TRAMP PREACHER
HURTS CALDWELL
Attacks Morality of the Citizens and
is Asked to Explain the EXtrava-
giant Charges Made.-Had Given a
Series of Lectures i'm the Town.

CALDWELL-State made by
Rev. Rottman, an itinerant preacher,
who has during the past few days
delivered a series of lectures in var
ious places in the city attacking the
morality of the residents of Caldwell,
eliminated Saturday evening when
an irate citizen visited him in his
room in a local hotel and demanded
an explanation of the extravagent
charges made.
The assertions made by Rottman
in the main are unprintable and
many of them would shame a Bowery
tough and likewise would cause the
cheeks of a regular habitue of the
Barbary Coast to resume rosy hue.
The caliber of the man is evidenced
in one statement, made in private
conversation, when he stated that if
he would he could, by giving names
and places" blast 80 per cent of the
homes in Caldwell.
The statement quoted was denied
by the reverend gentleman, but a
committee of local citizens have
proof absolute that the statement was
made. He also denied making other
statements equally contemplate.
The statements of the man are
keenly resented by the substantial
citizens of this place. Caldwell has
long been noted for it's handsome and

M|SS0ULA WINS OUT
IN SUIT
SUPREME COURT DECIDES CASE
AGAINST MISsoULA STREET
RAILWAY COMPANY.

Helena, Feb. 2S.-(Special.)-Two
opinions were handed down by the SUI
preme court today, in both of which
the lower courts We're affirmed. One
suit was that of the Missoula Street
Railway company against the city of
Missoula, in which the plaintiff asked
IS, 507, the mount it cost to remove
its track at the request of the city.
The lower court found in favor of the
city, and this is affirmed. The city
was putting in sewer pipe, and it re-
qnested the car company to o its
tracks, a verbal agreement being made
that the city would pay the expenses.
The company moved the track, and
then the city refused to pay on the
ground that the verbal contract was
not binding. The reputation was
made by the following city admins
t%ration. which objected to the action
by its predecessor.
The other suit was from Park
county. and was entitled Monahan
against Allen. The plaintiff alleged
the defendant broke a contract in
yolving a land sale and sued for dam
ages. The lower court granted a mo-
ton for a non-suit and the judgment
is affirmed. The supreme court holds
that a paper, which was the basis of
the suit, was an option and not a
contract.

word about Mr.. Cohan's pet flag. Its
humor is bubbling all the time and at
proper intervals it bursts forth in JOY

anywhere else in the north the
chances favor Missoula. No official

the season at home they will train in
the north. That is another thing that

Concerning the park which is to be
all. The directors of
the baseball association
PARK haven't finally decided
Vet, but il is almost
certain that the old park will be used
for another season. The grounds there
are good and the accommodations,
while they are not all they might be,
are better han some Of the cities on
the circuit can boast. This park viii
probably be fixed up a bit and used
for another year. The local club is not
any too prosperous and concrete
stands are out OF the question for a
while. 1t is not probable tina the
street car company will extend lines,
either. The baseball club has not Il
long time lease on the grounds and
the street car people don't feel that
an extension of the line would be ius-
titled. The situation would DE i'm
proved q lot If IL gate could be Quilt
at the southwest corner of the park.
Purchasers of grandstand tickets could
enter there and save themselves a
long dusty walk around the park.
The fans aren't worrying much over
the park, though. They understand
the position in which the magnates
are placed ana will be willing to fill
the stands as long as Blank turns out
his scrappy cams

Well Bryan is very nice town of
a, 800 inhabitants and has two steam
roads and one electric road, one rail
road running from Chicago to New
York called M S. and L. s., this road
has four tracts from Chicago to
Toledo, Ohio; the other railroad from
Cincinnati to Jackson, Mich, and
there are eight factories here, crops
are fine; we have paved streets about
five miles. Well heard you had
dry town and country also. Vote it

rabbits and chickens of the prairie.

L have built two houses and have two
more to build. Well you will think
