A GREAT TENOR is FOUND.

which he made famous in the old days
A few days later he was struck on
the head by flying timber and was
taken to the hospital. On recovering
consciousness he was seized with a
desire to enter the old life. When he
leaves the hospital he says that he
will go to work on his voice, and as
he knows he is stronger and better
suited for the life than before, he is
determined to seek the first opportuni-
ty to appear on the stage.
Won Godin was born in Sweden of
German and English parents. He was
educated abroad and received his mu-
steal training under Garcia and Mar.
chest. When II years old he came to
America with his parents. For a few
years he studied at the University of
Minnesota, where astronomy was his
hobby, but the wonders of his voice
being revealed he was sent TO Europe
to study. He was singing with Camille
d'Arville when his father died and
left him $4,000. II was this fortune
that was mis- undoing.

The cavalrymen who have been sta

posts, and as soon as stables can be
built the horse school will open.
England and France have remount

one heretofore. If the one here proves
a success. it is probable that all horses
and mules for the United States army
hereafter will go through a course or
training before graduating into regular
army life.

years in the service" said Capt.

Strange Double Verdict In Suit to Re-
cover Drainage Taxes.

Billings, Mont.-What is probably
one of the strangest verdicts ever
brought by jury in this state was
returned by the IL men trying the is
sues in the case in which the Billings
Sugar company and farmers whose
lands are included in the suburban
drain district, are suing the commits
sioners, treasurer and drain commits
sioner of Yellowstone county to re-
cover drain taxes paid under protest
and to enjoin the collection of the re-
naming two assessments levied to de-
fray the cost of constructing the
drain.
The jury in its general verdict
awarded judgment to the plaintiffs for
the entire amount of the suburban
drain tax, and in special findings,
which consisted of interrogatories
regarding questions adduced by the
evidence, found In favor of the defend.
ants in every detail.
The Sugar company and farmers
claimed that their lands were not in
any way benefited by the drain; that
the drain commissioner had not pro-
ceeded according to the law in estab-
fishing the district. and attacked the
constitutionality of the law.
The special findings approved the
action of the drain commissioner in
detail; declared that the lands Of the
plaintiffs have been and will be bene.
fitted by the drain. and that public wei.
fare and the condition Of the plaintiffs
lands demanded the construction OF
the drain. In fact every contention OF
the defense was affirmed.
1t is believed that the Jurors mis-
understood the wording of the general
verdict and labored under false i'm
| preston in returning It.

And watch the stream,

And the green grass nice
For my feather bed;
