LOSES HIS LEG.
Amputation Resorted to in Case o
Mcbride.

John P. Mcbride, the young man
who was the victim of a pistol shot
fired at the hands of Patrolman Hay
den two nights ago, will, if he sur
wives the injury, go through the re-
fainder of his life with but one leg.
He was placed on the operating table
at st. Vincent's hospital this after
noon for the purpose of amputating
the wounded leg above the knee. 1t
was stated before the operation was
begun by the surgeons that the
chances were against the young man
going through the ordeal successful
ly.
AS one of the results of the shoot
ing, Hayden has been relieved from
further duty by Mayor George, and it
is said that the matter of damages
against the city has been submitted
to Lawyer Goddard by the parents
of Mcbride. The measure of dam

not been named, as the sum is to be

ATTEMPT TO DISBAR SHORES
AND sTIvERs.
AMALcAMA7ED ATTORNEYS
Proceedings Grow Out of Minnie
HeaIy Mining Case-A Re-
%taIiatory Measure.

Butte, Mont, Nov. 20.-Another
chapter in connection with the Min
ME Healy mining case that has in
the past year been so prolific Of start
ling sensations, was presented in the
district court today. Now Judge z.
w. Harvey, who made the decision,
seeks to disbar A. ]. Shores and D'Gay
Stivers, who are prominent attor-
neys of the Amalgamated company.
These attorneys were generally re-
puted to have been instrumental in
the securing Of a number of afidavits
alleging drunkenness and debauchery
against Harvey.
1t was alleged that Judge Harvey,
while under the influence of intoxi-
cants, was unduly Influenced in max
ing his decision by Mrs. Ada H. Brack-
EFT, who, it was claimed, was in tbs
employ of Heinze, in whose favor tine
decision in the mine case was given.
n HetalIatOfy measure.
The disbarment proceeding would
seem to be in the nature of a retalia-
tory measure on the part of Judge
Harvey for the afidavits that were
presented against him. He now claims
that the attorneys for the Amalga-
mated company approached him with
offers of big brides, in order to induce
him to make a decision in the case in
their favor. Further, it is claimed
that Mrs. Bracket, instead Of being
in. the employ of Heinze, was, during
those troublous times sought to be
used as a tool by Amalgamated attor-
neys. and they attempted to induce
her to use her influence with Judge
Harvey in the attempt alleged to have
been made to get him to give a deci-
sion in their favor.
The story Of the attempted bribery
is a rehash of the charges that were
made in the columns of the Heinze
newspaper organ during the cam
paign.
Kennedy a Cop etitioner.
In the petition for the disbarment
of Decay Stivers, Judge Harvey has
a co-petitioner in the person of Jacob
M. Kennedy. \
1t is stated that Kennedy has per-
sonal knowledge that some of the al
legations made in the petition
against Attorney Stivers are true. At
the time Of the lively occurrences that
have since caused so much trouble
and comment, it was said that .Kenne-
dy was doing some detective work
for his employer, and no doubt it was
in that manner that he secured the al
legged knowledge of the alleged trans
actions rejecting upon Attorneys
Shores and D'Gay Stivers.
In Judge Harney's petition against
Attorney Shores he asks that the lat
ter's name be stricken from the roll
of attorneys of the court, and that he
be precluded from practicing in the
courts of the state permanently.
A notice is attached to each of the
petitions which reads:
The Notice.
ct is ordered that the above petl-
ton be presented to Department III.
of the district court of the second
judicial district of the state of Mon
tana and the Hon. John McClernan,

Clancy and Judge Edward W. Harvey.

Mrs. Gerald Panton was elected the
guest of honor, at her own home in
North Thirtieth street Saturday at
ternoon by a party of unlimited guests.
The occasion was Mrs. Panton's
birthday, and the ladies came prepar-
ed to spend the afternoon, carrying
workbags and provided with refresh
ments. A delightful afternoon was
spent, and, as is their custom upon
such occasions the ladies left behind
them as a souvenir of the happy oc-
casion a handsome spoon.
The members of the Birthday club
assembled Thursday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. C. F. Furton, in North
Thirtieth street. On this occasion it
was not to celebrate anyone's birth
day, however, but to engage in an
old-fashioned quilting bee. The ladies
of this organization have the happy
faculty of uniting work and play in a
manner which is both pleasant and
profitable. This occasion proved no
exception to the rule. They had their
usually good time and also accomplish
ed a very satisfactory amount of
work.
A very happy event was the sur
prise party which took place Monday
evening at the pretty new home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. McIlroy in North
Thirtieth street. The guests were
the members of the dry goods depart
ment of Yegen Bros. AS an evidence
of the esteem in which Mrs. McIlroy
is held by them, and in remembrance
of their pleasant associations togeth-
er, besides a handsome chair with
which they presented her, each guest
was provided with an individual gift.
At a social session of the Yoeman
lodge during the week a handsome
silver salver was presented to Mr..
and Mrs. Peat as a bridal gift and in
recognition of the ~bridegroom's
standing in the society.
Mrs. Worthington and her daugh-
tiers, mother and sisters of Mr.. Leon
ard Worthington, have come from
Beatrice, Neb., to make their home
in Billings. They are domiciled in
a handsome brick house recently built
in North Thirtieth street, in the Bur-
lington addition.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith of Cincinnati,
O., spent a few days in the city dur
ing the week, visiting their friends,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Marble. They
were en- route to California to spend
the winter.
Mrs. Paul Mccormick, who has
spent the past two months visiting
in Tacoma and Seattle, is expected
home tomorrow morning, just in time
to for the immense family
dinner party, which takes place an
nually in the Daniel Boone cabin on
Thanksgiving. Guests are expected
fran various parts of Wyoming, as
we'll as from Montana.
Mrs. Townsend, who, with her lit
tie daughter, has been visiting rela-
tives in the city for the last two

The Billings Woman's club held its
weekly meeting yesterday afternoon.
The first act of Anthony and Cleo
patra" was taken up, under the lead
ership Of Mrs. j. Sherman. She read
an article upon the play, which proved
very helpful in the study that fol-
lowed. A delightful paper on the
works of Holbein was read by Miss
Hetty Crawford. 1t was illustrated
by copies of some of his most noted
works, which she had hung on the
walls. Mrs. j. j. Mccormick de-
scribed a painting of his, a picture of
Cranmer, which she had seen. It
hangs in an art gallery in New York.
Mrs. Jones, who had been asked to
prepare an article on a statesman,
had selected John Hay, as being one
of the most interesting of the times.
Her paper was an excellent one, and
was thoroughly enjoyed by those who
heard it.
Miss Daisy OFT was the guest of
honor at a very pleasant party, given
by Mrs. George Robbins Wednesday
evening. The flowers used in deco
rating were chrysanthemums and car
nations. The evenings entertainment
began with the distribution Of cards,
upon each of which was an initial let
ter. AS each letter was read aloud,
the guests were called upon to men-
ton some noted person, whose initial
it was. To Mr.. H. G. Crippen, who
was the most successful in this con-
test, was given a boquet of chrysan-
themums.
Pieces of paper and pencils were
now distributed and each person was
asked to draw the portarait of some
other person present. Miss Linean,
who was fortunate in securing a good
likeness of her subject, was reward
ed with a picture of the Madonna,
while to Mr.. G. G.. Bever, whose pic
ture was considered as unlike the per
son whose likeness he tried to catch
as it was possible for it to be, was
presented the accumulated efforts of
all the embryo artists present.
Refreshments were served, and the
party broke up, after what was gen
orally pronounced to be an unusual
ly jolly evening. The guests were the
Misses Hood, Linean, OFT, Brewer,
Fredendall, Florence Cairns, Laura
earns, Anderson, and Messrs. Roach,
j. Mccormick, D. Latin. Kirk, Beyer,
Scott and Crippen.
