TO BUILD 4 NEW FOOT BRIDGE
At Foot of Willow Path, East RocI1-St
 Deciiled hy Park Cnm m ssinn.


 The park commissioners at their meeting last night voted to authorize the committee on East Rock park to contract for the erection of steel foot bridge over Mill river to take the place of the Wooken structure at the foot of Willow path. The new footbridge is to be an S4-foot span, five feet in width, and will cost about $1,0oo. Plans, which have been prepared by Engineer A. E. Hill, were submitted last night and were looked over by the members of the commission
 Under the new charter the mayor is president ex-officio of the park commission, and since the passage of the charter Mayor Farnsworth has presided at the meetings, having been elected president by the commission. The charter also provides that the pres ident of the park commission shall meet with the mayors cabinet at it's monthly meetings. Mayor Farnsworth last night called the attention of the commissioners to this fact and sug- gested that it would be well to provide for the park commission being repre- sented at the meeting of the heads of departments. The mayor resigned his position as president of the board in order that some one else might be se- lected who could attend the cabinet meetings as a member of the commits sion. The commission acted in &C., cordance with the suggestion and elect ed Judge Simeon F. Baldwin president with the understanding, however, that Mayor Farnsworth should continue to preside at the meetings until the end of the present year, while Judge Bald win will attend the cabinet meetings as representative of the board.
 It was reported that the work of widening @ portion of Farnam drive in East Rock park had been completed, and that Mrs. Henry W. Farnam had paid the expense of the work, about $700. A vote of thanks to Mrs. Farnam was passed by the board.
 The committee on finance was in- structed to confer with the board of finance in reference to the appropria- ton for the park board for the coming year.
 Reports were read from the commit tees on EaSL ROCK park, West Rock park, Bay View park, Water street park, Fort Hale park and Fort Wooster park. It was reported that there had recently been cases in which visitors to East Rock park had picked flowers and ferns, and it was decided to instruct the superintendent of the park and the special officer stationed there to report any parties violating the rule against picking flowers in the parks with a view to their prosecution. It was also reported that the work of filling-in at Water street park is progressing rapid ly and that the park would soon be ready to SOW with grass seed.
 It was stated that it has been neces- sary to spend this year the greater part of the appropriation for West Rock park in repairing roadways dam aged by washouts. The repairing of washouts in Fort Wooster park has al- so cost considerable.
 It was voted to offer reward of s10 for information that would lead to the conviction of the parties who stole the signs and seats in Fort Hale and Fort Wooster parks.

LIVING OFF THE REFUSE
Cree Indians Find Means of Sub
sistence in the City Dumps.
MAY BECOME A BURDEN
They Want to Give a War Dance and
the G. A. R. May Take Hold of
the Enterprise and Help
Them Out.

The Cree Indians are with us again,
the same gang which fed on Butte all
last winter. They seem to have estab-
lished a reservation OF their own;
namely, the city dump. which is getting
to be known as the Cree reservation.
1t will be remembered how last year
the people of Butte turned in wholesale
contributions to keep the Indians from
starving. The restaurants sent in their
refuse provisions, the grocery stores
sent in groceries and other clothing,
blankets, stoves and innumerable sup
plies were contributed. Great wagon
loads of all kinds Of stnff We're sent by
the city out to the Indian camp. and
they got ii just in time, for they were
on the verge of starving.
The fear was expressed that If the
Indians were taken care of then they
would make themselves a permanent
care on Butte. They know a good thing
when they see it and hate to lose it. 1t
is not believed that they went very far
away from Butte at any time during
the summer but could be seen at al
most any time camped somewhere be-
tween the city and Lloyd's ranch.
The Indians have not yet appealed for
aid from the city, but one can easily
see the finish. Those who have been
out to the camp say the Indians have
accumulated very little during the
summer and Will soon be entirely deSti-
tute. Their main source of supply at
present is the city dump. Loads of gar
bage which daily are carted from res
taurants. hotels and private residences
of Butte to the dump are induStriously
searched by the Crees and nothing eat
able escapes them; in fact, they eat
with gusto what would turn the stom-
ach of any white man. They also hang
around the slaughter houses and pick
up the refuse thrown out to them.
While the Indians have not yet asked
for aid, some of their braves were in
town few days ago and went to the
mayor for permission to give war
dance in Butte. They said they would
have to make money to help them
through the winter, or they would
again be a burden on the city They
thought they could get big crowd to
their dances and make enough money
to keep them until spring. The mayor
referred the matter to the council. and
the council placed it on file, which is
practical refusal
A new proposition is now on foot. en-
gineered by local members of the G. A.
r. The G.. A. r. wants some more beds
for the Soldiers Home at Columbia
Falls. They need about ten beds and
they cost SIS a piece. The old soldiers
propose to get the Crees to give their
dances at the Auditorium and divide
the receipts with them. The G.. a. X.
could of course sell more tickets than
the Indians could sell, and thus while
the Indians would make as much or
more than they could possibly make in
an entertainment of their own, the old
soldiers would make money enough to
equip the home with beds The matter
has not yet been decided on.

PANAMA KID KILLED
AL Courtney, Formerly of Butte.
Shot Him at Henry's Lake.
HIS REAL NAME UNKNOWN
Both Belonged to a Gang of Poachers
Who for Years Have Been Killing
Elk and Buffalo in the Yellow
stone National Park.

Deputy United States Marshal Meikle-
john received letter yesterday from
lieutenant Elmer Lindsey of the Vel
aowstone National park, stating that Al
Courtenay, formerly of Butte, had shot
and killed the Panama Kid at Henry's
lake few days ago. The men are all
members of the Henry's lake gang of
poachers, and it is claimed that for
years they have been killing elk and
buffalo in the National park. Courtenay
was arrested in Butte a year ago on
charge of killing buffalo in the park and
was tried but escaped conviction. The
Panama Kid whose real name is UNI
known was well known among hunters
around Henry's lake and was very
handy with his gun. The details of the
shooting have not been received.

APPEAL OF AIoPekA GIL
Asks Others to stop Offering Liquor TO
Young Men.

Ashs oAuers 10 stop ODeItHS Ht1"0A ~
Young HIeD.
Lead them not into temptation" is
the cry of Miss Olivia Van Tassel, a
leader in Topeka society, who has
created a sensation by declaring that
the young society women of the town
are Turing young men to ruin by offer
ing them drink when they come into
their homes. Miss Van Tassei charges
the downfall of one young man to this
custom, and she has made an appeal to
the society women of Topeka to put
away their wine decanters and assist
in saving the young men from drunk
ards graves. She says:
II think 1t is just awful the way wine
is served to young men by some OF the
society women of Topeka. One young
man has been ruined by this practice
and others are on the road to ruin.
These society young women are respon-
sible for their downfall. 1t is amazing
that so many of the young women of
this town do not object TO the young
men drinking liquor and it is still more
shocking to know. that many of the
young women drink liquor themselves.
Miss Van Tassel will carry her war
into the churches and will appeal to the
parents to throw the nasty stuff into
the cutters.

An old idea, originated by some one of

give an evenings entertainment, for the

ances, of scenes from Miss Austen's novels.
These require no set scenery, but an ar
rangement of furnishings after the style of
a century ago will make the most effective
background. OF course, the quaint and Pc

also help to carry off the performance. Aft
