Belfast. Aug. Having now in Belfast
military force capable Of dealing with any pos
sihc development in the police strike. the gov
ernment has taken vigorous measures, dismissed
the leaders of the strike movement ana prom
ised, though the Lord Lieutenant, the Earl OF
Aberdeen to take under consideration any gen

channels
This prompt action the part OF the au-
thorities. IN the opinion Of many, viii avert
serious developments in what at one time ap-
peared to he Il dangerous situation. Additional
troops reached the city tonight but every
thing remains quiet.
The effect OF the dismissal Of Constable Bar

It Is impossible to predict what will happen
at the parade of the disaffected police to-mor-
row. but the belief is general that there is much
difference of opinion among the Constabulary
regarding the advisability Of proceeding with
extreme measures
According to report, the strike trouble
was not regarded seriously until last Saturday,
when the authorities learned that the malcon-
tents had decided that in case their demands
were refused they should retire to their bar
racks and refuse withdraw, there being sutt-
cient men and munitions in each barracks 10

r. r. Commissioners Do Right.

Some time ago the Board of
Railroad Commissioners took
up with the officials Of the
Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany, and the Montana Rail-
road Company the matter Of
such train service to and out
Of Lombard via the roads men,
toned, as would permit the pass
engers on the Northern Pacific
reaching points on the Montana
without the night lay-over at
Lombard.
AS a result the Montana Rail-
road changed it's schedule and
trains Nos. z and 8 were put on
the Northern Pacific thereby al
lowing passengers from Helena
and intermediate points to reach
Lewistown the same day; but
when the new time card Of that
Company went into effect it was
found that the time tables made
a "star" station of Lombard,
and that trains Nos. 3 and 4
were not scheduled to stop there.
AS this arrangement worked a
hardship on the travelling public,
especially upon passengers from
the east destined to points on
the Montana Railroad, who were
compelled to lose "a hours time,
the Commission took up again
the matter Of service in to Lom-
bard, with the result that an Of
icial order has been issued with
in the past few days, making
Lombard a regular stopping
point for Northern Pacific train
Nos. 3 and 4, for the transac-
ton of passenger and express
business. Agents have accord
ingly been instructed to sell tick
cts to Lombard, good for trans
portation upon the trains men
toned.

Wibaux Won.

The Sentinel Butte ball team,
accompanied by a few Beach play
ers, and several rooters, arrived
in Wibaux Sunday morning full
of life, hope and anticipation
and when they returned in the
evening they still had the life,
they may still have had a glim-
mer Of hope that at some future
contest they might do better,
but it's cinch that the anticipa-
ton was gone and with it the
game, which our boys, in the full
glory Of their new uniforms, won
by score Of 6 to a.
The early part of the game was
rather uninteresting, especially
to the Sentinel Butte delegation,
as our team had secured six
scores while the Sentinel Butte
boys only had one. Along to-
ward the last, however, the Butte
boys picked up and ran in
three, making the score 6 to A,
where it remained during the
rest Of the game.
Our team played a good game
throughout and are deserving Of
credit. They presented fine ap-
pearance on the diamond, in
their: new suits and if they al
ways play the same kind of ball
when wearing the new suits
and we are Of the opinion that
they can do even better Wi
baux will have just cause to en-
tertain a feeling Of pride concern
ing her ball team.

Two Men Killed Near Terry.

here early Sunday morning which
cost the lives Of two men, Harry
Seigmund, whose address was
GAL Peoria street, Chicago, ILL.,,
and E. Brace of Columbus, Wis.
The two men were employed by
Strife & Como, grading contract
ors, whose camp is two miles east
of town. They had walked into
town Saturday evening and after
making a few purchases at the
stores had proceeded to fill up on
wet stuff, leaving town some time
after / o'clock a. m. They had
started down the track for the
camp. Their progress in that di-
rection however, seems to have
been slow, for the had only gone
about a mile when the accident
occurred. They had either fell in
a drunken stupor or had laid down
on the tracks to sleep when an
extra westbound freight struck
them. This was shortly after 3
o'clock. Both bodies We're fright
fully mangled, one having the
head severed from the body.
Both bodies were also dragged a
considerable distance, one having
been dragged or showed to the
centre Of the switch yards. Cor
oner DR.. Grey was called from
Miles City but decided that an
inquest was not necessary and
the remains were laid. to rest in
the local cemetery Tuesday, in
structions to that effect having
been received from relatives of
the dead men. Review.
