= Pacific Affairs. {,

H. j. Horn Of Livingston, superin-
tendent of the Montana division of the
Northern Pacific railroad, donned his
rainy day garments and came to Bill
ings Tuesday to see how affairs were
being carried on in this metropolis.
AS usual he found everything progress
sing nicely.
Mr.. Horne was asked if his road in
tended doing anything for Billings
this year, to which he replied that SO
far as he knew there would be no inn
provements made here, as the company
did pretty we'll by the city last year.
Regarding the probabilities of estab-
fishing a regular passenger train on
the. Rocky Fork branch he said he did
not look for anything to be done III
the matter this year. When asked
what improvements were to be made
at Livingston this year he said that he
did not know, except what he had
read in the newspapers. which seem to
always know everything first.

INDIANS
They Confess to Having Killed a Cow
Belonging to Thos McGirl.

Little Daylight and Austin Stray
Calf, two Crow Indians, We're ar
raigned III Justice Fraser's court We'd
uesday afternoon on the charge OF
grand larceny. The charge against
the Indians was preferred by Thos.
McGirl, who claims that they killed a
COW belonging to him. A son of
Little Daylight was also arrested, but
no complaint was filed against him
owing to his age, he being a minor,
and also in order to allow Agent Ed
wards to take the lad back to the
school at Grow Agency from which he
was taken by his father.
The boy acted as interpreter for the
court in making plain to the Indians
the crime Of which they were accused.
Little Daylight confessed to having
killed the COW and Austin Stray Calf
confessed to having helped carry away
the meat, but despite this the Indians
took the time allowed by law in which
to plead and they will accordingly be
brought up this afternoon again.
After confessing to the crime Little
Daylight gave as his reason for kill
ing the COW that his little SON was
sick and crying for meat. He stated
that he had a COW and calf which he
would give to MI. McGirl in the hopes
of being discharged, having made the
same promise to Mr.. McGirl the day
he was arrested. It is alleged that he
has been notorious in getting away
with cattle belonging to the stock men
who range on the reservation.

STATE WILL SUPPLY THEM.
Eighth Grade Diplomas to Be Issued
Free.

Diplomas will be furnished the
pupils who passed the eighth grade
examinations held throughout the
state last week by State S%uperinten-
dent of Public Instruction w. W.
WEIGH at the expense Of the state. It
is estimated by him, says the Helena
Record, that a saving of at least
ST., 900 to the people will be the result.
Heretofore the expense has been borne
by the individuals to whom the di-
plomas were issued and the cost was
necessarily far in excess of the amount
that follows under the plan of the su-
perintendent, for by making pur-
chases in quantity an exceedingly low
rate may be obtained.
Another feature of the plan adopted
is that the printing of the diplomas,
that has in the past gone out of the
state, principally to a Nebraska firm,
will henceforth be given to Montana
printers and the expense will be
charged..to the state printing fund.
Before Superintendent WEIGH in
augurated this new departure from the
custom heretofore prevailing, he laid
the matter before the state furnishing
board and strongly advocated its adop-
ton. The state furnishing board raw
the wisdom of the, plan and agreed
with Mr.. WEIGH that it was a step in
the right direction.
IN the past the parents of graduated
scholars were obliged to buy diplomas
on their own account. The cost for
single diplomas ranged from $3.50 to
S., and i'll many Of the counties of the
state, where 20 Or 80 pupils pass the
examinations that are held three
times a year, the cost to individuals
was considerable. The state superin-
tendent, however, by taking 1000
blank diplomas, gets them at the rate
of ! cent each. They have been
ordered and will be mailed free of
charge to the pupils who have passed
the examination. Ms
County Superintendent Marquette
M. Strang is at present grading the
papers of the students of Yellowstone
county schools that took this examina-
ton last week and expects to he able
to announce the names of the success
full ones in a few days.

ARRESTED FOR BURGLARY.
c. E. Potts Alleged to Have Stolen a
Revolver and Other Articles.

G. E. Potts was arrested yesterday
afternoon and arraigned before Justice
Mann on the charge of burglary in the
second degree. The complaint was
sworn to by an express messenger on
the Northern Pacific railroad, who
alleges that Potts entered his room in
this city a few days ago., stealing a re-
volver and several other articles.
Potts pleaded not guilty and his trial
was set for today at 10 O'Clock a. IN.
In default of bail Potts went to Jail.

and described the changes said to have
been made. He thought the changes
had been made from four to nine
months previously.
Lincoln G. Hannah testified as to
Garvin's basin and described how it
was enclosed by natural walls from
100 to $500 feet high, and was mac
cessible at most points. Defendant
last Christmas had forbidden him to
ride in the basin on pain Of death.
The defendant told witness that he
had bought Garvin's cattle and would
buy his ranch when he proved up. He
was since down in the basin and
helped to count the cattle which we're
driven from the basin. He said he
could see there were fresh brands on
the cattle.
Mr.. Smith sought to discredit the
force of this witness testimony by
asking him If he had not been arrested
for stealing {, 500 pounds Of Garvin's
ranch supplies, to which the witness
replied that he had, but that the
county attorney had told him he could
go home, and the case had never been
prosecuted.
Mr.. English then rested the case for
the prosecution. After a short consul
tation John T. Smith, of counsel for
defense, moved to dismiss the case on
the ground of the insuficiency of the
testimony. This was argued at some
length by MI. Smith for the defense,
when the several counsel for the prose-
cution replied.
MIR. Goddard closed the argument,
when the commissioner gave his de-
%cision, o%verruling the motion.
The defendants. counsel announced
that they would introduce no testi-
mony. "
Judge English then moved that the
defendant be bound over to the next
term Of the United States district
court at Helena and suggested that the
bail be fixed at s., 600, "as several
cases are likely to arise out of this
CASE" Mr. Smith protested against
the amount as excessive, and the court
fixed the bail at 81, 900.
The maximum penalty for the crime
for which the defendant is held is one
years imprisonment and 81, 900 fine.

MORE CATTLE THIEVES.
Two Deputy Marshals Looking for Rust
lers on Pacific Coast.

LUH- E ASAe "a = = SV00S nH
Ever since the arrest of Robt. e.
Lee ON the charge of stealing 500
head of Grow Indian cattle there has
been a report in various state papers to
the effect that there was an organized
band Of cattle rustlers operating in
this section of the state, but no one
h%ereabouts seems to know anything
about whom the thieves might be-.
The latest report comes from the coast
in the following:
It is believed that two Of the men
accused Of stealing cattle by wholesale
from the Grow Indian reservation have
made their way to the Pacific coast,
and the chase has been turned in that
direction, according to the Tacoma
Ledger, which says:
During the past week two deputy
United States marshals have been in
Tacoma and at other points on Puget
sound, looking for two members Of one
of the most daring gangs Of cattle
rustlers that has ever infested the
west. The men are of a desperate
character and while there are five of
them in all, it is the opinion Of the
officers that only the two leaders are
in this vicinity. 1t is known that they
were here two weeks ago and regis
tered at one of the hotels. The follow
ing day they left and the idea of the
officers is that they are in hiding
somewhere in this part of the country
waiting n chance to get off on the first
boats to Alaska.
"Their trail led to the west and
they were traced to this city. If it is
their intention to get to Alaska they
will have a hard time Of it, for officers
have been detailed to watch every
craft that leaves for the north, from
the Sound, Portland, San Francisco
and British Columbia

FINED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
Frank Savaresy Adds to City Exchequer
for Dlsobeying Ordinance.

The case of Frank Savaresy, charged
with conducting a variety theatre or
house wherein women are engaged as
walters soliciting orders for drinks,
came up in the police court Wednesday
morning after two continuances, re-
sulting in the defendant being fined
500.
Savaresy was represented by John
T. Smith of Livingston, while the case
was prosecuted by City Attorney Her
ford, assisted by County Attorney
Hathhorn. The defendants attorney,
who, by the way, is mayor Of the town
of Livingston, attacked the ordinances
of Billings, saying that the particular
ordinance under which the city's at
torneys were prosecuting the defendant
was not worth the paper it was print
ed on. MI. Smith attempted to make
it appear that the city had no case,
even after his client had testified that
drinks were sold at his theatre and
orders taken by women.
In closing the case the defendants
attorney argued in favor of having the
case dismissed, claiming that the city
had not proved it's case. The motion
was fought by the city's attorneys,
after which the court took the matter
under advisement until 80 O'Clock in
the afternoon.
On re%convening, the court overruled
the motion for a dismissal. The city
attorney then appealed to the court to
fine the defendant the limit as fixed
by the ordinance, which is $500. Mr.
Smith argued against this, after which
the court fixed the fine at 800, the
minimum. After c~onfering with his
client, Mr.. Smith gave oral notice of
an appeal, but the matter went no
further, Savaresy paying his fine a
couple Of hours later.

"RAPIER RING"
The Coming Game for Girls.

This game can be played by boys as
well as girls, but the boys are almost
football crazy at this time of year, and
can hardly be persuaded to play any
thing else. Still, this game is a game
OF skill and not one of strength, and If
the boys can be induced to try it, and
they will find that the girls can play
it quite as well, is not better, than
their brothers.
The game is intended to give the
girls all the fun of a game of hockey
without its rough features, and those
who have played Il say that IL is even
more exciting than basket ball AMI not
nearly so rough. The game is played
by eighteen girls. nine on a side, and
is equally well adapted to out-of doors
or a gymnasium.
