From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
Billings met defeat at the hand
of Miles City yesterday afternoon
The home team went into the gam,
badly crippled, Dwyer and Kelly hav
ing served notice on the management
q short time before the game wa.
called that they would not play. This
necessitated calling in one player,
Hddy, who had not been in the game
before this season. Eddy proved tc
be q winner, however, and played his
position in firstclass style.
The old men of the team were shift.
ed around considerably, Boylan going
to first and McHale to second, and
they were unable to get used to the
change in n game, consequently
there was not the concerted team
work that usually marks the game
played by the Billings boys. Don
nelly pitched for the home men and
did fine work and but for two or three
costly errors on the part Of his sup.
port there would have been an alto
gether different outcome. Smalley,
usually a sure man in the field, drop
ped n or two nice flies and there
were other error that were costly.
Eddy, the new man in right field
caught two long running flies and sav-
the day twice as Miles City had the
bases full both times and there were
two men out. Not withstanding the
handicap that Billings labored under
it was a good game and thoroughly
enjoyed by the small crowd of fans
who witnessed it.
The probabilities are that yester-
days was the last game of the sea-
son, although the nine may be re-
organized and a few more games

did. In the minds Of the officers whl
made the arrests this was proof o.
Smudley's completely in the affair
they believing that he had purpose
ly deprived Reneau Of his weapon
SO that he might not be able to defend
himself when the assault was made
Whether this theory is correct cannot
be said, as nothing was brought in
yesterdays trial to substantiate it.
Pleaded Not Guilty.
James Mccoy, a youthful hobo with
auburn hair, was arraigned this morn
ing to plead to an information charg-
ing him with assault in the first de-
gree. A plea Of not guilty was en-
tered.
Mccoy is one of a lot Of men who
were elected from a Northern Pacific
freight train at one of the stations in
the western part of the county, last
summer. Resistance was made by
them and a number Of shots are said
to have been fired. Mccoy is accused
Of having been n of the shooters
and Of having attempted to kill A. ].
Rawley, one of the trainment. The
alleged offense was committed May
20 and Mccoy has been in Jail ever
since, having been unable to give
bonds.
A Successful RAeie+anr.

the defendant for an order of court
requiring the plaintiff to allow the de-
PENDANT alimony, pendente lite, suit

ance was made by the plaintiff on the

The court considered the objection
we'll taken and sustained it. Fur
her time was allowed defendant to
lie the motion as required.
No cases being prepared for trial.
Judge Loud excused the jurors this |
until tomorrow morning at

He continues Eighty mills have been &C.

Mr.. Fries hiss succeeded In keeping secret
the name and location Of the mills that
are to so into the merger. but Charlotte
millman who is believed to have placed i'm.

says that at the Charlotte meeting the list
will undoubtedly be completed and the mer.
ger finally closed, when the list OF mills
will be made public. II Is known however.
that Mr., Fries has taken into his merger
only such mills as have been running on
paying basis, and that included In his list
are several OF the largest and hnest mill
properties in the state
properties to select from, aud at the IA.
leigh meeting eighty mills, representing
10000 splndles, were selected. There are
other mill properties offered which see
Fries people want to secure. but the vaIua.

TO suit the merger committee The owners
OF these mills have been given chance 10
revise their figures, Should they submit
reduced hgures TO the Charlotte meeting.

This will probably be done, as II is said
now that these mills are about as anxious
to get into the merger as the Fries people
are TO have them come in. Unless reduced
figures are submitted on these properties
the merger will be closed as II now stands
WITH eighty mills, Millmen here who were
