ECHO OF PoSTOFFIcE FIGHT
Litigation over O'Nein Newspaper
and some Notes Reaches
Douglas County.

Out at O'Neill, Neb., there was a strenu-
Gus postofnce fight in 1898. and now It has
an echo in the district court for Douglas
county. Stephan j. Weeks, Robert r.
Dickson. Daniel A. Doyle. Job ]. King and
Jesse b. Mellor sued the State Bank OF
O'Neill, which has since become the prop
erty Of O.. w. wattles and had its papers
brought here, and John McHugh, its former
cashier. The suit is for recovery or notes
and property purchased on alleged fraudu-
lent representations and came up yesterday
morning in Judge Slabaugh's court. when
there was argued a demurrer Of the banks
attorneys, grounded on the fact that the
bank was an Institution % Holt county. not
suable in Douglas county. Attorney A.. @.
EIIick, for the plaintiffs, maintained that
It was suable wherever 1t did business,
and the Judge took the arguments under
consideration.
The story told In the petition indicates
that the transactions were hasty ones made
during the fight between Clyde King and
Dan H. Cronin, partners in the publication
OF the o'Neill Frontier, to secure the post
office. The plaintiffs are Kings friends, and
they bought from the State bank at O'Neill
an undivided one-half interest in the equip
ment Of the Frontier plant, which Cashier
McHugh is alleged to have stated that the
bank owned, and also two notes executed by
King and Cronin on December 10, 1885,, and
due January 20, 1896, for a total of about
1900, against which paper McHugh is al
legged to have stated there was no defense
by the firm of King & Cronin, and on which
there had been paid nothing but interest.
BY making this purchase, II is said, Kings
friends hoped to gain control of the plant
and swing its policy to Kings interests.
They gained possession of the plant in
April, 1898, placing in charge their trustee,
G. c. Willard, but five days later Cronin
secured it with a writ Of replevin, and when
the case got into district court the follow
ing March he secured final judgment and
proved, it is alleged, that he owed on the
notes only 1855 and that the bank had sold
fits interests in the plant to him long before
the deal with the plaintiffs in the present
case. Hence the suit for a recovery Of
$1,000 on fraudulent representation.

TWENTIETH CtNluhI FARMER
Best Agricultural weekly,
The Butte inter mountain., 1902-10-29

1t was smile OF satisfaction which
of William Kidd alias BILLY the Kid
when Judge Harney told him this morning
that he would have to serve two years in
the state penitentary at Deer Lodge for
burglary.
As he was led away by Deputy Sheriff
Morrison, the smile grew into broad
grin, and when he reached the jaicr's
Office the grin had heightened TO laugh.
Something was tickling the negro and he
didn't care who knew it.
What's the matter with him ?" asked a
bystander. 'llc seems TO look forward to
a couple of years under the care Of Colonel
Acfague with considerable satisfacton."
He Thinks He's Lucky.
'lIe expected 10 years and he's mighty
glad to get off with two remarked a
deputy. Billy is bad egg, and he has
served time in the penitcntiary before.
Not many years ago he was sent up from
Anaconda for burglary for two years and
a half, and when he found that the prev-
Gus sentence was not taken into considera-
ton, he was naturally little clatcd.
Billy was arrested few weeks ago for
breaking into the Mikado restaurant, on
West Granite street, and stealing $50, fur
overcoat and a pockctbook. The property
was subsequently found on him, and CON
sidering this and his previous unsavory
record, he was only too glad TO plead guilty
this morning and take the minor punish
ment.
He had been employed at the restaurant
as dishwashcr, and while the proprietrcss,
Miss Nesbitt, did not have any particular
confidence In "The Kid" she was satisfied
at the way he juggled the dishes. IAN at
once he served notice that he was going TO
quit, having satisfied himself, as it subse-
quently appeared, that he was thoroughly
familiar with the location and working of
the money-drawer and the position Of other
valuablcs in the establishment.
Solicitous Concerning Kittens.
About two weeks later he appeared al the
back door to inquire about the health of
some kittens that arrived during his time
of service. lie was taking new look ut
the surroundings, and it evidently satisfied
him, Tor not more than three nights later
he made visit when everybody was
asleep and took away everything he could
lay his hands on.
Miss Nesbitt's suspicious were directed
his way, and his arrest followed soon after.
With linn was arrested one William Ran
dolph, also colored, who will have trial
later, although the kid" was believed TO
have been the prime conspirator.
Attorney James Baldwin appeared for
the negro and waived the statutory time
permitted him to plead whcrcupon Judge
Iiarney told him the number OF his room
Tor the next two years.

dcpots of art where the constantly grow
ing taste OF Butte's culture can be met and
satisfied
In this line and to meet this demand
there has been opened in Butte, on large
scale, an art emporium which will rank
with any depot of its kind in the country.
That emporium is Pufahl's, No. 70 West
Park street. in the new Clark building.
1t is at Pufahl's one is brought to the
realization that Butte is no more the
rough camp of the mines. 1t is with
Pufahrs beautiful collection Of art and
Orientalism that one is brought face to
face with the fact that here among the
mountains are people with the artistic
sense and the cultured critique that de-
mands more than the ordinary wares Of
the usual Western metropolis.
Once among the treasures of the col
lection so artisticaly displayed one cannot
help the thought that to the West, the
home of the money kings and the source
the mines, that art and its followers are
coming to meet the demands which
wealth and education create.
II Is Worth Seeing.
To the people Of Butte rare treat is
afforded this week in the display of the
art creations at Pufahl's. Today began
the reception of those interested in such
collections, and to afford these the oppor-
tunity of full inspection, Mr.. Pufahl to-
day gave an opening to which all the
ladies and others interested in collections
are invited.
The opening began at noon today and
during the afternoon hundreds were taken
through the beautiful rooms, arranged
especially for the occasion, and at times
the crowd was almost too great for COM
fort.
And the visit amply repaid every one
taking the trouble to come down town.
In every room surprise was planned,
and each was so arranged as to display
to the delighted guests treasures in art
work of every description.
Almost before entering the beautiful
emporium one is attracted by the splcn-
did collection displayed n the window.
The central piece in this display is a
large and magnificent Swedish vase Of
great value, surrounded by other bits Of
Workmanship, which prepare the visitor
slightly for what is to come.
Rich Display Of Draperies.
The opening is mostly devoted to the
display of draperics of every design and
degree of richness. Almost at the en-
trance are shown wonderful creations of
Orientals in stripes and colors, and there
are velours, silks, brocades and Orentals
in profuse display.
At the entrance OF the art room, where
are collected cut-glass and bric-a-brac in a
display most magnificent, there is pair Of
Louis XIV curtains, hand embroidered,
which were the envy of every lady present
at the opening.
In close proximity are velour curtains,
with bow knots in water color silk and silk

BUTTE WOMEN DO NOT
MAKE A HIT WITH HER
Madame Davenport Tells Them That
They Are Shotcomne in Several
Important Particulars.

In speaking to the women of Butte at
the Auditorium yesterday afternoon, Ma
dame Charlotte de Goliere Davenport sug-
gested that if the Women's club would give
more attention to physical culture than to
parliamentary drill, its influence would be
more general. Madame Davenport spoke
very plainly to her sisters and pointed out
many of the shortcomings that she had OBJ
served in them during her short stay in the
greatest mining camp on earth.
The ladies did not respond to the call in
as large numbers as had been expected,
and the speaker did not hesitate to tell her
hearers that she did not think the women
here we're ready for this advanced study.
In her opinion, the women of Butte do not
possess an alarming amount of humor
and vitality for the reason that they do
not give sufficient attention to the rules of
hygiene and datctics.
Madame Davenport advised the women
to drink more water, from eight to 10
quarts day. It was important to exer-
else great consideration with regard to
diet. Worry over trihes is useless. Ma
dame Davenport wanted to form class
of SO ladies to whom she proposed giving
three lessons and lectures for SIS; but
only IS of the women present agreed to
partakc of the instruction and the clasf
was not formed,

Throughout the world Butte has been
recognized as the greatest Of mining
camps. In every city where finance reigns
Butte has been synonym for wealth and
financial greatness. The people have be-
come accustomed to the classification, ana
even here at home il has become settled
and accepted fact that Butte is mining
metropolis wealthy but uncultured.
Yet never was greater mistake made
than that most common among the travel
ers from the East who come here with
the fixed idea that all there is to Butte are
mines and money.
The growth of the city financially has
been equaled by the growth of class and
culture, and there are as richly furnished
and adorned homes in Butte as in any
city in the country. That this is a fact,
and that the demand for things artistic
is constantly increasing is amply demon
strated by the great change in the stores
OF the city and in the grade of merchan-
disc and stock carried by them.
They Are Equal to the Best.
The stores of the city carry big as
sortment equal to the assortments Of any
of the marts of the East and SO much has
the demand for beautiful things increased
that it has become necessary to create
The Butte inter mountain., 1902-10-29

brocades and Orcntals, all of the rich st
and handsomcst designs.
With Artistic Carclessness.
Scattered about with artistic careless
ness in the big art room downstairs were
more draperies on old brass fixtures, show
ing every design, color and effect and all
suitable for any room or place.
In the downstairs rooms the display is a
picture from dreamland. The heavy ma
hogany and weathered oak pieces OF furni-
turc, interspersed with brass effects and art
treasures of every description, showed
plainly the touch of an artist in decorative
effects.
Though to the careless eye ncgligently
thrown about, every piece OF wood, every
brass design and each bit Of almost price
less china, was placed with care, and the
harmonizing effect produced such as only
can be seen where art reigns supreme.
1t has been the aim of Mr.. Pufahl to
gather together in his collections those
things and treasures which are not handled
through the ordinary mercantile channels,
and his success in this is fully demon
strated in the display made at this special
opening.
It Is BewiIdering.
Throughout the whole display is shown
the many effects and designs of the choic-
est French and Oriental draperes, some in
beautiful and costly handwork and others
in palmer effects and in the silk finishes
Tapestries and art effects Of every design
predominant, set off by the beautiful and
costly collections of individual furniture
and bric-a-brac.
There is large assortment of exquisite
silk brocades in all colors Old Colonial
tapestries and Oriental displays Of rugs and
Indian designs in real Navajo blankets,
which add to the appearance Of profusion,
wealth and harmony.
Owing to the great interest taken in the
opening Pufahl has decided to continue the
display the remainder Of the week, and it is
evident that the rooms will be crowded
every day with those who are being
afforded new experience in the exhibition
OF rare works of art among which the pic
lures used in the wall decorations are not
the least.
Special Display Each Day.
Each day during the week there will be
special displays particularly in the line of
draperics, and it is well worth visit to
inspect the magnificent collections.
In every niche and corner there is some
thing new and artistic, and the beauty of
1t all is the fact that here in Butte such
things are offered for sale at prices which,
III many instances, are below the Eastern
quotations on the same grades. Nowhere
IN the East is there larger or choicer dis
play, and not only the owner but the peonle
OF Butte are to be congratulated ON The
opportunity afforded not only to insncct
but to buy at prices within reach for tho
cream OF the collections brought here for
that purpose.
