NORTH SIDE NEWS.

! John Dawson, the attorney general,
has given an opinion on the Shorey
schoolhouSe situation in which he
says that the majority of the votes
| cast is sufficient to secure new To-
cation instead of majority sof the
| voters in the district. He was asked
to make this opinion by w. E. Atchi-
son, the county attorney.
A special election was held short
| time ago on the location OF the new
schoolhouse. A majority OF the peo-
pie who voted. cast their ballot in
| FAVOR of new location and the mem
| Ders OF the school board have been
holding back pending "a decision from
the attorney.
The people VINO are opposed to the
| new location, VIII ask 1or another
/ election on the proposition but they
| are not sure than they can demand
| it,. However, it will be necessary to
/ hold another election to select a To-
| cation of the proposed new building.
| The people who are opposed TO
| changing the location are not pleased
| with the opinion of the attorney gen
eral and have employed Judge Il. T.
| HaZen to look up the affair and give
| them opinion on the question. They
| expect him to give an opinion within
| the new few days. One of the men
] who is taking an active part in the
| controversy stated this morning that
| a number of persons who opposed the
| new location failed to vote when the
| election was held for the reason that
| they thought a majority in the district
| was necessary. In this manner they
| answer the same purpose as a vote
| against the proposition. They will
ask for another special election on
| these grounds. Those who want the
new location will oppose the PROPOSE.
| ton to reconsider the question.
1t is likely that a decision of the
| courts will be necessary before the
matter is finally settled.

CASHIER CRUSHED
eY FALL OF COAL
John F. o'shea Meets a Shocking
Death In Coal Mine at Bear Creek.

RED LODGE, Dec. 30.-Without an
instant's warning, great mass of
coal and rock crashed to the floor of
the Smokeless and Sootless Coal COM
pany' mine at Bear Creek this after
noon and carried death to John F..
O'Shea, cashier and bookkeeper for
that company. Mr. O'Shea was az
sisting Superintendent j. H. Brophy
in some survey work in one of the
main entries. Mr. Brphy narrowly es-
capped the same fate having just step
ped aside. Long before the debris
could be removed life had become
extinct.
The coroner was called and brought
the remains to this city this evening.
An inquest will probably be held.
Early reports here were to the effect
that large number of miners had
been entcmbed beyond the slide. but
this was declared false by officials of
the company. Mr.. OShea was broth
er of Danio1 G. O'Shea, senator-elect
from Carbon county. He was about
35 years of age and had been in this
vicinity for eight years. His native
land was Ireland It is probable that
the local lodge of Elks will take charge
of the funeral the deceased being a
of that order.

R. R. OBJECTS TO
LARGE FILING FEE
IT COST MILWAUKEE COMPANY
$23,452.31 FOR FILING AR.
TICLES IN THIS STATE.

HELENA, Dec. 28.-When the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway
company filed its articles of incorpora
tion with Secretary of State T. M
Swindlehurst, 1t was assessed a fee
OF $23,452.31 on its capital stock OF
$232.623,100. It rendered a fee of 81
to cover the cost of filing, and when
this sum was refused, paid the amount
requested, but under protest.
The protest gives the secretary OF
state notice of an intention to insti
tute an action to recover the fee paid
in. Under the provisions Of section
165, the size of the fee for filing ar
ticles of incorporation is based on a
graduated scale dependent upon the
of the capital stock.
The constitutionality of this section
is attacked on two grounds: the first,
that 1t is in conflict with the commerce
clause of the federal constitution; and
the second, that because the fee is
based on the amount of the entire
capital stock, it becomes burden up
on the property Of the protestant in
other states, and therefore amounts to
the taking of such property without
due process of law.
This fee is the largest the secretary
Of state has ever received. The Sc
cond largest was paid by the Anacon.
1a Mining company when it increased
It's capital stock. This fee was about
$4,000. The third largest fee was
s10.18S. paid by the Puget Sound when
It entered the Montana field, the pro-
perty Of which the st. Paul is now TAX
Ing over.
