Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Hoose, former
residents of the city, are spending
a few days visiting Mr. and Mrs. II.
B. Segur. Since their departure from
Billings they have been making their
home at Sixteen Mile, a station on
the Montana railroad, where they are
.'roughing'' it, residing IN a tent for
the benefit of Mr.. HOSES health.
The amount Of exposure to which he
has subjected himself seems to have
been resultant Of great good, as his
appearance certainly indicates robust
healthiness. :
Judge Henry having been disquali-
fed 10 act in the case because OF an
affidavit by. the defendant alleging
prejudice, and Judge Loud of this
district, who had been called to try
the matter, being also disqualified for
a similar reason, no further effort will
be made to secure the attendance at
Big Timber Of . Judge qualified to
sit in the suit of Yule vs.. Hannah.
In place Of asking another Judge to
preside, Judge Henry has made an
order transferring the matter to Cal
latin county. The defendant has ex-
pressed his assent to the change.
With the conviction of the defend
ant the end has not yet been reached
in the Gravelle case, not by any
means, in fact the fun has only be-
gun. The biggest part of the row
promises to be the squabble owe the
rewards offered for the fellows arrest
and conviction. No fewer than seven
men have already bobbed up to claim
the spoils, and each one asserts that
he alone should be considered, claim
ing all the others to be imposters.
BY some it is regarded as tolerably
certain that all will be disappointed,
they considering it extremely doubt
full whether any Of the rewards will
be paid.
Beginning with next Monday, jan
uary II. and continuing until Saturday
night the profits OF all goods sold by
the Donovan-McCormick company will
be donated to the different religious
bodies of the city and st. Vincent's
hospital. A committee representing
>the churches has been appointed and
will have charge of the receipts, which
are to be divided pro rata among the
different beneficiaries. Others will be
at the store to act as sales people and
floor walkers. The committee recently
selected is working hard to make the
week a record breaker, for the greater
the sales the more money there will
be to devote to the cause of religion.
Professor R. A. Cooley of the Mon
tana agricultural college is the recip-
lent of a highly priced honor. While
in the east recently he attended the
annual meeting of the American Asso.
citation of Economic Entomologists,
before which he read a paper treating
of the appearance of grasshoppers
in this state last summer. 1t is to
be published shortly by the United
States department of agriculture. The
honor referred to consists of his cleo
tion to membership in the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science, a fellowship annual conferred
only upon IA scientists, consequently
the distinction is one much sought.
He was nominated by scientists at
Washington and Albany in recognition
of his learning displayed in an article
on "Scale Insects" published not long
ago.

Examination of the record in the
case shows that Ziemer was a sheep
herder and according to the testimony
Of witnesses, among whom was Judge
J. D. Matheson, it was very apparent
that hts insanity was due to that COM
mon cause of mental disease among
men of that particular calling. One
of his h~allucinations was that he was
under hypnotic control of two evil
strangers, who had designs on his
life and who wanted to transform
him into a ram. Through the same
spell under which he said the men
had placed him the clothing of his
body afforded no protection and that
his person was visible to those pass
ing him the same as though he were
nude. Other things testified to would
hardly bear repetition in print.

WRITES 10 COUNTY BOARD
August ziemer Spans the Ocean with
Uitimatum Insisting Upon Conn
piete Reparation.

All the way from S~chwerstedt bel
Weimar, Grosherzogtum .Sachsen-Wei-
mar Eisennach, which combination OF
proper names is located in the empire
Of Germany, comes a letter contain
ing dire threats against the gentlemen
composing the board of commissioners
Of Yellowstone county. The author
of the letter is August Zeimer, erst-
while a resident of the county and
more lately an inmate of the "bug
house" at Warm Springs, to which in
~stitqtion he was committed from this
city March 80, 1899. The date Of his
release is not known, but it is evident
that it was too early, az the epistle
to the commissioners indicates that
he is still laboring under "hallucina7
lions, illusions and decisions" the
form of his insanity described in the
findings of the two physicians who
called by Mr.. Newman, then
chairman of the board.
Following is the letter exactly as
it was written:
ITO the County Commissioners of Vel
lowstone County, Billings, Mont.
u. S. A.:
"To the next new year l again send
my protest against a certain speciale
treatment, to which I have been sub
jeckted some years ago in the assy-
lum to Warmsprings. Without any
from my side I've been arrestet
and send there from County Attorney
tombstone and County Commissioner
Newman. The doctors in those case
ar Rinehart and Armstrong. AS far
as I know is those case well known;
besides this the cause and the result
Of those SO called speciale treatment
with scenes of Love on first wight
which e nothing, but the infamest
crimes ever committet in history. l
think it for possible, that everything
was done by a misunderstanding, and
that you will be willy, to settle at the
present time in such a way, as to pay
for the damage those officers of Bill
ings and Yellowstone county done to
me. l am very sorry to have to call
again your attention to this case; but
remember for all time, that those
crimes will be settled in some way;
as those case is we'll known not only
to me, put to some men, that ar able
and will take satisfaction, If you
should not recognize my claim and
question for a ~peascible settlement
with Yellowstone county.
"You@ will be direcktly responsible
for, what will be the result, in case
you should refuse to settle, as Isbe'
lieve, that you will settle for it; witch
will settle the whole thing, as FAR as
l am concerned and witch in fact may
be a settlement for everything that
has happened. l signe with my best
wishes for New-Year 1904.
