TOOTH FULLER RUNS AMUCK
KNOCKED DOWN HIS MEN AND
DREW THEIR MOLARs.
Assaulted a Woman and Caused a
General Reign of Terror on
a Duluth Street.

Duluth, Mimi, March 5.-John
Simonson, a %Finlander, created a
reign of terror on Lake avenue this
morning and in a most peculiar
ner. Armed with a pair of forceps
he walked up to an old man in a sa-
loon, asked him how his teeth we're,
was told they were all right, and then
knocked the old man down and pulled
two OF them before he was stopped.
He also visited the home of a Mrs.
E%llason, on the avenue, and pulled
one Of her teeth before he was driven
off.
1t was learned after his arrest that
he had operated on eight or ten men
in different saloons during the norm
ing, but all were too drunk to realize
what he was doing. He said after
his arrest that he was a dentist, but
when asked for his license pulled out
a contract for cutting cordwood.
The strangest feature of the cas-
is that the MAI seems to be perfectly
sane. If he has any other mental
weakness than this it has not vet
been discovered.

Mr.. G0RMAN IS MADE CHAIRMAN
Steering Committee appointed to Fill Vacancies OF
Committees Caused By Democratic
Members Retiring.

X, Jag committee with a view to agreeing
OIL q general reorganization, but SC
far as there was an expression of
opinion III this point it was favorable
to the view of leaving the question of
reorganization on general lines to be
! determined by the republicans in
power.
There is no doubt, however, that
will insist upon having some of the
committees filled for the reason that
the democratic party has lost quite
heavily in some Of the committees
which are in control of present bust
ness. They will ask, for instance,
that the vacancies on the committee
Bailey retired from this committee be-
fore adjournment of the last congress
and by unanimous consent Senator
Clark of Montana was appointed to
the vacancy. 1t is expected the steer
ing committee will approve this &C
ton and also will name a successor
mittee. 1t is thought necessary to
have these vacancies filled immedi-
ately as this committee will have to
deal with the pending treaties. They
will also ask that the democratic
vacancies on the committee on inter
oceanic canals caused by the retire
ris and Turner shall be filled.
1t is also probable that they will
ask the places vacated by Senators
Vest and Turner on the committee on
commerce shall sbe filled before the
nomination of Doctor Crum to be col
lector at the port of Charleston is
taken up by that committee. A sim
liar demand will probably be made in
all the cases in which the committee
have charge of nominations over
which there may be controversy.
The caucus was in session for al
most two hours.
Later in the day the steering COM
n1itee was named. 1t consists of SEN
ators German of Maryland; Cockrell
OF Missouri; Martin of Virginia;
Bacon of Georgia; Dubois of Idaho;
Money of Mississippi; Bailey of Tex
as; Blackburn of Kentucky and Till
man of South Carolina.

IS FINED HEAVILY
JURY LAND HIM FOR THREE HUN
DRIED AND FIFTY.
Manager Of Patent Medicine Chow
Attempts Liberties With Bel
grade Young Lady.

Bozeman, March 5.-Dr. Harry
Dealy was tried before Judge Melin-
berg and a jury in the justice court
this afternoon, and was found guilty
OF assault in the third degree. The
jury fixed his punishment at a fine of
$3.50. DR.. Dealy is manager OF a pat
emit medicine show which recently per-
formed in Belgrade.
Last Thursday Edna Moore, aged
Is years, called at the doctors office
to inquire about a contest for a watch
to be given to the most popular young
lady at Belgrade, as decided by the
votes of the residents. According to
Miss Moore's testimony, DR.. Dealy
invited her into his Office, and after
a short conversation attempted undue
liberties. Miss Moore Immediately
went home and told her parents.
DIR. Dealy, after the alleged episode,
went up to the drug store, and as he
was returning to his office in Water
mans hall two or three men jumped
on him and gave him a thorough beat
ing and made threats of lynching. He
finally managed to get away from
them, and after returning to his Of
fee concluded to get out of town.
Dealy came to Bozeman, walking part
of the way.
In the meantime a warrant had been
issued for his arrest, and the sheriff
at Bozeman notified. Dealy was arr
rested in the Mitchell house and plac-
ed in Jail. but was released on bail
the next day. Dealy is rather short of
cash, and his company of patent medi-
cine showmen is at a standstill until
the cash is forthcoming to pay the
fine. !

Washington, March 6.-The demo-
cratic senatorial aucus which met
this morning elected Senator German
as chairman. He made a brief speech
in assuming the chair and the con
ference then proceeded to other bust
ness. There were % of the 33 demo-
Gratis present.
chairman was suggested by Senator
Bacon. and there was no opposition
to his selection.
On taking the chair he thanked the
senators for the honor conferred, but
did not make an extended speech.
The remaining time of the session
was devoted to the present situation
IN the senate and the necessity for
democratic harmony and unity OF &C
ton. There was a general feeling
that the vacancies caused by the re-
tirement of democratic senators from
committees which have to deal with
questions before the present called
session should be filled. and it was di-
rected that the designation of the
members of these committees should
be made by a steering committee to
be appointed by the chairman of the
caucus. but hat their selection should
later be ratified by the caucus. The
steering committee for the past SEES
bers. but Senator German requested
that the number should be increased
to nine, which was the number in the
days of his previous Craftsmanship
and this increase was decided upon.
Mr.. German will make his selection
Of members of this committee in time
to have a meeting tomorrow when the
question of supplying the vacancies on
the regular committees of the senate
will be taken up.
The caucus placed in the hands of
the steering committee authority to
decide for the democrats whether
there should be a general ~reorganiza-
ton Of the senate committees or the
mere filling of vacancies on those
committees, which will deal with
pressing questions during the extra
session.
The committee is empowered to
negotiate with the republican steer.

HELENA's STATE FAIR.
constitutionaIity Of Bill in Aid Of.
Same Questionable.
Especial to The Gazette.l

FL -
Helena, March 1.-The opinion is
freely expressed since the adjourn
ment of the legislature that the bill
to appropriate money and name a
commission for the st. Louis fair is
not the only fair bill hat has gone
by default. 1t is claimed that the leg
islature exceeded the powers granted
by the constitution when it appropriate
ed S10 900 for a state fair to be held
at Helena in the succeeding two years.
Article XIII, section one Of the con-
stitution has a direct bearing on the
bill which the legislature passed ap-
propllatins money for state fair pur-
poses. That section reads:
Neither the state, nor any county,
city, town, municipality, nor other
subdivision of the state shall ever
give or loan it's credit in aid of, or
make any donation or grant, by sub
sidy or otherwise, to any individual,
association or corporation, or become
a subscriber to, or shareholder in.
any company or corporation, or joint
II with any person, company or
corporation, except as to such owner
ship as may accrue to the state by
operation or provision of law"
The bill which passed the legisla-
ture was a direct donation on the part
Of the state in aid of a plan to hold
fairs at Helena during the succeeding
two years and the opinion prevails
is unconstitutional.

Away from Alaska.
Great Falls, March 6.-Workingmen
are warned away from Dawson and a
circular telling the reason therefor
has been received by labor unions in
this city from the Trades and Labor
council of the north city. The letter
points out that there are now more
men in Dawson than can possibly find

the men.
A number of Great Falls mel hope

STRAYS IN CANADA.
Circular of Interest to Roundups
Along the Boundary Line.

The following circular has been is
sued by the Canadian customs author
tiles: Roundup parties entering
Canada for the purpose of taking out
cattle or other live stock are required
to report at the nearest custom house
after crossing the frontier and obtain
a permit from the customs officer in
the regular way. The permits shall
be subject to the conditions that
roundup while in Canada shall be ac-
companied by a member of the police
force, or by an officer of the customs
whose duty it will be. especially to
see that Canadian cattle are not dis
turbed on their range and that Ameri-
can live stock are taken across the
line and properly reported o%utwards;
and also that foreign live stock, I'M
earthed for duty, are not branded on
Canadian territory. The pasturing of
live stock in Canada is not permitted
without due entry at the customs
house. The owners will be held strict
~ accountable after June, 1903, for
keeping foreign live stock in Canada
under penalty of seizure and for
feiture. Casual estrays will be es-
pecially dealt with from time to time,
but the onus of proof that. cattle are
estrays, in any instance will rest on
their owners"

AN EIGHT CLUB LEAGUE
SAN FRANCISCO AND LOS AN.
GELEs TO BE IN THE P. N. w.
New Clubs Financed and Grounds Sc
cured-Franchises Will Be
Granted by Lucas.

Spokane, Wash, March 1.-TWO new
baseball teams have been organized
il. California, one in san Francisco
and the other in Los Angeles.
The propositions have been fnanc-
ed, ground secured and application
made for admittance into Pacific
Northwest league. The announce
menJ made over d month age that the
Pacidc-Northwest league Intended to
invade Pacific coast territory was not
all a bluff, as is shown by this an
nouncement. Work has been going
on quietly for some time and every
thing is said to be in readiness for
final action. Who the promoters of
the new scheme are, or who are back
ing them is kept secret, but at least
two teams will be in the field.
Making Room.
Al hough the fact was not made
public, the two towns mentioned APP
piled some time ago for a franchise
in the Pacific-Northwest league and
President Lucas went south TO look
owe the situation. The result is that
two towns will be accorded room in
this league. unless the Pacific coast
league drops Portland and Seattle. II
now all rests with the Pacific Coast
league and Hank Harris. If the base
ball magnate now controlling the Pa
cific Coast league concludes to stay
with the territory he has invaded
one including San Francisco, Lo;
Angeles, Sacramento, Oakland, Port
land and Seattle. and the other EN-
bracing the towns Of San Francisco
Los Angeles, Portland. Seattle, Ia
coma, Spokane, Butte and Helena.
There is a bare possibility that an
other team or two in California may
be taken in circuit, but there is little
chance of this. From what Harri!
has said there is little probability o
his releasing Seattle and Portland
from his string.
A Big Jump.
The jump from Butte to San Fran
cisco is a big one, but the league
magnates believe that without being
taxed to support Oakland and Sacra
mento. as is the Pacific Coast league
they will make it pay. At all events

for Judge Webster.
Mott was somewhat paler than usual
and plainly showed the mental agony
under which he has been the past
few weeks. With folded arms he
listened while Judge Webster briefly
recited the history of the foul crime.
When the court asked if there were
any reasons why the sentence of death
should not be pronounced upon him,
Mott replied:
Nothing particularly, your honor,
except that | think the verdict is
rather severe. | do not think the
jury fully understood the condition
OF mind when the deed was commit
ted. | have no recollection of the de-
tails of the matter whatever. l was
asked about it by Mr.. Murray, and al
SO by Duncan and Draffen, and could
not tell them about it. | don't be-
lieye that the jury was fully aware OF
the facts in that respect and for that
reason I think the verdict rather Sc

ANOTHER RoTTeN DEPARTMENT

nj OW THE SEARCHLIGHT is to be
~ turned on the interior department.
Soon people viii be asking themselves
.if there IS a single government depart
ment that does not smell to heaven
with official corruption. An outsider,
in the official sense, John H. Benson Of
San Francisco. has been arrested on
a charge of bribing employees Of the
interior department. It is manifestly
impossible for Mr.. Benson to be guilty,
however. unless some Of the depart
ment officials are also guilty.
Benson could hardly be a bribe-giver
unless there are bribe-takers. tits al
legged that his operations covered q
wide stretch Of territory and covered
no less than sixteen states, including
Utah. His scheme was simple. By
bribing interior department clerks it
is claimed that he secured advance in
formation as to land which was to be
set aside as forest reserves. Then he
would fraudulently enter or purchase
such land, after which, under the law,
when the forest reservations were made
he would exchange it for more valuable
land
According to reports from Washing
ton, Benson has secured 100000 acres
Of fine land by means of fraud. 1t is
inconceivable that this work was done
without the connivance Of responsible
officials IN the department. In his an
nual report Secretary Hitchcock
| touched on the matter at some length,
so it is evident that he has made some
discoveries which have not yet been
made public. The dispatches published
yesterday said that some clerks were
slated for arrest and others for dis
charge as a result Of the inquiry
The matter cannot be too thoroughly
sifted. The public lands are the her
itage Of the whole people and should
be kept sacred for them. There is
room in the west for thousands of
farms and homes, and the people who
build their homes IN the wildernesses
are the ones who are entitled to the
benefits. The land grabbers and spec
ulatOrs must be kept of of the public
domain. no matter how many of them
are sent to prison.

Z HICAGO IS IN THE THROEs Of
- another desperate conflict between
employers and employees. And, as usual,
the Chicago brand of labor trouble is
the worst that can be found. Sixteen
hundred livery drivers. backed by that
most incorporate Of organizations, the
teamsters' union, are striking. They
want higher wages and better working
conditions and their demands may be
based on justice. on that point The
Herald is not well enough informed to
speak.
The methods used by the strikers,
however. merit only the most vigorous
condemnation. A dispatch says. for in
stance: "Only the presence of a large
police squadron prevented strike sym
pathizers from attacking a funeral to-
day. While the police stood guard
about the hearse union pickets and
strike sympathizers crowded the street
and threatened violence to the nom
union drivers Of the carriages and
hearse."
Even grief is not sacred to the strik-
ers. They seem absolutely lost to all
sense Of proprieties. Whether or not
they realize that the dead must be
buried, they do not show It. They deny
to mourners the poor privilege Of in
terring their loved ones decently and
without disorder; thay have forced the
abandonment of funeral corteges.
