The Storm.

The storm that reached this section
Monday seems to be general through
out the State. Every paper that has
arrived contains accounts Of the big
Snow fall and all the agriculturists
are wearing broad smiles. The local
railroad seemed to have hard time
with the snow yesterday and it toook
two engines to make a path to Vir-
ginia city. The local train was also
badly delayed and did not reach this
city until late in the afternoon The
snow fall on the Comstoc!l is report
ed the heaviest since the winter of
1890, with three feet of Snow on the
level. The weather bureau predicts
continuance of the storm and pre-
diets snow or rain today

Judge Mack, who returned from To-

of that camp He says
the company has started their new
three-compartment shaft, which they
are putting down in first class shape
and timbering it very substantially.
The water is the unsolved problem,
but there are four sources from which
a supply may be obained, that matter
seems easy of settlement. The ore
is stacked up like a lot of forts, and
the pile owned by Frank Golden
would make mans eyes stick out
People are going to the camp rapidly
and while the Judge was there the
number of passengers who arrived on
the stage numbered from nineteen to
twenty-five daily.-Enterprise.

A Writers Suicide.

Yesterday San Francisco papers
bring the details of the suicide of
Colon, in Los Angeles. Suf-
fng from Bright's disease, he blew
out his brains with a six shooter.
Nearly a quarter of century ago Ed
Colon was one of the leading writer's
in Nevada and was employed on the
Virginia Chronicle, in it's palmy days.
He removed to California and
founded the Stockton Mail. It soon
became the leading interior paper of
California. ColOns writing was con-
spicuous for it's trenchent force and
it's splendid logic
No editor in California could worst
him in an argument on any public
question:. He was power in politics
and did much to build up the city of
Stockton and infuse a healthy public
spirit in the minds of it's citizens.
By his death the coast loses one OF
it's representative citizens. He was
man of courage and high sense OF
honor with an ability as writer that
will make it hard for his place as edi
tor of the Mail to be filled. The APP
peal extends condolences to his fam
| lily which consists of a wife and dau
ghter.

THE RAILROAD ASSESSMENT.
State Board of Equalization May In
r crease the Figures.

Helena Herald: Blanks are being
sent the railroad companies by the
state board Of equalization, asking for
a report of improvements and extern
sions made during the year. 1t is In
derstood that the board OF equaliZa-
ton contemplates making an increase
in the valuation of railroads paying
taxes in this state. 1t is believed that
a majority Of the members of the
board favor the change and will vote
to increase the valuation placed Upon
the common carriers Of Montana.
Last year the Northern Pacific rail
way paid on it's main line taxes based
on a valuation of $4,000 a mile. When
the Northern Securities company was
organized the valuation of the North
ern Pacific railroad was put in at 1884,
600 per mile. Some of the state Of
ficials who are members of the board
! of equalization believe that what is
sauce for the goose should be sauce
for the gander. At least there is such
a glaring discrepancy in the figures at
which the railroads pay taxes and the
valuation placed on the road when
floating the stock Of the Northern Sc
curities company that the matter will
at least bear some investigation.
Last year in round figures the rail-
roads paid taxes on property valued
by the board at $15,4OO, 900, which was
an increase of nearly a half million
over the preceding year. While the
board made no material increase in
the valuation last year, it taxed for
the first time the railroad franchises.
Franchises of all the roads except the
Northern Pacific are now taxed at
from $25 to 5000 per mile.

INCREASES THE SUPPLY.
Result That Follows Reservoirinu In
Northern Montana.

Nof1nern montana.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
L. H. Mills of the Whitewater coun-
try was in town Friday and Saturday,
says the Malta Enterprise. Mr.. Mills
says the dam he put in on Whitewater
carries ten feet of water and the lake
formed by the dam covers over 500
acres of land and furnishes an abund-
ance of water, both for irrigation and
stock purposes. Mr.. Mills expects to
enlarge the dam curing the next sea-
son and will then have water enough
to irrigate all the land within reach of
the reservoir. By holding the water
to a rise of ten feet, it has kept the
creek open for several miles above
the dam, and large numbers of range
cattle are wintering in that locality.
Below the dam about two miles, the
water comes up again where it has
always been dry, and flows a stream
as large as an irrigation ditch. This
goes to show that r"eservoiring OF
many dry streams will result in max
ing running streams.

Or the day previous to the shooting
Seville and Hunt had trouble with a
gang of toughs and fearing a further
attack, Seville went home and pfepar-
ed himself for their coming. Shortly
afterward Hunt went to Seville's
house and after rapping on the door
asked to be admitted. Thinking it
was his enemies who were after him,
Seville became frightened and fired
through a panel Of the door. The bull
lst struck Hunt in a vital spot and he
fell dead on the doorstep.
Hunt was well known to many peo'
pie of this city and also had a large

FREIGHT POkES ITS NOSE INTO
PASSENGER.
SLEEPERS RuOELY ROuSED
Collision At Logan Followed BY No
Very Serious ResuIts-No-
body Injured.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.

Yesterday mornings eastbound
Northern Pacific passenger train due
her at S:45 failed to arrive until al
most 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The
delay was occasioned by an accident
which befell the train at Logan, the
junction of the Butte Short Line and
the main road. s#
Although nothing more serious re-
suited than the partial demolition of
the rear platform of the sleeping car
Olympia and the breaking of a couple
of windows of the sleeper Hoquiam,
which was attached to the Olympia,
the escape from death the inmates of
the cars had was probably as mar
row as any of them ever wish to have.
The passenger train was standing on
the Short Line track where it joins
the main line, waiting for a freight
from the west. Through some mis-
caluation, either on the part of the
engineer of the incoming train Or the
crew of the passenger, the engine
of the former ran into the two Sleep
ing cars where they we're coupled
together. The impact was sufi cient
to push them from the track and to
one side.
The accident occurred somewhere
about 4 O'Clock this morning and the
inmates of the two cars were asleep.
The noise made by the collision and
the iolting of the cars awoke every
body and for a few minutes the great
est CONSERVATION prevailed among the
passengers. Both train crews, as soon
as possible, made their way to the
cars and quieted the passengers, all of
whom were struggling to get out, re-
CARELESS of the fact that the thermom-
eter "a registering around the zero
point and they were not clad to face
a blizzard or even receive company.
In a short time it was found that
nobody was injured and the passen.
gers returned to their cars and dres
sed themselves.
It being found that the sleepers
were not damaged sufficiently to ne
cessitate their abandonment, help was
secured and they were put back onto
the rails and the train proceeded or
it's way.

NOTED CASE
DISPOSED OF
ART TIN PROVES HIMSELF A
POOR SLAYER.
MAS. TIN GETS DIVORCE
Defendant Fails to Appear and De-
fend Suit Brought BY His
Wife.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.

From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
The first divorce case to be tried in
a Montana court wherein both of the
principals were Chinese was disposed
of in the district court of this county,
yesterday. And it wasn't much of q
case, at that. The defendant de-
faulted and consequently those who
had assembled in the court room with
the expectation of seeing and heal
ing something unusual in the way Of
q law suit were disappointed.
The title Of the action was Ching
Ping Tin VS.. Art Tin. Attorney Allen
appeared for the plaintiff and Judge
Goss was on hand to perform like ser
vices for the defendant, had that in
dividual shown up.
!. When the case was called Judge
Goss informed the court that he would
withdraw from the trial because Of
the shabby way his client had treated
both him and the court by his failure
be present and make good all the
things he declared he could prove in
his defense when the time for the
test came. .
Nj. Alien lie said he was prepared to
go ahead with the and a jury was
empanelled and the following were
sworn to try the case: John Folmer,
George Herbert, CLAUS Nilsson, W. A.
Enochs, Fred Stoltz, F. A. Johnston,
F. H. Young, E. ". Szitnick, William
,Talcott, J, L: Fraser, Mike Lavelle
and David Fratt.
Plaintiffs attorney made his open
ing statement after which Mrs. Tin
took the stand. She testified in sup
port of the allegations contained in
the complaint and made it appear that
Art was anything but a good and de-
voted husband. She said he had de-
serted her and wilfully neglected to
supply her with the common neces-
saries of life, compelling her to shift
for herself as best she could.
Martin Gates was another witness
and he substantiated much testified to
by the woman. .@.
This was all the testimony offered
and the case was submitted.
A verdict was returned in a few
minutes in favor of the plaintiff and
judgment and decree were ordered.

Weekly Meeting Well Attended De-
spite Zero Weather.

spite zero Weather.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
The cool, crisp air did not in any
way interfere with the attendance at
the meeting of the Woman's club yes
terday afternoon. The theme for
study was the fourth act of king
Lear" and Mrs. James Mccormick
was the leader for the afternoon.
The act, which is an especially
tragic one, was read and discussed,
after which the leader gave a most
entertaining talk on the works Of
Fortuny. She first described his
sketches that were made when he was
a mere child and which are commonly
known as the thumb-nail sketches.
"The Battle Scene" In the art CALLER
les at Barcelona and which it took
years to complete, was also described,
as we'll as his two famous paintings
"The Camels At Rest" and "The
Spanish Lady which hang in the
New York art gallery. Mrs. McCor-
mick and Mrs. Clement each gave a
description of these paintings, the
knowledge of which was gained by
their recent visit to the gallery.
The art talks were followed by an
interesting book review by Mrs. Cas-
sinner Prudhomme. She prefaced her
review with a five minute talk on the
different periods which the literary
tastes of the American people have
passed through in the past, SO years,
and then gave a synopsis of the style
and thought of the II most popular
books of the past two years. She
said that while they contained much
that should be condemned there were
some features well worthy of common
dalton. She then reviewed the second
most popular of the II, "Granstark'
by McCutcheon of Chicago.
The author whose book has won
such popularity is the son of I. D. Nc
Cutcheon, who was at one time sec
rotary of Montana territory.
