Board of Trustees of the City Lii
brary Receive Reply From the
Famous Library Builder.
QUARTERS CHANGED TO CITY HALL
Room at the Public School Buildino
inadeQuate--FinanCial Coalition
Very Satisfactory.

The board of trustees Of the Lewis
town public library are trying to
"Chadwick" Mr.. Andrew Carnegie for
sufficient funds for good library
building f. e. Smith, president of
the beard, has received Il reply to the
application. Mr.. Carnegie's library
secretary requests that the board sub
nit statement of the amount of
money raised by taxation for the sup
port of library. This information
has been dispatched and further de-
velopmentS are awaited with great
interest.
The Carnegie donations are made
Systematically and the amount given
to the smaller cities depends upon the
amount which the city can raise for
the support Of the institution after
the philanthropic millionaire has
erected the building. Lewistown has
a large library fund, comparatively
speaking, and it is thought that if a
donation is received at all it will be
between the sums Of $500 and SlO,-
900. That will insure the erection of
a building which will be ample for all
library purposes in this city for years
to come. The city hall has cost but
$4,000, and library building Of that
size will be adequate, although if a
better building can be erected it will
be more to the credit of the city.
The present quarters of the public
library in the grade school building
are inadequate, and the board Of
trustees at their regular meeting, held
Thursday afternoon in the Office Of
f. E. Smith, decided to look for bet
ter location. A committee examined
the vacant room in the new city hall
and decided that it will be great
improvement over the present quar-
ters. AS soon us it is furnished, the
library will be moved up town.
Mrs. Sloan filed her resignation as
librarian and the board chose Mrs.
Albert Pfaus to succeed Mrs Sloan.
Other business OF routine nature
was transacted.

FREIGHT RATE LEGISLATION.
Teddy Diseases the Question of
FreiQht Rebates.

Washington, Dec. 21.-l'resident
Roosevelt discussed today with sew
eral callers proposed legislation re-
garding the question of railroad
freight rebates, and the question of
empowering the interstate commerce
commission with authority to adjust
freight rates where found to be ex-
cesSive. Among those who talked
with the president were Secretary
Morton and E. P. Bacon, chairman of
the executive committee of the inter-
state commerce law committee. The
president is anxious that legislation
in the interest of such measures be
enacted as soon as practicable, and
the matter has been considered by
him with many of his recent callers.
It was stated TODAY by one Of the
presidents callers that Attorney Gen.
eral Moody was now engaged in the
preparation of a bill which substan-
italy would embody the views Of the
administration on the question, and
the measure would be presented to
congress probably soon after the holi-
day recess.
The president has announced that
the bill he is willing to support must
be fair to both the railroads and the
people. He believes that the initial
steps toward the desired legislation
should be taken at the present session
and, if possible. that the legislation
proposed should be crystalizcd into
law at this time.

SHEEP ARE SLAUGHTERED.
Dastardly Deed Committed by Masked
Men Near BridQer.

Brldger, Dec. PA war has broken
out between the cattle and the sheep
men in the Clark Fork valley, and
reports reached Bridger today to the
effect that cattlemen had bombarded
and killed 500 head of sheep for C. B.
Clarke, who resides On the CLARK
Fork river about 25 miles south of
Brldger. The sheep were brought to
the valley recently from the Mussel-
shell country and taken to what is
known as Silver Tip.
The story of the slaughter is to the
effect that the sheep were grazing
at the mouth of the Long Day, when
number of masked men rode up and
compelled the herder to leave The
party then attacked the sheep with
clubs and guns, driving some over
a bluff and cutting down the others.
The affair has stirred up the entire
valley, and trouble is looked for, as
Clarke is a determined man and
swears to retaliate. Owing to the
great amount OF hay in the valley
several prosperous ranchers have
brought in large conslgnments OF
sheep to eat up the surplus feed, and
the ranchers have welcomed the in.
novation owing to the small number
OF cattle now running in this section
Recently Clarke brought in 5000
sheep. and j. N. Toman has about the
same number. while Harry Shupak is
ranging 5000. About month ago
the sheep wagon of Frank Clarke was
burned up near the scene of the kill
ing.

CALLAHAN WINS ON FOUL.
Lewis Has All the Best of the FiQht,
Bat Loses Mis- Head.

Dick Lewis, the colored fighter of
this city, was the victim of some hard
luck Friday evening in his fight with
!. kid" Callahan. The colored boy was
pounding the ''Kid' all around the
ring and would have unQuestiOnably
put him out before the twenty rounds
were up, but in the seventeenth, after
sending Callahan to the floor with a
succession of right and left w0llops,
he forgot himself and struck Callahan
while the white boy was on his hands
and knees, and Referee Bebb had
rothing left to do but give the de-
cisi0n to Callahan.
The fight was one Of the best from
the standpoint Of slugging and game
neSs ever seen in the city. Both men
were in fairly good condition, Lewis,
however, having the better of this.
Callahan outweighed his dusky op-
y,onen,, but Lewis more than made up
for the difference in ring generalship.
Callahan started in with the evident
intention Of ending the fight with !,
punch. Assuming "Jimmy Britt"
crouch, he went after the gentleman
from the south. The first round was
even. with Callahan doing the greater
part of the work. There was some
thing doing in the second. After a
few exchanges Callahan caught the
negro with IA terrific right swing OH
the point of the jaw, and the dusky
one went to the floor like 10y. He
staggered to his feet at the count of
nine. but was evidently somewhat be-
wildered.
His superior experience in the ring
here stood him in good stead, and by
stalling he managed to finish out the
round without serious damage. The
tight from there to the eleventh was
a ''biff-bang" affair, with Callahan
gradually getting the short end OF it.
