FAMILY ROWSMUST CEASE
JUDGE MANN THREATENS TO
FINE ALL CONCERNED.
EXCITEMENT IN COURT
Broken English and Much German Is
Thrown Around Regardless by the
Schropps and Others-NeighborhoodFights Are to Be Cut Out.
"This court is no department of
domestic , disagreements," growled
Judge Mann yesterday, after hearing
some more of the Schropp family jars,
"and I'm not going to allow,you peo-ple to use it any more as a place to-make public your private grievances.
,Any time you think that I'm an au-thority as to the proper way of spank-aig children, or whether Mrs. B.'s
Lucy ought to have pulled Mrs. L.'sBusy's hair, or as to whether or notJimmie Jones sprinkled mud on Mrs.Smith's front porch-you have an-other guess coming.
"This police court is for the pur-pose of trying petty crimes; and it's
o t going to be used to settle neigh-borhood quarrels. Next time youSchropps and others can t agree andcome up here to tell me about it I'mgoing to fine the whole blooming
, bunch of you for disturbance."A few daye ago Mike Schropp was
h-ocused by his father, mother andtwo sisters of using vile and obscenelanguage against them and was fined
PS: 5 by Judge Mann. Yesterday'Mikeand the whole family, together withhalf -a dozen neighbors, were up eacht id' severally charging everybodyelse with causing trouble in the partof (he; lity where the families dwell.
German Row.argiely a German row, and
eas sonuch broken' Englishto rman sputtered and
S"to th. time there werei..nytwo hours to
e ees A4 put them
away. Most of the time there weresix people talking at once, and neitherthe judge nor anybody else could makehead or tail of it. Judge Mann stilldisclaims any knowledge of what thetrouble really was about, and throwsup his hands in helpless silence whenyou ask him.
What he finally did was to dischargeeverybody with a lecture warningthem to behave in the future, or atleast not to come before him again.
"When your children fight," saidhe, "don't take it up unless it's serious.If it's serious, spank the children-don't go out and have your neighborarrested. That's ridiculous, costs thecity money, makes your neighborhate you and does nobody any good.
"Remember my advice now, anddon't come up here again unless youeach and every one of you want topay five dollars into the treasury ofthe city of Billings."
Having delivered himself of thesefine sentiments, Judge Mann turnedaround and rapidly sentenced John(McClain, who has been up hundredsof times before, to serve five days onthe streets; T. J. McGill, second of-tense this week, to pay a $5 fine fordrunkenness, and L. A. Williams topay a $5 fine for drunkenness.

RICH PROPERTY.

mining men that pll the copper in thisstate occurs in sulphide ores and thatthere is no native or virgin copper
ore in the state, but this rpcent dis-covery sems to controvert that theory.
