oh, no. our house was on the square"

"One of the most respectable
He quit gambling about 1876, didn't
he?"
Il think about that time"
Wasn't he Mr.. Davis confidential
man from 1876 and didn't gamble after
that date?"
Il didn't see him gamble them"
AT the time MI. Talbot was engag-
ed in gambling ii was a legitimate Ii
censed business. authorized by the laws
of the territory of Montana, was it
not?"
Yes, sir"
ut was run openly? ,"
Yes, sir"
ON redirect examination Mr.. Wilson
said that he fell out with Mr.. Talbot
because Talbot owed him rent for a
gambling house in Deer Lodge. He had
written letters for it, but never got n
satisfaction. Two years ago the witness
brought suit. Mr.. Talbot did not de-
ny the debt. but quoted the statute Of
limitation. The witness did not consid-
er that a square deal, but a very dis
honest deal. He was i'm partnership with
Talbot i'm 1870 i'm Deer Lodge for about
five or six months.
Don't you know that some of Mr..
Talbott's games. after you quit him,
We're not u on the square,"
Il couldn't positively say Faro games
were usually on the square in those
DAYS. His games in Virginia City, New,
Were pretty tough"
In Deer Lodge in those days promi-
nent people pretty generally gambled
besides Mr.. Toole. did they not?'
All Western men gambled in those
days"
Without mentioning any names, isn't
1t true that a number of lawyers now
prominent in Montana gambled in those
days besides Mr.. Toole?"
"Oh, yes, certainly"
On re-cross-examination Mr.. Wilson
denied that he was ordered out of
Lange's saloon at the time of the trou-
bic. He did not see Mr.. Davis take
any drink in there. but he was at the
bar and supposed he took a drink. He
did not mean to insinuate that Mr.. Da-
Wis was drunk, or that he had taken
any more than one drink. The witness
said he knew Mr.. Talbot had owned
mining claims during the past 2s years.
against which judgment might have
been He knew that he was
badly involved when constructing the
Silver Bow mill. He did not think Mr..
Talbot had ever Endorsed his note for
money. He had. however. obtained
money at the First National bank on
his note and had paid the obligation.
Mr.. Talbot was not doing much min
ing when engaged in gambling. and, i'm
fact, never was a practical miner. He
had done some placer mining.

RELIEF EXPEDITION
Judge Clancy and Party Said to
Be in Great Distress.
THE LAST JUG WAS BROKEN
The Accident Causes CONSERVATION in
the Gang-They Fear a Slow. Tor
turing Death, With No So
ace in Sight.

An expedition is being organized in
Butte to go to the relief Of the Clancy
gang. which was last heard Of at Hen
rvs lake. a short distance from the
national park. The members Of the
gang were then in sore distress and i'm
danger of great suffering from the nee
essaries of life. as the last jug of II had
been accidentally broken and its con-
tents were lost. A letter received by a
friend from Tug Wilson states hat
they had not yet fully recovered from
the shock and horror caused by the
loss.
1T simply paralyzed us writes Mr..
Wilson. Starvation and death stared
us in the face. The horror Of a slow,
tcrturing death from starvation was
horrible to contemplate. With a wag-
on-Ioad of provisions, and prosperous
ranchers all around us, and yet
with nothing with which to
condition to confront a man. No
one can imagine the horror Of it unless
he has had a similar experience. We
had a two-gallon jug left when we went
into camn here. but the aNe-handle
expert dropped II on a rock. n in an
~i~@tant there reuaincd nothing of the
contents but a m and the soulful
perfume that came from the spot where
the Jug fell. We Camped on the sacred
spot as long as the rock and earth
gave back the faintest odor of h lie
sustaining fragrance, and then we pre-
pared to move sadly inward. The keg
of annie brandy still remains with US
orr only hope and solace-but the Judge
declares IL will not be tanned until we
reach .Jackson's Hole. which is at least
a week off. If he maintains his deter
mination we will never reach there
alive. We also lost our cake of soap,
but a man can't drink soap, anyway,
SO we will not miss that much. Inc
nudge tells a story about "A man IN
Missouri drinking soft soap. but the
story doesn't sound all right. ! can I
understand how the man happened To
get so near to the soap. ! rear

have all our groceries and canned
goods. The others now begin to realize
that a mistake was made in overload
ing our team with that kind OF truck
and thereby crowdinC out actual neces-
saries Of life. Up to the time OF the
accident we were all in good Spirits
and in good health. The judge never
looked better. and he has been ENJOY

pno1ocRAeHlNc FROM THE SKY
Progress In Taking Pictures by the Use
of Kites.

From Appleton's Popular Science
Monthly.
Probably the most striking thing in
recent kite flying is the making Of pho
t%ographic views by a camera in the sky,
horne up by kites. William \. Eddy has
claimed To be the pioneer in his field,
having taken views from kites on May
50. 1895. while Messrs. q. 7. Woglom
and George +. Henshaw of New York
city claim that the first picture from a
camera sustained by kites was made by
them on the afternoon Of Sept, p, fol-
lowing.
There are several ways In which a
camera could he carried up operated
from terra hrma. Mr.. Eddy sends II up
with it's bearer attached to the strings
of as many as three kites. The appar-
atus consists simply of two spars about
the length of a trout rod and Of about
its size at the butt. the end Of one spar
being Joined firmly 10 the middle of
the other, and on this junction the cam
era is mounted. A cord looped along the
trunk line controls the sfide of the
camera. Many excellent pictures have
been made by these means.
Kites have been used also for send
ing up colored lights for signaling.
while by an ingenious use Of "A large
and somewhat modified camera views
of objects at a distance have been pre-
sented to observers on the ground, when
such objects would have been otherwise
invisible to them. Thus the operation
constitutes a sort of artificial mirage.
which. very likely. will not always be
without Its uses.
