or razor extending from ear to ear.
He was brought to Butte by a police
officer from the asylum. He refuses
to talk anil may still be insane"
James was sent to Warm Springs a
few weeks ago from this county, in
stead Of Park county. He vas a
grader for McShane Bros. at their
camp at Pryor gap, where he made an
unsuccessful attempt at suicide by
slashing his neck with a razor. One
of his hallucinations was that he was
the murderer of Sheriff Young.
While taking him to the asylum
Sheriff Hubbard teleg1aphed the Off
GERS Of Park county and when the
train reached Livingstone a number Of
people were there to see the prisoner
and identify him if possible. After
seeing him the officers announced
that James was not the man wanted.
It is thought that he had read of the
killing of Sheriff Young and the hunt
for the murderer until it so preyed
On his mind as to cause him to believe
he was the murderer.

the board since his election four years
ago, and as such has proved a most
efficient and capable official. He has
devoted considerable time and atten-
ton to promoting the interests Of edu-
cation in Billings and it has been a
pleasure to him to see the schools adj
vancing as they have done the past
three years, until now they stand in
the front ranks Of the educational in
situations of Montana. The high
school is one of the six that are on the
accredited list at the state university.

taken a deep interest in the welfare of
the schools and are doing their ut
most to advance their standing by adj
vice and assistance in whatever way
possible.

IN SOCIETY

Lent with it's 40 days Of penitence
has caused a dearth of society events
and if the next four weeks are as
quiet as the last two have been Bill
ings people will have little to do in
the way Of entertainment. Even the
theatres feel the effects of the Lenten
season and at the parties that have
taken place there has been an absence
Of the prominent society leaders, many
of whom are observing Lent.

Bowling has become quite a fad in
most cities among the society folks,
but in Billings bowling died for want
of patronage some months ago. There
is no sport that is SO interesting or
less severe or so harmless as bowling.
Unless Dame Rumor reports falsely
the coming spring will chronicle a
number Of weddings among the young
people of Billings. 1t is said that no
less than n 'ralf-dozen are counted
among the coming society events.

Stock Shipped Here to Sell.

County Assessor A. P. Smith and
his deputy, E. L. Fenton, have evi.
IDENTIFY started out to get the assess.
ment of Yellowstone county in good
shape.
Hearing that a couple of eastern
cattlemen were here with shipments
Of cattle, which they :.were selling to
the ranchmen, the deputy assessor
called upon the owners, E. Freeman
and l. L. Seekins, for the taxes on the
cattle. The owners thought they
were being held up, but it was all to
no purpose. The cattle had been
brought in here and were here on the
first Monday in March, when proper
ty is assessed, and all the owners could
do was to pay the taxes, which

SUBJECTS FOR REFORM SCHOOL.
Colored and White Boy in Police
Court,

Charey Powers, colored. and Joseph
Johnson, white, two lads, were in
the police court yesterday on the
charge of malicious mischief. The
boys are very hayward and are
thought to have committed many little
thefts about the city. Both the lads
are we'll known, the former being a
nephew Of Mrs. ". G. Brooks, who
was murdered two years ago by her
husband, while the father of johnson
resides in the city. County Attorney

result in them being sent to the re-
form school.

CAUSES A SCARE.
Smallpox Patient Runs Out of Food and
Comes to the City.

A number of people were given
quite a scare Wednesday by a man
named Messingill, who has the small
pox. Messingill, together with his
wife, is living in a shack down in the
vicinity of the Burlington round
house. His place was quarantined not
long ago for smallpox, both himself
and wife having contracted the dis
ease. The cases have been taken in
charge of the county, but it seems,
according to Messingills story, that
the attending physician had not been
neal them for several days to attend
to their needs. He ran out of provi-
sions and coal, and SO he took affairs
into his own hands and came to town
and ordered a supply. He did not
enter the store where he bought the
goods, but gave his orders through a
window, first warning the clerks not
to come near him as he had smallpox.
