Has Narrow Escape.

Red Lodge, April 2O.-When Bird
Brown, a well-known sheepherder, re-
fused a drink of whisky and swallow
ed half a glass OF formaldehyde, in
the belief that he was imbibing a soft
drink, he came as nea deaths door
as he could and live to tell about it.
!, II seems that several men with him
were drinking and offered him whisky
from a flask. Then they showed him
a bottle of formaldehyde which he
thought was pop, and took a big swai
low of it. His stomach refused to en-
terrain it, which refusal nls
life. Though suffering from a severe
~ burned throat and stomach, he will
recover.

NORMAL GIRLS IN COURT.
Trouble About New Caps and Gowns
the Cause.

Dillon, April 20.-Eight pretty nor
NAL girls enjoyed their first expert
ence in a justice court yesterday, and
the gowns and caps recently purchas-
ed by the senior class were h aus
of all the trouble. For some days,
ever since the new garments were
bought, there has been a keen rivalry
among the different classes for the
possession OF the same. During the
past week the caps and gowns have
changed owners at least half a dozen
times. one class stealing them from
the other. Friday some OF the juniors
got soundly spanked by the irate
seniors in a feminine row over the
sQmber garments, according to a story
told today. The climax came yester'
day, when the juniors conceived the
idea of stealing the caps and gowns
and having their pictures taken in the
borrowed costumes. They had scarce
ly left the dormitory when their plans
became known to the seniors, and a
warrant was secured charging them
with filching the garments.
The warrant vas placed in the
hands of Sheriff Gist, and he rounded
up the bunch at the photograph gal
lery and took me young ladies' before
Justice Vermillion. Reporters were
excluded during the trial, but it was
afterward learned that the judge gave
the girls a little fatherly advice, and
at the conclusion of the lecture he told
them that the fun ought to be worth
at least $3.50 to each of them.
my g~racious!" exclaimed the mos
talkative of the young ladies. "Have
we got to pay that right away? Inere
is not more than 2h cents in the en-
tire bunch of u.s." But they did no
have to pay, the judge s~uspendlns
sentence during good behavior.
