NO LONGER "wIDE OPEN"
Ian Gambling Suddenly Closed at
/ ~ Miles City.

miles City is no longer the wide
open town it was up to within few
days ago and the hum of the roulette
wheel and the rattle OF dice on the
crap tables are heard there no more.
The serious-faced gentlemen who
have been presiding over the little
nickel-plated boxes from which they
drew cards in response to the guesses
made by the excited feverish men in
front of them find themselves with
out an occupation and the hangers
on, the members of the "shoestring'
fraternity, are explaining how the
play came up"
AS near as can be learned the sud-
den upheaval was not the result OF
any wave of morality that swept over
the bustling little town or the out
come of any well defined and sud
denly executed plan on the part OF
moralists to give the atmosphere a
more wholesome and cleaner tinge. 1t
was brought about, to use the YER
nacular, through "squeal." A cou
pie of men, brothers, were silly enough
to think that they could call with
unerring exactitude the order in which
certain cards would turn up, or with
equal precision designate the hole in
which the frisky little sphere would
rest when the wheel ceased buzzing
and attained a position of absolute
rest OF course, they missed in both
instances, and with their failure as
guessers went something in the way
of $1,000 in cash.
Whether the loss they sustained
was caused by resorting to trickery
! and dishonesty ON the part of those
against whose devices they backed
their judgment or whether it was the
natural result of chance is not known
but it is known that the order wa:
given by the city authorities tina
gambling must cease. In consequence
every game is shut up tight and ;
gentleman who arrived from there yes
terday said that a regular exodus o
gamblers was in progress, as it wa
believed that the order would remail
in force for a long time

MONTANA PAPER MILL.
Plant Now Running and Turning Out
Finished Product.

Manhattan, July Manhattan S
dream OF an extensive paper mill has
at last come to a reality and the plant
is nearing completion, save a few
pieces of machinery which are on the
way from the east. Henry Altebrand,
president of the company, has reorgan-
lied the same. James Moran is vice
president and general manager and
e. W. King of Lewistown secretary
treasurer.
The building is fine stone struc-
ture, 80 by $50 feet, two stories high,
with iron supports, which make it
substantial for the use OF heavy ma
chinery, which is necessary in the
manufacture of paper The power is
steam, furnished by two immense en-
gines of 100 and $50 horse power.
The company will manufacture
what is known as express paper-a
water finish, light building board and
paper sacks, which is made principal
ly from barley and cat straw. Later
on they will utilize waste paper and
old rags supplied from Helena, Butte
and other towns.
The straw is run through hopper,
ground into small particles, then ele-
waited into a blower and carried up
into an iron rotary globe room IA feet
in diameter, treated by process OF
limewater and reduced to pulp.
Then it is transferred into large vats,
where it is lastly treated and prepared
for the large rollers, or the "a 3-inch
cylinder machine, which completes
the process.
The mill is already turning out tons
of straw pulp. This is the first paper
mill venture in Montana and promises
to be great success, as the manager
has been connected with the D. w
Boyes paper plant at Marseilles, Ill
BY August the plant will employ
40 men. The daily output will be
II tons of paper.
The company is arranging to buil6
20 houses for it's employees.

ELIGIBLE TO FOURTH CLASS
With Railroad Valuations Left as at Present yell
lowstone Possess Requisite Qualifications
for Higher Rating

Unless the state board of equaliza.
tion sees fit to make a reduction in
the assessments of the different rail
roads from the figures it fixed last
year, and more particularly in the
case of the Northern Pacific and Bur-
lington roads, Yellowstone will soon
be a county of the fourth class, one
class higher than it now is. At least
that is the story told by the assess
or's roll, work on which is now COM
pleted.
Last year the county made such
showing on the right side that it
was advanced from sixth to fifth class.
This year the increase is still main
tanned and, assuming that there will
be no decrease in railroad assess
rients, something safe to assume, af-
ter the next meeting of the board
Yellowstone will stand another notch
nearer the head, with only three
| numbers between it's standing then
and that of county of the first class.
Adding to the total of the county
assessment, $685., ,45S, the railroad as
sessment of $1,795,396 for 1902, the
| tax roll of the county for 1908 will
| show total OF all taxable property
of $8,150,854 For 1902 the total was
STATS, 1888, an increase of $674,966 for
the present year.
The following condensed table ta-
ken from the assessment roll shows
the value of the different kinds. of
property in the county, as we'll as the
number of animals and their value,
together with the grand total and
| the increase:

FOR ANOTHER
Z. j. DUNNIGAN VICTIM OF Sc.
RIoUs ASSAULT.
BADLY BEATEN AND KICKED
George Thurmond, Former Member Of
Police Force, Under Arrest
as AssaiIant.

Jealousy and mistaken identity have
got George Thurmond. former men,
ber of the police force into trouble
with the law, besides causing much
mental and physical suffering to
couple of victims of his blind fury,
Mr.. and Mrs. 7. J. Dunnigan, both
of whom he assaulted late Saturday
night. The husband bears a number
OF bruises and contusions about his
head and face in testimony OF Thur
mond's ability to use his fists, while
Mrs. Dunnigan was said yesterday to
be in fully as bad condition.
AS told by different persons claim
ing to be familiar with the facts,
Thurmond has been suspicious OF his
wife for some time past and Saturday
night concluded to watch and prove
the correctness of his suspicious. To
do so he posted himself in the alley

Mann, who lives in First avenue,
north, and the corner of Thirty-tirst
street, and waited, apparently having
reason to believe his wife would pass
, that way. Unfortunately for them
Mr.. and Mrs. Dunnigan, who make
their home with the judge, came along
and in the darkness Thurmond, mis-
taking them for his wife and some
one else, pounced upon them and be,
| fore they could say word or defend
themselves in any wise, Thurmond,
| it is alleged, had knocked both down
and then gave Mr.. Dunnigan an awful
beating and kicking. Finally Thur
mond realized his mistake and ceased,
but by that time Mr.. Dunnigan had his
face badly disfigured and one of his
eyes almost closed.
Thurmond lost no time in getting
away, but was recognized and as soon

SHEEP FROM WASHINGTON.
Large Shipments to Be Made to Idaho
and Mnn+ana
and Montana.

Shipments of Washington sheep to
the ranges of Idaho and Montana have
commenced and are likely to be fol-
lowed by still larger shipments, says
a Tacoma dispatch Washington
ranges are becoming more restricted
every year, first, by forest reserva-
tions, and second, by rapid settlement
OF the lands heretofore used for cat
tie grazing. Range area has become
so restricted that many sheep owners
are selling off their herds entirely.
Chicago buyers last week bought 20
carloads of lambs at Cleallum, paying
$3.50 per head for 5000. Yesterday
train load of lambs was shipped to
Chicago from North Yakima Charles
McAllister is shipping three carloads
of blooded bucks from Wenatchee to
Montana, for sale to sheepmen of that
state These form the commencement
of what sheepmen say will be large
shipments to states further east, as
forest reserves will support only half
of the number OF sheep for which
entry has been requested. 1t is GER
tain that when the fall roundup comes
large portion of the tiocks will be
poor and thin, emphasizing the fact
that sheepraisin in this STATE has seen
it's best days. Reserve sheep will be
in the best condition because fewer
are allowed there to Craze.

RECEIVER IN CHARGE.
Steps Toward Winding Up Ship Build
inn r rIlsf

ing rust.
New York, July 13.-A long con-
ference between Receiver Smith and
counsel was held at the offices of the
United States Shipbuilding company
today. The conference, the receiver
said, was one of many which have
been held lately in regard to the legal
phases of the receivership. He said
that he had signed an order terminal
ing the leases of the subsidiary ship
building company, he said, the proper
ties of the subsidiary shipbuilding
companies were acquired and then
leased back to the subsidiary COM
panies for one year, with the proviso
by which they may be terminated at
a five days notice by the parent COM
pany. The properties were leased up
on a rental to consist of the earnings
of the plants.
In order to get in control OF the
properties, the receiver had termi-
mated these leases. The order, the
receiver stated. did not include the
Bethlehem steel plant.
THE Bethlehem Steel company
does not stand on a par with the other
subsidiary companies?" was asked OF
the receiver.
"Well, we do not know yet," the
receiver replied. Even the lawyers
seem in doubt about that

ELEVEN LOST ON
SINKING STEAMER
The J. b. Hackley Capsized en- Lake
Michigan During Squa-,
SEVEN ON BOARD WERE SAVED

Marinette, Wis. Oct 5.-During a
squall on Lake Michigan the steamer
J. H. Hackley capsizcd and II persons
were drowned. The Goodrich line
steamer Sheybogan rescued the other
seven persons on board the Hackley
after they had drifted all night in
Green Bay, cinging to BITS Of wreck
age and brought them TO Fish Creek.
The Hackley was struck by the
squall when off Green Island seven
miles from this port. The upper work
of the vessel was blown away and the
boat then turned over and went down
in deep water
The drowned are: George Leclair,
Joseph V. Orus, the captain of the
Hackley; Edna Barringer, Lawrence
Barringer, Henry Rabitoy, Carl
Kelky, Miss Francis Vincent, Miss
Vincent's sister, Freeman Thorp, Nels
Nelson and Frank Fitzgibbons.
The waves were rolling high and sew
eral of those who at first saved them
selves from immediate danger lost
strength and sank. 1t was not until
early in the morning that the steamer
Shebogan sighted the helpless sur.
vivors and effected their rescue.
The officers of the Shebogan feel sure
that they took aboard every person
afoat, but some of the persons who
were rescued say that 1t is possible
that one or more of the II persons
missing may have escaped death. This
view is not given much credence by
the sailors Of the Shebogan.
The Shebogan ran into Pish Creek
when hope of rescuing other persons
seemed improbable. The rescued per.
sons were so exhausted from their
struggle against drowning that they
were unable for some time to tell any
thing about the wreck.
The persons saved say that with the
crashing away Of the upper works all
persons aboard the Hackley ran on
deck. AS they made preparations for a
plunge into the water the boat listed
turned over and went down like rock
Search is still being made for any
person who may have escaped death.
