FEDERAL APPOINTMENT
CITY ATTORNEY Is TO SUCCEED
FLETCHER MADDOX At
WASHINGTON.

The nature of City Attorney l. B
kirkland's mission to Washington was
not known when he left here last
week, but it is made clear by the fol-
lowing dispatch from the capital:

Myers and Walsh for the appoint
ment as solicitor in the internal reye-
nue. office of the treasury department
to succeed Fletcher Maddox, who has
held the office for five years. The
position pays $1,000 per annum and is
important, as the solicitor is the legal
advisor on matters affecting internal
revenue laws, and probably will in
crease in importance if the collection
OF income taxes Is entrusted to the in
ternal revenue bureau. Mr.. Kirkland
has been called to Washington for a
conference with the secretary of the
treasury and commissioner of internal
revenue, and If the conference is sat
isfactory his early appointment is ex-
pected."

The city council returned last night
to the important subject of cutting
down some OF the hills and street
grading generally, Mayor Symmes
opening the discussion by declaring
that In his view this grading of Broad
way and Janeaux streets should be
done under the Improvement system
plan. II would. he said, cost fully $50,
900 to do all the grading necessary on
the numerous streets.
Alderman Wiedeman said that the
expense would be greater than that
sum. For the immediate future, the
task OF grading one street on each
side OF Main. made necessary by the
paving of Main, would have to be
taken up. Mr.. Wiedeman favored do
Ing some of the more necessary street
grading at once. The dirt from some
of the cuts could be hauled to the
Frank Day park. where lot Of filling
was necessary, and in that way they
could kill two birds with one stone
This policy met with the approval of
the other aldermen, Messrs. Sutter,
Berkin, dAutremont and Ford.

On motion Of Mr.. Wiedeman, the
clerk was instructed to demand from

ell, the opening Of Water street from

MILWAUKEE,.
LAWSUIT IS TERMINATED
c. A. Goodnow Orders Resumption Of
Work on the MiIwaukee's Fine

The condemnation proceeding insti

was to have come up for hearing be-
fCre Judge Ayers yesterday morning,
but at the time negotiations were on
to adjust the trouble and before eve
ming the whole matter had been set.
tied. The Great Northern finally con.
sented to turn over this property to
the Milwaukee at the purchase price,
plus taxes and carrying charges, and
these will be fixed at Great Falls to-
day, being merely question of COM
putation.
The Milwaukee supposed it had an
understanding with the Great Nor
thern to take over these lots, which
were purchased by the Hill company
at the time it was proposed to build
eastward via Spring creek, this being
later changed to the Boyd creek route.
This change made the property un-
necessary to the Great NOrthern's
plans and the Milwaukee acquired its
depot property expecting to take over
the lots secured by the Great Nor
thern and which no longer figured in
it's scheme. There was a mitch some
where, however, and when C. A. Good
now, assistant to President Earling,
was here at the end of August he
found that the Great Northern would
not make the transfer. Immediately
Mr.. Goodnow ordered all work on the
depot stopped, pending an adjustment.
The matter remained in this situation
for a short time, and no progress be-
ing made, the suit was begun.
Railway Men Here.
Mr.. Goodnow, with General Counsel
Field, of the Milwaukee, arrived here
Sunday, and l. Parker Veazey, Jr.,
counsel for the Great Northern, came

all day, with the result that an agree
ment was finally reached and only the
details remain to be carried out.

WALTER J. WINNETT SEEKS CAN.
COLLATION. OF TWO
NOTES.
[EPPER FILES HIS ANSWER
Sets Out That He Was Also Victim
ICED on the Purchase of Stock in
the United States Cashier Com
pany, An Oregon Concern-Both
Say Stock Is Of No Value.

Walter ]. Winnett, the pioneer stock
man and rancher Of Winnett, has
brought suit in the district court
against H. M. Todd, now in Billings,
and who was here with B. F. Bonne-
well in 1911, Mr.. Bonnewell being a
stock-selling agent for the United
states Cashier company, Of Oregon.
The complaint recites that on Octo-
Der II, 1911, the plaintiff purchased
stock in the Cashier company to the
amount Of $4,000, paying $500 in cash
and giving his notes for the balance,
$500. 1t will be remembered that
the agents of the concern demon
strated change-making machine here
that was marvel Of ingenuity. Mr..
Winnett states that he was induced to
purchase the stock through the false
and fraudulent representations Of
Bonnewell, who stated that the COM
pany had a large and well-eQuipped
factory in operation and within 60
days from that time would put on the
market quantities of the registers;
that the company would at that time
advance the price of it's stock to $40
share, the par value being $40; that
BOnnewell further agreed, as the agent
Of the company, to resell the stock be-
fore January, 1912, at $25 a share. the
profit to be divided equally between
them; that the Cashier company would
begin paying dividends within 80 days
from the date of the deal; that the
shares would be worth $25 each in
the open market in January, 1912. Mr.:
Winnett sets out that all of these false
and fraudulent representations were
made by reason of conspiracy be-
tween the defendant and sRonnevell
for the purpose of selling the stock.
Bonnewell, it is declared, transferred
the notes to the defendant, who is in
solvent and unable to respond in DAM
ages and unless restrained will dis
pose of the notes to some innocent
purchaser, leaving the plaintiff without
redress. Mr.. Winnett represents that
he is willing to return the shares,
which, he declares, were of no value
when sold to him and are of no value
now. He asks that the defendant be
required to surrender the notes for
cancellation. A temporary restraining
order was issued by Judge Ayers. ].

Building in a Street.
The street committee was instruct
ed to look into the complaints made
to the effect that the construction of
a residence was about to begin in the
street at the corner OF Ouelette and
Evelyn. This street has never been
dedicated and the owner of the prop
erty has deed to what would be the
street. II opened up. However, it Is
Claimed that this has been in use for
a good while as a street.
City Clerk Fitton stated that he had
received letter from the state audi
TOR notifying him that the new uni
form system of bookkeeping for mu-
inequalities, provided for by law
passed at the last session of the leg
lslature, required its adoption within
short time. Mr.. Fitton said the sys-
tenn proposed was fine one for
large city like Butte, but did not fit
Lewistown at all, an opinion that was
concurred In by the aldermen. At the
mayors suggestion the clerk has al
ready notified the state auditor of the
view taken by the council.
The Montana Flour Mills company
came in again with a request for per-
mission to put in spur to the Judith
Basin mill, the track to cross Main

ford the company relief, but will not
permit the putting in of track across
Main street. The matter was referred
back to the street committee, which
