atiyely young men who also received
their education ut the same institution

The subject Of enlarging Billings
county should receive the attention OF
every citizen Of our county and then Of
the legislature. At thesyery least, Dunn
county on tile north and Willard on the
sspth should be added to Billings. Our
limits formerly took in more than these
two counties, and they should never
have been detached. From the very ma
ture of the occupation, cattle country
cannot be thickly settled, and there will
never be too many inhabitants within
the enlarged limits. It cannot be long
before our county is organized, and when
it is. the present counties of Dunn
and Willard will probably be attached to
US for, all purposes. This will make
them an expense instead of a source of
revenue, and as it. is doubtful if either of
these counties will he organized inside
OF fifty years, Billings will be a long
time getting her money back.

Reports from the Black Hills are to
the effect that cattle there are not doing
well. Several herds have already lost
ten percent, and the rest Of the cattle
are not in as good condition as they
should be at this time of the year. The
above loss is the largest we have yet
learned. limo place in Montana can we
hear Of greater loss than tosr per cent,
and in our Bad Lands the per cent. Of
loss for all cattle on the river cannot
reach more that two per cent. OF course
these figures are all estimated, but they

CHICAGO, June 2O.-Mary Kleman, II girl in
jail here who has heretofore per'istrntll
assorted her innocence Of the crime with
which she is charged, that of administering
poison to the family Of Mrs. Michael Frcres,
her sister, with whom she has made hei
home for n short time ut Rose Hill, has
now confessed TO q reporter that
she is guilty, not only of the at.
tempt upon their lives but Of
causing the deaths of her mother, father
and another sister in Dubuque. Her
mother died in July of last year, her sis
ter Lena I'm August, and her father, Michael,
in March Of this year. She assigns no mo-
tive for her crimes, other than that she was
impelled to commit them, and is evidently
insane.
Mary Kleman is less than % years old,
slender, rather pretty, prepossessing in
manner and an invalid, having but partial
use of her lower limbs and feet. She has
an Innocent expression and looks even more
youthful than she is. Her eyes have the
strange, bright, fixed look so often seen
with diseased mind. For the past two
months she has lived with her sister at
Rose Hill, to whom she came after the burial
of her father in Dubuque.
Several times since she has lived with her
sister she has prepared the meals, and on
nearly every occasion when she has done so,
the family consisting of Michael Freres, his

greyish colored powder in the yard IL
week ago last Tuesday morning. When he
ate his soup mt noon he was seized with
vomiting and observed u sediment in his
soup plate corresponding to it in appear
ance. Upon further examination more of
the same substance was found in his wile's
and his children's plates. He carried both
thn nnwuer found In the ward md that in
the plates to Evanston for an an
alysis and called in physician to
attend the family. The result showed that
the powder was poison. Mary kleman was
accordingly arrested. She has wept con-
tinuously till the last day or two since her
incarceration there, and asserted that her
sister had preferred II false charge against
her for the purpose of obtaining a small
amount OF money, 800, which she claimed
she had. When her lawyer went to Rose
Hill to take possession of her effects, her
money could not be found.
