BRANCH TO
SUGAR CITY
Milwaukee Will Probably Build
to Billings From Roundup
In the Spring.

1T is generally understood
among railroad contractors en-
ployed on thexetension that a branch
Of the St. Paul line will be con-
structed from Roundup to Billings
as soon as spring is we'll advanced
being the first branch line
Of the new trans-continental rail-
road to be constructed" declared a
prominent Milwaukee official recent
ly.
The intention Of the company
to build this branch is common talk
and from what | gather the surveys
have already been made.
It seems that the Milwaukee is
anxious to get some of the business,
which originates in this section and
also to be able to place the coal
from its mines an the Billing mar
ket, believing that Billings is des-
tined to make great strides in a
manufacturing way and thus have
big demand for fuel in the near
future.
/ have it from good authority
that it is the intention Of the COM
pany to build this railroad just as
soon as it has it's coast extention
completed and it has advertised
that it will have trains running to
the coast by July / l am inclined
to think that the prospect Of trains
running on branch of the Mil
waukee into Billings inside of eigh-
teen months and probably inside of
one year are excellent.
It is the understanding Of the
contractors to whom l talked that
the branch to Billings will be ex-
tended to Yellowstone National
park, going up the Saltwater river
to the vicinity Of Cooke City and
opening a rich, but undeveloped
country.
It has been generally conceded
that the branch from Roundup to
Billings would be built as was
stated in The Record some time
ago

MAIL SERVICE
TO BUTTE
Railway Postoffice Established
on st. Paul This Week..Is
Great Convenience.

Railway mail service has been
inagurated on the st. Paul railroad
between Miles City and Butte, all
arrangements having been made by
Charles D. Wilson, superintendent
of that branch of the postal service
in this state. Just how many ad-
ditional clerks will be added to the
force working out Of Butte by the
St. Paul service has not been an
nounced but it probably will be
four. The first mail car was run
Monday morning going west.
For some time past there has
been pouch mail service between
Miles City and Harlowton.
Under the new arrangement the
run from Lombard to Lewistown will
curtail to between Harlowton and
Eewistown, and the ends Of the runs
for the clerks on the main line of
the St. Paul will be Butte and Miles
City, the run to be known as the
Butterflies City division. The
establishment of a railway post
Office on the St. Paul will bring
Butte into much closer touch with
Lewistown and Musselshell country
than heretofore and will be of much
benefit to the iobbing interests Of
that city as we'll as to the residents
of the territory bordering along the
st. Paul. Already mail service is
established over the st. Paul from
the east into Miles City.

LEwISTOwn MINERS OUT
LeWistoWn Coal Miners Firm in
Their Demand for In
creased Wages.

The coal miners held meeting
at their hall Monday evening, when
the walk out at the Spring Creek
mines was discussed, but no action
was taken looking to settlement
of the trouble, says the Lewistown
Argus. In fact, the parties appear
to be further apart than ever. The
miners announce their determination
not to return to work at the scale
agreed at the Helena conference,
while the management states that
this offer is the best that can pos
sibly be made and there the matter
stands. Meantime all the other
properties are mining the usual
amount Of coal, SO that the danger
of an immediate shortage has been
overcome and it is likely that there
will be sufficient supply to meet
the purely loal demands throughout
the winter.
County Commissioner Neil was
in town several days this week.
While here the opportunity was inn
proved to show him that some of
the roads in this vicinity are badly
in need Of fixing and he promised
to do what he could in seeing that
something would be done to remedy
the condition.

The Sheridan Enterprise says;
Roundup is said to be the place
where a preacher, marrying COUP
le, asked the woman; DO you take
this man for better or for worse?'
She interrupted by explaining; No
Judge, | want him jest as he is. II
he gifts any better he'll die, and ii
he gifts any wuss I'll kill him my
SELF" We hardly know whether
this is slam at the men folks OF
ladies of Roundup, but anyway, the
"Y" Club ought to take up the
matter and show the Sheridan man
where he's wrong in either case.

of the Montana Mountaineers, a

AlRSHIP BURSTS;
TWENTY MEN FALL,
Giant Navigable Balloon Makes Assem-
sion Near Berkeley, Cal, and Ex-
plodes in View OF Thousands.

OAKLAND, Cal. N r @2.-Thc great
Morrcil airship, the largest ever con
structed, collapsed on lis trial trip today
when about 300 feet above the ground
and dashed the sixteen occupants of the
car to the earth. None was killed. but
all were seriously injured, suffering brok-
en- legs and arms and probably internal
injuries. 1t is believed several will die.
1t was shortly before noon when the
ascension was made and thousands of
people had gathered to witness the trial.
The giant ship, which was $50 feet long
and SO feet in diameter. combination
of the aeroplane and dirigibe air craft
driven by six gasoline engines generating
700 horsepower, rose successfully from
the ground to height Of probably 300
feet The car was occupied by sixteen
men who had become interested in the
invention ana who agreed to make the
trial trip before taking stock in it. They
were all residents OF Berkeley and Oak
land.
Suddenly. the large gas bag contain
ing 10000 cubic feet Of illuminating gas,
burst. The machine began to settle
slowly as the gas escaped and it APP
peared that it would settle to the ground
without injuring the occupants of the
car. When it had reached within seven
ty-tive feet of the ground however, the
remaining gas was let out with "A rush
and the whole machine, thousands of
pounds in weight. dashed to the ground
with terrific force. The occupants of
the car were caught under the heavy
machinery and all seriously injured.
Among the thousands watching the
ascent were many women and as the big
machine collapsed and dashed to the
ground, scores Of them tainted. The
injured men were taken to the Roose-
welt hospital in Berkeley.

covered on her premises and the fact
that expressmen had many times DE-
livered to her boxes and trunks now

the chief materials for the construction
OF the strange story of her career. She

theory of the prosecution that Mrs.
Guinness deliberately lured men to
her farm by means Of an advertisement
In Chicago newspaper. in which she
represented herself as an attractive and
amiabe widow looking for mate. She
alleged that she was the owner Of

FIREMEN HURT AT WORK
BLAZE IN EAST WATER STREET
CROCKERY STORE SERIOUS.
Companies Forced Back by Dense
Smoke Struggle to Save Property
Adjoining Building.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May %. 1903.
Fire in the crockcry store of Yuuger
& Zorn, 41S-420 East Water street, at
& o'clock Friday night caused a loss of
approximately $4,000. -Four firemen
We're injured by falling glass and tmbcrs,
but none seriously. The blaze was dini-
cult to fight because large quantities of
intlammable material. such as packing
boxes and excelsior, burned with dense,
yellowish smoke, holding the fire fighters
at bay.
Slight losses We're sustained by the
Baltimore lunch room and the J. l..
SAKE Sign Painting company, north of
the building. Hoffman X Lehman 422
East Water street. suffered damage from
water getting into furS stored in the
building. The stock of the Tainsh
Printing company was slightly damaged.
The fire, which is thought to have
started in the basement from electric
wires was first noticed by Il. \. Yum
ger when leaving the store for the night.
He sent in an alarm. Occurring as it did
in the early evening, the fire attracted
crowds of people on their way home and
in n short time the streets were packed.
Because the floors burned through so
quickly, it was impossible for the fire
men to venture far into the building and
the fire gained great Roadway. In Il
few minutes the place was aiamc from
basement to the roof. The department
attacked the blaze from front and rear
and from adjoining roofs with many
lines Of hose including stand piln
streams and iircbOat lines. Men cling
ing to frail ladders and standing on the
roofs. We're driven back time and again
by the thick black volumes of sitting
smoke.
The second floor of the building col.
lapscd at o'clock and the big plate
windows were carried out with crash.
Twenty men stood in front of these, four
OF whom were cut by the falling pieces.
Charles +. Van Norman of engine COM
pany No. p was struck by falling tim
Der and badly bruised. At . O'Clock the
fire was under control.
The value of the Iungcr & Zorn stock
is placed at $4,000 and the insurance is
about $1,000. The building which is
owned by Eugene .Wuesthott. is damaged
to the extent of about $4,000, also in
sured.
The cause of the floors collapsng so
soon after the blaze had fairly started"
said Chief Clancy today, lis because the
building was a mere framework. There
were no walls except front and back
walls. The wooden sCantlng and other
supports that held the floors were insert
ed in the party walls on each side and
when these burned away the floors fell"
Others say that the building was a
dangerous one for the tircmcn and that
had not the dense volumes of smoke drv
en- back the fire fighters some would have
lost their lives by vcnturing inside This
condition of the building was discovered
by Chief Clancy and Others upon CXamln-
ing the place today.
