is Attracting Hundreds.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 1S.-Dawson
advices of November 26 tell that a
great stampede is going on to Mayo
creek in the Stewart river district.
Prospectors wandering in the country
late last summer discovered evidences
of several years quiet development on
Mayo, but no one was about, the oper-
ators, whoever they were, evidently
having gone out for the winter. Cab
ms we'll stocked with provisions and
tools were found. The news started
the stampede and now the creek is
staked from end to end. The original
locators having failed to record their
claims, will return to find that they
have no holdings in the district. 1t
was not known in Dawson how rich
the pay dirt is, the sole reason for the
rush being the mysterious develop

Topeka, Dec. 1.-THE 10 year old
son of James Billiard, a prominent
grain dealer of this city, was expelled
from the schools for refusing to take
part in the religious exercises at the
opening of the school. Mr.. Billiard

81 object to religion in the public
schools" said he, "and if necessary
l will bring suit in the courts to see if
the board of education can force me
to allow my son to submit to religious
instruction in the public schools"
The objections of Mr.. Billiard are
made as a result of a resolution pre-
scented by a member of the board of
education and adopted at the last
meeting, that the reading of the bible
and repeating of the Lords prayer at
the opening of school be made com.
pulsory.

he had testified before the grand jury
that Lee threatened his life at Bill
ings if he testified against him. Piper
is new employed by the government
and testified at considerable length.
He said that while working at the
Garvin ranch he had seen cattle in
Garvin's corral and thought, but could
not swear, that branding was going
on. He had seen pieces of cattle ears
around the corral, but could not re-
member whether they were fresh or
old and had seen defendants driving
a herd of cattle several times but
had not noticed the brands.
His cross examination brought out
that he did not know very much
about branding and also that at the
time he claimed Garvin told him to
testify where he was working at a
certain date was prior to Garvin's in
dictment.
r. E. Bailey, who had worked for
Garvin told of hauling wood to the
corral but did not recall seeing any
branding. Remembered seeing cattle
zeal the ranch with fresh Mashed
O" and "OT" brands.
Frank Heinrich, a cattleman, testi-
ned that a certain bull bearing the
I'D" and co" brand broke into his
fields and he put him out. Later this
animal was seen with a mashed o.
brand.
c. A. Davis, Henrich's hired man,
corroborated him.
Postmaster Brown at Hartmanneve
heard Of the persons Anderson and
Smith who are alleged to have given
the bill of sale Garvin and Lee hold
for the cattle.
James Hanyes testified that he sold
many of the original Indian cattle to
the government.
Helena, Dec. 18.-[Special to The
Gazette.] The government closed it's
case against Lee and Garvin in the
United States court sooner than was
expected today. Only two witnesses
were examined when the government
rested.
"Piegan JIM" an Indian, working
on the reservation said that in June Of
last year he saw Garvin and another
man driving cattle on the reservation
towards the basin. He swore that a
young bull which had been seen on
the reservation with Indian brands on,
was seer later with the MASHED o"
brand.
miles from Garvin basin, told the jury
about signing the bill Of sale for
Bob" Lee as a witness. He never
saw Anderson or Smith who purported
to give the bill of sale but signed at
the request of Lee. He denied on
cross-examination that-he ever said
he saw Anderson or Smith sign the
bill Of sale or that he ever told Stock
Inspector Smith so. Witness said that
once at Billings he asked Attorney
Goddard what he thought Of the bill
Of sale and Goddard replied, ooh, it
don't amount to much. They can skin
it,"
Counsel for defense We're rather sur
prised when the government announc-
ed that it rested. Adjournment was
taken early this afternoon until morn

case.

a purse of 500 for the motor cycles. Three
OF the best motorneers in the country
have entered including the daredevil
