The libel suit of the Hon. Jas. A.
Tawney against the Albert Lea
Tribune was decided in favor of the
defendant. The Honorable James
sued for $4,000 damages to his
character and reputatian because
OF criticisms made by the defendant
paper. We have heard of others
who instituted suits for similar
amount, but who through fear of
the cars or for some other reason
best known to themselves dropped
the proceedings before the cause
came to trial. Perhaps it may have
been through a realization of the
fact that an overestimate had been
placed on their character.
The per6dy OF man is again
brought to the notice of St. Louis
county residents by another suit
against John NJ. McClintock and
others entered in United States
court on Friday last by Amanda
Elizabeth Quinn, of Arkansas, one
OF the heirs to the property on which
is now located the Clark aud Leon
ard mines. The case and the facts
leading thereto are not new to the
residents of the range, and while
Mr.. McClintock was formerly elect
ed by the range vote to the Office
of county attorney it lis likely that
same vote would be favorable to a
decree to hang him today.

Special to The Daily Muscular.
Hamilton, Mont. Aug. 29-Manager
w O. Fiskc Of the Valley Mercantile
company is completing as rapidly as
possible the extensive improvements
in the company's store which have
been in progress for a long time. As
soon as he assumed the management
Of the store Mr.. Fiskc undertook its
physical improvement on an extensive
scale, and he now sees his plans near
ing complete realization. This estab-
lishment is the second largest store in
western Montana and sells everything
from a shoestring to thrcshing ma
chine, and Hamilton Is justly proud
OF the institution.
Mr. E'iskes first move i'm the direc-
ton Of Improvement was to rebuild the
basement of the store, which has al
ways been wet from secpage. so wet
that IL had been necessary to keep
pump i'm operation all the time. This
large basement was made water tight
and is now dry all the time without
the necessity OF pumping. This I'm
provement has affected IA betterment
in the cellar as well as great saving
in expense.
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1909-08-30

The increasing business of the big
store called for more room In the IT,
tail departments and the offices. The
latter had iasn badly crowded for \
long tim1. This increase in room Mr.
Fiske has supplied by the construction
OF the annex. which is now almost
finished. The new building Is spa
ciOus; its east front on the ground
floor will be occupied by the offices of
the company and by a well-appointed
rest room for the wives and daughte,-
of farmers who are in town for the
day. This rest room will he comfort
ably furnished and equipped with
dressing and toilet rooms, as well as
cots and couches for the babies. 1t
will be greatly appreciated. and to the
enjoyment of it's comforts Mr.. Fiske
invites all women who are waiting in
town.
The offices will be large and con-
venient Their removal from their
present quarters in the main store
building will afford needed room for
the retail departments, and the new
rooms will be large enough to enable
the office force to do it's work COM
fortahly and efficiently. The changes
are. all in all, a great Improvement.
