,HACkMEN. HAVE FUN
MAN WITH A ROLL TAKES A RIDE
FOR NOTHING.
WHISTLES FOR PATROL WAGON
Thinks He Is Out Twenty Dollars and
Goes Away Protesting at the In
justice He Thinks He
Met With.

He was in from Pony to see the sights
and as he stepped from the hotel this
morning, he looked good to a Butte
hackman.
Carriage, sir?" said the jehu.
when does that train leavef" said
the Pony man, with attempted indiffer-
"She leaves in five minutes, sir" said
the hackman with the ready lie lorn OF
years Of practical deception. Jump
right in and We'll make 1t.
20. M" said he as he climbed up into
his seat.
Now the man from Pony didn't know
but that &c. N" like 20. K" and "a
T." was some catch-phrase of the street
with which all city people were familiar,
so he nodded assent, winked knowingly
and was whrled off to the Great North
ern depot where he discovered that the
train had left an hour before, and that 1t
wasn't the Pony train after all.
Apologizing to the driver for his ig-
norance, he pulled from his coon-skin
overcoat a long canvas sack. which In
his excitement he dropped on the side
walk. and out of which rolled what
looked like the proceeds of Pony mine,
| gold yellow gold, ten-dollar pieces,
-
| all sizes and values.
| He scrambled around awkwardly pick
| ing up his wealth while the hackman
| stood at his horses heads and grinned
| from ear to ear.
Finally the gold was all back In the
sack and the hackman received his fee
| and drove off, when i Jew loafers, who
stood near and who saw the perform
ance. thinking to have some fun With the
| fellow, told him that the driver had got
| away with q twenty ydollar gold piece
The second act of the comedy was
| played in front of Main street store.
| where a number of hackmen were lined
| up
"Ysu picked up twenty dollars of
| mine," said the man from Pony TO his
| acquaintance of the morning.
There isn't that much money in the
| world" said he of the ready lie.
"Where'll ! get pollceman?"
You'll need patrol wagon" said one
of the hackmen, who rejolces in the So
brquet of Red Dick" Go into that
| store and whistle three times into
that tube pointing to the telephone.
Much to the amusement of the crowd
In the store he stalke.! parsed up his
lips and gave the appointed signal to the
imaginary police station at the other end
and then came out and made search
of the hack, under the cushions and In
every Imaginable corner.
Say" said RED Dick" authoritative
| ly, to the stranger who was waiting In
vain for the patrol wagon, you come
here. There isn't a ,lackman in Butte
| would pick up twenty dollar riece II
he saw 1t lying on the street; these fell
lows are all wealthy; they went on q
strike here a few days ago, because they
| were getting too much money; you take
my advice and go back out to Pony, Oh
that fellow will have you arrested foi

The man from Pony departed protest
ing against the injustice with which he
was treated and vowing vengeance or
| the innocent hackmen.

DECISION RESERVED
MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL IN
MINNIE HEALEY CASE.
ON SENSATIONAL. AFFlDAvITS
Judge Harvey Takes It Under Advise
ment-Bill Of Exceptions and State
ment on Motion -or New Trial
Corrected.

Judge Harney has taken the motion
of the plaintiff, Miles r'ineln, in the lat
ter's suit against II. Augustus Heinze
over the Minnie Healey mine, for new
trial under advisement. The motion was
presented without argument, upon the
sensational affidayits filed In the case
some months ago.
Attorney L. j. Walsh represented the
plaintiff in the presentation of the mo-
tion and Judge Mediation was in court
in behalf of Heinzes interests.
In the same suit a motion by the
plaintiff asking the court to strike out
Heinze's cost bill on the ground that 1t
was not filed within the five days al
lowed by law for that purpose was not
decided.
Judge Mediation opposed the motion
on the ground that he was absent in
California after the trial of the suit dur
ing the five days set by law for the filing
of cost bills and was unavoidably pre-
vented from filing the bill
Not Certain Of Law.
Judge Harney was not certain of the
law in the case, and asked Attorney Nc
Donald and Judge McHatton. who
brought the matter before him, TO pre-
sent the law on the question ar some
other time.
Judge Mediation also moved the court
to vacate the order settling the plaint-
ffs bill OF exceptions and statement on
motion for new trial.
This was resisted by Attorney Walsh
and an agreement was finally reached
between the lawyers that certain cor
rections in tho bill and statement de-
sired by Judge Nc Hatton should be
made and the bill and statement be AL
lowed to stand.
The decision of Judge Harvey upon the
motion for new trial in the case will be
awaited with much interest.

LOOK FOR MARKET
MILK RIVER FARMERS WOULD
SELL HAY IN BUTTE.
MILD WINTER MAKES SURPLUS
Settled Up-Rivers Tapped and
Turned Over Productive
Valleys.

II am up here on a new enterprise"
said Julius Lehfeldt, formerly large
stock grower, but now a prosperous
merchant of Chinook. at the Finen yes
terday.
IL am seeing what kind of market
Butte will make for our Milk River hay;
we are raising more hay down there than
we can use and this mild winter hss
given us hay to burn or to SELL
you people here have no idea how that
Milk River country has settled up dur
ing the last five years. From Big
Sandy east for two hundred miles al
most. extends a valley in places six miles
wide, and on this hundreds and hundreds
of settlers have made improvements in
recent years.
MILK river has seven or eight dams
now and so much water has been taken
out that In the summer time the river is
dry east of Malta.
Many Settlers Expected
I'VE expect hundreds of settlers In there
next spring: there is lots of room for
them yet. l believe In a few years that
every foot of land down there will be
taken up right east to the Dakota line.
down there with irrigation and nothing
can beat Montana blue joint.
II expect to bring SO carloads of 1t
to Butte this winter or about 500 tons.
Every little rancher down there has
hay baler and bales his hay right on
his own ranch; there Is comparatively
no expense In raising 1t; we just turn
the water on in the spring, and the only
cost connected with 1t Is the cutting.
This has been the most wonderful
winter down there. Stock are feeding
out on the long bunch grass on the prairie
as they do in the early fall We have
had no snow and no matter how hard 1t
may come from this on, 1t cannot be a
| severe winter on Montana stockmen.
Most of the large owners have their
hay in the stack yet untouched. No.
they won't sell 1t; well get hard winter
one of these years and that old hay
VIII be like old gold"
Mr. Lehfeldt left for his home last
