THREE COURTS MEET TODAY.
Superior Court Grand Jury win
Have to Deal With Gambling.

Three courts will convene in Savannah
for their December terms this morning
Besides the United States Courts, of which
announcement is elsewhere made, the Su-
perior Court and the Court of Ordinary
will also hold their first days sessions.
The grand jury of the Superior Court
has been summoned to convene with the
court at 10 o'clock, and the important in
dictments that are to be brought to its
attention for the return of true bills will
be presented then. 1t is possible that the
three murder cases will be among the frs,
that the grand jury will investigate after
il selects its foreman and is prepared for
the transaction of business.
1t will be interesting to note Just what
this grand jury will do and say on The
subject of gambling. 1t will be remem-
bered that the grand jury for the June
term OF The court, that has Just been dis
charged, refused to return true bills
against number of gamblers, because it's
members regarded the fine system as vir-
tually a license that tended not at all TO
the suppression of the vice, but served
rather TO encourage 1t. They gathered
this from the fact that the number of
gamblers fined seemed to Increase every
year.
The views of the last grand Jury were
expressed in its general presentments To
the court in which it declared its want
Of confidence in the fine system and urged
the pass age of a law making 1t incumbent
upon the courts to impose a term Of i'm
pr sonment, instead of a fine, upon a con
viction for vio'ations Of the laws against
gaming.
Just what view of the question win he
taken by The grand jury that ccnyenes To-
day is matter of pure speculat on. What
ever, though, its views may be. its antions

Gossip as to Mrs. Plants Reasons for
Contrasting the Will

Gossip as to Mrs. Plants Reasons for
Contrasting the VIII.
The announcement that Mrs. Plant has
begun action against the trustees of the
late Henry B. Plant for a recelvership for
the estate of her late husband is a mat
ter of interest throughout this section of
the South where a large part of Mr..
Plants property is located.
As stated recently by President Erwin
of the Plant System. the receivership If
granted viii not affect the railroad inter-
ests being rather for Mr.. Plants estate.
Mr.. Lynde Harrison, one Of the trustees
of the estate, and who drew Mr.. Plants
will, passed through Savannah yesterday
on his way from Florida to New York.
There are two interesting features in the
gossip concerning the contest over
the will. One is that Mrs. Plant
desires for herself an Independent estate
That will not be affected in any way by
the trustees management, and which will
be wholly within her control. Another is
that she has a large number of relatives
dependent upon her and that the income
which she is allowed under the will is in
sufficient to provide for herself and TO
meet the demands which are made upon
her.
The progress of the litigation will be
closely watched in the South and particu-
larry in this part of it, where Mr..
Plant was known personally end through
mis- great railroad and other interests.

Their Way Home.

The Volunteers Expect to Soon BE on
Their Way Home.
Billy Conrey received a very interest
ing letter yesterday from his brother
John. who is with the list Montana in
the Philippines. From the tone of the
letter it is clearly understood that the
volunteers expect to soon leave for
their homes. In a postscript John eX-
plains the reason for not sending some
relics home by saying that as the resi-
ment expects to leave soon he will
bring them with him. The young man
was taken to the hospital on May
after constant service in the front
ranks. He says:
II have got some kind of a stomach
trouble, but am getting along first
rate and expect to be out again before
long, as l am feeling much batter row.
| have been well all the time up TO the
LIST of May and consequently dill not
have much time to write, as the Mon
tana boys have been in front all the
time. We have had some pretty hard
fighting to do and great many of the
boys have been wounded and many
killed in all the volunteer regiments.
Our regiment is fighting az San Fer
nando tonight and l would like very
much to be with the boys. This is the
first fight / have missed I have been
on the firing line for nearly three
months, and all about me men have
been killed and wounded. but I have
not received a scratch, although bullets
came little too close to be comforta ole
at times.
That major of our battalion (Miller)
was wounded and Captain Moran is
acting in his place. Captain Dillon If
Company K of Anaconda has also been
acting as major of the LIST battalion,
but they brought h,m to tho hospital
last night and it is feared that ne will
die.
We expect to get out of this place
before very long, but, of course, It is
hard to tell just how soon. / an Of the
opinion that the hardest fignIiug is

women and children, the population OF
the many cities and towns of the whole
Malalos valley must be fed by the
leaders; and they are entering terri
tory whose people are either peaceful or
are, like the Macabebes, opposed to
them 1t is the opinion of many OF the
officers at the front that the rebels
will make one more stand, most prob
ably at San Fernando a town 10 miles
north of Calumpit, but that the defense
OF that, place will be but half-hearted
and Its capture will mark the close of
the war and ring down forever the cur
tam upon the Tagalos' rosy-hued vision
of Filipino republic
You people at home cannot possibly
imagine what our boys have had to go
through with for the last week. We
may have struck trenches at Caloocan,
at Malinta and Maolos Polo, Mega
canyan and various other places in our
northern march, but these were as
nothing TO the earthworks the rebels
mad thrown up both in front and in the
rear of Calumpit. For a distance of at
least four miles along the north bank
OF the Bagbag, the river facing Malo-
los, the Filipinos had built a veritable
fort portholed, rooted with railroad and
from six to eight feet in thickness. Be-
hind this covered fort trenches were dug
to depth Of three feet to allow them
to pass from one place to another with
out being exposed. On the Malolos side
or the river the ground had been cleared
Tor over a thousand yards of all brush
and other Instructions in order that
nothing might shelter the Americans
and nothing hinder the insurgents.
1t was in front of this position that
the brave Montanans. commanded by
the gallant Colonel Wallace, lay for
over two hours withstanding the rebel
hre and covering the flank movements
of General Hale. 1t is the opinion of
the officers and men and the opinion of
three or four representatives of other
nations, who We're present on the field,
that 1000 American soldiers in the Fill
Pine trenches, properly provisioned,
could have held off an army of $4,000
veterans"

Heard the Pleas of Six Men Charged
With Misdemeanors.
Justice Bliss held a criminal session
OF court yesterday afternoon in South
Butte, and took the pleas Of six men
charged with msdemeanors. Paddy
DoWney, an old gray haired man of GO,
Well-knoWn in Centerville and Butte,
pleaded guilty to a charge of vagrancy
and drew 20 days. Downey has been 60

cided that rest, aided by the cuisine
OF the Hotel de Reagan, would do him
the most good.
P. A. Swanson and Bob Anderson,
charged with petit larency, pleaded not
guilty and had their cases set for II ial.
w. H. Madden pleaded not gully to
charge of stealing a $45 overcoat, and
George McCauley entered the sane
plea to a similar charge. Madden
stated, when asked if he wanted any
witnesses subpoenaed that he didn't
need any, and developments showed his
opinion well founded.

TO MEET THE TURK.
He Insists That Billy Woods Must Find
Three Men.

Lewis Cannon, professor of physical
culture of Helena, arrived in the city
yesterday in response to Billy Woods
call for wrestling talent to arrange for
a series Of bouts with the Turk. who
agrees to come to Montana on condition
that at least three irst-class men will
meet him on the mat. Cannon is fine
looking specimen of physical manhood
and has considerable of a record to
show. He defeated Ed Raymond of
Milwaukee, 7. C. Comstock of Superior
and Reinhold Schott of Watertown,
Wis, all heavy weights at catch
catth-can. He has thrown six big men
in Montana, but to these victories he at
taches little importance. He claims that
they had no particular merit. He
weighs 10 pounds.
Billy Woods hopes to hear from some
other wrestlers SO that he can send
word to the Turk to come along and
make his challenge good.

WAS HEAP MAD.
Cree Indian Tries to Solve the Mystery of
the Grapllophone.

the GrapliOphone.
The big graphophone in an East
Broadway picture attraction depot has
made an impression of some kind on a
buck Cree, who last week visited the
place every AFTERNOON to search in a
superficial way for the source of the
sounds which emit in an unbrollen
stream from the horned mystery. He
cautiously moves about from one side
of the doorway to the other training
first one ear then the other On he OBJ
ject of his curiosity. He would speak
to no one While in the act Of trying to
figure it all out. 1t required several
days study 10 locate the source of the
strange sounds; but now he knows that
they flow from the big horn, but his
expression would indicate that he is far
in the dark as to the cause of hem. He
appeared to be in a fair way to solve
the mystery until the Burglars
Dream cylinder was set in motion.
This passed without incident until the
cheering of the crowd burst forth from
the bell-shaped transmitter. Then the
Indian staggered backward and ex-
claimed: Ky stu okum sis klu-clat
cum gay Ose-kee." which interpreted
through a series of wild gesticulations
with the aid of cayuse English, liber-
ally applied, meant that he regarded
the jeers as direct assault upon his
Cree dignity. He was heap mad, and
hasn't been there since.
