HEARING BEFORE CHEADLE IN
YELLOWSTONE CEMENT
COMPANY SUIT.
BRINGS MANY TO CITY
Question As to Courts Jurisdiction Is
Raised by the Defense-Argued at
Great Length-The Parkinson Case
Divorce Granted-AlIeged Horse
Thief.

The very important case Of Henry
M. Ryan, William McInnes, T. J.
Walsh, Frank Henry, and others,
against the Yellowstone Portland
Cement company, Donald Grant,
Harvey, l.. A. Harney, and others,
came on before Judge Cheadle yester
day morning upon an application by
the plaintiffs for the appointment of
a receiver and the employment of a
mechanical engineer to complete the
construction of the plant, as we'll as
for an accounting by Samuel Grant
as general manager. The plaintiffs
were represented by T. J. Walsh, of
Helena, and James F.. O'Connor, of
Livingston, appeared for the defen-
dants. The defense at once raised the
point as to the jurisdiction OF the
court, the defendant company being a
foreign corporation, organized under
the laws of Arizona. Mr.. O'COnnor
argued this point at great length, not
concluding the presentation OF au-
thorities until 4 o'clock in the after
noon or later, when Mr.. Walsh began
his reply. He was speaking when
|
ments were resumed.
| The company owns vast deposit
OF pure white limestone in Yellow
stone county, near the boundary or
! the national park, and is engaged In
installing plant there for the manu-
facture of Portland cement. The
plaintiffs claim that in this work
there has been much extravaganza
and that Samuel Grant, the general
manager, is not experienced in this
line of work. 1t is for that reason
that the employment Of mechanical
engineer is asked. 1t is also alleged
that the accounts have not been prop
erly kept, so that the exact status OF
affairs cannot be ascertained from the
books. Mr.. Ryan and those associated
with him appear to own 1,865,OO(
shares of stock, as against 100000
owned by the individual defendants.

project, including the Grants, Mr.

CROWDS LEAVE FOR
THE STATE FAIR
SPLENDID PROGRAM OFFERED AT
HELENA DURING THIS WEEK
1.-THE FERGUS EXHIBIT.

Under smiling skies, the state fair
at Helena opened yesterday morning
and the promise is for fair weather
throughout the week.
Yesterdays train took a large num-
ber Of Lewistown people to the cap
ital city, and this morning another
large delegation went out, augmented
by passengers from every stopping
place on the line to Lombard. Some
of the Lewistown visitors left here
Sunday in order to be on hand for the
opening. Fergus county has a mag
nificent display at the fair this year.
1t was shipped there some time ago
and Messrs. Surprenant and Went.
worth, who collected it, spent several
days getting it in the best possible
shape. Following the Helena fair, 1t
will be shipped to st. Paul for the
great land show, and Messrs. Surpre-
nant and Wentworth will go on there
! to arrange it for display.
| 1t is expected that another large
crowd will leave here in the morning
for the fair. The program arranged
this year is easily the most attractive
ever offered, including two airships in
daily flights, a superb racing program
and many new features.

ONLY TWO HUNDRED
HAVE REGISTERED
QUITE A RUSH is EXPECTED,
HOWEVER. AFTER THE
HARVEST SEASON.

While the great register at County
Clerk Cunninghams office has been
open for several weeks, the total num-
Der registered is only two hundred,
and the light registration is surprise
to many. Those who have looked in
to the matter, however, say that such
result might have been looked for.
The registration in Flathead county
is quite heavy, simply because Kali
spell recently held an election on the
adoption of the commission form of
government and everybody who had
vote registered. Down in Silver Bow
there is also a heavy registration, due
to the fact that bond election Is
pending. In the state at large the
counties where there is no election in
sight for long time, the result is the
same as in Fergus. Another reason
for the small registration here thus
far is the fact that outside of the
towns, everyone is busily engaged in
the harvest fields, and will not get
around to this matter until a little
later. 1t is predicted that prior to
the next general election the registra.
ton in Fergus county will be the most
complete in it's history. The Oldest
man to register here is aged 81 years;
the youngest 81; the tallest 6 feet 3
inches, and the shortest 5 feet
inches.

NEW SERVICE ON

AND PROMISES TO GIVE
SATISFACTION.

The new train service on the Mon
tana Railroad went into effect yester-
day and gives promise of working

Lewistown now has a daylight SER
vice is looked upon as an advantage.

Butte and the west. while the train
formerly leaving at 1880 p. m. and

The contest thermometer this week
shows on the surface a little decrease
in the interest and excitement. This
was to be expected after the fever
heat of last week when the double
vote offer closed. But this seeming
decrease is only on the surface, for
all the candidates are out working
and all are working as hard as ever.
Miss Mae Smith, who has, since
the contest started, been working
among friends in Virginia City and
Butte, returned last week and polled
sufficient votes to secure the lead.
Miss Butler, of Stanford, retains Sec
ond place by slight majority. The
way the contestants are all running
and the nearness of the close gives
evidence that the prizes are all going
to be won by close margins.
The Sweitzer Special announced
last week is causing quite a stir. All
of the candidates are trying for this
special. In fact, they cannot help but
try for it, as all votes issued on the
Special count toward winning one OF
the main prizes.
A twenty-five dollar cash bonus
will be given to any contestant turn
ing in a total of eighty years in sub
scriptions between the dates of Wed
nesday, September q, and Thursday
October 5, at ten p. m. AS you viii
notice, this offer and the Sweitzel
Special close on the same night. II
no way can you make yourself more
eligible to win the Special than by
endeavoring to win this cash bonus
This offer applies to new and old sub
scriptions alike. 1t doesn't matter
whether the subscriptions apply OF
the Special or not. All years turned

ficers, were only made public today.
Wife Of His Partner.
Mr.. Mckay, who Is about 40 years

that while her husband was away
Mckay made the assault complained

and on the west side of Fergus and
has many friends who are astounded
at the charge made against him. For
a long period he has been engaged In
the sheep and cattle business.

the assault, Is the mother of two chill
dren and her husband is determined
, to push the matter to the limit.

EXTRA SESSION UNLIKELY.
SAY cR0THERS' FRIENDS
Maryland Legislature Will Not Tie
the Hands Of Goldsboroueh
on Appointments.

BALTIMORE. Md, December Gov
Crothers is saying nothing for publica.
ton In reference to the request by demo.
Gratis IN Wilson ballot counties that he
call an extra session Of the legislature
TO perpetuate the Wilson ballot law. He
has promised to give his reply tomorrow
to committee which laid the request
before him. At the executive mansion
In Annapolis last night he said he had
no announcement to make of his plans
He added that he will make no announce.
ment until tomorrow.
Although the governor is saying moth.
ing, some of his friends, who are sun
posed to be conversant with his views.
are talking. and they say there will be
no extra session. :
The main reason for the governors re-
fusal to call an extra session. his friends
say. would first be because OF the divi-
sion between the southern MARYLAND lead
ers as to what should be done in the
wilson ballot law matter and secondly
because the governor is Confident that
the legislature would not put through the
program he desires in an extra session.
Inc threats Of certain democratic lead
ers that Gov Elect Goldsboroughs hands
would be tied before he was inaugurated
by the creation of a commission which
would handle the bulk Of the state an
pofntments, an Official said, would amount
to nothing more than talk. He predicted
tnat MT Goldsborough does not at
tempt to load down the state office with
machine republicans the new governor
will be permitted to make his appoint
ments unmo1ested, and the senate would
follow the usual rule and ratify his nom-
nations. despite the fact that tho law
would permit the bulk OF the existing
state officials to remain In power on their
failure to do so.

A TALE OF THE NORTH
For the Evening Stars Serial Read
ers Begins Tomorrow.

1.-THE Honor of the Big Shows is the
title of The Evening Stars new daily
serial which begins tomorrow. It is by
James Oliver Curwood. This, his latest
story. is easily his strongest. He has
again taken the reader to the great Hud-
son bay country, which he knows SO
well and paints so fascinatingly, but
this time he has written a human drama
Of greater simplicity and of more vital
Significance than hitherto.
Jan, his hero, Is a unique and striking
character In the fiction Of the day.
Whence he comes or how when he ap-
pears one night at the cabin OF John
Cummins as has wife lies dying is not
set forth at first: one loves him for
what he is and for the wonderful music
OF the violin ne has strangely brought
with him. strange combination is Jan
Of the strong. primitive man and the
musical genius. There is not only great
strength in him, but . vein OF truest
poetry, yet the two elements SO seldom
found in the same personality do not
impress as homogeneous.
Jan is a creation, drawing and holding
the interest and sympathy as few char
acters have power to do. His devotion
to the little Melesse. to whom he Is
father. mother and brother. Is as dra-
matte as that Of Jean Vatican to Cosette.
While two characters-those OF the
IlOvers-hold the center OF the stage. they
do not crowd the others in the cast into
