FATAL ACCIDENT.
Engineer Daddy" johnson Dies From lnlu-
ries Received at Big horn.

An accident which may cost "Dad"
Johnson, one Of the passenger engineers
running between here and Billings,
his life. occurred at an early hour this
morning at Big Horn. Eng ineer John
son had stopped there to coal up his
engine and Fireman Baxter asccnded
tre tender for the purpose of lowering
the chute to the docks, but owing to d
large lump OF Goa. being SO wedged
therein he was unable to do so. Mr..
Johnson, in order to avoid delay, went
to his assistance, and with an iron bar
proceeded to dislodge the obstruction,
which he finally did, but before he
was able 70 clear himself from the fall
of coal he was struck on the back of
the head by a portion of it and rem
dered unconscious. Fireman Baxter
pulled the train to Forsyth and Dr.
Wilson, the company physician, was
summoned. and upon examination
found that Mr.. Johnson had sustained
a severe fracture of the skull. The
doctor accompanied his patient east
until he met the west~bound passenger
train. Up to the time the doctor was
compelled to leave Johnson, who was
being taken to his home at Glcndive,
the man was still unconscious, and
owing to his age and the nature Of the
wound, the chances for his recovery
seem doubtful. dad" Johnson. as
he is generally known, is one of the
most popular and trusted employees Of
the road, and the news of the accident
has been received with much regret by
his numerous friends.
LATER. Since the above was written
| a telegram was received from Glendive
stating that Mr.. Johnson died at his
| home there this morning. All who
knew the deceased speak highly of his
sterling manhood and kind and genial
disposition, and his untimely death is
deplored by all who knew him.
The engines on. this division have
been draped in mourning in honor OF
the departed, who was a member OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gincers. He leaves wife and son tc
mourn his loss.

JUDGE LIQUIDS DECISION.
Decides that McRea is Not le-
9aiiy Entitled to Hold Office
of Justice of the Peace.

AT Miles City, Friday, Judge Loud
rendered his decision in the matter of
the habeas corpus proceedings which
were instituted before him by the board
of commissioners and clerk of Rosebud
county, whom Roderick McRae, at the
kies, had sentenced to one day in Jail
on two occasions and fined 500 and
$50 respectively for contempt" after
the board refused to return to him his
docket. The opinion cuts both ways.
1t was held that the commissioners
would have to pay their fines, but in
end McRae will find himself out of
Office. The judge ruled that while
McRae was not legally entitled to hold
office, he was de facto justice and
the board should have resorted to quo
warranto proceedings in ousting Nc
Rae rather than the course they had
pursued.
Owing to the fact that the action of
the board had not been taken with the
intention or desire of being contemptu-
Gus, but under the belief that their
action was legal, the fines which were
imposed were RENTED.
Quo warranto proceedings have now
been begun before the district court to
nave McRae ousted, and it will doubt
less be but few days until he will
be bounced from Office by the proper
procedure.

A pEccARs' Journal.

A journal is published in Paris for
the instruction and edifcation of beg
gars. It's circulation is limited, being
confined entirely to professionals.
It does not concern itself with politics
or the drama, but contains what may
be called ''market REPORTS" and scraps
of advice and information written by
and for beggars. Says the Neue Freie
Prcsse (Vienna):
"The price of the paper is 20 CEN
times, or cents, which seems rather
high; but it's readers deem it we'll
worth the money on account of it's ad-
vertisements, which, indeed. are the
publisher chief source of profit.
These advertisements are exceedingly
interesting reading for outsiders. Here
are some examples:

EVERY issue of the paper contains
dozens of such advertisements inserted
by mendicant agents and bureaus.
