once more upon Ibis native heath.'
The executive committee of the
Fourth of July celebration met at the
fire hall on Saturday night and re-
ceiVed reports from the various SUBJ
committees. Everything was found
working smoothly for the success of
the celebration, which gives promise of
being the greatest patriotic demonstra
ton ever held in the eastern part of
the state. The next meeting will be
held next Tuesday night, when the pro-
gramme will be made up.
A suit for divorce has been instituted
by Mrs. Margaret S. Edick against her
husband, William H. Edick. The COM
plant states that the parties were mar
ried at Greenfield Iowa, on April IS,
1882 and that in December, 1897, the
defendant, without just cause, deserted
and abandoned the plaintiff, and has
ever since neglected and refused to pro-
vide for the support of the plaintiff and
their three children. The plaintiff prays
for decreeof divorce and for the Gus
tody of the children.
The next term of the district court
will commence on June IL, and the
present indications are that there will
be very light calendar
A drastic but effective remedy for in
sanity was tried at the county jail this
week. The colored wife murderer,
Brooks, who is appealing to the SUI
preme court for a new trial on the
ground of newly discovered evidence as
to his insanity, has been over-acting
his part and disturbing the other in
mates and jailors with the most un-
earthly bowling so that sleep was
driven from the bastile. After remon-
STRANGE proved Intellectual the hose
was turned on him until he promised
to be good, and he is now as quiet as
possible.
A new venture has been started by
two Billings men which, if it proves
successful and obtains the support of
the woolgrowers, will be of great bene-
fit to the latter. They will receive
wool on commission, make advances,
etc, the same as Eastern houses do,
but the wool will be stored in Billings
until a sale is consummated. Often
when wool has been consigned on COM
mission to Eastern wool centers a year
has been consumed before the full re-
turns have been received, and often the
settlement has been far from satisfac-
tory. Eastern manufacturing concerns
have given assurances that if they
We're sure of finding a sufficient amount
of wool to justify making the trip
they would send representatives to buy
direct from the Billings warehouse.
The new concern has ample capital to
handle all the wool that may be en-
trusted to them, and the experiment
will be watched with interest by Mon
tana flockmasters, for it proves sue
cessful in Billings there is no reason
why other wool points may not follow
the same course.
