ThEATORlUM'S BILL
MOST DECIDED hit
AMUSEMENT SEEKERS LIKE
FEAST OF GOOD THINGS.

f-M H& EL -
That the critical amusement seek
ers Of Billings know and appreciate,
something that is really good in the
line OF their quest Is evidenced by
the patronage accorded the Thea
torium and the appreciation shown
Of The good things that Manager
Bailey is giving them.
The bill the balance OF this week
is fully up to the standard Of any OF
It's predecessors, and this Is saying
3 good deal. One Of the most beauti-
full stories ever told in animated pic
lures is that found in "The Hidden
Hand" a selig production Of merit
and high class.
"The Noble Jester" and "Rufians
tThrashed." both comedies, complete
the bill.

CHARGED WITH PRAcTiclNc
MEDICINE WITHOUT LICENSE.
REAL NAME A MYSTERY
Pseudo Physician, Wrom Butte Doc
tor Alleges Stole His Name, VIII
Enter Plea Today-Treated G. /.
Gardiner in This City.

The Frenchman, who declares that
his name is DR.. Herbert Malliet and
who was arrested at Butte and
brought to this city by Chief Of Police
Bert Talgo, was arraigned before JUS
tice Frank y. Mann yesterday morn
ing on a charge Of practicing medi-
cine without q license. He took the.
statutory time to plead and will enter
his plea at 10 o'clock this morning.
The authorities SO far have not
learned Just what the Frenchman's
real name is. One alais il Otto
Bramer and another which II is said
he travelled under at Butte was DR..
Weitman. The prisoner maintains.
that his name Is DR.. Malliet, despite
the assertion Of the Butte physician
that he stole his name.
The complaint issued yesterday
morning against the Frenchman re-
cites that between May rs and June
10 the defendant practiced medicine
in this city without license. It states
that he treated G. I. Gardiner, local
inspector for the state horticultural
board, and charged MI. Gardiner the
sum Of $25 for the services rendered.
It seems that while MI. Gardiner
was at Huntley inspecting some trees,
he caught cold and called onSthe man
under arrest, who at that time was
practising medicine at Huntley. The
.sdpctor'' told Mr.. Gardiner he was
suffering from kidney trouble and
that he could cure him as he was a
specialist In that line. Mr.. Gardiner
consented to undergoing treatment
and It IL said that the ''doctor" fixed
him up q dose Of medicine that would
kill a horse.
Mr.. Gardiner was not the only one
Of the mans patients, who reside In
Billings. It Is said that he had as pa
tients several other Billings and, Hunt
ley people.
The charge, practising medicine
without license is a misdemeanor I'M
der the statutes and Is punishable by
a fine Of mot less than 500 o more
than $500, imprisonment Of from 80
to 90 days or both fine and imprison-
mont may be inflicted.

YELLOWSTONE CLAIMS BILLINGS
MAN AS ITS VICTIM.
fORDING The RIVER
Buggy overturns Throwing Man Into
the stream-Was Spending Day at
Y Fish Camp East Of city-Body Has
Not Been Recovered.

Joseph Kelley, who was for some

camp Kelley started to return to this
city to get some medicine for a sick
man at the camp, and as he al ford
ing the river to reach the south bank,
1t ii believed the buggy in which he
was riding was overturned or by q
wheel hitting a rock Kelley was
thrown from the buggy.
The first intimation that Kelley's
companions On the days outing trip,
had that Kelley was drowned was
shortly after he left the camp, when
some people on the bank Of the river
Informed them that the buggy had
overturned and that Kelley had been
drowned. The two men hurried to the
point on the island where Kelley was
last seen and found that the horse
had returned to the island pulling
the buggy with him. A portion OF the
harness and n Of the seat cushions
on the buggy was missing.
The body has not been recovered
and It is said an effort Is being made
to find It. The deceased has been a
resident Of Billings for some time
past. was about So years Of age and

The Billings delegation of demo
Gratis to the state democratic conven-
ton at Bozeman returned to Billings
yesterday. All report best Of treat
ment and consideration at the hands
of the convention. The Yellowstone
county delegates got everything they
asked for, their greatest demand be-
ing that w. B. George be named as q
delegate to the national convention at
Denver.
MI. George was probably the most
popular delegate and received the
most votes Of any Of those chosen.
His personal popularity throughout
the entire state was probably respon-
sible for this.
One Of the delegates tells Of an In
stance IN which he was giving the
delegates Of other counties badges
bearing the Billings boosters name.
and as he approached a bunch Of dele
gates from the western part Of the
state and was offering them badges
one Of them said: mo use to give US
q badge. We've got 80 votes for
George anyway"

Great Game at
Princeton TODAY

PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. 14.-With
a tremendous crowd gathering to wit
ness the terrific struggle, the Tiger
and the Bulldog will again meet on
the gridiron this afternoon. While
Princeton rooters are naturally in the
supremacy, a large delegation of Yale
men is on hand and the old town is
fairly reeling with delirious enthusi-
asm. Flags and banners are every
where in evidence and the noise of the
shouting football followers is almost
deafenlng.
\ Yale enters the annual contest as
sured of victory, and the roOters of Old
doubt is the size OF the score that the
New Haven eleven will roll up. The
Princeton hackers have not yet lost
confidence, and hope for victory, but
they are not backing their hope with
real money to any great extent.
Princeton has not won a victory
over Yale since 1903, although the 1906
game was tie. Last years game be-
tween the universities, played at New
Haven, was one of the most exciting
struggles ever. seen on any gridiron
Yale winning by the close, score of IL
to 10.

SPOKANE REPORTER
IN LINE FOR JOB

F. W. Middaugh, political reporter
of the Spokane Chronicle is the latest
applicant for the position of chief clerk
of the house of representatives, and as
his Walla Walla friends are comforting
with the local legislators elect it is
thought that Midaugh stands an ex-
cellent show of securing the office.
During the last session of the legisla-
ture Mr.. Middaugh served as a clerk
of the appropriations committee
and performed the duties so satisfac-
torily that at the end of the session
he was presented with the following
excellent recommendations signed by
every member of the committee:
I'VE, the members of the appropria-
tions committee of the house of repre-
sentatives, tenth legislature of the
state of Washington, hereby expresses
our appreciation of the efficient and
faithful services of ouI clerk, F. w.
Middaugh, and take pleasure in recon-
mending him as a competent and hard
working employe and capable of per-
forming any clerical work requiring
accuracy, ability and devotion to duty"

Dr.D.k. pearSonSRsS Much Faith
In Movement For New Whitman

The university of Idaho, after max
ing a statement that the eligibility OF
the players of the W. S. c. team would
not be questioned, refused to go on
the field with Bryan and Deaner In the
lineup. The claim was that they were
professionals. The two were ruled out
and the state college played without
them. In the course of the game Hahn
and Galbraith were put out for foul
playing, leaving the state college far
from strong in her lineup.
The game was fierce and fast from
whistle to whistle Only three times,
once in the first half, was time taken
out during the entire game. Idaho
seemed to have the best of the argu-
ment slightly, although she was not
able to score after the first five min
uteS.
Washington State College has not
won an intercollegiate game this year
and the impression here is that Whit
man will be a dangerous rival on
Thank sgiving day, Whitman has lost
three games but she won clearly over
Idaho. Great preparations are being
made for the Thanksgiving game, at
which Madame Nordica, the famous
singer, will be an interested spectator.
