# VERDICT IS RENDERED ON DOLLAR AND COSTS
## Former Partners Go to Law to Bring About Financial Settlement.
The case of William Ludlum against Pat Sullivan went to trial in Judge Jackson's court yesterday before a jury. Ludlum ,asked for $300, money he claimed to have loaned Suillivan [sic] during the months of September, October and November of 1921. Sullivan put in a counterclaim for $200, the difference between the $300 loan by Ludlum and a check for $500 given him by the latter and on which payment was stopped. The check was signed by M. H. Martin.
Testimony disclosed that there had been a partnership in different lines between the plaintiff and the defendant. They were at Sweetgrass, in the upper part of the state, in 1921. It was in evidence that Sullivan wanted $100 with which to come to Butte and buy the right to the back end of the Atlantic bar. He got the place and was running it with a man named Flowler [sic] and others. Ludlum said he bought Fowler's interest for $100 and put that sum into the business, for which he was to receive 12½ per cent interest.
Later on, in November, so Ludlum claimed, he gave Sullivan his check for $100 with which to pay his taxes. The Atlantic was closed soon after, and they went to Gregson. Then they decided to buy in at the Bungalow. For that purpose it was claimed, Ludlum got the check from Martin, on which payment was stopped. Ludlum said he pawned his wife's ring for $300 and they bought in at the Bungalow. Thirty days later Ludlum sold out his interest to a man named Jimmy Gallagher and redeemed his wife's ring.
In June last, Ludlum wrote Sullivan, asking him to pay the money, or to give him a note for it, as he wanted to go away and forget. Sullivan replied that he hadn't any money, and as to giving a note, he wanted to know how about a settlement on the Bungalow deal. He said he had lost more than $1,000, while Ludlum had made even on it.
In the instructions to the jury, the court ordered the $100 item paid at the Atlantic eliminated from the amount claimed, as it was put into the business.
The jury brought in a verdict in favor of Ludlum for one dollar and costs.
W. H. Maloney represented Ludlum and Harry Meyer appeared for Sullivan.
# ANNIVERSARY SALE ON
## Murphy-Softley Company Is Four Years Old.
This week the Murphy-Softley company is celebrating its fourth anniversary, and in honor of the event a sale for six days, which commenced Monday will be continued throughout the week until Saturday night.
The anniversary sale, according to Mr. Murphy, is store-wide and includes everything in stock. "We are pleased with the progress made during the four years of business and are attempting to show our appreciation by giving the ladies of Butte and vicinity some substantial reductions in seasonable merchandise," he said.
Four years ago Murphy-Soltley [sic] took over the establishment then known as "Green's," and since that time James J. Murphy, for a number of years connected with Hennessy's, has been its directing head. Business from the start was good and each succeeding year has shown a marked increase until at the present time the Murphy-Softley company is known throughout the city and state as one of Montana's most fashionable and exclusive ladies' shops. Elegantly appointed and with a corps of courteous and efficient salespeople this store enjoys a wide patronage among all classes for there are styles and prices to suit every condition, and the friendly atmosphere tends to make every shopper feel at home.
Mr. Murphy reports that the ladies of the city are responding generously to the anniversary sale offerings, and he anticipates a big volume of business for the remainder of the week.

### *Marriage by Judiciary Getting to Be Popular*
Getting married by a judge or a justice of the peace is getting to be quite the thing in Butte. Justice James Francis Carey seems to be in the lead as a legal knot-tier just now Yesterday he officiated at two matrimonial functions in his office at the court house. The contracting parties were John Haugholt and Elizabeth Veeder, and Frank Warren and Loretta Evans. All the parties hailed from Butte.
Judge Lynch also tied one knot. The parties were Lawrence Scott and Ethel Ricks, both of Rigby, Jefferson county, Idaho.
Raphael Shelton and Elva Windlief also took out a license to wed. They are from Melrose.

# *Why Is It?*
WHY is there more argument about coffee than any other item of diet. Coffee has always needed defense—one of the few articles of diet that does.
No doubt exists about the fact that coffee contains caffeine, a drug which doctors prescribe as an emergency stimulant for the heart and nervous system; and many coffee drinkers know from experience that for them, coffee causes nervousness, headache or stomach trouble.
Since so many people, including health authorities, have reason to question coffee drinking, can you afford to risk your health with it—when you can have a safe mealtime drink, such as Postum?
You will like the delicious flavor of Postum. It fills every requirement of a hot drink; and many former coffee drinkers even *prefer* it to the best coffee.
With Postum as your mealtime beverage, your system free of caffeine, and your sleep sound and restful, you'll realize that Postum has established its genuine value in health and comfort.

# ROBBERS GET BUSY ST. PATRICK'S NIGHT
## Five Cases Reported to Police; Woman Too Alert For Purse Snatcher.
St. Patrick's night was rather a quiet night for robbers and prowlers, as but five cases were reported yesterday morning. At the Midget cigar store, near the corner of Broadway and Main streets, thieves robbed the till of $50 in cash. John Spavolis, who rooms at 70 East Park, reported that his room had been robbed during the night and he lost clothes and some jewelry. A barber shop at 15 North Wyoming was found with the transom forced, but presumably the robbers were frightened away before they could secure any loot. Dr. Hughie Pock, Chinese physician, reported that his car, parked in front of his residence, 639 Utah, was stripped of a motor meter and a tire, and the garage of John Berryman, 634 South Montana street, was entered and tools and accessories amounting to more than $50 were taken.
Several suspects are held by Chief of Police Murphy on the charges of vagrancy until their cases can be thoroughly investigated.
A woman, who refused to notify the police because of the resultant publicity, reported to a friend that a youth about 17 years of age tried to snatch her purse yesterday on South Arizona street. The youth, who was dressed in shabby overalls and a gray cap, slipped as he reached for the handbag and the woman assisted his sprawl into the gutter by a healthy shove. He jumped to his feet and ran west on Mercury street.
# TALK CAMPAIGN FOR CRIPPLED TONIGHT
## Auxiliary and Friends Will Meet in Chamber to Devise Money Means.
The clinic conducted in Butte for the past week by Dr. Louis Allard for the crippled children of the city came to a close yesterday after Dr. Allard had reported treating some 70 cases and operating on 10 children during this visit. The executive board of the Auxiliary for the Rehabilitation of Crippled Children was unusually gratified with what has been accomplished during the present clinic of the well-known orthopedic physician.
The auxiliary will now turn its attention towards a campaign to raise funds so that the good work started among the crippled children will not be lost. This evening a meeting of all friends of the crippled is called for 8 o'clock in the Chamber of Commerce. Preliminary plans for the city-wide campaign will be discussed.
The auxiliary now needs $5,000 to do the necessary work, and even a larger amount will be needed if it is to increase its scope of activities. This amount will pay the salary of the orthopedic nurse, Miss Elizabeth Pithoud, and keep the four patients now at Billings in that hospital until the cases are adjudged cured.
There are a number of other little patients in Butte who should be sent to the St. Vincent's hospital for further treatment, and if the necessary funds are forthcoming they will be given the same attention which has been accorded others. The campaign received its first present yesterday, when the Butte aerie of Eagles voted $50.
### W. O. W. CELEBRATION AT ANACONDA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 19.

# JUDGE CARROLL GETS JURY FOR HIS COURT
## Thirty-eight Are Selected Out of Sixty-four Who Report for Duty.
Sixty-four men of the 100 whose names were drawn on the venire reported in Judge Carroll's court yesterday for service as jurors for the term just starting. Of these, 26 had good and valid excuses and were let go. The following 38 were retained:

# *Two Men Wield Axe In Sanguinary Duel Stopped by Officers*
An axe fight, in which the deadly weapon was used alternately by both men, caused Chief Murphy and Assistant Chief O'Donnell to rush to an alley in the 600 block of Colorado street, early last evening, where the timely arrival of the officers probably prevented a slaying.
Sol Willard, a teamster, is badly slashed about the head and "Frenchy" Serville Jean, the other combatant, is slashed about the body. It is not thought that the wounds will prove fatal. .
Neither Willard or Jean would make any statement, and of the two score women who witnessed part of the fight, none would volunteer any information to the officers.
Both men were taken to the emergency hospital, where their injuries were dressed, after which they were taken to jail. The axe was brought to the police station. From the bit to the end of the handle the axe was completely covered with blood.

### A Tough Situation

"My wife and four children were dependent on me for their living. My stomach and liver trouble of five years had made me despondent, as no medicine seemed to help me, and I was gradually wasting away. It was a tough situation. My cousin in Columbus wrote me about having taken Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and advised me to try it. I am now feeling better than for fifteen years." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refunded. At all druggists.—Adv.
