New Richmond, Wis, June 2O.-Traffc
is tied up on this end of the Wisconsin
Central for at least few days by the
most serious freight wreck in the his
tory of this division. A west-bound extra
freight last night, while running at high
speed around a curve, met with mis-
hap two miles east of here. Twelve cars
left the track and plunged into Willow
river.
While Thomas Carroll, q lineman, and
his assistants were at work trying to
straighten out the tangled mess Of tele-
graph wires, his lantern slipped from his
hands and fell into the water below. In
stantly there was tremendous explo-
sion, and the wreckage, and even the
surface of the water. were one mass OF
flames. The contents of a tank of naph-
tina in the wreck had ignited.
Louis Anderson, a farmer, who was In
the boat with Carroll, was terribly burned.
He was thrown into the water, and when
he came up found himself in a mass Of
flames. He dove down again and swan
thirty feet under water. He came up
still surrounded by flames, but the water
was shallow and he made a rush for the
shore. Men on shore rolled him in the
grass and put out the fire. Several 9TH
ers were burned, but all will recover.
About half an hour after the first ex-
plosion another car Of naphtha exploded,
sending flames hundreds of feet into the
air.. The report was heard for miles.
| The twelve cars that went thru the
bridge and their contents of lumber, farm
implements, binding Irvine, railroad sup
plies etc., were destroyed by fire. The
bridge is a total wreck.
Traffic is going over the main IineSof
the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha temporarily. Wisconsin Central
officials here promptly brought big crews
Of wreclkers' and bridge builders and track
men from both directions, and the work
Of making repairs and building a tenn
: porary bridge is being done with all pos
sible speed.

Grand Forks. N. D., June 2O.--A demur-
rer to the complaint in the case of the
state Of North Dakota against D. Fl. Nc
Judge Fisk of the district court last night
by Judge Corliss. The court took the mat
ter under Amusement and it is expected
a decision will be handed down to-day.
Judge Fisk will decide the question as
to whether the proposed institution bonds
are state bonds, and if such, are they of
class that would require them to come
within the constitutional amendment that
limits the states bonded Indebtedness to
5000, 0O0
He will also be required to decide
whether or not the state treasurer is liza
BILE for the amount for which the action
is started. Whatever the decision. the
case will be appealed to the supreme
| court, and that tribunal will, in it's deci-
sion, also solve the question as to the flu
ture of the bonds authorized by recent
| legislatures for the several state institu-
lions, aggregating about $750,000.
While it is expected that the supreme
courts decision will settle for all time
| the questions that have arisen since the
refusal of State Treasurer Mcmillan tt
issue the institution bonds, authorized b!
the legislature and the university ant
school land boards, the procedure Is GU
of the ordinary.
Similar bonds were issued two years ag
by Treasurer Mcmillan amounting t
about 100000, and this action is to re
cover the sum of $4,000, representing tn
issue for the agricultural college at tina
time. 90
Every institution in the state is inter
ested in the outcome. as bond issues TO
each were authorized by the last legisla
ture, and nothing can be done until tn
decision Of the court, which will. eithe
legalize the act of Treasurer Mcmillan i
the bond purchase of two years ago, an
at the same time legalize the issue Of tn
proposed bonds, cor will hold Treasure
Mcmillan liable for such amounts as h
paid out for the similar bonds issued tW
years ago and by this act knock out tn
| proposed bonds.

BUTTE CITY CAUGHT MAPPING
St. Paul Commercial Man Gets Claim O.
$4,000 by Default.

BUTTE, MONT.-During the excitement
attending the visit of President Roosevelt
to this city Mayor Pat Mullins overlooked
the fact that certain summons had been
served upon the city in the case of
Stephen G. Jeans, a commercial man of
ST. Paul, who is sueing. the city for SIS, 900
for alleged damages sustained by falling
upon a slippery and icy sidewalk last win
ter. The city officials were given some
thing of a surprise when an attorney
arose in Judge Harney's court and stated
that the city of Butte had defaulted in
the suit
The mayor and city council had locked
horns over the question of the appoint
ment of a city attorney, the assembly re-
fusing to confirm the mayors selection.
In view of. this, Mayor Mullins asked the
court to give the city a day in which to
defend itself, and being deprived of a city
attorney at the time the president Wis
tied the city, he was so rushed that the
| natter of answering the summons was
unintentionally overlooked.
According to attorneys the city has for
feited all it's rights in the case and is
bound to pay Mr.. Jeans the sum asked
AS the case stands no appeal can be
| taken.

FRAUDULENT WILLS
Celebrated Airport Case Closed by Action
of the Supreme Court.


of the Supreme Court
HELENA, MONT.-The supreme court
has denied a new trial in the noted ALL
port will case, thus closing one of the
most noted contests of that kind ever
tried in Montana. When John Airport
died in Jefferson county several years ago,
he left an estate which comprised large
interests in the Minnie Healy mine in
Butte, several mining claims in this
county and much real estate.
Mrs. Caroline v. Kelley came here from
Denver and on the representation that
she as his only sister was heir to his
estate, procured letters of administration
and had commenced the process Of set
tlement when other heirs learned of his
death by reading in a Chicago paper the
story Of the capture Of a notorious crook,
one Bush, who was endeavoring to secure
possession Of the Minnie Healy mine thru
fraudulent deeds.
They appeared and claimed a share Of
the estate, but about that time came an
alleged will by way of an old prospector
who returned from the Klondike to San
Francisco. i..
There was a long trial with many wit
nesses and much expert testimony on
| handwriting, and the will was declared
to be a forgery.
Then came another will and that was
after a long trial also declared forgery.
A new trial was asked, but this was de-
MED by the supreme court to-day, ending
| the controversy. s.s

Livingston, Mont, June 20-Consterna-
ton prevails among the ranchers and
stockmen Of the Bridger creek country
over a threatened grasshopper plague At
the rate the pests are multiplying, it bids
fair to be without precedent in Montana.
Unless the efforts of scientists from the
state agricultural college at Bozeman, in
their war of determination, are success
full, large area Of ranching and range
country will be stripped bare OF all vege-
tation.
1t is said that to walk over any section
Of the Bridge Creek country will send
clouds of 'hoppers into the air. Garden
stuff is alive with the insects and their
ravages are already plainly apparent. A
handful of 'hoppers can be secured by
running ones hand quickly down a wheat
stalk.
1t is purposed to dig long trenches in
which will be placed kerosene The
ranchers and stockmen will then join and
drive the 'hoppers before them into the
! oil, which is deadly.
