pay 4 state license of $1,000 before the

NEW PLOT AGAINST FRANCE.

Tries to Win the Army.
Paris, Aug 1S.-Gen Andre, the min
lister of War, made a sensation in a
speech at Auxonne today by declaring
that the commanders of the various
army corps had received letters from
one of the Pretenders designed to
seduce them from their duty, but the
fact that the letters had been sent on to
him proved the army to be loyal to
the Republic.
Gen Andre did not say whether the
Pretender in question is Bourbon or
Bonapartist.

NEW CATTLE MEN.
Ten Thousand Head of Cattle to Be
Brought to Montana.

r. A. Morris of Portales, Tex, and
W. R. Curtis of Memphis, Tex, have
been spending a few days in this sec
ton looking up a desirable range
upon which they wish to place a large
number of Texas cattle. The gentle
men have. something like 10, 900 head
which they wish to bring to Montana,
as they consider the range in this part
better and a better chance for raising
cattle. They visited the Musselshell
country and it is said have completed
arrangements with the Ryan Bros.
Cattle company for the ranging of
the stock on the latter's RI range.
The cattle will begin to arrive in Bill
ings during the next few weeks. The
gentlemen left yesterday for their
homes, accompanied by E. B. Ryan of
Leavenworth, Kan, who had been out
on the Musselshell.

The discovery was made by a man
who was working there. Monday
evening when the nan left his work
the goods were not on the land, but
on resuming work the next moring he
found them. He came to town at
once and notified the authorities.
AS the land is outside the city lin
it's the chief Of police notified Deputy
Sheriff Sayles and the two officers Sc
cured a carriage and drove out to in
v~estigate. There, dumped on the fiat,
they found several shirts, a coat, pair
of pantaloons, pair of shoes, several
pairs of cuffs, a trunk, carpenters
tools, thermometer and a wash boiler.
On a portion of the clothing was the
name of H. W. Wood, who works for
B. W. Toole.
Inquiry of Mr. Wood reveals the
fact that about three weeks ago he had
some of his clothing disappear, and he
was able to identify the articles found.
At the same time these goods disap-
peared he was also the loser of two
suits of linen clothing, besides a feath-
er bed, but these latter articles have
not as yet been found.
The officers have no clue upon which
to work, but they are keeping their
eyes open.

BIG T1MBER's WOODEN MILL
Will Be in Operation in About Two
Month.

The town of Big Timber will be
ready to manufacture wooden goods
this M VIM. Whitfield, w:1o is
behind the wooden mill project in that
place, is spending a few days in Bill
ings getting acquainted with the
woolgrowers of this section. He says
the building is nearing completion and
the machinery is already on the way
from the east. It is thought that the
mill will be ready to begin operations
inside of two months. The mill will
have a capacity of 500 pounds of wool
per day, which will be made up into
blankets, dress goods and s%hirJings for
the present, it being the intention of
the management to build up a local
trade before undertaking to supply
markets outside the state.
Mr.. Whitfield is greatly impressed
with the outlook and believes that
there is room for just such an enter
prise in Montana, which is the great
est wool growing state in the United
States. He says the plant will be so
constructed that it can be enlarged
whenever the demand justifies it,
which he thinks is sure to occur before
the mill has been in operation very
long.
MI. Whitfield has had 40 years .ex-
perience in this line of business, hav-
ing formerly been located in the north
ern part Of Illinois for many years.

Jury ORDERS HIM DISCHARGED
FROM CUSTODY.
ON JUDGES INSTRUCTIONS
Arrest Not Made In Accordance
With Requirements
of Law.

In district court "Wednesday Judge
Loud rendered a decision that is
bound to have a far-reaching effect.
1t was to the effect that a man com
uniting a misdemeanor in the night
time cannot be arrested until a a
rant has first been secured for the
same, The decision was given in the
case of the state VS.. John Shay, resist
ing an officer. This was the only
matter that the court took up during
the day.
A jury composed Of b. Succetti, Fl.
Barr, M. m. Brown, A. Depping, J. G.
Haldane, John Stewart, H. Yates,
H. L. Trewin, w. A. Enochs, Joseph
Danford, T. +. Holly and James E.
Dickie was chosen to hear the case.
After hearing the evidence and when
the attorneys on both sides had com
pleted their arguments Judge Loud
submitted the following instructions
to the jury:
"The jury are instructed that upon
the trial of a criminal case if, after
the evidence for the state has been in
troduced, it appears. to the court that
the evidence produced is insufficient
to warrant a verdict of guilty, it be-
comes the duty OF the court to advise
the Jury to return a verdict of not
guilty. The jury, however, are not
obliged to follow the advice given by
the court in this matter.
1.-The court instructs you that in
this case the evidence produced on be-
half of the prosecution is insufficient
to warrant the jury in finding a YER
dict of guilty herein. The INSULT
cheney consists in this; that the evil
dence shows that the arrest was made
by the police officer between the hours
of 8 and 10 p. m. Of the eighth day
of March, 1901. The term night
time. as defined by u statute, in
cludes that period Of time between
sunset of one day and sunrise of the
next ensuing day. Under our law all
arrest cannot be made by a peace Off
Ger or any other officer for a misde-
meanor during the night time unless a
warrant for the persons arrest is is
sued by a magistrate and with his en-
dorsement thereon authorizing the
officer to make the arrest in the night
time.
SIN this case the evidence shows
that no warrant was issued by a mag
istrate and that the arrest was made
by the police officer in the night time
without a warrant. Such an arrest
would be an illegal arrest and the de-
PENDANT would be authorized in resist
ing the same.
"On account Of the insufficiency of
the evidence, as hereinbefore men
toned, the court now advises you to
return a verdict Of not guilty. You
may either retire to your jury room
and select one of your number as fore
man, who must sign the verdict, or
you may remain in your seats and
select a foreman, who will, thereupon,
sign a verdict for the defendant"
Acting upon the above instructions
the jury remained in their seats and
returned the following verdict: 1--WE,
the jury in the above entitled cause dc
find the defendant, John Shay, not
guilty"

State Veterinarian Visits Billings-Milk
and Meat Inspection Law.

n Meat Inspection Law.
M. E. Knowles of Helena, state
veterinarian, was in the city yesterday
on matters pertaining to his Office.
He heard that there was a cas Of
CHAMBERS among some horses III this
immediate neighborhood and came
down to investigate, but found that
the report was a false one.
DR.. Knowles says that the general
condition Of stock throughout the
state is splendid, owing mainly to the
mild winter.
Speaking of the milk and meat in
spectiou law passed by the recent leg
~islature he says that it makes the in
spection mandatory in cities with a
population of 5000 or more, and OPP
tional with all other municipalities.
He thinks the law is a spendid one
and will be the mean of preventing
considerable sickness which comes
from the use of impure milk and meat.
The law is known to but few of the
people of the state, but it is one, he
says, that should be in effect in every
municipality, and he thinks will prob
ably be SO in the majority of them be-
fore long. as many all over the state
are beginning to take up the matter
and call upon the city councils to ap.
point inspectors.
