POINT IN BANKRUPTCY LAW.

POINT IN BANKRUPTCY LAW.
Forum: An important case came
before Judge Amidon in the United
States district court Thursday regard
ing the matter of voluntary and in
voluntary petitions in bankruptcies.
Last September an involuntary petit
tion in bankruptcy was filed against
VIM. ]. Dwyer by some Of his cred
itors. While the matter was pending
the bankrupt came into court and
filed a voluntary petition, without no.
tice to creditors. He was adjudgcd
a bankrupt. Thursday Messrs. New
man, ~Spalding & Stambaugh, the att
torneys for the creditors, appeared he
fore Judge Amidon and asked that the
judgment be set aside for the reason
that the fraudulent preferments they
claimed Dwyer had made would be
rendered un~assailable, by reason of
the expiration of the four months
limitation in such cases fixed by the
bankruptcy act. Upon the hearing
the court held that a bankrup. is not
entitled as a matter Of right to an ad-
Judgment of bankruptcy upon his VOL
untary petition, while an involuntary
petition is pending until the latter
petition is disposed of.

Over 10000 copies of the special
edition of the Bismarck Tribune will
be issued and a large proportion of
these will be sent to Iowa, Minnesota,
Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin peo-
pie who r making inquiries about
this section of the state, with a view
of locating here. This issue will be
the most profusely illustrated paper
ever issued in the northwest and the
matter is designed to cover as far as
possible any inquiries that may be
made about this region. It is the aim
of the publishers to make the paper as
conservative and complete as possible.
The Tribune will deem it a special
favor if farmers, dairymen, stockmen
and others will send us for publication
a brief history of their experiences in
this section, as we'll as their opinion
of the resources and advantages of the
Missouri slope.

1T MAKES NO DIFFERENCE AS TO
THE SIZE OF THE POLICY THE
N. Y. LIFE PAYS PROMPTLY.
San Francisco, Cal, July 5, 1901.-
Hon. John A. Mccall, President New
York Life Insurance Co., 346 Broad
way, New York, Dear Sir: Having
just received settlement for my policy
of twenty thousand ($2O,OOO dollars
taken out in your company twenty
years ago, in which was paid me the
sum of thirty-one thousand, five hun
dred and sixty dollars and twenty
cents ($31,560. 2O), at your San Fran
cisco office, I desire to express my ap-
preciative satisfaction with the re-
suits. ..
To my mind this policy proves to
be an investment of the first class,
because it returned all the money de-
posted together with accommodations
amounting to nearly twelve thousand
$12,OOO) dollars, besides affording
protection to my family during pend
ency of the contract.
In view of the vicissitudes attend
ing the business life of our time, in
my Judgment, no young man can af-
ford to neglect the opportunities Of
fered for investment by your great
company.
Cordially yours,

without resistance, and is now con
fined in Jail awaiting the action of the
officials.
The visit of States Attorney Allen,
Coroner White and the jury to the
Hibbs ranch this week convinced them
that there had been foul play in the
case. They made a close examina-
ton of the we'll and it's surroundings
and experimental with the pulley,
ropes, and well bucket to Satisfy
themselves of the probabilities, in a s
CT such an accident as it was claimed
a resulted in the death of Hibbs.
Tests were made at fastening and un-
fastening the pulley, to repair which
1t was claimed Hibbs was engaged
when he met the mishap that resulted
IN his death. They found that, from
the table on which it was claimed
Hibbs was standing when he fell, he
Fad fallen, not directly forward, but
almost to one side, and that the blood
was upon the ice, eighteen inches to
two feet from the well, beyond the
curbing, at the side of the we'll, and
not beyond it, as it would nave been
If he had. fallen directly forward.
They found also that the ice about the
we'll, inclined outward and downward
from the we'll, SO that the struggles
OF a person lying with his head where
the blood was, would naturally carry
him from the well, instead of back in
to it. They found also that there
was curbing about the well, on the
side where the young man must have
lain, which would also have rendered
it difficult for him to get back into it.
There was blood upon the boards Of
h well curb on that side, and the
boards had been taken from the well,
n N Of them was found near an
Old granary. Experiments with the
we'll bucket showed that if the pulley
had been released at the top, or was
lying on the ground, as it was claimed
was the Ease after Hibbs fell, a tran

to sink and disappear fom sight i'm
mediately so that under all the coli
d1tions claimed to exist on the morn
ing that Hibbs met his death lit would
have been impossible for May and
Mrs. Hibbs to have seen Hibb's body
resting on the top Of the bucket at the
surface OF the water, or to see sthe
bucket at all, as. the ropes above being
released, the bucket would have sum-,
out OF sight. A number of experi-
ments were made with the bucket, al
ways with the same result, that when
the ropes were released, the bucket
sank. Members Of the jury also ex-
perimented with the release of the
upper pulley from the top. Of the tri-
pod, and found 1t easily accomplished,
and not accompanied with any such
effort as would be likely to result in
an accident. It was also found that

May had picked the ice stained with

Physicians Give 1t AS Their Opinion
That Injury Was Caused by.
Some Blunt Weapon.
Prisoner Will Probably Be Arraign=
ed for Preliminary Examina=
tior1, on Monday.

That Harry G. Hibbs, the ranchman
who was found dead in a we'll on his
place was murdered, was the verdict
of the coroner's jury which has been
investigating the case since the death
of ,Hibbs was reported about the mid
die of January. The verdict Of the
jury, consisting Of G. c. Wachter, John
C. SWEET and Henry w. Richholt, was
returned at about 1920 last night,
after the entire day had been occupied
with a rigorous cross-examination of
the principal, witnesses in the case,
jeff May and Mrs. Maytie Hibbs. In
addition to their testimony that of
w. G. Matchan, one Of the physicians
who made the postmortem examina-
ton of the dead man, was taken, and
al especially important as revealing
the real cause of Hibbs death, which
was by a fracture of the skull, below
and a little back of the ear. The
post mortem Of the physicians was
performed several days ago, and re-
vealed a comminuted fracture of the
skull at the back of the head. So
violent was the blow inflicted to cause
this fracture that a piece of the skull,
circular in shape, and an inch or more
in diameter was broken entirely out
Of the skull, and the surrounding bone
was splintered and broken for a ra-
dlus OF an inch or more about the
piece broken out. DR.. Matchan gave
it as his opinion that the blow which
caused this injury was delivered with
some blunt instrument of the nature
OF a hammer or monkey wrench. He
testified also that this injury would
have caused death, and that it had en-
sued shortly after the injury was re-
ceived, although the deceased young
man was still alive, he said, when he
struck the water in the we'll.
The verdict of the jury found that
Hibbs had come to his death by a blow
inflicted with some blunt instrument
in the hands Of jeff May, who was al
the ranch at the time and who was
one Of the principal witnesses in the
case. May is a young man about
50 years of age, is well known in this
and adjoining counties, where he has
been for many years, a ranchman and
horse dealer. When the jury found
that death had not been caused by ac-
cident, but presumably by a blow in
ficted with a hammer or other similar
instrument, the holding of May re.
sponsible for the crime was inevitable,
as it was admitted in all the testimony
that he was the only person at the
ranch that morning, besides Mrs
Hibbs and her husband. May was ar
rested by Sheriff Bogue at II O'Clock
last night, at the residence of Louis
Champagne in this city, upon a cor
oner's warrant issued by Coroner
White, and was confined in the county
jail, to await a preliminary examine
tion before Justice Tibbils. He ac.
companied the sheriff quietly and

RECALLS OLD TIMES,

Dickinson Press: A beautiful
painting, the gift of the Northern Pa
ci1c, showing the driving of the golden
spike by Henry Willard, in 1883, is to
be placed in the capitol building ait
Helena. The faces of Grant, Willard,
Evarts and other notables who were
present at the time of the completion
of the first Northern transcontinental
railroad, will appear in the picture.
Many of the Stark county settlers will
remember the golden spike expedition
and how Henry Willard was forced
from the presidency of the Northern
Pacific railroad soon after his mid
summer expedition. The excursion
lists were largely New Workers., ten or
twelve trains, the guests Of Willard.
The weather was parching, the prairie
grass was turning, and the eastern
money loaners thought the country
uninhabitable, the realistic American
desert as 1t had been termed by the
early explorers, and they commenced
TO wire back to New York for their
agents to close out their n. p. stock
at what it would bring. This caused
q panic and the stock of the road was
quoted ait 10 to IL cents per share and
no takers But speaking Of the golden
spike expedition recalls the driving Of
the silver spike at Sentinel Butte, this
state, IN November, 1880, which

kcta and the state Of Montana. State
