FOR THE DEFENDANT.
Jury in Wool Case Finds Against
Plaintiffs. H.

It took. the jury in the case of Sill
herman Bros. VS.. J. F. Locke only a
short time Io arrive at a verdict. 1t
was in favor of the defendant and
against the plaintiffs. AZ
The particulars of the action were
contained in the last issue OF The Ga
zette. Briefly stated, the Silbermans,
who are Chicago commission men,
sued Locke to recover something over
$500, alleged to be due as a deficiency
that arose in the sale of a clip OF wool
consigned to them by defendant in
1900. Through theft local agent, w.
W. Beasley, an advance was made
on the consignment at the rate OF IL
cents a pound. The plaintiffs contend
that the advance money was paid
with the understanding that in case
the wool realized less than that price
when sold Locks was to make good
the difference. His contention is that
he had a special contract by which ne
was to receive no less than the full
amount of the advance and as much
more as the clip might eventually
bring. The price that he said had
been agreed upon was to be for the
wool delivered at Chicago.
Only one witness was examined in
behalf of the plaintiffs, who gave the
bulk of their testimony through depo-
| sitions. The defendant had a number
| of witnesses, who in the main facts
corroborated his statement of the
case.
Oral notice of a motion for a new
trial was given Immediately after the
Jury had announced it's findings. Nine
ty days we're granted in which to
prepare a statement of the case on
a motion for a rehearing and in which
to file a bill of exceptions.
The same parties have also another
case pending in court in which the
| facts are virtually the same as those
| involved in the Locke matter. w. r.
Kermode and w. e. Davis are the
| defendants. The action was to have
been tried at the present term, but
an agreement was reached between
the %contending parties by which a
written stipulation has been filed with
the court binding them to abide by
the final determination of the action
against Locke. Hearing OF the Other
action is consequently d;pensed with

Mrs. H. E. Armstrong returned Sat-
urday morning from Brainerd, to
which place she accompanied her hus-
band, Doctor Armstrong, who entered
the hospital there for treatment for
blood poisoning. She reports him as

home, a report that was still further
strengthened yesterday by the receipt
of a telegram and letter announcing
continued improvement.

After denying the motion for a con-
tinuance, made by defendants in the
case of the Billings Land and 1rriga-

the matter June 8, at 8 o'clock, when
the action will be tried on it's mer IS.
In order that this might be done his
honor decided to merely take a recess
until that date, instead of adjourn.ntg

of the case taken up yesterday, which
was the last on the docket.

NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY EN-.
TIERS LOCAL FIELD.
Low RATES ARE PROMISED
Subscribers May Become Stockhold-
ers in Concern at Great Saw
ing to Themselves.

\Articles of incorporation were
filed last Friday afternoon by two new
telephone companies, both of which
have their headquarters in Billings
and are strictly local institutions.
One is called the Billings Mutual
Telephone company and the other the
Billings Telephone Construction COM
pany. The first named has a capital
stock of $4,000, and the incorporates
are L.. L. Moffett, P. B. Moss and
M. A. Arnold. H. w. Rowley, NJ. A.
Arnold and P. B. Moss are the incor-
p%orators of the construction COM
pany, the capital stock of which is
$4,000.
On Mutual Plan.
In response to a. request from The
ing statement concerning the two
companies:
"The Billings Mutual Telephone
company was incorporated to take
over, in the near future, the Moffett
local exchange.
"The telephone subject has been
more or less talked of in this vicinity
during the last three months and after
a careful Investigation | have found
that all the leading eastern towns,
from small hamlets to large cities,
have adopted the local exchange idea
in preference to foreign corporations
owning them. The time for %independ-
ent telephoning. is at hand, and the
field is inviting for such a business.
The rapid settlement of the country
adjacent to Billings by the eastern
people who have had experience in
this business will be of great benefit
in encouraging the enterprise. The
Moffett company is now installing adj
dltional switchboard capacity and will
move to the ground IGOR offices re-
Gently vacated by the kron millinery
| store, and will be able to take care
of several hundred additional sub
| %scribers.
"After investigating the various
rates in vogue in different cities, we
propose to adopt what we consider a
fair and ~remunerative rate and to the
stockholders, this rate will be at &C
tual cost of the running and mainte-
nance of the plant, while the subscrib-
ers swho do not care to avail them
selves of stock will be charged the
adopted rates.
GA local corporation built on the
other enterprises that have been fos-
tered in this community, and the peo-
pie that have the interest. of the city
at heart can but recognize that this
is the only true way of building up
a thriving city. Every enterprise that
can be gotten here and owned and
controlled by local people is so much
towards making the town that much
better, however significant it may ap-
pear to some people, yet it all has
it's bearing on the betterment and
prosperity of the town.
To Build New Lines.
"The Montana Telephone Construc-
ton company is organized for the
purpose of constructing and building
telephone lines, and may also engage
in operating a long distance line,
which is designed primarily to con-
meet the towns of this territory with
the local exchange. From all indica-
lions there will be a large influx OF
