GAMBLING

Helena Mont.. May 1s-=For the first
time since the first white man set foot
on the soil Of Montana, there is not. so
far as known, an open gambling-house in
the state. And there probably is not
more than one where faro is dealt on the
quiet and roulette played.
Gambling was a licensed industry in
Montana from tise days OF the earliest
mining camps until six years ago. Then
the Legislature passed a law making
gambling felony. even the men. who
played al the games were exposed TO the
danger of pcnitentiary sentence. This
law was declared unconstitutional aud the

LIMA A FLoURIsHING TOWN
DR.. Ford Talks of the Little Town on
the Short Line-Business Activity
Is Noticeable.

Lima is getting her share of the rail-
road building prosperity" said DR.. E. L.
Ford, of that fourishing town, at the
Finlen this morning. 1.-THE Short Line is
employing large force of men all along
the road, and a number o: them have
their headquarters at Lima. Business is
good in every line of trade.
THE improvement being made by the
Short Line are of the most substantial
and permanent character. The streams
are being rip-rapped to prevent the
grades from washing out. The road is
being Strengthened, and heavy steel be-
ing laid along the whole line. The COM
pany seems be making good it's boast
that it will soon have the best roadbed
in the whole west.
"The dry season has affecter the crops
around Lima to a considerable extent.
All grain is not cut very short but hay,
which is one Of the principal crops, is
not more than half what it usually is.
The failure of the hay will mean a great
loss to the ranchers. All the crops are
late. and early frosts would do still more
damage. Potatoes and vegetables are
backward as we'll as the other staples.
The streams are short of water. and only
those who have the best of water rights
their irrigation.
considerable activity is being dis
played in mining circles. especially in the
vicinity of Big Sheep Gulch, some twelve
miles from Lima. Some fine copper pros
poets are being developed there. and in
dications seem to point to good mining
district there. There are other promising
localities, which are not quite so we'll
known, but may be as good.
"The Inter Mountain is the leading pa
per in the country around Lima. and we
all look for its arrival as for that Of a
friend. It is the newspaper par excel
lence in Montana"
The doctor is engaged in the regular
practice Of medicine, and some times

against c. w. Clark, for work perfOrmei
in experimenting a man who attempted
to blackmail Mr.. Clark by writing him
a threatening letter. The officer sued

amount. After revolving the matter in
his mind over night Judge Arnold de-
cided that $50 was about the right figul 9
at WI ich to fix the wages of the police
man, and he accordingly rendered judg-
ment for that amount and the costs of

A circular issued by the postoffice de-
partment announces a clerk and carrier
examination, to take place in this city
September 4. The circular is as fol-
lows:
The United States civil service COM
mission announces that on September 4.
1901, an examination will be held in this
city for the positions of clerk and carrier

plications in due time.
This examination offers an excellent
opportunity for entering the federal SER
vice to bright, energetic young persons
the commission hopes that sufficien:
number of intelligent, active persons
will present themselves for this exam
ination. It may be stated that there is
a wider field for advancement upon merit
in the federal service than in many pri.
vate employments, not only by prom J.
ton in the same office, but by transfer
to other parts of the service.
The nature of the examination is a
test of practical general intelligence,
and of adaptability in postoffice work.

are as follows: Clerk, not less than Is
years; carrier, between. 81 and 40 years.

glass and pull back the locks, which
could easily have been done. Instead,
they pried the window out.
There is a nickel-in-slot machine in
the card room, and they looted that first,
getting few nickels from it. according
to the proprietor, who stated that the
machine was not permitted to keep it's
winnings long at time for fear that it
would be raided.
The burglars may have reached the
window by three different routes. It is
above the floor and in the south wall of
the house. The wall of the building next
door south, in which the Butte Security
and Loan Office is Quartered. rises al
most but not quite to the top Of it. and
the walls are SO close together that there
is no room to walk between. However.
1t is easy to get through the window
from the roof of the Loan Office build
ing, which is low.
The burglars climbed up to this roof
from the back yard and forced the win
dow open while standing on it. They
could have gained entrance to the yard
in three ways-by passing through the
Mug saloon on Park street, or through
the Corner saloon ON Park and Main or
through the lodging house over Bakers
restaurant on Main. Which one OF these
routes was taken thus far has not been
determined.
The only clue to the criminals yet dis
covered is a footprint on the roof of the
building from which they entered the
window. Silent. mysterious. inscrutable
it lies under the sun imprinted in the
dust of years that cakes the roof
Last night the police were informed of
the burglary. and this morning Officer
ST. 80 = IT,
made an examination of the premises,
and questioned the proprietor but was
unable to get any light in the matter.
The proprietor has no suspicion of any
one who is in the habit of frequenting
the cigar store. He is of the opinion that
the burglars were not acquainted with
the way the window locked or they
would have drawn the bolts instead of
prying it out.

DRINKS before Judge Boyle in the police

not of the Dusty variety, Andrew She
hfsHy and And; ew Kosky. Shehosky and
Koshy, the gentlemen with the rhythmic
names, had just enough of the common
wealth's English to plead guilty, and
with Rhodes. who entered the same plea,
were fined IS apiece.
There was a second charge against
Shehosky, who it seems Is accused Of
being husky enough to break a window
in the house of John Konarksy, at the
corner of Curtis and George streets. Kon-
arsky complained of this act of She
hosky, and the latter will be tried for
malicious mischief on Friday at 3 O'Clock
having pleaded not guilty.
Carrie Neill, accused of being an idle
and d.ssolute" person in the habit Of
street walking" pleaded not guilty. She
is colored young woman, and she ap-
peared in court ddressed in bright blue
waist, black skirt and dove colored hat
and she spoke low and positively when
she discaimed the character attributed
to her. She will have trial on Friday,
and was liberated on a fifty dollar bond.
H. f. Allen. who admitted having driv-
en- a horse on the side walk was fined $40.
It also cost DR.. Turner SO for failing to
report case Of diphtheria. Hugh Wright
paid 500 for the pleasure of performing
the driving act on the sidewalk.
Frisco Nell is in Jail for following a
prohibited business. She was brought
in very late last night and she made a
very scientific and vigorous fight after
her arrival. This so Frustrated her that
she was unable to appear in the police
court this morning to make the various
explanations which will be required from
her. She was allowed "a hours to brace
up for the coming ordeal.

THE VANISHED MIDWAY FAIR
Nearly Every Evidence Of the Fair Has
Been Carried Away-It Is a
Pleasant Memorv

A~esSSsAAS AAAVAAAOAys
one of the best-known members of the
overland Club is still wearing a lame
pack, the result of trying to keep pace
IN one of the concessions in the Midway
saturday night. The club kept a small
army of police on the grounds all the
ulme, and besides this, a few of the boys
themselves served each night, to be sure
that things went well. The young man
IN question was doing his trick, when an
1ncapient row arose, which he attempt
ed TO quell. He waded in, and succeeded
in bringing measure of peace, when a
STRIPPING big fellow. armed with a cane,
gave him whack in the back with the
club that nearly laid him out. But the
peace maker carried a hickory shillalagh,
and the way he handed the warrior the
hot end Of the same was good sight to
DOCTORS and undertakers. The warrior
subsided with the one blow, and peace
was assured,
Several little squabbles were started at
various times on the grounds, but the
police stopped them before amy great
damage was done. One rather ludicrous
event occurred when a girl came out
dressed in boys clothing.
Through the efforts of the police. little
OR no complaint has been made Of pick
pockets. The gang that had been at
t'acted by the prospect of a big crowd
evids nt!y got scared, and did little work
in the city during the fair. Their two or
three rich hauls made at the beginning
of the race meeting made the people eau
tious, and they gave it up in disgust. or
e.se worked on easy victims who did not
report Their losses.
Thu lonesome merri-go-round is all
that is LEFT of the Midway conces-
sionaires, and that was here before the
f ir began. The streets are about clear
ed of the little which marked the vanish
ing city, and the children have carried
away almost every scrap Of colOred bunt-
ing, paper, and advertising cards. The
fair is thing of the past, in the minds
