SAGE is BETTER.
Great Financier Said to Be Out of
Danger.

New York, Oct. 8.-The condition
of. Russell Sage, who has been suf-
fering from a bad cold and was threat
ened with pneumonia, was reported this
morning as favorable. He is at his
country house at Cedarhurst, l.. l.
The physician attending Mr.. Sage
said he was in no danger, but that
it would be better for him to remain
at home until next Monday.
Wall street. was inclined to be
doubtful about Mr.. Sage's condition
this morning. Mr.. Sage has a large
number of loans of collateral that
might be wanted at any moment, and
in the event of his death either a sud
den calling of his loans or a situation
in which the securities in his safe
deposit vaults, which are held as col
lateral, would be tied up indefinitely
and would result in trouble and loss.
C. W. Osborne, cashier for Mr.. Sage,
to set at rest any fears on the latter
point, made the authoritative state
ment that in the event of Mr.. Sage's
death his debtors would have no trou-
Bile. The safe deposit vaults in which
the securities held as collateral for
loans are kept, he admitted, are held
Jointly in the name of Mr.. Sage and
of himself, and so it could be opened
at any time and securities delivered
to borrowers in return for the amount
of their loans.

MORE KINDLY
MERGER PROJECT GROWING IN
IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
ONLY ONE FACTION OPPOSED
congressman Deliver Addresses on
Great Benefits Accruing from
Irrigation Legislation.
ONLY one FACTION OPPOSED

Colorado Springs, Oct. 8.-The all
absorbing topic among the delegates
to the irrigation congress today is
the question of the proposed merger
with the Trans-Mississippi congress.
The tendency on the part of the del
egates TO favor the merger is con-
stantly growing and there is little
doubt in the minds Of most observers
of the movement proving successful.
1t is being strenuously opposed by
a strong faction headed by F. ]. Kei-
sci, Of Ogden, Utah, on the ground
that irrigation should be maintained
as an issue in itself while the old
leaders of the irrigation congress,
headed by George Maxwell of Chi
cago and John Henry Smith of Salt
Lake, are as strongly in favor OF he
merger. on the ground that the irriga-
ton congress in securing the passage
of the irrigation act, has accomplish
ed it's object and leave further mat
tiers in the development of the irriga-
ton theory to the hands of the gov
eminent officials to whom it now
naturally falls.
An effort was, made at the opening
of the congress this morning by he
opposition to the merger, to force the
question to a vote by shutting eff fur
Their speech making until the reports
of the committee on resolutions and
permanent organization had been
heard, neither of which has yet been
submitted The n of the conven-
ton was to some extent determined
by the voting down of this PROPOSE
ton.
1t is a fact that the merger PROPOSE
ton is new to- most of the delegates
and the friends of the resolution affirm
now that their motive was not under
stood. The reports of both these COM
mittees will probably be received to-
day, although they are being delayed
as much as possible by the friends OF
the merger in order that the growing
inclination on the part of the dele
gates in their favor may have a
| chance to crystalize.
At this mornings session addresses
on the great benefit to accrue to the
people as a result of irrigation leg
, islation were made by Congressman

SWANSON PLEADS GUILTY IN
FEDERAL COURT.
SAYS He OPENED LETTERS
Is Fined on One Count Of First In.
dictmen-others Are Dis
missed.

tfE DllCl AlCnLlOA was Aldu0 III yOSLGl.
days issue of The Gazette that Peter
F. Swanson of this city had pleaded
guilty in the federal court at Butte
and had been fined by Judge Knowles.
The following taken from the Stand
ard gives the particulars of the case
and shows that more than one in
dictment had been returned against
Swanson and that each alleged sew
eral ctrenses:
Peter F. Swanson, against whom
the United States grand jury recent
~ returned two indictments for de-
Gaining and opening letters belonging
to others while acting as a clerk in
the postofice in Billings, pleaded gull
ty to count No. 1 Of a four-count in
dictment in the federal court yester-
day and was fined $500, the maximum
punishment, by Judge Knowles. The
Judgment was backed by an order for
his commitment until the fine was sat-
isfied.
The plea was made with the under
standing that the other three counts
of the Indictment should be dismissed
along with the whole Of the other in
dictment. After the plea of guilty
had been entered and sentence pro-
nounced George H. Bailey, the assist
ant United States attorney. asked for
the dismissal of the other charges and
the court granted the request.
The count to which Swanson plead
Led guilty charged him with having
( detained and opened a letter sent
from Washington, d. c., to the post
master in Billings. The other counts
in the same indictment charged him
with OBTAINING and opening other let
tiers addressed to the postmaster, but
the Indictment containing only one
|, count accused him of opening a let
ter containing a money order for $50
THAT had been sent by Nick Smith Of
\ st. Paul to the Billings postmaster.
The offense, according to the in
dictments, were all committed on or
| ABOUT august D u ILLS ycdl.
Attorney w. M. Johnston of Bill
ings appeared for the defendant and
made an earnest appeal for his client
before Judgment VISA pronounced. He
said that Swanson was an old resi-
dent Of Billings and had been in the
postal service there a long time. Be
fore entering the postoffice in that
city he had worked under two post
masters in Sheridan, Wyo., and no
| one ever had any fault to find with
! his work. To this statement he add
ed that Swanson had always borne a
splendid reputation in Billings and
other places in which he was known,
and that the offense fer which he had
been arrested was his first.
Following the judgment of the court
the attorney announced that Swanson
vas ready to pay the fine at once, but
the money was in a bank in this city
and could not be obtained until to-
day. In. view of this state of affairs
he requested that the defendant be
permitted to retain his liberty on the
bond of SIT 0 which has been in force
since his arrest early in August. The
court granted the request.

FUTILE EFFORT TO SPIRIT AWAY
WITNESS.
THEIR WORK TOO COARSE
jim Miller Paid for Leaving Country
Finds Himself an Inmate
Of the Jail.
From Thursdays Daily Gazetts.

34OsA oA0y > 00Alv 1oASSS0s
A very clever attempt apparently,
to run a prosecuting witness in an
assault out of the country, with his
WI consent, was nipped in the bud
by the local officers this morning.
Several weeks ago Jim Miller, who
has been employed by the Lake Basin
Sheep company, was set upon by a
gang of tOughs and beaten in an in
human manner his left leg being
broken and his face badly mangied
at the hands and feet Of his assail-
ants. The police were near at hand
when the assault was committed and
Chief Jackson and Officer Hayden ar
rived on the eel in time to arrest
Ed. Walling, Robert Warner, AL.
Grover and Fred Morris, who We're
placed in Jail and held upon a charge
of assault in the second degree. Their
examination was fixed. for last Sat
surday, but was continued until today,
and insthe meantime the men have
been in the county jail, on account
Of being unable to furnish bond in
the sum of $500, each.
Miller has been in the hospital
since the assault was committed.
Last night about Z o'clock a buggy
was driven up to the hospital and Mil
Ter, who is well on the road to recov-
cry, hobbled out with the aid of a
crutch and entered the buggy and it
was rapidly driven away. The Of
ficers were oon after apprised of the
fact of his hasty departure and began
to search for him. They learned that
the buggy had been driven to Huntley
and that Miller had received the sum
of 500 to leave the country and 60
to his old home in Nebraska.
Deputy Sheriff Sayles went to Hunt
ley on a freight train this forenoon,
it having been ascertained that Mil
Ter was there waiting for the east
bound Burlington train that is due
to leave Billings at 10 a. m. Arriv'
ing at Huntley he found that Miller
had been seen there early this morn
ing, but had not been noticed since
the passage of an eastbound North
ern Pacific freight train, an hour
prior to the officers arrival. Mr.
Sayles at once te%legraphed ahead and
made provisions for intercepting the
man at some point further down the
road. Just before the arrival CT the
w%estbound train he happened to stray
over to a little ravine neal the sta
ton where he found his man %reposing
gently under a ,clump of bushes. He
placed him under arrest and brought
him bach and locked him up in the
city Jail.
A search of his clothes revealed only
SIS in cash and it is supposed tina!
the money is awaiting him further
down the road, as Miller could not
have reached Nebraska on thai
amount. The officers are of the opin
ion that a draft was sent to him al
Sheridan, or some other point and he
expected to get eff and obtain it when
out of danger Of being brought back
Miller refused to talk about the
matter, but the officers are acquaint
ed with all the facts of the case AM
have evidence duplicating five per
sons, one or two women being among
the number. 1t is likely that severa
arrests will be made before night.

HOLY TRINITY
Will Likely Celebrate Its Golden
Jubilee Anniversary In
October.

Father John B. Kelly, rector of Holy
Trinity church, New Albany, although
he has done more to build up his congre-
cation than any of his predecessors,
takes none of the credit for himself. He
is modest man, who prefers to do his
work quietly and without any ostenta-
ton. Referring to the golden jubilee
which will occur in October, Father
Kelly last Sunday pleasantly referred to
the article in the Kentucky Irish Ameri-
can, and said to his congregation that if
it was desired to celebrate the occasion
he would insist that it be a congrega-
tional affair. He would give his hearty
cooperation to any movement inaugu-
rated by his parishioners to celebrate the
event, but would not place himself at
the head of the movement. Although
he did not say so it is evident that Father
Kelly does not wish to place himself in
the position of celebrating an event in
which he would naturally be made prom
inent. 1t is likely that the trustees and
other leading members of the congrega-
ton will take the matter up at an early
date and arrange for the celebration. 1t
is considered no more than right that
the fiftieth ami versary of the building
of the largest Catholic church in South
ern Indiana be celebrated in some fitting
way, and Father Kelly's assistant,
Father Kenny, and his trustees will be
equal to the occasion.
All that was said complimentary of
Father Kelly in this paper on July 5 is
very pleasing to the members of his con-
gregation, but had Father Kelly his own
way about such things he would have
nothing said. as he takes little credit to
himself for his work.
