Both Congress and the President
now deprecate the widespread ten
dency to make them at odds with
each other. Congress perhaps dep
recates this more than the Presi-
dent. Both Congress and the Presi-
dent are fishing for the support OF
the labor unions with rods, nets and
handlines. 1t is needed in the COM
ing campaign. therefore it is reason
ably certain that an employers ha-
biliUy bill will be one of the few
measures almost certain to pass out
of the mass that are now dragging
a snaillike way through the halls of
a reluctant Congress. The Presi-
dent will have no need to send III a
red hot message on the subject as
was predicted in some quarters he
would do. Congress is anxious to

NUMBER 2 IN DITCH
Fireman John Gustafson Jumps from Engine
And Is Instantly Killed. Bridge Burned.

An itinerant tourist, who had been
stealing ride between the tender
and mail car also received minor in
juries, but nothing serious. Only the
engine left the track and plunged
into the burned aperture. The
wrecking crew at once hurried from
this city and had the wreck cleared
in short time.
A strange fact connected with the
accident was that this was Gustaf-
sons last trip as fireman, as he had
already secured a pass and intended
starting for Europe on his return to
Glendive, probably TO remain there.
Peter Gustafson, the we'll known car
repairer of this city, is an uncle of
the unfortunate man, and he also
has younger brother in Forsyth.
His parents reside in Sweden. The
funeral will be held in this city to-
day from the Methodist Church,
Rev. C. S. Thorpe of the Norwegian
Lutheran Church officiating.

new SHERIFF
FOR YELLOWSTONE

Billings, April III. B. Herford
an oid-time citizen Of Yellowstone
county, was selected by the board of
county commissioners today to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Sheriff James L. Webb, who was
murdered in Fergus county about
three weeks ago. The surprising part
of the matter is that Herford is a
democrat and the board of comm
issioners is republican. 1t is said that
the board considered but one other
person in connection with the ap-
pointment. that being ]. C.Orrick of
junction, who is now serving as
deputy sheriff and who is a republi-
can.
Herford was born in England "A
years ago and emigrated to America
when but lad. He came west in
1876 and rode the ranges of Arizona,
New Mexico and Utah, later coming
to Billings, where he studied law
and was admitted to practice in 1892.
Much of the credit for the capture
of Bickford, the slayer of Sheriff
Webb, was due to the efforts of Her
ford, who, with Deputy Taylor, trail
ed the murderer to the sheep wagon
where he committed suicide or
was killed by a bullet from the rifles
of the posse. Mr.. Herford declared
this evening that he will continue the
policy of the late sheriff. enforce
ment of the law to the letter.

during which time no fines were col
lected. The complete examination
certainly seemed to show that the
charges of incompetency and graft
were without any foundation whatever
and were inspired solely by base polit-
ical reasons.
At the close of the investigation
Chief Mitchell rendered his resignation
to the council, but it was not accepted
and up to date has not been acted up
on. The chief, however, certainly feels
vindicated before the public.
The council must be highly COM
mended for it's disposition to investi-
gate any charges at as early date as
possible. AS one member aptly re-
marked Saturday evening, the coun
cilmen are the servants of the people
of the city and are always working
for the welfare of the latter. The out
come of Saturday evenings investi-
cation, however, certainly gave them
grounds for some feelings of just in
dignation at those who had failed to
put in an appearance, after they had
been notified by letters from the city
clerks Office to be present.
After the close of this special busi-
ness the council, on motion, adjourned
and Immediately convened again for
the purpose of opening the bids for
the construction of the cement side
walks, crossings, curbing, ETC., dur
ing the present season. Only one bid
was received, that of Brubaker Bros,
and as their prices were considered
reasonable for the various items, they
were formally awarded the contract
for this season.

NlPPONESE WANT WAR

Pekin, April 9.-Negotiations be-
tween japanese Minister Hayashi and
the Chinese government for settle
ment of the government dispute
seems unlikely TO come to any substan-
tial result. The japanese are unyield-
ing and force the government officials
to express the opinion that Hayashi
would rather have an armed clash than
settlement.
1t is stated that it appears Hayashi
is determined to drive China beyond
the point of further endurance.
China is inclined by the attitude of
the United States in Manchuria to take
a sitter line in her policy than hither-
to.
Tt is believed that the American
fleets presence in the Pacific will tend
to bring the mikako to more favorable
terms.
