DECISION IS IN
THE SUPREME COURT AFFIRMS
FINDING IN CASE OF STOKES
AGAINST LONG.

HELENA, July 4.-The supreme
court yesterday in an opinion written
by Chief Justice Brantly, affirmed the
Judgment Of the Fergus county court
in the suit of Frank Fl. Stokes against
DIR. w. A. Long. The suit was based
en- a charge of malpractice, the lower
court giving judgment for the plain
tiff for $500 Stokes had his leg
broken and DR.. Long was called in
to attend him. He called DR.. Wallin
to his assistance. the two performed
the operation and after the leg had
been pronounced all right, it was
found to be two inches shorter than
the other one, due to the fact that
narts of the bone had not been kept
in positions. but had been permitted
to slip by each other.
Long left Lewistown shortly after
the operation was performed and DIR.
Wallin had charge of the case and
the defendant held that DR.. Walln
was wholly responsible
1T is held" says the court, that
where two physicians are employed
on the same case and by agreement
divide the service as their best judg.
ment may dictate. they are considered
as independent agents. each being re-
sponsible for his own negligence and
no more.
IF however, one observes and lets
go on without objection wrongful
acts and omissions by the other, OF
if the circumstances are such that he
ought to have observed such wrongful
acts or omissions, he is liable. Fac!

'If one is guilty of want of ordinar,
professional care and skill in choos
ing the mode of treatment adopted
and the other expressly or implied,

apparent why the latter should no
be held guilty also. for by his ac

ANCE IN UNIFORM.
LEW|STOWN BOYS GET ATTENTION

The Lewistown boys are doing more
in Butte to put this city on the map
this week than any amount of print
ted advertising could have done Re-
ports brought home by Lewistown peo-
pie who were in Butte this week are
filled with pride and praise for the
trumpet corps Frank Clarke, who
returned yesterday, said that every
body had good word for the Lewis.
town delegation and that they were
all conducting themselves in highly
acceptable manner.
j. T.. Woodland, who spent Monday in
Butte, gave it as his opinion yes
terday that the appearance of the
Lewistown corps in their white suits
was easily the best of any of the
lodges represented. There were other
lodges there who looked very trim and
pleasing. but none of them could claim
the nattiness that distinguished the
local boys. Their trumpet music, too,
commanded attention, according to
Mr.. Woodard. At the cabaret, held
Monday night at the Thornton hotel,
the Boston & Montana band gave way
a time or two to the melodious har-
monies OF the trumpets, and on the
street they were quite the chief SEN
SatiOn.
A few of the delegates are expected
home today, but the special is sched-
uled to arrive with 1l5 on the Milwau-
kee Friday afternoon.
The Lewistown delegates have re-
ceived several "send-offs" in the Butte
press. The Miner of Tuesday paid
considerable attention to the secretary
of the local lodge, Leopold Beck and
yesterdays papers all gave the trum-
pet corps special mention. This must
have been fully merited, inasmuch as
the corps carried off the first prize
for the best appearance in uniform.
The Standard, in it's account of the
parade, said, in part:

ing Elks' lodges. the Lewistown lodge,
in the regulation Elks' uniform. and
led by the Lewistown Elks' bugle and
drum corps. In the latter were 18
pieces, while the lodge representation
was an additional n members. They
marched with soldierly precision and
made a hit all the way along the line"
The Miner said:
Elk delegations led by the Lew
istown trumpeters and the Lewistown
lodge comprised the next section of
the parade and made natty appear
ance in their white uniforms with
purple Trimmings

W|NNETT GETS
4 NEW SERVICE.

WASHINGTON, July 4-The post
office department has announced the
establishment of star mail route
service from Winnett to Grass Range
to supersede the present supply of
the Winnett office Orders have been
issued for the inauguration Of this
service, which will be six times a
week, on July 10. The pOstoffice at
Teigen will also be served by the new
route.
This announcement will be received
with pleasure not only by the people
of the whole Winnett section, but by
the business houses of this city and
on down to Grass Range. Under the
present arrangement it requires three
days for a letter from Lewistown to
reach Winnett, and this slow transit
is decided drawback to business.
The six days week service is to
be inaugurated next Monday and there
after Winnett will feel that 1t has
been brought in closer connection with
the outside world.
