DID NOT GET TOGETHER
Only Two Members of the School
Board at the Meeting.
ADJOURNED TILL MONDAY
The Question of Bonding the District to
Be Considered-The Lincoln School
IL Unfinished and There's No
Money on Hand.

The board of education did not get
together last evening as per agree
ment. and another meeting Is called for
Monday evening. Messrs. Welcome
and MacCallum were the only members
OF the board present last evening. Clerk
Nadeau was the first to arrive. and he
had everything in readiness to proceed.
but he sat alone in the Office for a long
time wondering when he would get rid
of his cold. A Standard reporter was
the fourth member of the party. N
ne sat in DIR. Stephens chair. confident
mat ne would not have to give up the
SOFT seat to the absent member of the
board. because the doctor played ball
yesterday. n was so completely played
out that 1t was almost a sure thing that
he would not attend any kind of a
meeting last night: and he did not at
tend; neither did DIR. Mckenzie. anoth-
err victorious player. Superintendent
Stapleton did not show up either. and at
1920 O'Clock Messrs. Welcome and Mac
Callum adjourned, after instructing the
clerk to notify the other members to
meet Monday evening.
There Is an important question to be
settled by the board. and that is to call
a special election to bond the district
in the sum OF about $50, 900. There Is
not a dollar in the building fund. and
the big new Lincoln school house is far
from finished. After the old Lincoln
school burned last fall $4,000 i'm insur-
ance was received. This amount has
been expended or the new structure.
which. when completed. will cost about
$40 900. The Did building contained
eight rooms. n the new will contain
16. including the o u large basement
rooms. The need of additional school
room Is quite apparent. There will he an
increased attendance next fall of about
300 pupils.
If the board at it's meeting Monday
night authorizes the calling of a spe-
cial election, such election could not be
held before the 23d of this month. as the
law requires that public notice of cleo
tion be given for at least Is days be-
fore the date of said election. and Sum
days are not included.
Every member of the board is expect
ed to be in his seat next Monday even
ing.

Nicholas II. Connolly. whose sudden
and unexpected death occurred last sat
urday morning, was born oct. 20. 1857, at
Crossmaglen, Armagh county. Ireland.
He came TO the United States in 1865.
and to Montana in 1866, coming up the
Missouri river to Fort Benton: thence
by OK train to the mouth of Gold creek,
where he clerked in the store of his
uncle, Nicholas Connolly. the present
justice of the peace and police magA-
trate of this city. Subsequently he pur-
chased a ranch on the Hell Gate river
about two miles below Gold creek. and
for a number of years engaged in rails
ing cattle and horses and general farm
ing. Becoming tired OF rural life he
sold his stock and ranch and for a time

purchased own property Of consider

death, and to which his aged mother
will presumably succeed.
He was well educated in Ireland and
an accomplished bookkeeper and ac-
countant. having very few equals in
this respect. His was a warm friend
ship and an uncompromising enmity.
Those who knew him best loved him
best and his care. kindness and vener-
alton for his dear old widowed mother
during her old age proved his worth as
a man.
His death was so sudden and unex-
pected that IL was almost tragic. He
had just partaken of an unusually
hearty breakfast preparatory to going
to the court house. where he was work
ing as deputy assessor, when he sud-
denly fell to the floor. His mother
Immediately summoned medical aid.

brothers.

Justice Powell Takes a story With Con
siderable Allowance.
Two hoboes a few days e drifted
into Deer Lodge from the West. They
gave their name as Pinlev father and
son.. They carried a stock of ABOUT a
dozen spectacles, which they tried to
dispose of among the Deer Lodge citi-
zens. Their graft was SO coarse that it
was no time before the people got
squarely onto it, and the tramps were
arrested for vagrancy. The old man
told the court that he was trying to
make an honest living for a large fam
lily in Seattle and that he had recently
sent his wife s25, the proceeds of his
sales of spectacles: that his boy" was
with him in the capacity of assistant
salesman. The court swallowed the
story, at the same time taking a few
grains of allowance, and he sentenced
the two to Is days in the county Jail.
They were brought up by Deputy Sher-
if Schurtz. who was in Deer Lodge.
having Just taken from here Howard
and Manning, resentenced to the peni-
Tertiary.
Another a was also committed by
Justice Powell to Is days. and he ac-
companied the spectacle vendors to this

Attempted Train Robbery.

On Sunday morning. at 12:45, an at
tempt was made to rob the west bound
passenger and express train on the
Santa Fe-Pacific road at Grants, by sew.
eral dcsperadoes, but owing to the de-
termincd fight made by Express Mes
sengers Goodman and Comfort, and
Guards Feller and Morse, the attempt
failed.
When the train stopped at Grants
three men boarded the engine, cut the
express and mail cars from the rest of
the train, and compelled the engineer
to pull them down the track about a
mile and a half On trying to enter the
express car a warm reception awaited
them. and after firing number of shots
the hold-ups took to their horses and
cleared out.
This is the third time that trains have
been held up at Grants within year.
The first time the robbers were success
full and secured good sized bundle of
money, but in the other attempts no loss
was sustained by the express company.
| As VIM. Walters Is IN the United
States jail in this city, and Bill john
son was killed some two weeks ago, the
officers are at a loss to know who the
men were who made the last attempt at
train robbery.
