Butte, May S.-Charles w. Cockrell
was remanded to Jail this morning by
Judge Donlan, who denied the writ OF
habeas corpus sued out by attorneys
for Cockrell. The court held that it
was not necessary for the jury to find
specific verdict Of fraud so long as the
acts of fraud were alleged in the COM
plaint.
Cockrell was imprisoned in the
county Jail because he did not pay the
judgment against him secured by A.
w. Deavitt Deavitt brought suit,
claiming that Cockrell had converted
to his own use 200 shares Of Coalition
stock owned by Deavitt valued at &c.
900. The jury found that Cockrell had
done as charged and brought in ver-
dict of $6,400 for Deavitt.
According to statute passed not
long ago by the legislature, where
fraud is alleged in a civil suit the de-
fendant can be imprisoned if he fails
to pay the Judgment, unless he comes
into court and swears that he is un-
able to pay.
Mr.. Cockrell now has the remedy.
but when he comes into court and
makes that cath OF inability to pay.
he can be examined n to what he did
with the money taken ana what other
property he has.

sARY TO SAVE MONEY FOR
RIVERS AND HARBoRs.
ONE MILLION INVOLVED
Under Covering Back" Provision Of
sundry Civil Bill Money Must Be
Turned In to the Treasury Unless
Congress Takes Steps to Make an
Exemption Of These Funds.

Washington, May 8.-Unless con-
gress takes specific action at the spe-
cial session now in progress, nearly
s1000.0OO appropriated for river and
harbor improvements in various sec
tions OF the United States will be con-
verted back into the national treasury,
much to the chagrin of many con-
gressmen and senators.
This situation arises over the "cov-
ering back" section Of the sundry civil
appropriation bill, approved on March
4. This section provides that all un-
expended balances of appropriations
that remained on the treasury books
June l, 1904. except permanent speci-
hed appropriations, judgments and
findings of courts and trust funds and
appropriations for fulfilling treaty OBJ
'igations with the Indians, be carried
to the surplus fund and covered back
Into the treasury provided that the
money is not needed to pay existing
treaties"
To meet the situation, Senator Bur
ton has introduced resolution pro-
viding that the section of the sundry
civil bill In question shall not be con-
'trued as applying to the unexpended
balances in river and harbor appro-
priations which may be essential, in
the judgment of the secretary of war
for the maintenance and prosecution
If the work for which it was appro-
priated
Among the appropriations that will

A BOOSTER FOR THE MINES

Fourteen years ago r. S. Somer-
tailor shop; he has been here ever
since, and the reason he gives for his
continued stay is that Mssoula is the
best place he knows of, and he has
tried q good many others. Established
here, Mr.. Somerville proceeded to
bnlld up business; this he has done
and has done we'll. He is we'll known
all over western Montana; there are
not many people who do not number
Bob Somerville amongst their ac-
quaintances. He has one or two hob
bies; he is stickler for good gov
ernment, ana believes that every man
in office should be on the square, and
that public affairs should be as care
fully handled as private business.
That is hobby to which nobody can
object; if there We're more people who
mad it, there would be a more satis-
factory state of affairs in local gov
ernment sometimes. "Bobs' other
hobby is the mining district of Clin-
ton; this is not a matter of sentiment
with him, but a firm conviction, and
his belief by his extensive investments
in mining property and in real estate
at and near Clinton; a Scotchman can
give no more positive proof than that.
There is good ground for the conf
dence which he feels in this camp,
and his opinion is shared by all who
are familiar with the district. Mr.
Somerville is confident that the time
is not far distant when the Clinton
district will be one of the great cop
per producers of the west, and will
add to the wealth and Importance of
Missoula county. He is not man
who talks much, but he is positive
when he has once made up his mind,
and this is one of the times when his
opinion is firmly and positively fixed. |
His boosting for Clinton is of the pos
tive and practical nature that char
acterizes his opinion; he doesn't say
much about it, but he is working for
1T all the time. He is interested in |
the Red Apple, as are all Missoula |
people, but he pins his faith to the red |
metal !
