before the new department was inau-
gurated. The splendid outlook for a
tremendous growth of Billings in the
immediate future and consequent in
crease in the demand for banking
facilities induced the firm last spring
to bring the subject of a savingc bank,
long and carefully considered, to =
definite conclusion, with results as
above stated.
It is the announced policy Of the
new bank to confine its loans to real
estate mortgage securities, as an aux
iliary to the large, successful and
satisfactory business already built up
by the Billings Loan & Trust com
pany in that special line. guaranteeing
absolute safety for the funds OF de
positors.

VIOLENTLY A
j.. G. Zig Suddenly Loses His Reason
and Becomes Dangerous.

From Saturdays Daily. m
This afternoon J. G. Zig, who owns
a ranch a short distance below town
and who is we'll known to many en-
ployers in different parts of the county
as a sheepherder and ranch hand, was
locked up, violently insane. At noon
he appeared at a boarding house on
the north side, to which he had fol-
lowed a young lady, whom he claimed
to be his wife. He guarded the door
and would allow no one to enter or
leave the place. Finally a man pass
ed who knew him and prevailed upon
him to accompany him to the u
house. There he entered the county
clerks Office and demanded a marriage
license and threatened to commit all
sorts of damage. Meanwhile Police
men Garnant and Salisbury had been
notified and with the assistance OF
Sheriff Hubbard and a number OF
other men Ilg was taken into custody,
but not without a desperate struggle.
It became necessary to tie him and In
this condition he raj carried to the
city Jail and locked up. He was
handcuffed and the rope taken on
him. Subsequently he imagined one
side Of the Jail was the treasurer's
Office and he placed himself on guaro
in front of the door leading to the
dark cell, saying he would permit No
one to touch it.
Ilg is fairly we'll to do. In addition
to owning a ranch he has considerable
money. Religion is supposed to o.
the cause of his insanity, although al
to this the facts are not known.

Deep Mystery is Explained.

Marietta had a big sensation
and deep mystery several days
ago. The papers published long
accounts Of the finding of a hui
man head in a cellar in that city,
and that all the police were en-
deavoring to solve the mystery.
The mystery has been solved as
will be seen from the following
from the Marietta Register: On
Tuesday of this week the police
were asked to look at head
found in a cellar on SCANNED
street. They went to the scene
where the skull Of a sheep which
had probably found its way to
said cellar during the recent rise,
was found. 1t was not the skull
of human being and had no re-
semblance to it. Neither was it
the head of a monkey or the miss
ing link. 1t was nothing more
than the skull of a common sheep,
and was thrown away and moth
ing more thought of it. Later in
vestigation shows the head to
have been originally the property
of DR.. Dabney. who got it at a
butcher shop and had intended to
clean the skull so that it could be
used in experimenting.

Promise of Great Fruit Crop.

Although it is yet too early to
make sure that the crops will not
be killed by frost, the present in
dications are that the crops will
be the largest that there has been
over the country in a general way
in many years. The fact is rift
in the clouds. The press clipping
bureaus have gathered the infor-
nation of the great fruit crop that
is coming. They have gathered
the reports on the fruit situation
and at the present information is
that the crop at the present time is
the most promising for many
years. By the cold and late spring
the buds have been kept well back
and the result is that there is less
danger of their being nipped by
the frost of this season of the year.
The most remarkable feature OF
the present situation is the fact
that the crop is good in every sec
ton of the country, and that it
includes every variety of fruit
that is grown in North America.
Unless there is an unforeseen in
reference, there will be one OF
the largest apple crops that the
country has yet had. There will
be a like crop of peaches and SC

ORGANIZING A KICK.
Object Only Strengthens Daw-
SON Candidacy.

The news known for some days,
but published for the first time IN
the Morning News today, that the
oil men are organizing an assocla-
ton for the purpose of defeating
Mr.. Dawson for Governor, has
caused considerable comment in
this city, says the Parkersburg
journal. The article giving an
account of the organization failed
to state that Mallory Brothers
are the chief promoters OF the
association, and that it's member
ship will include probably a ma
iority of Mr.. letters supporters
in this county, yet such is the fact.
It is at least worthy of note that
S. 7. Mallory, Judge Billiards.
delegate to the Republican Ma
tional convention, and whose
friends boast that he beat Cover
nor White for place among the
"big four is promoter OF an
organization having for it's ex-
press object the defeat Of the Re-
publican nominee for Governor in
this State
All of Mr.. Dawson's friends
who have mentioned this matter
so far, in the hearing of the
writer, have expressed their graf
ifcation that the facts have been
made public. There is now no
further chance for concealment as
to who is making the fight for Te-
ter, how they are making it, nor
what they are preparing to do
when they are defeated, as they
know they will be, in the conven-
ton. 1t constitutes a demonstra-
ton of the fact that Teter is sup
ported because his supporters
want to avoid the payment OF
their just share of the taxes to
support the State. 1t is about as
complete a case Of indirect brib-
erv as ever come to the knowledge
of the public.
That it will not accomplish It's
object is pretty well evident even
in the beginning. In the first place
the rabid Teter men will never be
able OF convince the masses OF the
oil people that Dawson s election
would really be inimical to their
interests. Mr.. Dawson himself
tells them frankly that other IN
dustries are taxed. He intends
to deal with them fairly, and in
vites an expression OF their own
opinions as to how oil and gas
should be assessed for taxation.
No sane man can be persuaded
that w. M. O. Dawson has any in,
tention to cripple the oil business
or any other business in this
State. All he desires or intend is
that the oil business should bear
it's fair and equal part of the ex-
penses of running the State gov
Again, the organization of the
oil men to fight the ticket will line
up the farming element in favor
of it. Without regard to politics
the farmer who favor tax reform,
as virtually all of them do, will
Dawson, and the tax re-
form candidate for the Legisla-
ture. Thus, the immediate effect
of their demonstration will be to
embarrass the Democratic party
with a lot of friends whom they
can not take care of, and drive
hundreds of regular Democrats
out of the party as soon as the
new contingent is recognized.
For these reasons, it is regarded
merely as an abortive effort at
blackmail which will injure those
engaged in it more than it Injuries
ANYBODY else.
