The erection of another handsome
and imposing business building in
Billings became an assured fact yes
terday when a force of men began
work on excavating for the basement
of the building to be erected by
Messrs. Moss and Rowley on the quar-
ter of a block of ground on Twenty
eigth street, Immediately north Of the
annex to the Belknap block.
The plans for the new structure were
prepared by Link & Carter and con-
template a building of $50 feet front
age on Twenty-eighth street with a
depth of 70 feet, three stories in
height. The building to be erected
this year is planned so that two wings
may be added at the back with an
open court between, and this addition
will very likely be made next year and
the building will then be used as a
first-class hotel. At present the own
ers contemplate having six store
rooms on the first floor and convert
ing the upper rooms into offices or an
apartment house.
The building will be modern in all
it's appointments and pressed brick
with terra Gotta trimmings will be
used. The lower floor will present a
solid plate glass front and steel will
be used in the construction work.
Contracts for the iron and steel to be
used in the construction work have
already been let to an eastern firm.
There may be M delay in securing
this part of the material as all of the
steel manufacturers are months be-
hind their orders. The contract. how
ever, was let some time ago and the
material may be Forthcoming sooner
than expected.
With the completion of the new city
hall together with the lately finished
annex to the Belknap block the new
building will give Twenty-eighth street
a truly metropolitan appearance and
that street will no doubt enjoy a ver-
liable boom.
The investment of a large sun Of
money by the gentlemen who are put
ting up this building, both Of whom
are already possessed of large inter
ests in the city, is a guarantee that
they pin their faith strongly on the
future of Billings and is a lesson to
pessimists who are inclined to knock

MAY SAVE HIS LEG.
Tom Cotter Shoots Himself Near the
Hip, Accidentally.

Yellowstone Journal: Drs. Andrus
and Bruning left last night near mid.
night on a hurry up call from Glen
dive. A special engine having been
sent UP for them. The telegram
merely stated ito assist in amputa-
tion.' It was later ascertained that
Tom Cotter had shot himself in the
leg, accidentally. The doctors return
ed this morning and in reply to a
question as to whether the leg was
amputated or would be, DR.. Andrus
stated that he did not think it would
be, though of course it was a little
early to state positively. The wound
was caused by the accidental dis
charge of a revolver of large calibre
the ball entering the back of the leg,
below the bottom Of the hip pocket.
From another source it was learned
that during the evening Cotter had a
difficulty with a wool buyer named
Patterson, a tall, heavy set man, AMI
had broken his nose, BACKED his eye
bit his ear and compelled him to go
to bed. Later on Cotter went into
the Jordan hotel bar. slipped a revolv-
er out of the till, and put it in his hip
pocket. Then he started out to look
for Patterson, not knowing that he
was already knocked out. The gun
went off once over by the lunch
counter and the last time in the hotel
bar where Cotter returned. The bone
was badly splintered and one leg will
probably be shorter than the other
besides putting Cotter out of active
business for about three months.

course of her ministrations Pringle
came to the door and for some reason
proceeded to kick it In, Mr., Lawrence
arose from the bed where he was re-
clining and threw the water pitcher
at Pringle's head. AS that gentleman
was in the habit of taking his water

rence's action and pasted him one be-
tween the eyes and wound UP by
throwing him on the bed and choking
the daylights out of his brother Thes-

heard the row and rushed in and pull
ed Pringle off of his fallen opponent.
Mrs. Goddard desired to attach the
baggage of the company yesterday in
order to recover a portion of her mon
ey put up in advance but it was found
that there was a lien on the baggage
in the shape Of an unpaid hotel bill
which was a prior claim. The COM
pany was reorganized yesterday and
Mrs. Goddard was left out of the DR.
ganization.

Mrs. Wayne Goddard, who came
here with the theatrical organization
that is holding the boards at the Bill,
ings opera house this week, was the
bone of contention over which. two
members of the company had a fierce
fight on Thursday night after the con.
clusion of the performance. Mrs
Goddard claims that she financed the
organization and started it on the
road, and mas been it's good t'angel''
ever since.
She asserts that ever since the
show started that the manager, a Mr..
Pringle, has been persistent in his
advances toward her Notwithstanding
the fact that she has a good and true
husband down east somewhere whom
she loves devotedly. She further states
that she has resented with firmness
and dignity the aforesaid advances
and has given Mr.. Pringle no cause to
believe that she had any leaning to-
ward him except in a financial way.
Notwithstanding this fact he was con-
stantly showing his jealousy whenever
she paid any attention whatever to
any of the other male members of the
company, and here is where the fight
comes in.
Mr.. Lawrence, a member of the COM
pany, was quite ill Thursday evening
and after the show she took him to
her room and placed cold applications

COLD ICE AND WARM ICE.

Com pared with Some Substances All
Joe Is iSeai'y Not.
The college professor asked the rest
of us whether ice was colder in win
ter than it was in summer. Now, to
the rest of us, ice was ice, and there
fore we could not see how it could re-
main ice and be either colder or warm
er. Then the professor explained the
thing in this fashion:
"If thermometer is buried in Ice In
summer 1t will indicate 81 degrees. If
you throw a piece Of ice into boiling
water, and leave it there until it Is al
most gone, what Is left would be still
at 80 degrees. Ice can never be got
ten above that temperature.
"But while ice can never be warmed
above 80 degrees, 1t will go as much
below that as the weather does. An
iceman delivering ice one zero day in
January was asked whether his ice
was any colder than in July. He
thought not. But, as matter of fact,
a piece Of summer ice If he had had it,
would have been something of foot
warmer for him, as it would have been
80 degrees warmer than the air Of the
bottom of his wagon.
Milking salt with ice makes 1t much
cooler. The ice in wine cooler goes
down to about zero. This is why the
point zero on our common thermome-
tiers was fixed where it is. 1t was
supposed to be the lowest point which
could be reached by artificial means.
Since then we have reached about 1888
degrees below zero by chemical pro-
cesSes.
'.Ice will cool down with everything
else, on cold night to zero or below.
What should prevent it? On day
when it is just freezing block of iron
and block of ice outdoors will stay at
80 degrees. If the weather grows
warmer the iron will warm up with
the weather, but the ice will stay at
32 degrees and melt away. But if the
weather grows colder the iron and the
ice will cool off, and one just as much
as the other.
"As the ice grows colder 1t gets hard
er and more brittle There can be no
l<eiekory bend on skating pond on a
sttero day. for ice is then too brittle.
Slivers of ice dipped in liquid air be-
come so hard that they will cut glass.
Water thrown on ice in the Arctic re-
gions will shiver 1t like pouring boil
ing water upon cold glass. This is be-
cause the ice is SO much colder than
\ the water Beverages.

DISEASE THEIR uNDoINo.

Pestilence Made Degeuerates of the
p eopie In the Middle Age.-
In 134S pestilence that swept over
the greater part of Europe well-nigh
destroyed the moral sensbilities OF the
human race. During the prevalence of
the plague there seemed TO be no sense
OF honor, no realization Of duty to God
OF man in many parts OF the continent
A physician OF Ayignon. France, writes
of the conditions that then existed:
''The father did not visit his son, nor
the son his father. Charity was dead"
Viliant says OF his neia.ibors at Flor
ence that they behaved as might per-
haps be expected from infidels and
savages. Men gave themselves up to
the enjoyment Of the worldly riches to
which they had succeeded" The En-

stepped themselves In gluttony and
lechery; the poor idled, brawled, took
advantage Of the necessities Of their
lords and became irreligious and rebel
lious.
Scarcely writer fails to record the
utter selfshness Of the period of the
visitation and the dissoluteness and
lowered morals which followed in it's
wake. The surviving laborers insisted
on higher wages and employers used
their influence with the government to
pass laws to compel the acceptance Of
the old rates. Contention ragged be-
tween rich and poor, and the seeds
ants rebellions.
The building of churches ceased for
a time. The newly laid foundations of
the vast nave and choir of the cathe
dral at Siena were left as they were,
and have never been built upon to this
day.
A thousand partially built churches
remained stationary for time and
their construction was resumed only
when architectural style had changed
so distinctly that the line of division
can still be seen. At Oxford and
Cambridge and Paris the number of
students was depleted and never again
rose to its former number. The clergy
suffered more than any other class in
the community. Many monastery
had lost it's whole body of occupants.
In others the few survivors, with d.
minished income and discipline be-
cause Of the death of their leading
members, never reflled their numbers
or regained their old prosperity and
vigor. The bishops were compelled to
ordain to the service Of the church the
young, the inexperienced, the litter
ate, and even then there were too few
for its needs.
