Brussels, April ia serious riot has
occurred at Louvain, near Brussels.
The Socialists held a demonstration in
front of the residence of M. Scholaert,

The police, in attempting to dispense
them, were received with shower of
stones. The Civic Guard then fired on
the mob. A similar riot occurred in
another part of Louvain, and altogether
five persons were killed and IL were

The rio ing at Louvain began at about

streets of the town, smashing windows
with bottles and rivets. They broke
through the police cordons in the Rue
Tierclmont. The Civic Guards stationed
in the Place Saint Antoine ultimately
became hard pressed by the rioters, and
fired volley. The guard fired second
volley in front OF the Catholic Club. 1t
is rumored that IL policemen were
wounded. In some quarters the number
of wounded policemen is placed at 20

Boer Leaders to Hold Conference Weeks
Before Negotiations Can Be Resumed.


London, April 19.-The government
leader, A. j. Balfour, in the House of
Commons made the following statement
"After two conferences between Lord
Miner, the British high commissioner
in South Africa, and Lord Kitchener
and the Boer delegates at Pretoria, Lord
Kitchener, while refusing to grant an
armistice on military grounds, has
agreed to give facilities for the election
and maintaining of representatives of
the various Boer commands to consider
the position. The Boer leaders have
therefore left Pretoria to carry out this
PLAN"
Mr.. Balfour added that it was not ex.
pected that communication between the
Boer leaders could be resumed in less
than three weeks.
Mr.. Balfour's statement made gener-
ally favorable impression.

to inquirers that his eyesight was very

an innocent one, annoyed a number of
old Parliamentary hands. and of late

Struggled Gems Seized.

Washington, Dec. Especial Agent
J.. F. Evans, stationed at Ell Paso,
Tex, has reported to the secretary
of the treasury department the seiz-
ure at Ell Paso of diamonds said to
be worth $24,O 900, which, it is claimed,
we're Struggled from England by way
of New York. The jewels have been
placed in the custody of the collector
of customs at Ell Paso pending a hear
ing of the case. One of the pieces
of jewelry was a diamond necklace
containing 1872 gems, mostly small.
Another was a brooch containing
about 600 small diamonds. It is un-
derstood that a wealthy woman of
Ell Paso and a young man, a profess
sional palmist, claiming to be from
India, are connected with the case,
or at least know the history of the
gems.

DIED AT
Further Particulars of the Death of
Engineer johnson.

Engineer Johnson.
From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
Last nights Yellowstone Journal
brings further particulars concern
ing the death of Dad Johnson, the
Northern Pacific engineer, of whose
demise mention was made in yester-
days issue of The Gazette.
Instead of dying at Forsyth Mr..
Johnson died at his home at Glendive.
It seems that he did not fall from the
tender of his engine, but was struck
on the head by a lump of coal while
helping his fireman take on coal at
Big Horn. The blow rendered him
unconscious for a short time, but he
recovered and ran his engine to For
syth, where Inconsistencies again
overlook him and he was placed on
the train and taken to Glendive. Here
he became worse suddenly and a dis
patch was sen to Miles City for a
doctor to hold a consultation with the
Glendive physician under whose
treatment Johnson was placed. Be-
fore he could leave, however, the
Miles City doctor received a second
message saying Johnson was dead.

=. S. jackson Resigns as Head of Pc
lice Force.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
With his brass buttons gone and
other insignia of Office missing, E
S. Jackson appeared on the streets
this morning and announced his re.
tirement to private life. He said he
had grown tired of the continual bick-
ering and strife that had become a
marked feature Of the police depart
ment ever since the innovation of a
"police commission" had been tried,
and had rendered his resignation as
chief to the a to whom he owed his
appointment, the mayor.
Mr.. Jackson was emphatic in his
declaration that he had not resigned
because of the events of the last few
days and which eliminated in the. re-
port of the commission last night.
Whatever his enemies might say
against him, he said, they could not
accuse him of being a gutter and
wanted it distinctly understood that
he had not resigned under fire or be-
cause he feared the threatened ex-
of which hints had been CIV
en- recently.

THE STORAGE SYSTEM.
Effectively Applied by Settlers Along
the Little Missouri,

Without any fuss or noise it seems
that away off in the extreme south
eastern part of the state the people
are modestly, but effectively solving
the irrigation problem so far as lies
in their power to supply the wants
created through the n~iggardliness of
nature. A recent visitor to the Lit
tie Missouri region says that the set
tiers are engaged to an extensive de-
gree in the construction of dams for
the conservation of the flood waters.
Advantage is taken of the existence
of numerous gulches and draws in
the building of reservoirs by the sim
pie process of throwing dams across
them and impounding the water re-
sulting from the spring rains and
thaws that was formerly permitted to
run to waste! Already many of these
dams have been constructed and bod
les of water of sufficient size to al
most attain the dignity of lakes have
LSCu CHu al Lll1Cdlly CI0dCGu.
Where tried SO far the experiment
has proved eminently satisfactory
and an abundance of water for irri-
cation and stock has been secured.
AS that part of the state contains
some of the best land that Montana
can boast of, the success of the stor-
age system insures it's speedy settle
ment. Already many people live
there, but heretofore they have d.
rected their principal efforts to the
stock industry, the absence of running
streams making it apparently impos-
sible to supply the water which alone
is needed to make the land produc-
tive of more than the grass native to
it.

SHE DENIES 1T.
Mary SarnIen Files Answer in Suit
for Debt.

" OOOSs
A separate answer has been filed
by Mary Samlen. c~o-defendant in the
suit of Winehill VS.. Samlen and Beri-
ault, an action for debt. In it she de-
MES that she and Beriault now are or
ever were co-partners, as alleged in
the complaint, doing business in this
city or elsewhere. She furthermore
denies that on September ~, 1902, or
at any other time she individually or
as co-partner of Beriault bought goods
from the plaintiff of the value of
S353.75, or any other value, and in ad-
dition also specifically denies every
other allegation contained in the COM
plant. Wherefor she asks that the
court discharge her.
Beriault, or Berry as he was
known here, formerly conducted the
Topic variety theatre and left here
some months ago. He is the son-in-
law of Mrs. Samlen and it is claimed
by her that after his somewhat sud-
den departure she paid a number of
bills left unsettled by. him. 1t was
generally believed that she was inter-
ested with him in the theatrical ven
ture, but judging from her answer
to the suit brought by Winehili such
was not the case.

COUNCIL DECIDES TO HOLD Sc
cRET SESSION..
CHIEF IS IN FOR CENSURE
Report of Police Commission Said to
Be Mainly Directed Against
That Officer.
FROM Fridays Daily Gazette.

FROM Fridays Daily Gazette.
For the second time in the past
year the police commission of the
city, which was created by resolution
OF the city council to regulate affairs
OF thai department of the city govern
ment, has been called upon to report
on the alleged maladministration of
affairs in police circles.
For a week or more past the COM
mission has been %ferreting out what
that body alleges to be a system of
gross irregularities in that DEPART
ment and it is said that the commits
sion at tonight's special meeting will
direct most of it's report against
Chief OF Police Jackson. There will
be other questions brought to the at
tentiOn of the council, but in the main
Jackson will receive the most OF the
censure prepared by the commission.
In view of the fact that some very
interesting proceedings have been
prepared by the commission for the
council, it was reported on the streets
this morning that jackson had hand
ed his resignation to Mayor George.
The latter, however, denies this and
says that officially he knows nothing
about the reported resignation of
Jackson.
The report of the police commission
to the council tonight will be a vol
luminous document. This will be sub
mitted in secret session and after the
report is received and accepted the
council will clear the decks and go in
to open session for final action.
Apparently all members of the u
Gil are anxious to relieve the city of
any odium which may attach to the
city government by reason of the re-
ported irregularities in police circles
and a determination appears to pre-
vail to adopt a system less liable to
the creation of friction and adverse
comment. On the other hand Chief
Jackson is credited with the state
ment that much of the report made
against him has been manufactured
by his enemies in the city.

AFTER THE CREE INDIANS.
Must Return to Canada or Lose Their
Horses. .

Great Falls, Dec. 1S.-C. M. Web
ster of this city, COLLECTOR Of customs
for Montana and Idaho, leaves tomor-
row morning for Havre to look still
further into the Canadian Cree In
dian nuisance there. The Cree camp
in quarantine at that place will not be
broken today as was intended, and
the $50 Indians will be held several
days longer.
Mr.. Webster goes to make arrange
ments for the seizure of the 500 head
Of horses belonging to the Indians,
and unless the Indians at once return
to their homes in Canada upon being
released from quarantine and fitted
out with new outfits by the Choteau
county authorities the horses will be
taken under Mr.. Webster's orders for
customs duties. AS the Indians will
certainly not desire to lose their
horses, and as they have no money,
the question will resolve itself into a
question with them of letting their
stock be confiscated or returning to
where they belong. There is no doubt
but that they will save their horses
and rid Montana of their presence.
Mr.. Webster will investigate the
matter thoroughly and give orders to
his deputy collectors to take steps in
accordance with his final decision and
the camp will probably be broken
some time during the present week.

SORENSON TRAVELS ROAD OF
THE TRANsGREssoR.
NO MERCY is SHOWN HIM
Man Who Sold Mortgaged Property
Given All Allowed by Law
Long Jail Sentence.
Fridays Daily Gazette.

EAOAl II1udy 5 Ddlly IdZ0CCo.
Realizing that further effort in that
direction would be usless, Mrs. Carl
Sorenson sorrowfully gave up the
heoric struggle she had been max.
ing to save her husband from the dis
grace and humiliation of being sen
fenced to prison. She found none
who was willing to become the surety
demanded by the First National bank
to secure it against loss by reason of
the dishonest practice of the father
of the little child she carried in her
arms in her many hopeless journeys
in search OF someone who would be-
friend her. There were many who
were touched by the grief of the de-
voted wife and who would have glad
ly rendered the assistance asked had
it been for her alone, but the risk at
tached to becoming bondsman for a
man who confessedly was not honest
and the desire that the law should be
enforced caused them to deny her
ICdl1ul pCClllOu.
It was not until she had exhausted
the list of friends whom she thought
were in a position to give her help
and had been denied by all that she
finally yielded to the fate she believed
cruel in it's inexorableness and last
evening caused word to be SEM to her
h11Ch0n1 or1 tho oASo0~~ that ~L@
could do no more. Her last recourse
had failed and with it her last hope
was gone. Sorenson, who had con
tinued hopeful that he might escape
punishment, took the announcement
much to heart and for the first time
seemingly realized the seriousness of
his position. 1t was too late to think
of demanding a trial and trusting to
fortune for an acquittal, as he had
already pleaded guilty. His only hope
was in the mercy of the court. If he
had hoped that consideration for his
family might impel the judge to be
lenient he was a sadly disappointed
man.
This morning he was arraigned be-
fore Justice Fraser and nothing be-
ing shown why sentence should not
be imposed at that time the court
pronounced it's judgment, which was
the limit allowed by law-six months
imprisonment in the county Jail and
to nav a fine of S50O
If compelled to serve out the entire
sentence SOrenson would be aprisoner
for considerably over a year, but un-
der a provision of the law he may
avail himself of the right to material
ly reduce this time. At the expiration
OF the first six months he will enter
upon that part of his sentence impos-
ed by the fine, but this he need not
serve in it's entirety. When 80 days
are passed he may take the pauper's
oath and thereby legally secure his
discharge. 1t is not likely, however,
that this will be exacted of him. as
the courts in the past have been gen
erous with such prisoners as he and
have usually assisted in obtaining
their release without the formalitv of
making oath to their inability to pay
their fines.
