meath the surface of the water.
Among those who wer fortunate
in landing good catches from this city
were James Hammond, Howard
Greene, Joe Garrett, Charles Schnel-
der, Arthur Hansard, George swingle
and Charles Williams.

BODIES OF TWO MEN FOUND IN
THE
IDENTIFY IS A MYSTERY
corpses So Badly Decomposed That
Recognition Is Impossible-May Be
Those Of Kelley and Kendall
Buried In Potter's Field.
$500

In unmarked graves in the potters
field Of the Billings cemetery, the
badly decomposed bodies Of two men,
found in the Yellowstone river near
Huntley last Sunday, were buried yes
terday afternoon. Their identity is q
mystery, which will probably never
be solved, on account Of the work OF
the elements ii making them unrec-
Iognizable.
Coroner Smith received word that
one body had been found about seven
miles east Of Huntley Sunday morn
ing. While making inquiries as to the
location Of the body he learned that
another corpse had been discovered
about q mile west Of the point where
the first gruesome find was made. One
body was found in mid stream, held
by a snag, and the other in shallow
water, about so feet from the shore.
It is possible that one body is that
of Rae Kendall, who It is believed
drowned himself at Huntlev where
he went several weeks ago to take up
a rarm unit on the reclamation pro-
ject and who 1t is said, grew despon-
dant and threatened to drown himself
after a %protracted spree in the town.
The other may be that Of Kelley,
the unfortunate, who was drowned
recently while fording the river near
the Ash camp, a few miles east OF
Billings. It Is said that friends OF the
dead man have partially identified one
Of the bodies as that OF Kelley, al
though they are not certain.
Both bodies were well, but not ex-
pensively dressed and were buried
yesterday afternoon In the Billings
cemetery. at the expense Of the coun-
tv.

Candidates for The Gazette's Vel
.lowstone National park tour are com
ing in. But as yet no one has a start
that any one else cannot overcome in
a day by calling on their friends.
It is going to be a simple matter
though because the time Is short and
for that ease no candidate is going
to be able to turn in a large vote.
Every young lady who enters will
have an equal show and all the chance
in the world to win. 1t simply means
getting a few friends to help you.
They will be glad to do you the favor.
Thousands Of people come all the
way from the Atlantic coast and even
Europe to see the park and here is a
chance for two young ladies to go
through this wonderland Of nature
without a cent Of expense to them
selves. The wonder is that The Ca
zette Office has no been flooded with
candidates before this time.
The Gazette has reason to believe
that several young ladies have plan
ned to try for the trip who have not
yet entered their names. These will
doubtless come in during the week.
They are probably seeing their friends
and will annuonce themselves soon.
At the time Of going to press Miss
Eva Cole Of Park City, Montana, leads
in the voting with 1O5 votes to her
credit. She was fortunate enough to
announce herself as a candidate by
July 20 and thus get the benefit Of
the bonus Of 100 votes in addition to
the votes cast for her.

DEN MARK.
Copenhagen.

Business conditions in Denmark are
a great deal healthier than in Swe-
den and Norway at present The COM
ing summer will witness much activi-
ty in the building Of new railway
lines, both private and national. and
will thus give hundreds of idle men
an opportunity to secure work. Ac-
cording to latest reports there will be
not less than forty new lines of rail-
way built during the summer and they
are all backed by solid capital. The
principal line to be built, is, we un-
derstand the national line staked out
from Copenhagen to Kjoge.
There are not less than fifty-three
agricultural papers published in Den
mark at present, which is, compara-
lively speaking, the greatest number
published in any country in the world.
Sweden has forty-one agricultural pub
locations and Norway has nineteen.
The Copenhagen STREET railway did
an excellent business last year. The
net profits were $541, $50 and the stock
holders were paid a dividend Of 6 per
cent. It is an excellent showing and
naturally the stockholders are all
pleased.
Denmark is about due for a cabinet
crisis. The present political situation
bears all the earmarks which would
lead one t. make such a prediction
and the ruuors to this effect will not
easily down.
