TOWN AND VICINITY.
Theft of Chickens.

Friday night of last week Edmond
Lewis, living at Old Consolidation, lost
20 chickens by theft. How did he
know there were POP" That number
was missing from his flock next morn
ing; besides, a short distance from his
house 20 chicken-headS laid near where
they had been cut off.
No Monkeying With Reservoirs Yet.
The proposal to increase the bonded
debt of the town III the sum of $4,000,
proceeds to be applied to the repair of
the old or construction of new res
ervoir, was defeated by vote of 22O to
60 at the election held last Saturday
Why?
A patron of the JOURNAL came i'll
Saturday morning at .: l5-ncarly hours
before the close of the polls and left this
prophetic D,cmo,Uadum:
Bond issue proposition will be defeated by
3 to because
|, The Mayor and Council would not give
the people an opportunity to vote intelligent
ly, and
, Because of lack of confidence in the ar
tesan hold-Over Council.
Whatever the reason, the vote was ?,
to against.
TO eXpend the money for water-metres
would have furnished il claim upon
popular support that had in it both jus
tice and equity. The metre is the only
addition to the system that will make
each consumer determine for himself
how much he will leave to his neighbors
In other words, as economy i'll the use of
water here OH IL mOuntain-tOp is what is
imperatively needed, the metre will
make each consumer an economist both
particularly and generally.
As the..mattcr stands, to save waste at
the spigot becomes important before
economy at the bung hole begins.
If the town had no water system, the
provision of good bung hole would en-
JOY precedence.

WHEN CORONER BECOMES SHERIFF
Question Settled by Attorney General
Nolan in Park County Case.

The question as co when a coroner
becomes sheriff Of a county has been
settled by Attorney General Nolan at
the request of Coroner Leard of this
city, says the Livingston Enterprise.
When a vacancy occurred in the office
of sheriff Of this county on the 9th
many people, including Dr.. Leard
himself, were Of the opinion that the
coroner assumed charge of the Office.
This view, however, was an erroneous
one, as the attorney general, replying
to a letter of inquiry from DR.. Leard,
holds that the only exercises
the function of a sheriff in the service
of any process which the sheriff is
barred from serving. In concluding
his opinion on the matter the attorney
general says: "It will be seen from
the law that it is only in the particu-
lar instance when a sheriff is a party
to an action or proceeding that the
process must be executed by the cor
one Of the county. The coroner is
only authorized in the case of the dis
ability of the sheriff to execute pro-
cess and orders in actions and pro-
ceedings pending. Unless an action
Or proceeding is pending, and unless
the sheriff is a party to such action
Or proceeding, the coroner is without
authority to officiate as sheriff to the
extent Of serving or executing process
or orders. These conditions not exist
ing, the coroner is without authority
under the law. to officiate as sheriff
to the extent Of executing process"

expected it would be during last sum
mer's hot spell, the autumn rains hav-
ing started a new crop of grass. There
is plenty Of water and of course with

moisture from the snow. We put up
considerable hny and had about 800
tons left over. This weather is not
too cold to Craze sheep upon the
ranges"
Mr.. Mcknight said that there are
IN unusual number Of sheep being
fattened in the Yellowstone country
just now for The Chicago market.
II believe that within a radius of q
few miles from Billings bewteen 1OO,-
0O1 and 400, 900 sheep are being fed
on alfalfa, which is considerably more
than any previous winters record.
The crops Of alfalfa are steadily in
creasing. I understand that some
Yellowstone ranchmen cut as many
as four crops last year. It is stacked
in the field where grown and the
sheep feed right in the field, thus
e%nriching the soil. This is becoming
anew industry Of feeding sheep here
for the eastern market. I think it is
proving a success. The sheep are fed
Of alfalfa until about the middle of
January. when they are shipped to
some point near Chicago and fed for a
short time upon bran and grain, ar
irving at the stock yards in splendid
shape"

STRONG DENIAL BY HILL
HAS NOT SECURED CONTROL OF
NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Admits That Recently Established Rela'
lions Between the Two Roads
Are Very Satisfactory

Seattle, Nov. 24-In a special from
New York to the Times, signed by
Alden J. Blethen, editor-in-chief Of
that paper, the following appears
II may say to the people Of Washing
to that the reports sent out to the
effect that I have secured control of
the Northern Pacific, and that the
Great Northern has guaranteed any
thing for the Northern Pacific-either
or both-are absolutely untrue"
Those were the short words of j. j.
Hill to me at his Office at ~ Pine
street, New York, Thursday evening.
Hill further stated, however, that the
voting trust which had controlled the
Northern Pacific for several years and
was to extend one year more by the
organization terms, will expire with
January l, next, and that the relations
which have recently been established
between the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific companies are most
amicable and satisfactory.
