The Post Office investigation is still
progressing. not as rapidly or as senSa-
tOnally. perhaps. as some might wish.
but with the absolute thoroughncSs which
chnractrlizeS all of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General BriStow's work. The
investigation is now concentrated largely
on the work of former superintendent of
salaries and allowances, George w.
Beavers on the New York poSt-otlice and
on the relations of III. II. Rand conf
dental clerk to the Postmaster General.
The President appreciates that Rand is
entirely unfit for his present position
and is relying on Bristow to demonstrate
to the Postmaster General that such is
the case. Rand has occupied most of his
time since his connection with the Gov
eminent service in the exploitation of
mining stocks and get-rich-Quick CON
Germs with which he is associated. These
he has promoted with the help of Gov

Run AGAINST a Snau.

Frank Lee and John O'Hare, two
young fellows of pugnastic tenden-
cies, were arrested this week for
raising disturbance at a saloon in
Batavia last Friday. Before arriving
at the latter place it is said that they
stopped off at Marion and proceeded
to make a rough house out of the
saloon there, and after terrorizing
the bartender and running things
with a high hand, they came on to
Batavia, where they started in to re,
peat their operations. They struck
a snag there in the shape of Billy
Parent, and when quiet was restored
Lee was found to have a broken jaw
and other bruises, while O'Hare also
showed marks Of rough usage, but
Parent escaped practically unscathei
The latter swore out a warrant for
the two men and they will have g
trial today before Justice Wallace.

To Conform to Relief Measure " Itch Is Sure
to Pass Both Houses.
STIRRING UP RAILROAD COMPANIES
Must Plough Fire Guard Along the RghtofWay and Burn
Inside 200 Feet Of Each Sids Of Track when D-
rected by County Commissioners.

Helena, Mont, Feb. 16.-Purely {
routine session was held by the SEN
ate this afternoon.
The committee on public lands
sent back Senator Mahon's bill re-
quiring railway companies to plough a
FIRE guard along their right-of-way,
with the recommendation that the
bill become law 1t requires that
the commissioners shall where a rail
road company refuses to plough the
guard and burn it's right of-way for
200 feet on either side of the track,
order the same to be performed,
the work to be done and assessed to
the company for double the cost of
having the job done.
The house and senate bills giving
cities more legislative powers in the
way of authorizing all municipalities
that have exceeded the legal per
cent limit of indebtedness to conduct
their business on a cash basis will
doubtless be enacted into law The

house has passed it and the senate
bill was favorably considered in the
senate today. The measure is franz
ed especially to give relief to the
city of Helena. The town has eX-
ceeded the limit of Indebtedness and
the mayor and water company have
been in litigation over the company's
water contract with the city for sew
eral years. The corporation secured
an injunction restraining the city
from paying out any money. The
town is practically bankrupt, and un-
less the desired legislation is accom-
plished a receiver would doubtless
have to be appointed to get the city
back into financial health again.
Mayor Edwards, however, looks to
this legislation to give the city relief
as it will enable the city then to pay
its officials, police force, and fire de-
partment. None of the employees of
the city have been paid since the
city was enjoined from paying out
any money whatsoever.

YOUNG FOUGHT FURIOUSLY
Convicted Murderer Gave Police a
TussIe in New York.

New York, Feb 13.-William Hoop
er Young was taken to Sing Sing
prison today, where he will COM
mence a life sentence for the murder
of Mrs Anna Pulitzer.
Young fought furiously against his
removal from the prison van to the
train which was to carry him to Sing
Sing, and the deputies had to drag
him through the Grand Central depot
which was crowded with people anx-
ious to get a glimpse of him. His
clothes were almost torn from his
body, his hat broken and his collar
torn off. Young made this fight de-
spite the fact that he was handcuffed
between two burly negro prisoners,
who, like himself, had been SEN
fenced to Sing Sing. Once on the
train he quieted down and drew the
blinds of the car to shut out the gaze
of the curious crowd. Arrived at the
prison town, he walked quietly to the
penitentiary.

MI John Lawrence Sullivan of
Boston and boxing is much moved
these days over The much heralded
Jack Munro.
The amount Of space given the
miner boxer stirred Sullivan's bile a
bit as he glanced over the newspaper
in one of his favorite haunts, and
having worked the bellows, he began
this blacksmith work:

But Sullivan was an old woman
