ONLY A FEW DAYS TO LIVE.

Everything in Readiness for Brooks Ex-
ecution Friday Morning.
But two days more intervene between
the life and death for William O..
Brooks. who is to hang on the gallows.
The condemned man continues to show
but little signs Of concern over bis
doom, either not realizing the serious.
ness Of the case or not caring. When.
ever opportunity affords he spends his
time in singing and praying, as has
been his won't for the past several
months.
From the corridor of his cell Brooks
can see portion Of the scaffold.
which has been erected in the rear Jail
yard. The board fence. which sur
rounds this yard, was not high enough,
and in order to obscure the gallows it
was necessary to build it several feet
higher. Everything is now in readi-
ness for the execution and there seems
no reason for it's not passing off without
hitch in the proceedings. There is
some apprehension lest Brooks will
weaken and have to be carried to the
gallows and then held up by means Of
a rope tied under his arms.
It is strange, but nevertheless true,
that there should be a great amount Of
curiosity attendant upon All execution.
Sheriff Hubbard is besieged daily by
persons who did not receive an invita-
tion to the execution, but wish to at
tend, but the sheriff is compelled to
turn deaf ear to their pleadings, as
the space wherein the execution is to
take place is rather limited. The ex-
act time Of the execution has not yet
been announced. but it will most likely
take place shortly after daylight.

"HUMAN HEARTS"


Coming to the Billings Opera House
Monday. Nov. ~.
Even before the pictorial advertise
ments of that beautiful play, Human
Hearts, are posted in windows and on
the boards about town, it's praises have
reached us; SO quickly flies the news Of
any great dramatic success. Not writ

such; not written for the illiterate, it
is yet to them absorbing in interest. 1t
is play for ALL 1t deals with human
ity, the universal elements of life. In
its unfoldment by illustrations it teach
es moral lessons and we are told there
is no better preaching than by example.
None can blush to witness a perform
anoe Of this drama, which can be said
Of very few entertainments offered in
our theaters today. Sustained interest
and pervading charm are pronounced
qualities found in this play. It takes
complete possession Of the spectator,
and after moving him now to tears now
to laughter, holding him il anxious
suspense and satisfying his sense of
justice. sends him home thinking. It's
influence lasts long after the fall Of the
curtain.
That Human Hearts" will meet
with a warm greeting at the hands Of
our theater- r-goers is foreRone conolu-
sion. To those who have seen it be-.
fore, to see it again is a pleasure. and
to those who have not yet had that
pleasure, it will be doubly welcome.

company does decide to build a new
