]. WARD HUSE
IS WOUNDED
VICTIM OF LIQUOR CRAZED MAN
WHO is KILLED AT BILL.
INGS.

Billings, Aug. 31.-"Major" C. NJ.
Robinson is lying dead in the hos
pital, killed by officers last night.
He ran amuck in a crowd of men who
were passing out of the entrance to
the opera house, and with one shot
from a 30-3O Savage rifle inflicted
wounds on three we'll known citizens.
Robinson was elected from the opera
house half hour before committing
the deed. The men he shot were j.
Ward Huse, manager of the McCor-
mick store; o. B. Crane, day clerk
at the Northern hotel, and T. Row.
land, manager of the cutting depart
ment of j. Simineo's meat market.
There was no provocation whatever
for the shooting by Robinson, and it
is believed that he was temporarily
insane. One shot wounded all three
of the men. After leaving the opera
house he went to his room and pro-
cured a rife that he lately had man
ufactured to his order. He was stand
ing about 100 feet east of the en-.
trance of the opera house when the
first act of The Chaperons'' was
finished. Quite a crowd of men pass
ed out of the front end of the The
atre, and he took a pot shot. There
was not man in the whole crowd
who had ever seen him before. 1t
was simply a case of temporary in
sanity caused by overindulgence in
nI Ifnh in holt
ed that the wounds of any of his vic
tins will prove fatal.
j. Ward Huse was shot through the
thigh, but no bones were broken. Mr.
Crane is perhaps the most seriously
wounded of the three He was shot
in the leg above the knee and the ball
tore away large amount of flesh.
Mr. ROwlands wound is not as SER
ious as the others. he having been
shot below the knee, the ball passing
through the leg.
Killed by an Officer.
Officers Willis, Foster and Craven
overlook Robinson near the brewery
on Montana avenue. A boy who had
followed him fro mthe opera house
informed the officers that he was the
man who had done the shooting.
They called on him to halt. He turn
Ell and opened fulisade with his
rifle, but fortunately none of the
shots took effect. The officers emp
tied their revolvers and one of the
shots took effect in his abdomen,
about an inch above the navel. He
was picked up and placed in a hack
and in some manner the crowd that
had gathered in front of the opera
house learned that the man who had
done the shooting was inside the We
hicle as it passed toward the hospital.
A great crowd rushed into the street
and attempted to stop the hack. but
the driver whipped his horses into
run and Robinson was taken to the
hospital. where he died almost imme-
diately after arriving there.

GOsnier is the 1S-year-old son of
Casper Gosnier, an old-time merchant
of Monarch. Early yesterday morn
ing, taking his gun, he started out
alone to hunt in Belt park. The weap-
on was double-barreled shotgun,
with very sensitive trigger. 1t is
supposed that in climbing through
the brush the weapon was in some
way discharged. The entire charge
of birdshot struck the unfortunate
hunter in the right side, severing an
artery. He managed to climb out of
the brush and into the open field, and
evidently started for the nearest ranch,
when he was overcome by the loss
OF blood and lay down upon shock
OF grain, where he was found. The
young man was well known around
Monarch, and there is genuine regret
over his sad ending. His relatives
are prOstrated.

of important institutions, even when
enormous sums of money are involved.
The demonstration, however. has more
than integrity 10 its credit. The collec-
ton and disbursement of these great
funds have been carried on with an
economy which is admirable. In conside
ing the cost of administration of the
German insurance funds it should be
remembered that collections are made
from 100000 individuals, as well as
from the employers Of these individu-
ais, and that in making disbursements.
particularly Of the sick and accident
funds, there is a care and intelligent
supervision exercised which must make
the cost Of disbursement quite as great
as the cost of collection There are,
therefore. reasons. for a much higher
ratio of expenses than would be essen
tiaI in such a system of life insurance
as we have in America. But as mat
tier of fact, the cost of administration
of American insurance funds makes
sorry comparison with the expense Of
administration in Germany. 1t is a
monument to the economy of the Ger
man administration to find that less
than 81 per cent. of the total income
is used up in the cost of administra-
ton, and that ninety-one and one-half
lper cent. is paid out in benefits to the
insured Frank A. Vanderlip, in
Scribner's.

woRKINGMENs INSURANCE.

1t is in Germany that there is to be
found, by all odds, the highest eyolu-
ton. of workingmen's insurance In
that country social experiment has
been conducted on vast scale, and I
think the movement may fairly be
said to mark the most interesting re-
cent social legislation that is to be
found; anywhere in the world.
The significance of the movement
lin Germany will be better understood
when 1t is noted that 100000 Ger
man workmen are contributing to
and enjoying the benefits of the PEN
sion system. That significance is en-
phazised when we learn that since the
inception Of the system, in 1885. the
total receipts have reached $1,750,-
100000 At the present time the an
nual receipts are in excess of $780,
100000, an amount sufficient to make
us consider with much interest the ee-
cmonlic consequences of the plan.
Especially is 1t noteworthy to find
that this vast sum has been admins
| tered with absoule integrity The ad-
ministration Of the insurance funds of
Germany offers one of the best indi-
cations in the world today Of the pos
| sibility of a successful state control

and has narrow head. 4 traveller who
spent much time with the Kirghiz Of
Asia says they estimate feminine beau
ty for the amount of fat; man when
speaking of the beauty Of his wife
never forgets to mention her weight.
The Makololo women make them
selves fat and pretty by drinking pc
culiar drink called ''boyaloa," and
among the Trarsa-a Moorish tribe
the women take immense quantities of
milk and butter to make themselves
fat. @
The SOmal men are said to choose
their wives by standing the girls in a
row and selecting the fattest-they de-
test slight girls. Among the Hottentots,
whatever shortcomings a girl may have
she must not be thin: the Hottentots
like their girls to be fat and have plenty
of it. Though a Hottentot bellies value
in the marriage market is largely de-
termined by her corpulence, she may
have other virtues.
