DELAYED MATERIAL ARRIVES.
kindergarten Supplies and Ne>
Desks Finally Received.

from Wednesdays Daily Gazette
The public schools of the city have
overcome all the %unevenness Of the
opening weeks and are O down to
business and running smoothly.
Superintendent Brother informs
The Gazette that the long expected
supplies for the kindergarten, without
which the department has been great
,ly hampered in it's work since the
opening of the schools, arrived Mon
day morning and this department is
o fully equipped for the most eff
f1cient work.
Another drawback has been the late
arrival of the desks for the rooms
in the new southside building. A
local firm had the contract for seat
ing the building and ordered the
desks in ample time to get them for
the opening of school. The manu-
facturers were delayed in some man
ner and the desks arrived only a few
days ago and the work of putting
them in was finished this afternoon.
Since the opening of school the pupils
attending at the new building have
been compelled to sit on seats i'm
provised from planKs. Consequently
their work has not been as good as if
they had been comfortably provided
for. Everything is in good shape
now, however, ana the schools will
no doubt make a fine record the COM
ing year. -

WAITING FOR PROPER time

New York, Sept. 22.-Dr. Thomas
Dedrick Of Washington, N. j., who
had a disagreement with Peary, the
Arctic explorer and left the latter's
expedition August II, 1901, has arriy.

four years in the far north.
Concerning the criticisms Of his &C.
tions in the Arctic regions, he was
inclined to the be r%eticent.
Il will not discuss in any way, any
misunderstanding that may have
had with Lieutenant 'Peary, and that
may or may not have been the cause
of my leaving the ship"
What about the intimation that the
reason that you left the party was be-
cause you were not exactly in a sound

/Donovan-McCo rmick company's de-

this morning just to keep up their rep
utation Of making a dash once a
week.
The driver, Roy Wilkinson, stopped
in the alley back of Chapman's store
for the purpose of unloading a bale
OF hay. Just as he jumped out of
the wagon and threw out the weight
attached to n of the horses bits,
the team started. Wilkinson sue
ceeded in catching them by the bits
and was dragged nearly a half block,
the team running like mad. At the
end of the alley they struck a tele-
phone pole, throwing Wilkinson to
the ground and cutting a severe cash
in one of his legs and bruising his
face The horses broke loose from
the wagon and ran north on Twenty
sixth street, stopping at MI. Wilkin-
sons house.
The wagon tongue was broken and

Burlington Man Found Many Cattle
in Montana

L
George w. Vallery, general agent Of
the Burlington, who returned Sunday
from a hunting trip to Montana, says
the Denver Times, declares there are
enough cattle in that state to keep
the railroads busy hauling freight
cars for years to come.
Zone man has more than 5000
cattle. There are outfits that have
more than 100000 head, and COM
binations where the cattle run into
the hundreds Of thousands" said Mr..
Vallery. These cattle range from
away up in the British possessions
down through Montana to the Mis-
souri, river and nearly to Billings.
There is n man who has a lease
of 165, 900 acres from the Grow In
dians. The natural increase means
that there will be shipments out of
that country for the roads for years
to come. One man alone shipped

DISTANCE CONCERT.
9ait Lake and Helena Musicians En-
terrain BILLINGS Audience.

KSait Lake and Helena Musicians En-
( terrain Billings Audience.
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
A number Of Billings patrons Of
the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
company were given an opportunity
last night, by Superintendent Sprague,
to listen to a rare concert.
The line was connected through to
Salt Lake by the way Of Helena and
there was an audience at every sta
ton along tha 600 miles OF wire. A
French horn soloist at Salt Lake rem
dered a number of fine selections to
a piano accompaniment played at Hell
ena. sounding boards and receivers
being in place over both instruments.
The soloists gave his widely scatter
ed audience Home, Sweet Home
for an opening number, and followed
with How Can l Sigh to Rest Me-
"The Palms." "'The Heart Bowed
Down." from Bohemian Girl, and other
beautiful and familiar pieces. He
was followed by several piano selec-
lions by the Helena musician.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
solist and accompanist were separat-
ed by about 400 miles, the accompani-
ments were played artistically and
in perfect time with the lead instru-
ment, and except at intervals the
music could be heard as plainly as
if it had been rendered in an adjcin-
ing room. After every selection there
could be heard female voices along
the line exclaiming. ooh, isn't that
sweet" Isn't that perfectly lovely"
ETC., in which complimentary criti-
cism the male listeners wholly coin
cided.
1t was the first attempt on the west
ern lines to place a soloist and ac-
companist SO far apart and the test
proved to be a perfect success and
was highly enjoyed by all who were
fortunate enough to hear it. At some
future time Mr.. Sprague promises
to give his patrons a public hearing
of this kind of a long distance con-
cert.

YOUNG NOT KNOWN TO LOCAL
AUTHORITIES.
SOMEBODY HAD A DREAM
Report That Alleged Mormon MUIR
derer Committed Offense Here
Without Foundation.

1t may have been because of the
fact that Tracy one time lived and
operated here in a small way in his
peculiar line that the idea suggested
itself to some enterprising newsgath.
erer over at Butte that Hooper Young,
the Mormon accused Of the murder of
Mrs. Pulitzer, whose sensational tax
ing off the police of New York lay at
his door and say he murdered her in
fulhllment of the doctrine of ''blood
atOnement," was also at one time
registered as n of the residents of
Billings. Furthermore it was alleged
that he had succeeded in doing some
thing awful here, just what the nature
Of his alleged offense in this city was
could not be learned, but it was said
to be something in keeping with the
criminal instinct he appears to have
suddenly developed. At all events
queries were received here concerning
the fellow and his supposed opera
lions.
Inquiries of the present occupants
OF the sheriff's office and also of Cap
tain Bond and others who at one time
were connected with the police depart
ment of the city and sheriff's office
failed to result in anything. All de-
clared that they had never heard Of
him and if he was ever here had done
nothing, SO far as they knew, that
would have resulted in bringing them
into contact with him or cause them
to make search for him. But he has
been in Montana, twice. On both oc-
casions he stopped at Butte and also,
was about Helena for sometime. He
was a book agent and took orders for
enlarging photographs as a side line.
He was not given to the practice of
anything more criminal in it's nature
than to get on an occasional drunk
and was also suspected of being a
HOP fiend." While this seems to
have been in error the finding Of a
bottle of choral in his room when the
New York police searched it shows
that he was a user of opiates in one
form at least.
Once while at Butte, the last time,
he was arrested for being intoxicated,
but was not prosecuted, as he was not
badly overcome and able to leave the
station and walk to his room. He
was considered somewhat fast" but
v committed any overt acts, SO
far as the authorities OF that city
can learn. Last year he left Butte and
the state and went east, going to New
York, where he has been ever since,
not being able to make a success of
he ~canvassing business.
The report that he is a grandson
OF the late Brigham Young is correct.
His father, John w. Young, is we'll
remembered in the western part Of
the state as the man who built the
Utah Northern railroad from Ogden to
Butte. He was one of the sons of the
famous Mormon leader and at one
time was mi of the apostles of the
church.
While in Montana Hooper, Young
did not profess to be a believer in the
Mormon faith, although inclined to be
proud of his connection with old
Brigham.
