CLINTON CLARK, Clerk. (Seal) By H. H. FARLIN, Deputy Clerk. ## Column 2 # DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION ## Daly Faction Has a Working Majority. # HARRIS IS TURNED DOWN ## Beaten by McArthur For Temporary Chairman—The Platform is Harmless. About 12:30 o'clock today Jerry Clifford, chairman of the democratic city central committee who occupied a chair on the Auditorium stage with Secretary Naughton, hammered on the table for order and the democratic convention was in session. Robert Coombs was chosen assistant secretary. As soon as the convention opened the fight of the Clark and Daly factions was apparent. P. J. McArthur was nominated for chairman by the Daly people and Ben Harris by the Clark people. There was a motion to have tellers appointed, but an amendment which provided that the roll of the delegates be called prevailed. The names of the delegates were then called. McArthur voted for himself and Harris referred to the vote of his opponent saying he would vote blank. McArthur was elected chairman by a vote of 50 to 26. Then a motion carried to declare the election unanimous. Mr. McArthur in accepting the honor said he would act "fairly and fearlessly." R. E. Leonard was elected secretary by a unanimous vote of the convention. Others were nominated but they withdrew. A motion was made to have the chair appoint committees. A question arose as to the committee on resolutions. Some thought the chair should have the power to hunt around among the delegations to find a lawyer to act upon the committee. Others were of the opinion that any of the delegates should have enough "horse sense," to draw up a set of resolutions that would answer the purposes of the convention. Finally the discussion ended, the chair being satisfied that he was clothed with enough power to get up a proper resolution committee and Messrs. McArthur and Leonard took up the work of picking out the names of men who would be suitable for committee service. While they were completing their labors the delegates talked over what had happened and smoked a few campaign cigars. The committees appointed were: Resolutions—John E. Curran, W. J. Dawson, P. G. Sullivan, Charles Gardiner, John Hennessy, J. J. Hamill, Adolph Reichle, J. J. Cotter. Organization—T. M. Lynch, H. J. Korr, Dennis Kennedy, J. R. Bordeaux, Patrick Wall, R. E. Elliott, Joseph Radmilovich, J. M. Reynolds. Resolutions—Robert Leonard, E. O. Dugan, Harry Gallway, C. G. Ferrall, J. C. Devitt, John Barto, C. B. Tobin, E. A. Nichols. After the appointment of the committees Judge Nichols made a motion that the convention adjourn until 3 o'clock to give the committees a chance to meet. The motion was carried and the session adjourned. In the afternoon the delegates were a little slow in getting into the convention hall and at 3:30 the meeeting had not been called to order. A wait was made on some of the committees. In the rear part of the hall quite a crowd was standing awaiting the opening of the session. A. 3:45 the convention was called to order. Chairman McArthur announced that the "council or rather the convention" was in order and the committees made their reports. The delegates who were chosen to the convention were: First Ward—Delegates: T. M. Lynch, P. H. Regan, John E. Curran, P. J. McArthur, Joe Ryan, Thomas F. Courtney, Robert Leonard, John D.

Bliss, Milton Whitney, Al Orton. No changes were made in the organization of the convention of the convention. The committee on platform and resolutions prepared the following: We, the democrats of Butte city, in convention assembled, resolve, That we declare our unwavering allegiance to the principles and traditions of the democratic party, as enunciated in the Chicago platform of 1896, and express our firm belief in the triumph of these principles in the coming national election. We heartily endorse the municipal administration of public affairs under the able, fearless and impartial guidance of that sterling democrat, Hon. J. H. McCarthy. We are in favor of a municipal policy that will meet the demands of the growing importance of our city, and favor such public improvements as shall be in harmony with the necessities of the growth of Butte. We commend the present policy of the city administration along these lines and favor the continuance of such policy. We denounce the hypocrisy of the late republican convention in endeavoring to deceive the voters of this city into the belief that the republican party is now, ever was, or ever will be, the friend of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, or any other ratio. We assert that the action of the present republican administration and the deceptions that have been practised through political platforms upon the people are the best evidences that the republican party is the uncompromising foe of the industries of the west. We denounce the passage of the gold bill recently passed by both houses of congress and signed by a republican president as the best indication of the hostility of the republican party to these interests of the west, and especially of Montana. No platform, expressed in words, can speak louder than these acts of assault and aggression on the rights of the people, and we declare with confidence that no specious promises can redeem the brazen repudiation of the republican platform of 1896, which declared for bimetalism and which was intended to deceive hundreds of thousands of republicans throughout the United States, who were in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver and whose eyes are now open to the real purpose of the republican party. We assert again that the democracy of the nation is the only political exponent of these principles which are dear to the heart of every Montanian, and we cordially invite the co-operation in the political expression of these principles, of all who are earnestly and sincerely friendly to the interests of Montana. R. E. LEONARD, Chairman. Ben Harris offered a special resolution asking that the convention endorse the 6 o'clock closing movement. The resolution caused a division in the convention. Mr. Harris was accused of not being a good democrat, and finally the chairman decided that the resolution should be tabled. Thus harmony was in a measure at least established, and what was regarded by some as an attack on the Anaconda company was warded off. The following are the names of the men selected for aldermanic candidates and committeemen in the eight wards, the committeemen being named last: First ward—Michael Dempsey, John D. Sullivan. Second ward—Thomas Bryant, W. J. Dawson. Third ward—John Gleason, Frank Normoyle. Fourth ward—E. L. Mayo, Abe Cohen. Fifth ward—John Hennessy, Edward Wynn. Sixth ward—A. G. Siebenaler, John McLaughlin. Seventh ward—C. C. Willis, Charles P. Tobin. Eighth ward—J. J. Knowlton, J. M. Reynolds. H. Galway was selected for the chairman of the central committee. All the nominations were ratified by the convention. The Fourth was the only ward where there was a contest in the convention. In that ward P. J. Munlock was suggested as a candidate for alderman as well as Mr. Mayo. The convention adjourned at 4:30. ### BEFORE THE OPENING. For an hour before the democratic convention opened to-day politicians stood about the auditorium and discussed the prospects before them. True to the traditions of the party they represented they were not fretting about having the convention open on time. At 12 o'clock the hour set for the session to get down to business there were not twenty people in the hall. A few members of the advance guard of the day were on the sidewalk in front of the auditorium and a lone policeman sauntered up and down the street near the building. No one seemed to know just what was causing the delay in beginning and the session and no one apparently was worrying about the matter. Among those who came early was County Attorney Connolly who conversed leisurely with those about him. Jerry Clifford, chairman of the city central committee was also on hand in good season. It was after 12:30 when he called the convention to order. ### NIPPER RECEIVERSHIP. In the matter of the application of Hickey Brothers and others for the appointment of a receiver for the Nipper mine, the motion to dismiss, which was made in Judge Clancy's court at the conclusion of plaintiffs' testimony today, was only partly argued, but will be resumed on Saturday. The high grade and superiority of the Kimball Piano in the estimation of great artists is made manifest in the testimonial of Mme. Scalchi, the world's greatest contralto who says, "The Kimball Piano's are ideal in tone, and perfect in action." Mme. Scalchi has selected two grand upright Kimball Piano's for use in her Grand Operatic Festival, at the Grand Opera house on March 21st, and will be assisted by Chevalier G. Lo Verdi, pianist to the queen of Italy. Mme. Nevada also selected a Kimball Piano in her recent recital in Butte. This appreciation of the world's greatest artists, of the Kimball Piano over all other makes, is very significant to intending purchasers. Registration closes tomorrow. Go today and avoid the rush.

The Silver Bow Plumbing and Heating company, through its attorney, W. E. Carroll, began an action today against the Eschle Plumbing and Heating company, A. J. Walker, Joseph Canney, Edwin Wright, H. T. Mehler, F. J. Dorhophs, F. A. Sutton and R. Morrison to recover judgment from each of the defendants for $500. The suit had its origin in the trouble among the plumbing fraternity which raged with considerable fury during nearly all of last year, and is therefore rather spicy. In the complaint the plaintiff alleges that all of the defendants at some time in 1899, or prior thereto, formed themselves into an association designated as the Butte Master Plumbers' association, the objects of which were a mutual combination among themselves to prevent competition in the business of plumbing and to maintain the price for their work at exorbitant figures; to form a trust or combination to control the plumbing, steam and gas fitting within the city of Butte and vicinity and to prevent the employment of members of a certain workingmen's association or union designated as the Plumbers and Gas Fitters' Union No. 41. Further, the complaint states that on February 2, 1900, H. Morrison, claiming to act as manager of the Silver Bow Plumbing & Electric Supply company entered into a written agreement wherein it was determined between himself and his co-dependants that each one should place $500 in an envelope and deposit it in W. A. Clark's bank until such time as any four members of the organization should demand it; that Morrison on February 2, withdrew from the usual place of deposit $500 belonging to this plaintiff and deposited in Clark's bank, where it remained until February 19., at which time he and four or more other members of the association drew all of the cash from the bank and kept it for their own use; that the money was first deposited and to be withdrawn only by a secret understanding among the members of the association. # AN OLD TIMER ON THE STAND (Continued from Page 8.) Mr. Scallon continued his opening statement at the afternoon session, dwelling more particularly upon what the defendants propose to show. He exhibited plans maps of the workings at various levels of the Never Sweat and Anaconda and the workings on the Colusa-Parrot on the corresponding levels. Referring to the diagonal vein or fault fissure, he said it was called a vein by the defense, because after the faulting took place it became chemically mineralized. The mineralization was not perhaps as continuous and regular as in the Colusa-Parrot and Anaconda veins, but it was a distinct mineralization of its own, and a vein according to all distinctions of geology. The Anaconda vein, he said, had been worked within the Anaconda lines down to the north line of the Colusa-Parrot and up to the east end line of the same claim. At the 1600 of the Anaconda the level is south of the Colusa-Parrot ground. ### YESTERDAY'S SESSION. The plaintiffs in the suit of the Colusa- [stray line printed here: that corrections can be noted if neces-] Parrot Mining company vs. the Anaconda Mining company sprang a surprise on the attorneys for the latter yesterday evening when they rested their case. This action was vigorously resisted by the counsel for the defendants, and after a lengthy argument by the attorneys, the court held that the plaintiff company was within its rights. The last witnesses yesterday evening were A. H. Wethey and N. W. Simmons. After the examination of the latter relative to the transcribing of the records of Deer Lodge county to Silver Bow county, the plaintiffs announced that they had one more witness, W. J. Parks, who had been sent for from Madison county. Mr. Parks is one of the old-timers of Butte, and in the early days was associated with Porter, Leary, Ramsdell and others who were interested in the Parrot properties. Mr. Cotter stated that Mr. Parks was fatigued after his long journey, and if the counsel on the other side were willing, he would be called as a witness at some later date. Mr. Hughes, one of the counsel for the plaintiff, then announced that they would rest their side of the case for the present. Mr. Hughes addressed the court in explanation. Governor Thomas contended that the plaintiff had failed to prove one very necessary fact set forth in the complaint. He argued that the plaintiffs had introduced no evidence to prove that a trespass had been committed on a vein or veins owned by them. Governor Thomas believed that the burden of proof rested upon the plaintiff, and the plaintiff having failed to prove the allegations contained in the complaint, he asked the court that judgment be entered for the defendant. The court asked the governor if it was the rule in Colorado that whenever proof is made of entering side lines and taking out ore, the presumption is that the ore belongs ## Column 5 to the veins which apex in the ground where it is found, to which the reply was made that that was the presumption not only in Colorado but in other states. Judge Knowles cited a circuit court decision of Colorado in which the doctrine of burden of proof in such mining cases was laid down conclusively. The court overruled Governor Thomas' motion. Mr. Cotter asked for permission to amend the complaint in the matter of damages asked. The complaint only asked for $50,000, while the evidence, Mr. Cotter said, showed that the value of the ore extracted was nearly $150,000, and he would like to make the complaint conform to the evidence. The attorneys for the defendant objected to this, and the court said he would like to consider the evidence on this point before passing upon the matter. At the adjournment of court last evening Judge Knowles said he would not hold court today on account of the death of the son of W. W. Dixon. Later, however, the court learned that the funeral would not be held until tomorrow, so it was agreed by the court and counsel that the trial would be renewed this morning. If you don't register before tomorrow night, you cannot vote. ### COL. WALLACE'S FUNERAL. Butte, Mont., March 22, 1900. The funeral of the late Colonel R. B. Wallace will be held at 2 p. m., Sunday March 25th, at Helena. All railroads have made a special rate of a one and one-fifth fare for the round trip and a special train on the Great Northern railway will leave Butte, Sunday at 8 a. m. and return the same day. It is especially desirable that the military funeral be as imposing as possible. Arrangements have been made with the managements of the Boston & Montana, Butte & Boston, Montana Ore Purchasing company, Anaconda Copper company and Colusa-Parrot M. & S. company, whereby all members of the First Montana infantry, employed in these properties, who usually work on Sunday, may attend the funeral, without loss of pay for this shift. Please give your name to your timekeeper who will be instructed to give you this lay-off. Please attend in uniform with bayonet scabbard if possible. BYRON H. COOK, Late Lieut.-Col. 1st Mont. Inf., U. S. V. L. P. SANDERS, Late Capt., 1st Mont. Inf., U. S. V. If you don't register before tomorrow night, you cannot vote. # RESPECT MEMORY OF WILL DIXON. At 2 o'clock today both departments of the district court adjourned until 10:30 o'clock Saturday morning out of respect to the memory of Will Dixon, whose death occurred in this city yesterday morning. The deceased having been a member of the legal bar of this county, Judge Lindsay appointed Judge W. Y. Pemberton, William Scallon, Judge E. N. Harwood, Judge J. J. McHatton and John T. Baldwin to draft resolutions appropriate to the death of the young man, and said he and Judge Clancy, sitting as one court, would be prepared to receive them at the opening of court Saturday morning. Register! Register! Register! # RESTRAINED FROM SELLING THE STOCK. Judge Clancy held a session of court last night and issued an order restraining the Combination Mining and Milling company, the property of which is located in Granite county, from selling a lot of stock advertised as delinquent. The stock was scheduled for sale on the 24th of this month. The complainants in the case are William Thompson, Henry Williams, J. H. Harper and O. J. McConnell. They are minority stockholders and claim that the Combination company by its chief officers—C. D. McLure, Paul A. Fusz and M. L. Rumsey—are endeavoring to freeze them out. The fight is an old one, having had its origin several years ago. The office of the company was originally located in this state, but the head officers switched it to St. Louis, their home. Shortly afterwards an assessment on the stock was levied and the plaintiffs in this action not only refused to pay it, but prevented its sale as delinquent. They also compelled the company to transfer its office from Missouri to Montana. The complaints base their action on the alleged ground that the St. Louis stockholders are endeavoring to defraud them of their shares, of which they hold about 60,000 out of 200,000. They allege that when the company closed its mill in 1894, it had a surplus of $40,000 on hand, but by reason of gross extravagance the entire amount has disappea[r]ed and a fraudulent indebtedness of $[3?]2,433.69 incurred. The complainants further allege that the bulk of the money in the treasury at the time of the shut down and the alleged indebtedness incurred since then found its way into the pockets of the officers and attorneys for work that was never performed. They say that the business of the company since the suspension of operations could have been conducted at a cost of $250, but it has cost $4,000 a year. Another claim made is that an alleged indebtedness of $18,000 to a St. Louis bank for which the bank got judgment against the company by default was fraudulent—that the company never owed the amount. At 4 o'clock to-day the hearing of a petition for the appointment of a receiver for the company's property was commenced. ### THE COPPER MINING SHARES The copper shares were as stagnant as usual to-day the only break in the monotony being the effort of Amalgamated to gain a few points. The quotations were: AMALGAMATED ............ $96 38 ANACONDA ............ 46 25 [B?]OSTON & MONTANA ............ 297 00 BUTTE & BOSTON ............ 63 00 CALUMET & HECLA ............ 740 00 MOHAWK ............ 14 25 SANTA FE ............ 5 50 TAMARACK ............ 185 00 UTAH CON ............ 30 00 ### MARITAL MISFITS. Christie Corbin is suing Harvey Corbin for divorce on the alleged ground of cruelty. They were united in marriage in Miles City on December 23, 1891. Sexinio Visintiner has also brought divorce proceedings against her husband, Leoni Visintiner. Their marriage occur- ## Column 6 red at Deadwood,South Dakota, on September 11, 1897, and on March 11, 1891, he quit her. Registration closes tomorrow.

A complaint charging Edward Casey and Andy O'Brien with assault in the first degree on William Sullivan, a boy, on the 20th, was issued from the county attorney's office today and filed in Justice Nichols' court. The charge was made by John Sullivan, father of the boy. The defendants are the young men who, it is alleged, struck Casey with a stone and fractured his skull. It was reported this afternoon that Casey was in a dying condition, and C. F. Kelly, the assistant county attorney, went to see him this afternoon. As the boy had not been informed by his physician that he could not recover no statement was taken from him. The boy is only 7 years old and is now at the Sisters' hospital. ### LAFONTISE-RILEY BOUT. Mose Lafontise, the well known Butte boxer, and John Riley, a clever San Francisco fighter, will try conclusions before the Butte Athletic association tonight. The bout is to be for 25 rounds, Marquis of Queensberry rules, and should be a very clever exhibition. Lafontise is eight or ten pounds lighter than the 'Frisco boy, but makes up by extreme cleverness what he lacks in weight. ### NOTICE. A mass meeting of the citizens of road districts one will be held at the "New Club saloon, Silver Bow Park on Saturday, March 24th at 8 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of nominating a candidate for county road supervisor. The world's greatest contralto, Mme. Sophia Scalchi, says: "The Kimball Pianos are ideal in tone and perfect in action," and has selected two grand upright Kimball Pianos for use in her Grand Operatic Festival, to be presented at the Grand Opera house, March 21st, and will be assisted by Chevalier G. Lo Verdi, pianist to the queen of Italy. The Kimball Piano is also unquestionab[ly?] endorsed by such world renowned artists as Adelina Patti, Emma Nevada, Lillian Nordica, Minnie Hauk, Emil Liebling John Philip Sousa, E. Remenyi, Ovid Musin and a host of others. This appreciation of the "Kimball" on account of superiority in song tone, and exquisite touch and action should be very significant to all intending purchasers. ### BRITISH WAR LOAN. Realizing that the bonds of England are a "gilt edged" investment, the Mutual Life Ins. Co. of New York, according to Sunday's dispatches, have offered to loan the British government $5,000,000. No better investment for its policy holders could be made. See or write Lynch & Bacheler, Dist. Mgrs., New Bee Hive Bldg., for a policy in the company. Registration closes tomorrow.
