WAS THEIR FouRTEENTH.
Annual Roundup Of the Maverick
Hose Company.

Hose Company.
(6p~Sunday,s Daily Gazette.
Frobably because of its delightful
informality the fourteenth annual
roundup Of the Maverick Hose com.
pany, last night, was one of the most
pleasant and successful OF all. The
Hon. George M. Hayes presided as
toast-master and his occupancy Of the
chair was, as always, characterized
by the happy flow Of wit and the
felicitous manner Of announcing the
sentiments and introducing those call
ed upon to- respond. Judge Milburn
Tor the time forgot and laid aside the
dignity that clothes 4 one occupying
the exalted position OF associate JUS
tice OF the states chiefest tribunal
and not only occupied a prominent
seat by the side OF the president, but
also was an active participant in all
that took place. The other guests Of
honor were the mayor and the mem
bers of the city council.
The spread was in keeping with the
established reputation Of the Maver-
icks as hospitable and generous en-
tertainers and nothing that fancy
could desire OF appetite crave at an
occasion Of that kind was overlooked.
Nothing was lacking. No more could
be said.
In place Of the usual set speeches
and responses, all the oratory was
.impromtu, although Judge Matheson
came 1t rather low down on the
other speakers by pulling from his
inside pocket a carefully prepared
manuscript and reading his little
piece. AS the victims of his deceit
evened up things later in the evening,
they all forgave him for his treason.
City Attorney Johnston made the
address ct welcome. after which the
programme was as follows:
'The City Of Billings" Hon. W.. B.
George; Easter Lillies," Judge Mil
burn; absent Members" Hon F. H.
Foster; "Good citizenship" Judge
Matheson; Solo, Harry Allen; 'The
Ladies'" Will Mccormick; 1T Cuts
No Ice With Me-" Alderman Berky;
Solo, J. A. Gilluly; The Maverick
Hose Company" Chief Bond; "The
Grow Reservation" Alderman White;
Solo, w. Lee Mains; Trombone solo,
Will Schneider.
But it must not be supposed that
this concluded the roundup, for it
didn't. Other features were added
that caused it to continue for some
lime, considerable time, in fact. after
ward.

WOULD IMPOSE NEW RULES ON
THE GROWERS.
FEW THINGS THEY WANT
Ask Separation Of FIeeces and Also
Give instructions in Other
Regards.
Sundays Daily Gazette.

HAom 0uAudy . Ddlly GaZeIto.
Copies Of a circular letter issued
by the Boston wool buying firms rep
resented on the local market last sea-
son have been received which would
indicate a desire on the part Of those
firms to impose a few extra conditions
upon theg growers in the way Of sorting
and grading their product. The let
ter bears the names OF II firms and
receipt of it has caused not a little
comment among those to whom
copies 'of 1t have been addressed. Some
OF the requirements apparently insist
ed upon by the buyers are regarded
by growers as a trife far fetched and
1t is doubtful whether compliance will
be made in every particular.
The letter Is as follows:
In opening the woods at Boston this
winter, bought at Billings in the sum.
mer Of 1901, we found a much larger
quantity Of tags and corral refuse, in
many clips, than the owners OF these
clips declared when they listed their
woods for sale.
I'VE wish to call it to the attention
OF the wool growers that they must be
particularly careful to keep the tags
out Of the bags in which the straight
ieeces are packed. They should in
sist at the shearing corrals that the
tags be packed separately, and should
insist that no tags be packed in the
bags with the good wool, as hereafter
tags found in the bags with feeces
will be considered ground for increas-
ing very largely the allowance for
tags in those clips.
1T fs also strongly urged on the
growers that they pack the eve, buck,
wether and yearling fleeces separately
and brand the bags with some dis
tinguishing mark, keeping a record Of
The number Of bags Of eve, buck, weth-
err and yearling wool.
Growers are especially cautioned
against tying the leeces with sisal
Irvine. It should not be used under
any circumstances. as 1t makes the
wool practically unstable.
Attention to these details, and
care used in putting up woods for
market will largely increase the selling
value of their clips to the growers"
While those who were heard to ex-
press themselves on the subject were
agreed that the use Of sisal Irvine was
not the best thing for either the grow
Ell O the buyer, they thought that
some. of the other exactions asked by
the buyers were a little far fetched
and gave 1t as their opinion that but
few IL any compliances would follow
the request. To separate and brand
the different fleeces as asked by the
buyers would probably be a consid-
cradle convenience to those gentle
men. the growers admitted, but at
the same time they expressed them
selves as having some choice in the
matter and intimated that they would
probably do as they have been doing
and let the sorting be done at the
wool warehouses in the east, where
men get Daid for that special purpose.

LAND LITIGATION.
Court Confirms Title to Purchasers
Of Railroad Grant.

st. Paul, April 4.-The supreme
court today handed down a decision
upholding the title of those who pur-
chased Manitoba railroad grant lands
from Archbishop Ireland. The case
has been in the courts for many years.
Withdrawal Of the lands from settle
ment and subsequent failure of the
railroad to perfect title having led to
confusion in the matter. The court
holds that the rights pf those holding
title from the railroad and Bishop
Ireland r superior to the rights of
homesteaders who contested their
titles.

Billings Gives Navy Recruit With
Twelve Toes. *

A =E 49,
While Billings may eve attain the
distinction afforded by any Of the
local contingent who are enlisting In
the naval branch OF the government
being promoted to the rank Of admiral
or even that Of captain, It already has
a distinction, according to Dr.. Page,
the examining surgeon OF Lieutenant
Morton's detachment, enjoyed by no
other place In the country.
The only man or boy In the entire
navy to whom nature vas 80 generous
as to endow him with six we'll formed
toes on each foot, held up his right
hand In this city yesterday and took
the oath that made him a landsman
training. His name Is John Krutzburg,
and he is a native Of Nebraska. I'm
til recently he has been In the en-
ploy Of the Burlington company as a
laborer, but he tired of the work Of
tamping ties and wheeling dirt and
concluded to become a sailorman.
Krutzburg gave his age as % years
and aside from the freak Of nature al
ready alluded to Is a perfect speci.
men Of vigorous and healthy young
manhood. The extra toe does not in
convenience him In the least and is no
interference to ~locomotion, being well
formed and regular as any toe could
be, considering the modern styles Of
footwear. AS nothing could be found
in the regulation barring a six.toed
man, the doctor passed him and Lieu
tenant Morton swore Krutzburg into
the service.
The others enlisted were, Charles
Corpue, colored, coal passer; Jonas
Van Wagner, coal passer; Henry
Ricknich, landsman training; Thomas
Francis Morris, coal passer and
Charles Everett Plat, landsman train
ing. Morris was not q citizen and
took out his first papers Immediately
before enlisting.
This is the last day that the re-
cruiting party will remain in the city,
as the office will close this evening
and both officers and enlisted men
will leave tomorrow morning for
Butte. The recruits taken on here
will be permitted to remain a few
days longer and will then join the
party at Butte, or possibly proceed
straight through to Vallejo. where the
training ship to which they will be as
signed is in harbor at Mare Island
navy yards.

GOT TANGLED UP WITH MOVING
FREIGHT TRAIN.
RESULTS NOT VERY SERIOUS
Slight smashup Varies Monotony in

rom Saturdays Daily Gazette.

I Two flatcars, loaded with rock, tilt
ed on their sides and partly resting on
a locomotive, al engine partially de-
rallied, and somewhat damaged, were
some Of the results that followed a
collision In the local yards Of the
Northern Pacific early yesterday
morning. While in the opinion OF
some the engineer Of the locomotive
that Jared SO badly was responsible
for the accident, others believe 1t to
have been one Of those unavoidable
misfortunes that occasionally happen
in the best regulated Of institutions.
About / o'clock engine sol, running

point about midway Of the yards Mag.

SO that he could run onto a sidetrack.
The night was exceptionally dark and
the fireman, who had just before talk
en- This face out Of the flrebox," as
he subsequently described 1t, failed to
observe a slowly moving freight train,
also headed east, pull onto the main
track from @ siding almost opposite
the engine. The engineer was on the
opposite side and also did not lei
the freight. Before either was aware
Of what was coming the locomotive
and two flatcars Of the train came
together, the first car engaging the
cross tree of the pilot and pulling the
engine along as 1t went. AS the train
appears to have been running faster
than the engine the first car ran its
full length, when the second came
along and took a whirl at the obtrud-
ing nose of the locomotive before eth
err the train or engine could be stop
ped.
After the two came to a %standstill
1t was found that the locomotive and
cars had become SO badly entangled
that 1t was impossible to separate
them and the cars were detached and
the train proceeded on its way. When
the full extent of the wreck had been
ascertained a message was sent to
Livingston and the wrecking crane
was sent down, arriving yesterday at
ternoon, Several hours and much
hard work were required before mat.
tiers could be Strengthened out once
more and the blocked switch and
tracks cleared Of the wreckage.
It was found that the cars had been
damaged but little, while the engine
had to be sent to the shops to have a
new top fitted to the steam chest and
a new jacket put on one of It's cylin-
ders, which had become punctured and
torn. In addition n Of the siderods
was also bent a little and the running
board broken.
The front trucks Of the locomotive
and the real drivers had been forced
from the rails, which at the place OF
the collision were badly torn and turn
ed over.
Nobody was injured and the loss to
the railroad company is small.
