was given his last Christmas dinner
to-day and Sheriff Mclaughlin spared
no effort to make IL a veritable ban
quet. The doomed man ate heartily,
apparently approaching the meal and
thoroughly enjoying the little extra at
tention given him by the sheriff. He
refuses to discuss the crime for which
he is to suffer the death penalty, and
naturally is reticent regarding his APP
preaching execution. That he will not
weaken at the last moment is pretty
certain, as he has enough Indian blood
in his veins to remain firm to the last
A high board fence has been con-
structed around the gallows at the
side of the county Jail and only a linn
tied number will be present to witness
the affair. The death watch remain
with the prisoner day and night and
he cannot move without his every ac-
ton being witnessed by the guard. A
thorough search of the cell to-day
showed that there was absolutely noth-
ing in the cage by which the prisoner
can injure himself. Cadotte sleeps
well and devotes the greater part Of
his time to walking up and down the
cell when he Is not on his couch.
Everything is now ready for the exc
cution, which will probably occur as
soon after o'clock Friday morning
as possible.

Alas! Poor Cupid Il Dead.

Great Falls, Dec. 25.-"Cupid," the pet
dog of Mr.. and Mrs. Paris Gibson, died
yesterday afternoon at a ripe old age,
and as a result there is sorrow In the en-
tire household of the Gibson family.
cupid" was an intelligent brute and was
one of the old-timers, having come to this
city with Mr.. Gibson when the town was
first located. Everybody knew and petted
the dog and the intelligent animal knew
everybody and was glad to see them-as
long as they didn't lay their hands on Mr.
Gibson or anything that belonged to him.
He was faithful to his master. and when
the latter packed his grip for journey
cupid" made himself conspicuous by ut
tering a protest in sounds of anguish that
could be heard a block. Mr. Gibson feels
that he has lost faithful dumb friend in
the death of the dog. and the same feel
ing obtains among every member of the
family, from grandfather to grandchild.
In the classic language of Phil Gibson:
OF all the dogs he was the best,
And now that he is laid to rest,
A weeping willow at his head
Doth testify that he Is dead.

All weep that Cupid" is no more.
He has gone to the happy hunting
grounds.

FREE DELIVERY.
Great Falls Asks For q system of Mail
Carriers and Better Facilities.


Carriers and Better Facilities.
Great Falls. Dec. PA strong and
united effort should be made to have the
postoffice department establish a free de-
livery system of mail matter in this city
at an early date. The business OF the
Great Falls postoffice justifies recogni-
ton of this character from the govern
ment and numerous suburban villages
make. 1T absolutely necessary that the ia
cilities for handling mail be increased as
soon as possible.
The appointment of six carriers would
enable the postmaster to cover the city
proper with prompt delivery of mail and
the system could be satisfactorily ex-
tended to the West Side, Little Chicago.
Little Milwaukee and the b. & M. addi-
ton. Postmaster Wagner should also be
allowed a night clerk to distribute the
mail that arrives at o'clock in the
morning from Helena, Butte, Anaconda
and intermediate points, and to make up
the early mail fc- the southbound train
and for Sand Coulee, Belt, Neihart, Lew
istown and the Judith country. The
present force is overworked and for that
reason the service is not what IL should
be. This office Is the distributing point
for vast area of territory and If the Of
flee force is inadequate to perform the
work the service is necessarily poor.
If proper steps are taken by the board
of trade and chamber of commerce to
call the attention of Senators Carter and
Mantle and Congressman Hartman to the
fact that Great Falls is entitled to car
rier service, and that additional clerks
are needed at the postoffice to give the
people efficient and prompt mall service.
there is little doubt but that the influence
of these gentlemen will secure to this
city what she is so badly in need of at
the present time.

A Rich Deal For the County.

Great Falls, Dec. 25.-Several days ago
James Kennedy was sent to the county
Jail by Judge Lee of Kibbey for stealing
several bottles of liquor from John Con-
sior of Monarch. Gonsior is constable for
the township in which Monarch is located
and is also a saloon keeper. Gonsior was
the complaining witness against Kennedy
in the district court late yesterday after
noon.
While examining the case County At
torney Freeman Investigated the county
treasurer's license list and failed to find
Gonsior's name thereon. As result OF
this investigation the complainant. Con
sior, was Immediately arrested on the
charge of running a ''blind pig'-selling
liquors without a license. He pleaded
guilty TO the charge and paid the fine
and costs. amounting to about So in ad-
dition to the license. costing him $50
more, so that the county is ahead more
than 500 on that stolen liquor. Gonsior is
also likely TO get into deep water with
the government. as IL is alleged he had
no government license to engage in the
saloon business. Kennedy. who stole the
whiskey from Gonsior. was given his lib
