LIGHTED WITH CANDLES AND
TRIMMED WITH TlNsEL.
MANY RETTYPRESENTS
Young Ladies at the Telephone offices
Were Remembered by Their Friends
With Scores Of Presents and QUAINT.
ties Of Candy, Nuts and Fruit.

From Saturdays Daily.
Santa Claus saw the Billings tele-
phone girls. Scores Of pretty pres
ents, quantities Of candies, nuts and
fruit were sent to the young ladies at
both exchanges by subscribers and
probably no place in Billings saw a
more Merry Christmas than the two
telephone exchanges.
At the Mutual Telephone exchange
the young ladies had a Christmas tree,
which was set on top the switchboard
and which was prettily decorated with
tinsel and Christmas decorations,
while among the branches were many
little incandescent candles, which
were lighted. The presents for the
young ladies were placed on this tree
and it was filled and the, switch board
surrounding it was filled. It was light
ed up on each shift Christmas eve and
the young ladies took their presents
off.
christmas day is the most joyous
time in the telephone girls life. She
may be the one on whom the sub
scriber vents his wrath the other 1854
days of the year, but on Christmas it
is all joy and gladness~ in the tele.
phone office, for probably no place in
the city receives SO many gifts for
the employees. At Christmas time the
telephone girls + supremely happy.
And yesterday was no departure from
this at either of the local exchanges.
There was candy and to spare, nuts
sufficient to last for weeks and fruit
for all. there were other little re-
membranes and useful gifts sent to
them.

URYPROBlNGnlSDEAT
Investigating How John Christensen
Came to His End on Meyers Ranch
in Carbon county-karI Klein
Under Arrest.
Especial to The Gazette.)

~ AS u
JOLIET, Mont, Dec. 25.-The cor
oner's jury is still investigating the
death of John Christensen, whose
dead body was found in a room in q
house on the ranch of e. Meyer six
miles from Joliet. Karl Klein the
father-in-law Of Ehler Meyer, who
owns the ranch, is under arrest on
suspicion Of having known something
about the killing of Christensen
which he declares was suicide.
Among the facts brought out, SC
far, is that Christensen and Klein
were alone at the ranch house, that
the dead man was found at his bed
side, partly %undressed, where he had
weltered in his own blood from q
ragged gunshot wound behind his ear.
and with the shot gun lying across
his arms. On account of the location
Of the wound and the fact that his
flesh failed to show any gunpowder
burns, it seems almost impossible that
the man committed suicide.
Klein was placed under arrest and
was taken to Red Lodge today, and
lodged in the county jail.
BY letters found on his person and
in the dead mans grip, it appears he
has a mother, wife and several child
rem in Denmark, and a sister in st.
Louis. Among the articles found on his
person was twenty dollars and sixty
cents in money, a good finger ring
and a postofice money order receipt
for a small sum

CONTRACTS HAVE BEEN SIGNED
FOR 1000 ACRES.
Wagon Road Being Constructed From
Cody to the Yellowstone Park
Settlers Are Flocking Into That Sec
tion-Work on Government Project.

From Saturdays Daily.
c. R. Watkins, who maintains a
home in this city, but who spends q
majority of his time at Cody, Wyo-
ming, where he has immense wool in
~terests, has been in the city for the
past few days visiting his daughters
and will return to Cody this morning.
Cody is a good town. said he yes
terday. by that I mean that the
country around it is being improved
wonderfully and settlers are flocking
in and the land is being taken up rap
idly.
THE big government dam is of
course largely responsible for this.
Work on the dam has been practically
suspended for a couple of months, but
understand that it will start again
the first Of March.
Il also understand that 1000 acres
of sugar beets will be put in in the
vicinity of Cody the coming season,
which will be shipped to the Billings
sugar factory.
This shows what is being done
there in the way of agricultural pro.
duction.
THE Burlington railroad is at work
on the road, changing it to the oppo.
site side Of the river from where It
now runs and that will put the road
through a fine farming section. The
track will cross the river at the mouth
of Sage creek and run into Cody, and
will do an immense business in haul.
ing beets to the factory and will be
in touch with the farming lands. AS
the roads now stands it is on the
wrong side of the river.
IA big force OF government con
tractors are at work on a wagon road
from Cody to the Yellowstone park,
which will be a grand line from a
scenic standpoint. There are over SO
teams engaged on the road and the
contractors expect to have the work
done and the road open for travel, by
the time the park season opens.
Billings has always been my fav
orite town, and l do not think there is
a city in this section that has the fu'
ture that this city has. 1t has the
country surrounding and everything tc
make it a big place and the fact that
Cody will ship the. product of 1000
acres of beets to the Billings sugar
factory, makes SO much more for1Bill
ings.
There are wonderful opportunities
in the vicinity of Cody, however, and
that will be n Of the best farming
districts in the whole northwest"
Mr.. Watkins states that the present
winter has been a fine one for sheep
and he says that his focks are in
the best possible condition.
