NO EVIDENCE TO CONNECT HIM
WITH THE MURDER OF cEA.

Dominick Laptellae was released
from the city jail yesterday as there
vas no evidence to connect him with
the murder of Francisco Cea. Lap
tella was arrested on the complaint Of
Eugene Cea, brother OF the murdered
man, who believed that Laptella was
connected with the crime. Laptella
had been rooming with the murdered
italian for several days before his
death.
The italians OF Billings and vicinity
we're agitated over the crime. Feeling
existed against Laptella, but nothing
could be found against him. He has
been in the city jail for two weeks.
Cea was found dead on the public
road, three miles east OF the city
one night several weeks ago. Ellis
pockets were rifled, his right trousers
leg cut as though to remove money
he Is supposed to carried tied around
his leg, and his Northern Pacific pay

Petitions for roads covering $50
miles Of territory il Yellowstone
county, the CONSTRUCTION 81 which
would cost nearly $4,000. are now be-
ing considered by the board OF county
commissioners.
Never in the history Of the county,
declared one sof the commissioners
yesterday, has there been such q de-
mand for roads. To properly grade
the highways, which have been order
ed opened, and those petitioned for,
would required three times as much
as the annual appropriation for roads
and would give this county nearly
1900 miles Of new public highways.
This enormous demand has been
caused by the rapidity with which the
country tributary to Billings is be
ing settled. Only recently q road 40
miles in length was opened in the Big
Horn valley, while in the other end
Of the county, near Broadview, one
was ordered opened 36 miles long.
Yesterday the board considered
eight petitions for new highways and
prepared to appoint viewers. They
came from every section Of the coun.
ty. One Of them was in. the Mussel-
shell valley. while another was al

them were in the Big Horn basin

those on the inside in Billings to mean
that an effort is to be made to keep

there have been a minority OF the

to adopt such tactics in settlement OF
