When Luke Francis Brennan was

the Indiana were belching forth at
MORO castle. and later when all of the
great ships batteries were raining
death and destruction on the ll-starred
vessels of Cervera's fleet, when they
steamed out to meet the American
blockading squadron. Luke Francis
Brennan, as first class machinist, was
doing his part a making the glorious
history of that memora bic battle. 1t is
mot to be supposed he had any idea
whatever of coming to Montana then.
and much less that he would meet such
an experience as going to jail. But
great changes come to the life of all
men. and Brennan is no exception to
the rule That is one of the reasons
why Brennan came to Butte and COM

Brennan. if he tells the truth, and
1T is to be presumed he does, served
his term in the navy. After his novi-
titate on a ship he was assigned to the
Indiana. When the war with Spain
broke out, he shared in the many ex-
citing adventures that came to the crew
of the gallant vessel. He saw the bonn
bardment of San Juan and later that
of the forts of Santiago, and partici-
pated in the gEaat fight of July 3, when
the sinking of Cerveras fleet broke the
back of the Spa nish war. After the war
was over he was transferred to the sup
ply ship Celtic and accompanied the
oregon and other vessels of the navy
around the Horn to the Pacific. When
the Celtic landed in San Francisco,

Bozeman, Nov. 3.-Young men and

that Halloween is a time when every

be repaired without an expenditure OF
large sum of money. In other parts
of the city buggies We're taken out of
the sheds, spokes broken, wheels de-
stroyed and burrs thrown away with
out respect to person or rights of prop
erty. The citizens of Bozeman have
been long suffering in this respect in
past years and have meekly bowed
their necks to the inevitable, and re-
paired the damage done by the van
dals. The work Of destruction was car
ried so far this year that the police
arrested several boys, but were unable
to hold onto them long enough to get
them to the police station. However.

Samuel Westerfield for destroying gates

would be expelled if the matter was
brought to the faculty's attention
There are a number OF college students
who were implicated in the work of
destruction who may be arrested later
on. The faculty is greatly chagrined
at the work of the students, who seem
anxious to follow in the ways of col

run the town. OF course many others
than members of the college were con-
nected with the vandalism, but the
students were the most prominent. The
boys are endeavoring to adjust the
matter by paying for the damage done

let them off easy.

Despondent over her many mistor-
tunes a young widow named Mrs.
Phillips who has been employed as a
cook at the Butler house, in west
Broadway, swallowed an ounce of laud-
anum last evening with the intention
of ending her earthly troubles. But for
the timely discovery of her condition,
wholly by accident, she would have &C
complshed her purpose.
Mrs. Phillips is but % years of age,
and a few months ago lost her husband,
to whom she had been married but
short time, Left dependent upon her
own resources, she was obliged to seek
employment. Being unaccustomed to
supporting herself. she found it hard
matter, and of late has been very de-
spondent over her hard lot. Last even
ing she went to her room early and
nothing was seen of her again until
another young woman employed in the
house happened to go to her room. She
found Mrs Phillips lying on the bed
unconscious. On the floor lay an empty
phial that had contained an ounce OF
laudanum which told the story
AS soon as possible DR.. Leggat was
summoned to the assistance of the rap
idly-sinking woman. By the use of a
