of the new crop the mill will be started
up again and run to it's full capacity.
Next Monday the Billings Woman's
club will begin the club year, when the
first meeting will be held. The clubs
calendar has been issued from The
Gazette job rooms and is a beautiful
and artistic production. It contains
the roster of active and honorary
members and the full programme. A
new department has been added to the
studies of the club, known as the
Current Topic, which, as suggested
by the name, deals with current
events. It promises to be highly popular
and interesting as well as instruc-
tive.
A circular letter has been received
from the commission houses of Chi
cago doing business at the Union
Stock yards in which they agree to
buy livestock Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Fridays the same as on Mondays
and Wednesdays, and to pay full mar
llet. rates. This has been done in
order to prevent the congestion which
has heretofore resulted because of the
immense rush of animals on the last
two days named. They ask the CO.
operation of shippers, saying that the
new arrangement will be to the equal
benefit of both.
A late acquisition to the city's pcpu-
lation, and one that will undoubtedly
prove valuable, is the Reverend J. T.
Webb, who arrived yesterday to fill
the pastorate of the Christian church.
The gentleman's home has recently
been at Sedalia, Mo. He has the
reputation of being an able and ear
nest worker and has been pastor Of
some large congregations, filling pull
pits at Camp Point and Olney, Ill. He
was also teacher of voice culture
in the Christian university at Canton,
Mo. He will deliver his first sermon
next Sunday morning.
Nesterday the strength of the laws
protection was removed and it be-
came lawful to hunt various kinds of
game. Taking advantage of the open
season, several hunters made early
morning sallies from the city in quest
of ducks. None succeeded in getting
nor than a few, as the large flights
have not yet begun. 1t is expected
that the usual heavy migration to the
south will begin soon and as the sea-
son is regarded as having been a
good one for breeding some rare sport
is anticipated by the men with shot
guns and long nosed dogs.
petition for letters of admins
tration of the estate of A. ". Hall has
been filed by George Mather with the
clerk OF the district court. The petit
TONER recites that Hall died in this
county June l., 1904, leaving an estate
consulting of a promissory note ex-
ecuted by Wright Harvey for 5000
and interest, and a sum of money due
for wages by Frank Treble of Mussel-
shell, the exact amount of which the
petitioner does not know. 1t is alleg-
ed that the full value of the estate
does not exceed $500. It is believed
that the deceased left no relatives in
the state.
Today an order for the sale Of prop
erty belonging to the estate of Ben
Kopp, lately adjudged a bankrupt, on
his own petition, was made by Ref
cree Firth. Excluded from the order
is a lease held by Kopp on state lands
and also some buildings and fencing
erected thereon. This the bankrupt
transferred to Joseph Sims and is
now in litigation, it being commended
by the creditors of Kopp that the
transfer a for the purpose of de-
frauding them and that no equivalent
was received. It is also further al
legged that it was made within four
months preceding the date of the fl
ing of the petition in bankruptcy.
