A SERIOUS

A Mine EmPloye at Bridger Gets On the
Under Side of u Cave-In.
Bridger furnished another patient for
st. Vincent's hospital Wednesday night
in the person of William Fogerstrom, a
laborer. who was quite seriously in
jured that day. Fogerstrom was assist
ing in building a brick archway for the
new power house and was in the act of
taking away some timber supports,
when a large amount of timber and
brick caved in on him, breaking his
right leg in three places, also breaking
his collar bone, bruising his hips and
back terribly and cutting a four-inch
cash on his head. His injuries were
attended to and he was then brought to
Billings by an attendant and will now
receive the best treatment possible, the
coal company having sent word they
would defray all expenses. He is get
ting along nicely considering his in
juries.

The Billings Mercantile Artist Gets In
His Handiwork Again.
The Billings Mercantile company has
a very attractive and significant display
in their east show window. It is what
one would call a Decoration day win
dow and again displays the splendid
artistic work of J. McGregor. It con-
sists in the background of a gate ajar.
representing the entrance to the tomb
where lie the soldier dead. The fence
stands out about two feet from the.
window. The iron gratings are carried
out by black satin ribbon and the pill
lars are constructed of handkerchiefs.
Over the walls are draped American
flags. On the floor of the window, in
front of the gate, a quantity of old war
relics are arranged, in~termingled with
var weapons Of recent date. On each
side are placed handsome potted plants,
a small card ION each reading "a
tribute from the SOUTH and "A tribute
from the north" A large card in the
center reads "A reunited nation pays
honor to it's soldier Dead" The effect.
is grand, it's purpose being to remind
all that the recent Spanish.American
war was the means of reuniting the
north and south in stronger and closer
bonds than heretofore.
The Mercantile will close it's store ALI
day next Tuesday in commemoration Of
Memorial day. ... .
