WAYS OF MONTANA JUSTICE.
TIE COMPROMISE JUDGE AND
THE JURY THAT AGREED.

Tale OF = Stray Cayuse That Cost More
Than its worth TO Recover - How
Judge Lynch Secured the Secret Of
Eleven Obstinate Men In $40 900 Suit
HELENA, Mon, April s.-Seated In the
Office Of the clerk were several members Of
the bar and others awaiting the convening
Of the Supreme Court. One Of the lawyers,
In a reminiscent mood, related two tales
Of early day court procedure.
There was a Judge sitting in southern
Montana at that time said he,' who was
more on compromise than justice-at least
that was the current opinion at tho time.
No matter what the case. his finding was
almost invariably in the nature Of a COM
promise between the contentious Of the two
parties.
Il well remember one case in particular,
A cayuse had either strayed or been stolen
from a ranch dur ing one night, and two
days later it was found In the possession
of a man whose reputation was not all that
1t could have been 80 far as rugged honesty
Is concerned.
There being no evidence upon which
to secure conviction on a criminal charge,
civil proceedings we're Instituted for the
recovery Of the animal, which was worth
in the neighborhood Of 500.
The finding Of the Judge was that the
defendant should return the animal 10 its
owner, but that the latter should pay the
costs, which amounted to about 500. This
thoroughly aggravated counsel for the
plaintiff, who blurted out in words more
torceful than appropriate:
You blank fool, when you don't know
what 70 do, favor your friends; favor your
friends
He was not fined for contempt, although
the Judge plainly felt that the dignity Of
the court had been abused.
Another Incident Of the early EOS. A
case was being tried In which property
valued at about $40, 900 was at stake. After
a somew hat prolonged trial and still greater
elaboration on the part OF the Jury, the
latter reported its inability TO agree and was
discharged. One man had frustrated the
juTy's unanimous action.
second trial was had and resulted
in verdict. Some two or three years
afterward / learned why the second Jury
had not been tied up also
While riding with a friend who had
served on the jury, he told me that there
was one man unqualihedly opposed . TO
returning the proper verdict. The fore
man prepared the verdict and IL was signed
by eleven OF them. Drawing his revolver.
he informed the obstinate Juror that he
must sign or be shot.
THE juror signed and was then warned
II he disclosed the secrets Of the Jury room
he would be lynched. Afterward the ma

LOBSrERS AT 80 CENTN
Lament OF . Man OF Moderate Means over
the Loss OF a FavOrite Dish

Lament OF = Man OF Moderate Means over
the Loss OF a FayOrite Dish.
Il don't know Of anything that distresses
me MORE said the man Of moderate
means, 'than the present price Of Holsters.
SThe lobster Is to me, among the edible
things Welded by the sea, what the peach Is
among the fruits Of the land. and asparagus
among the earths vegetable products;
namely, the choicest and most delightful
one Of all; but with Holsters at 80 cents a
pound they are quite beyond my reach;
and all l can do is to dream Of the time when
they sold for Eve, and we had all the Holsters
We could eat.
sThe only way TO cook them, according
TO my belief, is to stew them. HOLSTERS are
good in any way you can cook them, but
they are best Of all stewed, and / might
add that ! have never eaten anywhere
stewed HOLSTERS 30 good as those we had at
home.
sWe used to buy fresh, lively HOLSTERS only
and boil them and pick out the meat, taking
care 10 save all the fat, and then cut up the
meat into suitably sized pieces and, with
a little butter and water added, stew the
whole with gentle simmer and tn m serve,
and what dish it made 10 look at, with its
contrasting colors Of red and green and
white, and what a dish to eatl
Il used to eat that stewed lobster on
bread; put a nicely buttered slice Of home
made bread on plate and then have the
stewed lobster dished out on that, the
gravy saturating the bread, and giving 10
that, as well the lobster flavor, and so en-
larging the delights Of the feast. l have
never eaten any peacocks' tongues, nor
any other Of those weird dishes wherewith,
as we are told, the ancient Romans once
RECALLED themselves, but l am satisfied that
there never was and never will be anything
In the world 30 good TO eat as stewed lobster
properly cooked and served.
sAnd we used TO have stewed lobster for
breakfast every Sunday morning. We
lobster for breakfast Sunday mornings;
and / was grateful that l was alive and
blessed with a keen appetite, and blessed
Wtth.stew lobster 10 satisfy Il.
when Holsters went up to six cents a
pound we still bought them lust the same,
but when they went 10 eight we began 10
fear that the time might come when we
should have TO do without lobsters and
now, with Holsters az 80 cents a pound,
that time has long since come. We have
no Holsters now save only in our dreams
there Is nothing read in the newspapers
that interests me more than the accounts
find there occasionally Of the work Of the

OF the lobster. Success to their effortsl

NORTH CAROLINA TAX bonds.
Proposed Two Per Cent. Settlement Bond
for tie Principal Only.

Proposed Two Per Cent. Settlement Bond
for tie Principal Only.
The recent decision Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States In the case of South
Dakota against North Carolina In regard
TO bonds issued by the latter State before
the war has effected a material improve
ment In the position Of the special tax bonds.
1t Is now proposed that all the accumu-
lated interest be surrendered and a settle
ment bond be accepted for the principal,
to carry per cent This adjustment viii
be aided by the increased prosperity Of the
State and by the gradual reduction Of the
existing State pension tax. To effect these
results a committee has been formed. with
John G. Carlisle as chairman, and Il asks
that deposits be made at the United States
Trust Company, IS Wall street. Certia
Gates are to be issued In exchange for bonds
deposited.
The bonds In question were issued nv
North Carolina IN aid Of the North Carolina
Railroad and the Western North Carolina
Railroad. In 1879 the State became fnan-
cially embarrassed and made a settlefoent
With creditors IN which the bonds were
scaled down. Certain bondholdera Who
objected to this settlement found that
personally they could not maintain an ao-
ton against the State Of North Carolina
but that suit could be brought by a foreign
