mr.. Mediation was arguing the
case from the MacGinniss standpoint.
At the conclusion of the case Judge
Clancy said he would render his decision
Saturday morning.

He Casts Considerable Light Upon the
Case in Which the Widow of the
Famous Lawyer Is Suing for
Fees Alleged to Have Been
nNe Her Hu chaud

Mr.. Henry A. Root came up this morn
ing from the Horr coal mines, where he
has been with several friends for the
last week. He was met by a representa-
tive of the Inter Mountain and asked re-
garding the suit of Mrs. Ingersoll, the
executrix of Colonel Robert G. Inge:-
soils estate. against himself, Mr.. Cora m
and the Davis heirs. He said that /.
would be in his Judgment highly i'm
proper for him to make any statement
regarding the merits of controversy
already in court. but that as far as he
was concerned. he was very much sur
prised that the action had been COM
menced, and only learned it from Mr.
Cotter, who had been visiting him at
Eorr
In reply to question Mr.. Root stated
that the relations existing between ne
and his relatives. and Mrs. Ingersoll had
be en- always most cordial. as they had
been with Colonel Ingersol, though he
had not seen Mrs Ingersoll since the
coonels death. He said that at the time
the various contracts We're made with
the attorneys who represented the con-
testants side of the Davis litigation the
estate was very large and the contracts
were made accordingly, and that among
other contracts there was the agreement
to pay Colonel Insersoll 100000 for his
services. He said that Colonel Ingersoll
came out here frequently and rendered
most valuable services and that he was
entitled to the greatest consideration
while living, and that Mrs. Ingersoll was
entitled to and would receive every con-
sideration which it would be at any time
IL his power to give, insofar as compen-
alton Is concerned. without regard to
what he might himself receive from the
estate. He further said that the estate
ten years ago was supposed to be a very
wealthy one: that it owned half of the
Butte & Boston Mining company's stock:
it was then supposed that it owned the
First National bank of Butte, and it did
own half Of the First National bank

EXCURSIONS CALL FOR CARS
Coaches Will Be Sent East From Butte
3 Gossip Of the Summer Excursion
Business.

THE long trains of passenger cars
that have stood on our side tracks here
Tor some weeks will soon take their flight
to the east and west, to take part in the
great harvest excursions that mark the
agricultural regions, said w. H. Merri
man of the Northern Pacific. They
have taken a good rest here in Montana
for the most part; now their busy sea-
son is just beginning. Around Mandan.
N. D., and some of the other great grain
centers, the people flock in to the fairs
ana pumpkin shows by the thousands.
They haven't time during the summer 10
do their visiting, but the fall after
the grain is in the granaries, is their
season of rest, and they enjoy it to the
utmost. They will use every car we can
send into that part of the country. Their
crops are good this year. and the travel
should be exceptionally good.
Some Of the cars go west, too, to Spo-
Kane as a center. There the county fair
is more Of success Nan it is here,
where agriculture is little practiced.
They take their outings in the fall ana
enjoy them, too. Our trains out on the
coast will be busy all the fall.
