NO TiDINGs RECEIVED FROM r. A.
WILLIAMS.
is NOT AT SAN FRANCISCO
Chief Of Police Wires He Left There
About Week Aqo for Salt
Lake City.

Thomas A. Williams, clerk OF the
district court for Yellowstone county
is still among the missing, SO far as
his family and immediate friends are
concerned. Since his letter to Deputy
Dunno, written at San Francisco on
the 5th of the present monun, nothing
has been heard from him and his
whereabouts are as much of a mys-
terry as at any time since he suddenly
sank out of sight and hearing. Some
of his more loyal friends still insist
that he will turn up, while others are
OF the opinion that he will never re-
turn, chat he has left for guod and
all time.
The ugly rumors that began to
circulate last week are still actively
flying about and have Deen increased
by the addition of others. AS yet no
direct charges by responsible per-
sons seem to have been made and all
that is to be heard is hearsay One
of the latest reports has it that the
missing man is indebted to Handel
Bros. of Musselshell to the extent OF
$3.50, money said to have been given
to- him for the purchase of scrip.
This transaction is alleged to have
occurred at least three years ago.
Absolutely nothing is known con
although no charges of a shortage in
that direction have been made, and
until an actual examination of his
books and accounts can be had, in
case he does not return, it will be i'm
possible to state in what condition
they are. Taking the word of the
state examiner, no thorough examinal
ton has ever been made of any court
clerk in the state. That official is
credited with the statement that to
make complete investigation of the
affairs of one of those officials implies
a task of from two to four weeks.
There are 26 such clerks in Montana,
and as the examiner is supposed to in
vestigate the accounts of all the other
county and state officers it will be read
lily seen that of necessity the examina-
tions into the offices of the clerks can
only at best be superficial, unless
specific demand is made for an in
vestigation of any particular one.
Left San Francisco.
Wednesday Mr.. Dunno sent a
lengthy dispatch to the chief of police
at San Francisco giving complete
description of the missing man, sup
plementing it with the statement that
since the first had been sent Williams
was known to have shaved off his
moustache. Directions were also given
as to several places in the city where
he was likely to be found. In reply

the following telegram was received
last evening:
"San Francisco, March "a, 19O4.-E.
w. Dunno, Billings, Mont: Thomas
A. Williams left this city for Salt Lake
City about week ago.
GEORGE w. ALTMAN,

Receipt of the message recalled to
Mr.. DUNES mind the fact that on a
number of occasions Williams had told
him that he believed he had not been
given credit for payments made on a
mortgage held by Salt Lake parties
on his homestead. Putting this to.
gether with the information given by
the San Francisco chief of police,
Mr.. Dunno thought Mr.. Williams had
gone to the Mormon capital for the
purpose of looking into the matter Of
the mortgage and thence had gone
to Denver, and that Williams would
show up in a few days. Still the
mans continued silence troubles his
deputy not little and he is at a loss
how to account fer it,
Mother Makes Inquiry.
The mother of the missing man
resides at st. Paul and in the newspa-
pers of that city read an account OF
his disappearance. She applied to
the assistant general manager of the
Northern Pacific, Mr.. Kimberly, an
old friend of the family, for assist.
ance in an attempt to learn some
thing concerning her son. In response
Mr.. Kimberly yesterday telegraphed
to M. L. Hoyt, the company's local
agent, for all information he could
give concerning the disappearance.
Mr.. Hoyt learned what facts he could
and in turn sent them to Mr. Kimber-
1y for transmission to Mrs. Williams.
Family Is Distracted.
AS may be supposed, the family
o. Williams is suffering untold mental
agony, and his wife is said to be bor-
dering qsA collapse. Neither she
nor any ois the others believes that
he is absenting himself Intentionally
and all hold to the belief that some acci-
dent befell him and that he was MUIR
dered or else is sick somewhere and
unable to communicate with them.
Daily they make inquiry of Mr.. Dunno,
hoping against hope that he may be
able to give them some information
or news OF an encouraging nature.
All he can do is to hold out hope to
them and to look for a favorable
solution of the mystery that is now
causing them untold agony and suffer
ing.
Forfeited His Office.
Much speculation is to be heard rs
to the probable effect the continued
absence of Williams will have on his
tenure of Office. The law on the sub
ject is plain and without qualification.
Section 1926 of the political code says
that no county officer may leave the
state for longer period than 60 days,
with the consent of the county COM
missioners Absence from the state
for any period without such consent,
results in forfeiture of the Office.
A special meeting of the county
commissioners is to be held in April,
when asnunher of matters will come
up for consider, tion. Although moth
ing has been given out by any of the
members of, the board to warrant the
assertion that action will be taken
in that direction, il. seems to be a
general impression that unless Will
hams returns before then the board
will carry out the law and declare
his cffice vacant

SHALL A FEW RULE MANYa

Democratic papers are saying "a large
number OF Democrats left the party for
the time being and championed the cause
lf The gold standard But these papers
neglect 10 say that several million
Democrats chung to their party and went
down with colors lying. Now, these
papers are engaged in saying that these
several million should come to the way
to OF the thinking Of the other fellows.
In other words, they do not advocate the
principle that the majority should rule,
md in the Democratic case that majority
in reference 10 the factions in the party
is overwhelmingly in favor of those who
stuck to the party and did not desert
like the other fellows in most trying
hour. At last are these Democratic
papers openly advocating the principle
that the few should rule the many. They
may try to say that it was the viii OF
the party because the national convcn-
zion had it so, but there they are as
badly mistaken as they are about the
Democratic clique convention here. Every
one who has a grain of common sense
knows that the people in the party were
not for Short, but the clique gave him
the nomination all the same. In this
connection. too, our memory has been
refreshed by a Democrat, who called our
attention to the fact that there was
storm of noes in the convention, when
the motion was made to make Shorts
nomination unanimous. That itself was
sufficient to satisfy most men that it i

Democratic clique but that the party and

Should u person be suddenly afflicted

hardly likely that any one Of a crowd
Of people who would gather about the

what to do in order to render Immediate
assistance to-fhe sufferer OF course i'm
mediate arrangements should be made
to remove the patient to mis- home or 70

It is in the knowledge that the des-
semination OF facts through the medium
Of the press does in some ways and at
various times prove helpful and useful
that we print here the advice Of n prom
inent Cincinnati physician to those who
would assist a person who might be
stricken:
'sIn cnse Of sunstroke," says the ply
sician, sfremove all the clothing except
the underwear, after getting the person
into the shade. Do not rush the patient
to hospital, but save the life right
in the street or any other place where
he may have falIan. Attach hose to
faucet and play the stream on the pa
tient, beginning at the feet and working
upward to the chin, being careful not
to get the water into the mouth. As
the water approaches the upper part Of
the body the patient gasps like per-
son wading into cold body of water.
AS the water comes up it fills the lungs
with cool air, which is the thing that is
desired. The thing to do is to act quick
ly and anybody can revive stricken
person if he only thinks quickly and
only knows what to do, If a hose is not
handy. use a pail or bucket of water
When the patient regains consciousness
apply wet towels all over the body. He
can then he removed for medical treat
ment.s

nature-an executive committee holding

feature about it was that the committee

REGULATES IT'S BELIEF.

The plaincst case of senility that has
come to the notice of the public within
the last twelve months was that shown
IN what the Democratic organ in this
county passed OFF as its leading editorial
wednesday. 1t took complete somer-
sanlt from the attitude it has tried to
maintain the past year or so and vir-
-tually topped from the Democratic
faith to the opposite. It comes out
boldly declaring that the Democratic

iug TO tear asrnder the nation. It
claims Logan for the Democratic party
and yet Democratic papers all over the
country and Democrats every where
fought and voted against him, when ne
ran for the vice presidency on the Re
publican ticket. It goes 50 far as to
say now the gold standard ought to be
accredited to the Democratic party; thus
retracting all it said on chat issue the
past two Democratic campaigns, except
a short period, when it led in the fight
for the adoption OF the gold standard
by the Democratic party. Denunciation
Of every description was indulged in by
it on the money question four years ago
and until within the past month or so.
The gold standard policy was declared
.Jefersonian and un-Demoeratic by
it and all manner Of argument was ad-
vanced to prejudice the people against
that system. But now that sheet comes
along and says its party should be given
credit for the gold standard and that
that standard is right. We are glad 70
know that it has at last conceded that
this great Republican measure, which
saved the country at time when it was
threatened by heresy, which was fully
subscribed to by the News, as right but
it must not be so foolish in its dotage
as to believe that the people will give
the Democratic party the credit. Its ad
mission that tine gold standard is right
is the only evidence of the manifesto
tions of any sense in the palsied look
ing thing.
