FAIR SIZED CROWD ATTENDED
THE EXERCISES.
Ben Tibbetts and Roy Dennis
We're Winners IN the
Foot Race.

The contests at the fair grounds
yesterday afternoon resulted as
| follows:
The ball game between White
Earth Indians and the Bemidji
team was won by the latter by a
score of % to 4.
Indian foot race, 200 yards,
first prize, Ben Tibbetts of Deer
River; second prize, Frank Ma
son of Deer River.
Free-for-an foot race, 200 yards
first prize, Roy Dennis; second
prize, II. D. Arnold; third prize,
r. English.
Claude Dudrey won first prize
in the pony race.
There was a fair sized crowd
in attendance at the exercises,
which, because of several of
the contestants failing to.
appear, did not run very
smoothly. The events We're late.
in getting started and there were
vexatious delays. The ball game
was tiresome. 1t was nothing
but a school boy exhibition at
best, and to compel the onlookers
to witness more than two of the
dragging and uninteresting inn
ings was an insult to their intel
ligence. Half the people went
home before the game was any
where near finished, and the.
other half only remained because
there We're to be horse races
after the game. Bemidji play
ers clearly outclassed their In
diam opponents atall points.
The races were interesting
BenFibbets, the Indian who won
in the Indians race, would like
wise have carried off first plaeein
the free-for-all, it's claimed, but
the whites took an unfair ad
vantage Of him and he did not
run.
There were four ponies en-
tered in the horse race. Three
jockeys were Indians, and the
other, the winner, was white
boy of Bemidji.

Alleged j. NJ. Hanson Sold
Intoxicating Liquor
to Indians.
NOW OUT UNDER ONE THOUSAND
DOLLAR BONDS.
Hanson Denies the Charge and
Will Be Given a
Hearing.

]. M. Hansen, who keeps sa-
loon on Third street, was arrested
yesterday afternoon for selling
Intoxicating liquor to the Indians
now in town. This offense is a
serious one against the govern
+ ment and is punishable by a
heavy fine or a sentence OF sew
4eral years in prison. Mr.. Han
sen is to have a hearing within
the next few days. He is out on
81, 900 bail.
The police have been aware for
the past few days that the lndi-
ans have been getting Whiskey
from local saloon men but up to
yesterday afternoon no con
victing evidence could be Sc
scured. Two of the Indians who
were in an intoxicated condition
We're searched yesterday and
whiskey, or vile liquor, almost
pure alchohol, sold as whiskey,
was found in bottles on their
persons. They readily agreed to
tell who sold them the liquor and
guided the police officers to Han
sens saloon, pointing out Mr..
Hansen as the man who had sold
them the stuff. The saloon
keeper denied the charge but
was arrested nevertheless. It's
said that plenty Of convicting evi-
dence can be secured. Others
in town are suspected of selling
so-called whiskey to the Indians.
Other arrests are likely to fol

Yesterday, we heard one of our old
er citizens say, swell, my boy used to
never miss coming to see us Christ
mas, but he has fallen out Of the hab-
it, SO I suppose he will fail this time.
Its pretty Lard on we old people to
miss our children at this time, but 1
guess they know best" A tear trick
led down the old gentleman's cheek,
and he showed plainly that he consid.
cred he and his faithful old wife about
forgotten. Young men leave their old
town and secure employment in the
city, they soon become infatuated
with the rapid pace Of city life and
the old. home grows too small for
them. We sometimes see fellows
come back to Lancaster who wear an
air that would disgust a pretrified
man. They have forgotten the many
times they haze crossed the old Public
Square wearing q Bingham waist, cot
ton breeches, one gallus and sore toe.
They have forgotten the frequent
trips they have made "across town"
bringing up the rear of the old brindle
COW. They are men now, and the
"Public Square" which once looked to
them like Madison Square would now
appear has little interest to them.

While in Louisville the other day,
we had the pleasure of visiting a dis
play of the work made by the LOUIS
vile newspaper artists. Some Of this
was on the high order, that is, 1t was
done in cOlOrs, while most Of the rest
consisted of comic drawings. The car
tOon man furnishes more pleasure and
information, too. than any man on
the daily papers, and nothing adds
more to the metropolitan journal than
the comic drawings made of local and
general events. The only objection is
there is not more of it.

Governor Richards Of Wyoming Nam
ed for Head Of Land Office.
The news of the appointment of
former Governor Richards to be COM
missioners of the general land office
will be hailed with delight by hun
dreds of that gentleman's friends in
this part of Montana and throughout
the state of Wyoming, where he is a
resident. No appointment has been
made by President Roosevelt wherein
the appointee is better fitted to fill
the duties of the ofice.
In every sense MI. Richards is a
western man. Prior to the time he
was elevated to the governors chair
in the neighboring state he followed
surveying and ranching in the Big
Horn basin, where he still holds some
extensive ranch property. Mr.. Rich
ards is a pioneer of that section and
much of the work he did there 20
years or more ago aided materially in
attracting home seekers to that
matchless part of the public domain.
His work in the general land office
will be sure to prove beneficial to
the west.

THEY NAY BE INNOCENT.
Doubt as to Guilt OF, Alleged Bank
.-"u Robbers.

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
NOV that the excitement of the
chase has subsidized and people in Car
bon county and the country adjacent
are beginning to reason out the hold
up of the bank at Bridger last month,
the impression appears to be wide
spreading that not all, if any, of the
men held to the district court at Red
Lodge were parties to the robbery.
At Columbus, in the western part of
this county, where one or more of the
accused men are we'll known, the i'm
preston seems 70 prevail strongly
that all the men in iail at Red Lodge
and accused of being participants in
the holdup are not guilty of the
crime of which they stand charged.
II is admitted, however, that some of
them may possibly know something
of the matter.
A gentleman who resides at Column
bus and who has lived there for a
score of years or more is in the city
today. To The Gazette he related as
a fact that Lonesome Joe," n of
the accused, was at the Fishtail post
office in Carbon county on the after
noon of the day preceding the robbery
and that he received a registered par
eel and other mail matter for ranch
people residing in the extreme upper
end of the valley of the West Rose
bud river. This mail matter was de.
livered to the people to whom it was
addressed at their homes late on the
evening preceding the day of the
"holdup."
1t is also related that the young
man, Countryman, was at the ranch
Of his uncle on the West Rosebud the
evening preceding the day of the rob-
berry of the bank feeding cattle. Both
Lonesome Joe" and the C%ountryman
boy, it is claimed by their friends,
will make a strohg defense in the way
of alibis when their case is tried IN
the district court.
