AN UNEXPECTED END.
Milton c. Vale Dies Very Suddenly This
Morning.

Milton C. Vale died at Billiards. place
at s o'clock this morning, and the cir
cumstances surrounding his death are
most peculiar. Shortly before his de-
mise he entered the brewery and asked
Mr.. Bullard il there was anything he
could do, and on being informed that
there was not, he took a seat on reclin-
ing chair in the north end Of the build
ing. and started to read the paper. No
particular attention was paid to him un-
til the arrival Of Mr.. Doyle, who came
in about ten minutes after Vale, and see.
ing Vale nodding as if sleeping. remark
ed that Vale was taking it pretty easy
this morning. Mr.. Bullard, who was
writing at the desk paid do attention to
to the remark at the time, but shortly
afterward turned around, and saw that
Vale's mouth was open. with no outward
signs of respiration. Mr.. Bullard went
over to where he was seated, and gave
him shake, only to ascertain that Vale
had breathed his last.
Coroner Gibb was summoned and de-
cided, after taking the evidence of Mr..
Billiard, that an inquest was not neces-
sary. and that the body might be in
tered as soon as his friends deemed fit
which will probably be late this after
noon Or tomorrow morning.

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees
of the State Reform School held this
2Gth day of October 1893. the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the bids for furnishing
Coal to the State Reform School for the
ensuing year, be based upon the meas
urement Of the loads hauled. without
being weighed; that is to say. wagon
box of certain dimensions shall be fully
loaded with coal and then weighed. and
thereafter coal, il delivered in wagon
box of same dimensions. shall be esti-
mated as to quantity by a comparison
with the said load so weighed, and the
amount OF coal SO delivered shall be de-
termined from such comparison. The
estimate to be made by the person in
charge OF said Reform School.
This resolution was made for the
reason that Coal can be delivered at the
Reform School building at much less
rate than il hauled to Miles City for
weighing.

y" Tambien Easily Defeats Lamplighter.

CHICAGO. Oct. 29-.Yo Tambien wins.'
The grand howl of joy went up from ten
thousand throats at Hawthorne yester-
day as the magnificent mare went under
the wire in the one and one eighth mile
race. with Lamplighter something less
than a block behind when the time
keepers snapped at 2:01sl. The great
triangular race between the two horses
named and Clifford had been postponed.
as the latter's owner thought the track
too slow for his colt The postponement
was far from pleasing to the people who
had gone to the track to see this particu-
lar race, and it was finally decided to let
Yo Tambien and Lamplighter go one
and one-eighth miles as the fourth race
on the card, for purse of $500 and en-
trance fees of 81 900 each.
Lamplighter had many hearty sup
porters, but they were in the minority.
Betting on Yo Tambien was seven to ten,
while Lamplighter was readily taken at
even money. Shortly before $50 Lamp
lighter. with Fred Tarral, 115 pounds up.
came past the grand stand and was
greeted with rousing cheers. A moment
later roar of applause greeted Yo Tam
bien, under Sammy Doggett, Fat same
weight.
Promptly at $50 the red flag went
down and the two great runners started.
AS they flashed past the grand stand
YoTambien was half length ahead and
stayed there all the way round. At the
half Lamplighter got nearer the leader,
but the gain was more than lost in the
stretch. As Yo Tambien neared the
wire she drew further and further away
from the Eastern crack, until at the fin
ish there was fully three lengths be.
tween the two horses.
