They Must Have New Building
This Year or Curtail the
Attendance.
VOTE FOR NEW BONDS
The District in Good Financial Shape,
bnt More Bonds Are AbsO-
lutely Necessary.

The school board of District No. 2
of Billings met in adjourned session
Wednesday night in the First National
bank for the purpose Of hearing the re-
port Of the conImittss6s to the advis-
ability Of votika>few bonds for new
school building. There were present: :
Goss, Moss. Mills and Spear.
After hearing the report of the com.
mittee it was moved aud carried that
the board submit the proposition to the
school electors Of voting coupon bonds
to the amount Of $x6, 900 at the school
election Oil AhrX7, for the purpose of
erecting and furnishing new school
building. The bonds are to be made
redeenable in ten years or payable in
twenty years.
The board appointed A. P, Hart, F.
r. ST. John and John Rixon as judges
of the school ielepGon, to be held on
Saturday, ApEX Z, at the south side
school house from IL III. to 6 p. IN.
These bonds. the board explains, ale

ines are so crowded that, il a new
building is not provided, therboard will
next year hey compelled to exclude
from the schools children between the
ages Of 6 and b years, or dispense with
the high school Either course would
iujure the schools, which have been
making splendid progress during the
past two or three years, and nothing
helps town as much as good scohols.
The district is in good financial
shape. too. It is only bonded for 3d.
600, there ia cash enough on hand to
redeem portion Of the bonds and pay
the interest on the remainder, and,
with the regular school tax, there will
also be sufficient money on hand to
conduct the schools next year without
making a special tax levy. The board,
in fact, pledges itself not to make a
special tax levy next year If the bonds
are voted, and there should be no op-
position to the proposition. Owing to
the opinion Of the attorney general, it
ia feared the free county high school
cannot be built this year, as the law
must be tested IN the courts, which
makes new district building ilnpera.

with for time by renting few rooms
in the free county high school building.
but the district will not now have an
opportunity to do so, and must provide
new building. It will construct one,

begins next September, and the effioien-
oy Of our public schools will thus be

" AS A LEGAL MURDER
Theodore Durrant, Who Was
Hanged in San Francisco,
Was Innocent.
GIBSON DID THE DEED
Pastor Of Emanuel Baptist Church
Confesses the Crime OH
His Death Bed.

Parties arriving in the city this
morning from Butte and Helena state
that the news was bulletined in those
cities last svening--too late for the
evening papers-that Theodore Dur
rant. hanged in San Franciscn about
three years ago for outraglng and mur-
dering Blanch Lamont and Minnie
Williams. was all innocent man. The
bulletins were to the effect that Rever-
end Gibson, the pastor Of Emanuel
Baptist church, where the bodies of the
two girls were found, had made a
death-bed confession that be was the
murderer.
Everyone will remember this cele-
brated case, which attracted the atten-
tion Of the entire country. 1t was Of
peculiar interest to Montanians from
the fact that Blunch Lamont, one Of
the victims, resided in Dillon, this
state. Durrant was convicted on CIR
oumstantial evidence. but it was
thought to be Of the strongest character.
He maintained his innocence to the
last, however, but the case went
through the California supreme court
and the supreme court Of the United
States.
1t is thought this news may have
some effect on the case of Hurst Of
Glendive. sentenced to hang on the 3Oth
Of this month. He was also convicted
on circumstantial evidence, and Gov
ernor Smith ia to consider the case
next Tuesday, when the parties work.

The Miners at Red Lodgd All Quit
Work in Rocky Fork Mines
Yesterday.
EVERYTHING is QUIET
But the Indications Are for a Long
LOckOut-FOur or Five Hundred
Men Affected.
Special Telegram to The Gazette.

Special Telegram to The Gazette
Bed Lodge, Mch 16.-By unanimous
vote of the Red Lodge Miners union, a
strike was yesterday ordered in the
Rocky Fork coal mines and the works
are now at standstill, with prospects of
complete suspension of operations for
a long time. Between 400 and 500 men
the entire force--are out.
The strike is the result of new
schedule of wages, just put into effect by
the company, which has introduced cleo
trio mining machines. The schedule
changes the pay of the men from 1926
per day for coal mining, to 40 cents per
ton. The company contends that the
men can make more with the machines
at ~ cents per ton than they formerly
could without the machines, at Is cents
per ton. The men claim that they can't
make to exceed 50 per day under the
new schedule
All overtures for settlement of the
difficulty have thus far signally failed
and it looks like a long lockout. The
strikers are quiet and orderly and thus
far there has been no disturbance.

FUSION ALL RIGHT.
When it Helps Democrats-Brysn the
Chief FusiOnist.

When ii Helps Democrats-Bryan the
Chief Fusionist.
Editor Caucasian:
Occasionally you hear some little
democratic heeier spou-ing about "fu-
sion. And if you will listen to him
explain and foam at the mouth, your
greatest wonder is that he has escaped
tenth-rate lnn tic asylum The only
thing that has kept him out, is the fact
that asylums are built frr men and wo-
men who have sense enough to become
insane, and not for the natural born
idiot.
He forgets that the present demo-
cratic party In North Car lima is iu-
sion party. That tie Democrats and
Wings right after the war fused" lie
forg.ts that the democrats had to
change the name to the "Conseryative"
party before they could fool the Wings
into it, and thereby got their vote, par
italy by fale pretense. As long as
Vance lived, the Whig element had re-
cognition and were not MARKED But
now the old bourbon element is in the
saddle.
These fellows do not know that the
democrats in every State, where they
are weak, fuse with everything in
sight Now they are trying to fuse
with Republicans in rennsy lyania
Doing it now. fhey are fusing in va
riOus States west. They are fosi, z
with the negro leagues Even. They
can't deny it.
In this State, in 1896 they fused with
Marion Butler and the bad t?) Pops.
And Joe Daniels wanted to fuse with
the Pops in 1898. 1t is not his fault
that they did not fuse
Then the democrats have nominated
the chief Populist ''fusionist" for Pres
tdent, and all democrats have agreed
to vote for him, except the CHARLOTTE
Observer, and it will have to do so, or
be called ''nigger.
