The teachers committee recommend
ed the engagement of Allie J. Hood and
Ollie Hall as teachers at $75 per month
each, and Margaret Fitzgerald at $50 a
month and the recommendation was
approved by the board. Miss Annie
Trevaille was elected to act as substi-
tute teacher.
Bills to the amount of S12, ,059. .e6 were
allowed and the insurance of 5000 was
renewed on the High school furniture
and of $500 on the Colorado street
building. The monthly financial report
for February showed available cash to
the amount of 61.52215. The High
School Athletic association was granted
the use of the basement in the High
school building to practice football In.
A plea from the Boulevard addition
claiming 25 pupils in that district for a
school building was referred to a spe-
cial committee to report at a special
meeting to be held next Wednesday
evening, when the matter will be con-
sidered.
1t was decided to bring before the
special meeting for consideration the
advisability of calling for more bonds
or a special tax to run the schools the
remainder of the year. The district, II
was stated, has money enough to run
until December of the next term. Ar
rangements for the coming school cleo
ton will also be made at Wednesday
nights meeting, and the advisability Of
making a change in text books will
also be considered. Professor Wylie of
Bozeman, agent for CHM & Co., was
present at the meeting last night, but
nothing was said or done on the text
book question, as the supreme court
decision has not been officially received
by the board.
Professor Kern reported that the
governor had made a present to the dis
trict of 100 guns for the use of the
High school cadets. All members of the
board except Curtis were present at the
meeting last night

THE VERDICT.
Inquest Over the Body of David Il. David
Who Was Burned to Death,

Inquest Over the Body of David Il. David
Who Was BurRed to Death.
An inquest was held yesterday over
the body of David T. Davis. whose
body was found partially burned in a
burning cabin Tuesday night. The ver-
dict was as follows: TT has been
shown that David II. Davis lost his life
on the third day of March. 1896, in
small frame cabin situated on Ohio
street. near Porphyry. The evidence
introduced at the coroner's inquest
shows the deceased and William George
had just moved a supply OF provisions
and stove into the cabin with the in
tention of living there. 1t is further
shown that they were literally supplied
with whiskey and that both drank
freely OF the same. II appears that
George left Davis at 10 or 1880 O'Clock
and that Davis was sitting on the floor
In an intoxicated condition and that a
short piece OF candle was left burning
on the window sill. 1t Is presumed that
the candle burned down to the window
sill. set II on fire and that the flame
communicated with other woodwork.
The cabin was entirely consumed by
the flames and Davis charred remains
were found in one corner after the
water had been turned on and the fire
extinguished by the fire department.
This jury finds that he came TO his
death from inhalation of smoke and
from the fire which nearly consumed
his body"
The funeral of David T. Davis will be
held at o'clock this afternoon from
the Butte undertaking rooms by the
street cars.
