a big building used as a combination
CARPENTER shop and dwelling, was ia
tally burned Sunday night. 1t is

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMITS.
SION BEGINS HEARING.
TEN MILLIONS AT STAKE
~. p. Official Says Livestock and
Dead Freight Shipments Come
Together.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-The interstate
commerce commission today began
testimony in three cases involving
rates on livestock from western and
southwestern points to Chicago and
terminal points on the Mississippi
river. About Sic, OF 900 a year in
freight rates are said to be at stake.
j. w. Grueber Of Omaha, general SUI
perintendent of the Union Pacific rail-
way system, was a witness. "The
heaviest cattle shipments are made
about the same time of the year as
the dead freight Shipments" said Mr..
Grueber, land in the same direction.
This makes the empty cars which
must be returned very great. We can
but rarely attain the schedule of
speed fixed for stock trains and there
is the added expense of caring for
stock which is on the road longer
than it should be-
Mr.. Grueber was closely questioned
regarding the inability to u the
stock trains through on time on ac-
count of density of traffic, when, by
his own admission, passenger trains
maintained a schedule of % to 40
miles an hour.
(Which is the more expensive, to
run these trains fast or slow?' asked
Mr.. Prouty.
"Of course, fast running is more ex-
pensive on account of fuel and wear
of machinery" replied the witness.
"Then you r really saving money
by this inability to keep up to the
schedule with these trains, are you
not?" he was asked.

physician, states hal the injured
man cannot possibly o and that

ORDERS IGNORED.
President Means to Look Into Viola.
ton of Instructions.


Washington, Nov. 14.-lt appears
from developments today that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's directions regarding
the employment of sewing women at
the Schuylkill arsenal in Philadelphia
have not been carried into effect.
Michael Francis Doyle Of Philadel-
phia, representing these sewing
women, called on the president today
and informed him that his orders had
not been needed; that only a part OF
the the work had been restored to the
women.
He pointed out that the making OF
trousers, which amounts to about
$4,000 a year, had been withheld
from the women in direct contraven-
ton of the presidents order. After
hearing Mr.. Doyle's statement the
president sent a note to the war de-
partment asking for a report on the
matter, and calling attention to the
fact that he hid directed that the work
be given to the women.
He indicated his intention of ascer-
tanning who had violated his instruc-
lions and why they had been vio-
lated.

INSTANT RELIEF.
Methods Applied BY President in Beef

Methods Applied BY President in Beef
. Inspection Service.
Vfom Wednesdays Daily.
Probably nowhere else in the north
west is President Roosevelt more
popular than in the eastern part OF
| Montana, where the president as a
cowboy rode the range for a number
of years some 20 years ago. Many OF
the voters in this section who knew
Roosevelt in those days and sat
around the camp fire with him, or
changed shift with him on the night
cattle herd, recalled Roosevelt the
cowboy and Roosevelt the president
only a few days before election when
an inspector of the agricultural de-
partment tried to use arbitrary and
unbusinesslike methods in the ms sec.
ton of beef cattle driven to Wibaux
for shipment to Chicago.
The owners of the herd, after argu-
ing the point with the inspector for
two days, went direct to the president
by wire, stating what the federal in
spector was doing to them in the way
of applying red tape methods and
which was costing the owners of the
herd thousands of dollars. Notwith-
standing the fact that the message
from the cattle shippers was sent only
two days before the election, when
Roosevelt was probably wrestling
with matters in which he was person
ally much concerned, the red tape OF
the inspector in the field was cut into
pieces and business methods applied
in inspection of the herd by order Of
the president.
The little matter down at Wibaux.
as above related, is an illustration
why President Roosevelt is so close
to the hearts of the people in this
section.

HELENA LABoRER's LUCK,
Picks Up sos Nugget While Loading

a Wagon With Gravel.
Helena, Nov. 15.-That the gold in
Last Chance gulch has moi been all
exhausted was Illustrated Saturday
afternoon, when Joe Humans, a driver
in the employ of the city street de.
partment, picked up a nugget weigh.
ing three and al quarter ounces and
valued at almost SOS.
Mr.. Humans was engaged in loading
a wagon with gravel, filling the
wagon from the old placer workings
on West Main street. He was just in

gravel into the wagon when the mug.
get caught his eye and he made haste
as large as a mans thumb and the
thory is that it vas forked out OF the
sluice boxes in the early days.
The ground where the nugget was
found was worked in the '6Ois by Dar
vid Merritt, Ben Benson, John Stuart
and others and was very rich in coarse
gold. The bedrock was rough lime
stone and was quite deep. All of the
gravel was taken out by mea OF
drifting, and was hoisted to the sur
face by a windlass and then dumped
into the sluice. The forker then threw
out the gravel with an eight-tined fork
and the nuggest was probably thrown
out, it being too big to pass between
the tines of the fork and was left to
be found many years later by Mr.. Ru-
mans, who is well pleased with his
luck.

William West on Trial.
AT the conclusion of the Buckley
trial yesterday afternoon hearing in
the Ease of State VS.. William West,
charged with having assisted Buckley
in the robbery of the safe of the Bill
ings Brewing company, was taken up.
Because of the fact that the testimony
in this case is practically the same
as that in the one which preceded it,
none of the jurors who served in the
first was eligible to sit on the sec
ond and a special venire for 20 names
was issued. So many were found to
be disqualified that a second and then
a third venire had to issue, making
in all 20 names that had to be drawn
from jury box No. 8 before a jury
could be secured. The following men
were finally sworn to try the case:
A. Coll, ]. S. Simineo, w. j. Stod-
dard, ]. M. V. Cochran, Silas Stone,
Louis Beaudette, H. M. Ramsey, Will
liam Mccullough, A. p. Hart, Fred
Darling, Charles Spear and Joseph
Kinnick.
The crime with which West is
charged was committed sometime dur
ing the night of May Is, 1904, when
the brewery safe was robbed Of jew
elry, money and valuable papers ag-
gregating a large amount. The same
night the safe of the steam laundry
was also blown open and two watches
and other valuables taken. It is be-
lieved that both safes were robbed by
the same parties.
Still One More.
When the case against West is dis
posed of a third defendant remains
to be tried for completely in the burg
larry. He is Patrick Griffin. 1t is be-
lieved that little testimony has been
secured to show his guilt. Should it
be decided not to try him or should
he be acquitted, he will be turned
over to the sheriff of Sweet Grass
county, who holds a warrant for him
the charge of forgery. The latter
case is said to be conclusive and his
conviction is confidently expected.
Griffin is an old offender at the for
gerry game. He served one term on
a conviction of that Alfonso committed
in this county. Then he was going
under a different name.

BUCKLEY CONVICTED OF BURG.
Larry IN FIRST DEGREE.
AN ALLEGED PAL ON TRIAL
William West, Supposed Accomplish
Of Edward Buckley, Facing
a Jury.
From Tuesdays Daily.

When Ed. Buckley made up his
mind that he could convince a jury
of his innocence Of completely in the
burglary and safe robbery with which
he stood charged he very evidently
did not make proper allowances for
the differences of opinion hat some
times exist beaween men. That differ
ence is responsible for the position in
who sat in his trial and heard the
testimony the state had to offer could
not see things his way and they found
him guilty of burglary in the first de-
gree, leaving the matter of fixing the
sentence to the discretion of the court.
The verdict was arrived at this
morning, and it required only a short
time for the jurors to arrive at a on
clusion. Buckley was remanded to
await sentence.
The crime of which he has been on
victed is participation in the blowing
of the safe of the Billings Brewing
company, the night Of May Is, last.
William West and Patrick Griffin
stand charged with having been his
accomplices.
West On Trial.
AS Don as the Buckley case had
been disposed of, the county attorney
called that of State VS.. William West.
Because of the fact that the testimony
to be offered by the prosecution is
practically the same as in the action
preceding it the jurors who sat in the
first were disqualified and it became
necessary to issue a special venire
for 20 additional names. These were
drawn from jury box No. 3. Service
vas made at at 2 o'clock this after
noon the task Of empanelling a jury
to try West was begun.
Docket Notes.
In the case of Quinlan VS.. Quinlan,
an action for divorce, which had been
on the docket for a long time, final
judgment was rendered this morning.
Mo defense was attempted and a de-
cree was ordered in plaintiffs favor
on the proof submitted.
H. l.. Grant and Thomas E. Kiethley,
members of the regular panel of the
trial jury, were excused for the term
this morning. 1t was on their own
motion.
Dora T. Underhill was granted a
divorce from Oscar F. Underhill. A
double ground was alleged, cruelty
and failure to support. Custody of the
two minor children of the couple was
awarded to the plaintiff.

last II months has earned for the state
$10,000,000. His name is Prof. p. G.

Iowa farmers laughed at the idea

But they do not laugh now. Instead,

Prof. Holden talk, and they go away

a result, in large part, of following
his advice, they have raised about one
