LAST SUNDAYS HORROR.
FIafuI Slaughter and Carnage on the
" Ball Park.

Sorrow and anguish fill the hearts
OF Billings fandom and grief gnaws
at the vitals Of the rooters. Their
minds are depressed and their spirits
overshadowed. Words of consolation
are as mockery to them and they are
praying for the generous forgetfulness
OF oblivion. Could they, the wilder
ness would be their retreat and glad.
ly would they erase from their tor.
tured memory all recollection of last
Sundays game, if such it may be call.
ed. Ut was horror, a nightmare, a
huge, bulging, revolving thing, for
which as yet no name has been found
by any Of those who witnessed it.
Probably Miles City may be able to
find word or series of them that will
result in proper designation of the
travesty.
The first inning was all there was to
it, In that spasm the Milesians were
blanketed. The grandstand gave a
mighty roar and the fans composed
themselves for something little out
OF the ordinary. 1t came in the sec.
ond. and continued for five more al.
legged innings, but it was not what the
beginning promised.
Eddy started the balloon and eyery
time it came the turn OF a man wear
ing the Billings uniform it went high
er. Errors and bungles followed SO
fast that the scorer could not keep
a point on his pencil and finally ia.
tigue and disgust overcame him and he
was hauled off in an ambulance.
But why continue the grewsome tale
or go into sickening details. It was
simply awful diabolical, outrageous
vile. Only the good sense of Corcoran
prevented tragedy. With one SUI
preme effort, spurred on by shame
and desperation, he threw the ball
over the grandstaud in the first half
OF the eighth inning and walked off
the field. The slaughter was merci-
fully stopped, and the dead and dy.
ing were carried from the field.
There is vague sort of rumor
afioat that the score was something
like II or 18 to 3. But this is only
report. The real figures have been
suppressed.

COMMITTED TO ASYLUM.
James Hoe Becomes Suddenly and
Violently Insane.

Last Friday information was re-
ceived here that James Hoe, young
man whose home is in this city, had
become suddenly insane at Glendive.
Oscar, a brother Of the unfortunate
man, left for there and returned with
him Saturday morning. Up to that
time James had not manifested any
symptoms OF violence and he was
taken to the residence OF his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Hoe, where he
remained and spent much OF his time
sleeping. 1t was believed that the de-
rangement would prove to be only
temporary and arrangements were
made to keep him at home. Later in
the day, however, he began to mani
fest violence and before he could be
restrained had broken his bed into
kindling wood. He labored under the
delusion that his parents were bent
on killing him and it was with the
utmost difficulty that he could be re-
strained from doing injury to the
other members of the lamily.
For their own as we'll as his safety
the brother and father of the young
man tied him SO that he was help.
less, after which the sheriff's Office
was notified. Sheriff Hubbard and
Deputy Harding went to the house
and took him to Jail. Steps were then
taken to hold an inquiry.
Chairman Parker of the county COM
misioners and Doctors Lindsey and
Baxter conducted the examination.
Hoe was not in a condition to be taken
before the court and the doctors ex-
amined him in the Jail. They found
him to be the victim of hallucinations
and delusions and reported him to
be an unfit person to be permitted to
be at large. An order for his COM
mltment was issued and Sunday morn
ing Mr. Hubbard took him to the
asylum. He had become so violent
by this time that it was necessary to
handcuff him.
This is the second case of INSANITY
that has developed in the same fam.
lily. A year ago last May sister of
the man was found to be insane and
she is still in the asylum.

ITS ARTICLES ARE FILED
Company Organized by Local Men
and Large Amount Of Stock
Subscribed.

AS matters now seemingly present
themselves Billings capital and Bill
ings enterprise are to actualize
dream entertained by Butte for many
years-the construction of a railroad
between Butte and the Salmon river
region in Idaho. Repeatedly the men
OF Butte, assisted by the newspapers
OF the camp, have built such road on
paper but beyond this it has never
progressed. Now men from one OF
the "coW counties" say they will build
It and the great financial center of the
state will have no hand in it's build

- probably what it has most desired.

the proposed road will run in south

From this point it will bear northwest

Surveying is already in progress
and much field work has been done,
particularly on the Idaho side. The
headquarters of the engineering corps
are at Dillon and the presence of
the surveyors there has been the
cause OF much speculation and several
OF the old railroad companies have
been credited with being behind the
survey, but until now nobody has been
able to learn in whose interest the
men are working.

any apparent change Mr. Lord con-

to be considerably better and apparent

about an hour before he died, when
he suddenly grew much worse and
death came at $50 O'Clock.
Charles r. Lord was only on the
threshold of what promised to be a
vigorous and successful life. He was
born at Bar Harbor, Me-, July /, 1883.
With his parents, Mr. and Mrs R. ].
Lord, he came to Billings four years
ago. During part of that time he was
in the employ of the Northern Pacific
company, occupying a clerical posi-
tion at the freight depot, and also
worked in the postoff1ce. About three
months ago he received his appoint
ment as extra mail clerk and was
given a run on the Billings -Missoula
railway postoffice. He had passed an
excellent examination and was on the
list for regular appointment, which,
as already stated, came last Friday.
On that day he dictated his report
to the chief of the service and also
sent an excuse for his failure to 20 ont

The body was removed to Smiths

PoPE's LONG STRUGGLE WITH
DEATH is ENDED.
BLESSINGS HIS LAST WORDS
Dies With Whispered Benedctions
Upon Those kneeIng Around
the Deathbed.

Rome. July 2O.-Pope Leo Kill. is
dead
The last flicker of life expired at
four minutes past four this afternoon,
! and the pontiff now lies at rest.
The period of over two weeks that
Pope Leo passed in the shadow OF
death, was no less wonderful than lns
life.
His splendid battle against death
was watched the world over, was sym.
pathetic, with sympathetic attention,
| and was attended with tremendous
efforts to conquer the weakness by
the marvellous power of his mind.
The pleuro-pneumonla, with which
his holiness had been suffering was
scarcely so responsible for his death
as that inevitable decay of tissue
which ensues upon ninety-three years
of life
The tested steel which had bent so
often before human ills was bound
to break at last.
Tonight the emaciated and lifeless
frame which held so brave a spirit,
lies on bed in the Vatican.
The red damask coverlet rests light
ly over the body; the cardinals scar
let cape is about the shoulders, while
on his head has been placed the papal
hood of velvet, bordered with ermine.
A white silk handkerchief is bound
about his chin, and in the hands that
have blessed so many thousands has
been placed crucifix.
SO Pope Leo will remain until to-
morrow. watched by uniformed officers
of the noble guard and rough-clad
Franciscan penitentiaries, who will
keep ceaseless vigil until the burial
ceremonies.
Tomorrow the sacred college of car
dinals will assemble for the official
duty of pronouncing Pope Leo dead.
This sad function performed, the body
will be taken to the small throne room
adjoining the death chamber, where it
will be embalmed
The funeral ceremonies will extend
over nine days, the remains being re-
moved to the cathedral of Saint Pc
ter's, where they will lie in state. The
ultimate resting place of the dead
pontiff will be in the magnificent
basilica of st. John Lateran
His Last Moments.
Pope LeO's final moments were
marked by that same serenity and de-
votion as when he was conscious; that
calm intelligence which is associated
with his twenty-five years pontificate
still governed.
His was no easy death. An hour be-
fore dying, turning to Lapponi and
his devoted valet, Pho Centra, he mur-
INJURED: THE pain | suffer is most
terrible" Yet his partlng words were
not OF the physical anguish he suffer
ed, but were whispered benedictions
upon the cardinals and his nephews,
who knealt at his bedside, and the last
look of his almost sightless eyes was
toward the great ivory crucifx hang.
ing in the death chamber.
Practically all the cardinals now in
Rome, kneeling at the bedside, watch
ed the passage of his soul. Earlier
in the day Cardinal Serafino Vanutelli
had impressiyely pronounced the alb
solution in articulo mortis.
The condition of his holiness varied
from agony to coma. Wishing to re-
lieve him, Doctor Mazzoni suggested
that morphine should be administered,
but Doctor Lapponi. dias, not agree,
fearing that the end might be quick
ened.
