Helena, -Feb. 14. Xot one in 10 of (lie hundreds of friends of Henry J. Baker, the efficient head waiter at the Grandon hotel, has made this session' know that he has the distinction of being the youngest master Mason in the country. Baker, who is only 27 years old, has been prominent in the colored Masonic body for five years, and a year airo he was installed as master cf Bird's lodge, one of the two lodges of colored Masons in Helena.

He served as junior warden two years and as senior warden one year and then was elevated to the post of master. The colored Masons have a large strength in the country and trace their lodges back to the famous Prince Hall lodge of the revolutionary period. The jurisdiction, which includes Montana, also includes the other Rocky mountain states. Its grand master is C. R.

Robinson of Colorado Springs, who was here recently 011 a visit. In addition to the two lodges of the order here there are lodges at Butte and Great Falls. Baker has been head waiter at the for two years and is known as one HEARING Qfl FEB. 18 Suit of John MacGinniss Versus M. Continued by Clancy.

Judge Clancy this morning continued the tearing upon the order to show cause why he plaintiff should not be granted an inspection of the books of the defendant in the case of John MacGinniss against the Boston Montana Mining company. The hearing was continued to the morning of the 18th. This is the case where MacGinniss seeks to restrain the Boston Montana company from permitting -the Amalgamated Copper Mining company to operate its business and plant. The hearing of the ease itself is set for the 18th. The plaintiff alleges that an inspection of the defendant's books is necessary to his case; hut the hearing on the order for the inspection has been continued several times in order to await a tlecision from the supreme court upon the law points involved in the matter.

In the case of Michael Hickey, F. Augustus Heinze and others against the Parrott Silver Copper Mining company, Judge Clancy today granted the defendant 20 days additional time in which to prepare and fde amendments to the bill of exceptions to the decision, of Judge niade January 13. the compensation of. the receiver. The order was made on a stipulation between the parties.

DEFENDANT RELEASED IN THE GREAT M'GINTY CASE Prosecution of, Whorman ds -Also Upon Motion of the County Attorney. Better progress was made yesterday afternoon in the McGinty trial than during the morning and the case was concluded and given to the jury late in the day. A verdict in favor of the defendant was rendered and the man accused of stealing J. H. Seckler's safe, December 25, last, in company with William Whorman and William Miller, left the courtroom a free man.

The state failed to make out a case against the accused. As soon as the verdict was announced Judge McClernan, upon the the motion of the county attorney, dismissed the charge gainst Whorman and he was also released from custody. Witnesses for the defense testified that Whorman and McGinty were in different saloons in the early morning of December 25, contradicting the testimony of Harper, the barkeeper at Seckler's, that they were in the hitter's saloon. Ed O'Donnell, a bartender in the Hawthorne saloon; Bob Atkinson, proprietor of A saloon on the northeast corner of Mercury and Main street, and Paddy Ryan, bartender in the Golden Gate saloon on Fast Park street, told the jury about the men being in their places of business early Christmas morning playing the slot machines and drinking. Ryan roomed with McGinty and knew him well he was very positive that McGinty was in his saloon at the time mentioned.

Deputy Sheriff Haggerty, Jerry ClilTord and Coroner Egan testified as to Mc-Ginty's good character. The jury was given the case about 5 130 o'clock and a verdict cf acquittal was announced in about two and one-half hours. Grand prize masquerade given by Louise lodge, imo. 3, and Teutonia lodge.

The practice of medicine in Butle is remunerativeif the doctor collects his bills. At least that would sc- 10 be the case if the inventory in lhe.str.te of the late Dr. Henry A. Cayley. bled in the district court today, is any criterion of such a matter.

According to the inventory and appraisement there is accounts 011 the books of Dr. Cayley. 'The appraisers of the estate arc Joe Klafki, A. A. Gagner and LeBlauc, and the appraisement is sworn to by them as a correct valuation and list of Dr.

Cayley 's property. They list the doctor's insurance at $65, and the insurance was in the ForeHers of America. 1 he personal property in the estate is set down at $80. All the patients of '-e deceased physician are named in schedule of ac- counts, and the a' each owes the estate is set down opposite his name. 1 ne schedule is an interesting statement, as showing how many people passed through the medico's hands, a given time, receiving medical attention from him which was never paid for.

The time during which the services were rendered is not given, so the annual business done cannot be estimated, or how long the accounts have been standing. The bills are mostly small, however. The people who owe the estate number about ooo, and i.ie smallest account is $2.50 and Ihe largest $332. The average amount owed is about $10.

D. Metcalf. Judge Harney heard arguments today upon a motion for a new trial in the case of D. II. Nicholson and others, against George D.

Metcalf. administrator, an action to have the defendant declared trustee of some property to which the plaintiff claims title. The property in question is a mining claim, and it is the contention of the plaintiffs that they lived upon the property a number of years, and about twenty years ago, upon the eve of their departure upon a prospecting trip, gave one Peter Dunne $20 to pay to Clark Bros, for a deed to the property. They presumed he had secured the deed and had it recorded in their names, but after Dunne's death they learned differently and suit against the administrator of hi4s estate resulted. The case was tried last November, and December 2 Judge Harney rendered a decision in favor of the defendants.

Counsel for the plaintiff, in presenting the motion for a new trial today, claimed that new evidence had been discovered. An affidavit was read to the effect that E. A. Briggs of Walkexville would be able to testify relative to money being paid to Dunne to secure the title to the property. The defendant's attorney, in opposing the motion for a new trial, claimed that if counsel for the plaintiff had desired at the time of the trial they could have secured the evidence now sought to be introduced.

Roy Evans, the baseball player who was arrested several days ago on a charge of having issued bank checks without funds in bank to pay them, and who was released from the county jail yesterday because the case against him had been settled, was rearrested in the afternoon and returned to jail to answer to charges against him at other places. One charge is filed at Billings, and the sheriff of that place has telegraphed that he would come for Evans. Another charge is at Hannibal, at which point the Pinkerton detective agency is looking for Evans. Bruce Kremer, Evans' lawyer here, says the latter is, perfectly willing to be taken back East or to Billings to face the charges against hiin. He is accused at both the places named of passing drafts without money in bank to meet them.

But at the official count taken afterward Weston was found to have a majority of 33 votes. When Mr. Kremer asked for the setting of the hearing Judge Clancy said that he expected to have a jury in his court on February 16.

That, he said, would prevent him from having the hearing. Mr. Kremer said that the hearing could be had at any time, and could be postponed from time to time if the matter was once set, and the court -explained that in "old Missouri" there was a case of similar character in which the parties agreed to let the hearing go over, and in which the court rendered a decision throwing the contest out on that account. The attorney read the statute of Montana on the subject, showing that the case might be called for a special hearing by the court and be continued from time time, not to exceed 20 days at a continuance. After that the court set the contest for the hearing, as stated, saying "Well, I'll set it for March 5- That will be 19 days from now.

I will set it down for then, but I don't expect to try it. I'll continue it again then. I can't have a jury standing around here." City Restrained From Interfering With Poolroom Men. Judge Clancy today signed the temporary injunction restraining the city officers from interfering with the members of the Butte Hotel club, which handles pools at the Butte hotel. The decision upon the matter of issuing the injunction order by Judge Clancy on the 12th instant.

The order signed today commands Mayor Davey, City Attorney Lamb, Police Judge Boyle and Chief of Police Reynolds to desist from interfering in any way with the business of the plaintiffs. It also enjoins them from arresting the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs are designated as broKers and agents for the club, and gives their business as that of selling tickets or pools upon horse races. The terms of the injunction are to the effect that it shall remain in force till the suit is finally adjudicated by a trial. The injunction permits the Butte Hotel club to continue the business of pool selling, and stops the city from in any way interfering with or hindering the business.

There is an appeal to be taken to the supreme court of the state, and it may be that the order of Judge Clancy will be reversed by the upper tribunal. It will be some time before the appeal will have been presented and ruled upon. Havana, Feb. 14. The senate yesterday passed unanimously and without debate the soldiers' pay bill.

Attorney Bruce Kremer, legal representative of P. V. Ryan in the latter's election contest with County Clerk John Weston, is pushing the contest in Judge Clancy's court. He is anxious to bring the matter to a hearing and he took steps in Judge Clancy's court this morning to bring about that result. When court opened Mr.

Kremer asked Judge Clancy to set the case for trial and presented a blank order to the latter for filling out and signing. Judge Clancy, after debating the question and consulting the statutes, set the hearing for Thursday, March 5, nineteen days from this date. Mr. Kremer asked not only for the setting of the hearing, but for an order empowering the clerk to issue citations to bring in the parties and witnesses needed in the case. The order wasalso granted, although Judge Clancy said that he did not expect to try the case on the day named.
