PAYING FOR THE ELK
Heavy Fines Imposed Upon the
Thoughtless Hunters.
ONE MAN WILL PROTEST 1T
An Ordinance VIII Be introduced
Prohibiting Boys OF Tender Age
From Roaming About Town
After 9 O'Clock p. m.

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Bozeman, Dec. 5.-The three young
men who were arrested here the last or
the week for shooting an elk were tried
before Judge Stevenson, Joseph La
Plant pleading guilty to the charge, ana
a fine OF 5000 was imposed. Mr.. La
Plant has 10 days in which to appeal,
and will not pay his fine until he has
done everything in his power to have
the same remftted, hoping that, owing
to his innocence of any intention to do
wrong and the rather complicated con-
iition of the game law at present, he
may be shown some leniency by the
higher powers of the state. Should he
find this impossible, however. he will
probably appeal the case TO the SUI
rreme court.
At the meeting of the city council
here Thursday evening notice was CIV
en- that an ordinance would be present.
ed at the next meeting, two weeks from
Thursday, to prohibit young boys from
remaining upon the streets after the
hour of 8 O'Clock in the evening. This
ordinance was recommended by CHIEF
of Police A. j. Edsall, his idea being TO
ring the "curfew bell" at every even
ing and no boy under Is or 16 years OF
age to be allowed upon the streets
after that hour excepting he have some
business requiring his presence out OF
doors after that hour. This move Is
thought advisable, owing to Bozeman's
rapidly coming to the front as an edu-
cational center. The necessity of this
move is plain to one who is out late at
night and sees the many boys loafiing
around, even as late as IL O'Clock at
night. The president of the college
here and the college board have been
taking great pains to see that students
of this institution are In their rooms at
a seasonable hour, and especially 70
see that no student shall enter a saloon,
under any circumstances, and their
watchful care has been such that this
ordinance Is made necessary, as apply
ing to the boys of the city.

fradict them. Newspapers, like the
individual, make mistakes. They fall
ofttimes into error, and perhaps. with
this fact before us, we would gladly
erase some things said and would be
pleased to rewrite others. But the past

MRS. NANCY BATES ATKINSON
Her Death Recalls Many Pioneer Expert
ences In Oregon.

Mrs. Nancy Bates Atkinson. widow
OF the late Rev. George II. Atkinson.
the pioneer Congregational missionary
and minister of the Northwest, died at
her home in Portland Sunday. Mrs.
Atkinson had been an invalid for sew
eral years and her advanced age made
death seem probable at almost any
time; but the final summons came most
Unexpectedly. She was about so years
of age and perfectly conscious until
the last
Mrs. Atkinson arrived in Oregon In
1S43 with her husband, and they were
the first ITO establish the Congregation
al church in this portion of the United
States. Up to the time OF her hus-
bands death. Feb. %, 1889, she was
closely identified with his work. and to-
gether they succeeded In carving a
place In the history of the upbuilding
of the Northwest that few have at
tained. says the Oregonian.
Mrs. Atkinson's maiden name was
Miss Nancy Bates, and she was born
In the village of Springfield, VT. She
was married to Mr.. Atkinson at her
native place Oct. s. 1886, and one year
later. In October. 1S47, she took passage
on a sailing vessel at Boston for a trip
around Cape Horn for Oregon, to en-
gage in missionary work under the
auspices of the Congregational Home
Missionary society. The vessel carried
them as far as the Hawaiian islands
only. where they were destined to walt
three months for a ship destined for
old Fort Vancouver. They finally
reached Oregon in June, 1S4s. and set-
tied at Oregon City.
At Oregon City Rev. Mr.. Atkinson
established the first Congregational
church in the Northwest, and with his
wife, was ever after known as the pi-
oneer Congregational missionaries Of
the country. They remained at Oregon
City Is years. when they came TO this
city. where Rev. Atkinson had estab-
lfshed the First Congregational church,
the site for which ne selected himself.
He was pastor of the church for eight
years. when he resigned THE pastorate
to become superintendent of the Con-
gregational Home Missionary society
for oregon and Washington, which po-
sition he filled until the time OF his
death.
Rev. and Mrs. Atkinson had six chill
dren born Ito them. three OF whom died
in early childhood, and another, DR..
George H. Atkinson. who died at the
age of IS years. in New York City. Dec.
"a. 1884. where he had practiced his
profession Of a physician for IL years.
He had won an enviable reputation
and his death which resulted from
blood poisoning, was greatly regretted
by the medical profession. Mrs. War
rem. wife OF Frank NJ. Warren, of 2l3
West Park. the we'll known salmon
packer of this city, and Edward Atkin-
son, the attorney. are the surviving
children.
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral. The remains will be
inferred in the family lot In Riverview
cemetery. where Rev. Atkinson was
buried.

DENvER'S MINING CRAZE.
Dealing In shares That Are Not Worth
the Paper They Are Printed On.

the Paper They Are Printed On.
Denver Special: To-day 80 brokers
were in the pit at the mining stock
exchange trying to buy stocks for their
customers at hist prices. They failed
to fill their orders. The demand was
confined ITO THE cheap stocks, whose
quotations are from a half cent to two
cents a share. Prices were not forced
up by this buying demand because 1t
Is understood that these stocks have
no intrinsic value. 1t In understood
that there are more cheap stocks to be
had just as soon as the printing presses
can run the paper through.
Six more mfhlion-dollar mining COM
panies were incorporated to-day, and IL
is safe TO say they were organized up
on the expectation that the sbock-pur-
chasing element w!dl continue 10 buy.
and not upon anticipations that the
property will develop dnto something
good n the demand for these cheap
stocks equals or exceeds the supply
constantly thrown upon the market,
the stocks will advance; otherwise the
certificates will never be a profitable
speculation. Many thousands of dol
lars wili be sunk in these gold stocks
of Cripple Creek. where the property
involved consists merely in locations
without patent titles. and which has
not even an assay certificate to prove
a profitable future value. The mass
of inquiries shows that the desire TO
invest cannot be checked by warnings,
and the only thing the public can do is
to await the inevitable day of retribu-
tfon.
Against all warnings the argument Is
circulated that many of those cheap
stocks a few months or even weeks
ago were quoted and cold at one-half
their present price. and that they will
an advance several cepts In the early
future. Chicago and other Eastern
cities are now getting daily quotations
from Cripple Greek stocks to accom-
moda1e brokers who are already be-
ginning 20 flood their respective terri
tories with seductive descriptive mat
ter relating Ito the great gold camp.
This remark was heard to-day:
1--WE will I'LL those goldbugs fun OF
gold mining stocks before spring.
II the printing presses continue TO
run. the chances are good for a fulfill
ment of this promise. That there are
legitimate investment gold stocks in
the Cripple Greek field there Is no
doubt. but the present crying demand
for cheap stocks gives abundant oppor-
tunsty for raScaltty. Some Of the cheap
stocks are honestly put on rhe market.
and the money Obtained VIII be spent
in developing the ground. but whether
the develOpment Will result In finding
gold Is a question. This view OF tire
Cripple Greek stocks is understood in
Colorado. but may not be known in the
East. where many people are asking
for information and making Invest
ments in gold stocks.
