works were in operation and the bust
ness hadn't seemed to lessen any since
the shutdown. The cashier was Mr..
Gray's daughter.
While Harry was talking to Miss
Gray through the opening in the glass
partition behind which was her special
domain there was a commotion among
the men at the other end of the room.
Supt Brown had come in with others
and appeared to have some interesting
informa ton. Harry was called, much
to his disgust, and Joined the group.
Mr. Gray had received letter from
the president of the Broadway Bridge
Company. Among other things, he had
written:
Il have bought the old Vulcan Mills
from the litigants and propose to start
them as soon as they can be put in
shape. I am sure you will do me the
favor Mr.. Gray, to accept the presl-
dency Of the new company. know that
the best workmen will flock to your
standard I am done with the Rocky
bottom works"
Mr.. White will certainly sue him for
breach of contract" interposed Supt.
Brown.
wait a minute, Brown" said Mr..
| Gray, looking over his spectacles, land
maybe you'll change your opinion. ;"
And he continued to read:
"I have notified White that his vio-
lation of the contract released us. 1
discovered that he had forced the strike
on the men, and am advised that he
had no more right to make an unrea-
sonable cut in wages and claim eXemp-
ton from the obligations of the con-
tract on account of the consequent
strike than he would have to chuck
a steel rail into his fly-wheel and claim
exemption on account of an accident to
his machinery"
what do you say to that, Brown
Nothing. I'm not lawyer.
Now, Harry, here's something that'n
interest YOU" continued the old gen.
tleman. turning to his letters.
Tell young Brown that he can have
! the superintendency of the Vulcan, sub
ject to your approval, of course. l have
kept an eye on him when he didn't
know it and have observed that he is
popular among workmen anod can get
more out of them with less grumbling
| on their part than any man l ever
knew"
Some of the men crowded around
their young favorite, and before he was
! aware of their intentions they had
! hoisted them to their shoulders and
were carrying him with noisy good ma
ture toward the cashiers apartment.
Inc young Iduy was SOOl lulOI
| of the news and blushed prettily. but
could not be induced to come out of
! her office and congratulate the young
man. She knew that she would have
an opportunity to tender her congratu-
lations later.
Mr.. Gray and Harry Brown had no
trouble in securing first class work
men. The Rockybottom men were the
first to offer their services. AS John
Mason phrased it: I'VE know our
friends and purpose to stand by them,
from Mr.. Gray and Harry Brown down
no, uo to Miss Pearl. "
Harry thought so, too, and was con-
WINGED beyond any doubt, when, a
month later, he learned that a day
pay of every man in the mills had been
quietly contributed toward the pur-
chase of a magnificent service of sill
yer as a wedding present for himself
! and Miss Gray.

calves are making a voyage from Cal

first stage of the journey was com
pieted to-day when they arrived in
New York aboard the steamer Hilltara
of Liverpool, Capt. John Pallem.
Eighty days were consumed in max
ing the voyage. and all during that
time the two faithful attendants new
er once left their charges. On the ar
rival of the Hilltars in New York the
sacred part of the cargo, with their
ghostly attendants, were transferred
to the steamship Maraval, of the Bar
Der Asphalt Company, which sailed for
Trinidad at once. The animals belong
to the British government. which is
importing them to Trinidad for the
purpose of improving the stock of cat
tie OF that island.
The cattle are full-blooded and in
clined to be vicious. The bull occupies
a narrow padded berth. while the cows
and calves are encased in suits of
heavy bagging, stuffed with straw, to
prevent bruising when toss& about

The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1902-07-18

About 6 o'clock last evening Frank
Cox, a bartender employed at Bob
Conway's saloon on Minnesota avenue
came near meeting his death at the
hands of a negro named Jackson.
The negro is employed around the
saloon as a porter and the bartender
took occasion to reprove him for some
work that he had neglected to do.
The negro secured a revolver and
stealing up to Cox dealt him a ter
rife blow over the top OF the head
with the weapon and then pointing it
directly at Cox's body attempted re-
peatedly to- pull the trigger. The qua
was a self-cocking weapon n the
mechanism refused to work otherwise
Mr.. Cox would now be in a region
where high balls and gin fizzes are I'M
known, for every chamber OF the gun
was loaded. :.
The police were called n Ch;et
Jackson arrived a few minutes later
and placed the negro under arrest.
The officer found the pistol on the ne
gro's person, as he was still loatn TO
give up the fight, and he was placed in
the county Jail and will likely be ar
raigned late this afternoon on a
charge of assault in the first degree.
The negro is quite we'll known in
Billings, and is noticeable from the
fact that he has a wooden leg. He has
been operating a bootblack's stand IN
front of oCnway's in addition to do
ing porter work. He is generally re-
garded as a "bad Niger"
Later-Jackson was arraigned be
fore Justice Fraser and his prellm-
mary set for Saturday afternoon.
