NOT FOR HEINZE.
Democrats of "Yellowtone Will Re.
mrjn Loyal to Clark.
From Saturday's Daily Gazette.
Thd democrats throughout the couin
ty will have selected their delegates
to attend a county convention with
in the next few hours and it is safte
to say that any attempt .to commit
the party to the Heinze side of the
controversy in the state will meet
with bitter opposition in the conven
tion a week hence. On the contrary,
the convention will most heartily en
dorse the work of Senator Clark at
Washington and a delegation will be
selected to go to the state conven
tion at Bozeman that will Be in the
main friendly to the ipterests of the
.Butte gentleman who at this titie
is obliged to enter the arena and ac
cept the challenge issued by Mr.
Heinze.
;Simmered down there are but few
outspoken democrats in the 'county
who are boosting for the man whose
principal business is with the courts
of the state, and whose ambition ap
pears to enlarge his" usefulness in
that direction. On the other' hand
SenatOr Clark has been ,such an Iidol
with the democrats of the county
tht ' it would took like 'a 'uip lete,
sellout should 'any particular effort
be made- o the part of a considerable
number,,of'',the democrats of the- cgun
~y to deliver the parts here tq Ieisze,
the man *ho but six weeks ago"'an
nounced his allegiance to the state
democracy.
Mr. Helhlze has had his agents all
over the eastern part of the state dur
ing the gast weelk That gentleman
was represented in the city a few
days ago by a Mr. Jones, who stump
ed the state in company with Govern
or Toole in the campaign two years
ago. Jones appeared to be well sup
plied with money, but as far as it is
known left very little of his roll in
the county with which to convert the
democracy to the Heinze faith. He
evidently soon became convinced that
the party here as a whole is of the
opinion that Mr. Heinze has not been
on probation a sufficient length of
time to allow him to become its chief
and sole dictator in the state.

CLAIM 8TILL ANOTHER.
Ryan Bros. Sue for One More Race
Horse.
Long Bear, the horse' that won
nearly all of the Indian races at the
fair, was attached by Ryan Bros., this
mqrning on a complaint filed in Jus
tice Fraser's court.
The complaint allegs that the plain
tiffs own and are entitled to the pos
session of the animal, having been
wrongfully deprived of the same. The
horse has been in the hands of the
Indians several months. He is a hand
some animal and has a strong strain
of thoroughbred blood, in his veins,
being a close relative to Nanon, or
Rose Glen, as she is also known, the
running mare that.took the best mona
ey out of the races this week, and
which Ryan Bros. ;caused an attach
ment to be issued for the first of the
week. Stewart PoME, who now has
possesion of Nanon, or did before the
attachment was served, states that
he traded another horse to a foreman
employed by -Ryan .Bros, for Nanon
and that after he had developed hei'
fine racing qualities the former own
ers wanted her very bad and allege
that the man in question had no au
thority to make the trade, and that
yet the trade was slowed to stand un
til the mare became valuable under
Polk's management. Horsemen will
watch the progress of the suit with
much interest.

INGS TELEPHONa Ol
CAUSE OF TH -D JTy
Plaintiff Alleges That in Biin His
Line Defendant .Intertes
With Its Servie- ·
From Saturday's Daiy G ;set;",
The frst open rupture b ite the
old telephone company a ,a nthenew
occurred today, whenhfi n
tioned appealed to the 4itt 'ai.yt:"court
for an enjoining orde.. d.irected
against its rival, in which it .asuc
cessful.
The title of the action is the "iill
ings Telephone, company . V.. L.
Moffett and E. M. iungerford and the
case ~Was instituted for the :ip,.pose
of estopping the defendants 'froi' in
terfering Wtitlt the service an system
of the plaintiff.
In its prayer. the plaintiff ahieges
that October 3, 1894, the city of Bill
ings, through its mayor and city goun
cil, granted to B. M. .tiunkerfo 4 a
15-year: franchise for the construc
tion and maintenance of "a local tele
phone' system within- the corporate
limits of the city, appendint thli eto
being the customary privilege of` erect
ing poles and stringing wires in any
of the public streets; alleys' and ave
niues; that he did so -onstrfict' and
maintain such system and subse 'ient>
ly, but prior to the commendbdeit of
the present action, sold his rights and
plant to the plaintiff. Continuing
the complaint sets out thaE Juiy 15,
1902, the city council- of Billings adopt
ed an ordinance granting to ': L.
Moffett a franchise for constructing
and operating a local telephbhe ex
change;, that such ordinance was ap
proved July 21, 1902, anid that in ac
cordance with its provisions Moffett,
during the lItter part of last August
began to construct his9 system; that
during the past five or six days im
mediately preceding the institution
of the action his agents carelessly
and negligently carried on the work
of construction and allowed. large
numbers of wires they were stringing
to lie upon and across the wires and
lines of the plaintiff, thereby greatly'
dimaging antl interfering with the
plaintiff's "system and prevents it
from giving to its 6ubecribei`s the ef
ficient service to which they are en
titled.
Is. Beyond Compensation.
The complaint further alleges that
the plaintiff has repeatedly requested
the agents to cease such interference.
but that they have paid no heed to'
such requests and still continue their
interference. No pecuniary damage
would be adequate compensation to
the plaintiff for the interference, and
that it would be impossible to esti-!
mate the damage the plaintiff has al
ready, sustained and will suffer un-i
less the defendants are restrained
from further interference. Becatme
of the poor and unsatisfactory service,
says the complaint, they are receiv
ing owing to the interference of the
defendants, plaintiff's subscribers hre'
holding it responsible and will pot
and cannot be informed that the
same was caused by the careless and
negligent acts of the agents ofthe
defendants.
L. L, Moffett is out of the city a
great portion of the time, the conm.
plaint continues to allege, and .ii, M.
Hungerford is superintendent ,apid
foreman of construction and has full
charge of the work which Moffetti~ s
.doing. .
For the reasons set forth the coni
plaint, deminds judgment against ihe.
defendants, their associates, co n-.i
selors, attornieys, solicitors, agents,. d1
rectors,' servants and employes ad
all, persons acting for them and tba*

court restraining them from gpl~ .
any wire or, wires or other met eI
substance in contact with any ;
wires, lines or leads of the plai'!
and from in any way interfering
the conduct and management ofk s
system and exchange during i
pendency of the action. As a fu1
prayer the plaintiff asks that th .
junction be made permanent.

"is a great thing, "and is largely at

S.Mr. Robbini was in the city yestel
day, says thee Ifiigus Coupty Argus.
and stated that his labors so far had;
not been attended with much success,
for although there. were .plenty ' of
small reservoir sites, yet.=the larger,
ones, which could be. used by the 'go.
ernm~ nt for the .purpose of irrigatio~ '
on ,a libleral pl, were scarce. '
"It is not the object of the govern
me t to interfere with any reservoir
site whichK can be maniplated by
private enterprise, it is only:.the larg
er sites that it cares .to conrol,"' said
Mr. Robbiins, "and 'the money apbpro
prinated fof 'national irrigation -1fijl
naturally be applied 'to,governiment
laUds from which the quickest and
largest profits can be realized. It
is very difficult to implress upon the

site which. the government is looking'
for and I: have been sent to. view sit ie
which are totally 'inadeqiuate to` hold
the amount o. water' desired.': 'Tbie;
r!equired site should, be. comparative
ly easy' to dam and. should have batkh
of it the necessary reservoirage to
store large bodies of- Water.' The
geographical construction !-of the
range on the south side is opposed to
the finding of the right kind of sites,
being 'almost abrupt. in places and at
no place have I seen what could be
called a good reservoir site, It is very.
probable that the St. Mary's irriga
tion project will be the first to ..be
carried out by the governments as it
will' 'give the 'quickest returns and,
cover the largest acreage of any yet
explored."
Mr. Robbins stated that the several
surveying parties were now as work
in the Milk river country, which is
also especially adapted to the require
ments of vast irrigation enterprises.,
