FOR A RACE MEETING.
Citizens OF Havre Preparing to Enjoy
Some Good Sport.


Great Falls, Aug. 22.-The citizens of
Havre, with their characteristic enter
prise, are arranging for race meeting
this fall and the subscription paper
which has been circulated during the
past week has already gathered about
$1,000, or possibly more. Charles How
ell, John Bailey and James Fenton
ing the good work, and better men
could hardly be found. While the meet
ing will be given up mostly to horse
racing, both harness and running races
appearing on the programme, it is also
the purpose to make the occasion one
of general field sports in order that the
taste of every visitor may be pleased,
and there will be bicycle racing, field
contests, football and a baseball
game in addition to the track events.
The amount already subscribed guar
antees the offering of the largest purses
ever put up in Choteau county for
like occasion. and judging from in
quries received by the committee the
meeting will have more than local
interest Letters have been received
from the horsemen of Cascade, Valley,
Teton and Fergus counties in addition
to those from Choteau county and there
are likely to be many visiting horses
and their owners. The track is now
being put in first-class condition and
the programme will be announced at an
early date, while the meeting will prob
ably be held early next month.

NORDQUlST RELEASED.
Man Accused of Grand Larceny Is Finally
Set at Liberty.

Great Falls, Aug. 20.-Charles Nord-
quist who has been lying in Jail for
several days on a charge of grand lar
ceny, was turned loose on Saturday
He was accused of having taken check
originally issued to his brother-in-law,
George Olden, and converting it into
cash. His story, as previously told,
was that his brother-in-law sent it to
him to cash. in a letter. From the evil
dence given on Saturday afternoon 1t
appeared that he was innocent that If
any theft had been committed it must
have been done by Olden. Judge Race
settled the matter by discharging Nord-
quist on his promise to turn back TO
Smith the proceeds of the note. less the
costs of the action, $13. Nordquist is
out just IS, which he paid to Mrs.
Gonsior at Barker for her kindness in
cashing the check for him. As he was
on his way toward the East his arrest
has merely detained him a few days.
and though the lesson was a tough one
in some respects, it is likely to prove
salutary one and entails not extreme
hardship on the young man.

was broken above the elbow, his hand
remaining all of this time in a semi-
paralyzed condition. He sought the
county physician and the latter dis
covered that the shoulder had been dis
located in the accident Of a year before
and was still out of place. After con-
sultation it was decided that in view Of
the age of the patient it would be I'M
wise to attempt an operation to set
the matter right. and the only thing
left for Patterson was to suffer in
silence. Patterson accepted their dag

a cripple for the rest of his days, no
matter how few they might be- CDnse-
quently one night this week he man

He is now free from pain and is rap dly

Civil War Discussion Ends in n Serious
Combat.
Great Falls, Aug. 22.-About half past
two this morning Edward Whittengen
and Carl Cronin became engaged in a
fight about the war between the North
and South and discussing the relative
merits of the men engaged on either
side. Cronin apparently did not care
very much about the matter from a
personal standpoint, as he is a native of
Sweden, but just to please Whittengen
consented to argue with him. Each
side, perhaps, was not very well repre-
scented. for it ended up in some clinches.
Cron!n said that Swedes would not live
in the South, for they were free men,
and Whittengen replied that there was
very good reason for it, because the
southerners would not have Swedes
around them. Then they called each
other names and pretty soon were roll
ing on the floor. Just then Officer Ho-
gan came into. the place, which was a
saloon on First avenue south, and ar
rested both of them. Cronin was found
to have a bad cut in the throat, and in
the cuSpidor was found a bloody razor
with Whlttengen's name on the handle.

He MAY BE TRIED
FOR HERESY
A Voluminous Report on the McGiffert
Case Referred to Next General
Assembly.

New'York, Nov. 13.-The case of Pro-
lessor Arthur McGiffert of the Union
Theological seminary, who is charged
with holding views that are at vari-
ance with the doctrine of the Presby-
terrain church, came before the presby-
terry to-day and was referred to the
general assembly. A committee was
appointed last June to confer with Pro-
fessor McGiffert and prevail upon him
to withdraw from the church or at least
modify his views. Meetings have been
held which Professor McGiffert attend
ed, but he steadfastly refused to recede
from the stand he had taken on GER
tain church matters saying that he had
been misunderstood.
The general assembly prepared ex-
pressly for Professor McGiffer's case an
outline of the fundamental principles Of
the church. These are:
One-That the statements of the holy
scriptures are absolutely truthful, j. e.,
free from error when interpreted in
their natural and intended sense.
Two--That in Jesus Christ there were
two whole, perfect and distinct natures,
the Godhead and manhood being INSOFAR
ably Joined together in one person with
was in no particular liable to error.
Three-That the Lords supper was
instituted by the direct and personal
act of Jesus Christ, to be observed in
his church unto the end of the world.
Four-That God justified men by i'm
putting the obedience and satisfaction
of Christ to them; they receiving and
resting upon Him in all His righteous
ness by faith. which faith they receive
as the gift of God.
1t is only the last of these statements
that Professor .McGiffert accepts as it
stands.
The report was vouminous. It's es-
sence was that the case should be refer
red to the general assembly, which
meets in St. Louis mkt May. The re
port was ordered to be printed for pri-
vate distribution among the members
of the presbytery and made the order
the day of the December meeting.
At the conclusion of the reading Of
the report Rev. DR.. Henry Van Dyke
said that while majority did not agree
with Professor McGiffert, the wisdom
of a heresy trial was doubtful and might
result in harm to the Presbyterian
cause. In view of preparations for a
series of Presbyterian reviVals in this
city this fall and winter the postpone
ment of the discussion on the subject
and it's reference to the general assem-
bly, is thought desirable.

Arthur, the Dominion surveyor who
has had charge of party making trails

months, has returned and left to-day
for Ottawa. The special object of his
undertaking north was to make trails
along the Yukon river, that winter trav-
ell to Dawson might be accomplished
without danger and hardships, which
have hitherto been the invarable at
tendants of such expeditions. Under
these improved conditions the Pink
rapids, White Horse, Fifty Mile and

-
New York, Nov. 13.-James ]. Corbett
has challenged James J. Jeffries to fight
for the heavyweight championship of
the world. Corbett deposited S. 900, to
be covered by Jeffries in any way he
sees fit. 1t may be taken as a wager
or forfeit.
Corbett. in his letter, states that he
desires an immediate match, giving as
a reason that he desires to begin prepa-
rations at an early date. Provided his
money is covered Corbett will meet
Jeffries on Nov. II and sign articles. In
conclusion the former champion alludes
to his meeting with SharlSey, as he
claims to have stood off the sailor in
nine rounds. When seen tonight, Cor
bett said:
Il never was more serious in my life
than I am about this. Many people
think that ! don't want to fight again,
but this deposit of $1,000 will settle all
doubts. I would put up 100000 but for
one reason. 1t is this: When the fight
comes off Jeffries will be the favorite
in the betting. If I put up $1,000, now
1T will go at even money. whereas then
win be able to get seven to five against
it. There is no use in overlooking that
percentage. I want to fight in less than

The concert and banjo recital given
at the Presbyterian church last night
under the auspices of the Woman's
club was one of the most delightful
musical affairs given by local tai
ent in Butte in a long while. The
church was filled with a critical and
deeply appreciative audience. brought
by the announcement of the
appearance of Hyde Gowan, the Won
derful banjo artist, and they were
treated to musical feast that few
thought could be produced from such
an instrument as a banjo. Some of the
most difficult music was played. in
GLIDING compositions of Verdi, Mosz-
kowski, Schubert, Hauser and Hayden.
"A number of we'll known local singers
and musicians took part in the con-
cent, which served to introduce several
who had not heretofore appeared in
public concerts, including w. A. Clark,
jr., who surprised his friends and ac-
quaintances with some artistically rem
