FOR ILLEGAL FENCING.
Hearing Of Testimony Against Ed
ward CardWelI is BEGUN.

ward CardweiI Is Begun.
F" At last the grangers residing UP the
valley, who have been complaining for
a number of years at the action OF
the large iockmasters and cattlemen
in allegedly fencing the public domain.
are having their inning. AS has been
published repeatedly. the government
some months ago ordered the removal
OF all illegal fences that were erected
for the purpose of enclosing public
lands for the use of the graZers. 1t
seems that but little heed has been
paid to the order and the agents of
the government have begun action in
the courts to compel compliance with
the orders of the interior department.
Among those who are held guilty of
having constructed such illegal fences
in this county are Herman Witt, G. T.
Thomas and Edward Cardwell. 1t is
said that others also are in the same
boat, but so far it seems no action has
been instituted against any,, except
the three named.
Recently F. H. Hathhorn OF this
| city was appointed special examiner
to hear testimony in the actions be-
gun against the defendants and today
he is holding his first sitting. 1t was
| elected to proceed with the case
against Cardwell first and this after
noon the hearing is in progress. Quite
a number of witnesses have been
subpoenaed for the government and as
in all matters in which the govern
ment is the prosecutor the case will
undoubtedly be gone into in detail.
In addition to the oral testimony that
will be heard, the prosecution will also
introduce much of a documentary ma
ture, having come in possession Of
some papers filed in connection with
several cases tried at the recent term
OF the district court in this county in
which some of the present defendants
were plaintiffs and in which they sued
for injunctions to keep other parties
off the lands they had fenced as pas
lures.
United States Attorney Bailey OF
Helena appears for the prosecution
and o. r. Goddard of this city for the
defense. Masena Billiard of Helena
is also retained for the defense, but
has not as yet put in an appearance,

found himself, for the letter stated
that the writer of it would send him
a money order for $25 with which to
employ a lawyer, promising him that
another order for a like amount would
be forthcoming at the next payday.
A number of newspaper clippings
were also found. One of them seem
ed to be of recent date and contained
a brief account of the arrest of Will
liam Brandt, supposedly at Helena,
for passing a forged check. The de-
tective engaged the prisoner in con-
v~ersation for the purpose of finding
out more about him and was still
closteed with him when The Gazette
reporter left the station. From what
had been learned up to that time it
was made to appear that the man had
been a chum of the Northern Pacific
brakeman recently sentenced at Mis-
soula for a long term for criminal as
cault on a little girl.
Gives His Name.
This afternoon the prisoner said his
name was William George Riley, but
beyond that volunteered no further
information concerning himself. He
will be held a day or two longer in
order that the authorities may learn
something more about him. 1t is
cold +bo+ he is mixed I'm in q. watch
transaction at Livingston for which
he may be wanted" there. One
story has it that he stole the watch.
while another is that he bought it,
on credit, and then disposed of it to
some one here. Until more can be
learned concerning the matter prob
| ably no complaint will be lodged
against him in the courts here.

SCORED oNE VICTIM.
Riley Obtains Valuable Watch from
Southside JeWeler.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Although he was not successful in
passing his bogus checks, the man
Riley, Bailey, Brant, or whatever his
name may be, succeeded in playing a
confidence game on a southside jew
eler, whom he fleeced out OF a watch.
The jeweler reported to Chief Dulin
last evening that the fellow had rep
resented himself rs being regularly
employed by the Northern Pacific
that he needed a watch, but did not
have the money to pay for one. He
said that if given a watch he would
give the seller an order on the railroad
and make monthly payments
on the timepiece. Although he fell
low was an entire stranger to him,
he ieweler accommodated him and
let him have a valuable watch, taking
the order in exchange. 1t was only
after he had read last nights Gazette
that the jeweler came to the conclu-
sion that he had been buncoed and ap-
pealed to Mr.. Dulin. The latter in
terrogated the prisoner concerning
the matter and he admitted having
received a watch as stated, but claim
ed that he had disposed of it while
drunk and could not recall to whom he
had given it.
County Attorney Harris said last ev-
ening that while he had not fully in
vestigated the case as it then appear
ed against the prisoner, he doubted
whether much could be done with
him, unless it could be proved that
the check he attempted to pass was
a forgery. Having received nothing
on account of it, it was not a case OF
having obtained money or goods un
der false pretense. and it was doubtful
whether he could be successfully pros
ecuted for simply having made the
attempt. Since the matter OF the
watch has come up, however, the
case may have assumed a different
aspect in the eyes of the law n the
fellow may have to face a charge o.
fraudulently obtaining goods.

NECESSARY ISSUE.
Additional Bond Issue Must Be Made
for Schools.

for Schools.
At the forthcoming school election
in the city, aside from the election
of several members of the board OF
education. the taxpayers of the district
will be called upon to vote on the
question of bonding the district in the
sum of $4,000.
Expressions from many taxpayers
indicate that there is opposition to
bonding the district, but if the people
expect to maintain public schools they
must provide funds for that purpose
The proposed bond issue is for the
purpose of paying off bonds which
will mature in a few months and pro-
vide funds for part of the operating
expenses during the next school year

BILLINGS BOWLERS TOP OTHER
OUTSIDE TEAMS.
ovREn is The CHAMPION
Makes Highest Individual Score in
Tournament--Salsbury Reward
ed With BOBBY Prize.

Awhile they failed to return with the
Championship trophy, the Billings
Nowlers have the satisfaction of being
the only outside players who partici-
pated in the state tournament that got
even honorable mention, being the
only ones of the visitors that won any
OF the series in which they participant
! Ell. They also have the supreme salts
faction of having defeated their old
enemies, the Thorntons, the men who
at one time were heard to say a great
deal concerning what they would do
with the 'sheepherders." The trophy
goes to the Phisters, a Butte team,
while a player from Billings won the
state championship for individual
scoring. o. G. Ovren had the pole that
reached the persimmon. He did it
by knocking over 8O2 pins in four
games. For this he received a cash
prize of $24. Sam Salisbury was an
other who was awarded a prize, but
for a different performance. He was
the low mar in the tournament and
received a cooked hat ball, with finger
holes, as the "booby" prize.
The only teams that defeated the
men from the Magic City were the
Phisters and Butte Miners, Billings
beallng all the others. Just what the
granu total scores made are could not
be learned when the home players left
last night, but they know that they
finished in fourth place, after expert
encing the hardest kind of luck in
their first days playing. Had the
tickle old dame been as free with her
smiles on the opening day as she
was on the last probably a different
tale would have to be told.
In yesterdays games Billings com:
peted with Miles City, the Thorntons
and Phisters, defeating the first two
and going down before the last nam
ed. The score of the game with the
Phisters could not be learned. Bill
ings' total was 1858, which, although
not so very bad, was topped by
!, considerable margin by the Butte
men. The other scores were:
Billings-575, 495, 5SS; total, 1858.
Thorntons-532, 4s5, 495; total, l,

The Billings-Miles City game re
