the game. II caused no surprise here
The four-club league will play the

question about It.

MORE TROUBLE FOR
Mr.. MULLINS OF IDAHO
Clerk Of Court Wants Fees Paid at Once
or Custer Proceedings Against
the Aldermen Dropped.

Mayor Patrick Mullins of Idaho is
about to find himself with more troubles
on his hands.
The trouble threatens 10 spring out of
the suits he brought in the district court
two or three weeks ago against eight
aldermen of Butte
Mayor Mullins the Idaho land recaimer,
brought suit in the name of the city OF
Butte to oust from office Aldermen Sieben-
aler, Ryan, Lally Gallagher and Doull on
the ground that they were not qualified to
hold their Offices from the standpoint Of
citizenship in Butte.
1t was this suit that called attention to
the status OF the mayor himself it having
acted as a boomerang.
1t now promises to add something more
to his worries.
The Other Suit.
The other suit is that brought by the
man from Idaho against Aldermen
Heaney, Bachelor and Gleason to recover
parts of back salary paid them.
In this particular of the mayors his
tory, already made and TO be made, il is
the clerk of the district court, in which
the aldermanic suits were filed, who is
after the chief executive of the city OF
Butte, also of Blackfoot, Idaho.
There were court fees in the cases
against the eight aldermen, as in all other
cases filed in the court. and they have not
been paid.
They are due from Mayor Mullins, and
the clerk of the court wants the money.
Operates as Abandonment.
Therefore this morning Attorney Rob-
ert Mcbride, representing the clerk of the
-. I,,I., r. A.
purpose of suggesting to the court that
the failure of Mayor Mullins to pay the
fees in the cases operated as an abandon
ment of the suits and to ask the court for
an order requiring Mayor Mullins to show
cause why the cases should not be dis
missed for failure to pay the fees.
Attorney Mcbride was in the courtroom
already yesterday morning, then prepared
to present the matter but no court was
held.
This morning he asked the court il the
latter would hear an ex parte motion, in
which he intended to bring the matter up.
Judge Clancy refused to hear him.
City Attorney Templeman was in court
to meet the attack on the mayor for fail
ing TO pay the fees in his custer and re-
covery cases against the aldermen, but
he was not called upon to exert himself in
hehalf of Mr.. Mullins, whose unconfrmcd
appointee he is.
Mr.. Templeman had been notified by
Mr.. Mcbride of what the latter intended
The reason the court would not hear
Mr.. Mcbride this morNing was because the
court had met simply to handle one mat
ter, and was determined not to handle
any others.
Regular Motion Day.
Tomorrow, however, is the courts reg
ular motion calendar day, and the first
business attended to usually is that con-
tained in ex parte motions.
Mr.. Mcbride will make his motion to-
morrow, when in all probability the court
will entertain it, and then Mayor Mullins
will find himself dunned for the ready
money.
No reason has been given why the fees
in the cases have not been paid
Mr.. Mullins explanation will be pre-
sented by Mr.. Templeman tomorrow,
probably.

SIXTY DAYS FOR BLOCK.
Man Who Stole Electric Current
Must Go to Prison and Pay a Fine.

1.-Two hundred and fifty dollars fine
and sixty days Imprisonment in the Coun-
ty JAIL was Judge Blair's laconic and
somewhat surprising disposition of the
case of Frank Block, who was convicted
in the Court of General Sessions on
Tuesday of the larceny of the electric
current supplying the lights in his cloth
ing store in Bergenline avenue, Union
Hill.
A more surprised man than Block
could hardly be imagined. He had come
to court expecting a nominal fine to be
imposed in his case, and walked almost
nonchalantly to the bar when his name
was called. He had not reached the
'cierk's desk before Judge Blair had dis
posed of he case, and Constable John
O'Brien had him in charge The ex-
preston of Blocks countenanee was a
study. He had gloated over the downfall
Of others in the same court room before,
but now it was different.
Block was at once taken to the County
Jail and booked the same as any other
prisoner.

promised.

When the suit of Alice NJ. Forsyth
against the Jersey City, Hoboken and
Paterson Street Railway Company and
the Erie Railroad Company jointly was
called in the Circuit Court yesterday,

agreement had been reached and that the
plaintiff had agreed to accept $3.50 from

year when a freight car at the Erie rail-
road crossing at Seventeenth street, back
ed into, derailed and overturned trolley
car bound north from the Fourteenth
street ferry.
Miss Forsyth, who is eighteen years of
age, was a passenger in the car, having
boarded it at the ferry. She was thrown
violently from one side of the car to the
other, and had to be dragged out through
a window. As a result of the accident,
it Is claimed that she sustained injuries
Of her back and abdomen which will
probably be of permanent character.
