Man Walks On Leg Broken For Over

Man Walks On Leg Broken For Over
a Week.
From Thursdays Daily.
NOrdinarily when a man breaks a
leg he knows it and loses no time in
seeking surgical aid. Not so with
Fred W. Schauer of Laurel. He sus-
tanned a fracture of his left leg a
week ago, but did not think it worth
while to go to a doctor until this morn
ing.
One day last week Mr.. Schauer was
trying to assist a mare to her feet that
had been kicked by another horse.
The animal plunged and reared and in
doing so fell over and onto MI.
Schauer. He felt considerable pain in
the lower part of his leg and observed
that it began to swell rapidly. Be-
lieving it to have been only bruised.
he applied a hot compress and some
linament. The swelling gradually
subsidized, but the ache continued and
it was with difficulty that he could
use the member. Last evening he be-
gan to feel a rasping pain near the
ankle, and after making such examin'
alton as he could concluded that one
of the bones was fractured and &c
cided to come to town and consult a
doctor. This he did this morning and
found that his diagnosis had been cor
rect-the small bone was broken 9
short distance above the ankle joint

An order was issued today dismiss
ing the insanity proceedings begun a
few weeks ago against J. G. Zig, who
was taken into custody while temper
arily demented. After a few days de-
tention he recovered and was dis
charged from custody. The inquiry
has been permitted to pend since then
in order that further developments
might be awaited.
Deputy Sheriff Long of Sheridan,
Wyo, arrived in the city yesterday
afternoon with two prisoners, Howard
Alexander and James Carew, alleged
horsethieves. The men were arrested
in Wyoming at the instance of the
sheriff of Rosebud county after a
somewhat lengthy chase by officers
from that county. Under Sheriff HUFF,
who led the chase, remained at Sheri-
dan until today, when he, too, return
ed and will leave with his men to-
night for Forsyth.

performed the duties of that arduous
position in an artistic and acceptable
manner. Speeches were made by a
number of the members and by Sena-
tor w. M. Biggs of Helena. Others
contributed songs and stories. To Joe

Meagre particulars have been re-
ceived concerning the accidental
death of a little girl near Roundup
last Sunday night. The child was
: four years old and was the daughter
/ of B.. Steen, a rancher. The family
were attending a Christmas celebra-
| ton and the child came in contact
with an over-heated stove. Instantly
her clothing was on fire and before
anything could be done the upper por-
ton of her body was badly burned.
| She also inhaled some of the flames
fering indescribable agony until the
very last moment.

junction Man Concerning Whom Bad
f't Tale Is Told.

From thursdays Daily.
T.. 'Kilby, a recent arrival from
junction, is serving a sentence in the
city Jail, imposed for having been
drunk. If reports are to be credited
kilby is of not much good as a man.
When he arrived in the city ne is said
to have had 5000 in cash with him.
This he proceeded to elbow in" imme-
diately in the shortest possible time.
With the money gone he proceeded
to raise more by securing an advance
of $40 from a local dealer on 800
pounds of wool he claimed to have. 1t
turned out that the wool existed only
in Kilby's imagination and demand
was made for the return OF the money
he had secured. Fortunately for HIM
self he received a check tor a small
amount yesterday, which enabled him
to repay his victim. Having been re-
imbursed, the man from whom he OBJ
tanned the money by false pretense
declined to prosecute him.
A letter received by Police Judge
Mann from Scott Bros, the Junction
merchants, states that Kilby's family
is in want and that they have been
supplying Mrs. Kilby with groceries
and other n-ecessaries. The letter also
states that Kilby has deserted his
family. This the ma denies and
claims that he is the desc rted one.

Evidently an attempt was made last
night to rob the freight wagon of Will

st. Petersburg, Feb. 17.-Oficial ad-

that another Russian vessel, the cruis-

the bungling of her own officers.

OF the mines exploded and the cruiser
was lost, with ali on board, 1877 in

less than a week after the transport
Yenisei, with ninety-one men, was

to the conclusion that some respon-
sible office at Port Arthur is grossly
incompetent. The firing by shore bat
teries upon three of their own torpedo
boats emphasizes this conclusion.

and that Gen. Kerpatsky will command

Atrocities are daily perpetrated on
foreigners and natives both by the

If the neutral powers remain inactive.
A captain of police, with ten soldiers,
without any provocation, destroyed
the contents of a hotel, owned by a
German, where three Japanese had
registered under the protection of the
civil administrator. These Japanese
were bound, stabbed and robbed of
food money and jewelry. They were
rescued with difficulty by United
States Consul Miller, together with
three women refugees, all of whom
the civil administrator has assured Mr..
Miller would be protected.
