DEATH OF P. LARSON.
Millionaire Passes Away at Helena
After Two Years
Illness.

Peter Larson of Helena, the we'll
known millionaire mining man and
railroad contractor, died Friday night
at Helena after two years illness.
Mr.. Larson, who came to this coun-
try SS years ago, a penniless youth
but 20 years of age, was conceded to
be the wealthiest man In the north
west with the exception of Senator
William A. Clark of Montana His
wealth probably exceeds $10,000,00O
and by some people he was rated as
being worth more than $20,OOO,0OO.
He and Thomas Greenough of Mis-
soula at one time owned the Morning
mine at Mullan. The property was
sold less than two years ago to the
Federal Mining & Smelling company
for 100000. Mr.. Larson owned
half interest of the property.
Mr.. Larson was born in 1S49 on the
Danish island of Fyen. In 1869 he
came to this country and went to work
on the jetties at the mouth of the Mis-
slssippi river, going later to Arkansas,
where he first began railroad work.
HIS contracts for railroad building
were the first ventures to make him
rich. Among other lines Mr.. Larson
built the Wallace-Missoula branch of
the Northern Pacific, the Spokane
Falls & Northern, and the Washington
Central. He also had large banking
and timber interests.
In 1880 Mr.. Larson welded Miss Mo
ran of Cascade, Iowa
Mr.. Larson's illness and death was
an indirect result of the Clallam dis
aster, for he was on the i'll fated
steamer, bound for Victoria, B. c., and
after the wreck was afloat in the cold |
water for several hours before he was
finally rescued. Cirrhosis of the liver
resulted and eventually caused his
death. About a year ago he joined |
he Roman Catholic church at Helena.

relephons Case in Court.

The most important case on the docket
at the special session of the Vermont SUI
preme court held at Brattleboro last week
was that OF the state against the Boston
& Maine railroad for violation Of the teie-
phone law enacted by the legislature OF
1906.
This law requires that every railroad
doing business in the state shall grant
every person or corporation operating
public telephone lines in the state and
having at least 500 telephone connections,
equal and reasonable terms and facilities
for installing telephone instruments in
depots and offices OF such railroad COM
panies.
The Vermont Peoples Telephone com
pany of Orleans county demanded the
right to install one of its instruments in
the Boston x Maine railroad station at
Barton Landing last March, and was re-
fused permission to do SO, the company
having a 15-year exclusive contract with
the New England Telephone and Telegraph
company. The company was adjudged
guilty and an appeal taken to the supreme
court.
The case was argued Thursday for the
railroad by John Young of Newport.
Attorney General c. c. Fits OF Brattie-
boro argued for the state. Friday, w. b.
C. Stickney OF Bethel finished the argu-
ment for the railroad. The company
claims that the law is unconstitutional,
because it provides no compensation to
the railroad company for the extra bur-
den imposed upon IT; because il impairs
the obligation of its contract, and for va
rious other reasons. The state claims
that the contract with the New England
company is in restraint of trade and
against public policy, and. therefore,
void, and that the requirement Of the
statute relates strictly to the matter Of
public service, only equal and reasonable
terms being demanded.
