remarkable for it's completeness and
artistic manner of arrangement The
space allotted to us is particularly at
tractive, being in the center of the
building, which is round one, and
directly opposite the main entrance.
Unless I'm very much mistaken, we'll
beat all other states in this particular

will be none better or more complete .

ONLY TWO BETTER.
Montana Building Among Best at St.
Louis Exposition.

Louis Exposition.
Excepting those owned by Oregon
and California, the Montana building
is the best of any of those erected
by the western states. So expresses
himself the Honorable Paul McCor-
mick, who returned yesterday from a
visit to st. Louis, where he and for
mer Governor White went couple of
weeks ago to see about the building
and other matters in connection with
Montana's exhibit at the Louisiana
Purchase exposition.
When they left plasterers were at
work and every promise was given Of
a speedy completion of the structure
A mistake was made in locating the
building, as regards site but this, Mr..
Mccormick says, is being remedied
at the expense of the management of
the exposition, who are doing the grad
ing necessary to give the grounds the
proper grade and add to their appear
ance. In every other respect matters
were found highly satisfactory, and
the people Of Montana have reason to
feel proud of the building and it's sur
roundings.

been on exhibition a number Of

DOLLAR AN ACRE ADDED TO PRICE
At Suggestion of Roosevelt Value of Grow Indian
Land Is Increased to Satisfy Treaty
Obligations.

Y Notwithstanding the efforts which
areN being made by the Indian Rights
association at Washington to prevent
the enactment into law of the Dixon
bill for the opening of million acres
of Crow Indian lands for settlement,
the indications today are exceedingly
favorable for the defeat of the plan Of
those who contend that the Indian is
not getting his just dues under the
terms of the Dixon bill.
In response to an inquiry wired to
Congressman Dixon yesterday by The
Gazette for information concerning
the status of the bill, MIR. Dixon sent
the, following telegram to this paper:
| Washington, D. c., March Bill
1hgs Gazette, Billings, Montana: The

Rosebud reservation bills unless home

WIDOW CONTINUES FIGHT.
kennedy-Dickie Litigation Will Be
Kent Up,

NSPI OPs
Although the original plaintiff is
dead, the famous litigation of Ken
nedy VS.. Dickie will not be permitted
to lapse on that account. The widow
has decided to take up the fight where
it was laid down by her husband and
as Administrative of his estate will
hereafter appear as prosecutor OF the
claim made by her husband that the
defendant was in wrongful possess
sion Of the land contention for title
to which has been carried through
the land office and courts.
At the last term of the district court
Judge Loud granted a motion for leave
to substitute the name of Mrs. Ken
nedy as plaintiff in the suit pending
against Dickie at the time of the sud
den death of her husband. An amend
ed complaint was filed few days ago
in which the Administrative charges
Dickie with having taken illegal and
wrongful possession of the realty In
voaved. She alleges that such wrong
full possession was accomplished Sep
tember 3, 1902, by dispossessing 3. B.
Kennedy, then in lawful and peaceable
occupancy of the land. t
Demand is made for Judgment OF
restitution and for such other relief
as the court may consider plaintiff
| to be entitled to.

LOCAL PLAYERS PROVE suPE-
RIoRITY OVER VISITORS.
SNAPPY GAME THROUGHOUT
Young Ladies from eozeman Not Ex-
pert Enough in Basket Ball
for Home Team.

Because they came here with the
reputation of being the champions OF
the state, the members of the local
| basket ball team feel all the more
elated over the victory won from the
Bozeman visitors Friday evening.
The game was played in the gymna-
sium of the new southside school and
was witnessed by about as large q
number of spectators as the room
could we'll hold. In spite of the SUI
periority in height and age possessed
by the young ladies representing the
state agricultural college, the home
players proved themselves more than
their equals and played with vim
and snap that carried all before them.
Only seven points were scored by
the strangers, and each was made by
one player, Miss Jeffers, consequently
it may be said that it was one against
! team. 1t is true that she received
| some assistance, but the honOrs are
all hers. The Billings team was more
fortunate in this respect, as several
of the young ladies distinguished
themselves by the brilliancy and eff
fectiveness of their playing. Those
whom the spectators considered
worthy of special mention were Miss
Mcbride, Miss Allen, Miss Todd and
Miss Burton.
4 Billings began the game with six.
points as an opener. Miss Burton
tossed the first goal on foul. Miss
Mcbride followed with toss on foul
and then scored four more points on
field throws. Two more scores on
fouls were made by Miss Burton,
bringing the number up to eight.
| Against this Bozeman had four, all
made by Miss Jeffers, on two fouls
and field throw.
| The last half was characterized by
hard work on the part of both teams
and a more stubbornly contested game
has been but seldom seen. Miss Jeff-
ers added three more foul tosses,
bringing the score for her team to-
seven, where it remained until the
close. Once again Miss Burton and
Miss Mcbride signalized themselves
by foul throws and the score stood
10 for Billings when the game closed.
! Lyman Bennett of Bozeman, coach
of the visiting team, acted as referee
and Lee Mills as umpire. Their
work proved acceptable to all and no
protests were heard against any Of
their decisions.
I After the game visitors and all re-
paired to Gruwell hall, where a dance
and reception followed.
The Teams.
The teams were composed as fol
lows:
Bozeman-Forwards, Misses Os-
borne and Jefers; centers, Misses
Elgin and Roberts; guards, Misses
Widener and Seidenstrjeker.

port received from the same source
last week concerning the Grow reser-
walton segregation bill.
1t will be observed that the presi-
dent and both houses OF congress are
now heartily in favor of the measure
seeking to segregate the northern part
of the Crow reservation and more than
likely the Indian Rights association,
which bitterly opposed the measure
heretofore, will get around to the
presidents way of thinking.
The Indian Rights association no
doubt honestly opposed the Grow In
dian reservation segregation bill, and
thought it was acting for the best in.
terests of the Grow tribe Time, how
ever, will tell that the provisions OF
the measure as finally arranged by
the member of the lower house of con-
gress from Montana, are ample to
fulfill all treaty obligations entered
into with the Indians in the autumn
of 1898, and that the final settlement
with the Indians for the lands pro-
posed to be segregated will even net
much larger sum to the tribe than
was calculated under the provisions
Of the treaty.
To Be Drawn by Lot.
The plan of drawing will no doubt
be put into effect by the general land
Office when the Grow territory is final
ly ready to receive settlers. This
plan gives every applicant an equal
show and wherever it has been adopt
ed in the opening of Indian reserva-
tions commendation from all has
come from those who registered at
the drawings.
Billings Will Be Beehive of Activity.
When the time finally comes for set
tiers to enter upon the segregated
Indian lands Billings will no doubt
be made the center for operating by
/ the officials and other representatives
of the general land Office at Washing
ton by reason OF it's central location
to the lands. Thousands of people
will be drawn hither when public an
nouncement is made that the lands
! are ready for settlement and, for the
time being at least, this city and its
tributary country will witness scene
of activity and excitement only sur
| passed in magnitude in the Oklahoma
country when that section witnessed
the opening for settlement of large
tract of Indian country.

THEY WILL HELP.
Laurel Ladies Respond to Local Com
mittee's Call.

Laurel Ladies Respond to Local Com.
mittee's Call. -
A misapprehension as to the /ti6e
within which contributions have to be
made alone prevented the good ladies
of Laurel from taking steps earlier
to give an entertainment of some sort
for the purpose of adding to Yellow
stone county's contribution to the
fund for furnishing and decorating the
Montana state building at the st.
Louis exposition. They thought that
it was necessary to have the money
on hand some time ago and because
of this and other circumstances that
arose decided not to make an effort
in response to the request from the
local committee. Having learned that
plenty of time still remains, they have
taken hold in earnest and generous
donation will undoubtedly be placed
to their credit.
Last Saturday Mesdames Babcock,
Jones and Rowley went to Laurel and
there met number of ladies. Mrs.
G. D. Camp, Miss Reynolds, Miss
Vance and others signified their will
ipgness to act in the capacity of man
ayers and it was decided to give
ball on the night of April s. The
date was set far enough ahead to as
sure ample time in which to make all
arrangements and to enable the patron
esses to give all possible publicity to
the event in order that the attendance
might be as large as the worthy object
OF the ball merits.
A gentleman who arrived from Lad
rel yesterday said that the ladies have
already begun work and are enthu-
siastic in their predictions as to the
success of the ball. Music will be
secured from Billings and the country
for miles around will be decorated
with posters advertising the event,
as it is the determination of the pro-
moters that every one shall know they
are going to give a dance, and the
purpose of it.

AS He is TODAY.
White Now Really Believed to Be
Unbalanced.

During the days that have followed
since the visit of the physicians
marked change seems to have come
over White and he is now regarded
by Sheriff Hubbard and Jailor Hard
ing as being really insane, or else he
is a remarkably clever actor. He
sleeps but little and this is beginning
to tell on him, as he looks haggard
and thin.
He refuses to eat the food given
him while Mr.. Harding is present,
claiming that the jailer is trying to
poison him. The fact that the food
left last evening was gone this morn
ing is accepted as indicating that his
fear leaves him when alone. For q
day or two he was inclined to be noisy,
yelling and bowling and keeping the
other prisoners awake during the
night. AS they became alarmed at
his antics they were removed to
another department and White has
the corridor to himself.
Last night he called Mr.. Hubbard
and told him that he had a devil In
side, who was constantly crawling uI
and down his throat, and he wanted
tools to take him out. Earlier in the
day he told Mr.. Harding that he had
snake in his throat and repeatedly

What Stewart Saw.
Charles Stewart, one OF the wit
nesses examined at the inquest, tes-
titled that about 20 minutes before
the shooting he saw White go up
stairs, by way of the rear, the out
side stairway. When he heard the
shooting he ran up the stairs and
looked through the window in the
door. He saw a man down and White
standing over him. Stewart opened
the door and entered. AS he did SO
he saw White shoot the man and he
said to him my God, man, what are
you doing?" To this, witness said,
White replied "That - won't bother
me any more" Stewart passed by
White and looked at the man on the
floor, thinking it was his partner,
man named Brennan; he saw it was
Schwink. AS he was approaching
Schwink, Stewart said, White walked
out Of the door and down stairs.
caimer's Story.
"A witness named Calmer said he
was asleep in room adjoining the
one occupied by White. The voices
of man and woman talking awoke
him. He heard the woman say,
whats the matter?" To this the
man replied, but the witness could
not understand what he said. Almost
instantly he heard a shot and about
Is seconds afterward heard two more,
both fired in rapid succession. Then
there was another, when he heard
two more shots and then another.
After the last shot the witness left
his room and went into the hall. He
saw the woman lying at the head of
the front stairs and toward the rear
end of the hall saw man lying on
the floor.
With Felonious Intent.
A very exhaustive inquiry was made
into the double homocide and much
testimony was brought out. The jury
evidently did not take much account
in the story of Whites insanity, for
it returned verdict that the two
people were killed by White, with
felonious intent.
Having left no means and being
without friends who cared to defray
the expense of the burial, Schwink
and the woman were buried last Sat
urday in Potter's field.
Her Real Name.
The woman killed by White was
named Mary Thompson, although she
went under the name of Burns. Her
father was at one time a freighter
and lived at Fort Benton. In 1874,
on returning to Benton from long
| trip, he found his wife dead and
neighbors caring for his children, two
little daughters. Mrs. Panghorn, who
subsequently married Michael Burns
adopted Mary and the child assumed
the name of her foster parents. The
girl was quarter-breed Indian. She
learned stenography and for lone
time was employed in the Office OF
a Helena lawyer. Afterward she
worked for different parties. About
nine years ago her foster mother died
and not long after that Burns also
died. After the death of Mrs. Burns
! the girl commenced to go downward
From Helena she went to Butte, next
she was heard OF as being at Living
ston and then she disappeared as fal
as her former Helena acquaintance
were concerned until they heard o1
her death here.
