The Death of Mrs. McDade.

A sorrowful shock was conveyed to
the many sincere friends of the Butler
and McDade families by the recent death
of Mrs. Nina Butler McDade, at the
Shreveport Sanitarium. This loveable
young woman, wife of Mr.. r. E. Nc
Dade, was i'll but short while-life's
duties and joys ending swiftly, and with
peculiar sadness.
Mrs. McDade (Nina Josephine Butler)
was the youngest daughter of Capt. and
Mrs. Pickens Butler. Born in this COM
munity, on July i6, 1870, she had at
tanned happy womanhood here, claiming
the birthright of high family connection
and the attractive attributes of person
and character which were her individual
charm.
On April 10, 1901, she was welded to
Mr.. Ross E. McDade. The coming of a
beautiful child had frightened this
union, and, in the close circle OF the
home, Mrs. McDade's sweet influence
was pre-eminent. Bereft of her pres
ence, that home is robbed of it's bright
ness to-day: its inmates, in sorrow,
"watch and watt
To the hearts grieveusly bowed by the
passing of this loveable young woman,
profound sympathy is extended. x.

Thomas Jefferson invented the mod
ern plow. There were plows, of course,
thousands of years before the time OF
the Sage Of Monticello, but he first
laid down the mathematical principles
that unuerlie the construction of the
plow and so enabled any blacksmith to
make one. A pillow consists Of two
wedges, cutting and lifting wedge.
and Jefferson discovered and enunciat-
ed the proportions of each and the re-
lations each bore to the other. Before
his day no two smiths made plows
alike. Now they are all made in ac-
cordance with mathematical formula.

BANK OFFICIALS CHANGED.
New Names Appear on Yellowstone
| /I Nationals Roster.

"
,/eAfter having been prominently iden-
titled with the banking interests OF
: the city for more than 20 years,
George A. Griggs has retired from
that business in an active capacity.
His retirement dates back to last
Wednesday, when his connection with
the Yellowstone National as cashier
ceased.
On that day the bank held its an
nual meeting and a new board OF
directors was elected, consisting OF
"a. L. Babcock, H. E. Armstrong, F. B.
Connolly, Edward Cardwell and Peter
Larson. Immediately afterward the
directors met and chose the executive
officers. These are the ones: A. l..
Babcock, president; Peter Larson,
vice president; F. B. Connolly, cash
Ter; E. Fl. Hollister, assistant cashier.
Mr.. Connolly succeeds Mr.. Griggs
as cashier and Mr.. Larson is the
successor to David Fratt as vice pres
ident. The last named gentleman
has disposed of his stock in the bank,
his holdings having been taken by
some of the other stockholders.
&c The retiring cashier came to Bill
ings in 1883 to enter the employ OF
Stebbins, Post & Mund, firm that
conducted a private bank. Subse-l
quently he became connected with the
bank of Bailey & Billings, from which
institution sprang the Yellowstone
National He remained with the new
bank continuously until his retire
ment last Wednesday. What his plans
for the future are has not been
learned.

CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.

offense Named In Warrant for "Brick"
i Johnson's Arrest.
Sheriff Shackleford Of Wallowa
county, Oregon, arrived in the city
Wednesday night for the purpose OF
taking back Brick" Johnson, for
whom he held requisition from the
governor of Oregon on a felony
charge. AS stated by the sheriff,
Johnson is to be tried tor an assault
with intent to kill, made, it is alleged,
On none other than the sheriff himself,
but for all this, Mr.. Shackleford is
inclined to make rather light of the
matter. He said that the prisoner
had been arrested sometime before
for disturbing the peace and while
confined in the city Jail of Enter
prise, small town, he made his es-
cape. The marshral attempted to
stop him, but Johnson paid no atten-
tion to his commands to halt and the
marshal shot him several times. In
due time Johnson recovered and re-
turned to the range, having been
cowboy At later time he went
back to Enterprise and while under
the influence of liquor started to
have time" Remembering his for
mer treatment by the marshal, he
did not feel any too friendly toward
that individual and presumably also
was inclined to feel unfriendly toward
all other officers. At least the sher-
iff expressed himself as believing
chat way for when he attempted. to
arrest Johnson, the latter turned
loose" on him and made his escape.
Mr. Shackleford said that Johnson
was not a bad man and had 1t not
been for the fact that he was drunk
at the time the officer expressed HIM
self as confident he would not have
resisted arrest to the extent he did,
in truth there would have been, NO
occasion for his apprehension. Be-
cause of the circumstances connected
with the affair, the sheriff said he did
not anticipate that the prisoner would
be harshly dealt with when tried; to
use the officers own words, he would
come out all right

WANT MONTANA TRADE.
Arizona stockmen Form Association
for That Purpose.


Press dispatches to eastern news
papers from Phoenix, Ariz., under last
Mondays date announce that the Ari-
zona Cattlemen's association has been
organized into permanent body in
which every county in the territory
is represented. Affiliation will be
made with the National Livestock as
sociation.
One of the objects in view by the
organizers is to secure better shipping
facilities and rates to the north, as
they are desirous of opening trade
with the rangers of Montana, Wyom-
ing and the other cattle growing re-
gions of the northwest, where the
markets have been closed to stock
from Arizona and Sonora for the
last four years. They claim that a
discrimination in favor of Texas cat
tie has made it impossible for stock
men from their territory to compete
with the sales from Texas.
The association placed itself on
record as endorsing the Independent
Packers association, recently organic
ed at Kansas City.
