Excellent Entertainment Is Promised
for Tomorrow Evening.
From Mondays Daily Gazette.
Tomorrow evening Billings aerie
Fraternal Order of Eagles, will enter
tain the theatre-goers of the city by
giving an entertainment Of an un.
usual and highly interesting character
| Some of the best professional and
amateur talent obtainable will take
part in the programme, which is one
that will undoubtedly prove highly
entertaining to everybody, as it is made
up of features seldom seen. The
orchestra organized for the occasion
is the best that has ever been brought
together in the city and among its
members r to be found men not
only prominent in local musical cir.

almost co-extensive with the country
itself. This feature alone will be
worth the price of admission and will

of the higher class.
The olio is composed of a little
of everything. There will be singing,
dancing, juggling, sketches, a farce,
instrumental solos Of various kinds
and other features entirely new and
amusing.
The proceeds will go to the char
ity fund Of the aerie, as the Eagles
are a charitable as we'll as social or
ganization and their open handed lib
erality and unostentatious charity are
proverbial. Those who attend will not
only be afforded an opportunity to
spend a delightful evening, but they
will also give assistance to a worthy
cause. While v e ready to- dispense
charity to others, the Eagles are not
asking for charity themselves and in
return for the money taken in at the
door they will give one of the best en-
tertainments ever seen on the local
stage. AS an attraction tomorrow
evenings performance will be worth
more than the admission fee and add
ing to this the laudable purpose for
which it will be given every seat

WORK is RESUMED.
Rocky Fork Coal Company Takes
Back Striking Miners. "

After having been out since April
10, the miners employed by the Rocky
Fork Coal company resumed work to-
day, at least announcement was re-
ceived yesterday that a settlement of
the difficulty between the company
and the miners had been arrived at
and that Manager O'Shea had notified
the state inspector of his readiness to
resume work this morning.
The strike vas inaugurated by the
men because Of the order Of the in
spector disseminating the man-trip, an
order the miners claimed originated
from the company. holding that it had
been issued at the instigation Of the
management of the mine. Following
the strike was a notice from the man
ager of the mine calling on the men
to return to their work last Monday.
No heed was paid to the notice, but a
committee representing the Miners
union went to Helena and had a con
ference with the inspector. The out
come was that the latter. withdrew the
obnoxious order, conditional on GER
tain provisions embodied in an agree
ment arrived at between himself and
the union. Mr.. O'shea, however, re-
fused to recognize the agreement and
declined to take the men back, saying
they had forfeited their positions by
their refusal to return to work when
notified to do so.
Matters remained in this condition
until Saturday evening, the inspector
and manager meanwhile holding re
peated communications by wire. An
understanding was finally arrived at
and all the men will be taken back,
except one, the weighmaster, who re-
signed, and his place will be filled by
an active member of the union. Al
though Of their own selection, the
man who resigned proved objection
able to the miners and for the sake of
harmony he agreed to quit.

to think that they are "up against

time some other part of the country
will attempt to create a market for
the wool product of the state.
