IN MINNIE HEUET CASE
tfudge Harney Says the Notary Has No
Authority to Compel Him to Testify
After a Case Has Been Decided—
Committed Witnesses Released
From Custody Pending
the Hearing.
The second act in the sensational pro
ceedings which took place in room 501
of the Henessy block yesterday during
the attempt of J. C. Galbraith, a notary,
to take the deposition of Judge E. \Y.
Harney of the district court, Harry M.
Heimerdinger, his clerk; W. J. Rowe, the
court bailiff; John G. Noble, the stenog
rapher, and Ada H. Brackett in support
of a motion for a new trial in the suit
brought by Miles Finlen against F. Au
gustus Heinze and others to determine
title to the Minnie Healey mine, was pre
sented in Judge McClernan's court this
morning, but it did not last long. The
third act will not come up until the
30th, on which date the record of the no
tary in the case will probably be review
ed by the court. Three petitions for the
writs were filed In court last night and
the judge decided to hear them on the
SDth.
About 4:30 o'clock yesterday, after all
of those named, save Mr. Noble, had re
fused to be sworn by the notary and
were ordered committed to the custody of
the sheriff by the notary, petitions for
writs of habeas corpus were filed in court
by Judge Harney, Messrs. Heimerdinger
and Rowe and Mrs. Brackett and they
were set for hearing by Judge MeCler
nan at 10 o'clock today. All of the pe
titions except that of Judge Harney were
of the same tenor, alleging that the pe
IMPERSONA TING A N OFFICER
Serious Charge Placed Against a Man
Whom It Is Said Pretended to Be
the County Attorney.
John Blackwell made his debut in po
lice circles this morning on the serious
charge of impersonating an officer of the
law. Blackwell pleaded not guilty. His
case was set for hearing at 3 o'clock
next Friday.
Blackwell appeared in the half world
district last evening and made a propo
sition to two demimondes to the effect
that he would, for the consideration of
$109, secure the dismissal of the cases
against them in which they are charged
with having robbed two visitors to their
house of about $250 some nights ago.
Blackwell it is claimed made pretensions
of being County Attorney Breen and as
sured the women that the cases against
them were serious and the cheapest way
out, was his way. The women refused
to listen to the propostiton and had the
matter reported to detective Murphy,
who located and escorted Blackwell to
jail.
John Strongback, Mathew Johnson
and John Wester may be expert account
ants, but they figured wrong this morn
ing when Judge Boyle asked them if they
were willing to pay the damages done a
horse they were convicted of abusing a
few days ago. The court took the matter
under advisement at yesterday's session
and when they appeared for sentence this
morning informed the defendants that
the owner of the horse abused was will
ing to settle for $25. The three men de
clined to pay that amount so Judge Boyle
fined each of them $15.
John Smith, William Stevens and Jos
eph Hall pleaded guilty to a charge of
drunkenness and were fined $5 each.
Martin Doreghty, another disturebr put
up $10 and Thomas Board also on
the carpet for becoming ungentlemanly
and obstreperous at the intersection of
Mercury and Galena streets pleaded
guilty. The court took his case under ad
visement until his honor could confer
with the policeman who had caused the
bad appearance of the young man.
A bandage zig-zagged across the
disturebr's head and the blood having
saturated the cloth it greatly resembled
a slightly cooked beefsteak. Edward
Taber declined to abide by the charges
made against him and pleaded not guilty.
A hearing will be given the young man
at 3 o'clock next Tuesday whei ** will
have the opportunity of relating s
and wherefores of an allege# MW*lt
near the corner of Galena and Wyoming
streets on H. Love. _

titioners had refused to be sweirn by thfe
notary and had been committed to the
county jail by him for conteifipt. Their
refusal to be sworn they allege In their
petitions, was because they believed the
notary had no authority or jurisdiction
to compel them to give testimony in
such a case.
Judge Harney says In his petition that
he cannot be compelled to testify, as the
Minnie Healey case has been decided.
When the habeas corpus matter was
called today Attorney Roote, Represent
ing the four petitioners, asked for a
continuance until the 30th, saying that
on that date petitions for writs of review
would be heard and it would be best to
have the whole matter decided at once.
To this he added that Judge Harney was
the only one who had not asked for a
review of the notary proceedings.
The request for a postponement was
opposed by T. J. Walsh, but the judge
granted it and released the foltr prison
ers on their own recognizance.
In the meantime no further attempt to
take the depositions of the fofir will be
made, as the applications act as a stay
of proceedings so far as thy are con
cerned.
Further proceedings in the matter of
taking depositions to be used in sup
port of a motion for a new trial in the
Minnie Healey mine suit have been con
tinued until the 31st by Notary Galbraith
on account of the habeas corpus aud writ
of review hearings to be held the 30th.
The notary was to have resumed business
at 2 o'clock this afternoon, but Attorney

the plaintiff, in the case, suggested a
postponement until the date Stated.
road, is in Butte today on one of his not
very frequent visits in the interest of his
road. Just now he is especially inter
ested in Montana wool, a great part of
the product from the country around
Dillon and Red Rock going over the
Illinois Central.
"There is a much larger crop of wool
in southern Montana this year than last,
and in addition, about all that was
stored over the winter waiting for better
prices, is now going onto the market.
There will be probably not less than
1,300,000 pounds marketed at Dillon, and
perhaps more. The quality is good, the
price satisfactory, and the greater part
has been already sold. The southern
wool is not bringing quite so good prices
as it does at Great Falls or Billings,
partly because of being further from
market, partly because of quality.
"There is scarcely a pound of wool left
on the great sheep raising ranges of
Utah and Idaho. Last year, at this
time, not more than 35 per cent had been
marketed. The prices of the alkali land
wool are much lower than in Montana,
from 9 to 11 cents being the average.
The staple is shorter, and more brittle,
though if the product were marketed
from some other locality there should
not be the difference in price. The Utah
and Idaho clip was very large.
"At Salt Lake the people have been
well victimized by fake railroad schemes
in the past, and some were skeptical
over the Clark road to Los Angeles.
But now everybody believes It is an as
sured thing. Of course, the Short Line
will go, and it Is firmly believed that the
other line will go too. It will be a great
thing for the western country.
"All the western roads, as well as the
eastern, are making big money this
year. Passenger and freight traffic is
phenomenal all over the country. Our
own line la prospering even better than
the average. One-fourth »ff the cotton
raised in the United States is tributary
to our Memphis line. The great yellow
pine districts of Alabama, Mississippi
and the other southern states are ship
ping millions of feet of lumber to the
north. We are double-tracking the line
from Chicago to Cairo, 365 miles. MMth
this year our great coal fields In Ala
bama, which have been worked In per
functory way for ten years, are being
opened up to their fullest capacity, and
we shall soon supply tne whole gulf
country with coal. "Within the past year
we have interested more northern and
eastern capital in southern enterprises—
mines, manufacturers, lumber and cot
ton and agriculture—than In the 15 years
previous. It is a real new south in
every sense of the word, and will be one
of the greatest sections of our country.

OLD VETS ROUTED THE
BOYS LAST EVENING
AT THE SHAM BATTLE
COL. P. H. MANCHESTER,
Who Led th e Old Guard.
The American arms again triumphed
over the Filipinos at the Gardens last
night, when the Grand Army veterans
demolished the Spanish-American sol
diers, who took the part of the natives.
The old men, with their antiquated mug
zle-loaders, powder horns, and shot
pouches, or the old fashioned paper cart
ridges that one had to bite off before
ramming them down into the weapon,
captured the natives, horse, foot and dra
goons, took them prisoners along with
their flag, and drove them into camp at
their chariot wheels. The boys were
armed with breech-loaders, the same
trusty old Springfields that were their
bosom companions for a year and a half,
but they were no match for the stout old
men who marched at Antietam, Fred
ericksburg and the wilderness.
P. H. Manchester was commander of
the veterans, and had for his lieutenant
A. L.' Farnham. The Filipinos were com
manded by Lieutenant Colin Hill. Up
wards of a hundred men took part in
all, and a fusillade of popping took place
before the battle was ended.
There were no bullets flying, as it
was not so bloody as. it might have been,
but It was noisy enough to make up for
all that. The way the old veterans
mlnipulated their muskets was a revela
tion to some of the later comers who
thought all the military genius was a
product of late days. They fairly burn
ed the air as they fired deadly volleys
into the ranks of their pseudo dusky
assailants.
The battlefield was laid on the side
hill north of the gardens. There were
two forts, on crests of the hill, both
of them occupied by veterans. The bold
Filipinos charged the first, and drove
the defenders in retreat, with great loss
o" powder and smoke on both sides. Then
the veterans rallied. They executed a
flank move on the Filipinos; also, in
cidentally, they executed the Filipinos
themselves. They made a brilliant bay
onet charge on the enemy, who were
KING FO UND THE HOT PLACE
On the Way From Scorching San
Francisco to Balmy Butte It Was
Very, Very Sultry.
John B. King has returned from his
visit to San Francisco, and will once
more resume his management of the
suaeer track.
"You never saw anything like the hot
weather that has prevailed down south,"
he said. "On our train through the Ne
vada desert the thermometer registered
104 degrees at the coolest place one could
find inside the car. It was like a sec
tion of the Inferno. If you opened the
windows, the dazzling glare of the des
ert sand scorched you almost like
flame. If you didn't open the windows
you sweltered and smoothered. The
passengers stripped down to the last
shred of decency in a vain endeavor to
keep reasonably cool. The sand sifted
in like sunlight, and covered everything.
The cars seemed to shrivel up with the
heat, and the paint fairly boiled. Yçp,
it was hot weather—the hottest they
have record of, even in that hot coun
try."
WERE PUT IN THE SWEAT BOX
Two Suspects Taken to Jail by Officers
Who Believe They Have Located .
Crooks. ,,
Detective Murphy took into his net
yesterday evening George Kennedy arid
James McCount and placed charges of
vagrancy against them. Both pleaded
guilty this morning and will be senten
ced tomorrow.
Kennedy had a severely bruised nose
and a bad eye.
The big detective believes he has a
pair of bad men in these two suspecta
and will have photographs taken in or
der to locate, if possible, where they hail
from.
The men claim to be in Butte with
race horses and made several state
ments when put Into the sweat-box at
the city jail which were afterwards
proven to be erroneous. A number of
people in the city appeared at the office
of the chief of police in behalf of Ken
massed in a little hollow between the
forts. Then the battle raged hot and
fast. The natives could not escape
without flying into the air, or tunneling,
for the masterly strategy of the
veterans had them surrounded on
every side. They fought like grim
death, but somehow their shots
seemed to have no effect on their assail
ants. Like dragoon's teeth, the slain
came to iife to haunt them with rusty old
muskets, jagged bayonets, and gleaming
eyes. Finally their Hag was captured.
The:e was a triumphant salvo of the ar
tillery carried, by the attacking party;
the frantic Filipinos gave up hope, their
arms and the battle, and trudged back
to camp prisoners. They couldn't fight
against destiny, against the genius of the
old guard. They recognized their victors
und gave up, so as to be in all the sooner
at the grand dinner.
The dinner after the battle was an en
joyable affair, all the warriors and all
their friends taking part. In fact, they
took not only part, but all, and it was all
the cooks could do to rescue the dishes.
It was a late hour before the feast was
completed.
The fireworks display came near end
ing in disaster. W. H. Blick was de
tailed to do the firing, a.'nd he attempted
to touch off a few of the pieces with i
cigar, there being no lighting punk, and
the wind being too high for the use of
matches. The first cannon cracker went '
off just as he touched It, and came near
taking his right hand along With it. Mr.
Black, who had gone out expecting to bo
one of the men behind the gun, objected
to being the man behind an unruly fire
cVacker, and gave up the job to some '
man whose life was not so valuable to
Kim. After several tribulations the fire

Some of the lodgers In the Curtis block
on Park street have adopted a novel,
but somewhat revengeful method of pro
curing sleep during the hot sultry sum
mer nights when many prefer to roam
about regardless of whether or not they
disturb their fellowman, in their roam
ing.
For a number of weeks a gang of
rather shady characters have congre
gated about the rear of the restaurants
on Main street and there hold high rev
elry. A good sized can is always on
hand and the coin is Hipped in order to
determine who rushes the growler.
When the amber beer secured near by
appears it is time for the fun, for the
crowd, at least, to commence. Open air
concerts, rag time dances and up-to
date cake walks are indulged in and the
evening's performance closed with a lec
ture by the leader of the "Knights of
Never Toil." As a substitute for the
lecture, very frequently a free fight is
engaged in, in which everyone gets the
worst of the affair and particularly' the
roomers of the adjoining lodging houses.
These meetings of Butte's leisure class
have become so frequent of late that a
mass meeting of those who reside at the
Curtis block was ht Id a few nights ago
and a committee of one appointed to car

The committee played a waiting game,
and last night she was happy in the
thought that her vigils had been reward

MARKET FO R IRRIGA TED LANDS
Lands Have Increased Twenty-five
Per Cent During the East
Four Years.
"Irrigated lands in the Gallatin valley
have increased in value at least 25 per
cent within four years," said R. D.
Steele of Bozeman, a well-known reel
estate dealer and grand chancellor of
the Knights of Pythias of Montana.
"Good farms near town now sell at $10
to $50 per acre, and are bargains at that
In the ten years I have been selling real
estate there there has never been so
great a demand for farm lands. Good
farms four or live miles from town with
good water rights, are worth $30 per
acre, and steadily going up.
"There is scarce a bucket of water
goes to waste in the GallJUn valley in
the irrigating season. All the small
tributaries are appropriated twice over,
and the Gallatin is so low as to be
forded at Us mouth by a child. The
great new canal of the West Gallatin
Irrigation company, carrying 25,000
inches of water, has cut Into the supply
very greatly this year. Indeed, some of
the lower ranchers are shut off almost
entirely, though they had prior rights
to the water. The company goes far
then up and gets the water.
"There Is enough water in the Gallatin
valley to supply the needs of all, If it
against the needs of The two or three
' months of irrigation, m the canyons of
all its streams, where the waters have
their source amid its rocks and pines,
there are great natural sites for storage
reservoirs, where the waters could be
saved for the time of need. Up the Gal
' latin? there is one place where the
waters rush through between frowning
granite walls that would be the finest
imaginable abutments for a storage
dam. Middle creek, which supplies
i wat»r for thousands of acres of fertile
\ land, could be darned up at any one of
a dozen places In its magnificent cany
ons, perhaps the most beautiful of any
in the state, save the Yellowstone, and
its usefulness doubled.
"The time is coming when it will be
found absolutely necessary for state or
corporation enterprise to take hold of
this problem. As the population In
creases, every part of available land
must be utilized, and it must have
water or be almost valueless. Some wise
and far-seeing legislator can immortal
ize himself by bringing the government
to the aid of the great problem. It
seems like one of the functions of the
national government to take charge of
an enterprise that so vitally affects so
many people as the water supply for
their homes and fields."

were In their turn thrown out upon the
quiet, peaceful open air.
The committee had taken some few
moments to prepare her onslaught and
wh n she had completed the operations
a good sized bucket of water was poised
in mid air and turned loose upon the
supposed meeting below.
For an instant there was grave silence
and then the stillness was rent by the
piercing, angry cream of a woman. Alt
kinds of expressions came and the neigh
borhood knew that the attack upon the
night prowlers had been made. For a
few moments peace reign d. The front
door of the Curtis lodging house was
thrown open. In the entrance appeared
a woman with disheveled hair and drip
ping dress, while from head to foot were
appearances that she had fallen into a
grease vat. The stranger was too excited
to tell her troubles to the servant who
answered her ring. Investigation brought
out the facts, however, that in the alley
where the committee of one supposed the
gang was holding their regular meeting,
a woman and her companion had entered
a dispute as to whether they should go
into Lemp's wine rooms or the res
taurant next door. The woman refused
to give In and so did her escort. Argu
ments followed and the woman got some
what excited. Her talk sounded boister
ous to the determined committee, and she
being the center of attraction at the time
of tlrt* attack the full contents of the
bucket struck her silks and satins.
The woman refused to be pacified and
reported the matter to the police, but
their being another complaint to that de
partment about the jacket which had
been made in the alley she was informed
that she and her companion escaped very
easily In the matter.
