COLONEL WORD e A
Well Known Lawyer and Pioneer Dies
at Helena.

Information was received here to-
day of the death of Samuel Word, one
of the we'll known lawyers and pio-
neers of Montana, which occurred at
Helena Thursday night.
Mr.. Word was one of the men who
came to Montana when Virginia City
and Alder gulch were among the fam
Gus places of the world, arriving
there in 1868. During all the years
that have INTERVIEWED since then he
has been a conspicuous figure in the
affairs of the state and territory. He
was a member of the earlier legisla-
lures and prominent at the bar. In
1887 he was elected to the state con-
stitutional convention and contributed
not a little to the formation of Mon
tana's organic laws. While promi
nent as a legislator, mining man and
attorney, he was probably best known
because of his prominence in politics.
He was a democrat of the ardent type
and during political campaigns was
much in demand as a speaker. While
not possessing the brilliancy OF some
| others noted as orators, he was a
| forceful and courageous talker, given
| to the use of language that often caus-
| ed him to incur the personal enmity
| of those to whom he was opposed.
The deceased was born at Barbours

DOCTOR RlNEHART's EXPERT.
ENcE WITH r. r. COMPANY.
ANSWERED EMERcENCYCALl
His Bill for Professional Services Re
pudiated on Technical Ground
Pays Costs Also.

Unless he is in a different frame
of mind than that in which he found
himself last Wednesday afternoon, 1t
is not likely that Doespr J. n. Rinehart
will respond to another emergency
call for surgeons and men OF medi-
cine made by a division s~uperinten-
dent of the Northern Pacific Railway
company. The doctor was angry, all
the way through, and some OF the
language he used would not look very
well in print. The u of his anger
was the manner in which his suit
! against the company terminated, a
suit brought for. the recovery OF fees
he claimed for professional services
rendered.
1t will be remembered that last year
a collision occurred on the company's
, road, near Rapids, when it was thought
that a large number Of persons had
been killed and injured. AS soon as
the accident was reported to division
Headquarters Superintendent Horn
caused kilograms to be sent to the
different towns on his division direct
ing that every available physician be
sent to the scene of the wreck for the
purpose of aiding the wounded. Ev-
cry doctor in Billings responded and
a special train was placed at their
disposal on which they we're hurriedly
taken to the wreck. When they ar
rived there it vas found that the &C
counts of the accident had been mag
niied and that the number of those
in need of a doctors attention was
much smaller than supposed. The
wounded were cared for and brought
to this city, where the company's
regular physician attended to them.
Subsequently the company offered
to settle with the other physicians
and rendered each $25 for his ser
vices. Doctor Rinehart and Doctor
Linosey refused to accept the prof
fered amount and submitted bills for
500, each. These the company would
not pay and they brought suit in the
Justices court, where they obtained
Judgment for the respective amounts.
The company appealed and Wednes-
day the case of Doctor hinehart came
up for hearing before Judge Loud.
A jury was ~empannelled and the
doctors witnesses gave their testf'
mony. When all had been heard the
attorney for the railroad company
moved that the court dismiss the &C
ton on the ground that the plalntlf
had failed to show that he had been
employed by any one competent tc
incur an Indebtedness for which the
defendant could be held responsible
as it was denied that either the su
p%erintendent or the man who acted
for him in that instance, by delivering
the message to the doctor, possessed
the necessary authority.
The motion was granted and tn
doctor was taxed for the costs, amount
ing to SITS, as the company hac
caused witnesses to be subpoenaet
from Livingston, Helena and othe1
places.

ARREST WAS NOT LAWFUL.
Court Rules Against Military at Grip
Pile Creek.

HsS OsSSNs Hs
Cripple Creek, Sept. 24.-Judge
William P. Seeds of the district court
today decided against the military au-
thorities in the habeas corpus case OF
Sherman Parker and three others who
have been held prisoners by the mill
tary for about two weeks without
warrants and with no formal charges
against them.
General John Chase, in command OF
the troops, declined to recognize the
authority OF the court until ordered
by the governor to do so. Tonight it
is learned that Governor Peabody
has instructed Adjutant General Bell,
who is in Cripple Creek, to issue an
order to General Chase to turn over
| all prisoners to the civil authorities
| hereafter.
The judge said that he could not
| subscribe to the doctrine advanced by
the respondent that the military was
| supreme and not amenable to the
court; because to do so would mean
to overthrow tree government and
substitute a monarchay.
The court said that the question in
volved was:
Does the executive order calling
troops constitute a justification OF the
arrest?
He held that civil law had not been
overthrow in Teller county and no
evidence had been presented that law
breakers would not be prosecuted and

was granted a divorce from his wife
Maggie Clugh, whom he alleged desert

had the decree been ordered than the
liberated man appeared downstairs
and asked E. w. Dunno, deputy clerk
of the court, to give him a marriage
license, naming Mahala F. Jones as
the lady he had decided upon as his
second helpmate. The groom resides
at Huntley, where he is in charge OF
a water station, while the bride has
been a resident of this city for some
time.

RETIRED OFFICERS
WILL RECEIVE
DETAILS
One Clause of the New Army
Appropriation Act Pro-
vides Pleasant Duty for a
Limited Number in the In-
struction of the State Mi
litia.

One clause Of the latest army appro-
priation act is of interest to retired
officers Of the army. 1t is that which
permits the war department to assign
to duty with state militia command
not more than twenty officers Of the
retired list, who, while SO serving, will
receive the full pay and allowances Of
their respective grades.
This detail under the special condt-
lions granted by the act is more at
tractive than the assignment to duty
as military instructors at colleges since
it includes allowances, such as mileage
and communication of quarters, which do
not go with the college billets.
The detail to duty with the militia
must be made on the request of gov
ernors of states, and probably the war
department will find it convenient I'd
detail the maximum number allowed
by law, as it has not been possible since
we went to war with Spain to keep ac-
tive officers on duty with state troops.
The demand for officers of the active
list is likely to be no less and there will
be no trouble in finding places for
twenty retired officers whose qualifica-
tons mark them as Of value to militia
organizations.
An effort is being made to have Maj.
Gerlach, retired, late of the Third in
fantry, appointed in this state.

FRESH SEQUEL TO
BONACUM-M
CONTROVERSY
Cardinal Gotti and Mgr. Vec-
cha Will Not Testify in
the Suit of Nebraska Priest
Against the Bishop-Strug
gle That May End Only
With Time.

ROME, March 14.-Cardinal Gotti,
project of the propaganda, and Mgr.
Veccia, secretary of the congregation,
have both refused to give evidence in
the suit before the American civil
courts, which Father Murphy, former
pastor of a church at Tecumseh, N,eb.,
has instituted against Rt Rev. Thomas
Bonacum, bishop of Lincoln, Neb.
LINCOLN, Neb., March 1.-THE
contest between Bishop Bonacum and
Father Murphy is of long standing and
grew out of an attempt on the part Of
the bishop to force Rev. Murphy, pas
tor of st. Andrews congregation at
Tecumseh, to compel his parishioners
TO contribute a large sum of money
for the erection of a palace for the
bishop at Lincoln. Cardinal Satolll
enjoined the bishop from erecting so
costly a palace, but the injunction was
spurned. Rev. Murphy took up collec-
tons in his church and appointed COM
mittees to collect funds outside.
The amounts contributed did not
satisfy Bishop Bonacum, however, and
he issued a decree against Rev. Muir
ply of expulsion from the diocese.
Murphy appealed to the apostolic dele
gate at Washington, who ordered the
bishop to rescind the decree. The
bishop thereupon filed charges against
Rev. Murphy and summoned him to
Lincoln to make answer. Rev. Muir.
ply filed a challenge for prejudice and
an appeal. These the bishop ignored
and reissued a decree of suspension
and communication. The bishop
then began proceedings to GUST Rev.
Murphy from the use of the church
and its properties. Six civil suits took
place, in all of which the bishop lost,
and the case has twice been taken to
Rome.
