Livingston, Dec. 11.-Louis Penweli,
one of william Gays attorneys, was in
the city Tuesday looking up new evil
dence upon which to base a motion for
a new trial for the condemned man.
While here he secured the affidavits of
A S. Robertson and Joseph Murray.
the former having been one of the
posse sent out to capture Gay and that
other murderer and desperate. Gross.
The defense Is trying to secure evil
dence to the effect that at the time
the posse started out 1t was tacitly
agreed to take no chances with the
outlaws. but to shoot them on sight.
The new snow and Ice ordinance
passed at the adjourned meeting of the
city council is not of very sweep
ing" character. as 1t is only applicable
to sidewalks on portions of Main. Park,
Calendar and Lewis streets 1t takes
in Park street from the Livingston no
tel to the Enterprise office, Main street
from the National bank to Marshall
Bros livery stable, Calendar street
from Alderman Mayne's residence to
the west side school house, Lewis street
from Second to the east side school
house, and the north side of the street
above Yellowstone. After each snow
fall these sidewalks must be cleaned
before o'clock in the morning, unless
the precipitation is of such an Icy ma
ture as to make 1t impossible to re-
move IT without injury to the pavement
or walk, in which event ashes or sand
must be used. The maximum penalty
for noncompliance with the provisions
of the ordinance is a fine of $40 and
costs for each offense. The new ordi-
nance is now in full force and effect,
and Chief of Police Poorman will cause
the arrest of the first individual who
refuses or neglects to comply with its
provisions.
Sheriff George T. Young made an ar
rest Monday that is but the beginning
of a crusade against the different par
ties who have made II practice OF Sc
curing their winters supply of meat
by killing range cattle to which they
have no claim. The arrest was made at
the instance of c. F. Cody, a Mission
creek rancher, the accused being Ar
thur Hoffer, who is at present engaged
in operating a hay-bailing outfit east
of the city. The charge is grand lar
ceny. Mr.. Cody accuses Hoffer of haV-
ing stolen and butchered a calf over a
year ago. Upon being arraigned be-
fore Justice Rose, the defendant plead
ed not guilty and the case was set for
hearing next Saturday. The accused
gave bonds in the sum of $500 for his
appearance, his sureties being Otto An
derson and ]. S. Hodges.
AL Lee, formerly of this city, came
over from Butte several days ago and
is said to be making arrangements for
reopening the old Mcdonnell saloon
and gambling rooms, recently closed
under attachment proceedings. Speak
ing about Mr.. Lees mission to this city,
Bob Guthrie, the local humorist, said:
Tell the Standard that Al Lee has
come back from Butte with his pock-
cts full of smoke, and will turn his
summer resort into an ice palace"
The Montana division of the North
ern Pacific sustained another loss by
fire Monday night, when a 90-foot
bridge near Grey Cliff went up in
smoke. Superintendent Finn, Road
hurried to the scene OF the confiagra-
ton and constructed new bridge in
about six hours.
Chief of Police Poorman applied to
Justice Rose Monday for a warrant
for the arrest of G. w. Barry, on a
charge Of putting out poisoned bait for
dogs. He said that Barry had pur-
chased strychnine at one of the drug
stores the day before and that within
"a hours thereafter dead dogs lay all
around Barry's yard. The justice did
not consider these facts sufficient upon
which to issue warrant upon so seri-
Gus a charge. Putting. out poisoned
bait for domestic animals is a peniten-
tiary offense, and therefore the evil
dence would have to be pretty positive
before a conviction could be secured.
Since the death several weeks ago of
Mr.. and Mrs. Gardeners two little chill

has spread to various parts of the city,
despite the precautions taken by the
board of health. At present there are

Rifles. one at Mr.. Bishops, and one at
NJ. ]. McGinnis'
Ex-Mayor Frank Beley was a bust

by a French friend who wanted the
loan of a few dollars for a few days.
Mr.. Beley, knowing the Frenchman to
be rather slow pay, though perfectly
good, suggested that he execute his
note for the amount desired. The
Frenchman did so. and this is the way
he worded the note:
For borrowed money promise to pay
Tree or four dollar in tree or four day;
But when she's due IL re money don't
bring,
Keep re paper-just same thing"
Beley & Polutnik. proprietors of the
Livingston Bottling works. are now
