The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1903-01-10
NlSSLER IS DEAD AND
so THE DAMAGE SUIT
Started Against His Estate Is Held
to Be Non-Sustanabe by
Judge Harney.

Death, which according to Lory Lyt-
tons Lady of Lyons" levels all ranks
and lays the shepherds crook beside the
scepter,' ended proceeding in the dis
trct court today.
This was in the case of Phoebe Hetu
against J. K. Heslett, administrator OF the
estate of Charles Nissler, an action to re-
cover $4,000 for injuries alleged TO have
been sustained by dog bite. The plaintiff
claimed that dog owaed by Nissler, who
has died since the incident, bit her. She
sought to sustain an action for damages
against the administrator of Nissler's es-
tate. The action was what the lawyers
call in tort.
Judge Harvey held in effect that the
death of the owner of the dog had abated
the action. In other words, when the
original defendant died the right of action
against him was lost. Judge Harney in
announcing his decision said that he would
follow the statutes of California in the
matter,

TRYING 10 SEE WHAT THE
ATTORNEYS SHOULD HAVE
Evidence Offered Before Clancy as to
the Value Of Lawyers Who Were
Helping Mclaughlin.

Evidence was offered in Judge Clancy's
court today as 10 the value Of the ser
vices rendered by Attorneys Kirk, Clinton
and Maury to Thomas Mclaughlin while
the latter was receiver Of that part Of the
Nipper mine involved in the case Of VI.
a. Hickey and others against the Parrot
company. There was also evidence as to
the value Of the receivers services.
Attorney x. l.. Clinton, one of Nc
Laughin's counsel, told the court that Le
considered $4,000 a reasonable fee.
Thomas Bailey Lee gave similar testi-
mony.
Former Governor Robert h. Smith said
that he considered the services worth
$500.
County Attorney Peter Brcen told the
court that he would consider $4,000 a
fair remuneration.
John Gillie, the general superintendent
Of the Boston 4 Montana and other mines
and smcltcrs in Butte, was called to the
stand to tell what he considered a reason
able fee for Receiver McLaughlin's SER
vices. Mr. Gillie said that he considered
$4,000 was a just amount for the receiver
to be paid for his services as receiver and
including the time covered in the hearing
before Referee Carroll.

POWERS FEEL LESS
LEN|ENT TO CHINA
UNCLE SAM AND GREAT BRITAIN
ARE TOO EASY, IT is sAlD-REsT
WANT THEIR MONEY.
NJ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

LONDON, Jan. io.-The negotiations be-
tween the powers regarerg the method OF
paying the Chinese indemnity are proceed
ing.
Washington's acceptance OF the Chinese
proposal to pay in silver does not meet
with the cordial approval of Europe. A
foreign officer said to a representative of
the Associated Press today:
America and England have both been
peculiarly generous to China, but this last
step meets with considerable opposition in
various quarters. We are willing TO do
everything in our power, but the situation
is very complicated The Chinese say that
if they have to pay it in gold it will mean
their country's ruin. On the other hand,
if the payments are made in silver, at
the present value of the tael, the indem-
nifty which was made as low as it consist
emily could be made, will be enormously
reduced. Possibly we may be able TO
reach some compromise which will be sat
isfactory not only to the United States
but to the other powers, who do not feel
so generously inclined by an extension Of
the time for payments and other arrange
ments by which all the credit nations may
be satisfied and serious consequences TO
China avertcd."
