State Building at st. Louis,

Not being able to find anyone will
ing to undertake the erection of the
Montana state building at the St.
Louis exposition according to the plans
chosen and do it for the amount of
money the commissioners decided 70
expend, the board has adopted new
idea and hopes to meet with better
success in it's consummation than at
tended the first effort.
The plan adopted oridinally was for
building decidedly ornamental and
to be constructed of the materials en-
ployed IN the erection of a majority of
the buildings on the ground-staff and
lumber. 1t was thought that this
could be done at a cost not to exceed
$4,000 but when the bids submitted
were opened it was found that the
lowest was considerably in excess of
that amount. This necessitated re-
vision of the plans and some hard
studying was done to evolve building
that could be constructed for the sum
set aside for that purpose and still be
no discredit to the state. At last a
happy solution was arrived at, and tc
Commissioner Hoffman belongs the
credit for it's origination.
Mr.. Hoffman thought that a rustic
building, one suggestive of the old
log cabin days of the state, would
prove not only attractive, but also
original and, what was better still
such a structure could be erected at a
much lower cost than almost any other.
The committee at once adopted the
suggestion and is now advertising for
a building to be constructed in accord
ance with this idea. Besides being
cheaper, it is figured that when the
exposition closes the building can be
sold readily to some one, as the logs
are to be of cedar and the rest of the
material equally good. At the Colum-
bian exposition the state of Idaho had
a similar building and long before the
fair closed number of bids had been
received for it from wealthy men who
wanted it for removal to their summer
places among the lakes of Wisconsin.
1t was sold to one of them and a hand
some price was realized.
In speaking of the work of the COM
mittee the honorable Paul Mccormick,
secretary, stated to The Gazette yester-
day that liberal as the amount of the
appropriation made by the Legislature
appeared, it was already very apparent
that it was not enough and that some
means would have to be devised for
raising more money. How it is intend,
ed to do this has not yet beed decided,
but something will have to be donc.-

AT the time of the accident the men
were engaged in boat race, but be.

the particulars are unknown.
Burnett quickly sank to the bottom,
but Shoemaker attracted the attention

him just in time. He was still uncon.

and has been unable to throw any

Is Full Loser.

Tom Schlaberg, well known here and
in the Musselshell region, is trying to
figure out how he can recompense him
self for the loss of a band of sheep that
passed from his possession into that of
John Pickett, a rancher to the north,
sometime ago. The transfer was made
in regular and ordinary manner,
having been the result of sale of the
sheep by Schleberg to Pickett, but the
outcome was entirely different from
that the seller looked for.
The sheep were sold for $4,000 to
Pickett, who paid $500 in cash and
gave chattel mortgage on the sheep
for the balance, the amount still owing
to be paid within stipulated time.
Before that time arrived it seems Pick
EFT removed the sheep and sold them to
man named Westcott, resident
of Park county, for $4, 200. He received
the full amount of the purchase money
which was paid to him at Livingston.
From that place Pickett forwarded a
few hundred dollars to parties in this
city to whom he was indebted for sup
plies, and, according to reports, pro-
ceeded to have a good time on what re-
manned. In this he evidently succeed
ed beyond all expectation, for the story
has it that he returned few days ago
absolutely penniless, having spent
every cent of the money received from
Westcott and borrowed IS from friend
| before proceeding to his home.
Schlaberg seems to be without re.
dress, having failed to place the mort
gage on record, which, it is held, bars
any proceedings as far as the recovery
of the sheep is concerned. 1t is also
said that no criminal action can be
maintained against Pickett, as at the
most, he is guilty of no more serious
offense than breach of ftrust.-Billings

State Fair Notes.

The poultry raisers have been en-
couraged by the erection of neat
building on the state fair grounds. 1t
contains "a individual pens, and each
pen has it's own door.
The sheep and pigs will be comfort
able at the state fair. A model 4O-pen
barn has been erected which is 162 feet
in length. 1t is under roof, and has
solid sides three feet high.
Arrangements have been made at
the state fair for unloading the car-lot
shipments of exhibits. They will be
switched to the yards from the main
buildings. This is a great convenience.
The inmates of the penitentary plan
an exhibit at the state fair, of their
handiwork. They make brides, quirts
and novelties Of horse hair, canes and
many other trinkets. Tne exhibit Will
be interesting.
Broadwater joined the list of coun-
ties making an appropriation of county
funds for the state fair, setting aside
$500. Director Berg says Broadwater
will surprise visitors to the fair in its
mineral and agricultural exhibit, and
also have a fine fruit showing.
Helena proposes to see to it that her
guests during the state fair are cared
for. An information bureau will be
opened in prominent place and all
visitors will be directed to rooms. The
executive committee of the state fair is
having complete list of rooms and
boarding places compiled.
The state fair has added a broncho
rididing contest to the program. The
prize for the winner will be 800 and a
medal as the champion rough rider of
Montana. AS there are number who
lay claim to the championship in this
accomplishment, the contest promises
to be exceptionally interesting.
The inquiries for excursion rates to
the fair indicates widespread interest.
Livingston men report that 1000 peo-
pie will come from Park county. Boze-
man reports a large number as prepar.
ing for the big show. Townsend wants
to close the schools day and go to the
fair. Butte day will see several thous-
and from the big camp.
The state fair racing program gives
a splendid card for each day. Two
harness and three running races are
given each day. All the fastest horses
| in the state are entered in the harness
racess, and fifty runners will be on the
grounds. The green horse harness en-.
tries show number of horses capable
of making mile in better than 2:2O.
The ladies relay race at the state
fair, for which $500 is offered, is at.
tracing much attention. Several coun.
| ties report lady riders in training for
this event. The prize offered, $3.50
first, 500 second. and $50 third. The
third is an inducement for few weeks
training. The change of horses every
mile requires skill and head work, as
it is not altogether to the swift that this
race may go.

ANOTHER DYNAMITE OUTRAGE,
Plot to Blackmali the Northern Pacific Is
Apparently Growing.

The plot to blackmai1 the Northern
Pacific, may have more of reality and
less of romance in it than was at first
supposed. There seems to be de-
termined effort on the part of gang of
dynamiters to wreck destruction on the
property of the railroad.
At ? O'Clock Tuesday morning, Sept.
81, an attempt was made to wreck No.
II, the eastbound passenger train
which leaves Helena at 1:5O o'clock to
connect with the North Coast Limited
at Logan.
A stick of dynamite had been placed
upon the railroad tracks at a point
about one-half mile east of the Helena
depot. When the engine passed over
it, it exploded with great force, put
ting out the lights in the locomotive
and cars, as well as shattering most
of the windows Of the passenger
coaches. The under portion of the rail
was broken out, but the top remained
in pl ace so that although for distance
Of about twelve inches there was but
crust of iron an inch IN thickness to
hold up the cars, none Of them left the
track.
The train was brought to stop and
the cause of the trouble ascertained.
AS soon as it was found that no dam
age sufficient to interfere with the
progress of the train had been done it
continued on it's way.
The engine was in charge of Engi-
neer Brown and the train in charge
of Conductor Snedaker. The engine
hauling the train was No. 6o3. The
point at which the explosion occurred
is just within the Helena yard limits
of the Northern Pacific railroad, be-
tween the depot and East Helena.
An examination made it evident that
only one stick of dynamite had been
used. The one stick had apparently
been laid in the groove of the rail be-
tween the ball and the flange. A
short piece of quick fuse with cap at
tached had been laid on the rail so
that when the engine struck the cap
the explosion followed almost imme-
diately.
The matter was at once reported to
the police headquarters and the sher-
ifs office. 1t is thought that the ex-
plosive used might have been a part of
that stolen from the Hotter powder
mag azine recently, but there was not a
suffi cient trace of it discovered to make
sure whether it was or not.
The finding of stick of dynamite
on the track near Bearmouth several
days ago, another near Blossburg more
recently and the attempt of Tuesday
has convinced the authorities that it
is all the work of the same persons or
person.
There are already confined in the
Helena Jail two men who are accused
of having knowledge of the dynamite
outrages perpetrated near Livingston
and Bozeman several weeks ago. The
officials claim to have a strong case
against them and the theory has been
advanced that the parties who have
made the more recent attempts are
friendly to them.
Officers have been working on the
late case since shortly after it occur
red, but so far no arrests have been
made. There were quite number of
passengers on the train Tuesday night
and all were badly frightened by the
shock of the explosion and the crash of
breaking glass. None was injured
