Henry Pearl was arraigned in po-
lice court this morning on the charge
OF peeping into the windows of private
residences. He put up such a strong
talk that his honor discharged him
with an admonition to be more care
full in the future. Pearl claims to be
a junk dealer and in support of his
assertion exhibited a number of re-
ceipts and other documents. He said

and was merely looking around with
out n intention of wrongdoing.
Edna White, who presides over a
maison de joie OF the south side, must
stand trial in police court tomorrow
on the charge Of being an inmate and
keeper of a house Of i'll shape. She
was originally arrested for touching
a man to the extent of $50, but after
hearing the particulars the county at
torney concluded that it would be i'm
possible to ecure her conviction on
that charge and a complaint under the
city ordinances was substituted. She
has retained a lawyer and proposes to
fight the case.
Mrs. Stephenson entertained IL lit
tie girls and their mammas Saturday
evening between the hours of 4 and 6
in honor of Charlotte Stephenson's
sixth birthday anniversary. The time
was pleasantly spent with games and
the usual birthday feast, which not
only included that which tempts the
palate, but each little guest received
a pretty toy as a souvenir of the oc-
casion. Little Miss Charlotte was like
wise the recipient of many little gifts
from her friends. Mrs. Stephenson
was assisted by Maud Segur.
The players and "rooters" who went
to Livingston Saturday to maintain
the reputation Of Billings as a place
where the game of tenpins is thorough
ly understood, while they failed in
their mission, are unable to say
enough in praise of the Livingstonians
as entertainers. The treatment ac-
them, compared with that Civ
en- Prince Henry in the east was
enough to have made that distinguish
ed mixer feel like an orphan at a
frolic, had he been there to witness
it.. The town and all it contained
was at the disposal of the men from
Billings. vi
The residents of the western part Of
the city believe they have good cause
of complaint against the bicyclists for
the \utter contempt they seem to en-
Of the ordinance prohibiting
the use of sidewalks as cycle paths.
The men of the wheels not only insist
on riding on the walks. but do so with
the utmost disregard for the rights
and safety of pedestrians and monop-
Dlize those public conveniences as
they YER constructed for their I
sole use and benefit. The suggestion
has been made that if a few Of the
offenders were given a taste of the
law the practice would probably cease.
Among the visitors to the city todAyt'
Is Conrad Kohrs, one OF the best
known range live stock owners in the
state. Mr.. Kohrs is en- route to the
stock meeting at Miles City, but stop
ped here to examine the Parmly Bill
ngs library, Mr.. Kohrs contemplating
erection of a similar structure at
Deer Lodge in memory of a son who
lied while attending school in the
east last year. Referring to the land {
easing bill pending in congress, Mr..
Aohrs said that he had heard much !
lately concerning the meas
Ire and that it is the %concensus of II
that the bill in it's present
'orm will not be enacted into law. ~ <
