AGAINST THE RAILROAD.
Insurance Company Wins Suit a
Miles City.

At 500 p. m. Saturday evening, in
the district court, the jury returned
their verdict in favor of the Orient
Insurance company against the North
ern Pacific Railroad company in the
sum of $3,355.47 for insurance on
Hunter & Anderson's wool, destroyed
by fire in the warehouse June 80, 1900,
says the Yellowstone Journal.
BY a mental operation inexplicable
tx 4e ordinary intellect outside the
Jury box, the interest was not allow
ed. There were three forms of verdict
prepared: In favor Of the plaintiff
with interest, the same without in
terest and one in favor OF the de-
PENDANT. Among the instructions de-
livered by the Judge was one to the
effect that it made no difference
whether the ventilators were open or
shut as far as the responsibility OF
the fire was concerned. II the jury
was satisfied that the setting fire was
due to negligence o c~arelessness on
the part of the railroad they should
SO find.
Notice that the railroad company
intended to take advantage Of the 60
days allowed them by law to prepare
an appeal to the supreme court was
given by Attorney William Wallace.

IT WAS BAD.
Much Damage Done at Hope by
Cloudburst.

Much Damage Done at Hope by
Cloudburst.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette
Though the havoc wrought by the
rect storm at Hope, Idaho, has not
yet L-en entirely repaired, enough has
been .one to make the tracks passa-
BILE more and through trains r
running again. Five or six arrived
from the west yesterday and no
further delay is anticipated, unless the
elements should decide to try it once
more. A cloudburst was responsible
for all the trouble.
A bridge is said to have been swept
away and about 1000 feet of track
was washed out. In addition about
5000 feet more was covered by sand
and dirt, generously besprinkled with
boulders and pieces of the mountain
side. AS soon as possible an army OF
men was gathered at the scene Of
the trouble and work has been going
on night and day to undo the mischief
caused by the elements.

GEORGIA. HARRELsoN's ATToR-
NEYs FILE NEW COMPLAINT.
SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
In Addition to Habituai lntemperance
Defendant Isacharged With
Extreme Cruelty.
from Tuesdays Dai,y Gazette.

From Tuesdays Dairy Gazette.
Sometime last month Georgia Har-
relson instituted a suit for divorce
against her husband, David A. Har-
relson, in which she alleged habitual
intemperance as her cause of action.
Since then she seemingly has discov-
cred new testimony. as the lawyers
put it, and this morning caused a
new complaint to be filed in which the
old charge is repeated and the addi-
tional one Of cruelty added.
She alleges that she and the de-
PENDANT we're intermarried in this
city January 10, 1900. and that there
are no children as the result of the
marriage.
In utter disregard of his duties as
a husband, she continues, he has been
guilty of habitual intemperance, and
as her second cause of action makes
the allegation that during the -
months preceding the commencement
of the case he has been guilty Of ex-
IRENE cruelty toward her. May 20,
1902, is named as a. particular date
on which he is said to have used a
vile epithet in speaking OF her to a
man in a saloon. On sundry and div
ers other times between December
A., 1901, and May 1, 1902, it is alleged
that he used vile, opprobrious and
disgusting language toward the plain
tiff, and especially on April Is, 1902,
when he threw her across the bed
strike her. All this, the plaintiff
says, has caused her great suffering
and anguish and she demands release.
In conclusion the complaint charges
that before her marriage to- defendant
plaintiff was possessed of the sum
of 5000 in her W name and right;
that after her marriage to defendant
she used the money to buy lots %
and %, block SS, Billings. BY false
presentations and without the knowl-
edge or consent of the plaintiff the de-
PENDANT is alleged to have secured
the making of a deed to the property,
transferring it to himself.
Judgment for a decree of divorce,
restitution of the property, $50 at
torney fees and such alimony as the
court may deem just and fair pending
final decision of the suit are demand
ed.
BY a stipulation filed this morning
the defendant is given 20 days in
which to file his answer to the amend
ed complaint.

Real Bad Man With "Wild West

Invoke Courts.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette
II suppose it's all right and neces-
sary or it wouldn't have to be done,
but for all that, there is an awful dot
ct red tape business in connection with
courts and their operation The
speaker was the genial ED" Dunno,
deputy clerk of the district court, and
the provocation that called forth the
mild protest was a formidable and
cumbersome looking document that
lay On the desk in front of him.
Here l have an instrument, a copy
of an original paper on file in this
office. The copy is wanted in the
east and before it will be accepted as
legal and proper it has to go through
a process that will almost wear it out.
The first thing in order will be a certi-
ficaticn from the clerk that it is a
true and exact copy of the original.
Then it will have to be sent to Judge
Loud. at Miles City, who will certify
that T. A. Williams is the duly elect
ed and authorized clerk Of the court.
Then it will come back and Mr.. Will
liams will have attached his seal and
signature to it and attest to the fact
that C. H. Loud is the duly elected,
qualified and acting judge of this dis
trict. After all this it will be for
warded to its destination, with the
chances that some lawyer will discov-
err or pretend to discover some defect
in it and we will get it back. when the
whole thing will have to be done over
again."
OF course, there was a crowd at
the station this morning to "see the

night an unknown man entered the
house Of Jud Pritts, a m~ountaineer

her husband, who was in another

SWITCHED THEM OFF.
Wool Buyers Show R%aiIroaders How
to Play Ball.

to Play Ball.
from Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
If they could but manage to take
into camp as easily the men who
have wool to sell as they did the rail-
road freight agents whom they entic-
ed INTO Bennighoff's park yesterday
afternoon for a game of baseball, the
wool buyers would probably all re-
ceive an advance of wages and a six
months holiday twice a year.
Eden of the Lackawana captained
the railroaders and Admiral Dewey
bossed the wool sifters. AS befitted
one Of his exalted station and to- in
spire his followers, Eden knocked
out a home run every time he went
to bat, while Little Billie, of the
$500 was not SO far behind.
Four innings had been played when
it was found that the r~ailroaders had
been making some fast time, in fact
had been running extras and specials
until the poor fleece mixers were al
most distanced. It was then that the
admiral showed he had lost none of
his dash and determination. Calling
his cohorts about him he made a talk
to them and told them there would
be nc stopping for breakfast either
and a resumption of hostilities after
ward. Whether it was his speech or
the look in his eye during its deliv-
cry that did the business is not known,
but the response was all he could have
wished. Twelve runs were .chalked
up to the credit of his team the very
next time it went to bat, while the
freight snatchers were held down to
a little one when they tried it.
In this fateful inning Kershaw of
the woody one caught a fly with his
eyes shut and Sharp climbed IN cleo
trio light pole after a high one.
The score at the end of the fifth inn
ing stood rs for the wool men and
Is for the monopolists. The latter
announced that they had enough and
allowed the other side to take the
game.
Notes.
Berry's umpiring was all that could
be asked and the way he discerned
between balls and strikes showed him
to be possessed Of an eye sharp
enough to tell the difference between
a lead of hay and a baby carriage.
Had it not been for Shoemaker, the
life insurance man, the r%ailroaders
would probably have won. He went
to, their Assistance in the third inn
ing. after which it was all off with
them.
Just to keep the game going "Andy'
Bennington, who once played "Anthony
over" took Salter's place in the fourth,
salter having broken his leg in three
places while sliding home.

ture the genus of which at first glance
was hard to distinguish. Close in
spection revealed it to be a cross be-
tween a buffalo and a domestic cow.
1t was ~variegated in color, having
alternate white and roam stripes and
to the ones who had often seen the
real thing" was a greater curiosity
than the genuine buffalo was to those
who had never seen one.
But the biggest freak was the awk-
ward. overgrown youth strapped to a
six pistol" almost as big and clumsy
as himself. The fact that he carried
the weapon in a name which indi-
Gated but slight acquaintance with
it's use and proper mode of convey
ance made no difference to him. He
paced the platform just as proudly
and tried just as hard to look the
desperate and road agent as though
he were Tracy himself or at the very
least one of the Curry gang. The
jibes and jeers of the unfeeling cow
punchers and others who really knew
something about the use of the instru-
ment of death he carried fell on deaf
ears. Between alternate looks at his
new high heeled boots and nervous
clutches at his gun" as if to see
whether it was still there, he was the
observed of all observers.
when the city council of Butte
adopted an ordinance prohibiting pool
selling within the city and three miles
beyond, it's members thought they
had thrown the gait into the fellows
that run the race track, but they have
run up against a snag," said Harry
Williams, a travelling man, who came
down from that direction last night.
The funny part of it is that in head
ing off the council the pool sharks
had the assistance Of the courts. Fun
nier still, the county attorney, the
man who is on record as the worn
enemy of all lawbreakers especially
gamblers and surething managers,
helped out the touts and in turn was
assisted by his assistant.
'"The way it was done was slick.
The race track men applied to the
district court for an Injunction re-
straining any and all city officials
from serving warrants on pool sell
ers at the track. Harvey was the
Judge to- whom the application was
made and he granted it. Warrants
had been issued for the pool men and
they were in the hands of the chief
of police, but before he could serve
them he was served with the injunc-
ton. The enjoined officials have until
next Saturday to make answer and
show cause why the injunction should
not be made permanent.
.1How did the pool sellers learn
that the warrants had been issued?
