"The changes are due to systematic

Hearinu Next Saturday.

The defendants were arraigned be-
fore Judge Fraser last Saturday even
ing. AS the county attorney vas alb
sent from the city the court fixed this
morning as the time for the prelimi-
nary examination. AT the hour set
q continuance was granted until 2
o'clock this afternoon. Because OF the
absence of witnesses and the short
time that the attorney for the defen-
dants had to prepare for the case,
by consent a second continuance was
granted, this time until next Satur-
day afternoon at 2 O'Clock. Bond
was fixed at $1,000 for each defendant.
Reports received from the injured
mar are to the effect that his case
is not considered as very alarming,
unless unforeseen complications should
intervene, such as blood poisoning or
the formation OF an internal abscess.

Red Lodge Ball Players Anything But
~ Phenoms.
notwithstanding their promise to do
Various kinds of things to them when
they got them onto their OWE grounds,
the Red Lodge ball players made a
very poor showing against the Bill
ings twirlers in last Sundays game.
Only for a few errors in the last two
innings it would have been a shutout,
as the coal aiggers had been unable
to score until then. Billings had a
new man, Corcoran, in the pitchers
box and he proved to be a hard n
for the men IRON Red Lodge. While
they could hit him, at times, it was
only for pop-ups and the basemen
took care OF the ball, which rarely got
beyond the diamond.
A feature of the game particularly
worthy OF mention was the umpiring
of Donohue. He not only displayed
full knowledge of the game and COM
plete familiarity with the rules, but
was absolutely honest and impartial
in his decisions.

summer. Interpreters.

Deep in the fragrant woods l heard
The summer sing to me.
And all the groves green heart was
stirred
With haunting melody.
So near she seemed / almost thought
To see her face and press
The lyric lips whose singing brought
The hour such happiness.
With joy the branches lightly shook
Their leaves to hear her voice:
Her MUSIC echoed in the brook
And mad the grass rejoice.
It thrilled the golden air around:
It's rapture moved the bees,
Who's hum is heat turned into sound
High in their honey trees.
But not until there fell a hush
Did ! the secret know:
Twas her interpreter. the thrush,
That sang for summer so.
Across the world a liquid note
Most exquisite n clear.
All summer In the thrush's throat,
The sweetness of the year!

SAD RESULTS FOLLOW INNovA-
TON AT COUNTRY DANCE.
DREW LINE ON Two-STEp
Because Something Beside Just Plain
QuadrilIes Was Asked Serious
Fight Ensued.

CFllglng n complying with the re-
quest OF those who Desired to be a lit
tie more modern in their dancing,
Glade Leonard, a young man who re-
sIles with his parents Oh a ranch near
laurel, is suffering from a serious
knife wound, inflicted, it is claimed,
by Will Morris.
The ARRAY occurred last Friday
night on what is known as the ''Old
Billings ranch, eight or nine miles
west of the city. A dance was in
progress in the granary of the ranch
and was participated in by a large
number. As is the custom, only square
Dances were on the programme, as
many of the country people do not
care for any others.
Shortly before supper was served,
at midnight, some requested that a
two-step be played. To this PROPOSE
ton Morris, it is said, objected, de-
claring that no change should be made
IN the order Of dancing. After supper
the musicians were again asked to
play the Objectionable dance and again
Morris interfered, so it is claimed.
Not wishing any trouble and possibly
being afraid of Morris and several
of his friends who seemed to be
backing him, the musicians declined
to comply and Leonard was asked to
play the air on a mouth harp he had.
This he proceeded to do, when he
was approached by Morris, it is al
legged, and ordered to desist. Instead
of doing so Leonard continued to play
3nG backed away from Morris and his
companions, who had begun to crowd
about the two.
After Leonard had backed away,
playing all the time, for some dis
lance, it is said, Morris closed in on
him and a fight between the two be-
gan. Others interfered in an effort
to stop the roy and soon the ruction
became general. Chairs, fists and ev-
cry other weapon that was handy
was brought into play and in the
melee over a dozen took part. The
claim is made that ven some OF the
women became mixed up in the braWl
and proved themselves not much less
inferior as "Scrappers" to their male
friends. Faces were bruised, eyes
BACKED and ears almost torn off and
scarcely one of the participants in the
fight escaped without some mark OF
combat to show participation.
: Finally the fighting ceased, as did
also the dancing, and Leonard was
found to have received the worst OF
matters, he having sustained a knife
wound in the back that penetrated the
left lung.
Parties fastened to the city to sum
mon a physician, while others wen
before Judge Fraser, who issued war
rants Saturday morning for the ares
of Morris and two companions named
Russell Sage and Ira Shearer. Sheriff
Hubbard went out and arrested thu
three men. They were arraigned ant
their hearing fixed for today. Not be
ing able to give bonds they were re
manded.

"FOXY" INDIANS.
Secure Free Hotel Accommo-

Two Indians were arrested Friday
upon a t~elegraphed description from
Lovelock. 1t appears that they had
been working on a ranch in that vicin
ity and upon quitting were paid by n
of the partners. Later they met the
other owner and demanded and re-
ceived their pay. The "foxy" red
skins then set out for Wadsworth.
Upon being arrested here each was
found TO be carrying a revolver. Fifty
dollars were found on their person and
upon the refunding Of the proper sum
to the buncoed Lovelockers the charge
there was dismissed. However they
will neither pitch hay, hunt nor fish for
a period Of forty days as Judge Bridges
sent them to Reno where they will re-
main that length Of time as the guests
Of Sheriff Hayes, for carry ing concealed
weapons.
They will miss the big pow-wow to
be held here soon and will not be on
hand when the rest of their tribe leaves

RAILROAD
EXTENSI ON
Is in An Probability to Be Constructed
by Baltimore & Ohio Railroad IN
This Section.

There is an indication that the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad intends to make
an important extension in this section
OF the country. The switch track TO the
CIarksburg Industrial company's prop
crty is said to be the beginning of the
proposed extension, but in what direction
it win extend from that company's prop
erty is not definitely known. 1t is SUR
missed that the railroad company intends
to build line in that direction to Graf
ton, which will open up an immense
tract of fine coal territory which the
company owns in that region. Rights of
way have been secured within the past
few days through some of the farms in
that section. The movement viii be
watched with interest, as it is believed
to be important.
A gentlemen who has been in very
close touch with the railroad officials and
familiar with IT'S policies and plans,
states that there is no question about
the plan to build this extension, and
that one reason for it is to avoid the
heavy grade on the present line from
here to Grafton. 1t rs to be inferred
from that that all heavy trains will
come over the new route upon its compile
