ROSEBUD MIDDLE.
HAVE THEIR HEARING TO-DAY
County Commissioners, Clerk, Justice
of Peace and Others Cited
to Miles City.
Tuesdays Daily Gazette.

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
According to reports there seems
to have been a clash of authority be-
tween Justice McRea of Forsyth and
Judge Loud of the district court.
AS was published in yesterdays
Gazette, the former ordered the COM
mittment of the three county com
missioners of Rosebud county, exc the
county clerk, on the charge of con-
tempt of court. The Jail at Forsyth
by a recent order of Judge Loud was
declared unfit for the retention of
criminals Of the more desperate kind
and the four hardened prisoners were
removed to Miles City. When Judge
Loud heard of their presence there
he ordered them taken to the best
hotel in town and subsequently told
them to go back home, having given
an order for their release.
Back to Forsyth the quartette went
anu SSStCluuy al "oo
from the court for the commissioners,
the clerk, the justice who had COM
mitted them and all the others inter-
ested in the affair to appear at Miles
! City this morning, where a regular in
quiry into the matter will take place
before Judge Loud. The hearing was
| set for 10 o'clock this morning.
T. J. Thompson, who is n Of the
democratic t'wah bosses" of Rosebud
county, was in the city for a short
time this morning. He related the
circumstances as given above and also
said that things were decidedly live
ly down Forsyth way. Fights and
knockdowns as a consequence OF the
middle existing there have been Of
frequent occurrence since the election
and the restoration of peace sens tc
be as far off as ever. Mr.. Thompson
stated that just before he left there
last night a fight had occurred and fol
a time it had looked as though some
thing more serious was likely to en-
sue, but wiser counsel prevailed anC
when an inventory of the damages
wrought was taken it was found thai
beyond a badly used up face and a few
discolored optics the list of casual
ties did not extend. He said, however
that feeling ran high and more trou
i Bile was imminent.
AS explained by Mr.. Thompson the
entire difficulty seems to have grown
out of the we'll organized plans made
to unseat 'Jim" Hopkins, who wa
elected state senator. An attorne,
named Carleton of Helena has beef
at Forsyth for a number of days ant
the democrats are particularly bite
against him, for he openly stated tina
the object of his presence there wa
to GUST Hopkins.

New Orleans, Dec. S.-Even the
hardened men on the ranges-cow-
boys and sheepherders-may become
organized into unions at no distant
day. A step in that direction was
taken a few days ago, when Ed Bas-
settle, representing the Denver Trades
and Labor assembly in the American
Federation Of Labor, introduced a res
olution at New Orleans the other day
looking to the organization of the
cowboys and sheepherders of the
western states into unions. 1t reads
as follows:
states the cattle and sheep industry
is one of the most important lines of
commercial and industrial efforts;
and
Whereas, There is a vast army of
workers employed in this particular
field who are DESTROYS of organizing
for the betterment of their condition
and also for afiliating themselves
with the American Federation of La
Dor; therefore, be it
"Resolved, That it is the ems Of
this convention that the cowboys,
sheepherders and such other en-
ployes of the ranches as they may
determine should be organized into
unions, and the executive council is
hereby authorized to issue charters
to such applicants when properly
made
Mr.. Bassette's intentions are, of
course, to better the conditions of the
cowboy and sheepherder, but getting
them into an organization will be a
task quite difficult:

Washington, Dec. 8.-The house to-
day paid a remarkable tribute to the
memory of ex-Speaker Thomas Be
Reed.
His death created a profound i'm
preston and there was a universal
desire among the members that the
house show a signal mark of respect
to his memory. For the house to
take action on the death of a former
member had only three ~precedents

and Alexander Stephens, when the

profound silence, arose and in a few
feeling remarks offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the following min
utes be spread upon the record OF the
house Of representatives: Hon.
Thomas Bracket Reed died in Wash
ington, December 7, 1902. For %
years he had been a member of this
house; for six years it's speaker. This
service terminated with the Fifty-fifth
congress-. Within this chamber the
scene of his life's greatest activities
were laid. Here he rendered services
to his country which placed him in
the front rank of American statesman
ship. Here he exhibited character
istics which compelled respect and
won admiration. Forceful ability, in
trinsic worth, strength of character
brought him popular fame and con
gressional leadership. In him depth

When the reading of the resolution
had been concluded Speaker Hendel

to their present consideration. TIL

sInsufficient time" will be the excuse
the republicans will make for not re
pealing the duty on anthracite coal and
altering many tariff schedules known
to be entirely too high even to suit the
vast majority of. republicans, accord
ing to Representative Grosvenor.
Moreover, the general says that there
will be no extra session, or words TO
that effect. There may be difference
of opinion between the president ana
the general on this score, however, for
it is stated by some politicians who
are very near to the president that he
regards an extra session of the fifty
eighth congress as inevitable to repub-
lican success in 1904, in which Mr.
Roosevelt is very much interested. VI
course he will not commit himself for
the present, but will f'keep his ear to

Corner1nc Grain. },

Corners in grain are made possible
by a scarcity of cash grain, due to
drought, large SHIPMENTS abroad, in
ability to move grain held by farm
ers, simultaneous big purchases on
the part of number Of large buy
ers, and numerous other agencies.
The most successful corner is usually
the one that is most natural; that
is, the least forced. For this rea-
son, the big wheat corner of 1881
(run by the same syndicate that
failed SO signally in 1887 is regarded
as the most successful corner in the
history Of the board in the amount
of grain handled and the actual prof
its resulting from its termination.
With 3o,GoO,000 bushels of wheat in
hand this syndicate closed with the
price at $1.4O a busheI; and the
soundness Of their calculations was
proved when, subsequently, the price
of wheat actually advanced ten cents
beyond this figure. Pilgrim.

There are numerous indications that
the pressure to enact antitrust leg1s-
lation. which will be brought to bear
on congress, will be exceedingly
strong. The president favors it and IS
especially anxious that some means
should be taken to enforce publicity
SO as to prevent the floating of what
are called wildcat stocks on the mar
ket He is told, even by some OF the
financiers, that there is grave ele-
ment Of danger in this now common
practice and he appreciates that the
result may mean a panic which, it it
were to come shortly before election
time, would be almost sure to mean
republican defeat. Doubtless Mr.
Roosevelt will urge the enactment Of
a law in line with Attorney General
Knox's recommendations at Pittsburg,
but that such a law will be passed is
considered very doubtful. Some of the
best posted politicians in Washington,
however, say that compromise law
will be the inevitable result of the
present agitation and that law will
merely take the form of enforcing a
measure of publicity on the trusts.

that he is game. Look over the field

to complain. Not only was he up for
the first place. but he paid three-quar-

He had from all points of view the
largest stake in the contest and he con-
sequently comes out the largest loser.
But there is one thing he has not lost
and that is his manners or his temper

That the utmost vaci1lation and in
decision has been shown by the presi-
dent in handling the sslily white" move
ment in the south is the opinion OF all
who have closely observed his actions
in that connection. Apparently Mr.
Roosevelt has abandoned the enter
prise as hopeless and is now prepared
to return to the old custom OF main
tanning a southern organization, With
it's concomitants of colored republican
office holders, etc. He has removed
two federal office holders in Alabama
for their activity in eliminating the
negro from the party councils and now
it is reported that he has removed
District Attorney Warren S. Reese for
the same cause. For considerable
time the president encouraged Senator
Peter g. Pritchard to believe that he
would have the assistance of the fed
eral administration in his project. Sen
ator Pritchard explained most forcibly
to the president that the only hope Of
building up a successful republican
party in the south must be based on
the elimination of the negro. and
showed him that so long as republican,
ism stood for negro Office holders the
better element of the south would
"vote democratic" regardless of their
convictions on national issues. Now
Mr. Roosevelt has abandoned the SEN
ator and has returned to the old Gus
tom. That he has done so is believed
to auger that he expects to favor the
restriction Of southern representation
in congress and that he believes he
must take the step in order to solidify
the southern delegations to the next
national convention. Soon after the
convention of congress, it is said, Rep
resentatives Dick, Crumpacker and
Dayton will be called in conference
with the president and several mem
bers Of the cabinet to consider the SUBJ
ject Of restricting southern representa-
tion, and it is for that reason that Mr.
Roosevelt has determined to, revert to
the old negro Office holder policy Of his
predecessors.
