r. Winfree and son, Lay, went to
Kansas City Wednesday to consult
DR.. Tiffany, a well-known oculist, of
that city, about operating on Lays
right eye that was injured by being
struck nearly two years ago with a
piece of rail, while Lay was playing
with other boys in DR.. Fuckers sta
BILE. The eye-ball had partly bursted
and an abnormal growth had form
ed on the outer side, making an ugly
disfiguration. After a consultation
with the doctor it was deemed best
to remove the acknowledgement and
not remove the ball, as a sightless
globe is preferable to an artifcialeye.
The operation was skillfully per-
formed, and with good prospects of
meeting with the desired result. DIR.
Tiffany, by the Fay. is one of the
best eye specialists in the West, and
stands in the front ranks sof his
profession.

Bill Fox, a youth about II years
of age, was arraigned in Mayor
Scott's court Monday on a charge
of being drunk and disorderly. He
pleaded guilty and was fined 81 and
trimmings, but having no money
with which to pay his fine and costs
he was put to work on the streets.
1t is a violation of law to either give
or sell minor liquor, but as Bill
Fox is a sort of "nobody's child" it
is likely no effort will be made to
learn who it was that gave or sold
him the juice that got him into trou-
BILE. Here is an opportunity foI
Keytesville's W. c. T. Q. to step to

BURGLARS IN KEYTEsSILLE.

z. W. Eordyce 6Iourns the Loss Of His Gold
Watch ard Chain and J. d. Sharpe is Tear
full over the Privation of 81 in Cash and
His New Pocket knife. Jim Norman,
COL, Loses His Shoes.
Il. W. Fordyce is the handsome
tailor connected with the Keytesville
Mercantile company, and j. d.
Sharpe is the fat guager and store
keeper at d. B. Kellogg's d:stillery.
Both young men board and room
at the Keytesville house.
Wednesday night was hot, awfullO
hot, and when Messrs. Fordyce and
Sharpe retired that night they left
the door to their room, (No. 81, open
and the window up.
While both lay asleep dreaming,
perhaps, of their best girl or of
spring chicken for breakfast, bur-
glar entered their room IN search of
booty.
Mr.. Fordyce's coat and vest were
taken out into the hall and ratified of
gold-filled watch and chain and a
fine Knights of Pythias charm.
Mr.. Sharpe's trousers were also
laid hold of which the freebooter
went through to the tune OF 81 in
silver and a new pocket, knife, for
which the owner had just paid S1.15
day or two before, and which some
of ''the boys" say he was as proud
of as boy with his first pants. The
burglar was generous enough to
leave Mr.. Sharpe his (Sharpe's) old
knife and bunch of keys belonging
to the distillery, which were found in
room No. 1 the next morning, while
the trousers were lying in the door
OF Mr.. Sharpe's room.
Jim Moorman, one of the colored
walters, had recently logged him
self out in anticipation of trip to
Fayette, and had been breaking his
new shoes. He set them out in the
hall to ''air" Wednesday night, and
it is now a question as to whether
they were absorbed by the atmos
phere or stolen by the burglar.
Several other rooms in the build
ing were also open and easily accessi
bic, but no other articles were missed
So far there has been no clue to the
thief, but it is suspected that tha
work was done by local talent.

Bob Gardner, who recently dis
turbed the peace OF attendants at
the opera house by being drunk and
using indecent language, was tried
for the second time by jury in May
or Scott's court Monday, the case
again resulting in a hung jury as at
the first trial. A strong case was
made out against the defendant,
we understand, but the usual result
of acquittal in such cases, where a
trial is had by jury, may finally be
expected, and the city multeed in
in bill of costs. Public sentiment,
SO far as juries are concerned, gener
ally sympathizes with the other fell
low and not with the city, state OF
affairs, however much to be deplored,
none the less true. ''Let no guilty
man escape" should be the motto OF
every good citizens for which he
should haze due regard whether in
or out of the jury box.

Rig BETTING WEEK.

Nearly $780, 0 Passed Through the Auc-
tion and Mutual boxes. Y
s. h. Whitehead. who managed the pool
business for the Montana State Fair asso-
citation, as we'll as at Deer Lodge. Anaconda
and Butte, says he il very we'll satisfied with
the hus,nsss dons in Helena, and expects TO
be back ksrs next season. Mr.. Whitshead's
books show that 800, 703 passed through the
auctions and $76, 795 through the Paris mu-
tuals, \ total Of SIG. 49S. Butte and Ana
conda alone exceeded this business. but at
both places the meetings were made longer.
Still, At no place was the betting as spirited
on any one race as it was here. Two days
this week auction pools ran up in the neigh
borhood Of $500 each. In no other place
did any n pool exceed $3.50. On one race
alone here there was $1,000 to be divided
among the holders of the mutuala on the
winning horse. From here Mr.. Whitehead
goes 10 Great Falls, and thence to Sacrs-
mento. George Booker, who sold action
pools here, goes to Great Falls with Mr..
Whitehead, and will probably 60 to the
coast also.
The success which attends Mr.. White
heads firm is due to two things. One is it
is strictly business; the other is no employs
is allowed to do any betting. One man who
bought mutuals here was promptly dis
charged. MIR. Whitehead carries a force of
eight men with him. Those who, have deal
ings with the mutual or auction boxes can
always 90 TO any one of the employees. if he
has a complaint. and he will be sure OF a
hearing and an investigation. That is what
the concern 30 popular, and it il
hoped the firm of 8. B. Whitehead Il Co.,
will be seen on the Montana circuit again
next year.

bsv, received yesterday by Harry w. Child.
announced the death on Wednesday last OF

A SUCCESSFUL MEETING.
Though tho Helena Races Closed in
! Rain the Association Did
Well.
Betting Was Livelier Hero Than
Anywhere Elise on the
Circuit.
The Last Days Winners Wore Flora y.
klamath, Gold Bar and Tom Mo-
Taeue's Fora.

The most successful meeting on the Hell
ens race track for many years, from = tinan-
DIAL standpoint, ended yesterday In = rain,
and tho last two races we're run between
tho drops. One thing that helped make
the meeting 90 successful was the interest
manifested in the betting, and this in no
small measure was due to tho fact that part
of the business wal entrusted to men who
mako il = business and who attend to it a.
a strict business matter. The amount of
money that passed through the boxes. auc-
tion and mutuals, was $176, 49S. This enabled
ths association and tho pool sellers both to
make money. Interest WAS added to the
sport by the really enc music furnished by
tho Boston and Montana band, under
Leader Trslar. The band IL made up of
practical miners from Butte. and the way
Shsy were treated at the grounds and in Tho
city showed how Helena and Montana peo-
pie appreciate good music. One horssnsn
was 10 struck with an air that was played
one afternoon that he dropped a gold dou-
BILE eagle into the leaders hand and told
him to have the performers drink
to his health. Az the band is a
very temperate one It will take them some
time to finish with this compliment. Leader
Trelar desires TO extend his thanks to the
public generally, to the Montana club, to
the Elks and to all others who were inter
ssted in giving the band suoh a cordial re-
ception.
The attendance at the fair grounds has
been large most Of the time, and the fall
ing OF in the last two days was due on
tirely to the state of the weather. Gus
Carleton's balloon ascension and parachute
drop only took place once, but that was the
fault of the wind and not of the boy.
CLANCY and Bob Smith led of with the
largest number Of successful mounts
among the jockeys. Each rode the winner
i've times. though CLANCY had but nine
mounts and Smith thirteen. Bustillos rode
W winners ont of eleven starts. and
Jimmy Myers two ont of Ave. Reed came
in first twice out of ak starts. Sutton and
Meyer each rode . winner once.
