Helena, Nov. Is. 5.-Following dis
closures at the trial of the case OF
Dr. Guy Stone of Glasgow, in the dis
trict count yesterday, who appealed,
and successfully, from the decision of
the state board of medical examiners
to a jury of physicians for a license
to practice medicine in Montana, a
special meeting of the state board
will be held next Monday in Butte to
consider an alleged attempt on the
part of DR.. Stone to bribe DR.. P. H.
Mccarthy of Butte, member Of the
state board.
DR.. Stone testified on the stand
that he handed DR.. Mccarthy check
for $1OO and a diamond ring when
he was in Butte recently. He denied,
however, that the check and diamond
were in the nature of a bribe to in
duence DR.. Mccarthy to use his in
fuence with the state board, but
were simply rendered him as q
guarantee that, if the state board
should be reassembled to give him
another examination, the expenses OF
the special meeting would be defray-
ed. The witness was bitter toward
DR.. William c. Riddell of this city,
secretary of the state board, intimae~
ing he had reason to believe DR.. Rid
dell. at the behest of a physician in
Glasgow tried to keep him from OBJ
tanning his license.
DR.. Mccarthy tore up the check. =.
Rejecting on the matter, he gathered
the piedes, pasted then, togeth9r.
and forwarded the check and the dia-
mond to the state board.
"Imputations refecung on the II
tegrity of the board have been made >
said DR.. Riddell today. eve are all
tarred with the same stick, aI0 the
matter must be probed to the bot
TOM"
The letter calling the special meet
iaG of the board was sent out today

and DR.. Riddell, secretary. 1t reads:

NEGRO ACCUSED OF SHOOTING
iowa POLICEMAN, IS HELD
IN THE ward COUNTY JAIL
Gust MeMain, Who Was Carrying
Big Dangerous Knife, Arrested Sun.
day Night by Officer Harcigan.

Gust McMain, negro, who has
teen putting up storm windows and
doing odd jobs arounI town for the
past three weeks, was arrested by
Patrolman Mike Hardi5an Sunday
nigh, upon the advice Of Patrolman
Countryman of Burlington, la. It
is believed that McMain is a bad
character and the negro who two
years ago snot and near killed the
Burlington officer, who caused his ar
rest in this city
McMain was given a hearing be-
fore Judge Leighton Tuesday after
neon, but was released upon habeas
~rpus proceedings, as there was in
sufficient evidence to hold him on
this charge
At the. time he was arrested, he
carried a big knife with a blade six
ches long in his outside coat poe
ket, and he was re arrested upon an
order issued out of the county court,
on the charge Of carrying concealed
weapons. This will hold him in the
county Jail for several days and in
the meantime, the Burlington officer
will secure atfidavits in the hopes
that the man can be held on the for
mer charge. If this is done, Nc
Main will be taken back to Iowa as
soon as requisition papers can be Sc
cured
Story Of the Shooting.
About two years ago, negro, be-
'ieved to be McMain, accompanied by
a red headed white man were accost-
ed on the streets Of Burlington by
Patrolman Countryman who asked
them their business He was told
that they were going to restaurant
to get something to eat, after which
they intended to leave the city The
patrOlman noticed that the white
man was looking at the negro in
queer manner, and turned around
just in time to get a bullet thru his
mouth. Nearly all Of his teeth were
knocked out. The bullet passed
around the head, coming out at the
rear of the neck. The men made
their escape, and the negro had new
er been captured
McMain got into some trouble q
few weeks ago with a 500 conductor
down the line in McFenry county,
and he has brot suit against the 500
for damages, employing a Minot at
torney to look after his case.

DR.. STONE FAILS

q PASS BOARO
Word has been received in Minot
that DR.. Stone, who recently left
Minot to open hospital 1T Glasgow,
Mont, has failed to pass the medi-
cal examination Of the state board OF
Montana. There are good many
in Minot who are not at all surprised
It will be remembered that not long
before the doctor left Minot, he was
appointed county physician by the
present board Of county commission
ers. This was not at all surprising,
either.

FOR TWO FINGERS
Stanley Man Who Monkeyed With
Dynamite Cap Gets Small Sum.

Gustav A. Wendelin, who sued Jos.
Peters of Stanley for damages,
for the loss of two fingers, was
awarded $500 dances in y. s. dis
trict court in this city Friday. The
case was rather peculiar. Wendelin,
who had rented a house from Peters
found some dynamite caps in the
building. Picking one of them with
a pin, the thing exploded shatter-
ing his hand so badly that two fin
gers had to be amputated. The
plaintiff claimed damages on the
grounds that Peters had no business
having dangerous dynamite caps in
the house.

MUST SATISFY EMPLOYER
Validity of Employees Contract
Hangs on This Point.

The Appellate Division OF the Supreme
court rendered a decision yesterday that will
he farreaching IN IT'S effect on contracts
between employer and employe that call
for the performance Of duties &C. the sat
isfaction of the employer. The court held
that I'm such contracts the employer must
be the sole judge. or especial importance
is the decision I'm the theatrical profession
where many OF the contracts provide that
the work of the performer must be to the
satisfaction of the manager
The case decided was that OF Charles
Ginsbers, a designer of cloaks, against
Bernard Friedman a manufacturer Of
Clcaks. Tho plaintiff sued for alleged
wrongful discharge from his employment
While working under contract. Friedman
produced the contract that he had with
Ginsberg. which said that the services Of
the designer tlust he 20 his entire salts
faction. and that Friedman was to be the
final judge. Friedman pointed ont that the
service Of the plaintiff after he had been
in his employ about seven months was not
satisfactory to him and so discharged Gins
berg. The trial judge In the City Court
left il to the jury 10 say whether tho cir
cumstarces justified the dissatisfaction OF
Friedman. and the jury gave verdict for
sS2i in favor Of tho designer. The verdict
was affirmed by the Appellate Term Of the
Supreme Court, Friedman then taking the
case To the Appellate Division.
Tho higher court decided yesterday that
the trial judge erred in leaving TO tho jury
the question whether there was any ground
for dissatisfaction. The Appellate Division
said: "'The only question TO be determined
was whether or not the defendant was in
fact dissatisfied, and discharged the plain
tiff for that reason. If his dissatisfaction
was real, and not assumed merely TO rid
himself Of his employe, 1t was of no con-
sequence whether or not tho jury thought
that he ought to nave been satisfied"
The Appellate Division reversed the
Judgment of the City Court and Of the
Appellate Term, and ordered q now trial.
