A London paper asserts that the
highest velocity yet impaired to a
cannon ball is 1 626 feet per second,
aGual TO mile in 3 2 seconds. The
velocity OF the earth at the equator,
due to rotation on its axis, is i, 900
miles per hour, or mile ia 6 Sec
onds; thus, if cannon ball were fired
due west, and could maintain It's
velocity, it would beat the sun in its
apparent journey around the earth.

At 8 O'Clock Tuesday morning John
Kiernan, while passing up an alley back
of Owsley's stable at Butte, was shot from
behind, the bullet passing through the
upper portion of the left lung and coming
out at the breast. He was picked up an
hour later in an unconscious condition and
taken to the Sisters hospital. 1t has not
vet been determined whether the wound
is fatal OF not. He does not know If the
shot was intended for him or if it was
merely a stray shot. Quite a number
were being fired just then as fire alarm.
Of the seventy ranches now established
in the Alberta district of the Canadian
northwest, seven are devoted to the raising
of sheep and these have been established
within the last two years. The sheep
raising industry is considered by some to
be of even greater value to that country
than cattle raising. 1t is believed that it
must assume large proportions very soon,
seeing the peculiar suitability of the lands.

A Most Deliberate Suicide.

George Chibbers, employed in the
Moulton mine, committed suicide in a
horrible manner in cabin at Walkerville,
occupied by himself and Charles Orcott.
He had drawn his pay and been drinking
and gambling several days. Orcott was
unwell and in bed in a room of the cabin.
About noon Chibbers came in and lay down
on the bed in the other room. Presently
he asked Orcott to come in, but the latter
refused. Soon Orcott was again called,
and going into the room found Chibbers
sitting on the side of the bed letting blood
from an open artery in his right arm squirt
into coal oil can alongside the bed. An
oyster can full of blood was sitting near;
the room was sprinkled with blood and a
stream of the same was running along the
room toward the door. A bloody razor
and jack knife showed how the act had
been committed The flesh had been al
most cut off the arm in searching for the
artery. Orcott fastened for help and on
returning found that Chibbers had shot
himself through the brain with pistol
evidently fearingif assistance was brought
his life would be saved. His wife is dead
but he has three children in Hooking
county, Iowa.

Sullivan and then ran into the timber.
He afterwards came back, but when

dying he struck out for Idaho and has
not been seen since. Wednesday night,

How the Livingston Club Paralyzed tn
Billings Players.

How the Livingston Club ParaIyzed the
Billings Players.
For some time previous to the evening
of Friday of last week, the awful rumor
gained currency that nine young men
from Livingston intended visiting Billings
on the Sd, to engage in a base ball slug
ging match with crew of that town. The
rumor was true, and on the evening stated
the contestants, backed by some stald
friends, took their departure from the
city. The evening was an ideal one. The
stars shone with brllliancy that gave the
sluggers courage as they sped on their
way, while many prayers were offered for
their safety and wholesome return. When
the dim light of another day dawned up
on Yellowstone county and the sun pierced
a tissue of feecy clouds, tipping the
waters of the Yellowstone river and the
Billings & Bailey irrigating ditch, nine
silent and wearied athletes emerged from
a Northern Pacific coach and proceeded
to Billings hotel for lunch they felt so
much in need of, and small dose OF
something tc soothe their nerves for the
approaching fracas. The greeting between
the visitors and their encounterers was
d1gnifed but still friendly, as they thought
it the proper course to pursue not to give
away their game. The Billings boys,
however, could not suppress their surprise
when informed that the visitors were not
accompanied by corps OF physicians,
and Immediately dispatched a messenger
to secure all those unemployed. Business
not being very rushing, five fearless NJ. D. S
came up and rendered their services,
which were accepted. After other pre-
liminary matters were arranged satisfac-
torily, the contending clubs, physicians
attendants, nurses and civilians adjourned
| to the battle field. The rival mascots
were given prominent seats under cover
ING where the sun would have no effect
upon their capitas, so they could do all
the ponderous cheering they were capable
of. With suit of armor and a gatlins
gun within easy reach, stood the umpire
calm and serene He called the game
and the teams took their positions Tht

isfed of its quality and of its being thu

statutes of Montana. The game was de
cidedly mascots game up to the eight
innings, with odds in favor of the Living
ston club, when the talepathy the Billing
mascot was showering upon his club wa
exhausted and it became ratified. Th
Livingston club piled up 90 CONSECUTIVE
runs in this innings, and the men com
menced to cross the home plate in pairs

held Il hasty confab, unparliamentary
and decided that it was impossible t
put man out any more, as their mascot

In regard to the land grant Mr.. Harris
said that congress is sitting in the capacity

committee from congress would come out
and investigate the country, look at the
prosperity the railroad has brought, the
Improvements it has made and the char

they would be willing to allow us our
land grant without any further opposition.
