Dumped in the Snow.
Traffic was temporarily suspended
and squad of police reserves was
called out to prevent a riot at Butte

began dumping cases Of gloves into
the street after several hours of Wig
orous price cutting. Several women
were trampled upon. The experience
cost the merchants more than $1,000,
and 1000 workingmen were supplied
with gloves gratis.
"Workingmen's buckskin gloves, i
cent per pair" was the sign pu. out in

Montana Shipment Of Jewels This
Season Shows an Increase.
The value of the sapphires shipped
from Yogo this year by the New Mines
Sapphire syndicate, an English con-
Germ, exceeds 100000. After the
stones have been cut and made ready
for mounting their value is greatly in
creased, as the cost OF cutting Will
average more than 81 per carat, and
the 100000 represents the value OF
the gems just as they were taken from
the ground.
The Yogo mines have never pro-
duced so many or such fine stones as
in the past season. The output OF the
Burke & Sweeney mines has also
steadily increased. The latter proper
ty is now under option, and there is
little doubt that it will be sold before
the time limit expires next May. 1t is
predicted that both properties will be
controlled by the English syndicate
within year. When combined the
mines can be handled to better ad.
vantage Montana sapphires continue
in great demand in England, as well as
in this country.

Herd of 600 Driven Into Town by
Heavy Storms.

1CdVy SIOIH'S.
The recent general snOw-stOrm has
driven from the mountains a herd of
at least GOO antelope. 1t strayed to
"Seventy-nine" ranch near Lewiston
in body, and residents were treated
to most remarkable sight, as this is
the largest herd seen in the state
since the pioneer days.
The animals were so thick that men
rode through them as they would
through a bunch of cattle, The hard
snow had cut their legs so badly that
they showed not the slightest DISPOSE
ton to move on. They appeared great
ly exhausted.
State Game Warden Scott estimates
that the lives of 10000 deer and elk
have been saved in northwestern Mon:
-tana alone through the failure of the
snowfall until after the open season
had closed. Recently the heavy snow
storms have driven the animals from
the mountains, and they could be kill,
ed with shotguns. The season for
hunting deer and elk closed Dec. 1,
but antelope may not be legally killed
lin this state.

MRS. ROGERS PAYS PENALTY
GOES TO THE GALLOWS WITH

OUT A WORD.

Windsor. VT, Dec. 10.-Without a
tremor and without word, Mrs. Mary
Mabel Rogers yesterday marched to
her death on the gallows at the state
prison here and paid the penalty of
numbering her husband, Marcus Rog-
ers, at Bennington on Aug. IS. 1902.
To all appearances Mrs. Rogers was
the calmest person in the chamber of
death. She faced her end with the
same stoical Indifference that had
marked her demeanor ever since her
arrest, more than three years ago.
Greatly to the relief of those officials
who were assisting in executing the
sentence, Mary Rogers last hour was
remarkably free from narrowing Incl.
dents. 1t had been feared that the
woman's wonderful nerve would de-
sert her at the final moment and that
she would be carried to the scaffold in
state Of collapse. Instead, however
Mrs. Rogers met death bravely.
There were no sensational incidents
in connection with the hanging.
