NICHOLLS WINS THE SUIT ## VERDICT AGAINST E. L. MAYO IN LITIGATION OVER BLOCK OF MINING STOCK. **Deal in North Butte Mountain Company Shares Involved in Case Tried Before Judge Bourquin and a Jury Yesterday.** In Judge Bourqin's [sic] court yesterday the jury returned a verdict in favor of Mrs. Sarah E. Nichols in the suit brought against E. L. Mayo. The verdict was for the recovery of $2,000 which was the full amount sued for. It was brought out in the testimony that W. H. Nichols, the husband of the plaintiff, and E. [L.?] Mayo were interested in the promotion of the North Butte Mountain Mining company, and a contention arose as to the distribution of a certain block of stock. Mrs. Nichols claimed that the stock was coming to her, it having been given to her by her husband, but that defendant Mayo disregarding the terms of a certain contract sold the stock and refused to pay over the proceeds amounting to $2,000. ### Present to Wife. W. H. Nichols testified that he made a demand for the money, but that while acknowledging that he had sold the stock Defendant Mayo refused to pay over the proceeds. The witness said he gave his wife the receipt for the stock telling her she could have it for the use of herself and her children. For the defense it was claimed that Mr. Nichols signed the stock over to Defendant Mayo to cancel a debt of $2,000 which he owed to Mayo; that the stock was never transferred to Mrs. Nichols and that she never had any interest in it. The jury was out about three hours when it returned the verdict last evening in favor of Mrs. Nichols. # HAUSWIRTH INQUEST HELD THIS MORNING ## Coroner Changes the Date of Inquiry Over Miner— Funeral Arrangements. The inquest over the body of Robert Hauswirth, who was killed Sunday in the Silver King mine by a premature blast, will be held at Richards' undertaking rooms at ten o'clock this morning, instead of at seven this evening as at first announced. The funeral will be held from the residence, 552 North Franklin street, at two o'clock this afternoon. Rev. J. E. Noftsinger officiating. The body will remain at the undertaking rooms until noon, when it will be removed to the residence. # M'DERMOTT ANSWERS IN SUIT OF JOHN O'MEARA The answer of the defendant was filed in the district court yesterday in the suit of John H. O'Meara against Peter T. McDermott. The action was brought to recover $10,000 alleged to be due on a note. It is claimed the note was given in consideration that O'Meara would release Defendant McDermott from all obligation to Plaintiff O'Meara and John Kerrigan for all services of the latter two parties may have rendered in connection with the sale of the Burke and Balaklava mines for $400,000. It is alleged that the release and acquittance was not given and that the alleged note is of no value and no evidence of indebtedness against Defendant McDermott. O'Meara and Kerrigan brought a suit against McDermott to secure a share of $125,000 alleged to have been the commission on the sale of the two mines, but at the recent trial of the case in Judge Bourquin's court, Defendant McDermott won. # UNDER-SHERIFF BAILEY ARRESTED AT MISSOULA Under-Sheriff Howard Bailey and his bride have returned to Butte from a brief honeymoon trip which included visits to Helena and Missoula. In the latter town Mr. Bailey was arrested on his arrival. He was taken from his room late at night by the sheriff and chief of police of Missoula, assisted by several deputies and police officers, and was compelled to purchase liquid refreshments for a large crowd in a cafe before an Oregon boot was removed from his leg and he was given his liberty. The charge was vagrancy. [advertisement] # Pure White Perfect Carat Diamond $195 Mayer challenges the whole country to sell diamonds as cheap as he. You can't get anywhere else a full carat, perfect cut, pure white, absolutely flawless diamond but at Mayer's for $195. Of course, dealers could sell as cheap as that, but they won't; simply because they want more profit than satisfies Mayer. Mayer has a nice line of diamonds in ¼, ½ and [¾?], and full carat weight; and he will guarantee to sell any for less than any other dealer. The carat offered at $195 you may have for the price in ring, pin or stud. If you want a diamond be sure you see Mayer's stock and get Mayer's price before you buy. Then compare others prices for same quality with Mayer's; and if Mayer's is not the lowest price for same quality, cut and weight and color, then don't patronize Mayer, because, under Mayer's guarantee you have a right to get diamonds for less at his store than elsewhere. 22 West Park.

AND LAW PROVIDES FOR ADOPTION BY CITY COUNCIL—DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE AS SPECIFIED IN MONTANA STATUTES. City Attorney Booth, speaking yesterday afternoon of the law which provides for the installation of voting machines, in view of the organization of the commission to choose a machine, said that he did not believe that the provisions of the law were mandatory upon the council, and there was a possibility that the machines might not be bought, but that the law certainly would permit buying the machines, which would immensely facilitate and cheapen elections in the city of Butte, and result in a better and quicker count of votes. The section in question is section 3 of chapter 168 of the session laws of 1907. It says in part: "The boards of county commissioners of counties of the first class and the city councils of cities of the first class shall adopt and purchase for use in the various precincts any voting machine approved in the manner above set forth by the voting machine commission and none other." The voting machine commission, which will meet next month in Helena to consider the various machines, consists of the governor, the attorney-general and the secretary of state. ### May Use It in Fall. The section of the statute continues to provide that if the precinct is small, two precincts or more may be joined together for the purpose of voting with the machines. The city attorney says that the machine could not in any event be used at the coming spring election, but if the commission in Helena decides on a machine within the next few months there is no reason why the machines should not be used in Butte in the coming election. By legal provision, the machine must be chosen sixty days before election. As a matter of common interest Mr. Booth cited some of the provisions of the statute regarding the description of the machine which is to be chosen by the commission. ### Description of Machine. The statute says in the same chapter above quoted: "No machine or machine system shall be approved by the commission unless it be so constructed as to afford every elector a reasonable opportunity to vote for any person for any office or for or against any proposition, for whom or for or against which he is by law entitled to vote, and enable him to do this in secrecy; and it must be so constructed as to preclude any elector from voting for any candidate for the same office on any question more than once, and from voting for any person for any office, for whom he is [column continues] # PHIL GOODWIN TO BE CHAIRMAN TOMORROW ## Final Arrangements Are Completed for Grand Rally at Speech of Acting Governor. Final arrangements for the Gov. Norris speech Wednesday evening at the Auditorium have been completed by the executive committee of the lately organized democratic club. The chairman of the evening will be Phil Goodwin, and a short address of introduction will be made by Attorney Ed M. Lamb. The members of the club are especially anxious to have a good crowd for their first meeting of importance, and it is hoped that a large house will be present to hear the acting governor's speech. ### MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION DISCUSSES CANDIDATES. At the regular Monday morning meeting of the Silver Bow Ministerial association held March 23, the candidates for the coming election of aldermen were discussed with a view of determining future action on the part of the ministers concerning same. The meeting was of great interest. E. O. TILBURN, Sec. # WALTER WELLMAN AT THE AUDITORIUM ## Famous Writer and Arctic Explorer to Speak in Teachers' Lecture Course Thursday Evening. One of the most notable and interesting lecture announcements of the season is that made in the Butte teachers' course for Thursday evening next, when Walter Wellman, the famous newspaper man and Arctic explorer, will speak at the Auditorium. In connection with the lecture he will give a number of stereopticon pictures, both still life and moving, to illustrate his recent notable attempt to reach the pole with a great airship. This airship was twice as large as the largest ever[,?] built in France. His plans along that line will be detailed, and there will be reference to the absorbing mysteries of the polar climate, the midnight sun, the great ice, the long winter, etc. # PATRICK J. MURPHY IS SENT TO STATE ASYLUM Patrick J. Murphy, who was formerly employed as a barkeeper in Butte, and whose mind has been failing recently on account of a stroke of paralysis, was examined yesterday on a charge of insanity at the family home at 120 West Quartz street. The examination was before Judge Donlan and Drs. Turner and Horst. On account of his disability Mrs. Murphy has for some time had the burden of the support of her husband and three children. Murphy is not violent, but it was decided that special treatment at the state asylum might be of benefit to him, and he was committed to the Warm Springs institution. ## Column 4 [CITY MAY HAVE VOTING MACHINE, continued from column 3] not by law entitled to vote. The machine or machine system must admit of his voting a split ticket as he may desire. It must also be so constructed as to register or record each and every vote cast. For presidential electors one device may be provided for voting for all the candidates of one party at one time by the use of such device, opposite or adjacent to which shall be a ballot on the machine containing the names of all of the candidates for all presidential electors of that party; and a vote registered or recorded by the use of such device, shall be counted for each of such candidates on such ballot. The machine must be constructed so that it can not be tampered with or manipulated for any fraudulent purpose; and the machine must be so locked, arranged or constructed that during the progress of the voting no person can see or know the number of votes registered or recorded for any candidate." ### City May Adopt It. The statute provides for the purchase either for the city or the county, so that it would not be necessary to have machines for the whole county in order to have them in the city. Payment for them is also provided for by the issuance of interest bearing bonds. By further provision of the statute the voter is precluded from remaining within the booth for more than a minute, and any voter who remains a longer time than that is to be ejected by the judges. The room where the election is held is to be so railed that the judges and clerks are separated from the front or face of the machine, and can not tamper with the machine without coming from beyond the railing. The ordinary provisions of the voting statute regarding the aiding of decrepit or blind [persons?] at their own request is included. ### Must Lock Machine. As soon as the polls are closed the judges are directed to lock the machine, or remove the recording device, so that no more votes can be registered. The machine must provide not alone for the split ticket, but likewise for the voting of irregular ballots [,?] with other names than those in nomination. Officials about the city hall who have been interested in the matter say that the machines will save their cost in a few years to the city, owing to the facility of counting, which will do away with much of the time of clerks and judges that has to be paid for under the present system. There will also be a saving in the preparations for election in the matter of materials, which will amount to a neat sum each year to city and county. It is said also that in cities where the machine has been adopted there are fewer ballot frauds and less litigation regarding votes which necessitates the recount of ballots under judicial supervision, which is an expensive piece of litigation. # RELATIVES SEEK FOR A MISSING TEAMSTER ## Mother and Wife of Sim Tuttle in Kentucky Reported to Be in Much Distress. An anxious inquiry for a missing man was received yesterday by District Court Clerk Davies from G. H. Vandeventer, the postmaster at Bush, Ky. Any person in Montana who can give information as to the whereabouts of one Sim Tuttle will greatly relieve the distress of mind of his aged mother and wife and little children, who are residents of Bush. The postmaster of that town says Tuttle's relatives are "frantic with grief" because they have not heard from the son and husband since last August. It is stated that Tuttle was employed as a teamster at Plains, Racetrack or Paradise, Montana. Prior to that time Tuttle was in the company of a man named E. Hale, both of them being large men, over six feet in height. It is known that they had an acquaintance named Jordan Crawford, who lives at Paradise. His relatives greatly fear that Tuttle has met with foul play, as they have not been able to get any trace of him since he mysteriously disappeared last August. At about that time he is supposed to have come to Butte with a team of horses. ### A Narrow Escape.

Exceptional interest is being manifested in the special services being conducted at the Immanuel Presbyterian church. Last Sunday a large congregation enjoyed the discourse by Dr. Love and the address in the afternoon in the Sunday school attracted a large gathering. Last night the attendance was equal to any during the previous week. Dr. Love is neither sensational nor emotional. He appeals to reason and intelligence, and brings the truth to bear on the will. which, after all, is the fortroyal [sic] of the soul. The music is an attractive feature of the services. The anthems rendered by the choir the solos are thoroughly enjoyed. The special services will be continued for the rest of the week. # ESTATE CLAIMS INTEREST IN THE MINNIE HEALY An amended complaint was filed in the district court yesterday in the suit of L. Q. Skelton, as administratrix of the estate of John D. Allport, deceased, against E. H. Wilson, as receiver of the Minnie Healy mine. It is alleged that the deceased was the owner of a one-fourth interest in the mine, and his estate seeks an accounting of all moneys received from the property. It is alleged that Mr. Wilson took ore from the mine to the value of $10,000, and made no accounting to the administrator of the Allport estate. ## Column 5 [advertisement: Uneeda Biscuit, framed display ad] [spans columns 5-7] Food for thought Food for work Food for brain **Uneeda Biscuit** The most nourishing of all wheat foods. **5¢** *In dust tight, moisture proof packages.

An answer was filed in the district court yesterday in behalf of the grand lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen of Montana in the suit brought against the order by Caroline Hodge. The grand lodge states that it has lost all of its members through transfers to other jurisdictions and by other means. It acknowledges that it is indebted to the plaintiff in the amount named, but states that there is at present only $5,602 in the beneficiary fund, and the total claims against that fund amount to $115,406. It is stated that in view of this condition of affairs the lodge went into voluntary insolvency, and the district court of Lewis and Clark county appointed Robert H. Howey as receiver of its affairs. It is stated that the plaintiff in this suit, will have to share with the other creditors in the distribution through the courts of whatever funds may be found. ### A CARD.

Leslie of Great Falls arrived in the city last night. Today he presided in Judge Lynch's department of the district court. ### POLICE COURT SESSION. The session of the police court yesterday contained nothing of interest. It was a repetition of the usual aggregation of drunks from over Sunday, and included a few women, who have been frequently seen in court on the same charge. John Sullivan was accused of stealing some poker chips, and in turn charged the informant, Dave Cohen, with doing a pawnbroker business without a license. Both were discharged. ### BUTCHER FINED TWENTY. Joseph Colombo, a butcher of Meaderville, was fined $20 in Justice Doran's court yesterday afternoon for not complying with the law in regard to the reporting of all hides taken from animals he slaughtered, and holding the hides ten days before disposing of them. The reason of the law is to secure information regarding the brands and the like, in order to prevent the slaughtering of cattle by thieves. The complaining witness was Stock Inspector John Collins. ### YESTERDAY'S REGISTRATION. A lively interest continues in the coming city election, and the registration yesterday was nearly as large as on any previous day since the registration offices were opened a week age [sic]. At the close yesterday a total of 4,171 citizens had qualified to vote. The greater registration thus far has been on the west side, where a total of 2,353 names have been enrolled, against 1,818 on the east side.
