4 NOVEL SCHEME B. ZUTTE COLLOBTION AGENCY KNOWS ITB BUSINESS. CAN SCARE A TENDERFOOT ilanks Resembling Real Legal Sum monses Filled in and Sent to Delinquents-Put Up or Be Shut Up. A collection agency in Butte has adopted a novel scheme for frightening delinquents Into paying their hills, and justices of the pence, whose business the scheme affects, are putting up a vigorous protest against the propositlon, as It is knocking their civil business into bits. The collection company has hal print pd a lot of blanks resembling legal summonses. Each of these blanks is adorned with almost everything in the way of an inducement to the one re ceiving it to pay up, the suggestive skull and cross bones being the only insignia of the profession that it does not contain. The sheets are the exact size of the regular justice court summons and the pages are ruled the same. When doubled up one page of the outside shows the Word "Summons" in large hltters. Then there are two blank lines, a "versus" and two more blank lines with two inches of blank space for remarks. The Lnttom contains the follow:ng In scription: "This claim In now in the bands of the - - cnompany, Butte. Mont., to whom all communications should be sent and all remittances made." The Inside of the blank is not slow. In one of the upper corners is the word "Summons," which stands out in such bold relief that a tenderfoot, or one not accustomed to running against legal proceedings, might, on recelving one of the blanks, have a tit at the pros.lct of b elng locked up in the collection agency's private penitentilary. Looks Like the Real Thing. Attached to the word "Hummons," but In much smaller type, are the worls "'before suit." Another corner of the blank contains the bracketed Iphrase, "State of Montana, ('ounty of Silver Bow, sm.," which looms up like the of ficial seal of a d,.tath warrant. Hlere is the body of the blank with the insertion of names, datets ailnd am11un111t to suit the occasion and make its intent more clearly understood: "Butte, Montana, February 19, 1902 "To John Smith, defendant. "There Is now due for value receli e(d from you to Peter Jones of Oshkosh the sum of $2.40, and we hereby demand of you payment of said sum so due, andt if default Is made in such payment after receipt of this notice, we may elect to commence suit for the recovery of said sum and for attorney's fee its iilovcided by statute.

The practice of the law is of all sorts Of tints, hues and colors; law is prac- a tical in multiform ways, and the legal fraternity rejolces in Interpreters of law that are full of answering methods. One such interpreter gave the spectators a jolt In the district court this morning by his Interesting notion of practice. lie was the lawyer for the plaintiff, and when 12 men were called into the 3 box to qualify as jurors It was incum bent upon him to inquire into their minds, and he proceeded to do so. In order to establish a basis for such work It is a custom among most practitioners to make a statement to the jury of the names of the litigants and their legal woes. But this interpreter dispensed with the statement, and asked the first juror what his name was. "James t'asqy," said the man. Then the legal gentleman asked c'asey if he knew anything about the merits of the ease or the names of the litigants. Not having received any Information concerning those things the juror very innocently and truthfully replied that he did not. At that, the Intelligent prac titioner turned to the court and said: "We challenge the juror for cause. You're excused, Mr. ('asey." Doubtless the court was surprised. However, It did not take the situation too much to heart. The judge silmply said: "No, no: you can't do that. I think you'd better start over again and tell the gentleman in the jury box the names of the litigants and what the suit is about." That was a reversal of the. forensic gentleman's practice, but he had to sub mit to it and go away back and start again, while his fellow attorneys grinned like a choice assortment of fried chilm panzees.

MAY FORSAKE HOBART SITE Trustee White Favors West Park Street-- ther .rustees Opposed to It-Mr. Clinton Favors District Carrying Own Insuranced. The school trustees were engaged at their meeting last evening in the discus slon of two important matters-the se lection of a site for a new school on the West Side to replace the burned Hobart school, and the matter of increasing the insurance on the Cobban school or the cancellation of all policies on school property. A short time ago the board decided to begin condemnation proceedings to get possession of a larger site of ground at the spot where the burned school stood. At last night's meeting Trustee White intlroiduced a new feature into the mat ter of selecting a site by advocating the purchase of a site elsewhere than where the school stood formerly. White Advocated Broadway Site. Mr. White stated that options had been secured on a site fronting on Park street, west of Excelsior alley, and upon another immediately north of it, fronting on Broadway. The first-named site could be bought for $6,070, from P. It. Dahlman, and the second coutl be purchased for the surn of $7.200. Mr. White had reclved a letter from 3. H. Fariss & Brother relative to the sites, and said that the option upon one of them would run out on February 24. He was of the opinion that the Park street site was the better if the two, and advocated immediate action In its purchuse. AlthOggh the site would cost more than the one previously considered, he was of the opinion that the board ought to buy it. Mr. Moulthrop was opposed to such ac tion. Hie could see no advantage In the new sites and was against buying them. Mr. .Weilrlck thought that every resi dent of West Park street would object to the location of the school at the Park Streelt bile. Mr. Mueller favored taking time to iiilislder the matter further, no that all the trustees might Investigate the sites for themselves. Action upon the matter was finally de ferred till Thursday evening, when it will le brought tip again. Clinton Opposed to Insurance. When the matter of the insurance on the ('ibban school came up, Mr. White statled to the board that the Insurance on the building at present is $5,000, and that the building cost $7,300. He advo cated increasing the Insurance to 80 per cent of the value of the building. Mr. Clinton opposeid this course, aRo; adlvised the board to withdraw all it3 prloperty from the insurance companies and carry its own insurance. He said that insurance had cost the dllstrelt' $7,000 a year In premiums since he has been a schol(, trust.(., or a total sum of $25,000 or $30,000. This matter was ri'ferred to the build ing committee. ''he co.st by fires has beenl only about $2,000. Jones' dairy farm. Pure pork sausage at Brophy's.

It was shown that White had suffered froim heart trouble and the verdict was that death was due to natural causes. White has no relatives that are known and the body will most likely be buried at the expense of the county. DE BURY IS BINKING. Young Man Who Shot Himself Is Now Anxious to Live.

IDelury has been at the hospital ever sinc'e the evening he shot himself and the surgeons have been working against great odds to save his life. It is under stood now that the efforts are likely to prove unsuccessful on account of com plicatlons and his death may result at any time.
