VIII Adopt Report.

It can be safely stated that the esti-
mates insures a reduction in the pres
ent county tax rate of $3.50. The re-
port will be submitted to the grand
jury at it's meeting next Friday to be
approved by them, and it is not prob
able that any changes will be made.
The grand jury seldom makes any
change in any of the appropriations
except the one for education, and
there is no likelihood of that being
changed since the board sllowed the
full amount asked for by the Board of
Education.
The budget, as submitted by the
committee, Messrs. A. B. Moore,
chairman; Albert Wylly and Jacob
PaulSen, is as follows:

The Budget Committee of the Coun-

budget that the estimate of expenses
this year is less than the actual levy
assessed for taxes last year, and I'M

innate, the result will be reduction
of taxation for county purposes.
The estimated expenses are $3.50, 900,
an amount which is more than $4,000

A special grand jury has been en-
panelled in Chicago to bring in in
dictments against the little coal trust
there. The states attorney in his
APPLICATION for a grand jury says that
combination has been formed: 'To
prevent competition in the sale and
delivery of coal in the county and to
regulate and fix the price thereof, and
that such a combination has been en-
tered into and exists to fix and lim-
it the amount and quantity of such
products as are mined in this state
and also such as are mined and pro-
duced elsewhere and brought into the
county for consumption and to reg
ulate and fix the price thereof" and
1T is matter of general informa-
tion that at the present time great
quantities Of such products have been
brought into the county for sale and
consumption, and that the same is
sold only at eXOrbitant prices, so much
beyond the cost of production and
transportation that such owners, op-
orators and dealers receive unreason-
able profits and the consumers are
required to pay exorbitant prices,

Jacksonian club, but the thing does
not seem to have turned out as ex-
pected. The man whom they were

1904. Instead of being a reorganizer,

collectable by suit at law. At last
the appellate court at Chicago has
come to the same conclusion and has
held that "the running of the corner

exorbitant and fictitious price of GA

when the reasonable and actual price
of that grain was then but SO cents

Generals Dewet, Botha and Delarey
did not visit the United States was
that the state department at Washing
ton made strong objections to the
visit and used every means known
to diplomacy to prevent it. The ad-
ministration was fearful Of the effect
that their visit would have upon the
republican party and its imperialistic
policy. This is an exclusive bit OF
news for the readers of The Inde-
pendent. Many persons connected
with the management of the great
dailies were cogniZant of the fact
but they managed to suppress any al

A very pretty wedding was solemn
lied yesterday afternoon in the recep-
tion room of the Stockwell apartment
house, when Archibald Truax and
Miss Lulu NJ. Wink were made man
and wife, by the Reverend Mr. Miller,
pastor of the First Methodist church.
The bride was becomingly gowned
in white dotted Swiss and carried 4
bouquet of roses. A dfanynd Sonl
burst, the present of the groom, was
her only ornament.
The guests were Mrs. Perry of st.
Paul, Mr. and Mrs. Stockwell, Mrs.
Johnson, Mrs. Emmons, Mr.. Treeborn,
Lyman Card, William Gremmert OF
Fergus Falls, Mimi, and H. C. Nc
Lean of Boston, Mass.

beautiful and valuable presents, the
gifts of admiring friends, whose
wishes for their future happiness and
joy are as sincere as they are numer-

being still in motion, although rum

of his shoestrings had become un-
tied and the loose end caught between
the drawheads, causing him to fall,
one foot resting on the rail. Before
he could extricate himself several
cars had passed over the foot, crushing
it out of all semblance to it's former

to the company's hospital at Brainerd.
Mr.. Schoelkopf the day before the
accident occurred had secured leave

return to Billings last Wednesday and
be married, to young lady residing
few miles out of the city.
The unfortunate victim OF the acci-

he was heard from at Des Moines, Ia,

and soon thereafter resumed his rum

he has been employed ever since.

Prosecution Offers Further Testimony
3 substantiatina Its Allegations.

Tuesday evenings proceedings were
confined to the hearing of testimony
offered by the prosecution.
Harry A. Groves, an attorney, en-
ployed in the Office of F. H. Hathhorn,
testified that on the evening of Sep

the sheriff when they attempted to
serve the writ. He described what
had been done in that connection.
Prior to that, he said, he had been ON
the south side looking for Morse, and
named several places visited by him.
Witness had seen Harris, who was
with Dwyer in Montana avenue. He
also saw him at the Northern Pacific

Usual Ending Of Marriage ceIe-
brated Here Recently.

A few weeks ago The Gazette chron-
icled the marriage in this city OF
Henry s. Howard of Etna, Custer coun-
ty, and Mabel Elmore of Miles City.
Because OF the great disparity in
the ages Of the pair, the&groom was
"a and the bride "a, the wedding at,
tracted considerable attention and
comment was made on the mating
Of late winter and early spring. The
couple, however, seemed to be absO-
lutely happy and the public concluded
that it was none of it's business, so
long as the ones most interested were
satisfied. Now comes another chapter
in the affair, which, perhaps, will not
surprise many. The bride, according
to the Yellowstone Journal, has de-
serted her aged spouse and gone to
parts unknown. A striking feature OF
the matter is that married daughter
of Howard has published card in
which she defends her youthful STEP
mother, saying that she is an excel
lent woman, literally endowed with
the graces and attributes of true
womanhood, and blames her father.
"Hot Water" Howard, as the groom
is known about Miles City, is said to
be the possessor Of a disposition and
temper suggestive of buzz saw in
action.

CROW INDIAN INSTANTLY KILLED
BY LOCOMOTIVE.
HIS NAME A MIsNOMER
sits-Before-the-Fog Rides Onto North.
ern Pacific Track with
Fatal Results.

Yesterday morning member Of the
Grow tribe was unceremeniously ush-
cred into the presence of those who
preceded him to the happy hunt
ing grounds, through the medium Of
Northern Pacific locomotive, at
tached to train No. 3, the westbOund
passenger, with which he came in
violent collision at the point where
the track crosses the drain ditch, this
side of the Yellowstone river bridge. \
The Indian was named Sits-Before-the-
Fog, but this seems to have been a
misnomer, for if there was any fog
about at the time he must have been
sitting behind it and consequently fail
ed to see or hear the approaching
train.
The accident occurred Immediately
after Engineer James Eckels had
whistled for the station After sound
ing the whistle he let down the lever
in order to slacken the speed ofsthe
train and when he looked up saw a
horses head and neck in front Of the
locomotive. At almost the same in
stant he felt jar and knew that the
engine had struck the horse. He did
not stop, but instead continued on
to the city and after the train stopped
at the station he got down from the
engine to see If it had been damaged.
He found bloody stirrup fastened
to the front of the locomotive and
reported his discovery to others of the
trainmen.
One of the switch engines was
pressed into service and with others
Mr.. Eckels went back to where the
accident occurred and found horse
lying by the side of the track, dead
and disembowled. Close by lay
dead Indian. The latter was placed
on board the engine and brought to
town and turned over to Undertaken
Settler, who notified Coroner Rinehart.
An examination of the body revealed
fractured, which was accepted as the
cause of death.
Inquiry disclosed that the dead In
dian lived near Pompey's Pillar and
came to town with several others,
who were in camp on the south side,
near the foot of Twenty-sixth street.
| Why he was riding alone at that time
Of night could not be learned. The
supp9sition is that he was drunk or
asleep and failed to hear or see the
train as it approached him while he
was attempting to cross the track.
The coroner's jury held the engi-
| neer blameless and declared the acci-
| dent to have occurred through no
| fault of his.
| After the inquest the body was given
! in charge of the dead mans friends,
who took it with them for burial.

CONTEMPT. PROCEEDINGS FINAL.
LY COME TO AN END.
ONE IS FOUND NOT GUILTY
r. c. Baker Innocent Others Must

order-stay Is Granted.

One dismissed and a stiff fine for
each of the other defendants is the
outcome of the contempt proceedings
which have been before Judge Loud
since the day following the surrender
Of Carey P. Snyder to the Missouri
officers by the police of the city, after
writ of habeas corpus had been
issued directing Chief Morse to pro-
duce Snyder's body in court.
The fines are not to be paid, how
ever, at once, a stay of 80 days hav-
ing been granted in order to enable
the defendants to file a bill of excep-
tions and apply to the supreme court
for writ of supervisory control. The
stay is conditional that the defendants
enter into an undertaking to pay the
fines and costs.
Shortly after court convened this
morning Judge Loud called up the
case and said:
SIN the matter of these contempt
proceedings regret to say that after
a careful examination of all the evil
dence in the case am obliged to find
that all of the police officers in this
city with the exception of R. c. Baker,
together with an officer of this court,
to-wit: Charles l.. Harris, conspired

While have no personal Keeling in
this matter, and if l followed my own
personal inclinations / should probably
overlook the offence, but inasmuch as
the attention of the court has been d.
rected to the facts by an affidavit filed,
the allegations of which have been
proven by evidence, 1 owe it to this
court over which l have the honor
to preside to see that the process OF
this court is respected not only by
laymen but more especially by officers.
"The judgment of the court is that
Sidney r. Morse, Charles l.. Harris,
V. J. Salisbury, G. E. Mowre. Ed. Gar
nant and Robert T. Hannah be and
they are adjudged to be guilty Of con-
tempt of this court, and the said Sid
ney F. Morse, Charles L. Harris and
v. J. Salisbury pay fine of SIS each,
and Robert T. Hannah, Ed. Garnant
and c. E. Mowre each pay fine of
$50, and that the respondent R. G.
Baker be discharged"
Some discussion followed between
opposing counsel as to the payment of
the costs. This was ended by rul-
ing of the court that the costs fol-
lowed the Judgment, and an order was
made that the costs be proportioned
: among the defendants.
Mr.. Goddard now asked for stay,
in order to give the defendants time
in which to prepare and file bill
of exceptions and apply to the SUI
preme court for a writ of supervisory
CONTROL
The motion was granted and ~
days was given the defendants for
that purpose, they meanwhile to give
security for the payment of both the
fines and costs.
