of this city, for which 200 invitations
were issued. The lodge of Elks are not
ed for their hospitality and novelty of
entertaining, and the event of Friday
night more fully bears out the state
ment that the Elks cannot be excelled in
that particular. They bear that happy
friends in a graceful manner where eX-
pense and pains are not spared to make
if a success. The house was beautifully
and very artistically decorated, the COLI
ors of the order, purple and white, pre-
dominating. On the east and west walls
of the room were the following inscrip-
tons: "B. p. o. E., Billings Lodge. No.
294," and IL" worked in purple and
white letters upon purple and white
backgrounds. while streamers of the

On last Thursday the skeleton of a
man was found in coulee about 10 miles
east of Billings. Coroner Chapple went
out Saturday and brought the bones to
Billings and they We're Inferred in the
city cemetery yesterday. The skeleton
was almost complete. some Of the bones
of one hand. one foot and a portion of
the backbone having disappeared. The
discovery was made by Albert Webster,
sheepherder for w. II. Clanton. the
bones being found near a cedar tree.
Near the skeleton was pair of chaps
on which was cut the name ID. lilly.
Lawrence, Massachusetts Small pieces
of clothing and buttons were also found
nearby, and there were imprints in the
ground of what is supposed to have been
blankets on which the dead man had
lain. Marks On the tree indicated that it
had been struck by lightning and this
is thought to have been the manner in
which the man met his death. No one
in Billings seems to have known any
such person as D. Tilly. The bones were

and had possibly been there about ten
years.

PRICE OF LARD GOES WAY UP.
Pork Has Advanced and Prices Are
Higher Than In Ten Years.

According to local packers the price of
lard in Atlanta is higher than It has been
for ten years Hams and side meats are
also way up. although at present they are
said to have a downward tendency and
there is nothing alarming about the mar
ket.
Lard today Is quoted at 10A cents.

II is cents. Although steadily but slowly
declining In price the packers say that
even now IL is very high.
The choicest sides are worth today l0%
cents. where in August they were selling
at Ia cents. Beef and mutton are said
TO be fairly cheap for the season and viii
not probably advance for some time to
come
The high prices prevailing in pork and
lard are said to be due TO the fact that
during the summer many portions of the
west underwent severe drouths and thou
sands of hogs were marketed when not
full grown. This created a scarcity in
hogs available for sides and that scarcity
resulted in high prices.
Within few weeks farmers all over the
country viii begin marketing their hogs
and this will tend to reduce western
prices in order to meet competition. The
packers say that there is nothing very
abnormal about the conditions and that
high prices are only temporary.
