MOTHER ABANDoNs HER CHILD
AT MINNEAPOLIS.
TELTALE DRUGGIST LIABLE
Medicine Bottle Left in Room With
Infant Gives Police
a Clue.
From Thursdays Daily Gazette.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
Last Tuesdays Minneapolis Journal
contains an account of the desertion
of a t~wo-weeks-old infant by it's moth
er, who is supposed to be from Miles
City.
The woman and child arrived the
day before at the Lamar hotel, a
Third street hostelry, and engaged a
room, saying she expected to remain
a few days. TO N of the chamber
maids she said she had been trying
to place the child in the Bethany
home, but it had been refused because
she did not have a physicians GER
tificate that the baby was in a healthy
condition. She remained about the
hotel until the following morning,
when she disappeared and is suppos.
ed to have left in time to catch the
westbound Northern Pacific train.
Sometime afterward one of the cham
bermaids entered the room occupied

having been abandoned by it's moth
er. Search was made for the woman,
but nothing could be learned concern
ing her. The fact that she had taken
along all of her clothes made it very
apparent that she had intended from
the first to desert her child.
She left behind her a bottle Of med
icine, on the label of which was the
name "W. E. Savage, druggist" but
the name of the town had been n
fully erased. The bottle was given
to the police and after a tour of the
wholesale drug stores it was ascer-
tanned that Savage is located at
Miles City. The prescription had been
filled June II.
With this knowledge in their pos
session, the police turned over the
case to the county authorities and
kilograms were sent in various d.
rections %cautioning the police of diff
ferent towns to look out for the wo-
man. It was believed that she would
be arrested at Fargo, as 1t was
thought she left for Montana.

HAVE NOT ~DEsPAIRED.
Billings People Will Try Crow Treaty
Bill Again.

-
Bill Again.
From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
Now that it is definitely settled that
the Grow reservation treaty bill will
not become a law at the present e s
sion of congress, steps intended to
again place the matter before congress
next winter will be taken during the
summer if the wishes of leading bus
mess men of the town prevail. It is
a well-known fact that the free homes
feature of the bill had much to do
with bringing about opposition to the
measure, and with the idea Of having
that part of the bill eliminated it has
been suggested that a committee from
the city wait upon Senators Clerk
and Gibson during the summer re-
cess and ask that they amend the bill
accordingly next winter.
1t has been further suggested that
the right of Indians to retain lands
within the proposed coded strip should
also be stricken out, but this would
require a new treaty with the Indians,
which is not always easily obtained.
But in the pending treaty it is the
opinion of those competent to Judge
that the Indians would consent to such
an amendment, for the reason that
the tribe sees the necessity for the
sale Of a large section of its lands
in order that it's herds may be in
| creased and the financial condition of
the tribe improved.
The people of tho city do not in
any way intend to relax their efforts
to open the lands in question. They
have had the matter before congress
for several years and though defeated
are not in the least discouraged. They
fully realize that the treaty as made
by a drunken, debauched and dilatory
commission is not the best for the In
dams or whites. They have. lever
theless, made up their minds to
make the best of the situa-
ton and bring about the opening of
the lands under the most favorable
conditions possible.

wITHDRAws THE ACTION.
w. 3. George Effects Settlement Witt
Billings Realty Company. Z,
IRON Thursdays Daily Gazette.

An agreement was arrived at yes
terday between w. B. George and
the Billings Realty company by which
the suit instituted by Mr.. George
against the company for a deed to the
lots embraced in the West Side ad-
dition was to be withdrawn and the
matter settled out of court. Under
the settlement Mr.. George obtains
a clear title to the property and he
company its money.
The action was begun last month
by Mr.. George to compel the company
to perform it's part of the contract ex-
listing between the two by which the
plaintiff was to obtain possession of
the property at a stipulated price.
The date upon which the contract *
pired had passed without final pay
ment having been made by plaintiff
and sometime afterward the COM
pany declared the contract
abrogated. George claimed that
he had not been notified Of the com
pany's intention, and inasmuch as a
prior contract had been renewed at
ter the date of it's expiration and the
company had continued to recognize
him, after the expiration of the Sec
ond, as being in possession to the ex-
tent of acknowledging his right to
dispose of some of the lots included in
the tract, he commended that to all in
tents and purpose the contract was
still in existence and sued the COM
pany for breach of contract and dam
ages and also demanded judgment
for possession.
The comapny began to resist the
action and filed a demurrer to the
complaint. This was argued at the
last session of court and Judge Loud
took it under advisement. Decision
has not yet been rendered. :

MR.. CORFIELD DETECTS HIM

Superintendent George Corfeld. of the
Bergen Baptist Church Sunday school, at
Madison and Clinton avenues. on the
Heights. reported to the police of the
Communipaw avenue station house yes
terday that an intelligent looking but
poorly clad young man was defrauding
numerous wealthy residents on the
Heights by means of a bogus Letter The
letter was a plea for funds for branch
of the missionary work carried on by the
church and signed by the Rev. Addison
Moore
It is believed that the follow collected
numerous sums from certain members of
the church and others. He Gid not prac-
tico the same scheme in every house ne
visited. He produced second letter
which told of his various afflictions and
adding that he was deaf and dumb AT
Superintendent Corfields house, opposite
the church on Madison avenue, the fei-
low produced the deaf and dumb letter;
Mr. Corfield Immediately began to talk
the mute language to him. whereupon the
fellow walked away Mr.. Corfield then
notified the police. Patrolman lockwood
began a search of tho various streets to
locate the imposter, but could ind no
trace of him.
1t was learned later that many people
had been victimszed by both letters but
principally by the letter asking funds for
the church work. The signature Of the
Rev. Add son Moore had been forged to
the appeal for money.
The police are more than desirous of
capturing the men who are dup'ng the
residents on tho Heights by means of
these bogus letters The Rev. G. G.
Vogel pastor of the Emory Methodist
Methodist Church on Belmont avenue,
made a complaint to the police few
weeks ago to the effect that well
dressed individual was making the rounds
of his congregation with letter sup
posed to be signed by him, asking for
funds for the proposed new church build
ing soon to be erected. The fellow Sc
cured about S10e, as near as can be learn
ed. before the police were asked to look
him up. The swindler disappeared and
no trace of him was ever discovered.
The Rev. E. L. Stoddard, Ph.D., rector
of ST. Johns Episcopal Church on Sum-
nit avenue, has twice warned his con-
gregation not to heed a request for funds
which some slick crook was making with
fake letter containing the forged sigma
ture of the pastor. This fellow also Sc
cured many donations before it was
learned that he was working a crooked
game.
At another time, some one supposed to
be working in the interests of the Organ
lied Aid Society OF Jersey City, secured
several sums of money from members of
the Bergen Reformed, First Presbyterian
and St. Johns Episcopal Church, by
means of bogus letter. The police of
the Heights are watching for the swim
dlers.

The Republican leaders of the Eighth
Ward are greatly disturbed over the news
that the Younger element Of, the Ward
Club is to make a fight against them at
the annual election to be held on Tues
day night. At first they treated the news
as an April fool joke. but the work done

votes shows that. if there be any joke, it
will be on them.
The present managers of the club are to

who will cater to the interests of the
younger element, who care little for the
political end of the game. George w.
Decker will be elected president. and
Chairman Edward W. Wooley. of the

the obstacle to success, and that ne must
