WILL COMPETE.
County Goes for Big Prize at State
Fair.


While all has ben done in a quiet
way and but little has been said by
those at the head of the move, it
need not surprise anyone If at the
close of the state fair Yellowstone
county's name will be among the list
of the heavy prize winners. AS The
Gazette understands it, nc attempt
will be made for any individual pre-
miums, but for general display" a
determined effort will be exerted.
Yellowstone will be represented by
a beautiful and unique exhibit, one
intended to be characteristic of the
county and distinctive of its DIVERSE
fed industries and capabilities. AS
nearly as possible all the individual
exhibits will be grouped as a whole.
This in particular as to the products
of the soil. Arrangements have been
made for the construction of a booth
in agricultural hall, the sides and top
of which are to be composed of grass
es and grains. Inside of this will be
placed displays of fruit, vegetables,
cereals and other products of the
ranch and orchard. A generous amount
of bunting will be used in decorative
effect, and by an original idea yellow
will play no unimportant part in the
color scheme and in an allegorical

A telegram was received yesterday

Babcock returned Sunday
from his cattle ranch in the Bull
mountains. While he has plenty OF
good feed on his range, which is en-
closed, Mr.. Babcock reports a. great
scarcity Of grass in that region, con-
sequent upon the drouth and the i'm
mense numbers Of sheep that have
ranged in that locality. Between this
city n Thirty-mile in particular are
things in bad condition, in many places
the ground being absolutely bare for
miles and as hard as a well-traveled
roadbed. North of his range Mr.. Bah
cock says grass is also scarce and
some of the sheepmen and cattlemen
will probably find it no easy matter

Guy Wagner, whose artistic work
and ingenuity has been seen SO often
at the local fairs, has been engaged
to construct the booth and superintend
it's decoration and also arrange the
contents. He left for Helena last Sum
day and will be busy until the fair
opens installing the exhibit. After
that he will be on hand to entertain
the visitors with accounts Of what

OF FINANCE.
Stranger Makes Small Raise by Sell
sinu Rented Wheel.

One day last week a stranger called
at the shop Of Behrendt Bros. and
said he wanted to rent a bicycle, as
he was in a hurry to catch a man,
who was leaving town. AS security
for the return of the wheel he left a
small valise. The day and several
more passed without return OF he
man or bicycle and the owners ar
rived at the conclusion that they had
been defrauded. Color is given to
this by information received at police
headquarters.
A rancher residing up the valley a
few miles reported a few days ago
hat a stranger had stopped at his
place and sold him a wheel for $S,
the man saying he could not go any
further with it on account of the rain
as the condition of the roads made
| wheeling impossible. The wheelman
! said he was a piano tuner and was

travelling over the country. This state
ment and the fact that a novel was
found in the valise bearing the own
er's name and the line "piano tuner"
makes it quite certain'that if the seller
of the wheel could be found his prose-
cution for larceny would be compare
lively easy.
The valise left as collateral is a
small affair and has been turned over
to the police. When opened it was
found to contain a cap and coat OF
the kind worn by cooks and several
other articles used by cooks, and the
suposition is that the man who left
it with Behrendt Bros. stole it. 1t is
being held pending a claimant.

GOOD WOMAN GONE.
Mrs. Frances A. Soule Passes to Life

A long and noble life ended when
Mrs. Frances Alkaline Soule laid down
Ihe burden and her soul took flight to
the further shore. Mrs. Soule's death
occurred last Saturday morning at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. P. H.
Smith, in North Twenty-seventh street,
after an illness of short duration.
Mrs. Soule was a pioneer of two
states, Illinois and Montana. She
was born at Newport, Me-, January
20, 1929, and removed to Illinois at
an carly age, going by water to Chi
cago, arriving at that place before
the railroads which now cover the
state had been thought of. From
Chicago she went to Springfield, max
ing the journey by wagon. She con-
tinued to make her home at Spring
field until 1866, when she removed
10 Pontiac. There she remained until
I 1882, when she came to Billings, and
this city was her home ever since.
| Until about 10 years ago she lived
with her son S. w. Soule, and since
that time resided with her daughter.
About - years ago Mrs. Soule was
taken with typhoid fever, from the
effects of which she never fully re
covered, as the disease affected her
stomach permanently, although hel
health was fairly good up to within the
last three years, when she began tc
fail rapidly. With the hope that q
change of location might prove bene
fetal, she travelled much and during
that time has been away from the
city off and on. A week ago last
Sunday she returned from a %protracted
visit to California. When she begar
her homeward journey she was in
excellent spirits and apparently IN
better physical condition that at any
time during the last few years. Wher
this side of Missoula she caught colo

Cherbourg. France, May 5-The ROYAL
yacht Victoria and Albert, with King Ed
ward on board, left here this morning for
Portsmouth, escorted by British SQUAD
ron, after an exchange of salutes with the
forts and French warships and cheered by
the crowds assembled.
Be1Ore his departure the king sent the

once more warmly to thank you for the
and the French people have accorded me

recollection of which will never be effaced

When Portsmouth was reached, the forts
saluted and the ships were manned and
dressed. On his arrival a, telegram was
delivered to the king from the French
president.

King Edward received a great popular
ovation on his arrival in London from
Portsmouth. The railroad station was
closed to the public, but the approaches
We're thronged by large crowds and the
road to Buckingham palace, which was
gaily decorated with flags, was thickly
lined with people. The prince of Wales,
Prince Christian, the Duke of Cambridge,
Prince Charles Of Denmark, Premier Bal
four, Field Marshal Lord Roberts and
others greeted the king at the station.
After inspecting the guard Of honor the
king drove to the palace, visibly pleased
by the hearty cheers which marked his
progress along the whole route. He APP
peared to be in excellent health.
