Livingston, Dec. 6.-Sigmund Deutsch
died Saturday at the poor farm east
of this city after a. protracted illness.
The funeral was held Monday from
tKreiger's undertaking rooms, the re-
mains being inferred in Mountain View
cemetery. Simple ceremonies were held
at the grave and in the presence of the
few friends who had gathered to witness
the performance of the last sad rites,
Mentor Wetzstein read the Jewish
burial service over the body. Sigmund
Deutsch was born in Prague, Bohe-
mia, about As years ago and came of
an excellent family. He was educat
ed in the military schools of Austria
and served as lieutenant in the Aus
TRAN army, being attached to the en-
cheering corps. He came to the Unit
ed States some years ago and first
came to Montana in 1881 with the en-
cheering corps of the Northern Pa
cific railway. He made his home for
time in Miles City and went from
there to Bozeman, where he engaged
in the practice of his profession in
company with Victor f. Tull Leaving
Bozeman, he came to this city and was
elected county clerk of Park county,
which position he held for a term of
four years. In those days he was
prosperous and made money rapidly,
but he spent it just as fast as he earn
ed 1t. He led fast life and years of
dissipation told on him to such an
extent that he became unable to make
a living for himself. For three or four
years he was supported by the charity
of friends and was finally sent to the
poor house and became county
charge. His health failed him rapidly
and for more than year he has been
unable to leave his bed. Death came as
a relief to his sufferings. His was a
sad end Of misspent life and the
solemn cortege of Monday was grim
reminder of the adage, 1.-THE wages of
sin is DEATH" He had every advantage
to start in life, and his own folly prov
ed his ruin. He was generous to
fault, and there are many who will
view the picture Of his life with sor-
row and who place in the halls of
memory column dedicated to Sig
mund Deutsch. His relatives In Mil
waukee, telegraphed money sto defray
the expenses of his burial and thus he
was saved the additional stigma of
having been the object of charity even
after death.

Sunday morning about 2 o'clock, in
the Northern Pacific yards at this
point, I. M. Merry, switchman. was
caught between the cars and badly
squeezed about the chest. He was not
badly hurt, however. and is now about
recovered from his injuries. When
Merry was hurt an extra brakeman by
the name of w. f. Stackhouse was
called to take his place. The latter had
been working only about a half hour,
when he received injuries which nearly
cost him his life and which will lay
him UP for some time at least. He was
riding a string of cars down one of the
various sidetracks, and was engaged in
setting a brake on the front end OF the
first car. He knew the train was APP
preaching some cars. but supposed
them to be box cars. In this he was
mistaken and the collision threw the
SWitchman off from the top of the box
car into a coal car, rebounding to the
ground with fearful force. He fell clear
of the wheels. but was severely injured
by the fall. He sustained a dislocated

The football team of the Bozeman
agricultural college came over Satur-
day and played a game with the Liv-
ingston eleven. The game was pretty
one in the first half and was hard
fought contest. The Livingston team
showed a great improvement over the
form displayed at Bozeman the Satur-
day preceding. Livingston rushed the
ball down on the five-yard line in the
first few minutes of play and would
have scored but for a tumble on the
part of Evans, Livingstons fullback
Bozeman consumed the remainder of
the half in recurring one touchdown.
King kicked goal. In the second half
the superior weight of the Bozeman
team began to tell and two touchdowns
were scored, goal being kicked in one
instance. The final score was II to o..
For Livingston Robson did the best
work and Schabarker and King were
Bozeman's best ground gamers. Fol-
lowing is the lineup:
