SUIT IN FEDERAL COURT.
Twenty-Five Residents OF Sage Creek Country
Made Defendants in Water Case.

AT the instance Of William A. Morris
of Frannie, Wyo., d complaint has been
prepared in this city, says the Billings
Gazette, for suit to be entered in the
federal court at Helena against twenty
five residents of this state to establish
his right to the waters of Sage creek.
The defendants all reside in Carbon
county and institution Of the action in
the United States court was made neces-
saay because Of the fact that the plain
tiff is citizen of another state. He
claims the water by reason OF priority Of
location, alleging that he was in the use
and enjoyment of the waters of the
stream long prior to their use by the
defendants.
For number of years a struggle has
been going on between the parties to
the action concerning their right to the
waters Of the stream named which has
it's source in this state. The Montana
men are believed to have the better Of
the contention, as they are situated near
the head waters of the creek and con
|sequently are supposed to have the first
right to its use.

FINNS HAVE A SCHEME
-
They Want to Buy Out Budas and Run a
Store on the Cooperative
Plan.
SUCCESS is DOUBTFUL
Thus Far the Movement Is Uncertain Of
Consummation Subscriptions to
Stock Not Large.

The Firms Of the city are attempting
large plan, having in view the establish
ment of stock company which shall
buy out Albert Budas. The scheme has
progressed to the extent that Il paper
has been circulated among the Finnish
people for subscriptions, but the plan
has not thus far met with sufficient
financial encouragement to insure its
ultimate success.
Those most interested in the scheme
are Of the opinion that il is out OF the
question to try to formulate such com
pany with less than $4,000 capital, and
it is a question whether such an amount
can be raised. The subscription paper
has been signed very generally among
the Finnish people, but the amounts
pledged are not yet sufficient 70 insure
the organization Of the proposed com
pany. Many have subscribed SO TO S2F',
but the number who have put UP from
500 to 5000 are not numerous, and SO
| tho total amount subscribed att present
only reaches about $1,000.
| The plan, however, has not been aban-
doned and May be brought about. MIR.
Budas was seen yesterday by The Picket
and stated that it was true that a sub
scription paper had been going the
rounds and had been generally signed
among the Finnish people, but that the
amount thus far subscribed was made
quate to bring about the establishment
of the cooperative company "lt takes
more capital to get into business as IL
stock company than for the individual,' =
said Mr.. Budas 'for the very simple
reason that an individuals property IS all
subject to his business debts, while a
corporation is only good for the amounts
subscribed to its capital stock by it's in
dividua stockholders. On the co-opera-
tive plan cash would be payed for all
goods and it would be necessary to have
a large working capital. / should say
that at least $4,000 would be needed
and nowhere near that sum has been sc
far subscribed
i Mr.. Budas said the ,talk was for the
cooperative company to buy him out
and that he was ready to sell to it ano
take stock in the company.
A similar organization to the one talk
ed of was once tried in the butcher busi
ness in Red Lodge when a cooperative
meat market was placed under the man
agement of Rees Davis. The venture
was failure and quit loser.

Assistant Principal Of Red Lodge High School
Secures Position in Anaconda.

Secures Position In Anaconda.
Miss NJ. M. Brashear, for three years
connected with the Red Lodge high
school as teacher and assistant principal,
was on Sunday last informed by tele-
gram that she had been chosen to the
important position Of instructor Of
English in the Anaconda high school.
Miss Brashear will accept the promotion
which comes to her in her chosen calling,
and as consequence the Red Lodge
high school will sustain a real loss and
one which it will be hard to make good.
An energetic and highly accomplished
woman. Miss Brashear has been one Of
the best teachers the Red Lodge schools
has ever had, and outside of her profes-
sion she has enjoyed a large friendship
with the townspeople who, while they
will rejoice at the recognition thus given
her fine abilities, will regret that she
does not come back to Red Lodge with
the opening of the next school year.
Miss Brashear expects to spend the sum
mer with friends at Lander, Wyo.

monkeys, to say nothing Of the many
other new and indescribable acts intro
duced, give to the aggregation more
power and pomp and splendor that ever.
Good, clean exhibitions are given.

A PLEASING EVENT.
Catholic Church Supper and Entertainment
Was Splendid Success.

The supper and entertainment given
at the opera house last evening by the
ladies Of st. Agnes Catholic church was
we'll patronized and proved q social and
financial success. The ladies served a
sumptuous repast and the many del
icacies disappeared like the first edi
tions Of popular novel.
The entertainment ended with "a
Tom Thumb Weddings. in which a
great company of little folks went
through the form OF big church we'd
ding. The parody upon the marriage
service was very clever and the audience
responded with many laugh at the
good-natured take-off upon the words
that bind. Leonard Richardson was
the minister, Elmer Austin the groom,
Mary Flaherty the blushing bride,
Pearl Smith the maid Of honor, Clarence
Hanley the best man, and Lena Baker,
Margie Van Cleave, Ethel Freeman and
Hattie Woods the bridesmaids. The
ushers, who, in their make believe swal-
lowtail coats, seated the vast company in
Fifth avenue style, we're Masters Frank
Dunn, John Armstrong, Don McLennan
and Courtland Coon. Before the mock
marriage there was a short program
Mrs. Sprague and Anna Slcora appear
ing in piano duet, ten little girls sing
ing "a Cloud Song" and recitations
being given by Katie Youngholter, Mollie
Fleming and Miss Nellie O'Rourke
After the program Rev. Fr. Stack
thanked the people Of Red Lodge fo1
their generous patronage and said ne
was glad to see the spirit of non sectar
ianism that prevailed in the city, where
all denominations turned in to make
such affairs successful regardless o1
church affiliations.
A rattle for a large illuminated parlo1
lamp then took place, number lao, which
was not found in the audience present
being the lucky number in the drawing
The supper and rattle cleared about

Locate the Jail Breaker.

from a weeks trip to the Big Horn, Dry
Head and the Grow reservation, upon
which he was accompanied by Special
Deputy Clabe Young Of Piney. Two
horses, which disappeared at the time
Dave Briscoe took Ed Allings horse
near Bridger, we're recovered by the
sheriff, the animals being found by him
on the reservation and at a point close
to where Alling's horse was tracked by
him the first of the month. The animals
were owned by a neighbor Of Alling's.
During the trip the sheriff made dill
gent inquiry for a Jail breaker who
escaped from the Carbon county bastile
u year ago last fall, but, althoughit was
supposed when he left here that the tip
received was a good one. it was apparent
that the man wanted had not been il

informed the OUTLAW had been seen.
The sheriff stopped in Bridger On his
trip and relates that Wednesday he saw
a horse belonging to Robert Scott which
was making live Of it with three
quarter Of an inch rubber hose doing
duty for windpipe. The horse became
fast III its stall few nights ago and
when released It's head ana neck were
swollen to almost twice their natural
size. Dr.. Gates was called il and he IT,
serted the hose, with the result that tbs
horse can breathe eand partake of sufficient
