Robert James, who was taken to
the asylum for the insane Monday by
Sheriff Hubbard, caused no little ex-
element between Billings and Living

for when Sheriff Hubbard reached
that city with his prisoner, several
Park county officials together with a
large crowd met the train to examine
the man. OF course, he in no manner
resembled Young's murderer. How
James became imbued with such an
idea is hard to determine.

The Denver Post of Sunday pub
lished a map of the northwest states
with the following explanation: "The
Burlington will extend it's lines from
Billings, Mont, to Portland, Ore,
and thus secure a desirable terminus
on the Pacific caost. In the race for
transcontinental traffic it's directors
are determined to hold their own.
Closer alliances than those now exist

running east from Chicago. A.system
from sea to sea is contemplated"
