L. j. Roses will not be the only new
rnnning stable to go east this year. Mar
Gus DAILY has gathered together likely
lot Of young ones and will try for some
of the big eastern stakes. Last month he
sent eight yearlings east and they are now
quartered at Matt Byrnes' farm at eaton
vile, M The lot was purchased from
Mr.. Haggin. The best looking one of
the lot is said to be the brother to King
Thomas, Silver King. He is described as
a bright chestnut, with good head, neck
and withers, together with the ideal back
for weight carrier. The entire string
is heavily engaged.
The fact that the horses were sent To
Byrnes has led to the report that they did
not belong to Mr.. DAILY, but were the
property Of Mr.. Haggin. This idea was
further strengthened in the east by the
fact that Mr.. DAILY is SO little known
among owners of thoroughbreds. He
however, does own the horses, and will
race them under his name and colors. He
used the same care in the selection Of
runners that he employed in the picking
of his trotters. The trotting stable made
itself famous last season, and it includes
some of the highest priced horses in the
west. Mr.. DAILY is several times mil
llonaire, and money is not considsra.

AN ALLEGED JAIL,

A Prison That is NO Better Than a Wood
shed-Who is Responsible!
SAND CoULEE, Jan. 15.-To the Editor
of the TRIBUNE: II you will allow
would like space in your columns to tell
the people and our county commissioners
about our fine jail. We feel now that
law and order will prevail for all offend.
ers stand in awe of our magnificent build
ing. The county paid, or is to pay, $500
for this Jail, and in addition the people of
Sand Coulee subscribed about SIS, SO that
our building is supposed to represent an
outlay to the county of about $275. What
is the result? We have shed-roofed
building, IA feet s inches by IA feet 4
inches, roof 6 feet from the ground at the
back and 10 or II IN front. The frame
made of 2x4s was covered with tar paper
and rough boards nailed on outside of
this. The roof is made of two thicknesses
of rough boards.
A liberal estimate of the lumber used
in this building places it at 1871 feet;
but suppose we allow that 1900 feet OF
lumber were used. This will cost, saw
$50, If it is of the best quality, but some
OF the lumber used is old and weather
beaten, and 1t is reported that it cost only
4 Carpenter viii build this house In
workmanlike style in less than six days
for $25.. But this house is not built in
workmanlike style at all. It is botch
from roof to foundation and no carpenter
would own 1t as his work. The door is
made of rough lumber. The nails, door,
hinges, paddock and paper would not
cost more than $40, sQ.that the entire
cost of this building, put up in work
manlike style is not more than $75 or
$50.
Now we come to the point-Our CON-
mlssioners are good business men as
proved by the management of their own
affairs, but why should they allow them
selves to be victlmized and the county
defrauded In such manner? We have
no complaint against the contractor, for
it is time honored custom to do the
poorest work and charge the biggest
prices for county work, but is this right?
Plenty Of men may be found who will
duplicate this building for SIS, yet it
costs the county and people Of Sand
Coulee $275. When money is paid out
for Improvements in our town all we
want is value of the money-we didn't
get it this time. What is the matter with
the commissioners advertising for bids
for this kind of work and then investi-
gating before the work is received.

THE VALERA LIBRARY.
BY Laws Adopted-Plenty Of Good Bool
to Read,

BY Laws Adopted-Plenty Of Good Books
to Read.
The stockholders -nf tne Valeria LII
urarY ana Art association met Saturday
evening and adopted the bylaws, which
were read by Mr.. Williams. The direc-
tors met afterward and decided to open
the library today.
Accordingly the library and reading
room ware openedtoday for the accommo-
dation Of its patrons. Following are the
principal rules ano regulations adopted
by the board OF directors, for the man
agement Of the library:
On paying the regular dues of 81 per
month, stockholders, or if heads Of fami-
lies, the immediate members thereof
shall be entitled to take out two books
from the library on giving their written
receipt or order therefor. They may re.
tain the same two weeks. Any person
who shall retain book for a longer peri
cd, unless renewed by the librarian,
shell pay q fine Of two cents for every
day it shall be so retained.
Books may be renewed for period of
two weeks at the discretion of the libra
rian.
Now stockholders can obtain the privil-
age Of using the reading-room and of
librarian as security, and in special cases
asked for may require and paying 25
cents per week, or part week as dues.
The library shall be kept open for the
delivery of books and for those entitled
to the use Of the reading room from 10 a.
m. to 4p. m. and from to Q p. m. on all
days except Sundays and legal holidays.
All books injured or lost shall be paid
for by the persons against whom they are
| charged at such rates as may be deter
mined by the board Of directors, and
every person taking book shall be held
responsible for 1t, unless he see that it is
credited to him by the librarian on his
returning 1t to the library.
Encyclopedias and other works of ref
erence, and all rare and costly works can
only be consulted in the building.
Access 10 the book shelves shall only
be allowed to members of the board Of
directors or to those holding a special
| permit from the board.
No person who has incurred fines or is
in arrears for dues shall be allowed to
take out books or use the reading room
until such fines or dues are paid.
Mr.. Williams has been busy all day at
tending to applicants for books and visi-
tors to the reading room.
The rule which limits access to the
bookshelves to trustees is proper and is
In force in all well regulated libraries.
The public are expected to select books
from the catalogues. The trustees have
general supervision of the library and on
that account are free to examine the
books. If subscribers were to select
books from the shelves many volumes
would be misplaced and people would be
in each others way.
The library has been furnished and
supplied with books without cost to the
public who are now welcome to use it at
mere trifle for working expenses. Much
credit is due to Messrs. Chowen, Webster
Theo. Gibson and others who have done
the bulk of the work so far.

man, who had just come in from the Cat
aract mining district, was standing few
feet away from the scene. He tells what
happened then in these words: "The
gentleman motioned to me for assistance.
The woman was saying at each stroke of
the whip, you are blackguard, a black
guard, blackguard, and am q mother
The gentleman's companion said, 4 am a

that could not hold her when she jerked
loose. l then put my mittens in my
pocket and caught her by the wrists and
held her. Seeing pistol in the pocket
of her sacque, motioned to the gentle
man who had been assaulted to take 1t,
which he did. Not knowing the people
l was dealing with, stepped between
the two and told the man to give me the
pistol, which he did. examined it and
found 1t to be bulldog six:shooter, but
containing no cartridges. l gave the pis-
tol back to the gentleman, who put it in
his poctet. ! then secured the whip,
which also gave to the gentleman"
Mr.. Braden suffered little physical
damage, He wore heavy ulster over
coat at the time, which projected him, 80
that, as he says, the blows were hardly
felt.
There are different versions of the
causes leading up to the assault. 1t is
said by friends Ol the Hershf1elds that
Mrs. Hershfield's attack was the direct
result of Braden's persistent attentions to
a young lady relative of the family, whom
she sought to protect They aver that
Braden has been told that his visits were
unwelcome, but that he had continued
annoying the young lady against her pro-
tests. When this had gone beyond en-
durance Mrs. Hershfield determined to
take hand In the affair and bring the
young man up with quick turn If posi-
BILE.
Mrs. Hershfeld said, in speaking of the
affair afterward: ~ regret that the mat
ter has gained any publicity, and do
not care to talk about it further than to
say WAS actuated solely by desire to
protect one very dear to me-"
Mr.. Braden empatically declined to
talk about the matter. His friends say
his version of the story is decidedly diff
ferent from that of the Hershfields. They
say that his attentions were not unwel-
come to the young lady and that Mr..
Braden had done nothing open to unfav-
orable criticism.
Mr.. Braden came to Helena from Boise
City, Idaho, In 1884. Since that time he
has been in charge of the assay Office in
this city.
