MANY CLAIMS REJECTED
City Will Not Pay for Damage
Resulting From Quarantine.
THREE NEW CASES FOUND
The Record of Yesterdays Development
of Smallpox Board OF Health De-
c.des to Build Hospital
of Detention.

BY action taken by the board OF
health yesterday, which will undoubt-
eddy be concurred in by the council,
notice was served on all persons who
have been unfortunate enough to have
their places quarantned, that the city
does not propose to pay any claims Tor
damages arising out of the smallpox
epidemic unless required to do SO by
the courts.
At the last meeting of the council
a batch of claims were presented, in
which damages were asked because
quarantine had been established on
places where smallpox had developed
and the usual measures for the safety
of the community had been adopted.
The board at it's meeting yesterday de-
cided to recommend to the council that
all these claims be rejected. The ac-
ton will doubtless result in lawsuits,
but City Attorney Lamb believes the
city has a good defense. and it is pro-
posed to test the matter in the courts
if claimants see fit to bring suit.
The following claims were recon-
mended to be rejected: Mrs. Mollie
Miller, s1S0.70, for loss of rent during
quarantine and destruction of property,
furniture, bedding, ETC.: Mrs. David
Melklejohn. $2S75O, property destroyed
and services in nursing smallpox
PATIENT estate of Frank Stephens,
$347.25 for loss of rents and property
destroyed on account of quarantine on
the Stephens block; Mrs. Emma j.
Stephens, $4S for services as cook for
the inmates quarantined at the Steph-
ems block during the quarantine period;
Mrs. H. McDole, $3.50 for bedding de-
stroyed.
The board also shaved bill sub
mitted by DR.. H. M. Hall till there was
very little left of it. DR.. Hall was
| cases when the health officer could not
be found, and was called to treat
prisoner at the city Jail when the city
physician was not within call. Five
| bills presented, amounted to 500. The
| board recommended that $40 be paid.
After disposing of these claims, the
| board took up the matter of providing
a place of detention where smallpox
victims may be kept till they can be
removed to the pest house, without hav-
ing them herded in Jail alley. j. Fl.
Leyson offered the use of the vacant
property at the corner of Broadway and
| Arizona street at a rental of S25
month. 1t was decided to accept the
Offer, and build temporary building,
which will be placed in charge of an
immune, be kept warm and be pro-
vded with a telephone, and hereafter
! when persons think they have small
| pox, instead of going to the city hall
| and being required to stand around in
the cold while the pest house wagon is
| coming in, they, can go to this place
and be made,o comfortable, and their
cases will receive prompt attention.

has been delivered in the East, and
even Russia. China and japan have
orders in ahead of the transcontinental
lines. These latter. however, it is be-
lieved, will hardly be filled in order,
as they were contracted year ago
at a low price. The orders now on
hand in the rail mills will keep them
busy for the entire year of 1900, as the
Western roads do not expect to re-
ceive any supply before August or Sep
TENDER next year. The difficulties the
various lines in the West are having
in securing steel this year has caused
a revival of the talk of Western steel
nent railway supply men of st. Paul
claims that President James j. Hill,
together with several Eastern capital
lists, is considering the erection of one.
Mr.. Hill, it is said, now owns the
greatest water power in the United
States, situated on the Missouri river
at Great Falls, in the heart of a rich
iron region. a goodly portion of which
is owned by the Great Northern. 1t IS
there, it is said, that he contemplates
building a rolling mill plant with a
capacity equal to the great plants of
Pennsylvania and from it to furnish
supply of railroad steel to~the West.
The erection of such plant would
be big thing for the West 1t would
not only open up and develop great
iron mines in Montana, but furnish
cheaper steel to the West, encourage
railroad construction and care for the
great demand now starting up in ST.
IBERIA and the Orient.

A STEEL MILL.
MFR. Hill win Probably Erect One at
Great Falls.

MFR. Hill viii Probably Erect One at
Great Falls.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Great Falls, Dec. 29.-The building of
a steel mill at Great Falls by j. j. Hill
receives a revival from Seattle, where
Gordon McNab of ST. Paul, one of the
heaviest contractors on the Northern
Pacific and who built nearly 500 miles
of the main line of that road, is now
visiting. He says that railroads have
been compelled to abandon at least rs
per cent. of the work contemplated to
be done before next spring and on this
account greater portion, which was
to have been done in Montana, Idaho
and Washington will have to go over
until the following year.
The cost of extensions, cut-offs and
improvements announced by the North
ern Pacific to be done in these three
states during the present winter, spring
and next summer would foot up in the
aggregate about 100000. Aside from
the ordinary work of caring for the
present road bed and replacing of
broken and damaged rails, for which
purpose the company always carries
a sufficient stock of steel, there will
probably not be more than one-third
of this amount spent. The grading of
the new construction work will proba-
bly, be carried on with the hope that
by the time it is completed the steel
mills in the East will be able to fur
nish rails. tie plates, switch frogs and
stands, joint plates and a thousand
other necessities.
The Great Northern is hardly in a
better position. While not such an
amount of new construction work has
been announced, it's changes and i'm
provements west Of Grand Forks, N.
D., will probably foot up as great as
the Northern Pacific. Where that line
will not require such an amount of
steel rails, it does want bridge iron,
which is equally as hard to get. The
new bridge work on that system, con-
templated to be all completed in two
years, will require an expenditure Of
about s3,o00,000. Add to this the work
and cost OF making other needed i'm
rrovements and some idea may be had
of the amount of money the two great
transcontinental lines had intended to
expend in the three extreme western
states through which they have a
right-of-way this season. The great
trouble with the Western roads is that
| they allowed the Eastern lines to place
their orders first. For 60 days past
every steel rail that has been turned
out by the mills of the Atlantic coast

The place will be kept thoroughly
fumigated and disinfected to prevent
the possibility of any spread of the dis
ease from it.
Yesterdays record of smallpox cases
discovered was three cases. The vic
tins are James Hamblin, who occupied
a room at the Bennett block, in East
Park street; Hyman Watson of 1125
South Arizona street, and Gus Estplund
of Walkerville. The latter was sent to
the pest house, Hamblin was sent to a
private place outside the city limits,
where another case is being cared for,
and Watson will be sent to the pest
house to-day, his case having been dis
covered late last night.
When Hamblin's case was discovered
at the Bennett block, there was a great
scrambling of the dodgers to get out,
and many succeeded in getting away
before the quarantine officers could be
stationed there. Even then it was with
difficulty that they could be kept in.
and one man jumped out of a window
to the roof of Lavells stable, but was
recaptured and returned to the house.
A guard had to be stationed on the
roof of the stable to prevent others
from following the example.

HEART Of A TRUE WOMAN
Pretty Story Of the Kindness Of
an Actress.
A MOTHER AND HER BABE
How Miss Hall Assisted a Pale Faced,
Worn Woman in Caring for
Her Sick and Peevish
Child

Coming toward Butte from Seattle
was baby and its mother All the
passengers in this particular car were
well aware of its presence. The mother
was pale-faced little woman with
sunken eyes, the baby was sick and the
passengers were sleepy. Only one of
them, perhaps, wished it wouldn't die.
This one crept out of her berth and
stole down the aisle to the scene of the
squalling.
The two women looked at each other
and the mother at once knew that the
face which peered into her berth was
that of friend, and then the baby was
relinquished, it's little form gathered
close to that of the stranger and car
ried safely along the aisle to com-
Portable lower berth.
The walls continued for awhile, but
gradually grew softer until they were
hushed and everything was quiet. In
the morning the sleepless guardian of
the child carried it back to it's mother,
whom she found still asleep, and who
could only smile her gratitude when
she awakened.
tie bit of kindness sat down in a seat.
When her berth had been made up
the mother arose and came to
where she was. The little woman tried
to say something in the way of thanks,
but was interrupted with, You need a
good, warm breakfast, don't you?"
"Oh, no. was the reply, II shall do
very well until we get to Missoula,
where my husband will meet me. be-
sides" and then seeing that she had
let the cat out of the bag she was
silent. VERY WE'LL said the other.
"but I think we had better go into the
dining room together, l hate to eat
alone.'' So they went in and when one
after another the members of the
Browns in Town company arose
they wondered where Miss Jessie Hall
was.
They found her in the dining car feed
ing little tid-bits to pale baby and
bringing smiles through the tears that
were yet hardly dry on the mothers

at Teapot rocks, 20 mics from here,
where, with feidglasses, they could see
the country behind them for ten miles
and probably watched their pursuers APP

high ridges. but after leaving Teapot
rocks struck down draw 70 the head of
Teapot creek and followed along the
creek bottom for six miles. AT high
cliff of rock they turned abruptly to the
left and rode along the rocks. They were
seen by the posse following closely, one
man trailing them while the others rode
to the side.
Within 200 yards of the rocks Charles
Halliday and e. T. Payton were in the
lead. Suddenly two shots rang out, and
Payton's horse went down with a bullet
through his heart. The whole posse dis
mounted and ran in among the rocks UNI

were fired by the robbers, but only two
shots were fired in return, the bandits
were completely hidden by the rocks. A

who had been some distance behind, came
up, and the robbers put ball through

around him like hail. Two more of the
horses stampeded down draw to the
east, and the posse was demoralized.
The robbers took advantage of this to
beat hasty retreat, and, as it was too
dark to follow them, the pursuit ceased
