Mr.. Callister stated that he expect

GIRARD Is BACK.
Unsuccessful Effort to Brighten Mar
Into Leaving Town.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Because he is a man not easily
frightened, E. H. Girard is still in the
city following his vocation as plumber,
despite the attempt made last Monday
night to scare him out of town and
county. Mr.. Girard is n of the men
employed by Soule, the plumber, to
take the places of those who recently
went on a strike, and consequently is
regarded with disfavor by those be-
longing to the union and is designated
as a "scab."
Monday night while at his boarding
house on the north side he was called
out by a couple of men in a buggy,
who said his services were needed out
in the country to do a job. Not sus-
pecting anything wrong, he got into
the vehicle with the men and they
drove out into the direction Of the
place where it was said work was
awaiting him. When a couple of miles
away the men informed him that it
was all a blind and they had been
delegated to see that he left the city,
and to make sure that he would do
So, they drove him about a dozen miles
further, where they hustled him out
of the buggy and told him to keep
on walking with his face turned in a
direction opposite from that in which
he had come.
Instead of obeying the injunction,
Girard waited until the men in the
buggy were out of sight, when he
started back toward town and arrived
in the city shortly after midnight and
went to bed. Yesterday morning he
arose and reported at the shop as
usual and related his experiences OF
the night before, being no worse for
it, except, perhaps, a little tired be-
cause of his enforced exercise and loss
of sleep, and worked throughout the
day as though nothing had happened

HAVE ALL THEY WANT.
Grower Who Thinks Wool Buyers are
Filled Up.

1t is the opinion Of Nathan Godfrey,
the we'll known sheepman of Meagher
county, that the wool buyers at the
Billings market have about secured all
the wool they desire for this season.
and that they have received orders
from their houses to go light in the
way of making additional purchases.
There is still in the neighborhood of
1000, 900 pounds of wool stored at
Billings, and the sales have amounted
to almost 12,O00,0 900 pounds.
81 sold my clip consisting of about
$4,000 pounds yesterday" he said to
the Helena Independent, "and while
the wool would compare favorably
with the best clips sold early in the
season, the best bid I could secure
was 1917 cents. The market seemed
to get SUDDENLY dull yesterday, but
few of the buyers would bid prices
that would be accepted by the grow
ers. This was true with wool of all
grades.
"One clip, which was of rather a
poor quality, however, went for six
cents, the lowest price which has been
paid at the market this year. This
was far below the average price paid,
which ranged between 10 and II cents.
The best price paid during the day
was 1875 cents, which Dewey, Gould
& Co. paid for a $1,000 pound clip
owned by DR.. Holloway of Two Dot.
'"There is about 100000 pounds
left on the cars and in the warehouses
at Billings, and, while there are some
good clips included in this lot. the
most of it is of a rather poor grade.
Judging from the actions of the buy
ers yesterday, l concluded that they
had received instructions from their
respective houses, to make but few
more purchases. This, however, is
only a surmise of mine, based on q
rather close observation of the &C
lions of the buyers"

Validity of School Board Contracts
With Teachers.

With Teachers.
The question of the validity of a
contract made by a school board with
a teacher may possibly be tested as
the result Of the action of the Marys-
vile board of trustees in cancelling
it's contract with Professor Titus, who
was principal of the Marysville
schools.
The board of trustees of the Marys-
vile district was anxious to cut down
expenses. says the Herald, and can
celled it's contract with Professor
Titus and served notice on him to
that effect. The deposed principal
contests the authority of the board
to ignore or cancel his contract, and
he has referred the question to the
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton for review.
Under the old law school boards
could not enter into contracts with
teachers for a period to exceed three
months. The last legislature repeal
ed the law and left the statute silent
on the subject of contracts, except
that it is made a misdeamor for a
board to contract with a teacher who
is not possessed of the requisite and
statutory qualifications.

With one desperate swing of his
