A AN ACCIDENT.
No One Held Responsible for Arthur
Mckay's Death.

Arthur Mckay died at st. Vincent's
hospital Sunday morning from the
effects of injuries, which he is said
to have received while attempting to
remove a handcor from the track to
avoid a w%estbound passenger train
about three-quarters of a mile west
OF the Huntley quarries, last Friday
morning.
The deceased and three other work
men on the extra gang" at the quar-
ries had been to Billings for the
Fourth, and left the city at lis a. m.
Friday, for their camp, riding on a
handcar. At a curve in the track
they met the w%estbound train, and
at once proceeded to remove the
handcar, when Mckay slipped and fell
on the track. One of the other men
rolled him off the track, and the
others all jumped safely to mi side.
The engine struck the handcar with
terrific force, hurting it about so feet,
and Mckay must have been struck
by il. He was brought to Billings,
and taken to the hospital, where he
remained in a stupor until he died.
Coroner Chapple empanelled a jury
yesterday to inquire into the death
of the man. The friends who brought
Mckay to this city were summoned
from Huntley and the inquest was
held last night. Their testimony was
to the above effect. DIR. Rinehart,
who performed a pose norton exam
nation of the body Of the deceased,
found a large fracture of the inner
table Of the skull.
The jury returned a verdict in ac-
cordance with the facts as above stat
ed, and ~exonerated the railway COM
pany and it's employs from all blame.
Mckay had been working on the
Burlington section south of Huntley.
He vas a man about go years Of age.
He had a brother living in Pennsyl-
vania and the body will be held
awaiting advices from him.

SHOWS A SATISFACTORY IN
CREASE OVER LAST YEAR.
LESS CATTLE ON Tx; RANGE
Together With Lower Rate Makes
Some Difference-Nearly
Five Million.

The assessed valuation of property
in Yellowstone county as just COM
pleted, by County Assessor A. P.
Smith and Deputy E. L. Fenton shows
a very gratifying increase. Several
changes were made in the valuation
of stock this year by which cattle
were assessed SO per head less and
sheep rs cents per head less, yet de-
spite all this the increase is nearly as
great as that of last year. According
to the report there are fewer stock
cattle in the county this year than
there were last, and this makes quite
a difference. Increases are noted in
nearly every item. The railroad as
sessment is yet to be added to that
made by Assessor Smith after it has
been determined by the state board
Of equalization. This last year
amounted to $772,456, while this year
it is expected that it will be some
larger, as the board increases it from
year to year. The total assessment
last year for the county, not including
the railroads was $4,393,171.
From the following one may be
able to tell something of the valua-

More clips of wool were sold yes
on any other day this season, but in
point of amount the days sales did
not compare with that of last Satur-

ALBANY FULL OF SOLDIERS.
No Settlement Reached-Will Not
Discharge Nou-Union Men.
COUNCIL WOULD ARBlTRATE,

Albany, N. y, May 2o.-No settle
ment has been reached in the railway
strike After hours of conference the
officials of the United Traction COM
pany and the committee from the
organization of the strikers adjourned
without changing the situation. The
company will proceed to run it's ears
on every line within the city limits
with the aid of military force that
now numbers 1000 men, The only
step toward settlement that was made
was the appointment of committee
from the common council to arbitrate
and the adoption of resolution de-
claring that if settlement is not
effected by Monday night the council
shall revoke the franchise of the COM
pany
The company declares that such
action will be of no effect, as the road
now has vested right that cannot be
taken away from it.
The company refuses to discharge
the men brought from other points,
This is new phase of the difficulty
and promises to develop far more seri-
Gus consequences and impediments in
the way of settlement than have been
anticipated at any time since the strike
was called 1t is matter which had
not been considered by the strikers or
the public, and puts an entirely new
aspect on the situation. The company
was willing to increase the wages of
the extra men and night trippers to
193i cents per hour, but refused to
establish uniform rate of 20 cents an
hour for all employees, as required by
the strikers.
A drenching rain succeeding warm,
humid day, made it unpleasant for the

effect of clearing the street corners of
crowds. Six hundred additional troops
