He ran hastily down the hall and
stopped at the dining door aghast.
The smoking candles in the sconces
were throwing a somewhat uncertain
light over a scene of devastation n
ruin. The furniture of the table and
the accessories of the meal lay in a
broken heap ut the foot OF it, the chairs
were overturned, the curtains torn; the
great s%ideboard had been swept bare
of it's usual load of glittering silver.
AT his feet lay the body of a man in
the now familiar red uniform, blood
from a CHASTITY sword thrust clothed
about his throat, the floor about his
head being covered with ominous
stains. A little farther away on the
floor near the table there was the body
of another man in another uniform, a
naked sword lying by his side. He had
a frightful looking wound on his fore
head, and the blood was slowly oozing
out of his coat sleeve, staining the lace
at his left wrist. Even as he looked
the man turned a little on the floor.

times once in two days. But that Is

is a ruminant and as such never drinks

they take a sip Of water and commence
to "eat" Chew the cub. In a little
time they sip more water, and so on

pute these two old men had held in
their brief acquaintance, and upon no
one thing had they been able to agree
except in hatred of the English and
love of their common country. Still
their disputes had been friendly, and IL
they had not loved they had at least
respected each other.

Most of the exhausted men lay about
the decks in drunken slumber. John

In the cabin of the sloop Colonel
Wilton was sitting on one of the lock-

The camera was taken from stran-

attempts to sell it, when he was OBJ
served by policeman. AS soon as
he saw the officer he ran up an alley
and hid the camera in a barrel, where
it was recovered. AS the mans ap-

Fereus County Claims to Have Had
x Cyclone.

NyCIOnc.
Unless some one has imposed upon
the credulity OF the Fergus County
Argus that part of the state in which
it is published may lay claim TO a
distinction exceptionally rare in Mon
tana, where such occurrences are sup
posed never to occur. According to
the veracious contemporary quoted a
small, but energetic and decidedly
vicious cyclone struck ranch on
the other side of the Judith noun
tains last Friday. The twister is cred
tied with having picked up a self
binding reaper and forcing it through
a barb wire fence, thence depositing
it on top of wagon, demolishing that
vehicle badly.
Not satisfied with the destruction
already wrought, the same cyclone
is said to have carried hay rack a
considerable distance and dropping it
in a field in a condition rendering it
unfit for further use.

FEW ARE SUBMITTED.
Only Five Essays on Pioneer Day
Reported.

Whatever the reason, 1t is very
manifest that the offer of medals for
the best essays on Pioneer day,
made by the Association OF Montana
Pioneers, to the schools and state in
stitutions has aroused only little in
terest. The limit of the time in
which the essays were to be submit
ted expired today, and, as reported
from Helena, only five were received.
Contests for the medals were to
have taken place in the schools OF
the state the last Friday in May. I'm
der the rules formulated by the state
board of education the essays sub
mitted in each school were considered
by the teacher, who selected the best
and forwarded it to the county super
intendent That official in turn was
to select what was considered to be
the best one of all submitted by the
pupils of the county and forward it to
the state superintendent of public in
siruction. Sixteen copies were to be
made of each essay, so that each mem
her of the state board and the heads
of the state institutions, the latter
having been requested by the board to
give an opinion as to the relative mer-
it's of the different essays submitted.
Although the essays were to be in
the hands of the state superintendent
no later than July 1, the only counties
that have made response are Silver
Bow, Cascade, Chouteau, Rosebud and
Gallatin. A sixth came from the state
university.
Last year only one medal was offer
ed and because of the addition of a
second this year it was believed the
competition would be general, as the
schools would rather like the idea
of competing with the higher educa-
| tional institutions.

THEY ARE NUMEROUS.
City Fairly Overrun with Tramps and
Criminals.

Never before in the history OF Bill
ings has the town been so oyerrun
with tramps, hoboes and criminals
of all kinds, who are tiocking here
from all directions. The smallness
of the police force makes it difficult
matter to keep the city free OF the
undesirables and in spite of all vigi-
lance they thrive.
While no serious crimes have been
reported of late, the number of petty
depredations committed are enough
to show that probably only the lack
of opportunity prevents commission
of the other kind. From those parts
of town where no police protection is
afforded come daily complaints OF
beggars and skulkers about private
premises and now and then report
is made of the robbery of an icebox
or kitchen by persons looking for
something to eat Several instances
of that kind occurred in the north
western end OF the City during the
last few nights, while complaints
have also been made of the larceny
of clothing.
Yesterday afternoon a roundup was
made of a gang of fellows who had
been hanging about the railroad yards
for number of days. None had any
money, but for all that they were
industriously rushing the can" when
arrested, having obtained the where
withal by the sale of "phoney" jew
elry, a few pieces of which were found
by the police. The peddlers were
sentenced to work on the streets,
while the others, who appeared really
desirous of getting work and were
simply out of luck, were given time
! to get beyond the corporate limits.

Swift Current Oil company's New
Well Going Down Fast.

w. w. McFeeley, agent for the
Great Northern at this point, returned
this week from the Swift Current oil
fields, where he reports great activity,
says the Havre Plaindealer. The
country for miles on either side of
the Swift Current river has been
located by oil prospectors, and the
Swift Current company is putting
down new, well near the site of the
old one.
The new well will be down 500 feet

Is Hardened One.
AS may be supposed the girl is
utterly hardened and seemingly indif-
ferent as to her fate. Still arrayed in
her boys clothing, she was the center
of a large crowd at the station yester-
day morning while waiting for the
train that was to take her and her
pal away. Although permitted to con-
verse little with him, and then only
in the presence of an officer, she ap-
peared to be perfectly happy in the
company of the man whom she con
fessedly loves. She laughed and joked
with those about her and her face
was constanaly wreathed in smiles
Instead of manifesting any feeling of
shame or humiliation, she assumed
an air of good natured Indifference
and appeared to be perfectly at ease.
The prospect ahead of her seeming
ly had no terror for her and she was
supp OAiCAy A1Ppy, ~ ldI DIS ueI u0-
pertinent indicated her real feelings.
Although bleached by her long con-
finement in Jail, she still looked the
boy she pretended to be ana none
would have picked her out to be aught
else. In stature she is about medium
height and would pass for a boy in
his teens. The man with her is also
quite young, somewhere in the later
twenties, and not at all bad looking.
Contrary to the gushing reports pub
lished in the Butte newspapers con
corning the beauty of the girl, she
is mot the dashing, beautiful creature
she has been pictured. She is much
more comely in the garb of a boy than
she would be in the attire belonging
to her sex.

new ENTERPRISE

most equal to stone for durabil-
ity. The first building to be
erected in the city from this ma
terial will be started in the very
near future, on Main street, by w.
II. Noll & Sons. 1t will be a
three-story structure, 35x70 feet,
and will be located on Main
street. We predict the new enter
prise will be a financial success,
and is something that has long
been needed in this city. Lumber
has become so scarce and prices
so high that many people can
not afford to erect homes no long
er out of wood. Hence, the de-
mand for cheaper material is very
great just at the present time, and
if the new process of manufactur-
ing building material from ce-
ment proves a success, the projec-
tors Of the new enterprise have a
fortune in their own hands.

TWO MEN BADLY BURNED

Both O'Donnell and Robinson
were badly burned on the face
and hands. They ran away from
the well as fast as they could.
Physicians were called and the
burns were dressed and the two
unfortunate men will come home
today. Mr.. Robinson was burnt
the worst of the two, but does not
suffer nearly so, much as Mr..
O,Donnell, as a very bad burn is
painless. "Bull" Kenny was tool
dresser on the well. He kept his
presence of mind and was able to
put out the fire and saved the der
rick from being burned down. At
the time of the accident O'Don-
nell was engaged in working the
bailor. The escape of the whole
party from being burned to death
was almost miraculous.

Thomas O'Donnell, a driller, of
this city and Mr.. Robinson, of
Garry Owen, farm boss for the
American Oil and Development
company, were both badly burn
ed yesterday morning at 5 o'clock
while drilling in a well in the
Reas Run oil field. The well was
No. 4 Simbals. They were drilling
on top of the sand, but did not
expect to get the pay sand until
they had drilled considerable dis
tance down into the sand, but
when the top Of the sand was
broken by the drill the well began
to flow and the gas was ignited
from an open gas jet which was
burning beside the derrick. The
well will make so barrels a day,
but the oil and gas coming so un-
expectedly caused the accident.

The River Continues to Fall.

The Ohio river continues to fall
rapidly, and although this is rath-
er unusual for a low period, it is
approaching at much more rapid
gait than the rivermen had pre-
dicted or than they desire. The
existing stage and the prospects
for a still lower stage of water,
which is certain unless there is
considerable rainfall, has caused
rivermen to believe that the sum-
mer's river business will not be
profitable. At the Davis Island
dam the damaged wickets are be-
ing raised and repaired. River
interests are making every effort
to get the coal crafts home on
time so that they will not be inter
cepted by the possibility Of a sus-
pension of this kind Of traffic.

MEETING OF DEMOCRATIC
STATE COMMITTEE

harmony all through. Ex-U. S.
Senator Henry G. Davis, who will
be the nominee for Governor, was
given an enthusiastic reception
when he appeared. The venera-
bic Democrat was looking well
and feeling fine. He entered into
the business Of the committee
with that activity that made it
apparent to all that the cold
man" intends to accept the nom
nation from his party and make
the race.
Ex-senator johnson n. Cam
den, Of Parkersburg, addressed
the committee, as did also Hon.
Henry S. Wilson, the Hearst
Vice Presidential possibility from
West Virginia. Mr.. Wilson made
no reference to his candidacy,
nor did anybody else. Many more
spoke, among them George !.
Neal, Owen S. Mckinney, W. E.
R. Byrne, Senator VIM. Camp
bell and G.. III. Taney.
Practically all the discussion
before the committee yesterday
was along the line of a thorough
organization of the party. To
bring about such a desideratum a
committee on organization was
appointed, as follows: Owen s.
Mckinney, Fairmont, chairman !;
T. s. Riley, of Ohio county; Sen
ator VIM. Campbell, Of jefferson /;
Charles 81. Osenton. of Fayette !;
Wyndham 81. Stokes, of Mellow

and the ticket nominated. Then

The Democratic State Execu-
tive committee, which met in
Parkersburg yesterday, adjourn
ed before midnight last night.
The meeting was held in the as
sembly hall on the top floor of the
Chancellor, and that hotel was
|thronged with distinguished West
Virginians, prominent as leaders
of the minority party, all day yes
terday and last night. While it
was only a committee meeting
and only fifteen members compose
the committee-it attracted to the
city fifty or sixty representative
leaders of that party from all over
the State.
The meeting was not called to
order till late in the afternoon.
Col. Thos. B. Davis, the tempo
rary chairman of the committee,
raped for order on the stroke
of 3 o'clock. Hon. Stewart H.
Bowman, of Barbour county, the
temporary secretary, had arrived
by that time and was in his place.
All the members of the commit
tee except two were represented,
and the absentees were represent
ed by Proxies, Hon. Henry e.
Davis holding one of the proxies.
The afternoon session was open
to all Democrats, whether OF the
Bryan-Hearst faction or the
"sane and safe wing" of the par
ty. No question were asked as to
the orthodoxy of all who came,
but it was observed that the
|"sane and safe" folks were very
much in the majority. There was
a free interchange of sentiments
and ideas as to the forthcoming
campaign, and the meeting was
characterized by good feeling and
