SMALLPOX AT BILLINGS.
Three Cases of Varioloid Discovered.
Strict Quarantine Established.

Sneciai Dispatch to the Standard.
Billings, Dec. 26.--Three cases of vario-
loid have been discovered here as a result
of the case here a couple of weeks ago.
Two of the victims are bartenders in
Bennett's saloon, where the first case was
discovered. The third case is a young
man who has been hanging around Ben
nett's. The authorities have been severe
ly criticised for raising the quarantine on
the Bennett place in six or seven days,
and Mayor Yegen says it was done on the
instance of DR.. Townsend, who had the
case in charge. The three patients have
been removed to tents near the Northern
Pacific bridge. about a mile and a half
from town. and DR.. Townsend and nurse
will have charge of them. 1t appears that
the saloon was never properly fumigated,
but the authorities are now fully alive
to the situation and there is no danger OF
any epidemic Every precaution will be
used to prevent the spreading of the dis
ease, and the Bennett place and the tents
will be placed under strict quarantine.
Several persons who have been exposed
have been placed in the Bennett place,
which is securely guarded.

of smallpox in Anaconda. A man nam

glance the dread disease in its second
airy stage. The victim was isola ted inn

care. A laborer whose name could not
be learned at a late hour last night,
was auarantined yesterday in a Cedar
street lodging house. He, also is n
varioloid case. and has a good chance
for recovery with proper treatment.

The big Johnston line steamer Nora

founder at sea with her crew of IL men.
The Noramore, which flies the Belgian
flag, is of $3.50 tons register. She sailed
from Liverpool for Norfolk December

agents were anxious about her
The hurricane which swept this coast
last Saturday struck her at sea at
night. The waves rolled over her al
most continuously and were of such
force Captain Richardson says as
would have swamped an ordinary ship.
Soon after the storm arose the Nora
more overhauled a strange bark which
was on the point of laundering. Only
the stump of one mast still stood, the
others having been cut or carried away.
Several lights We're burning aboard her
and the II men. believed from their
gestures to be foreigners, We're run

Noramores boats, was put over the
side and the men pulled for the bark.
The boat swamped almost Immediately.
The men. who wore ife-jackets, were
picked up by second boat. which was,
however, compelled to return to the
Noramore. While the rescue of these
men was being effected. the bark dis
appeared in the darkness and Captain
Richardson says that beyond doubt she
and her crew went down. Search made
after daylight revealed no sign of her.
The Noramores steel bow was stove
in and two blades of her propeller were
lost, but she managed to make this

STRIKERS RIGHTS.
Courts Holds They May Maintain Men on
Picket Duty.

Toledo Ohio, Dec. 26.-Judge Morris,
in common pleas court, to-day rendered
an unusual decision as to the rights
of striking workmen. The members
of the bicycle workers union struck at
the Standard Tube & Forkside works.
A temporary injunction was granted
restraining strikers from patrolling
the works and accosting and intimi-
dating employees who took their places.
This injunction to-day Judge Morris
dissolved, holding that the strikers had
a perfect right to keep pickets about
the works and talk to worfmen and
urge them to come out. He held that
there was no positive evidence of
threats and that the number Of men
employed at the works exceeded the
number of strikers usually kept on
picket duty, so there could be no dan
ger of personal violence. The case will
be appealed.
