TWO INQUESTS HELD.
CORONER JULIEN INVESTIGATES
THE NINE FATALITIES.

Coroner Julien conducted two inquests
yesterday. The first was held during the
afternoon on the bodies of Joseph Max
well n Joe Milnovich, who were killed
by an explosion Of giant powder in the
east drift Of the 1,400-foot level of the
Colusa-Parrot mine, Sunday morning.
Nothing new was brought out by the
testimony, the evidence of ]. J. Riley and
Eli Polovich, who were in the same drift
being to the effect that Milnovich struck
a missed hole with his hammer and the
charge exploded killing him and Joseph
Maxwell.
The jury returned a verdict of acct
dental death.
The Mountain Con. explosion, which oc-
Cured las. Saturday and in which Peter
Sullivan and Thomas Smith were killed,
was investigated by Coroner Julien last
night. The story Of the accident, as told
by the witness, was practically the same
as published in the Inter Mountain yes
terday. Deputy State Mining Inspector
Hunter was Of the opinion that the men
working in the raise should have wait
ed to spit their holes until Sullivan and
Smith had come out. AS it was the
miners were between two sets Of blasts
and could not escape.
The jury returned a verdict to the ef-
feet that the accident was unavoidable.

From these 5000 acres there Is raised an

shows a value of $4,000 in feed alone.
There are at present 10000 head Of
sheep being fed in this section on alfalfa.
Divided into districts, $4,000 head are

winter. When first placed on alfalfa
hay, in October, these sheep wehe valued
at from 50 to 1925 per head, but after
three months feeding they are now
valued at from 81 to $4.25 per head, show
Ing a total market valuation of $180. 900.
There are at present being fed in this
same section 10. 900 head of cattle, exclu-
sive of all cattle for dairy or home pur-
poses. Among the heavy feeders are
Paul Mccormick. j. T. Murphy, O'Don-
nell & Frat. Ed Cardwell. O'Donnell
Bros. Cramer Bros. There are also
others feeding smaller herds of 100 to 200
head. These cattle are fed on alfalfa
mainly and are alued at $50 per head.
1t takes a small army Of men to care
for all the above stock, 1t being estimated
that no less than 200 are employed at an
average salary of $50 monthly and board.
The item of salary alone is something
over $4,000 monthly.

N. P. EXTENSION.
WORK Is RAPIDLY ADVANCING
AND WEATHER. FAVORABLE.

The present fine weather has been made
good use of up the valley, where men
and teams are at work on the extension or
the line of the Northern Pacific says the
Hamilton Democrat. A drive along the
line by the new road shows that the road
bed is rapidly assuming shape. The
ground is in excellent condition for work,
and in most places the frost interferes
but little.
Saturday it was given out by the con-
tractors representative that they would
laying timber the first of this
week. The steel will follow Immediately
after. 1t will take five days to cross the
river. But from there the advance will
be more rapid.
The most difficult part of the piece of
road under construction has already been
passed. The men and teams are now at
work along the river just above the
bridge.
The first mile and a half after crossing
the river takes the Dad out of the heavy
construction work n a stretch of road is
then reached where for three miles it is
merely what the contractors call scratch
work" The spur which turns off to the
right to the log landing is also we'll under
way.
Upon the same authority it is definitely
stated that the contract will be practi-
cally completed by the end Of this month.
Everything upon the new line of road is
being lone in first class shape. The grade
is easy INT substantial. In a number of
places along the river the railway cuts
into the country road and changes have
had to be made. Where the road has had
to be moved and grades or cuts inter-
fered with the company has given the
country a still more substantial and de-
sirable roadway tina 1t possessed before.
Everywhere there is evidenced an inten-
ton on the part of the Northern Pacific
people to cultivate a spirit of friendliness
among the inhabitants of the valley.

STOCK FED ON ALFALFA,
MAGNITUDE OF ENTERPRISE IN
VICINITY OF BILLINGS.

But Few people nave any idea of the
amount of stock that is being fed on
alfalfa in the valley contiguous to Bill
ings, or the great amount Of money
which is invested both in the hay and
stock, say the Gazette. Alfalfa is fast
becoming the mainstay Of the ranchman
or farmer in the valley for winter feed
ing, probably from the fact that the yield
is greater and it is more nutritious than
prairie hay, putting on a fatty substance
that does not necessiate a feed Of grain
for any length of tim in order to place
the stock in condition to command the
top market price.
Many people, not only strangers, but
residents of Billings as well, wonder
where the city derives it's support.
Among the many different>channels from
which it comes is the stock raising and
feeding Of the valley. In order to prove
that such is the case, I. d. O'Donnell,
one of the heavy feeders, has furnished
the Gazette with some items.

Witnesses Must Appear.

At the conclusion of the testimony for
the prosecution in the preliminary hear
ing of Matt Matson, Matt Martin, Gus
Erickson and John Koski, charged with
the murder of George Ryan, Justice Mich
OILS last evening held the defendants to
the district court and refused to fix a
bail bond for them. He also required
H. A. Lloyd, Charles Bloom II Dayton
Commit, witnesses, to give a bond of $500
to insure their presence at the trial OF
the accused. The defense did not put in
any testimony.
The two really important witnesses at
the hearing were Commit and Lloyd, the
latter being the young man who came
forward with some voluntary informa-
ton in regard to the stabbing Of Ryan
when he thought trouble would be ex-
perienced in Identifying the four men
under arrest. He told the court he was
"a years old, a miner, and lived at the
Southern hotel.

On cross-examination, Lloyd said he
had once been employed as a quarantine
officer in Butte, but had recently been
working at the Bell mine. On the night
before the stabbing he had gone to bed,
but could not sleep and got up about 2
o'clock in the morning n gone to the
Casino. He reiterated his former state
ment in regard to the Identification Of
the four men.
Charles Bloom, one Of the proprietors
of the Copper Hill saloon, at No. 8S East
Park street, testified that he was on duty
in the saloon on the morning of the
tragedy n had seen all the defendants
ave Koski in his place of business. They
passed through the saloon going from
the front to the back. He did not know
at that time that any one had been hurt,
but a few minutes later Officer Peters
had entered and asked if he had seen
the men. Bloom could not state whether
Koski vas one of the party.

cording to the Helena Independent. Mr..
Soss goes to Washington to put in a bid
for the Helena public building. He will
submit samples or stone with his bid. Mr..
Soss said that he believed the Helena
public building was now IN a fair way OF
being constructed this year, or at least
a good start being made upon 1t. The
plans have been changed allowing for q
reduction Of the cost Of the building, and
he is inclined to Believe it can now be
constructed for the amount of the apprO-
priation available.
While in the east, Contractor Soss will
purchase material n supplies needed at
the capitol building. He expects to Sc
lect marble to be used in finishing tho
building. Montana marble would be per-
fectly satisfactory If it were obtainab!e.
but it canno be secured. No quarries
in the state are open, and for all the mar
BILE to be. used in the new state house. no
person could afford to develop any or the
marble deposits of the state. Mr.. Soss
expects also to purchase a steam heat
ing plant for the capitol while in the east.
The contractor has been taking advant-
age of the, fine weather to push work at
the capitol. The bricklayers resumed
work Friday, and stone cutting has been

The litigation which threatened to seri-
ously involve the estate Of Richard Ash
worth a wealthy Englishman. who had q
big cattle ranch in northern wyoming and
who also owned property in Billings n
Canada, will not materialize. Judge smith
Saturday, at Helena. admitted the hclo-
graphic will of Mr.. Ashworth to probate,
the proponents of the will of later date
making no objection. A compromise had
been reached which was satisfactory to
Edward AshWorth, a wealthy Englisn
manufacturer and father of the decedent,
and to Jack l.. Fraser, to whom Mr.. Ash
worth, in his will drawn up IN February.
1898, left most of his property. Edward
AshWorth was made the legatee ny the

will close up the estate without opposition.

DEAR BOY LETTERS-No. 2.

My Dear Boy-You say that you have
and that there some things in it that
appear to be reasonable.''
Well Mr.. Bryan is a very pleasant
speaker and can make plausible show
ing when he has a very weak case He
is clever, respectable gentleman who
learns his bread by the sweat of his
jaw and he has learned his trade very
we'll But let me call your attention to
a few solid facts for you to consider be-
fore you feel inclined to yield your mind
to his brilliant generalities about impe-
rialism.
L. Mr. Bryan's record proves him to
be unsafe leader He is a theoriSt
rather than a practical man of affairs.
In every campaign in the past and upon
every issue heretofore presented to the
people for settlement, Mr. Bryan has
been mistaken The results have proved
that he was mistaken The natural pre-
sumption is that he is mistaken now.
When a Democratic Congressman and
also a Populist leader in 1892, Mr.. Bryan
was very that free trade the
thing needed to insure prosperity in the
United States He was sure that the
'-robber tariff was making it hard for
the farmer and the wage Garner to live
He and those who believed as he did
| succeeded in convincing the people, and
the Wilson bill. free trade measure, was
| adopted and became law Three years
| of bitter experience proved that Mr..
| Bryan and his friends mistaken.
| Factories We're closed laboring men We're
| without employment: capital found no
/ productive investment, and the produce
i OF the farm brought adequate return
| to the farmer from 1898 to 1897 while
| this free trade bill the law
In 1896 Mr. Bryan and his Democratic
| Populist following dropped the tariff is
| sue like hot potato and took up that
| of free silver During that campaign he
| declared that if the free coinage of sill
| yer at the ratio of 16 to 1 was not adopt
| ed. if a gold standard continued to be
| the law and became the fixed policy of
| the country, that prices will go down is
| as certain the law of grayita ton -
| that 1.-The rich will grow richer and the
| poor poorer that there viii be a de-
| crease in the amount of money in circu1a-
| tom that the army of the unem ployed
| will continue TO increase"
| Results have proved that Mr. Bryan
/ was again mistaken Every one Of his
| predictions turned out to be false. We
| have now protective tariff and the gold
| standard law. Prices have gone up in
stead of down, while the rich have grown
| richer. the poor have shared in the gen
| eral prosperity, the amount of money in
circulation has largely increased, and la
| Dor never more generally employed
i nor more adequately rewarded than now
Is it not fair to presume that the gen
tleman who has always been mistaken
| upon every other leading issue is nnistak
| en- about imperialism, which he declares
