horse stealing, and was prosecuted by
o. F. Goddard, then county attorney.
Charles Spear appeared as the prose-
cutting witness and although the testi-
mony was considered sufficient to war
rant a conviction, the jury acquitted
the fellow.
Yesterday afternoon the three gen
tlemen mentioned met and discussed
the trial Of DeWolfe and many in
stances in connection with it were re-
called by them. MI. Lane expressed
regret that the mar was not convict
ed here, saying it might have resulted
in his reformation, as his escape
seems to have made a confirmed trust
Ter" out of him, for since then he has
been arrested a number of times, but
the same good fortune that stood him
in need here has enabled him to es-
cape conviction each time. According
to all accounts he is up against it
this time, as the evidence against him
is said to be quite conclusive and
his conviction is expected.

and care that had evidently been
spent in preparing for it. Pink and
white were employed exclusively in
decorating. Carnations, roses and
chrysanthemums were used in great
profusion. The scene was one of great
beauty, the entire front of the church
being a perfect bank of green, inter-
woven with thousands of the delicate
blossoms. The altar, chancel rail and
steps were decorated with a perfect
lattice work of smilax, %bordered with
carnations. Huge punches of these
flowers tied with wide white satin rib
bons were effectually arranged about
chancel rail and steps. Vases of car
nations and innumerable candiesticks
with pink candles and shades adorned
the altar, while at it's base were hun
dreds of feathery chrysanthemums.
The choir walls were banked with ev-
ergreens and the whole frightened
with masses of pink and white flowers
put in convenient places. Bouquets

Indians are TRUSTEES" at the Deer
Lodge prison and are given as much
freedom as possible under the circum-
stances. The petition for their re-
lease was industriously circulated by
one Lucy Oldhorn, a fair and quite in
telligent member Of the Grow tribe.
Lucy speaks English fuently and did
not lack for words in pleading for
signatures among Billings people and
obtained many signers to the
prayer for mercy. But opposition has
since arisen to Miss Oldhorn's efforts
to secure the favor of Governor Toole.
It is stated that the Indians are not
deserving of executive clemency and
had they been tried before a jury
their sentence would have been far
more severe.
Allowing for time reduction from
the sentence of the court without the
intervention of the governor, Daylight
and Straycalf will secure their free.

Objection is made to the applica-

Indians were sentenced early last
spring in this city for stealing and

at Huntley. Their arrest was made
by Inspector Collins of the stock
association and when confronted with
the charge of theft before the dis

statute. Judge Loud sentenced each
to one year in the penitentiary.

Sometime ago The Gazette contain
ed an account of the arrest at Great
Falls of M Percy DeWolfe on the
charge of horse stealing. His trial
began in that city last Monday. A
copy of a newspaper containing an
account of the first days proceedings
found it's way yesterday into the
hands of Attorney Glib Lane and after
refurbishing his memory a little Mr..
Lane recognized in the prisoner the
same man whom he defended in this

SENATOR CLARK FAVoRABL e.
Will Give His Influence to Matters
Concerning the City.

Senator w. A. Clark has assured
the business men of Billings that he
will work to theT Interests in all mat
tiers pertaining to~the future growth
and prosperity of the city.
Recently some matters likely to eff
feet the city's future welfare were
called to the senator's attention and
the reply received from him was such
as to give to the people of the city
confidence that the junior senator
from the state proposes to do all he
can in behalf of the commercial in
terests of Billings.
Senator Clark went east a few
mornings ago booked for a hurried
business trip to Europe. He took oc-
casion to say that he would have a
talk with those in authority relative
to the proposed extension of the Bur-
| lington railway to Great Falls. It will
be remembered that it has been per-
sistently reported that the Burlington
would build north from Huntley, a
| small station IA miles east of Billings
and a committee of citizens was ap
pointed to interview the senator and
find out if there is any truth to the
report. The same committee also call
ed Senator Clark's attention to the
necessity for extending the Toluca
Cody branch of the Burlington into
Billings, and this matter together will

A FUTURE GREAT.
New Wyoming Town That Will Soon
Be Heard From.

New Wyoming Town That Will Soon
Be Heard From.
This is the coming pleasure and
health resort of the northwest"
The speaker was the Hon. j. D.
Losekamp and he used the expression
quoted yesterday afternoon while
showing some views of the Thermopo-
lis Hot springs which he secured on
the occasion of his recent visit to
that place. In answer to questions
Mr.. Losekamp said that the time was
rapidly approaching when the springs
would be as famous as are some of
the more noted health resorts of the
country at the present time. Geo
graphically he said the springs are in
the northeast corner of Big Horn
county, Wyoming, about six miles
north of the canyon of the Big Horn
river and 1875 miles from Billings.
The nearest railroad point at present
is Cody, which is 80 miles distant and
in order to reach the springs and the
town of Thermopolis it is necessary
to go by stage from Cody over a good
road, which makes the trip less ard
uous than would be supposed.
Speaking Of the springs he said the
| daily flow is 10, 800, 900 gallons of
water Of 1872 degrees Farenheit, or
enough to supply each man, woman
and child in the land with a quart Of
hot mineral water every day. At pres
ent the accommodations are very
limited, being restricted to a small
house containing a few rooms, and
calculated only for summer use. A
new and commodious hotel will be
erected, however, next season, the man
owning the present bath house having
secured a lease of ten years with the
option of an extension for twice that
length of time. The state owns the
springs and has refused all offers
made by parties who have been anx
ious to buy them.
On the west of the Big Horn and
mile away is the city of Thermopolis
for it is a regular city, being incorpor
ated under the laws of Wyoming, al
though having only a population O.
about 600 souls. The city is unusu
ally prosperous and thrifty, notwith
standing it has been in existence TO:
about only two years. 1t boasts o
two. banks, a good hotel, with severe
more building, we'll stocked stores,
number of restaurants and all tn
other branches of business usual,
found in a wide awake, western town
AS to the future of the city Mr.. Lose
kamp entertains no doubt and has gi1
en- proof of his faith by buying
large number of lots in the bushes
and residence portion of the town. II
says that the springs alone will /
time be sufficient to maintain a cit
of the size of Hot Springs, Ark, bu
that Thermopolis is not solely depend
ent upon the springs for it's groWt
and existence. It is located in tn
heart of one of the best agriculture
countries in the west. while 1t is ais
the center of a range territory tha
cannot be excelled anywhere. 1t

may decide to extend it's line to tn

ments it holds out Mr. Losekam

the proposed northern extension of the
same road will have his hearty CO.
operation.
AS is well known Senator Clark has
recently become a prominent figure in
western railway life. 1t is stated on
the very best of authority that he is
consulted frequently by the Hill-Mor-
gan syndicate and while not on the
directory Of the newly formed combin-
alton he knows it's entire programme
by reason of the proposed construc-
ton of a line Of his own from Salt
Lake to Los Angeles.

says he will be greatly mistaken II
some road does not build into the
city within the next few years. The
passenger business alone would, in
his opinion, almost pay for the con-
struction and maintenance Of a road,
as the springs are bound soon to be
as popular with seekers after pleasure
and health as are the Hot Springs of
Arkansas OF some of the others which
are now attracting people from all
over he world. Last summer over
LOCO persons visited them and lived
in tents during the stay.
Another source of latent wealth are
the large deposits of building stone,
gray, white and red sandstone existing
there in exhaustible quantities. Add
ed to these are the coal mines which
have been opened about eight miles
from the city. Mr.. Losckamp person
ally inspected the latter and says
that, like the stone quarries, they are
inexhaustible.
