LISBON EXCITED. FOUR THOUSAND MERCHANTS IN PARADE. They Shoot War With England--Nelly Bly Lands at San Francison on Her Homeward Trip. LISBON, Jan. 22.-Four thousand mer chants of this city paraded the streets last Monday night shouting "War to Eng land." SALE OF COAL LAND. E. R. Ollngn Sealls His Belt Creek Clsaim -The Montana Smelting Company Propably the Purchaser. Wednesday E. R. Clingan, of Belt, sold his coal claim,receiving for his relinquish ment alone (the claim has not been prov ed up on) $2,500. Mr. C. also reserves several acres that lie in the bottom ad joining the new town of Armington. Chas. G. Griffth negotiated the deal and as he is purchasing agent for the Montana Smelting company, the in ference is natural that the claim is secur ed for that company. This is supposed to be a very valuable mine and so far as developed there is no better coal showing in north Montana. DISTRICT COURT BUSINESS. [From Wedesday's Daily.] In the district court today C. F. Doying was admitted by Judge Benton to prac tice at the Montana bar, his certificate being found satisfactory. The following business was done: No. 102-Ellis ve Quail, replication filed. No. 185-Jackson vs Downing, motion and affidavit for continuance. No. 153--Holter Lumber Co vs Lennon, demurrer filed In the case of Black vs Thomas Gahag an the following jury was empanelled: W S Wetzel, W I Hickory, D R Mitchell, J Thornton, B Rumney, JWolfe, Milton Henderson, R Vaughn, M Luther, H H Higgins, CT Wernecke, T Morrow. In this suit Mr. Black sues for $800. He alleges that Mr. Gahagan hired two horses and a buggy from him on Novem ber 6 to g3 to Belt. He asserts that Mr. Gahagan drove the horses so hard that one of them died on his way back and that the other suffered so much in jury as to cause Mr. Black a loss of $100. Mr. Leslie appeared for the plaintiff and Lewis & 'aylor for the defendant. In the forenoon Mr. Black testified After the noon recess he was cross-examined. The case for the plaintiff occupied the court up to a late hour this afternoon. It is understood that the defense will be that the horses were not in good condi tion when hired. [Froma Thbudar'e Daily.] In Judge Benton's court today, the case of Black vs. Gahagan was still in progress. Mr. Gahagan was cross-exam ined by Mr. Leslie. His testimony was to the effect that he had driven the horses slowly and that they were not in good condition when he received them. Mr. Taylor objected to some questions and discussion followed. The public interest in the suit appears to be Increasing. The number of people in court is much larger than heretofore. Mr. Cockrill has all his records in good shape and is conducting his department with satisfaction to lawyers and clients. Col. McCutcheon looked in for a mo ment today and withdrew. It was sup posed that he was Inquest of a mandamus for the benefit of the Silver Bow five. The colonel is convinced that the supreme court will bow to the decision already rendered by himself, the Helena Herald and the Silver Bow five. Ben Itumney is a prominent figure on the Black-Gahagan jury. Ben's jolly face contrasts with that of others, who seem tired. The stenographic work is done by Mr. Bishop, who came here from Minnesota. His ccuracy is often tested in repeating questions and Is found unimpeachable. Why are there so many inquiries about the divorce suits? IDo the bachelors hope to begin suits in the court of hy men? It is not often that four or five married women are declared free to make new contracts. There is no lack of people to certify to the good reputation of the applicants. This practice, intro duced by Judge Bach would astound the Chicago courts where divorces are given without much formality. What a difference there is between the wedding and the divorcel There all is harmony and congratulation. In court the contestants, glare at each other; the lawyers state the case dryly; the judge gives his decision and the two who made such solem pledges leave the court to tread apart the highway of life. No tears, no orange blossoms, no felicitations! LATER.-In the case of Black vs. Ga hagan, the jury have given the plaintiff a verdict for $200. Col. MlcCutcheon is being heard in the suit of Spencer vs. Montana Central rail road. CASUALLY REHARKED. J. C. Johnson-W. M. Lollis is the first member of our order (A. O. U.

SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS TO THOSE WHO DESIRE TO BUILD IMMIEDIATELY excellent white and red sand stone of this vicinity. Benj. Rumney-Stockmen have good reason to rejoice and be exceedingly glad. The winter has been a very favor able one and to this time there has been absolutely no loss of stock. The back bone of winter is now broken and there is no danger to be feared. Considering the short range, had the winter been a severe one, like that of 1880-81 or 1886-7, the loss would have been tremendous, about the next thing to extermination of the large herds. Judge Douglas-I knew X. lteidler in 1864-62 at Virginia City. He was abrave, resolute man-just the man for the time. He had the full confidence of the vigil antes and did effective work for them in riddig the country of road agents. It was said that he penned an account of the vigilance committee and his work,but if he did the book has never been pub lished and is doubtless incomplete. Bold ler was liked by old-tieers, who often invited him to talk of by gone days over a hot whiskey. Wm. Ulm, of Ulm, who has been in Cascade county more than 10 years There is no question but what good crops can be raised on the bench lands any where in this country three years out of every four. Some times the lack of rain will cause a failure of crops, but this is not uncommon in other states. In 1888 we sowed 15 acres of wheat that grew very tall and was as nice a looking field as can be shown by any country. We could get no machine so we did not thresh it. Last year we sowed the same field, but had no rain after the grain was in the ground and the crop was a failure. But last year was the dryest ever known in Montana. John Largent-Yes, this is my first visit to Great Falls. I was drawn on the jury and had to come; guess it was a scheme put up on me. I find Great Falls is quite a city. I am taking it in gradually as I get time. I hope court will last long enough to allow me to "do" it in good style. I find it rather pleasant to be here. The Park hotel with its steam heat, electric call system, electric light, fire alarm and all other modern fandangoes, is a very comfortable place to put up at. I have been greeted kind ly by everybody and think I will come oftener and stay longer hereafter. What do I think of Great Falls? Well, guess it doesn't make anydifference. The harder I kicked against it in the past the faster it grew and I imagine it is going to keep right on growing. You might as well try to dam up the Missouri river as to check the growth and greatness of this town. SPRAY OF THE FALLS. fFrom Wednesdan's Dail.1 A. Swerdfeger. a prominent citizen of Belt, was in the city yesterday. Another detachment of men arrived this morning looking for work. Mr. A. G. Hay of Grafton went down to Benton on business this afternoon. Frank Oscarson, Jno. Erickson, J. L. McNally and Jas. Seargent, all of Malden, are at the Milwaukee house. Joe Steiner has recovered from la grippe and has again opened the Acme restaurant where be will be glad to welcome the public. Pat Noctor has purchased Frank An germeir's express wagon and horse and is prepared to transfer passengers or bag gage to any part of the city or to the melter. Postmaster Taylor has invented a de vice for telling when trains are on time or otherwise. The figure of a handsome woman points to words, "on time," or 'late," as the case may be. Judge T. W. Murphy has moved from Cascadedown tothe metropolis and will establish a law office here as soon as he can find a room. Mr. Murphy is an old timeranda thorough student. He is a young man, and gives promise of a bril liant future. John Largent with a party of Sun River citizens went down to look at the big smelter this afternoon. John proposes to "take in" everything there is In and about the city and to make himself thoroughly familiar with Great Falls and surroundings. C. F. Doytng was admitted to the Mon tana bar today by Judge Benton. Mr. Doying practiced law for two years in the courts of Michigan, being located at Detroit. He came to Great Falls in Oc tober last, attricted by reports of our great natural resources, and after thoroughly investigating has cast his lot with our city. He has firm faith in the future of Great Falls and we predict for him a prosperous career here. In Helena Mr. Lamble, the real estate agent, spoke as follows, according to the Journal: "We have devoted the week mostly to Great Falls sales; they have been satisfactory. I believe the spring is going to open up lively. One great object the board of trade should keep in view is the entertainment of visitors. Take the history of Mlinneapolis since 1880 iand it will be foIund that the board there entertained everybody-no mnatter whether they caime singly, in tens, or In hundreds. If we entertain our visitors we are bound to make a good impression. Not long ago a party of 20 solid men of Minnesota came out here as tihe guests of the Montana Central. They remained in Itelena two dlays and no one out-isle of railwny oitcials paid the slightest attention to them; they went to Butte and Great Falls, and the business men of both places took them around and showed them everything to be seen. As a result their opinion of Helena is not very high while they Ihve a high regard for the business mIen of the two other places even if they do not admire the towns as much as they (it this city. I tell you ntertalinment is the hey to the succorssful inducements of capital and solid omen to come here and try invest ments. When they' once invest they are alsays satisfied, but a man will not put his tmon-y among unhospitable people if he can help it." 240 Acren Land for Sale.
