FREIGHT
 AGENT IS SLUGGED
WITHOUT WARNING, J. D. Mo NELEy IS STRUCK BY POWER FUL MAN AND IN CONSEQUENCE LIES UNCONSCIOUS IN HospI. TAIL.

J. D. McNeley, freight agent of the s. F., P. & F., and George Sharp, act ing yardmaster for the same road here, were this morning assaulted by man named Coke, and as result McNeley is lying at the Sisters hospital in a dazed condition and Sharp's eye is in mourning, says the Gazette.
 It is not known that McNeley and Coke had any serious trouble that might cause one man to assault anoth- CT. Coke has been employed about the yards for some time, and it is presumed that in the course of business he had some words with the freight agent, which treasured up.
 This morning, according to the story of Mir. Sharp, McNeley was talking to him, when Coke walked up behind him, bue neither of the two men noticed him at first. Then Sharp saw Coke suddenly strike at McNeley, and the freight agent went down, right before his eyes, in a erumpled heap.
 ''My God, man, what are you do- ing'" burst from Sharp.
 Just as he said that Coke struck Lions, Pumas and Panthers, s20;--- him a stunning blow in the eye. With that he walked away and, going to the timekeeper, asked for his time, saying that he would not work another day for the blankety-blank road.
 McNeely was immediately removed to the hospital, but he did not fully regain his senses after the blow was struck, and now lies in stupor.
 A warrant was sworn out for Coke in Justice Johnstone s court, and he was soon behind the bars. Later he was released on bail.
 Sharp does not know whether Coke struck MeNeley with his fist or with some sort of club, but it is thought that the blow was delivered with the fist alone. Coke is a powerful six footer, while McNeley is slender man of much less strength.
 Coke's side of the story is somewhat different. He says that McNeley cast improper reflections upon himself and young lady with whom he had been going. The girl has been in the habit of going down to see him every day and riding about with him on the switch engine. Coke ayers that McNeley sent in a report to Prescott to the effect that he was having improper relations with the girl while they were together in the cab of the engine, all against the peace and dignity of the Santa Fe railroad. When he learned of this his Ire was naturally aroused and this morn ing he deliberately walked up and hit McNeley on the jaw. Sharp rushed in and he (Coke) thinking that the yard master intended to hit him, hit him in the eye.
 Coke says that he did not hit Me Neley behind the ear, but on the point of the jaw. This would produce the same condition of stupor affecting Me Neley.
 There are two warrants against Coke, both for battery; one for striking Me Neley and the other for beating Sharp. Soon after his arrest Coke gave bail and was released.

RANDOLPH AGAIN
 SUED BY LINDSAY

Epes Randolph, president of the liar riman lines in Arizona and Mexico, and also interested in mining in the southwest, has brought suit against Lycurgus Lindsay in the superior court of Los Angeles. The suit is the out growth of the failure of the Llanos de Orc company and Colonel Randolph is suing Lindsay for his portion of $26,- 7s4.62, which Randolph advanced to clear the property and machinery of debt
 The story of the failure of the Llanos de Gro involves the expenditure of large sum of money, aggregating al- most half million dollars, on the recommendation of some of the best known mining experts in the country.
 The property was purchased by Ran dolph and Lindsay originally for $75,- 900. The purchasers organized com pany, capitalized at $4,O0O,OOo, and is- sued to themselves the entire capital stock. In order to raise funds for de. velopment work and the erection of a mill, the company borrowed money from those anxious to get in on a good thing giving notes of the company for the money thus advanced, together with bonus of four shares of the capital stock for every dollar advanced. Fol example, an investor who loaned tho Llanos de Gro company 5000, ant took the company's note in payment received $20,00 worth of the capita stock of the company, all of which wal in the hands of Lindsay and Randolph In this manner some $400,000 was ex pended.
 Before the mill was started it wal necessary to raise more funds, and in stead of going outside for additiona money and giving up stock as bonus | which would have cost Lindsay an' Randolph the control, it was decided b, the above named gentlemen to advance the money themselves, taking notes O the company, the same as other invest ors. According to the complaint Lind say was unable to advance his pro rata which was put up by Randolph, and i is this amount which was advanced b. Randolph that is at present in lit gation.
 After some delay the mill was start ed and the first run netted somethin like $50,000, but the rich ore was 500

President Roosevelt may personally
 feel the greatest satisfaction at the progress that is being made on the canal. His enemies have been on the alert since the beginning of the enter prise for material to use against him to his disadvantage, and they have found nothing of any weight. Today they have less opportunity of even making a pretense of criticism than ever be- fore. It is safe, indeed, now to say that the canal bids fair to be when com pleted a monument to American enter prise and ability. The one danger is probably the interference of partisan ship under nntoward political condi.

The proposed enormous increase in the size and cost of the fleet reflects the Japanese war scare.

COUNTY GETS INTEREST
ON THE Publ

/ ON THE PUBLIC MONEY.
4 Among the receipts Of the Chouteau
! county treasurer the past few days
/ We're several checks aggregattng ST.
30S.05 in amount, which represents the
interest upon the deposits Of the
public funds during the past six
months, says the River Press. This
is q new departure In the financial aft
fairs Of the county. It is believed
to be the first instance of record In
Montana ii which the profits on pub
| lie fnuds have been placed to the Gre
dit Of the taxpayers.
! This new departure is the result OF
movement that was endorsed by most
of the people Of Chouteau county In
| the political campaign OF last year.
when the subject Of interest on public
funds became one OF the leading is
sues. In the absence Of any state Law
affecting the matter, and anticipating
that the tenth assembly might fail 10
deal with the question, it was pro-
posed that each Of the candidates for
the office Of county treasurer give d
! pledge that, in the event Of his ell
ection, ne would account for any pro-
fits that might accrue from deposits
Of public funds entrusted to his care.
This plan was adopted, and in the ell.
ection that followed, Mr.. l.. @. Hudson
the democratic candidate who had
given the desired pledge, received
majority OF the Yotes cast for the Of
flee OF treasurer OF Chouteau county
Mr.. Hudson entered upon the duties
OF his office the first week in March,
and at once made arrangements with
the several banks In the county to re-
celye deposits OF money from the
Chouteau county treasury and pay in
terest thereon at a specified rate. It
was agreed that such interest should
be paid every six months. and the
amount just received Is the first in
stallment due under the plan. The
receipt OF interest upon their public
funds is an Innovation that will be an
preciated by the taxpayers.
