What Others Say.

A certain man who is q star
boarder at one Of Columbus
fashionable boarding houses,
had a habit, when he would go
to the table of glancing around
at the layout and would then
mutter to himself, Hebrew l3-
g." The landladv's curiousity
was somewhat aroused at the
mans words Hebrew 1873,
and finally went to the attic
and getting out the family bible,
brushed the dust and cobwebs
off the exterior and looked up
Hebrew 1873" and read. To
say that she was surprised
would be saving it mildly. But
the mans tactics had the desired
effect and you'll know why when
YOU look it up.-Portage Demo-
crat.
. o O
, A bill is before the state legis
lature to compel peddlers to not
only pay the state license fee,
but local fees as well. This IS q
move in the right direction and
it is to be hoped that it will be-
come a law. It will practically
make it impossible for the trav-
cling hawker to do business, as
his profits are not sufficiently
large enough to permit of his
taking out a license in the dit
ferent towns he may visit. The
bill, if passed. will put the hawk
er and peddler on the same basis
as the transient merchant and it
is right that they should be. 1t
will prove q protection to the
permanent merchant who helps
to build cities and maintain the
same with their proportion OF
taxation. By all means pass the
bill and pass it quick.-Rhine-
lander New North.

A Prohibition editor has heard
that alcohol can be made OF

of a man going out with rip

rail fence. There is really moth

Men have been known to get
drunk ON water. In fact, a man
may get drunk on water just as

would demand a trial by jury.
Ryan was finally discharged. after

KILLED AT CODY.
Will Knight Accidently Shot by a
Friend.

A Red Lodge dispatch says: Word
has been received here of the killing
Of Will Knight at Cody, Wyo., Monday
night in a very strange manner.
Knight formerly lived in this city and
is we'll known in this country. Of
late he has been conducting a rest
aurant in Cody.
It seems that Charles Turner, a car
penter, also formerly of this city. who
boarded with Knight and was appar-
emily a good friend. came into
knights restaurant and asked if he
could sell him a gun. Knight replied
that he had guns in plenty and drew
two Colts revolve1s from under the
pillow.
Turner asked if they were loaded
and made a rush at Knight. In the
mixup one Of the runs was discharged,
the ball entered Knights abdomen,
passing through the liver. He died
in 20 minutes. Turner was arrested
and taken to Basin City to have a
hearing. It is believed the shooting
was purely accidental.

in Seattle.
A Seattle dispatch to the Anaconda
Standard under date of March 6, says
Miss Gussie McGruey, who, accord.
ing to her mother, Mrs. Ella McGruey,
Of Livingston, Mont, was stolen IL
years ago and who was found in Sc
attic yesterday, vas interviewed today
by a Standard correspondent.
81 have not heard from my mother
since I was taken away IL years ago."
said she.
The news that her mother was in
Livingston was a complete surprise to
her.
II was only a little tot when I was
taken from my mother, but I can dis
tinctly remember circumstances IT.
rounding the affair. I want to see
her. I do not know that we were
kidnapped, but I never knew where my
mother was, whether she were living
or dead, until yesterday I noticed an
article in the newspaper. l have al
ready sent my mother word of my
whereabouts and I understand the pO-
lice have done likewise"
It appears that Miss McGruey and
another sister were taken from their
parents and illegally adopted by a
family named Robinson at Sheridan,
Wyo., ~ years ago. Afterwards G.
H. ketchum, the girls grandfather,
secured possession of Gussie and all
the time kept her in Ignorance of the
whereabouts Of her parents, who
mourned for their two daughters as
LOST.
Mrs. McGruey, it appears, labored
under the impression that both girls
had been kidnapped. She could hear
from neither, nor could she find
where they had been taken When
Miss McGruey's sister was IS years of
age she married a man at Sheridan,
Wyo., but in the meantime the girl at
present in Seattle was taken with the
Ketchum family to Billings, Mont,
from which place they came to this
city several years ago. March 2,
1900, the grandfather and family
moved from this city to Whatcom and
Miss McGruey went out t. work as a
domestic in a private family.

A DUMPING PLACE.
Billings Gets the Poor and Sick from
Other Cities.

Billings seems to be a dumping place
for the poor and sick of other cities of
the state. Particularly is this true as
applied to Carbon and Park county
cities. Red Lodge evidently makes
a practice of shipping it's paupers to
this city, as the authorities on several
occasions have been called upon to
take in charge people who claim their
railroad fares have been paid to Bill
ings. Only the other day there was
arrested an old gentleman for drunken
ness. When taken into police court
the next day he stated that the au-
thorities of Livingston had given him
$40 and sent him to Billings. This
statement is verified by a report of the
commissioners proceedings of Park
county. Livingston a year ago also
sent a smallpox patient to Billings,
just because this city and county had
taken the %precaution to have a pest
house erected.

WHERE SMALLPOX ORIGINATED.
Grading Camps Have Furnished Most of
. .- ..... the Patients.

The grading camps on the Tolnca-
Cody branch of the Burlington seem
fated to have a siege of smallpox, the
latest to contract it being Conner's,
where three laborers are i'll with the
disease. "
Had it not been for these camps it
is very likely that Billings would to-
day be free of the disease. Nearly
all the cases at the pesthouse have
been brought in from these camps.
In most instances those cases origi-
mating in Billings are believed to have
been caused directly by laborers from
those camps, hundreds of whom have
been in the city at different times dur
ing the winter. Hardly any of the
laborers work at the grades more than
a month or two when they come to
Billings and a few days o. weeks
afterward strike for new fields.
1t is suggested that the county
establish a pesthouse Of tents near
Pryor gap, and thus avoid bringing
those patients into Billings and sub
jecting the citizens to exposure. Those
making the suggestion say that sup
plies and medicine could be taken
out to them there and a physician
placed in charge.
There is a probability that Nc
Shane's camp of 1915 men, which is
under quarantine, will develop into
a regular hotbed Of smallpox, and it
will be impossible to care for any
small portion of them in the pesthouse
near the city. The county commits
sioners now in session in this city
will meet today to make arrangements
for caring for smallpox patients from
the grading camps at Pryor.
Carbon county, which sent the first
patient to this county last fall and
now refuses to pay for his care, is said
to be carrying on a sort of diplomatic
act By having patients sent here from
grading camps, which are located in
that county. If such can be proved
Carbon county is likely to have a
much larger suit on it's hands than at
present.

COUNTY HEALTH BOARD ORD
Frs BRIDGES GUARDED.
FOR PROTECTION OF CITY
Permission Will Be Required to
Enter or Leave City by
Southern Roads.

The county commissioners met as a
board of health Saturday forenoon
with a full board present. After care
fully considering the smallpox situa-
tion and deeming it advisable for the
protection Of the community, the Bill
ings wagon bridge and Northern Pa
cific railroad bridge we're placed under
quarantine, and four deputy sheriffs
appointed to enforce the quarantine.
The quarantine does not apply to
actual settlers or to teams coming
from the Wyoming country, but no
person will be allowed to cross over
either bridge into Billings without
having a pass under the seal of the
county. The sheriff will go to each
settlement and furnish settlers with
official passes. Z.
The board also appointed an officer
to act as guard at the p%esthouse, with
full authority to arrest and forcibly
detain all persons attempting to leave
the place without being finally dis
charged theref1om. Such officer is
also authorized and instructed to see
that the physician in charge shall
thoroughly disinfect himself on each
visit to the pesthouse prior to return
to the city, and not allow such physi-
clan to leave the pesthouse until he
shall have complied with the above
instructions. IL
The commissioners met as a board
of county commissioners afterward
and discussed the ACCESSIBILITY of erect
ing a pesthouse on the reservation in
the affected district. The board will
go to Pryor tomorrow and look the
ground over thoroughly and take nee
essary steps regarding the matter.

GROWTH OF BILLINGS PosToFF1cE.
Receipts for Year Will Amount to Over
Twelve Thousand Dollars.

Twelve Thousand Dollars.
The close Of the fiscal year for the
Billings postoffice will occur March
81. By that time the business that
will have been done will amount to
over ST., 900, which will be an in
creas of over 1900 over that of the
year closing March 81, last, when it
amounted to a little over $40, 900 and
insured Billings a free delivery system.
The system has been carried on for
satisfaction.
The postofice is a barometer of the
city's condition and the fact that the
business of the office has increased
over So, 900 in a year goes to show that
business is good along other lines, for
the postal service and the railroads are
about the first to suffer when business
is depressing. The increase is not due
to any special effort on the part of
Postmaster Babcock or anyone con-
nected with the office, as the post
master has made it a rule during his
term, which began about four years
ago, to let the office grow on its
merits, and the growth has been due
entirely to the expansion of business
throughout the city.

inspector, was in the city a few days
ago, and spoke f1atteringly of the
management of the Billings Office, say

Another Rumor About Extension to Bill
lings of Montana Railroad.

Forged passes to the value of thou
sands Of dollars have been foated on
the Illinois Central railroad during
the last three months, and a few days
ago detectives descended upon a Clark
street scalper's Office in Chicago and
arrested W. A. %Stineborn, the pro-
prietor, and his clerk. Joseph Adler.
The spurious transpo1 tation checks
are pronounced to be among the clev-
crest of their kind ever made by
counte1feiters, and were first dis
covered last December. Clerks then
found that the passes credited to the
personal injury claim agent. L. L.
Losey, did not correspond with the
slips in his books, and a hasty exami-

No one can accuse the Burlington
route Of not doing its share in the up
building of the northwest. Thursday,
February ID, it transferred to the
Northern Pacific at Billings no less
than SGT passengers. February 81,
80 passengers were transferred, and
Oh February %, 295 more. In other
words, in three days the Burlington
has added nearly 1900 people to the
population of Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon. All of which goes
to show that the Burlington is fast be-
coming a big factor in travel to and
from this section of the country.

A New York special to the Mime
apolis Journal says there are occa-
SIGNALS rumors waited about the street
connecting James J.. Hill with the
Burlington. But little credence is
placed in these stories, as the Burling-
ton is regarded as too big and too rich
a corporation for Mr.. Hill, or any
other man, to easily take over. All
sorts of rumors of combinations and
consultations are heard and just now
it is the B~urlington's turn to be alb
sorbed. y
Well defined rumors are in circula-
tion that in the spring the Montana
Railroad company will extend its line
from Harlowton to Billings, follow
ing a survey made, east of the Sweet
Grass divide, some years ago. The
extension would pass through a mag
nificent stock country and would take
from the Great Northern heavy ship
ments of cattle and sheep.

The railway employees of nearly
every eastern road have made appli-

roads made a 10 per cent cut in en-
ployes' wages with the understanding
that the wages would be restored with
the return of normal earnings.

Peddler Pays Fine and Is Made to Take

David Peton, an Italian peddler of
rugs, tried to bluff the license law
Saturday and as a result is wiser to
the extent of about $15. Peton came
to the city a couple of days ago and

He was advised to take out the license,
but did not do so, and as a result was
arrested and taken before Justice
Mann. Peton demanded a jury trial,
but he soon changed his mind and
offered to compromise, SO he could get
out OF the city on the noon train.
County Attorney Hathhorn refused to
compromise on any condition. saying
that nothing would 60 but a fine of
$40 and costs and payment Of a
peddler's license. After much DELHI

city after paying his fine, he remained
here and will stay until he gets even
