The Alleged u. =. Train Robbers Taken
Back to Wyoming.

The Alleged u. =. Train Robbers Taken
Back to Wyoming.
Judge Knowles of Helena issued a
warrant yesterday for the removal of
Bud Nolan and Dave Putty, two al.
legged Union Pacific train robbers, ar.
rested in Dillon, to the jurisdiction of
the federal court of Wyoming. The
men were not represented by counsel,
as they had no funds. They desired
the government to furnish counsel,
something that Uncle Sam is not in the
habit Of doing. They offered no objec.
ton to the issuance Of the warrant.
They have been taken to Cheyenne by
Deputy Marshal Meiklejohn and Under
Sheriff Moore Of Beaverhead county.
The warrant Of removal was based
upon the indictment of the federal
court of Wyoming, charging them with
robbing registered letters and a regis
tered package from the p~ostofice at
Woolton, Wyo., in May. 1898.

Ball Notes.

The detailed score above shows Bill.
ings played a remarkable game, having
but one error and this was an excusable
"juggle' on the part of Sheehan. A
hot grounder was knocked to him, and
instead of hitting square in his NIT it
struck the end and bounced against his
breast, thereby preventing him from
getting it to first in time to retire the
runner.
-Four home run in u game is a
pretty good record, but that is what
Billings did. Two were made by
Hines and one each by Scott and
Rose.
Taylor pitched a very good game
despite the fact that he still has a lame
arm. With a little rest for his swinger
Taylor would be able to 60 against the
best of them.
Out Of all the big hits of the game
Livingston got but one, that being a
three. Dagger by Zibble, but it came at
an opportune time. two men being on
bases.
Helena is short a ball player. Charlie
Walters, a member of the state capital
club, has skipped and 500 in cash is
missing. Walters was acting as bar
tender in a saloon and on Saturday he
failed to show up, when the money was
discovered to be missing. He had been
travelling at a hot pace lately.
Big scores are all the go in these
parts. The kids of north and south
Billings pounded EN- out for 81 and IL
scores, respecti sely, on the ball
diamond Friday afternoon.
The Billings club will probably wait
until another game is announced be.
fore they practice again. If the boys
expect to play ball they should make it
a point to get out at least an hour or
two every afternoon.

Manila Bay Cannot Be Navigated by

Manila, July 10, s a. MT ha'
been raining and storming almost con
stantly for two days, and the country
along the American south and bay
lines is literally flooded.
The soldiers are suffering great dis
comfort. The thirteenth infantry regi
ment at Passay is in the worst position,
being practically surrounded by water
The bridges that were used for getting
supplies have been washed away, and
some Of companies are now separated
by streams six feet deep.
Iii many cases the men are sleeping
with three feet of water beneath Their
buuks, which are elevated on cracke,
boxes. The company cooks, when
preparing meals, stand knee deep il
water. Some Of the roads leading tc
Passay are simply impossible and the
rice fields on all sides are one grea,
lake.
A high wind blew over several tents
of the second reserve hospital.
Manila bay is impossible Of naviga'
ton by either launches O canoes, and
no vessels are leaving the harbor. The
United States transport Centennial il
ready to sail for San Francisco with
discharged soldiers, but the latter have
to sit around the water front all day,
drenched to the skin, waiting for a
launch to take them to the steamer.
The river Pasig and all other streams
are swollen and city streets at all low
points are covered with water.
Manila, July 8, via Hong Kong,
July 1O.-Friendly Filipinos in Manila

and the military leaders of the insur-
rection in Cavite province, which for
some time promised to result in bring.

Americans. He had foreseen the fail
ure Of the instruction and advised
Aguinaldo to make terms, but it is
understood that he has sent word to the
Americans that. having sworn to sup.
port the instruction, he must remain
loyal to the end.
Similar negotiations are said Oh good
authority to have been conducted with
a member Of the cabinet of the so-called
Filipino government, who himself
took the initiative. Some form of
money consideration figured in the dis.
cussion with bis friends.

NOTHING
The Burlington Railroad Is Utilizing LO.
connective Flues for Posts.

The Burlington Railroad Is Utilizing LO-
connective Flues for Posts.
"Nothing wasted' appears to be- the
order of the day in every branch of i'll
dustry. The use of discarded loco
motive f1ues FOR the manufacture of
iron fence posts is the latest illustra-
ton Of this fact. The idea was put
into practice some time ago by T. +.
Calvert. general superintendent Of the
Burlington lines at Lincoln, Neb. The
advantages the Burlington finds in it's
new posts are that they will not burn
nor decay like the old style posts Of
wood. The cause Of failure of more
than one.half the wooden fence posts
along the Burlington lines has been
fire. The details of the manufacture
of the new posts from old engine flues
are so arranged that two workmen can
turn out fifty posts a day. The Bur
lington will use a large number this
year to replace wooden posts. Valuing
the discarded engine f1ues at what thsy
would bring for scrap iron, and count
ing the cost Of labor, the new iron fence
POSTS are turned out for Is cents apiece,
about the same as a wooden fence post
costs.

AT STARVATION POINT.
Intense Suffering in the Flooded District
in Texas.

in Texas.
Galveston, Texas, July 9.-The re.
lief work in the Brazos flooded district
has been systematic, three relief trains
leaving Houston, Galveston and San
Antonio daily.
Probably 10000 negroes are now be.
ing fed and will need to be sustained
for some time by the relief committees.
The water is falling at all points ex-
cept in Brazoria county. All sorts Of
estimates are made as to the amount Of
the cotton loss. An estimate of so per
cent is considered conservative. This
will be a money loss Of &c. 900, 900.
The loss sustained by the destruction of
other crops, houses, fencing, stock and
bridges will be 81, 500. 900 while the
loss to the railroads is probably 81, 0OO,-
900. making a total Of IS. 500, 900.
Owing to the exaggerated reports
circulated as to the loss Of life in the
recent floods. the News has made a
special effort to secure the facts from
each county. Reports received from
thirteen counties show a loss of thirty.
seven lives from drowning. Negroes
supposed to have been drowned con.
tinue to appear and want to be fed.
Reports from Selay state that a
white woman and a negro woman died
there today from the heat and exposure.
There are 500 negroes at Selay at the
point Of starvation. Rations will be
sent by the first train.
At Hearne a mass meeting Of citi.
zens was held today and committees
appointed to request supplies from the
governor for immediate use. Intense
suffering is said to exist in the local.

A BIG SCORE.
Had 1t Not Been for the Rain, Billings
Would Still BE Batting.

tvVuAV SllAl HC y
I Billings fans were given a disap.
pefntment and heart ache Sunday after
noon when, in anticipation Of a good
game of ball, they witnessed n that
was just the opposite. The announce
meut that Livingston was to play here
and that she had gathered up a strong
aggregation that would make our boys
play for their lives, was enough to
draw a good-sized crowd and all
seemed to have their lungs with them
if one is to judge by the "rooting'
done. One has but to look at the score
to see that the visiting team was not
in it from the start, and it was only by
chance that they were made the re.
cipients of the three scores in the
seventh inning. OF course, the Living
ston boys [for they We're not much more
than school lads) did the best they
could, but that wasn't much.
1t is needless to dwell on the par
ticulars of the game. The rain inter-
fered at an opportune time for the Wis.,
itors. as our boys would have still been
batting the sphere out when the
shadows of darkness set in, and there
is nc telling what the cor might
have been. The home team, however,
played good ball and the game was
fair practice for III players.
The detailed score follows:

The most horrible outcome of the mob
spirit is the burning alive of Afro-Amer-
lean men. This crime began in Arkansas
in 1892, and since then men have been
Texas. Virginia. Georgia, Mississippi,
Tennessee and Kentucky. During the
last seven months there have been three
of these inhuman torturings to- death by
fire.
Lynchings have become common, Afro
American men being the victims, in all
the Southern states. and they tn have dur
curing in illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New
York, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Michigan
and Nebraska. There is, according to
carefully collected statistics covering the
these lynchings, or mob murders. each
year. most of. them occurring in the
South. Minor prosecutions, such as driy-
ing AfrO-American families from their
homes. whippings, stonings and tarring
and feathering are so common us to be
merely noticed in the reports of the press
of the country. IS =
We tmplore all persons in power and
authority to reflect upon what these law
less and inhuman acts mean, and what
duties the state of society. they reveal
ments. And we ask all people who love
justice and order, and who desire the
good Of their fellow men, to endeavor, by
word and act, to create throughout the
country such a public opinion as win not
of violence and murder as now, by oc-
curing within it's borders, disgrace the
entire nation. ss1
It is ordered by this assembly that the
