rived at his majority he went to Eng
land to live.
Married a PEERS Daughter.
1t was, of course, taken for granted
that Prince Victor would marry an Eng
lish woman. But no one dreamed that
he would seek to wed a peers daugh-
ter, Therefore, when it became known
that he was paying devoted court to
Lady Anne Coventry 1t made a stir in
smart English society, The dark skin
of Prince Victor led to the making of
unpleasant comments. 1t is very diff
cult for a member of the AngloSaXon
race to realize that the Hindoos are
pure Caucasians and that an Indian
prince usually has a pedigree that
makes that of the oldest families in
Europe seem very young.
There was no doubt of the fact that
Lady Anne was in love with Prince
Victor Dhuleep Singh, and it was
equally plain that the prince was in
love with her. The family objected
strenuously. 1t was known that the
Earl of Coventry had determined that
his daughter should not marry an In
dian. She was a recognized beauty of
the fair, buxom English type.
No one knows what the result would
have been. although the friends of both
Prince Victor and Lady Anne were of
the opinion that they would marry de-
spite the opposition of her family had
not the Prince of Wales interviewed.
For some reason, possibly due to her
innate sense of justice. Prince Victor
enjoyed the friendship of Queen Vic
toria, and her late majesty was very
fond of Lady Anne, whose godmother
she was. The present King was also
personally fond of Prince Victor. The
court influence was too strong for the
Earl of Coventry and he gracefully
gave his consent to the marriage. It
was celebrated in great style in May,

LIKE BILLINGS BETTER.
ehefers Leave Miles City Plant for
Easier Work.

Inc total amount of wool in the
warehouse yesterday afternoon at the
close was $1,000 pounds There nave
been $4,000 pounds shipped out so
that the amount brought in has pass
ed the 100000 mark. c. w. Smith OF
}. Koshland & Co. still appears to be
the only buyer. Mr.. Smith bought
the clip OF Allison & Dekleinhans, 25,-
600 pounds, at around 13 cents and e.
3. Gould & Brothers, $4,000 pounds, at
around Is cents. The last clip Mr..
Smith considers an extra good one,
says the Yellowstone Journal.
The report that there had been a
strike at the Allen shearing plant cir
culated yesterday was like many an
other good natured rumor that does
active business in Miles City about
every day, bit of fiction, though it
had more than the average excuse for
a foundation. The report grew out OF
the fact that eleven shearers who had
been working at the Allen plant for
a couple of days quit and today left
for the Davidson plant on the Big
Dry. The men had come here from
California under contract to shear for
Davidson, but the plant was not ready
and the Allen people being short
handed they put in their unemployed
time at that plant.
The Allen people have had some
difficulty keeping their shearers on
account of the sheep, according to
the shearers' story. being harder TO
shear that those at Billings, to which
place most, if not all who have quit
have turned their faces. There are
quite number OF hand shearers be-
ing broken in to the use of the ma
chine, however, and by next year there
will be quite crop OF full-hedged
machine men. The hand shearers
learn to use the machines readily
though somewhat slow at first as
would naturally be expected.

Horse and Bicycle Thief Eager to
Receive Sentence.

nSCSIvS sentence.
Clarence Ardleigh, Claude Ray.
mond or Floyd Lenhart, for he has
gone by all three of those names, is an
exceptional criminal. Not only does
he admit his guilt of the different of
fenses with which he stands charged,
but is worrying because he is not
given an opportunity to plead guilty
before some court competent to ac-
cept that plea and sentence him. The
man of the many names is the fellow
who was arrested last Monday for
selling a bicycle and a horse not his
own and then failing to make ac-
counting to the owners.
A letter received by the sheriff
from Livingston yesterday makes it
appear that he operated there before
coming here. At that place he rented
a chainless bicycle and made off with
it. Presumably he sold it, as he is
not known to have brought it with
him.
In the opinion of his ccustodians
the man is not mentally responsible
for his acts. II is certain that he
acted very much like crazy person
in the commission of the offenses
charged up to him here.

FIRST OF THE SEASON.
shearing Begun in Vicinity of Fort
Benton.

The first shearing OF the season in
this vicinity will begin tomorrow at
the w. R. Embleton ranch on band
of 1000 sheep says the Daily River
Press. George Greneal and his crew
who have been in the city for the last
two weeks, left today for the ranch,
where they will divide into two shear
ing crews. One will shear the Eb-
bleton sheep and the other party will
go to the Smith Bros. ranch on the
Teton and shear their flocks.
The shearing prices are said to
be the same as last seasons cents
per head.

He HAS GONE.
Wolfe Disappears and Let's Creditors
Fight 1t Out.

eWithout waiting to see the outcome
OF his disastrous venture as caterer
to the tickle appetite of the public,
Logan Wolfe has taken wings and
flown to a more congenial place, leav-
ing his creditors to fight it out among
themselves. AS now estimated the
total Of his liabilities will not fall
much short of $4,000, with assets in
utter disproportion.
A new creditor has appeared on
the scene. He is Charles Richter OF
Forsyth. Wolfe owes him 5000, money
advanced. The debt was contracted
when Wolfe decided that manage
ment of small bakery was not
enough for him and his ambition
caused him to embark in the restau-
rant business. To secure Mr.. Richter,
Wolfe gave him a mortgage on his
household goods and bakery. 1t seems
that none OF the mortgaged things
is covered by the attachments that
have been levied on the restaurant
fixtures and no contest was made when
the mortgage announced that he
would foreclose and take possession.
The claim is made that since the
cafe was closed it has developed that
many dishes and other articles which
were supposed to form a part of the
outfit cannot be found. The stock of
groceries and meats that Wolfe was
to have on hand is also much
smaller than the creditors think it
should be. In fact, it is said that ev-
cry evidence points to a preparation
on the part OF the man for the end that |
he knew was very near.

LOWER COURT REVERSED.
Famous Custer County Tax Cases
Are Remanded.

Last Tuesday Supreme Court Com
missioner Galloway delivered the op-
inion of the court in the famous tax
cases from Custer county, In which
the Western Ranches, limited, and
the Matador Land and Cattle COM
pany were the plaintiffs and the coun-
ty of Custer the defendant and res
pondent.
The cases were almost identical
and were considered together in the
arguments made on the appeal
The plaintiffs brought the action to
recover from the county certain sums
of money paid by them as taxes under
protest, it having been ne1d that the
assessments were erroneous in that
they were for more cattle than the
companies owned within the county
Demurrer to the complaints was made
by the county on the ground that they
did not state facts sufficient to con-
stitute cause of action.
In passing upon the demurrer the
district court held that it was we'll
made and sustained the defendant.
An appeal was taken from this ruling
and the case has been in the supreme
court a number of years.
The opinion rendered by Mr.. Gala
way holds the trial court to have been
in error when it sustained the de-
and judgment is ordered re-
versed and the cause remanded. with
to overrule the demurrers.

TRANSPORTATION coMPANiEs
LIABILITIES DEFINED.
LOSSES CAUSED BY DELAYS
sheepman Receivers Damages from
Great Northern for Failure to
Forward Shipment.

| OF several opinions filed by the SUI
preme court at Helena early this week.
one was OF particular interest to ship
pers OF livestock. 1t defines the liza
bility assumed by transportation COM
panies when accepting consignments
OF stock for shipment.
The opinion in question was very
exhaustive and was rendered in the
case of H. H. Nelson against the Great
Northern Railroad company. Although
the plaintiff resides in Cascade coun-
ty he originated the suit in the dis
trict court Of Lewis and Clarke county
and it was on a Claim for damages
alleged to have been sustained by
him as a shipper of livestock over
the defendants railroad.
The stock involved was trainload
of sheep which Nelson shipped from
Culbertson during the winter OF 1896.
He claimed that because OF delays that
occurred in transit, due to snowstorns,
many Of the sheep died and a consid-
cradle portion OF the shipment that
survived reached it's destination in
very poor condition and greatly re-
duced in value. In the lower court
he was awarded Judgment tor the sum
of $4,000. From this an appeal was
taken by the company.
the opinion and in it the case is re-
viewed at considerable length 1t
concludes with the statement that the
appellant court is unable to discover
any material error in the rulings OF
the trial court, other than that aris-
ing from the allowance OF an item OF
5000 for extra feeding. In this con-
nection the court says:
We therefore recommend that the
case be remanded to the district court
with directions to grant new trial,
Of the remittitur from this court the
Of the remittur from this court the
plaintiff file with the clerk his consent
in writing that the Judgment be modi-
fed by deducting from the amount
thereof the sum of 5000, in accord
ance with the views herein express
ed, in which event, and upon the en-
,ry OF the judgment as modified, the
Judgment and order appealed from be
affirmed.
We further recommend that il
such consent in writing be filed, and
he Judgment be modified, then ap-
