In Saturdays great rain storm about | 30 men made their way to the Brick
 building, expecting to listen to the evi
 dence in the case of State against
 Town Clerk M. J. Houlihan, charged
 with embezzlement. It was about
 H. 30 o'clock, when Justice Theron E.
 Platt rapped for order. No fire had
 been built in the room, but some men
 present soon gathered few kindlings
 and feeble blaze was started. At
 terney Alexander Delaney, who ap- peared for the State, arose and stated that Attorney John J. Walsh of Nor walk, who was to appear for MT Houli- han, had met with an accident and was unable to be present. It had been agreed, however. between MT Delaney and the bondsmen, that MT Houlihan would enter demurrer to the com plaint, which would take the case to the Superior court without hearing. MT Houlihan also waived his constitu- tional right to compel the state to make prima facie case on the allega- tions contained in the complaint. Jus tice Platt then bound him over to the criminal Superior court under bonds of $4OOO. D. W. Nc Namara quickly stated that the amount of the bond was satisfactory. The bond was then drawn up by Attorney Delaney and signed by D. w. Mo Namara of Dan bury and M. F. Houlihan of Sandy Hook. The entire proceedings did not take over 15 minutes. The state had subpoened its witnesses, including At torney c. H. Northrop, J. A. Morris, Town Treasurer Wright and others, who were present.

NORTHERN WYOMING TOWN HAS
GREAT POSSIBILITIES.
Fifty Thousand Acres in Vicinity I'm
der lrrisation-sugar Factory and
Oil Refinery, He Says, viii soon be
Erected at Lowell.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Lowell is the coming town of north
ern Wyoming. according to Editor
w. N. Jones of the Lowell Chronicle,
who was in Billings yesterday.
Last week the water was turned
in for the first time into the Coopera-
tive canal, which will irrigate 1900
acres in the vicinity of Lowell, and
the entire fat is now covered with
water for irrigation purposes. Within
q short distance Of Lowell there are
under irrigation more than 10000
acres and much more that is capable
OF cultivation" said Mr.. Jones.
"The growing of sugar beets has
proved a very lucrative proposition to
the northern Wyoming farmers. Dur
ing the past season LOO acres of
beets we're cultivated and the yield
ran from ~ to 20 tons per acre, de-
pending upon the amount of attention
given the crop. Experts declare that
a." -
Lowell is situated in one Of the finest
beet growing sections Of the nation.
1T Is practically certain that a beet
sugar factory will be built in Lowell. A.
canvass has shown that the acreage
of beets required to sustain a factory
can be secured in the vicinity and
thus the long haul and high freight
exacted to haul to the Billings fac.
tory will be eliminated. In this res
pect the Billings factory has taught
the farmers of eastern Montana and
Wyoming the possibilities Of
sugar beet culture and they are going
take advantage of It.
Lowell is also going to have an oil
refinery. Within seven miles of the
city are four flowing wells, one spout
ing about 200 barrels each day and
the others running about 100 barrels
each. Gas a be had in unlimited
quantities by boring, which will fur
nish cheap fuel. "A site for the oil
refinery has already been selected
and It Is to be situated on the Bur
railroad and thus will be close
o transportation facilities"
Mr.. Jones returned to his home yes
morning.
