an executive session and at 3:15 p. m.
the senate went into executive session

Roe Wanted at Warm Springs for Hold
ing UP N. p. Agent.
United States Marshal Woods of
Butte and Detective R. @. Hunt of the
Northern Pacific staff passed through
Billings Saturday night having in
charge George M. Roe, who was want
ed at Anaconda for robbing the North
ern Pacific station agent at Warm
Springs on the night of Jan. /, securing
about $500 in money.
Roe was arrested in Lincoln, Neb.,
last week and at first offered to come to
Montana without a requisition, but at
almost the last moment he instituted
habeas corpus proceedings and was re-
leased. As Don as he had secured his
freedom he was arrested by a United
States marshal Of Nebraska, upon re-
ceipt of a telegram from the Montana
United States marshal, charging him
with holding mp a postofice. 1t seems
that the station agent at Warm Springs
was also acting as a postmaster and
Roe secured some money orders with
his booty.
Roe, when arrested, was a laundry
mai at the insane asylum in Lincoln.
He was in Warm Springs at the time of
the robbery, having been engaged in es-
tablishing, the laundry at the asylum.
The officers say they have a clear case
against him, while Roe says he will be
able to prove an alibi.

soRuBBY STOCK IN CUSTER.

A Citizen Refers to the Recent .'Cattle''
Sale In Helena.
Rancher, Custer County, Montana,
Feb. 5.-Editor Billings Gazette, Bill
ings, Montana-Dear Sir: IL is cur
rent belief down here that at a recent
sale in Helena some Custer county
''cattle" Of a scrubby breed brought a
fair price. There is not many Of that
kind here, but for what there is there
is no demand, and they can be had for
a song. If Helena wants them at any
price that will cover the cost Of trans
p~ortation the people of Custer county
will doubtless be willing to let them
60. only STIMULATING that they shall not
again be turned loose upon our range.
Most of Us would rather herd away
from that class of stock. Yours truly,
Custer County Citizen.

Enroute to Vancouver, Washington, to
Join Fourteenth Infantry.
Twenty-four privates in Uncle Sam s
regular army, in charge Of a sergeant,
were in Billings all day yesterday, be.
ing on their way to join the Fourteenth
infantry at Vancouver, Wash. They
were from Jefferson barracks, in Mis-
souri,. and arrived in a special sleeping
car on the Burlington too late Sunday
night to make connection with the
Northern Pacific. One of their number
was taken sick almost Immediately OH
their arrival here and a physician had
to be called. He was suffering with an
attack OF the grip. The soldiers said
that they heard they were to be sent to
Alaska in the spring or possibly to tho
Philippines to relieve volunteers. The
boys did not seem to care which II
might be-soldier life all same here IN
there. Their car was attached 10 the
west'bound passenger last night and
they proceeded on their journey.

THE BILLINGS BREWERY.
A Suggestion as to How to Make 1t q

Financial Success.

A Suggestion as to How to Make 1t a
Financial Success.
Carbon County Sentinel: Billings is
to have a brewery Of a capacity of 1O,-
900 barrels per year. This will not be
the Magic City's first brewing estab-
lishment. Once upon a time when the
city had a street railway there was a
brewery located in the suburbs, or to be
more definite. at the old town Of Cou]-
son This was not a very large brew
cry, but its proprietor was enterprising
and to increase trade made an arrange
ment with the street railway company
by which a coupon, good for a glass of
beer, was given with each round trip
passage sold on the one-horse car
which by the way was drawn by a
mule. 1t is needless to say that this
arrangement was a success, so much SO
that members of the Maverick Hose
company, which was then in its in
fancy, were wont to ride the mule on
the return trip owing to the fullness
within the car; but that's another
story. Now that the Mavericks have
multiplied and become numerous in our
ne%ighboring city, we suggest that the
new brewery management select a site
with the view of having a street rail-
way run in connection. While it may
be necessary to employ guards to keep
the fire boys from climbing the trolley
pole to ride the wire, it will insure the
financial success of the new brewery.

GOMEZ CHANGES HIS TIME.

Agrees to Accept Offer of United States to
Cuban Soldiers.
Reedios, Santa Clara, Cuba, Feb. 1,
via Havana, Feb. 2.-Maximo Gomez,
commander-in-chief Of the Cuban army,
placed himself squarely in position to-
day as an active ally of the United
States government in the work Of the
reconstruction of Cuba. As the result
of a conference which Robert P. Porter,
special commissioner Of Mckinley, has
had with Gomez, the latter cabled to
Mckinley this afternoon assuring him
of his cooperation in disbanding the
Cuban army and in distributing among
Cuban soldiers the So, 900, 900 appropri-
ated for the purpose Of enabling them
to return to their homes. Gomez also
telegraphed to Major General Brooke
saying he would accept the latter g in
vitation to go to Havana.

COUNTY SEGREGATION.
A Fergus County Paper Favors the
Proposed Measure.

A Fergus County Paper Favors the
Proposed Measure.
Although the proposed county segre.
cation, which would cut off a slice of
Fergus and join the same to Yellow
stone. has not been heard much Of in
this city for a few weeks past. the Fer
gus county papers keep the matter be-
fore the attention Of their readers.
Representative Losekamp of Yellow
stone was the one who contemplated
introducing a bill proposing the segre-
cation, but we have since learned that
Senator Oscar Gruwell is the one who
will look after the matter. In a CONVEX.
sation with The Gazette reporter while
in the city over Sunday, Senator Cru
we'll stated that sometime during the
next few days he would introduce a
bill bearing upon the county segrega-
ton matter and that he believed it
would meet with practically 10 opposi-
tion. Since the papers of Fergus coun-
ty favor the project there is every
reason to believe that it will 20 through

A SLICE OF ALASKA.

By Terms of Treaty Great Britain Will
Get u Portion Of 1t.
Washington, Feb. Aft the report Of
the subcommittee is adopted, as seems
possible, if not probable, a slice Of
Alaskan territory, embracing the en-.
trance to the Klondike, may be coded
to Great Britain in the treaty to be
adopted by the Anglo-American com
mission. The sub-committee's report, it
is said, goes dangerously near to put
ting Skagway and Dyea under British
control, leaving to the Americans, how
ever, the control of the Lynn canal, by
which both of these supply towns are
reached. Under the treaty of cession
it was provided that whenever the suit
of the mountains which extent in q di.
~rection parallel to the coast from the
seth degree of north latitude to the
141st degree Of west longitude, shall
prove to be at the distance Of more than
ten marine leagues from the ocean, the
limit between the British and the
American possessions shall be formed by
the line parallel to the winding of the
coast, and which shall never exceed the
distance of ten marline leagues there
from.
The full commission has not acted
yet. but from the fact that the sub-com-
mittee has agreed, it seems to be under
stood the forthcoming treaty, while
adopting the American theory OF. the
boundary line, will limit the location
of the interior line in such a way as to
be favorable to the Canadians and bring
their boundary line from the northwest
of the White and Chi]koot passes down
to the mouth of the river. Represent
ative James Hamilton Lewis of Wash
ingtOn hassbeen before the commission
several times and it is believed he has
made protests against the proposed par
agraph of the treaty which would give
the Canadians practically what they
have been searching for, which is a
water entrance to the Klondike. The
summit of the White pass is only eigh
teen miles from Skagway as it is. and
if the Canadian contention is adopted
the dominion custom houses will be but
a short distance up the river. and the
American traders will have but little
more than the privilege of disemba1k-
ing goods from steamers and lighters.
Should the commission adopt the report
of the subcommittee and incorporate
it in the treaty, there will be a protest,
not only from the miners themselves,
but from the outfitting firms Of Seattle,
Tacoma and Portland.

Un~equalled Since 1ss6-Stock Suffering

The weather which set in about ten
days ago has continued with but little
moderation. The fact that it was as
cold as 45 o. ~ degrees below zero
caused the Oldest inhabitant to remark
that he had not seen it SO cold since the
big storm Of 1885. It penetrated all
kinds of protection to the body and few
people were found lettering by the way
side. Saturday morning a westerly
wind arose and all day long and Sun
day as we'll vas quite stinging. In fact
it was nigh impossible to 60 against the
wind for any great distance. It seemed
colder than the preceding day, but it
was only about 80 degrees under the
zero mark. Although the sun shone
brightly all day Sunday the wind was
still present and one cared to venture
out for any length Of time. Yesterday
the weather moderated slightly and the
appearances last night were favorable
for a chinook, but the wind changed to
the east and it looks today as though
we were to be visited by another bliz-
zard.
So far the stock on the range have
not suffered to any great extent, but if
this weather keeps up much loss will
result. The storm seems to have been
more evere in northern Wyoming,
where the stock is suffering and deaths
Of people are reported.
The past week has proved a veritable
harvest for the coal dealers and the
plumbers. Some approximations were
felt lest a coal famine might result.
owing to the heavy SHOWS between Bill
ings and Red Lodge, and today there
are signs of such trouble. The
dealers have been kept busy filing
orders. while the people have been
equally SO in keeping up red hot fires.
There is nc coal to be had today al
though dealers are expecting some.
Frozen hydrants and laterals from
the water mains have caused no end of
annoyance to the patrons of the water
system. OF course, the plumber has
laughed in his sleeve, for this is just
where he 1eigns supreme.
