HELPS OTHER CREDITORS.
Decision in Miles City Bankruptcy
Case Is Affirmed.

~0CS -
A telegram was received yesterday
by o. F. Goddard, who appeared as
one of the counsel for the remaining
creditors, that the United States cir
cult court of appeals had affirmed the
decision Of Judge Knowles OF the fed
eral district court rendered in the
bankruptcy proceedings Of McLntire
& Middleton, a Miles City firm that
failed a couple of years ago.
The matter was stubbornly contest
ed by both sides and the decision OF
the appellate court greatly increases
the amount Of money that will be
paid to the firms who united in ap'
pealing from the original order in
the premises, made by Referee Firth
Of this city. When the concern an
nounced it's insolvency the First Ma
tional bank of Miles City presented
among its other claims notes aggre-
eating a large amount, which purport-
ed to have been given by the firm
in security OF a claim of the Dan
against it. The examination OF the
bankrupts revealed through the testi.
mony Of Middleton that he had been
in ignorance of the existence OF the
notes, they having been given in the
firms name by McIntire to secure an
old account the bank held against
him, contracted before the partner
ship was formed. The State National
bank of Miles City was n OF the
creditors not secured by any priority
| rights and fought the claim OF its
competitors. a.
Mr.. Firth allowed the claim OF the
First National in full. From this
appeal was taken to Judge Knowles.
who reversed the ruling of the referee
1t was then the turn of the defeated
bank to appeal and the case went
to the higher court, which, as already
stated, afirms the decision, throwing
out about $4,000 of the amount o.
the full claim held by the bank.

American Hereford association it has
been made possible to increase the
premiums in division B $500. The

association has practically agreed to
offer a like amount, which will bring
the premiums in the division to $1,000.

FIRST CASE REPORTED.
"Spotted" Fever Makes Early Appear
ance Near Bridger.

anCe near 6rIo9eF.
Although it was supposed that it
was still too early for the poisonous
insect to make it's appearance, it
seems the species of woodtick respon-
sible for the existence of spotted"
fever has already begun operations
in the Clarke's Fork valley of Carbon
county and at least one person is
known to be suffering from the pecu-
liar malady.
G. f. Peterson, who resides a few
miles south of Bridger is the victim
OF a ticks bite. He was bitten some
time during the earlier part OF April,
but as no serious consequences en-
sued within a reasonable time he paid
no attention to the matter, until last
week, symptoms of the fever manifest
ed themselves. Fortunately for the
man it is said that the attack is a
mild one and no great danger is appre-
hended.
Doctor l.. A. Gates of Bridger is the
attending physician. During his prac-
tice there he has had several cases
under his care and has written artl-
cles on the disease that have attract
ed considerable attention from the
medical fraternity. Last year he
wrote a contribution to the report OF
the United States marine hospital
hospital service, which branch OF the
government last summer sent a cou'
pie of it's physicians to the state to
make an investigation of the strange
malady, which is confined to only two
places in Montana, the Bitter Root
ard Clarke's Fork valleys.
It is said that the ticks are unus'
ually plentiful in the infested region
about Bridger and fear is entertain
ed that more than the ordinary mum
Der OF cases of the fever will occur
there this summer.

FORSYTH HAS SHOOTING.
Policeman Badly Wounds Tramp Who
Assaults Him.

Saturdays arrivals from Forsyth
brought particulars of a shooting at
fray that occurred there the night be-
fore in which a policeman seriously
wounded a tramp.
Two tramps were on a freight train
that arrived from the west. The
trainmen said that they got on at
Billings and were discovered a short
distance east of this city. The fell
lows were put off, but as soon as
the train began to move climbed on
again. A little further along they
were elected the SECOND time, when
one of them drew a revolver on the
conductor, Sullivan. They were mo-
Tested no further and were on the
train when it reached Forsyth. The
train crew notified the police and two
officers went in search of the men,
whom they found concealed in a car
loaded with ties.
The policemen ordered them to get
out. They complied with the order
and we're told to throw up their hands.
One of the men did SO, but the other
started to rum, with a policeman in
close pursuit. The officer fired into the
air and the hobo stopped and was
locked up. The one who had made
signs of submission when arrested
now took a notion to make a bolt and
ran around the coal dock. In front
Of the depot he was overhauled and
the policeman who had been chasing
him covered him with his revolver and
for the second time commanded him
to hold his hands aloft. The order
was obeyed and the tramp started to-
ward the officer and when within a
few feet of him suddenly drew a pis-
toll with his right hand, while with his
left he grabbed the officers weapon.
The officer fired before the revolve.
could be DETECTED SO as to change
the course of the shot and hit the
tramp in the hand, the bullet passing
through the member and through the
mans throat.
The wounded man gave his name as
Henry Cunningham and his com
panion that of Hugh Quill. They
said they were on their way to Miles
City, where they had friends. Bott
claimed to have come from IRELAND
only a few. months ago and to have
worked in Colorado. They are though
to be the men who recently robbed {
store at Sheridan, Wyo., and for whom
Sheriff Nelson of that place was max
ing search here last week.
A revolver was picked up where
Cunningham and the policeman hat
their scuffle. Two cartridges showed
the imprint of the hammer, indicating
that attempt had been made to fir
them. The wounded man is under tn
care of a doctor and it is believed
he will recover

NOT MANY HOMESEEkERS.
Little Business Follows Special Rates
to Settlers.

St. Paul and Minneapolis newspa-
pers are authority for the statement
that with May 1 all the railroads, OK
cept the Northern Pacific, Great North
ern and $780, withdrew their special
rates to h~omeseekers. The amount OF
business done has been a disappoint-
ment, having fallen short of that re-
corded for former years.
The three roads named will continue
their rates through the first three
Tuesdays of the present month. Be-
cause of the lack of extra travel the
rates are called off two months earlier
than usual.

A GORGEOUS
SPECTACLE
Happy HooIigan' Which Comes
to the Lewiston Opera House
Full of Hilarity

The announcement at the Lewiston
opera house on Saturday and Sunday
February 6 and Z, is the ever popular
production of the musical farce COM
edy Happy Hooligan" which comes to
us this season as an entirely new pro-
duction, embellished with new and
tasteful scenery, and costumes of
richness and value that are entirely
beyond any thing ever before seen in
farce comedy. AS the costumes and
scenery are new. so are also the spe-
cialties, music, dances and ensembles.
The entire production has been made
by the management a glittering and
gorgeous spectacle, and no expense has
been spared to have everything of the
very highest class. There is cheer
fulness and gaity about Mr.. Opper's
genial hobo, which when put into dra-
matte form, makes his influence well
night irresistible. When the curtain
| goes up the most chronic case of de-
! lection gives way to good feeling and
the misanthrope becomes at once a
creature who views life with rays OF
| the sun shining in his mind. There are
no dumps, blue devils, vapours, me-
grims or hypochondriasis in Happy
Hooligan." Instead there is life, alac-
rity of spirit and pure hilarity, which
never fails to smooth the ruffied brow
of care and palliate melancholy
Happy Hooligan" should be taken NJ
frequent intervals, as the price is with
in reach of all. Billy A. Ward will be
seen this season as the hobo, and Eva
Davenport as Rose Morriarity. Others
of prominence in the company are Otis
II. Wood. Matthews and Law, the Nov
city Trio and Charles Saunders.

SHIPMENT
GOES EAST
Eight Car Loads of Potatoes
Shipped by a Lewiston Firm
During Past Week

State Senator George Z. Crum, of the
commission house of White Bros. &
Co., returned last evening from Pull
man and adjoining points where he
completed the shipment of eight cars
of potatoes to different sections of the
middle west. One of these cars was
shipped TO Louisiana.
In conversation with Teller report
er today Mr. Crum stated that the va
rieties sought for by the trade in TIE
section where the potatoes were
shipped were principally Burbanks and
Rurals. He also stated the potatoes
raised in Colorado, Idaho, Oregon and
Washington were in much demand as
the trade considered them equal If not
better in quality than those raised in
me middle west.
When asked if the prospects for bet
ter prices on potatoes in the spring
were favorable. Mr.. Crum said: No
the prospects are not encouraging for
better prices, at least the present indi-
cations look that way. There is an
unusually large crop of potatoes this
year throughout the west, in fact there
is also an unusually large crop in WIS.,
consin and Minnesota, but the quality
raised in the latter states are not con-
sidered as choice as those raised In
this portion of the west.
1--WE look for slight weakening o.
the market about March l. especially
from the fact that the large volume o.
potatoes that have been "pitted' fol
this winter will be taken out about tina
time"
Mr.. Crum will remain in the city sew
eral weeks owing to the absence o
both w. A. White and E. A. White whC
are in the east on matters of business
connected with the firm.
