WILSON-SNIDER.
Marriage Of EstimabIe Young Couple
of Park City.

Park City, Mont, Dec. 26, 1903.
At the newly completed home on
the Snider ranch, adjoining Park City,
occurred the marriage of Mr.. Herbert
Snider and Miss Maude E. Wilson at
high noon on Christmas 'ey. Mr..
Wilson is favorably known in Billings,
where he has followed carpentering
most of the time for six years. About
one year ago when he and his father
bought the ranch on which they now
reside, some friends surmised that
Cupid had. a companion somewhere
for him.
Seven months ago., Miss Maude, an
''old chum" of Herbs" sister, longing
for a sight of Montana scenery, came
to visit a year, little dreaming that
out here in the wild and woolly west
Cupid's dart was awaiting her in the
hand of a passing acquaintance of 9th
er days. She is an accomplished
lady, fine musician and makes a
place for herself in the life of all with
whom she has intimate acquaintance.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. w. Snider, as the happy
pair stood in a bower of lace curtains,
potted flowers and holly. After the
usual congratulations the guests were
seated at the dining table, to partake
OF a sumptuous repast served in
courses.
Many beautiful, useful and valuable
presents were received. The happy
pair are enjoying their honeymoon
at home. Their many friends far and
near extend to them congratulations
and the wish of a long and pleasant
married life. x.

Fuller Estate.

~ vV0htSo " HNuJuIItSSCI VII
Fuller Estate.
Stuart Polk has filed a petition for
letters Of administration of the es-
tate of Sarah N. Fuller, deceased.
The petitioner alleges that the es-
tate consists of household goods, fix
lures, jewelry and other personal eff
fects of a value of about 81, 500, and
lots 10, II and II. block 1877, together
with a frame dwelling, of the further
value of about $4,000.

Tridelphia, and a brother, William
Morrison, of Alexandria, w. V. The

DOUBT WILL CONTINUE FEW
DAYS LONGER.
WAITING FOR FULL BOARD
Republican Members Desire Presence
of Democrat When Returns Are
Officially Counted.
From Fridays Daily Gazette.

Much as they dislike to longer keep
in doubt the w candidates and the
public, Messrs. Parker and Deverill,
the majority of the board of county
commissioners in the city today, de-
cided not to make the official count
of the vote cast at the recent special
election, Notwithstanding that last
Wednesday evening they gave it out
that the canvass would be made to-
day. In consequence of this decision
the matter will have to go over un-
til next Monday.
In explanation of the p~ostponement
the gentlemen said that in view of
the very evident c%loseness of the vote
and the Importance of the subject
they had come to the conclusion that
it would be no more than fair and just
not to make the canvass until the full
board could be present. Both
Messrs. Parker and Deverill are re-
%publicans, while the remaining COM
missioner, Mr.. Jacobs, is a democrat.
BY waiting until he can attend and
participate in the canvass both polit-
ical parties will be represented and
thus assurance is. given that the in
terests of each will be carefully
guarded. While they, of course, had
full authority to proceed and while
not doubling that t~heirareturns would
have been received without question,
still the gentlemen thought it would
be NJ more than right to respect the
feelings of the men on the other side
Of the political fence and as they put
it ''give all an equal show"
Mr.. Jacobs is expected to arrive
early Monday morning and the can
vass will be made as soon thereafter
as possible.

THEIR POPULAR N hi
People Of Laurel Prefer De-
cember to June.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.

From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
1t is evident that the young people
of Laurel differ from the majority
Of those who seek pleasure in life
by making the journey in double har-
ness as to the proper time in which
to enter into the momentous contract.
Instead of June, they favor Deem
Der with it's snow, it's glowing fires,
happy Christmas and the many other
pleasures it affords to those of vigor-
Gus body and healthful mind. At
least it looks that way, judging from
the number of marriage licenses that
have been issued to couples from that
village during the present month.
Among the latest from there to Sc
cure the necessary permission to
share the joys of marital relations
are William H. Webster and Nora
Lochridge, to whom a license was
granted Wednesday evening. The
bride-elect had not attained the legal
age when she could act on her own
responsibility and Father Lochridge
asked to give his written consent
before the necessary document could
issue that gave authority to the min
mister to join the young hearts that
were beating in unison. This he did
with smiling willingness and com
pleted the happiness of the pair.
Last evening Fred B. Mitchell call
cd at the home of Deputy Clerk
Dunno and asked him for a license
to wed Mable M. Reynolds. He ex-
planned that he had deferred until the
last moment, as he did not want his
friends to Josh" him before hand.
He was given a license and later was
married by the Rev. MI. Clark at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. George Lad
bury, who themselves are still living
in the afterglow Of their own honey
moon.

COUNTY CLOSES CONTRACT
WITH HELENA ARCHITECT.
Will Be MODERN BUILDING
YeIlowstone's New Court House and
Jail Promise to Equal Any
in Montana.

ITO C. E. Bell of Helena have the
county commissioners awarded the
contract for preparing the plans and
specifications of the new court house
and Jail and supervising their erec-
ton. The award was made Wednes-
day evening.
In all five proposals were submit
ted. The competing architects were:
J.. G.. Link, Billings; Black & Long
staff, Great Falls; j. K. Dow, Spo-
kane; G. S. Hare, Helena, and Mr..
Bell. The matter of making a selec-
ton was anything but an easy n and
the commissioners spent several try
ing and tiresome days before they ar
rived at a decision. All of the plans
we're good and each had some special
feature that commended it, but it was
finally decidede that the me of Mr..
Bell embraced the most of the salient
points to be considered and his was
selected.
The plans for the court house con
template a structure 65x97 feet, aver
age dimensions, three stories high,
to be of brick and stone; brick back
ing and stone facings; fire proof and
partitions of brick, with a copper
roof. In general appearance the
building will be in accordance with
what is known as the capitol style
of architecture.
The Jail will be built separately and
will be two stories in height and in
addition to the accommodations for
prisoners will also contain the sher-
IFS residence. l will be 33x72 feet.
In the basement will be located the
heating plant for the two buildings.
Some adverse comment has been
heard from those who have looked at
the drawing showing the front eleva-
ton of the court house, which has
been placed on exhibition in the
store of Holmes & Rixon. Many
think that a building of the dimen-
sions and general appearance shown
in the picture cannot be constructed
for the amount of money to which the
county will be restricted under the
provisions of the bond issue voted for
the improvement. This would prob,
ably be the case were the actual
structure to be as large as is indicat-
ed in the drawing. The plans adopt
ed are for a building considerably
smaller, and the object of the draw.
ing is merely to give a general idea
of the appearance of the building
when it shall have been completed.
A strong guarantee has been given
that when finally submitted the plans
and specifications will call for a
structure the cost OF which will be
within the limit of the amount at the
disposal of the commissioners.

DAY HAPPILY z
Good People Of Billings Had. Indeed a
Merry Christmas.
From Fridays Daily Gazette.

From Fridays Daily Gazette.
Just cold enough to be bracing and
invigorating, the sky as clear aud
blue as in June and the snow of the
right depth, yesterday was indeed an
ideal Christmas day for the good peo-
pie of Billings. Early the city was
astir and almost everybody was out
exchanging greetings with friends
and neighbors. Services were held in
the different churches where the
Christ child was worshipped and
praise accorded the Savior of the
world. Later in the day almost ev-
erybody had company and merry
groups gathered under the friendly
roofs of generous hosts. John Lose
kamp had his annual distribution of
presents for the little folks and made
glad hearts that otherwise would prob
ably have been heavy, for good as he
is, Santa Claus does occasionally
overlook some children and Mr.. Lose
kamp was the Santa for these.
In the afternoon the Eagles held a
social session in honor of the cal
phonse and CASTOR" company, many
members of which are of that fra
ternity, and a right happy event it
proved to be. Nat. G. Carwile pre-
sided and made an acceptable pre-
siding officer. Mayor George was
called on and made a speech of well
come to the guests and in other ways
added to the enjoyment. Songs were
sung, stories told and the pop of corks
and the clink of glasses attested to
the good cheer and fellowship that
prevailed. The session lasted from
4 until 6 o'clock and the Eagles added
another to the many successes they
have scored as entertainers.
At night the Yoemen danced, en-
masque, and fun and frolic ruled to
chase the hours away until the ener-
getic rooster, who knows nothing
about Christmas, crowed to announce
the arrival of another day of toll and
labor.
Many of those to whom the dance
has no charm attended the theatre and
laughed at the mishaps of "Alphonse
and CASTOR" and enjoyed a %rollicking.
happy evening, a fitting close to a
day given to merriment and joy.
