DlNsTlNeuIsHED SAINTS COMING
President Smith and Senator smoot
Will Visit Billings.

At present party Of distinguished
members of the Mormon hierarchy are
in the northern part of the state,
where they have been making a tour
of the settlements of the faithful on
both sides of the international line.
1t is said that the principal object of
their trip was to look into the mat
ter of the beet sugar plant on the
Canadian side, operated by Latter
Day Saints.
A letter received from them by c.
w. Sparr states that they will be here
next Wednesday and intend to spend
the day at Billings, leaving at night
for Coburn and thence to CoWley the
Mormon settlement in Wyoming.
In the party are Joseph Smith, pres

WILL KEEP THEM BUSY.
Flockmasters crowding Onto Range
North Of Miles City.

George Tate is in from Stacy. Mr.
Tate says that Charles DAILY is coming
this way with 5000 head of sheep and
will drive them to the north side in
search of range. 1t is also reported,
says the Yellowstone Journal, that
large numbers of sheep are being
driven down this way from Billings
by owners who expect to find on the
north side of the Yellowstone feed for
their stock The number reported ap-
proaches $4,000.
From the repeated statements OF
the crowded condition of the range on
that side of the river heard this sum-
mer, and the unprecedented number of
sheep sheared there this season, it
may we'll be assumed that wool grow
ers will be kept hustling for feed and
water for their stock this winter.

A PROMINENT VISITOR.
Former Judge Of District Court Visits
the City.

Among the prominent visitors in the
city is the Honorable John Coburn OF
indianapolis, although one time OF
Montana He was the last repub-
lican judge to preside over the district
before the first Cleveland administra-
tion, having been appointed by Presi-
dent Arthur.
Judge Coburn remained on the
bench until 1886, when Cleveland sent
out man named Pollard, also from
Indiana, to relieve. him. Pollard's adj
ministration was shortlived, as he
never presided at term OF court
here, leaving for the east almost im-
mediately after his appointment on
account of some ugly stories that
found their way into the newspapers
concerning some escapades OF his be-
fore his appointment In turn Pol
lard was succeeded by Judge j. H.
McLeary, also a Cleveland appointee
Judge Coburn is possessed of sec
ton of unimproved land a short dis
tance west OF the city and the occa-
sion of his present visit is to make
arrangements for it's improvement and
reclamation, as no water right is at
'tached to it.

second day of the Bozeman fair a
Billings horse won the harness race.

fourth having been scratched. Swed-
en-, a Bozeman animal, was the favor
ite and the knowing. ones backed her
liberally, as she was regarded as a
sure winner. AS it often occurs, the
talent" made a mistake and j. r..
Conway..s Button, a green mare, max
ing her first race, won in two straight
heats. Time, 2:1SA, 2:21.
On the second day in the 2:1S pac-
ing race W. B. Georges Billings q.

tween 80 and 80 and every horse there
would be entered for events at the

JUDGE LOUD RULES ON CASE
AGAINST COUNTY.

FIRE FUND IS ENRICHED
All Money Received AS License From
Insurance Companies Properly
Belongs TO II.

Having the weight and effect OF a
courts decision on Its side, the city
of Billings has won it's fight against
the county for all the license money
received from insurance companies
doing business within the county.
AS stated in last Tuesdays issue
1 of The Gazette, the city had made de-
rnand upon the county for the money
received from the licenses paid by all
insurance companies, regardless OF
their nature, whether fire or life, con-
tending that it all should properly be
converted into the fire fund. The
county commissioners disputed this in
depreciation of the law, holding that
only the revenue from fire insurance
companies was convertible into the
fund.
| In order to secure a ruling OF the
court on the matter the case was sub
mitted to Judge Loud last Monday on
an agreed statement of the facts His
honor took the matter under advise
ment until Tuesday afternoon, when
\ lie rendered a decision. He found for

cordingly.

posal was not sufficient for the pur-
pose and after the testimony of j. w.

further consideration was continued
until Wednesday, September 8.

During the afternoon his honor an
nounced that he would hold a night
session at which the remaining mat
ters would be disposed of, as it was
imperative that he should leave for

following morning.

trial and a few were ordered stricken
from the docket, having been settled
out of court.

of o. E. Mills VS.. James A. Virtue.
Must Try Again.
At the last term of the court Judge
Loud granted an alternative write O
mandate against the defendant in the
case of Yellowstone county VS.. Lannf

for a writ of injunction to prohibl1
the defendant from constructing az

. way west of the city An order was
made in accordance and the matter
rested until last Tuesday, when i
came up again on a demurrer by the
defendant to plaintiffs complaint.

set arrived plaintiff confessed the de
murrer and was granted 10 days II

Careful observers who have had an ops
portunity OF Investigating the habits of
milionaires toll US that one of their most
interesting pecuiarties Is the way they
conduct their courtships. In the case of an
elderly millionaire this Is done by going
to female and shaking money before
her until 1t wins her, while the young

with the female he has picked out for

their fortunes and form trust.
