Storage House.

The committee on Improvements
and city property made report in
regard to the matter OF a building
for storing the street sprinklers and
tools. Recommendation was made
that building be erected on the lot
in block ia, recently purchased by
the city. 1t was further advised that
proposals be invited for the construc-
ton of a building 25xbU feet, of II
inch wallis, 12 feet high in front, slop-
ing to 10 feet in the rear, with double
doors, sheathed with iron and OF suf-
ficient width to admit of the passage
of the sprinklers, the walls to be OF
good, hard burnt brick and the roof
to be covered with Carey's roofing.
After some discussion the matter
was referred.

are situated in Special Improvement
District No 1 and were covered in
the transfer by the county treasurer
ito the city of the lots sold for delin-
quent taxes levied upon the property
of the Minnesota & Montana Land

the county to the city, June 5, 1902,
was erroneous, as the lots had been or
iginally decided by the company to him
in 1883 and that the special tax was
paid in 1896.

RATHER DOUBTFUL FAME.
Alleged opal" Of Tracy Serving Sen

A man said TO have been pal
of Harry Tracy, when that noted out
law was in Billings, six or seYa.i
years ago, is at present uclng an
the city, having been sentenced by
Judge Mann yesterday for vagrancy.
His name is John Mccarthy and he
arrived in town the day before
In company with a woman and
two chilren he came from the south,
saying he was on his way to Red
Lodge, where he claimed to have
friends who would be able to secure
employment for him in the mines of
dered onto the south side and called
at the place kept by Mary Tobin. With
about the last cent he had he bought
bottle OF beer and proceeded to
make himself agreea BILE to his hostess.
He greatly admired the numerous
diamond rings she wore and while
preLenQ1nS TO make a. close eXamlnd-
ton of them, so the woman said, sud-
denly pulled her hand to his mouth
and sought to bite one of the stones
from it's setting. The woman proved
too strong for him and after strug-
gle managed to free herself from his
grasp. She notified Policeman Mowre
of the incident and the officer ar
rested the fellow.
When arraigned yesterday Mrs. To
bin did not appear against him and
a complaint charging Mccarthy with
vagrancy was entered against him
To this he pleaded guilty and was
sentenced as already stated.
! The woman and children with whom
he has been travelling seemed to be
in mortal fear of the fellow and some
doubt exists as to whether any cere
mony was ever performed that gave
the man the right to call her his wife
In the opinion of the police he be
guiled the woman with specious prom
Uses and once having got her into
his power she has been afraid tt
leave him. 1t is very likely, how
ever, that when he gets out of jai
he will find her gone.

GAME LAWS CONDENSED.
Animals That May and May Not Be
Killed.

Although they have been published
repeatedly, either in full or in part,
still it seems that considerable mis-
apprehension exists as to the provis-
ions OF the game laws, and as far as
can be learned some illegal hunting
is being done in consequence. In
response to several requests The Ga
zette again publishes a short synop-
sis of the laws.
The open season fol' prairie chick
ems, grouse and partridges began Au-
gust 10, but it is unlawful to Kill
ducks or geese until after September.
l. After that date deer, mountain
goats, mountain sheep and elk may
be killed until December |, but not
later. No person is permitted to
kill more than three deer and one
elk and sheep during the season.
The killing Of beaver, buffalo, an
telope, moose and caribou is abso-
luteiy prohibited, there being no
.'open" season for any OF those. Upon
conviction any person guilty OF kill
ing any of those animals may be pun
ished by Imprisonment for not more
than two years or less than six
months.
1t is also unlawful to kill or trap
quail, Chinese pheasants and turtle
doves. The punishment for doing so
is Imprisonment in the county jail
for not more than six months Or less
than 80 days, or by a fine of not less
than S25 or more than $500, or both
fine and imprisonment, being left op-
tional with the court hearing the
case.
All song birds, such as meadow
larl1s, blue birds, thrushes, orioles,
woodpeckers, mocking birds, snow
birds, goldfinch, cedarbirds, storks or
any of the small birds usually desig-
mated as "song BIRDS are protected
and it is made misdemeanor to kill
or trap any of them. The punishment
provided for violating this part OF
the laws is a fine of not less than
SIS nor more htan $100 and by i'm
prisonment in the county jail not to
exceed three months, or both fine and
Imprisonment.

MOVED WITH RAPIDITY IN ET
LAND CASE.
PLEA OF INSANITY FAILED
Defendant Found Guilty and sen
fenced to Long Term at
Deed Lodge,

Justice moved with sufficient celer
ity in the case of Even B. Etland
to satisfy the most exacting in their
demands for speedy vengeance on
those guilty of transgresslng the laws.
Taken from Billings Monday morn
ing to stand trial at Red Lodge for
murder, Wednesday afternoon found
him under a 3O-year sentence at Deer
Lodge. The jury that tried him was
out only little over an hour
The testimony brought out at the
trial differed but little from the pub
dale, the offense for which Etland was
tried.
In his own behalf the defendant tes-
, titled that Teasdale and the other
men had been calling him names and
beaten him and justified the shooting
on that account.
I One or two witnesses cowoborated
his statement as regards the calling
Of names. Others also testified that
the man had been acting in pecu-
/ liar manner, aus though not exactly
sound mentally. One OF them, Ell
Johnson, who conducts boarding
house at Huntley, said that Etland had
made a practice of carrying a revolver
while working on the Northern Pa
icfie section and that he had reported
him to the foreman for it and that
that latter had discharged Etland on
account of it,
Norman Stewart, the section fore
man referred to, deposed that Etland
had not been good worker and that
he had been peculiar; that when told
to do something he would apparently
/ not understand, but, would stand and
grin and smile, and then go and do
it.
Plea of Insanity
/ Doctor e. e. Doty was the princf
pal witness of the trial and was cali
, ed for the defense. He unhesitatingly
| deciared EllanQ UO De lHShne, aLS
insanity being congenital, and that in
his opinion the defendant was not
responsible for his acts. This testi-
mony was not contradicted by any
witness for the state, although some
of the officers who have had charge
of the prisoner said they had not
noticed anything in his department
that would cause them to regard him
as insane.
i The information against Etland
charged murder in the first degree,
but the jury returned a verdict OF
murder in the second degree and fixed
/ the punishment.

patrons will tax their memories a little the change will not be confusing for many days.
 To those holding the larger boxes known in the old postofice as the eight rows, it should be explained that the new boxes were enormously lettered by the equipment company but the error will bo corrected at onCa
 Another thing that will bc noticed by nearly everybody ard questions asked regarding it, is the fact that the ap2r- lures through which letters are drop ped for mailing, are placed very high up, at least very much higher than heretofore. A grown person, however can. reach the holes in the wall from the floor and for short people step has been placed. while for children there is another step still higher. Ail this looks unnecessary from the outside but there is q purpose in il. The letters drop into lccked drawers for that pIr- pose. these drawers being directly over the mailing table so when the bottom of the drawers is unlocked the letters drop on the mailing table ready for sizing up fer the cancellation of stamps. Everything is designed for the safety Of letters mailed and to facili- tate rapid work by the employees.
 Today will be q busy day of prepara- ticn and cleaning up. for there arc d number of things yet to be giV-n the finishing touches, but no embarrassing delays are expected and only d mini mum of confusion.

THE NEW POST OFFICE
Pointers to Patrons Respecting the
 Change to New Boxes.

This is house moving day for the Phoenix post office and a few words to it's patrons are in order by way of informing them somewhat respecting the new order of things and also in eX- planation of the somewhat chaotic conditions that will be unavoidable for a day or two.
 In the first place the postoffice will be closed this afternoon at 5:15. city time, the hour for closing the south bound mail. Between that hour and tomorrow morning the main part of the postoffice will be moved and placed in order as much as possible for the de- livery of the mail from the new quar-
 ters, corner of Center and Adams streets. The moving of a postoffice
 without inconvenience or delay to the public is difficult undertaking, made doubly so by the fact that the furn- ishings are new and the private boxes of the patrons are of new style, each of course having d new combination.
 It is likely that the changing of the
 boxes will cause more confusion than
 anything else but the postmaster has
 done everything possible to facilitate matters.
 It might be supposed, in the first place, that patrons would all have to take new numbers as we'll as having to learn new combinations, but except
 in few instances this has been avoid ed. From somewhere in the vicinity of number HOO and numbers above it,
 new numbers will be given patrons fol | the old ones, but below that point the 1 numbers are the same. But all will 1 have to learn new combinations. The l dial on the new boxes has no figures ! but instead of them an eight pointed star, the points being numbered b5 | the patron. mentally. from one to eight ! turning to the right. The combinations ! are made by turning from one point t 1 another and back again as in the ole l boxes. The combination of each bon l is recorded in a book for that pur- pose and on Tuesday morning ant
 thereafter as long as necessary, al official or clerk will be in the lobby | to give box holders their combina- | tions and instruct them in the use o 1 the lock It may be troublesome for { while but the system is simple and i
