BILL srRoTHERs.
A Cowboy Who Didn't Believe In
Wasting Any Words.

Wasting Any words.
New York Sun. ~ -,
Don't you believe that all the cowboys
of the West waste their breath In yelling
or talking said the major, as he was
telling of life on a ranch. I've got man
named Bill Strothers,l who hasn't wasted
word since he was old enough to speak.
Men who have chumIned with him have
told me that he would go three or four
days without uttering a word I'd been
trying to find him for a year. One day /
heard that he was over at Red Hill, and l
rode over and found him sitting in the
shade Of a tree. He nodded to me as 1
got out of the saddle, and sat down be-
side him and said:
Well, Bill, I'll give you $50 month
to come over to the c. P. ranch. I've got
dozen herders who, need a hard boss
for few months.,II suppose you've got
some private affairs to straighten up,
and I'll give you week to do it In. What
do you say?'
Il said all that and perhaps more Bill
gave me look of reproach, and slowly
got up and mounted his cayuse I thought
"a lost him, and in some anxiety l asked
where he was going.
Ranch, of course he grudingly re-
Piled, and he rode alongside of me for
thirteen miles without opening his mouth
again.
About eight months after he came To
me l took two days ride in his COM
pany In those two days 1 uttered lust
ten words, as duly recorded in my note
book, and those ten words were In regard
to the body of a man we found hanging
to limb. I was mighty lonesome for a
talk, l can tell YOU, but I started out
with the intention to preserve my dignity
Bill muttered 'Humph!' over the corpse.

home I prided myself that 1 had won

But what's the trouble?, 7 asked
Anything wrong with the work.
He shook his head
Want raise of wages?
He shook it again
You are not taking up a herd If
your own?' u
There was third shake. and. drawine
long breath, as if about to do some
desperate thing, Bill replied:
See, hyar, major, was out with Won
for two days and you talked too darn
muchl' -
II promised to better my record ;,
laughed the major, and I'm sure rye
done it. I've spoken to him only twice in
the last eleven years, and I know he
thinks I ought to be president of the

BRADFORD,S DEATH.
Its Cause Investigated by the

Its Cause Investigated by the
Health Authorities.
The peculiar circumstances of the death
of William E. Bradford, at 1900 Fifth
street southeast has given rise to consid-
cradle comment among local practitioners.
The health authorities refused to give a
permit for his burial until the matters
connected with his death were investigat-
ed and reported upon by board appoint
ed for that purpose. Such board was ap-
pointed yesterday afternoon and late last
evening brought in their report which was
to the effect that the young mans death
was caused by cerebro spinal meningitis
and hypo spodic pneumonia. Thus hav-
ing satisfied himself as to the real cause
of death the body was allowed to be
turned over to the undertaken and the
funeral arrangements to be made The
question of his treatment by Christian
science is being investigated

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 20.-About a
thousand representatives of Kentucky
Democrats are busily engaged tonight
with the most interesting political contest
that has come up within their ranks for
a number of years. The state conven-
ton, which meets at Central Music hall
tomorrow afternoon, to nominate a full
state ticket, promises to be long and Bit
ter. The. sharpness of the struggle be-
tween the three leading candidates for
governor Gen. P. Watt Hardin, w. J.
Stone and William Goebel. has not b1en
lessened by the numberless conferences
which have occupied their followers today
and tonight. The general trend of these
maneuvers has been toward a S inc
Goebel combination for the organization
of the convention, and late tonight this
was practically agreed upon. The plan is
said to be to throw the combined vote of
these two candidates to Stone for COVER
nor If Goebel, after full test of his in
dividual strength in the convention, shall
fail of a nomination.
Gen. Hardin's seconds are confident of
him, but his position as the leading can
didate in point of instructed delegates
apparently has served to weaken him by
bringing together his two opponents.
There is little interest in the race for
minor positions on the ticket. John S.

ed for temporary chairman, but none of

Missoula, March pa suit was filed
in the district court to-day against DR..
Buckley of this city by the widow and
children of the late w. T. Strong. The
suit is for damages and the complaint
alleges carelessness on the part of the
nurses in the Northern Pacific hospital,
where Strong was taken at the time of
his last illness. Strong was quite i'll
and became delirious. One night he
leaped from his bed and ran out of the
hospital with only a blanket for pro-
lection. The case was an unfortunate
one, but no one has ever before attached
any blame to the physicians in charge
