ALIAS SUMMONS.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE
Seventh Judicial District of the State of
Montana, in and for the county of Yellow
stone.
Lura I. Kearns, plaintiff, vs.. John Az.
kearns. defendant.-ALiAS SUMMONS.
The State of Montana sends greeting to
the above named defendant.
You are hereby summoned to answer the
complaint in this action, which is filed in
the office of the clerk of the district court.
and to file your answer and serve a COPY
thereof upon the plaintiffs attorney within.

mons, exclusive of the day Of service; and in
case OF your failure tx appear or answer.
Judgment will be taken against syoufby de-.
fault. for the relief demanded in the COM
plant.
The said action is brought to have the
bonds OF matrimony now existing between
the plaintiff and defendant dissolved upon
the grounds of extreme cruelty. That is to
say that during the month of March, 1893.
the defendant kicked plaintiff and thereby
inflicted upon her great bodily injury, and
and that at various other times de-
PENDANT struck and slapped plaintiff, and
that on or about the first day of July, 1900,
at Columbus, Montana, the defendant used
vile and indecent language to the plaintiff
and threatened to take her life, he having
the ability SO to do.
Witness my hand and the seal of said
court this seventeenth day of December, 1900.

HORSE THIEVES BROUGHT BACK.
Deputy Sheriffs Return with Prisoners
from Wyoming.

yS6
Deputy Sheriffs j. 7. Salyes and
Newell Van Tassel returned to Bill
lngs last Friday afternoon having in
charge the thieves who stole the two
horses and saddles from Gilsdorf
Bros. a week ago, and whom the Off
GERS captured at Meeteetse, Wyo., last
Monday.
The trip after the thieves was a
hard one, but the persistence of the
officers was rewarded. The officers
started from Billings nearly a days
time behind the thieves and had to
combat with several difficulties be-
sides. A raging snowstorm Saturday
lnterferred greatly and one day the
trail was lost compelling, them to 20
about 20 miles further.
The officers arrived in Meeteetse
last Sunday night and on inquiring
the following morning were convinced
that they had beaten the thieves. At
about noon Monday Deputy Sheriff
Sayles was standing on the street
with his eyes fixed on the bridge
across the Greybull river, a short dis
lance away, when he espied the
thieves coming toward town. They
rode on into town and went to a
blacksmith shop, where they were ar
rested by Deputy Sayles. The men
offered no resistance and in view of
the fact that the horses were the ones
stolen could not deny they were the
thieves.
The return trip to Billings was
Tuesday morning and very
good time was made. At Pryor gap
a snow, Of about Is inches was en-
countered, delaying progress some,
but Billings was reached at about 2
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, when the
thieves were landed in the county
Jail. Their names are Mart .Thomp-
son and Jim Clifford. Thompson had
been working for Gilsdorf Bros. up to
the time of the robbery. He came
here a few months ago from Fergus
ami the sheriff believes he is
the same person wanted there = b.
Sheriff Shaw for the theft of a horse
from u Mr.. Lewis. Thompson is we'll
around here, being one of the
Of the Fagin estate, and tho
he bears is not one of the
best.

that the Meyer and Gregory election
contest will go to the legislature d.
rect.
A little evidence in the contest
was submitted before the two justices
of the peace, appointed as commits

the defendants on rebuttal. And
here the contest rests until it comes

greet the new governor and other
officers and then take part in the
dance to follow. Five thousand in
vitations will be issued, and the COM
mittee on invitation will send one to

held at the Auditorium, in Helena,
and, preparations are already under
way to make it a success in every par

A BASE BALL
Will Be Held in Billings January 10 to
form a League.

From time to time for the past sew
eral weeks The Gazette has chronicled
the fact that a movement was on
foot looking to the organization Of ali
Eastern Montana Baseball league. M.
S. Gillette of this city, who was man
ager of last seasons club, is the
originator of the movement and to
him the credit is due for paving the
way for a league as he has been per-
sistent in his efforts.
Affairs havo so shaped themselves
that the league is almost assured, and
a meeting Of the representatives from
the following towns, which are to
comprise the league, will be held in
Billings on the evening of January
10, 1901, for the purpose of organic
ing themselves into an Eastern Mon
tana Amateur Baseball league: Boze-
man, Livingston, Red Lodge, Miles
City, Sheridan and Billings. Officers
will be elected and such other bust
ness transacted as may come before
the meeting. At this meeting a
schedule of games will be decided
upon for the coming season, commence
ing about May 1 or 10, next.
Letters received from the outside
towns convey the information that the
matter is being favorably commented
spon quite generally and there seems
no doubt but what Billings will do
it's full share towards the support of
a 6rstclass amateur club, and there is
no reason why this city should not
have the fastest team in the league.
Billings has always given hearty sup
port toward baseball and it will keep
up its reputation. Only one game will
be played in each town every two
weeks, except when other arrange
ments are made.

Mrs. Roy G. Butler Answers to Divorce
Suit in Salt Lake.

Mrs. Roy G. Butler Answers to Divorce
Suit in Salt Lake.
Regarding the Butler divorce suit,
particulars of which were published
in The Gazette some few weeks ago,
a Butte dispatch goes to show that
the case will be fought by Mrs. But
Ter, who has filed in the courts of
Salt Lake her answer to the divorce
complaint filed by her husband. Both
are we'll known in several towns of
the state and the husbands action
was a surprise to the many Montana
friends of the two, as they were ap-
parently devoted to each other and
living happily
Buffers principal charge against
his wife was that she had forgotten
her marriage VOWS and was receiving
questionable attention from other
men.
Mrs. Butter, in the first instance,
denies that her husband is a resident
of Salt Lake county.
In regard the main allegation of
the complaint that Mrs. Butler COM
mitted adultery at 253 South West
Temple street and Is East Second
street, Salt Lake City, with parties
unknown to the plaintiff, and that she
associated with dissolute characters,
both male and female, Mrs. Butler
enters ar emphatic denial, and ayers
that she did not commit adultery at
the places specified or at any other
times or places, or at all, and that she
did not associate with lewd or disso-
lutte characters and she prays that
her husbands complaint be dismissed.
On the application Of Mrs. Butler,
her husband has been ordered to pay
$50 temporary alimony, suit money
and attorneys fees.

OVER The STATE

More than 400 Montana teachers
attended the state teachers association
in Butte this week.
Thos. D. Long of Kalispell has
been appointed assistant to Attorney
G~eneral-elect James Donovan.
John Drinkcorn, a prominent ranch
man Of Carbon county, died Tuesday
as a result Of injuries received in q
runaway the day previous.
Eight Of the twelve members of the
Silver Bow delegation in the Seventh
legislative assembly met in caucus
and decided upon John MacGinniss of

Attorney General Nolan has given
an opinion to the effect that a juror
is entitled to his fees, even though he
does not serve. II summoned he can
collect from the county, sven though
no service is performed by him.
All but one of the county attorneys
of the state have filed their annual
reports covering two years, 1899 and
1900, with the attorney general. For
the most part the reports consist of
tabular statements showing the num-
Der of prosecutions and convictions,
but in several instances recommended
tions are made for needed legislation
and proposed changes in the penal
code. The county attorney of Vel
lowstone county suggests that wit
nesses in criminal cases in justice
courts and witnesses at coroners' in-
quests be paid witness fees and mile
age.
The state board of pardons seeks to
remedy an existing evil which has be-
come quite apparent tt the board in
the system of criminal prosecutions in
cases where the defendant is unable to
pay the cost of his defense, or employ
the services of a counsel. Many of the
applications for executive clemency
that have come to the attention of the
governor have been in cases where
the criminal was a poor man and un
able to pay the cost of his defense.
Under the law the court is allowed
to appoint an attorney and the fee pro-
vided by law is SO small that it is sell
dom possible to secure the services of
a competent attorney. The board asks
that a law be enacted which will pro-
vide for the payment Of q larger fee,
that all prisoners unable to cay for
their defense may have a fair trial.

COMPLAINT AGAINST Cabling.
c. D. Wilson Causes Warrant Il Be Issued
for Arrest of Three Mn.

Q. D. Wilson appeared before Coun
ty Attorney Johnston lale Friday
afternoon and swore out a lcomplaint
against John Maurer and Rster Door.
proprietors Of the Montana saloon.
and J. j. Potts, charging Them with
permitting gambling gamet to be run
in their establishment and with gam
bling.
Wilson says he works ii the Vel
lowstone National park during the
hummer time and has gatlbled con-
siderable in his life time and would
not now make a complains were it
not for the fact that the game was
played in a most unfair manner by
his opponents. He does not mind
loosing money in a game conducted
along the line of fairness, but when
the other fellow cheats then his blood
begins to boil. Although he lost only
$s5 Mr.. Wilson thinks the guilty fell
lows should be punished.
There has been more OF less COM
plant of late regarding gambling.
which it seems has been resumed in
Billings with renewed activity, despite
the fact that the same was stopped
some three months ago on the order
OF the county commissioners. It has
been known to many that gambling is
being carried on with a high hand
and all the games are of the fleeing
order, but no n has come forward
make complaint except Mr.. Wilson.
He td9 says that shortly after he lost his
money, a policeman entered the sa-
loon, and although money was chang
ing hands then, the officer failed to
any arrest or even stop the gam
bling.
The warrants for the arrest of
Aauer, Door and Potts have been
issued from Justice Kelly's court.

JAY COOKE SERIOUSLY I'LL.
Unconscious for Several Hours at His
 Summer Home Near Sandusizy, O.

Sandusky. O.. Oct. Clay Cooke, the noted war financier and banker. is critically i'll at his summer cottage at Gibraltar Island. MT. Cooke arrived :lt tine island recently and his illness came as a surprise to his friends and reIa- tives. On Saturday evening he retired at his usual hour, leaving word with his servants to call him at 6 o'clock on Sunday morning. When a servant vert c call him he could get no answer. Be coming alarmed he summoned other servants and they entered NIT. Cookes room He was in bed and unconscious.
 Relatives and friends who comprised the party at the island were summoned but all efforts to revive Mir Cooke proved futile. A steamer was sent 70 the city for his physician, Dr. Gillari, and he arrived at the sick mans bed side shortly after the noon hour. After working with him for some time MT. Cooke was restored to consciousness For a long time he was unable to talk, but later in the afternoon he regainei the power of speech.
 Dr. Gillard said that while Mir. Cooke's illness was serious he would recover unless relapse occurred. His sickness was diagnosed as congestion of the brain.
