new PICTURES AT
THE THEATORIUM
LATEST JUST RECEIVED FROM
THE WEST.

From Sundays Daily.
A program consisting of three diff
ferent films is being shown today and
tomorrow at the Theatorium. The
pictures were just received yesterday
after a delay Of more than a week ow-
ing to late trains and are being ex-
hibited here for the first time.
"A Burglars Trick" depicts a novel
plan on the part of IN ingenious
crook who dresses himself as a num-
my, places himself in a casket and is
taken to a home of an antique curio
hunter. Having deceived the pur-
chaser of a supposed mummy, he is
brought into a room and when alone
with his unsuspecting owner, seizes
him and places him in the casket
while he proceeds to gather all the
valuables that he can place his hands
on.
The Blue Bonnet deals with the
Salvation army. The story told by the
picture is a most pathetic one show
ing how two little children are taken
from the home Of a drunkard soon af-
ter their mother dies and are placed
in the hands Of a couple who have
been so unfortunate as to lose two
children.
Sensational in the extreme is the
picture revealing the course of action
taken by a wronged husband, in pun
fishing a rival for his wife's affec-
tons. On discovering the would be
masher in his home, he invites him to
dinner and forces him at the point OF
a revolver to take a pill thought to
contain deadly poison. The victim
takes the pill and reels in agony, but
when told that it was entirely harm.
less becomes quieted and begs for
mercy. The coward is then given a
sound beating by the irate husband
after which he is forcibly elected
from the house

From Sundays Daily.
During the past week several east
ern building contractors have been in
Billings getting prices on building ma
terials, studying the labor conditions
and gathering data to bid on con-
structing the new Northern Pacific de-
pot which is Q to be erected here.
In the past it is said the Northern
Pacific has always built its own struc-
lures but the visit Of the contractors
to this city, lends color to the belief
that the company will award a con.
tract for building the new depot here.
Just when work on the depot will
start the local officials are unable I'd
say, but the st. Paul officials and Gen.
eral Superintendent Goodell have al
ready said that the depot will be

SMITH! $ MAKES
LONG JOURNEY
TEN DAYS COMING FROM SEAT
TEE TO BILLINGS.
ON STALLED TRAIN
Went as Far East 40 Fargo to Reach
This city-Delays Were Numerous
and Lengthy-Plenty Of Time for
Recreation at Whitefish.
From Sundays Daily.

From Sundays Daily.
Ten days was the time taken to
reach Billings from Seattle by Her
man Smith, who started east ever the.
Northern Pacific for this city from the
sound city after taking in the festivi-
ties incidental to the arrival of the
.battleship feet at that port.
Mr.. Smith arrived in the city yes
morning and said that the trip
was a memorable n in many ways.
He left Seattle on the morning Of
June 4 and arrived at Whitefsh in
the northern part Of Montana the
next day. After almost q weeks
stay at Sand Point, Ida, he was
transferred to the Great Northern.
Sailing was smooth over the Great
Northern for but a short distance. At
Havre the train stopped because Of
the fact that the track was sub
merged beneath four feet of water.
Here passengers were forced to either
swim or take a row boat to reach the
depot.
Plenty Of Entertainment.
On the road, near Havre a train
with two caIs Of ace horses IN route
to California was stalled between
washouts. The water at that partic-
point was level with the floors OF
the cars. The horses were the prop
erty of a prominent eastern turfman.
Mr.. Smith said that while the trip
was a most disagreeable one yet 1t
vas not by any means devoid of en-
tertainment. At Whitefish and at Cut
Bank there was much doing in the
way of amusement. The passengers
danced, took boat rides and found
other pleasureable recreation.
The people along the entire route
we're cordial and did everything to
make things as pleasant as possible
for the tourists.
Mr.. Smith declared that the pas.
sengers on the train on which he was
travelling were fortunate in getting
through to Fargo as soon as they did!
their train being the last to pass over
the road for several days on account
of the w-ater-soaked condition of the
road bed.
But one locomotive was used fol-
the entire trip from Sand Point to
Fargo because Of the lack of motive
power On the Great Northern. After
arriving safely in Fargo the passen,
gers were transferred to the North
Coast Limited which arrived in this
city yesterday noon.
