he became irresponsible for his con-
duct and he committed more than al
ordinary breach of the peace. For
this he was arrested by Chief Jack
son on a state charge of disorder1y
behavior. Yesterday afternoon he
was %arraigned before Justice Fraser
and entered a plea of guilty. Settle
ment of a fine of $40 and costs Sc
cured his release.
In his post-election w%anderings
about the city Thomas Ryan ran afoul
of an unusually belligerent brand of
sheep dip and insisted upon a per-
konal encounter with every n whom
he met. He attempted to whip the
policeman that arrested him and after
his Incarceration had to be handcuff-
ed to prevent him from doing bodily
injury to his fellow prisoners. For
his combined %offenses he was fined
$40, this morning. In default he will
render the city five days service on
the streets.
Fred Ramsey of Kirby was in the
city a short time today en- route to
Forsyth. Mr.. Ramsey lives near the
extreme southern line of Rosebud and
in order to reach his county seat is
required to pass onto the Crow reser-
walton, where he takes the Burling-
ron RI {hic 1itu L1nrN ho oh or rnc nm
to the Northern Pacific and goes east.
Thus he travels yer a portion of an
Indian reserve and through two coun-
ties, necessitating a journey of sew
eral hundred miles to reach an Objec-
tive only about half that distance from
the initial point, as the crow flies.
ITwenty-eighth street, between Mon
tana and First avenue, north, is the
busiest spot in the city. Work is
progressing on no fewer than four
buildings there. While one crew Of
carpenters is putting the finishing
touches to the new city hall another
is engaged in framing timbers for the
Rowley & Moss block directly across
the street, the foundation for which
has been completed. Adjoining the
hall on the south masons are busy
with the foundation of the George
block, while still below these are men
at work on the basement that is con-
| structing under the Donovan-McCor-
mick company's building.
Bryan Hart, who is a rancher down
the valley, in total disregard of the
| reputation for sobriety and modera-
ton his class bears invariably gets
drunk and b%oisterous whenever he
visits the city. He has been arrest
ed repeatedly, only to be released
when sober and sent home. Yesterday
he came to town, with the usual re-
suits. This morning he was in po-
lice court and made an earnest and
eloquent plea for mercy, emphasiz-
ing it with an offer to make a bind
ing oath to abstain from the use of
intoXicants for all time. His spiel
failed, however, and to his amazement
he was fined $40. Not being able to
settle, he was turned over to the
| street commissioner for the next five
days.

.ANT|DOTE FOR
WEED POISON
RESULTS OF INVESTIGATIONS
BY PROFESSOR CHESTNUT.
DEATH CANVAS and LUPINE
Agricultural Department Expert
Makes Discoveries Valuable to
.... FIockmasters.

Unless the gentleman has been mis-
quoted and his discoveries have been
enlarged upon by those to whom he
has impaired their portent, it is very
probable that the stockmen of the
state, particularly the flockmasters,
will have good reason for feeling
grateful to Professor Chestnut of the
United States department of agri-
culture.
For TIE last two seasons the profess
scr, who is an expert on poison weeds,
HIS conducted Investigations and ex-
periments in Montana with a view to
ascertaining the effects upon animals
of the various poisonous weeds that
grow on the ranges and to discover
a%ntidotes that will prove effective in
cases of poisoning by weeds. He has
about concluded his research and ex-
Fermentation and intends to return
ito Washington next Saturday. ,
1t is claimed by his friends that he
has been successful beyond %expecta-
ton and that he has been enabled to
isolate the poison principle in both
the lupine and death canas plants,
which have been the cause of much
sickness and loss in stock through
out the state. While doing this it
is further alleged that he has found an
effective antidote for the poison Of
both weeds. If this should turn out
to be the case the discoveries made
by the professor will prove of in
c%alculable value to the men engaged
in almost every branch of the live
stock industry in the state.
Upon his return to Washington Pro-
fessor Chestnut will embody his dis
coveries in a report to the secretary
of agriculture and as soon as possible
the report will be published by the
government. It goes without saying
that there will be a large demand for
the publication throughout the entire
west as it will treat largely of rem
| edies. The volumes issued last sea-
son were in much request and the
continuation of the series next year
will undoubtedly be even more popu-
lar.
Professor Chestnut is quoted as say
ing that from the reports which have
come to him from Meagher county
and as the result of personal investi-
cations he is satisfied that during the
last go days no fewer than 1000 sheep
have been poisoned in that county
alone by eating lupine. OF this num-
Der about %one-fourth, or 500, have
died. These figures are startling in
their import and give a fair idea of
the dangers constantly besetting the
f~ocklnaster whose animals are per-
mitted to range over a large area in
search of feed.
This, according to the professor, is
the most dangerous season Of the
year, so far as concerns stock poison
ing by lupine. The animals eat the
seed pods. and his Investigations have
demonstrated that the poison princi-
pie is present in larger quantities in
the seeds than in the plant itself.

invited, as the function is for the
pleasure of all the citizens.
|ATThe young gentlemen who are IN
gagged in selling tickets for Satur-
days Billings-Livingston football
game report that they are meeting
with excellent success. Already a
large number have been sold and the
city has been only partially canvass
ed. AS this will probably be the only
game to be played here this season
the attendance will undoubtedly test
the capacity of the grand stand. II
9Th afternoon the fire department
was called by an alarm sen in by some
n who thought the city Jail was on
fire. The prisoners had placed a num-
Der of long sticks in the stove which
prevented them from closing the door.
The result was that the became
filled with smoke, some of which fore
ed itself out under the caves, causing
those on the outside to believe that
the interior of the structure was
burning.
Considering the liberality with
which the stuff that makes DRINKS
was dispensed during the last few
days and that nc session of the police
court was held yesterday, the number
of offenders who faced his honor this
morning was small. Messrs Clemens
and Aughey contributed $40, each,
for having disregarded the ordinance
regulating good morals and sobriety,
Jack L%annihan, a first offense man,
was let off upon payment Of SIS.
Thomas Sullivan, who was released
from the street gang only two or
three days ago., was sent back for
five days more. Frank Dilner had
INDUCED in a plain drunk, without
frills or concentrations of any kind.
His appeal for mercy so touched the
| court that he was discharged.
Walter Brown entertained a number
|0 his young friends at a card party
I at his home in North Twenty-lfth
street last night. Hearts was the
game of the evening. Miss Lord won
the ladies' prize, a sterling silver bon
bon spoon, she having won nine points
for the ten games played. Mr.. Deck
ert won the gentlemen's prize, a hand
some book, he receiving the same
number of points as Miss Lord. Sup
per was served, consisting of coffee,
sandwiches and cake and bon bons,
after which favorite school songs
were sung. Those present were
Misses Burton, Billiard, Spear, Rails
back, Whitney, Lord, Walters, Ross
and Mahan; Messrs. Segur, Rowley,
