OLD NEW YORK TRICKS.
Arizona Stage-HOw He Lost and
Regained His Seat.

There is at least one old-fashioned
stage line in Arizona, memorial of
frontier days, says a writer in the
New York Press. 81 made trip out
there the other day." says one Of our
fellow citizens who is interested in
great numbering operations in the
Flagstaff territory, "and found the
ride on the coach a rare treat. On
the front seat there was room for
three. The driver sat on the right,
1 on the left, and a stranger in be-
tween. The latter began to look un.
easy after we had gone about Is miles,
and finally whispered to me: 1 am
afraid ! am about to be sick, sir;
would you exchange places with me for
momentY 1 could not make the ex-
change too quickly.
"The seat in the middle was tight
squeeze, but 1 patiently submitted.
Five minutes passed, ten, twenty, for
ty, an hour. Not a sign from my
friend. He seemed to be enjoying the
scenery. / said at last: Understood
you to say that you felt sick
Yes, quite true; I had decided
feeling of nausea. But the air out here
appears to agree with me, and the feel
ing has passed off,
"'Then you will give me back my
seat
"'Oh, not at all. This is an old trick
I learned in New York; get anything
you can in any way you can, and hold
on to it,
81 gave him a sudden push that
keeled him over by the roadside, re-
marking, as 1 put my hand on my pis-
toll: That's an old trick I learned
in New York in the free school for
hogs
HE got up, brushed the dust off, and
entered the coach in silence"

several cases of smallpox in Lind Hollow,
two miles northeast of Witten's Mills.
This morning DR.. j. r. Gildersleeve, Pres.
ident of the Board of Health, went to that
point to ascertain the facts. We are in
formed that he found there were eight

been taken to guard and quarantine all
who have the disease or have been ex'
posed to it.

with the progress made, and will return
after the holidays to complete their cours-
es, with many of their friends, which will
swell the attendance to the utmost cap
acity of the school. The phenomenal
success of the institution is due to the
courses of instruction in all de-

ing good positions for the graduates, and
as a result not combined graduate or

There is still time to COM
plete course this session, and as the de-

without actual residence on the land.
Under these representations they
brought many such widows into a
number of the states west Of the Mis-
souri, river who selected their loca-
lions and made their filings in the
local land offices. They would then
return to their homes in the east and
at the expiration of IA months appear
at the land Office in the district in
which claims had been located and
offer proof of their rights to the land.
The trip to the west was a sort Of a
picnic to the old ladies whose hus-
bands had served their country in
time of war. All expenses were paid
by the land agents, and besides upon
completing their final proof they were
to be given several hundred dollars
each for their trouble, conditioned
that they would turn over their
claims to the men who were instru-
mental in giving them a trip to the
west and the money.
While it is not known that this ex-
cursion scheme has been worked in
this particular part Of Montana, it is
known that the Big Horn basin in
| Wyoming has experienced during the
past few months a visit from a whole
passenger car full of this class OF
homeseekers. The recent order OF
the secretary will have a tendency to
check the fraud.

A MUSS IN HAWAII.
Gov. Dole Asks Territorial Senate to
Fire Crooked Officials.


Honolulu, via San Francisco, Nov.
24.-The territorial senate met in ex-
ira session on the goth to consider the
removal and appointment of public
officials as a result of the recent ex-
of entertainments. -Four mes
sages we're received from Governor
Dole, two dealing with the general
situation and the others relating to
departments of the auditor and SUI
p~erintendent of public works, and
calling for the removal OF Auditor
Austin and Superintendent BOYD.
Governor Dole, in a general message,
suggested a senatorial investigation
of all departments of the government
and the senate has appointed commit
tees to carry out the suggestion.
The senate has received a commun-
ication from Auditor Austin declaring
that he was unlawfully suspended by
the governor, the latter having nc
legal right to suspend him. On the
| same day Judge Gear, of the First
| Circuit court decided that h power
of suspension was not possessed by
the governor, and granting a pre-
emptory writ of mandamus directing
the attorney general and high sheriff
to allow Auditor Austin to resume
charge of his Office. Armed with this
writ, Austin and his attorneys MAD

New Learned Concerning
Bridger Bank Robbers.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
No definite tidings up to the hour
of 3 this afternoon had been received
here concerning the probability of the
capture of the three highwaymen who
robbed the bank at Bridger on Mon
day last.
When Sheriff Potter of Carbon
county and his posse left Absarokee
early yesterday morning he enter
tanned hopes that he would be able to
overtake the thieves within "a hours,
but as no report has been received
from the. outlying country which can
be reached by telephone it is sur
missed that the officers have not at this
time been successful.
The report made public in the city
last evening that the robbers had
been seen in the neighborhood. OF
Reeds Point, on the line of the North
ern Pacific was an error, as no men
answering the description OF then
had been noticed in that locality.
All last night the bridge spanning
the Yellowstone at Big Timber was
guarded by armed men, the officers
there thinking that, perhaps, the flee
ing thieves would make an attempt
to cross to the north side of the riv
er at that point.
This morning Sheriff Falling OF
Sweet Grass county organized a posse
and went into the mountains on the
West Boulder river in the hope that he
might intercept the much wanted

PROCLAMATION HAS BEEN is
SUED BY GOVERNOR.
DECEMBER 20 DATE FIXED
Voters of Yellowstone County Are
Given Another Opportunity to
Elect a Representative.
4 Thursdays Daily Gazette.

Z From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
The canvass of the state election
returns by counties has been COM
pleted and it being discovered that
there was a tie vote between S. F.
Morse and G. G. Bever for representa-
tive in Yellowstone county, Governor
Toole under the law has issued a
proclamation calling for a special
election in the county to be held on
Saturday, December 20.
The governor sets forth the rea-
son for the issuance of the proclama-
ton and writ of election and directs
the board of county commissioners
to make the necessary arrangements
provided by the statute for holding
the special election.
From present indications the demo-
Gratis will again nominate S. F. Morse
for the position. AS to the republi-
can side the party has as yet made
no definite plans for a candidate. MI.
Bever would be willing to again en-
ter the race, providing his candidacy
would be entirely satisfactory to all
the republicans in the county.
In order to get an expression Of the
republican voters in the county as to
the candidacy of Mr.. Bever, Chairman
Pricket of the county central com
mittee will probably call a mass meet
ing of republicans to be held in the
city at an early date to determine
upon the advisability of the renomlna'
ton of Mr.. Bever and to discuss such
other matters as may seem necessary
to serve the best interests Of the par
ty in the approaching election.
The candidates may be nominated
by petition or at a duly called con
~vention by the chairman and secre
tary of the respective county com
mittees. 4
