Erection of a beet sugar factory in
Billings lis now as much of a certainty
as it is given any project of human
design not actually accomplished to
be. Only one doubt exists, and this
is not a very serious one-whether
the factory will be completed in time
to take care of the 1905 crop of beets.
1t is hoped and believed that this will
be done.
This morning Colonel H. w. Rowley
who, with P. B. Moss and the Honor
able Christian Yegen, went to Chi
cago something over a week ago for
the purpose of consulting with the
eastern parties who have become in
terested in the. project, returned. The
news he brought was of the most
cheerful nature. To The Gazette he
said that practically everything had
been arranged SO far as the factory
was concerned. AS before stated, the
only doubt remaining was as to the
company's ability to complete it in
time to begin operations next year.
A Local Concern.
| Colonel Rowley also said that to all
intents and purposes the company
would be a home institution, as it had
been decided to organize here and
place Billings men at it's head. Or
ganization will be perfected within a
few weeks, after which the question
of site and other matters will be
definitely determined.

MORE FRAUDS uNEARTHED.
Fresh Evidence Of Ballot Box stuffing
in Denver.

Denver, Dec 23.-M. M. Hanna, q
handwriting expert, submitted to the
supreme court today his report on the
ballots from precinct 13, ward 3, this
city, which was opened yesterday by
order of the court in the contempt
proceedings against Clarence Dixon.
one of the clerks at the November
election.
Mr.. Hanna reported that of 311 bal
lots in the blk the headings on 1876
were written by five persons. The
heading Democratic" on 102 ballots,
he said, was written by one person,
and 16 republican, 10 democratic and
seven socialist ballots were written by
four persons. At least "a ballots were
SO folded that it was evident that they
could not have been placed in the box
through the aperture in the top used
by the voters The expert also noted
that while there were 80 republican
ballots in the box, the poll book gave
the number as 63.
Warrants were issued against five
men for contempt of court in this pre-
cinct. Dixon is the only one under
arrest, the others having fled.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 23.-The admir-

printed by the London Daily Tele-
graph today in dispatch from Chez
Foo that eight Russian torpedo boat
destroyers have escaped from Port Ar
thur. There is no attempt, however,
tn disguise the fact that confirmation
of the report will be welcomed intelli-
gence It is quite possible that ar
rangements were made for the de-
stroyers, with the aid OF a collier, to
fly and join the second Pacific squad
ron, to which they would constitute a
powerful reinforcement.

JURY IN NAN PATTERSON CASE
DISAGREE.
TAKEN BACK TO PRISON
Hopes Of Defendant to Spend Christ
mas at Home Shattered-News
May Kill Mother.

New York, Dec. 23.-Fainting in her
fathers arms, her frame quivering
with the accumulated suffering OF
months of waiting, Nan Patterson to-
day heard the announcement that the
jury trying her case for the murder OF
Caesar Young had disagreed. Soon
she was revived and, sobbing hyster-
ically and hardly able ito walk, was
half led, half carried, back to her cell
in the Tombs. Her vision OF Christ
mas at home, so persistent the past
few days, was gone before the uncer-
ta;nty as to what the next step in her
case might be.
Before her trial the district attorney
offered to accept bail in 100000, but
this could mot be raised and the prose
cutting officers declined to indicate to-
day what their attitude on this point
will be. District Attorney Jerome
said he had nothing whatever to say
at this time as to whether he would
agree to lower bail or whether he
would accept bail at all. The jury
stot,d six for acquittal and six for con
viction, but SO far as can be learned
there was no juror in favor OF first
degree verdict.
Sentimental Interest Deep.
The keenest disappointment was
felt in tae court room and in the grea'
crowd outside when the disagreement
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1904-12-27

was announced. Not since the Molin
eaux case has there been so much in
terest in criminal trial in this city,
and many OF those persons present
hoped for verdict of acquittal.
Her father, who has been by her
side ever since the trial began and
whose tender care and devotion to her
have been the most touching feature
of the trial, tried to comfort her, but
his sad ministrations were of no avail.
Don't worry. little girl, it will come
outall right yet" he said.
Nan Patterson retired to her cot in
the Tombs half an hour after mid
night. 1t had been reported from
the little "pen" over the court room
where she had spent long hours OF
waiting yesterday and last evening
that she was on the verge OF nervous
collapse, and that even her aged
father, who had been constantly at
her side through all her trouble, was
unable to calm her. According to the
matron of the Tombs, however, the
girl had hardly touched her cot in the
cell before she was asleep. Her sleep
was troubled and she awoke many
times during the night, but on the
! whole got a much better nights rest
than might have been expected under
the circumstances.
Becomes Hysterical.
This morning Miss Patterson asked
for news from the jury. She became
hysterical while awaiting an answer,
and the Tombs warden went to see
her. He assured her that there was
no news and that she could not hear
anything until it was announced in
the court room. Instead OF assuring he1
this news made her worse. She had
a'severe attack OF hysteria
'How can l ever face those dread
full men again?" the warden said she
repeatedly cried, the fear of going
back to the court overshadowins
everything else.
Doctor Levin, the Tombs physician
was sent for in hurry and prescribed
for her. About this time her fathe
arrived ait the Tombs. Owing to he
state of collapse he was allowed to g
to see her. With his presence ant
the efforts of the physician she i'm

COLONEL R0WLEY'S GOOD NEWS
Company Will Be Organized Within Few Weeks
Building Operations to Begin Inn
mediately Thereafter.

Mr.. Moss decideu to visit his for
mer home in Missouri before return
ing to Billings consequently his re-
turn will be delayed few days. Mr.
Shaw, who is the promoter, has gone
to New York on business connected
with the enterprise. He will hasten
matters there and as soon as possible
will return to Billings. 1t is expected
that before then Mr.. Moss will have
returned. Accompanying Mr.. Shaw
will probably be some OF the eastern
parties, when an organization will be
perfected and the first steps will then
be taken in the direction OF active
operations.
Why the Possible Delay.
An enormous amount OF machinery
will be required to equip the factory.
Much of this will have to be built,
which may cause the possible delay OF
which cognizance has been taken. To
transport the equipment will necessi-
tate the use of no fewer tnan 130
cars. 1t the manufacturers can pos
sibly do SO, the machinery will be de-
livered to the company in season tc
begin the manufacture OF sugar nexl
fall. AS orders to "rusn'' will be
given, it is believed this can be done
At all events, 1T is regarded as quite
likely that before the coming year
