Miles City, Mont, May 1S.-Christian
Mouw, a member of the band at Fort
Keogh. came to town Saturday night and
after filling up on booze took a room over
Professor Bach's Tivoli saloon, where he
took a dose of Rough on Rats. He was
discovered at o'clock on Sunday. No
cause can be attributed except disap-
pointment in receiving s., 500 from the old
country, which, from letters found on
him, is expected here about the 18th. He
was a very quiet, inoffensive gentleman,
who has been in the band for the past 10
years. He was formerly from Holland.
He leaves no relatives in this country;
has a brother in Holland, two sisters and
a brother in Australia '~
Through the intervention of Myers e.
Osborn, attorneys. Judge Milburn grant
ed a writ of habeas corpus which made
Charles Lamont free man. He was sem
fenced for adultery by Justice l.. A.
Berge from Forsyth to six months and TO
pay a fine of $500 and costs. The commit
ment being defective he was discharged.
The Fort Keogh and Miles City base
ball club played an interesting game
yesterday, Fort Keogh winning by score
of 10 to 3.
County Treasurer Truscott received
word to-day from Deputy Thurman, who,
with a posse, is now on the Crow reserva-
for payment of taxes, that he had about
5000 head gathered and was now camped
near Bull mountains. Many of the smaller
outfits have paid taxes since the outfit
started out. The three larger ones, the
Hurlbert Cattle company. Ok Yoke Cattle
company and Custer Cattle company have
furnished bonds. 1t seems foolish for
some outfits to still buck the county,
which is supported in it's stand by the
United States circuit court at San Fran
cisco, but 1t must now be hard to pay
after several years of a soft snap.
The dispatch from Washington regard
ing the battle on Tongue river between
settlers and the Cheyenne Indians is
much overestimated and nothing was
known of IL here until the article was seen
in the papers. Inquiry at Fort Keogh
ELECTED information that the usual I'M
easy spring feeling appears among many

amount to anything from it.
All the troops at Fort Keogh were out

MINERS In SESSION
The Objects of the Federation Meeting
Held In Denver.
SOME MATTERS DISCUSSED
A Proposition to Build Home for
the Veterans he Unions in
Montana hepresented-A
Large Gathering.
SOME MATTERS DISCUSS

: News received from the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners in session last week at
Denver. Col, shows that the gathering is
very successful. The Montana unions rep
resented were Butte. Sand Coulee, Clan
cey. Winston. Belt. Black Pine and Ha-
eel The Idaho unions represented were
wardner. Gem. Yellow Jacket, Burke,
and Mullan. Reports showed that MEM
bership and funds on hand had IN
creased materially during the year. No
serious trouble had occurred during the
year between the miners and their en-
ployers. In all cases of difficulty arbitra-
ton had been resorted to and had proved
very satisfactory to both sides. The most
serious trouble of the year was at Belt,
Mont This matter was settled in sat
isfactory manner.
AT joint meeting of the federation and
of the Denver Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, strong declaration was made in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at a ratio of 16 to /. Speeches
were made by Rev. Myron w. Reed, ex-
Governor Waite, Senator E. Boyce of
Idaho, John F. Mcdonnell of Virginia
City, l.. w. Rogers of the Colorado State
Federation OF Labor and William Phelps
of Victor
On Sunday the delegates attended SER
vice at the Broadway Temple, presided
over by Rev. Myron w. Reed.
The principal work before the fedora
ton is the adoption of a constitution. and
that is about finished. One important
matter is fixing the salary of the gem
eral organizer. The Federation pays the
transportation of delegates 10 the con-
vention and the local unions pay them IS
per day for expenses.
One important proposition which was
discussed was that Of erecting a home
for invalid miners 1t was concluded to re-
fer the matter to local unions before de-
Gliding definitely. All miners will have an
opportunity of expressing their views on
this matter and each local union will
take vote on the proposition. Their va
rious decisions will be referred to the
executive committee and II a majority
favor building the home ground will be
purchased and the building will be begun
at once.
The federation will probably adjourn
on Wednesday.

Livingston, May 1S.-The placer mining
inaugurated by Newton Bailey on the
Yellowstone within a stones throw of
Livingston bids fair to develop into quite
an excitement Bailey has made a clean
up and the result is nearly an ounce of
gold. This is the return for about three
days work. 1t is figured that the dig
gings which he has found will pay SO to
81 per day. Bailey is of the opinion that
better diggings will be found farther
down the stream. This belief is based
upon the fact that all the dust secured is
flake gold. and consequently floats easily
and in this way is being constantly car
ried down the river by every high water
which submerges the bars The pay dirt
is found where it has lodged upon the
upper points of the reefs when the waters
have subsidized. These places are not nu-
merous enough nor the dirt rich enough
to justify any great stampede. but fair
wages can be made by those who are will
ing to work.

Washington, May 1s.-In reply to some
questions addressed through the Rev.
DIR. Stofford of Washington. ID. c., to
Cardinal Gibbons, the cardinal has sent
the following letter:
4 Baltimore, Md, May I7-My Dear Sir:
1t is the duty of the leaders of the politi-
Gal parties to express themselves without
any equivocation of the principles of re-
ligi6us freedom which underlie our con-
stitutiona Catholics are devoted to both
the great political parties of the country,
and each individual is left entirely to his
own conscience. We are proud to say that
in the long history of the government
the great Catholic church has never used
nor perverted its acknowledged power by
seeking to make politics subserve its
own advancement. Moreover, IL is our
proud boast that we have never interfer-
ed with the civil and political rights of
any who differ from us in religion. We
demand the same rights ourselves, and
nothing more, and will be content with
nothing less. Not only is IL the duty of
all parties to distinctly set their faces
against the false and un-American prin-
ciples thrust forward of late, but much
as / would regret the entire Identification
of any religious body as such, with any
political party, / am convinced that the
members of religious body whose
rights, civil and religious, are attacked,
will naturally and unanimously spouse
the cause of the party which has the
courage openly to avow the principles of
civil and religious liberty according TO
the constitution. Patience is a virtue. But
ii is not the only virtue. When pushed
too far IL may degenerate into pusilani-
nifty. Yours faithfully,
James Cardinal Gibbons"
