The policemen on duty on Wells
street were notified by an unknown
man that a woman was dead in the
saloon. The officers at once entered
the place allowing the unknown man
to pass on.
In a rear room they found the wo-
man. Other woman and men who
were found at the drinking tables
seemed ignorant of the tragedy that
had occurred. The dead woman is
unknown to the frequenters of the
saloon, and from her appearance the
police say they dc not believe she
was accustomed to entering such
places. The theory of the police is
that she was drugged, taken into the
saloon and there killed. Bloodstains
were found on the collar. necktie and
shirt of n of the men arrested and
disclosures of a startling nature are
expected.

COUNTIES AND STATE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION.
WORKING FOR AN INCREASE
Concerted Action to Secure a More
Just and Equitable Railroad
Assessment.
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.

Chairman Parker, of the board OF
county commissioners, and County AS
SCISSOR Smith left this morning fol
Helena, where the chairmen of the
boards Of the respective counties oil
the state, together with the assessors
will convene today for the purpose Of
discussing the matter of their appear
ance before the state board of equali
way assessment.
The meeting at Helena will in ev
cry respect be a representative one
The commissioners will be backed up
by a strong appeal to the board from
the people which will set forth by petit
ton the grievances of the taxpayers
cd every county in the state. The
most logical speakers of those who at,
day will be selected to make an argu.
ment to the boara and set forth the
reasons why a higher assessment of
railway property in the state should
obtain.
1t is generally believed that the
meeting of commissioners and asses
sors today will terminate in a formal
demand being made on the state
board for an increase of 100 per cent
in the assessment of railway property,
as compared with the assessment of
a year ago.. Chairman Parker, prior to
his departure from the city was of the
opinion that a 100 per cent raise
would not be unjust to the railways,
and thought that these corpora
lions could easily stand such an in.
crease. He will hold out for such
increase, unless it al be clearly
shown by the arguments of others
that his demand is out of proportion
as compared with the assessment with
other property in the state.
Last Years Assessment in County.
The Northern Pacific in this coun-
ty last year paid on their 1O1 miles
and a fraction of main line at a valu-
alton Of $5,s45 a miles. On a mile
and and a fraction of the Rocky Fork
branch the company paid an assess
ment on $7,O52. Forty-seven and a
fraction miles of Burlington main line
were assessed at $3,5S7.5O a mile. The
railway assessment in the county last
year was on property of the value of
$778,O13.
Should the commissioners and as
SCISSORS at Helena win in their conten-
ton before the state board of equali-
zation and succeed in getting the
raise contemplated, the railway as
sessment in Yellowstone this YEAR
exclusive of the new branch of TIE
Burlington from Toluca south. would
be on a valuation of $1,556.026 Els
timating then that the Burlington's
line from Tcluca south would he val
ued at 100000 for taxation purposes,
the total valuation of railway proper
ty in the county for taxable purposes
would amount in round numbers to
$1.856.O26. On this basis the total as
sessed valuation of all property in
the county would exceed $500. 900.

CAME NEAR DROWNING.
Livingston Man Sank Twice Before
Aid Reached Him.

Livingston, July 2S.-Henry Meyer,
a bartender at Grabeau's saloon, had
a narrow escape from drowning yes
terday at Chico Springs. In company
with Al Robertson and his brother,
Percy. Meyer was swimming in the
pool when he took a cramp and went
under. He called for help, but the
others were too far away to reach him
until he had gone down twice.
Meyer was brought out on the bank
and the water rolled out of him. He
completely recovered in the course of
an hour, and was able to come back
to the city. The accident occurred
just after noon.

GOOD WILL FOLLOW BAD.
Results Of Disastrous Experience al
Red Lodge.
rcm TUESDAYS Daily Gazette,

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
1t may turn out that the two dis
astrous defeats sustained by the ball
team at Red Lodge will be productive
of more good than harm. The truth
is that the unbroken chain of victories
which had preceded Saturday and Sun
days events had caused the players
to become careless and individually
and aa a whole the team was not up to
concert pitch. A laxity of manage
ment and department was permitted
to creep in and the result was a GER
tain amount of decentralization, which
was not discovered until too late.
Now. however, the old way is to be
resumed and there will be a straight
ening out of the crooked places.
Henceforth ball will be played as it
was played before things were allowed
to go wrong.
Tonight a meeting Of the board of
control will be held and somebody is
likely to be on the carpet. At all
events, the team is to be strengthened
and a new leaf turned. The fans need
not boone totally discouraged be-
cause Of the manner in which their
pets were taken into camp by the coal
miners. The season is still quite long
and Billings will be heard from and
often before the final game is played
Arrangements are now under way
for a series of games between the
different semi-professional teams of
the state. Although the dates have
not yet been decided upon it can be
said that Billings, Great Falls, Mis-
soula, Red Lodge, Helena and White
hall, all will be seer OF the local
grounds in the play-off for the cham
pionship. Each Of the outside teams
will play three games in this city,
the other two of the series of five in
which each will have to take part
being reserved for Red Lodge and the
remaining towns. =.
In addition to these games it is also
very probable that Harker's men will
meet the team of Sheridan and play
for the championship Of Northern
Wyoming, a title now claimed by the
Sheridan team.
