and Highly Enjoyed.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
The Woman's club meeting yester-
day was not only the best attended,
but was unanimously decided to be
the most interesting n yet held.
Act III of CAS- You Like It" was the
subject for study and the wit with
which it bristles was well brought out
and much enjoyed.
The works of Meissonier was in
charge of Mrs. w. H. Morse, whose
thorough knowledge of the subject en-
abled her to present it in a most in
teresting manner. She gave a 15-min-
nte talk and accompanied it with
copies of the paintings described.
She had to review his education to
some extent in order that the paint.
ings might be better understood.
Among others described was "Fried'
land,' with Napoleon as the central
figure, while in the background the
sti1ed sobs of France may be eel
Mrs. James Mccormick had seen
the picture, and five minutes was
spent discussing it. Mrs. Sherman
gave a most interesting review of the
months current events.
Next Friday is to be social day, an6
Father Van Clarenbeck will deliver
lecture to the club on "The Art Of
Europe" or rather a description o.
some of the old masterpieces in the
European cathedrals and museums.

KILLED BY PREMATURE BLAST
Fatal Attempt to Fire a Shot Before
Going to His Breakfast.

News reached here today of a fatal
accident which occurred last Tuea1ay
morning at the Smith coal mine, in
Saltwater basin, near Nye City, wnen
Henry Smith met instant death as the
result of the premature explosion OF a
blast. He went into the tunnel alone
before breakfast to put in a couple of
shots in order that the smoke would
be cleared away in time for him to
go to work after the meal. On pre-
pairing breakfast his wife sent her
little boy to call his father to eat.
Just after the boy reached the mouth
of the tunnel the explosion took place.
Mrs. Smith, having a presentiment of
an impending calamity, hurried to the
mine and entered the tunnel, where
she found her husband dead and hor-
ribly multilated. The entire top of
his head and M hand had been blown
off and both legs were broken. Blood
and brains and fragments of flesh lit
orally covered the wall. Assistance
was summoned and the mutilated body
removed to the house near by.
1t is supposed the unfortunate man
was engaged in the attempt to make
a shot when the explosion took place.
The deceased was a brother of F. w.
Smith, a well-known rancher and cat
tleman of the Saltwater canyon.

ALL SHOULD ATTEND.
Professor Fortier Wants Good Attend
ance at Farmers Institute.


The success which attended the
farmers institute just held at Helena
has encouraged those who took the
chief part in the programme to look
for even better success and more
satisfactory results when the time
comes for holding an institute in a real
farming community, such as this. Pro-
fessor Fortier, director of the United
States experiment station of the state
agricultural college and secretary of
the administrative board of farmers
Institutes requests The Gazette to an
nounce that the first farmers insti-
tute to be held in Billings under the
new law will take place December q
and %. He would be glad to have
all the farmers and stockmen of the
county attend and tax e an active
part in the dicussions and give the
results Of their own experience, and
thereby give the proceedings a practi
cal turn.

feast was greatly relished.
At 8 O'Clock a reception was held in
the assembly room Of the new high
school building. This had been con-
verted into an immense drawing o
by the pupils and teachers and pre-
scented an inviting scene. Black,
orange and red filmy bunting had been
draped around the entire room, and
also formed a canopy overhead. There
were palms, ferns and blooming plants
banked in various hooks. The walls
were hung with many paintings, and
ropes of juniper were used to adorn
the windows and doorways, while
green twigs tied with ribbons of the
school colors were arranged about the
walls and draperies.
'Welcome, Helena High School"
was in large letters along the end of
the hall. There we're rugs, divans,
cushions and easy chairs for the com
fort of the guests. The most attrac-
tive feature of the room, however,
was the Indian corner, with it's drep-
cries, couch, Navajo blankets, cush-
ions, and the walls filled with curios
from almost every tribe in the United
States. The opposite corner of the
room was in oriental effect and was
also the source of much admiration.
The guests of the evening included
the pupils Of the high school, the
faculty, mayor, members of the school
board, a number of prominent citi-
i zens and the Helena team, together
with Professor Johnston, principal of
the Helena high school. After greet
ings were extended an informal mus
ical programme was rendered.
Messrs. j. A. Gilluly and Ira Whitney
each sang pleasing selections and
Misses Winnie Burton and Jessie Rails

N T SHELTER SITE.
Clark Representatives Looking Over
Field at Big Timber.

A few days ago parties supposed to
be representating Senator w. A.
Clark of Butte visited this city for
the purpose of investigating the Bould-
er river power and other advantages
Big Timber offered as a site for the
location of a smelter, says the Pioneer
of that place. The gentlemen were
surprised at the volume of water and
the immense power which the Boulder
can furnish and were favorably i'm
pressed with Big Timber for a loca-
ton.
Senator Clark has several other
points in view for the location of the
new smelter he intends to build,
among them being Great Falls and
Livingston, but it will probably be
some time yet before a location is
selected.

NORTHERN PACIFIC TRAINS WILL
RUN AS THEY HAVE.
DIFFERENCE IN NAME ONLY
Road Already Making Preparation for
Next Seasons Park
Business.

Anaconda Standard: The north
coast limited train on the Northern
Pacific was discontinued yesterday.
but there will be practically no change
in the train service of the road. The
change will be in name only, or rather
in numbers. The north coast trains
are known as Nos. / and 2, but in
their places will run Nos. II and IL,
the former %westbound and the latter
eastbound, both running by way OF
Butte, The disc%ontinuance of the OBJ
servation car and the change in the
numbers of the trains will be the only
difference in the service during the
winter. There will be still two through
trains each way on the Northern Pa
ciic between st. Paul and the coast,
two of the trains running by way of
Helena and connecting at Logan and
Garrison with local trains from Butte.
Nos. S and 6, the Burlington train,
will continue to run between Billings
and Helena on the Northern Pacific,
so that the Montana division of the
road will still have three trains a day.
An addition for the convenience of
Butte travellers will be provided be-
tween Butte and st. Paul by a stand
ard sleeper, which will be attached to
the through train and will leave st.
Paul for the first trip tomorrow, ar
irving in Butte on No. 10 from Logan.
It will make it's first trip out of Butte
on December 4, and regularly there
after, as part of the through train. 1t
will be open at the depot at 9 O'Clock
in the evening, so that passengers may
use it early in the evenong without
the necessity of waiting for the arrival
of the train itself.
The Northern Pacific is already pre-
pairing for next seasons Yellowstone
park business. Notice has been is
sued that next year the park will be
opened on the first of June instead Of
June Is.

MAN AND MONEY GONE.
Saloon Porter Disappears, Likewise
Contents of Cash Drawer.

Contents of Cash Drawer.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
The proprietors of the Oak saloon
in Minnesota avenue, are deplokdg
the sudden disappearance of their
porter, who vanished yesterday morn
ing. Their grief at his departure is
augmented by the loss of sos in cash,
which also disappeared at the same
time. Both man and money faded
away about 10 o'clock, when the por-
ter was temporarily in charge of the
place, the bartender having gone out
to get shaved. The money was kept
in a safe, but it did not happen to be
locked at the time, although the cash
drawer was secured, but this was
pried open by the thief, who in going
also helped himself to a new hat
which belonged to another party. The
man was a comparative stranger in
the city, having arrived only a month
or two ago and when employed gave
every appearance of having been a
tramp. Nobody seems to know his
name.
The police were notified as soon
as the theft was discovered, but the
most diligent search failed to reveal
any trace of the missing man. He is
believed to have boarded one of the
trains which arrived about that time
and escaped.

STRONG PROOF OF GUILT.
discriminating Testimony Against Al
legged Murderer Of David.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.

#
Furthern particulars concerning the
murder of Hobo Davis" at Bridger,
a brief account of which appeared in
yesterdays Gazette, have been ascer-
tanned. The name of the murdered
man was Davis David and he cooked
at Horner's boarding house, a place
frequented by miners and others en-
ployed in the camp. The name Of
the man under arrest for the crime is
Andrew Belanc, a Russian miner. He
and David had a quarrel over a game
it is said that Belanc was heard to
make threats against him afterward
and it was knowledge Of this that
caused the officers to arrest the sus-
pect as soon as they learned Of the
homicide.
When taken into custody Belanc was
in a saloon and the sleeves of his coat
bore fresh blood stains and in addi-
ton particles of matter supposed to
be brains of the dead man were also
adhering to his clothing. AS the head
of David had been crushed with a
hammer, which was found near where
the body lay, and particles of brains
chung to the instrument used in kill
ing him, the proof Of the Russians
guilt is considered quite conclusive.
But what is regarded as still stronger
! evidence against him is the fact that
foot tracks near the body showed a
peculiar patch on the sole Of n of
the shoes worn by the murderer and
upon examination it is said it was
found that one of the shoes Belanc
had on when arrested had a patch
on the sole which fitted the track ex
actly. A plaster cast was made of the
track found near the body and will
be used as evidence in the trial of the
alleged murderer.
In going from the boarding house
to the place where he slept David
always passed along the coal sheds
and as his body was found in the path
in front of the sheds the supposition
is that Belanc waylaid him and taking
advantage of the darkness pounced
upon him with the hammer and beat
him to death.

MURDER At BRlDGER.
Game of Cards Supposed to Have Re-
suited In Killing.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.

From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
News of the killing of a man at
Bridger, known as Hobo Dave" a
cook by occupation, was received
here yesterday. The murdered man
was found in one of the streets of the
camp the night before and from the
nature Of his injuries it was evident
that a hammer was the weapon en-
ployed by his slayer. Although not
yet dead when found, the man died a
few minutes afterward.
AS a result of an investigation a
miner has been arrested, charged with
the commission of the murder. At
the coroner's inquest, held yesterday,
it developed that the murdered man
and the one charged with having kill.
ed him had had some trouble over a
game of cards. "Hobo. Dawes" life
had been threatened since then and
the authoritis are aiming to fix the
responsibility for his death.

Football Game Results In Defeat for
Visitors.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
.'Rah! Rah! Rah!
Siz-boOm-ah!
Billings High School,
Rah! Rah! Rah!"

s- r l
Was the yell which rent the air
Thursday afternoon after the football
battle at the fair grounds, in which
the team from the Billings high school
defeated the Helena high school by a
score of II to 5. There were several
hundred people to witness the game,
and the home boys were cheered on to
victory by the unbounded enthusiasm
of their loyal supporters. Although
the members of the home team aver
aged several pounds lighter than their
opponents, they made the greater part
of their gains by a plays, center
which the opposing team were unable
to stop. The game was as clearly
played as any ever witnessed on the
local gridiron, and in no instance was
smuggling or unnecessary ~roughness Wis
ible. The game was practically free
from kicking" only occasional dis
cussions arising as to which side was
entitled to the possession of the ball.
While every single player in the
home team did splendid work and
their line held almost like a stone
wall, the individual honors, if any
were to be bestowed, would fall to
Forrest Smart, full back, Charles Hoe,
left half and Warren Gruwell, right
half.
Mayor ". B. George acted as time
keeper of the game, Edward Swan of
Helena umpire, and Louis Babcock
as referee.
The game was called at 3 O'Clock
and in. the toss up Billings got the
ball and in a few minutes had made
a touchdown and Smart kicked the
goal. All the points were scored in
the first half, Billings winning two
more touchdowns. Helena made one,
but failed to kick the goal
In the last half of the game Helena
did much better playing and every
inch of the ground was fought for.
Billings at one time had the ball with
in five feet of a touchdown, when
Helena secured it and slowly fought
their way across the field with it I'M
til it was within the 15-yard line of
another touchdown when time was
called.
The contest was a splendid one from
start to finish, both elevens moving
like machinery with hat constant
tug, pull and push in which neither
eleven could gain much ground.
