San Francisco, June 10, 1903.

San Francisco, June 10, 1903.
To Chapple Drug Co.
Dear Sirs: AS agent for the Fulton
Compounds in Billings there are some
facts in the Call office in this city
that should interest you and the edi-
tor of The Gazette, as we'll as news
paper men generally. We copy now
from a letter from Clifford House of
the Call:
However improbable may the
statement that Bright's Disease and
Diabetes are now durable in a great
majority of all cases. it is well within
the province of some of us in. the
business department of the Call to
! know that it is true. Mr.. Edward
Short of this department was given
up by his physicians rs a victim Of
Diabetes, and is now perfectly well.
The mother of one of the editorial
staff has also recovered from Dia-
betes. This was SO conclusive that
l told a friend, a Well-to-dO clCZen
of Duluth, Mimi, who had Bright's
Disease, and he too recovered"
We will also add that an ex-supreme
Judge, with offices in the Call building,
is a late recovery. You are authorized
to proclaim to the world that the most
deadly diseases known, viz: Bright's
Disease and Diabetes, yield to the new
diuretics evolved during experiments
made upon himself by John J. Fulton
of this city in his memorable and
Successful struggle against the raw
1 ages of Bright's Disease.
Yours very trply,

A BRIDGE
Fiendish Deed at Livingston Luckily
Proves Unsuccessful.

Fiendish Deed at Livingston Luckily
Proves Unsuccessful.
An unsuccessful attempt to destroy
the Northern Pacific bridge across
the Yellowstone at Livingston was
made last Sunday morning.
At $3.50 o'clock an explosion occur
red that was great enough to wake
every person in the city n a number
of windows in the east side of the
town were shattered by the concus-
sion. Some thought it was an earth
quake. Others inclined to a differ
ent belief, but not until about z
o'clock did the real nature of the dis
turbance become known. A west
bound freight train arrived and report
ed the bridge across the river, about
a mile east of town, to be out of
alignment. Men were sent to make
an investigation and then the
of the explosion was learned.
The workmen discovered that a
CAldA 81 u 6AdAC pOWOOA AA@0 UOOA
placed in the center pier. Some
pieces of fuse were found, which
furnished testimony to the kind of
explosive that had been employed in
the attempted destruction of the
bridge. The pier was badly shatter-
ed and the superstructure disaligned.
Notwithstanding this two trains had
passed over the bridge before report
was made. One was No. g., the east
bound Burlington, which left Living
ston at 4 o'clock, a little over IN hour
after the explosion vas heard.
t is said that whoever placed the
powder was familiar with it's use and
powers of destruction and only the
merest chance prevented the com
plete wrecking of the bridge. Had
the attempt been successful it is very
likely that the passenger train would
have plunged into the river and a
great loss of life and property would
have resulted.
No reason for the deed can be ad-
vanced by the officers of the railroad

company and it is believed that the
poweder was put in the pier by some
tramp who found it and wanted to
create an excitement. This or the
hope of being able to commit robbery
during the confusion incident to the
expected wreck are the only theories
advanced.
A reward of $1,000 has been offered
by the railroad company for the ar
rest of the guilty ones.

ALLEGED SHEEP THIEF STOPS
TWO BULLETS.
WARRANTS OUT FOR OTHERS
Case of Wholesale Stealing Leads to
Serious Results Near
Columbus.

Sheriff Hubbard returned this ORR
ing from Columbus, where he went
yesterday in response to a telephone
message informing him that his ser
vices were needed in connection with
a wholesale sheep stealing case.
When he arrived he found that the
main events had already transpired
and all that was required of him was
to bring back a prisoner and act as
company to Under Sheriff Gebo Of
Carbon county, who had another that
he vas taking to Red Lodge to stand
trial. The prisoner Mr.. Hubbard had
was sentenced to Jail in default of
a $50 fine imposed by the Columbus
justice for carrying concealed wea-
pons. His name is Griffith. The
name of the man taken to Red Lodge
is Smith.
AS told to The Gazette the circum-
stances in connection with the affair
are something as follows: Last week
a band of 927 sheep we're stolen from
L.. J. Wescott and another sheepman
named Mckay. Subsequently the
missing animals were found in a
flock belonging to the man Grimes,
who recently lost a large flock by
poison that had been scattered over
his range. It was said that one Smith,
in the employ of Grimes, had stolen
the sheep and an effort was made
to arrest him. He managed to keep
out of sight until yesterday morning,
when he and "a young fellow named
Griffith rode into Columbus and stop
ped at the rear of a saloon for the
purpose of getting a bottle of whisky.
Both remained on their horses and
when the bartender appeared to wait
on ethem they placed their hands on
revolvers they carried in holsters.
The bartender returned to the saloon
and informed Deputy Sheriff N. w
Holt that the man Smith, for whom he
had been looking, was one of those
on horseback. Mr.. Holt started tG
walk out the real door for the purpose
of arresting the men, but was eau
toned by the bartender not to do so
as the fellows would undoubtedly
shoot him.

The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1903-08-04
Would Not Be Arrested.

Acting on the advice the deputy
sheriff left by the front door and went
to a livery stable nearby and Sc
cured a Winchester rifle. BY this time
the two had ridden off, not waiting
to get the whisky, and MI. Holt call
ed on them to stop. Instead of obey
ing the order, they put spurs to their
horses and soon were out of town.
Not being certain as to the identity
Of Smith, the deputy refrained from
shooting and returned to the saloon
to make further inquiry. The doubt
that existed in his mind was caused
by an exchange of hats by the men,
Griffith wearing Smiths hat and Smith
wearing Grifith's. The bartender de-
scribed Smith so that there could be
no further doubt and MI. Holt hasten
ed back to the stable, where he Sc
cured a horse. w. p. Adams volun-
teered to go along and he also mount
ed a horse and armed himself and the
pursuit began.
Smith Is Wounded.
About three miles from town the
fugitives were overtaken and az soon
as they came within hearing distance
Mr.. Holt again summoned them to
surrender. Instead of complying with
the order they made a move as though
to draw their revolvers. In an instant
Holt and Adams dismounted and took
shelter behind their horses, while the
deputy opened fire with his rifle. He
fired several shots before the fellows
stopped and when they got to them
Holt and Adams found Smith with
a bullet hole in his shoulder and
another in the foot.
The prisoners were taken back to
Columbus and word sent to the sheriff
of this city and Red Lodge of the cap
ture, as the sheep were stolen in Car
bon county. Mr.. Hubbard was the
first to arrive ah1>last night Sheriff
Potter and Under Sheriff Gebo OF
Carbon county reached there.
As it appeared that Griffith was not
implicated in the theft of the sheep,
he was arraigned on the charge OF
carrying concealed weapons and fined
as already stated. Smith was turned
over, to Mr.. Gebo and this morning
was taken to Red Lodge. Sheriff POI
ter remained and went in search OF
Grimes and a man named Woods, hav-
| ing warrants for them on the charge
of assisting Smith in stealing the
! sheep.

Jacobs.
Throughout his six months impris-
onment the accused boosted that he
would not hang and refused to see
callers or discuss the crime with which
he was charged. A few minutes be-
fore the walk TO the scaffold was
begun a change occurred and he re-
ceived a priest ard became penitsnt.
The trap was sprung and 10 minuCes
later Lenousky was pronounced dead.
When the body was taken from the
trap it was found that the rope had
stretched fully two feet and the feet
of the doomed man rested on the
ground. This was followed by a scene
never before witnessed in this county.
Sheriff Jacobs summoned several
deputies to the scaffold and, gripping
the rope, they lifted the body clear of
the ground and held it in this position
for several minutes. The gruesome
sight sent a majority of the spectators
hurrying from the Jail. Physicians,
after the examination, said that mis-
neck had been broken and death was
almost instantaneous. The body was
sent to a medical college in Philadel-
phia.

TRAIN FALLS FROM
HIGH TRESTLE
Nine Killed snd Seven Injured in
Disaster Oh Southern Railway.
VICTIMS HORRIBLY MUrTILATED

Charlotte. n. c., Sept. 2S.-While
running at high rate of speed. train
No. 81, on the Southern railway, the
south-bound fast mail train. jumped
from trestle Is feet high. half mile
north OF Danville, Va, and was almost
demolished. OF the crew of 16 men,
including mail carriers, on the train,
nine were killed and seven injured.
All of the injured men are seri-
ously hurt and have been taken TO the
hospital in Danville. The recovery Of
Mail Clerk Spiers is not expected, and
other clerks are thought to have re-
ceived mortal injuries.
The trestle where the accident oc-
Cured is 500 feet long and is located
on a sharp curve. Engineer Broadly
was a new man on that division of
the Southern, and it is said he came
to the curve at a very high rate of
speed.
The engine had gone only about so
feet on the trestle when it sprang
from the track. carrying with it four
mail cars and an express car. The
trestle. wooden structure, also gave
way for a space of 80 feet.
At the foot of the trestle is a shallow
stream, with a rocky bottom. Striking
this, the engine and cars were reduced
to a mass of twisted iron and steel and
pieces of splintered wood. AS the
cars went down they touched the
sides of the Riverside Cotton Mill,
which is very close to the trestle.
All the dead men were killed in
stantly, il is thought, and all were
greatly mutilated. The skin and hair
on the engineer and fireman we're torn
off by the impact of the steam engine.
Several thousand peopl> were soon
at the scene of the wreck. No one
on any of the cars had made an effort
to jump, and the bodies of all those
killed were foun5 in the wreckage of
the different cars to which they be
longed. Ladies who drove out to the
wreck from Danville tainted at TIE
sight of the bodies, some of which
were crushed to q CHASTITY degree. 1t
seemed miraculous that any one should
have escaped. for each car falling
with the engine bounded from it and
completely collapsed after striking the
rocks at the foot of the trestle. All
the express matter in the express car
was practically destroyed, except six
crates full of canary birds. None of the
birds was hurt, though the crates were
In the thickest of the debris. All un-
official opinions that have been ascer-
tanned agree in giving only one cause
for the wreck-the high speed of the
train on the sharp curve. Train No.
% was Unring about an hour behind
time. r is thought that the engineer
being unfamiliar with the road, did
not take into consideration the dan.
ger Of coming on the curve with such
great velocity.
The mail bags in all the mail cars
were broken open and the letters and
packages were scattered, but il is be
lieved that none were lost. Fire. which
appeared in the wrcckagc shortly af
ter it occurred, was quickly cXtin
guiShed by the D2nville fire depart
