NO MORE LONG WAITS.
Direct Connections for Cody Now
Made at ToIuca.

N"0NS az ...
BY reason of the change made in
the time card of the Burlington pas
sengers leaving here for Cody are no
longer obliged to make long waits at
Toluca, as direct connections are now
made at the junction for the terminal
point of the branch line.
Under the new schedule No. Al.
the company's w%estbound train, ar.
rives at Billings at 1880, instead OF
4:45. At Toluca it connects with a
sleeper that leaves Cody at II o'clock
at night, thus affording persons com
ing from there a full nights sleep.
The Cody connections are tri-weekly,
each way. No. AZ, eastbound passen-
ger, connects Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays. AS the Cody train
leaves Immediately after the through
train, passengers for that place arrive
at their destination at 6 in the even
ing. Returning the connections with
No. Al are Mondays Wednesdays and
Fridays, thereby giving visitors a full
day and one night at Cody.
Another change that has gone into
effect concerns the dining a service.
Instead of bringing the diner through
to Billings, as has been done, it is left
at Toluca. This is for the accommoda-
ton of the Cody through passengers,
affording them an opportunity to get
their meals at Toluca each way.
Changes have also been made in
the running time of the freight trains.
No. 46, eastbound, now leaves at $3.50,
instead of 9:45, while No. 48, departs
at $3.50, instead of 4:45. No. 45, from
the east, arrives at 11:45 a. m. Its old
time was 6 a. m.

ACTION FINALLY TAKEN.
Insane Indian Woman Ordered Re
moved to Asylum.

mOvSO 10 Asylum.
AT last the department OF justice of
the United States has taken cogni-
zance of the insane Indian woman ar
rested on the Grow reservation last
summer for murder, and ordered her
removal from the Helena Jail to the
national asylum for the insane main
tanned by the government at Wash
ington.
Running Deer is the name Of the
woman. She is a member of the Sioux
tribe and while visiting at the Grow
agency killed a woman of that TRIBE.
For this she was arrested and taken
to Helena. Before she could be placed
IN trial she became insane and was
so adjudged. The federal court hav-
ing no authority to order her commit
ment, the matter was referred to the
authorities at Washington. When it
looked as though her very existence
had been forgotten an order came
last week to the United States marshal
to take her to Washington.
The woman, who is over 20 years of
age, is said to be in a pitiable condi-
ton. She spends all her waking hours
in mumbling to herself and appears
to be rapidly breaking down under
the long and close confinement to
which she has been subjected.

o 1 BEER TO BOYS.
Bartender Fined for Selling Liquor to
Minors,

At last the police have succeeded
in arresting one of the men who are
accused of making a practice of sell
ing beer and other intoxicants to
minors, mere boys.
1t will be remembered that some
time ago The Gazette contained an
account of the disgusting and humiliat-
ing spectacle afforded n Sunday ev-
ening, when a number of boys, some
of them not much more than mere
children, were seen staggering about
the streets, helplessly drunk. Efforts
to learn where they had obtained the
liquor were instituted, but did not
prove very successful. Watch has
been kept ever since and Saturday
night Policeman Salisbury caught one
of the offenders.
The officer saw several youngsters
in the e a Of the White Elephant
saloon, who yer having a hilarious
time, drinking beer out Of a can. He
secured the can and was told that
Charles Ballard, the bartender Of the
White Elephant, had sold them the
liquor.
Ballard was arrested and taken be-
fore Judge Mann, where he entered a
plea of guilty. He claimed as a de-
Tense, however, that the boys had
told him they were getting the beer
for some one else, and as he had on
many occasions sold beer to boys who
had been sent for it by some of the
neighbors, he had taken it for granted
that the case complained of was one
of these. His story was regarded as
decidedly diaphanous, and the court
fined him $40, which he paid.

last week was c~anvassed.
The Florence Crittenden circle pre-.
sented a numerously signed petition
asking the council to adopt and en-.
force a curfew ordinance. The prayer
was made because of the complaints
heard of boys lettering about the
streets until late hours and in some
instances making nuisances of them
selves to all who are compelled tt
be out at such times. Referred.
On the recommendation of the
finance committee the bid of Wescf
& Cederholm, submitted at the las
meeting, for constructing the sewe'

Thursday for Springfield, Mo-, which
is to be the family's future home.
Lyle, the elder SON, will remain here
with Mr.. Hungerford and also after
the latter's departure for Missouri,
as it is considered advisable to have
some one on the range to look after
such animals as will be left behind.
Joseph w. Powell, national or

took his departure this morning for

days he will have charge of dedica-
ton exercises at Walla Walla, Wash,

the latter place he will go to Los An
geles to attend the general confer

Powell is credited with having raised
more than a million dollars during the
last five years for the benefit OF
different Methodist churches and has
enrolled about 10000 members in the
Brotherhood of st. Paul. in the same
time.

LIKE ITS PREDECESSORS
Annual Roundup 0f~maverlcks Proves
Happy Event.

Another of the annual "roundups"
Of the Maverick Hose company has
passed into history and leaves behind
the usually pleasant memories, while
sharpening the anticipation OF those
to come.
Saturday evening the time honored
custom of serving the guests at a
large table, according to the accepted
manner of banquets, was varied. In
stead a number of smaller tables were
scattered about the hall and at each
the guests were served tetesa-tete.
The toasts were happy ones and the
responses bright and witty, not a few
really eloquent. But it was not until
the regular numbers had been dis
posed of that the fun and jollity reach
ed their highest. Quip and story ran
the rounds and music punctuated the
Intervals.
" AS has been the wont for years,
George M. Hays, secretary of state,
presided and sustained his reputation
as a master of ceremony and enter
tainer. OF course, Judge Milburn was
present. A Maverick roundup with
out him would not be complete. Also,
of course, he contributed to the even
ing's entertainment with speech and
story.
A pleasant event of the evening
was the presentation to the company
of a loving cup by Mr.. Hays. 1t Is
needless to say that the cup was put
to legitimate use as soon as presented
and that pledges of friendship and
esteem were drunk to the generous
giver and renewed wishes for the
prosperity of himself and the com
pany clinched in due and ancient form,
The cup which through the friend
ship of Mr.. Hays has been added tc
the company's collection of treasures
and mementoes is a beautiful affair
of silver, gold lined, appropriately jG
scribed. Aside from its sentimental
value it possesses an intrinsic worth
that would make it a most acceptable
present.
