HILL GETS CONTROL OF N. P.
Railroad Magnate Dazzles New York
Financiers.

A special to the Montana Daily
Record from New York says: j. p.
Morgan has passed as the dominant
factor in the transcontinental railroad
situation. W. K. Vanderbilt's plan
of a line from one coast to the other is
sleeping. But out of the west comes
j.. J. Hill, a practical railroad man,
president OF the Great Northern, di-
rector of the Baltimore & Ohio, and
director of the Erie, to evolve and &C
complish practically a line Of railroad
to begin at the Atlantic and stop at
the Pacific coast.
1t has become known in Wall street
that Mr.. Hill and his associates have
acquired control of the Northern Pa
cific, a property formerly controlled
by Mr.. Morgan and his associates.
1t was announced semi-oficially
that there would be a readjustment Of
the Northern Pacific issues and that
probably the common shares, as we'll
as the preferred stock might be re-
tired. Such a readjustment is CON
templated only that Mr.. Hill might
float in Europe, among foreign holders
Of the Great Northern, the new Sc
curities issued by the Northern Pacific,
a competing parallel line.
All that now remains to complete
under n management an east and
west rail line-the part water and
part rail line is completes a link
between Chicago and st. Paul. Yes
terday Wisconsin Central rose on the
theory that it's line might be the one
that Hill, Morgan and their friends
might buy to supply the missing link.

THAT THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
Plan by Which IL May B,
Disposed of.

A plan has been proposed whereby
the 80 one-thousand dollar bills in the
hands Of the state treasurer, and
which so widely advertised the state
of Montana two years ago, will be put
to good use. Members of the Pam
American commission look with favor
upon a plan to use the money with
which to make all exhibit of
of Montana at the Buffalo exposition
next summer. The approaching leg
islature will doubtless make some
disposition Of the money, and it is
argued that the money could be put
to no better use than to appropriate it
for the purpose SO mentioned. The
commission has decided to ask the
legislature for an appropriation Of
$50, 600, which would necessitate, if
the plan was looked upon with favor
by the legislature, the apportionment
of an additional $40, 900. The money
is to all intents and purposes the prop
erty of the state, as there is nc likeli-
hnod that any mi will ever claim it.
Unclaimed money in the state treas
ury is usually, by legislative action,
placed to the credit of the general
fund, and the commissioners believe
that the money could be legally used
to make a display for the state.

TRAIN OF FLOODED HORSES
Belonging to Marcus DAILY Estate Goes
East from Montana.

A special train of 10 cars, carrying
one-half of the horses of the Marcus
DAILY estate, passed through Billings
Monday afternoon en- route to New
York, where the horses will be sold at
public auction OH January 30 and 81,
and February /. There were $50
brood mares on the train in charge of
the head doctor, who was accom-
panied by about 40 attendants.
Another train will pass through here
in a few days carrying the racing ami
mails which are also to be sold at pub
lie auction. These horses have been
on Days Bitter Root ranch at Ham
ilton, this state.

MONTANA NATIONAL GUARD.
Legislature Will Be Asked to Assist It in
Getting on Substantial Footing.

E4EEHE rEEAUF IL-L H-H-FH. n..
The ACCESSIBILITY Of recognizing the
Montana National Guard will be con
sidered at the forthcoming session OF
the legislature and an appropriation
probably made to place it on a sub
stantial footing once more. Under
the provisions of the 81, 900, 900 ma
tional guard appropriation bill recent
II passed by congress, Montana will
receive 81, 600 in federal aid, but as
this money is contingent upon the
state making an appropriation Of
equal amount, the legislature will be
asked to duplicate it and go 81, 900 or
$3, 600 better
It is believed that with the federal
appropriation and an additional APP
preparation Of, say $40, 600 by the leg
islature, the reorganization of the
First Montana regiment can be made
in a manner that will compare favor
ably with the state guards elsewhere.
Adjutant General English favors the
reduction Of the guard from nine COM
panies, as constituted under the for
mer organization, to six, believing
that a small, we'll drilled and we'll
officers guard is more efficient than a
large body Of men with perhaps less
effective means of drill.

with Stations and Bulls.
Geo. Pirrie of Halbert, Mont, was
in the city Wednesday returning from
an eastern trip. While absent he pur-
chased four blooded stations and two
blooded bulls for his ranch. The stall
lions, which are French Coach, Perch
eron, Shire and Standard Bred Hamil-
tonian, are as fine a lot of horses as
have ever been shipped into this sec
tion, and each one has a big pedigree.
Mr.. Pirrie has quite a horse ranch
in Fergus county and is raising moth
ing but fine animals. He believes that
inside of the next two or three years
good horses are going to command
fancy prices. During his trip east he
saw but very few good horses on the
farms, which bears out the statement
made sometime ago that the eastern
farmers have to a great degree discon-
tinued the. raising of horses.
Mr.. Pirrle will leave this morning
with his stock for his ranch.

In the forenoon of Christmas day

there were c~ongregated in front Of
John D. Losekamp's clothing store on
Montana avenue between 200 and 800
children between the ages of six and
10 years. They had been attracted
there, as on former occasions, by the
announcement that Mr.. Losekamp
would follow out his usual custom Of
distributing free gifts to them. It
took several hours to supply all, SO
great was the number, but Mr.. Lose
kamp had gifts for all from picture
books up to bicycles and consisting of
almost every known article. To say
that the little folks were we'll pleased
is putting it mildly and they will aver
hold Mr. Losekamp in grateful remem-
brance.

ROTTEN DAILY MAIL SERVICE.
Branch from Billings to Bridger Causes
Wyoming Patrons Annoyance.

At the time the people of this coun-
ty were being served with a tri-weekly
mail delivery, it frequently happened
that we counted ourselves in luck if
we received any mail for a month,
says the Big Horn County (Wyo.)
Rustler. We are now supposed to be
enjoying daily service, but it is SO
pr~ovokingly irregular that we are
forced at times to regard it as a pub
lie nuisance rather than a benefit.
The fault rests with that tupenny-
ha penny branch line from Billings to
Bridger. The employees who guide
its n train over it daily evidently
regard themselves as the whole
thing and run things on the Wander
biltian principle the public be
damned!" The mail for this county
should be brought regularly over that
line from Billings to Bridger and at
the latter place turned over promptly
to the contractors who have teams
there to receive it no matter how
strong the wind blows or how thickly
the snow falls and the rain patters
down. There is no good reason why
the people Of this county should not
get their mail daily, as provided for
by the government. If that Northern
Pacific branch line is running Uncle
Sam to suit it's own convenience, u
nunkey-may his shadow never grow
less-ought to know something about
it, and We'll wager that if he does
he'll prove right smart that he's "a
bigger man" than any Of those who
are attempting to run him. That is
usually his style.

FALSELY ACCUSED.
Miles City Girl Who Goes to Minneapolis
to Buy Troseau Is Arrested.

Dispatches from Minneapolis state
that Miss Belle Howard, Of Miles
City, was arrested there several days
ago Oh a charge Of shoplifting. She
was tried in the city court and ac-
quilted. With characteristic stupidity
the police heralded the arrest through
the Minneapolis press as an important
capture, and ~stigmatized Miss Howard
as a professional shoplifter.
The incident grew out OF the acct
dental discovery Of a piece of cheap
lace that had become mixed with her
purchases, which had been quite
heavy. The police searched her room
and discovered about $500 worth of
effects which she afterwards proved
she had bought and paid for. She
was submitted to every humiliation,
even suffering detention over night in
the police station.
Miss Howard is the daughter of a
wealthy ranchman on the Rosebud
and went to Minneapolis for the pur-
pose of having her wedding trosseau
made, as she is soon to becoem the
wife of Captain Neate, a well-to-do
Englishman, who has recently located
in Carbon county.
AS soon as the news of Miss How
ards arrest was received at Miles
City, Senator Mckay and others tele-
graphed to a firm Of attorneys in st.
Paul to render her every assistance
and that Custer county would back
her. The friends Of the young lady
are very indignant at the stupidity Of
the Minneapolis concern that caused
her arrest.
Captain A. E. Neate, whom Miss
Howard is to wed, came down from
his Carbon county ranch Sunday and
went east, ostensibly to Minneapolis.

Desperate Arrested in Iowa TalIies De
scription Of Sheriff Young,s SLAYER.

II the parties who came ii contact
with the slayer of Sheriff Young.
just previous to the time he committed
his awful crime, are not greatly mis-
taken the desperate may yet have
Justice melted out to him. Photo
graphs OF a man arrested ait Burlinp-
ton, Iowa, recently for killing 4 man
while attempting to hold him up ii
the suburbs of that city a short time
ago were shown two OF three PARTIES
at Springdale Saturday, and declared
by them to be excellent likenesses Of
the man wanted.
On the 5th inst. the Cedar Rapids
Gazette gave an account Of a resident
OF that county being murdered at
Burlington, while en- route to the de-
pot to take a train to his HON. in
Cedar Rapids. A partial description
OF the man was given and his methods
were very like those of the man who
shot down Beaver at Logan, and a few
hours afterwards seriously wounded
Under Sheriff Bellar and killed Sheriff
Young. Under Sheriff Woodlands Of
Livingston wrote for photographs Of
the party held.
Two Photographs arrived Saturday
and were taken to Springdale that
afternoon and shown to people who
were in the company Of the desperate
during the afternoon previous to the
shooting. All declare that the photo
graphs are very like the party wanted
and one who studied the man for two
hours during his sojourn at Springdale
declares that the likenesses are those
Of the nan who did the killing. When
arrested for the murder at Burlington,
he gave the name of George Anderson,
and said he came from Wyoming, and
that he had walked a greater part Of
the distance. He had on his person
two reyolvers and answered the de-
scription Of the desperate who was
followed down into the wilds of
Wyoming. The authorities at Living
ston will endeavor to get a more ac-
curate description Of the party held at
Burlington and if necessary the agent
at Springdale may go down to assist
in identifying him.

RANcHMAN FOUND GUILTY
OF Perjury-Registered Mail Pouch stol-
en-Sherifs to Meet.

Ike B. Sheldon Of Garrison has been
found guilty of perjury in the United
States district court. Mr.. Sheldon
was tried for having sworn falsely to
a statement at the land office in this
city in 1885, to the effect that he had
never made a presumption filing, when
in reality he had done SO at the land
Office at Miles City in 1882. The law
provides that when an individual
makes a presumption entry at the land
office he must make affidavit that he
has eve entered a land claim before.
When Sheldon filed the claim in 1885
he made such a declaration and swore
to it, but the papers on file at the
Miles City land office show that he
entered a filing there three years be-
fore.
A registered mail pouch was lost
last Friday night between the Helena
p%ostofice and the Great Northern
depot. It was filed with Christmas
gifts from Helena people to their east
ern friends. A p%ostofice inspector is
in Helena instituting search.
James b. Mushback of Red Lodge
has been appointed a United States
commissioner.
Soon after the meeting of the legis-
lature, probably January Is, a meet
ing Of the Montana Sheriffs' ~associa-
ton will be called in Helena by
Thomas Davidson, sheriff of Lewis
and Clarke county, who is It's presi-
dent. Not only will new officers be
elected, but steps will probably be
taken in regard to the payment of
mileage claims as they accrue, and the
proposal that hereafter all executions
take place in the pe%nitentiary at Deer
Lodge will be considered. An oppor-
tunity will be offered for the exper-
fenced men to post the large number
of new sheriffs elected last November
in the duties Of the office. The
organization is designed for mutual
protection in matters Of common inter-
est and also to aid one another in
catching prisoners through being as.
ISOLATED together.
