This morning the Reverend G. 3.
Miller, pastor Of the Baptist church,
accompanied by his family, returned
from an extended visit to Nebraska
and Missouri. It will no doubt be
gratifying to the members Of his con-
gregation and many friends outside
Of the church to learn that he has
decided to reconsider the matter OF
his resignation and that he will re-
1fai6 for at least another year.
/Word was received here yesterday
from Red Lodge that the hardware
store of Myers & Chapman had beer
entered by burglars the night be-
fore and articles to the value Of about
5000 carried of. One Of the men
supposed to have been implicated In
the theft was arrested and the police
were requested to be OF the lookout
for a second who was thought to have
come to Billings with the circus train.
"A physician was called last Wednes-
day to attend the little son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Bryan, residing in the,
western part of the city, who had Sc
verely burned himself with carbolic
acid. In some way the child managed
to get a bottle filled with the fluid
and before it could be taken away
from him he had filled his mouth with
it. Fortunately he had swallowed
none of the poison and beyond a very
sore tongue and lips he was none the
worse for his experience.
INNEagle hall, which has been lyhe
scene of many happy gatherings, WAS
thronged Tuesday evening by a merry
host that had assembled to witness
the marriage of Peter A. Alvin and
Miss Agatha Louise Schneider, to
which an unusually large number had
been invited. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Reverend Mr.. McCul-
Tough of the Presbyterian church. At
it's conclusion am orchestra furnished
the music for a dance, which was
kept up until a late hour. Nj. n
Mrs. Alvin have gone on a wedding
tour to the Pacific coast and upon
their return will occupy a cosy little
home the groom has prepared on the
south side.
X -Four detected looking mortals, two
black and two white, were in police
court this morning charged with WI
, rancy. They gathered in last
night in obedience to the orders that
! had been issued to arrest all suspi-
ciDus persons who could not give a
: good account of themselves. Two OF
the men, a NEGRO and a whiteman, said
they belonged to the circus, but got
i left when the show pulled out of town
They asked only for time enough tc
e get away, promising W. ito return
. The other two were also anxious tc
place themselves beyond the city linn
y it's. All four were given a quarter OF
an hour in which to begin their pedes'
trian tour to other places.
dY Tomorrow evening the school board
{ Nwill meet in regular session. A par
Of the business to be transacted will
d consist in the election OF teachers tt
a fill vacancies caused by designations
l. Miss Kincannon, who was reelected
last sprung, has written to Clerk Whit
ney that she does not intend to return
to Billings, having concluded to re
main at her home in Mississippi
:. where she has accepted a position q

teacher elected, has changed her min
about coming to Montana and vii
remains in Nebraska. The board vii
probably also let a contract for COZ
