The body was removed to the Wat.
terson home. after the coroner had de.
clared that the death Of Mr.. Waiter.

that MI. Watterson's watch and cigar.
cite case In one pocket and . pipe

by the fall.
Mrs. Watterson was FRUSTRATED
when informed Of her husbands tragic
death. Nj. Wing said that MI. Water

said, that death was accidental. since
'Watterson had no financial or domes
tic troubles.
The firms business was in good con
dition, Mr. Wing said, and Wattersor

Ky. When about 81 years old he came
to New York and entered the Colum

FOOTBALL TEAM

GAME WITH BOHEMIAN WILL BE
PLAYED NEXT YEAR.

The Billings high school football
team will not be in q position TO q
cept the challenge which Buttg papers
say the Copper Camp high school team
has made. The local high school team
has been disbanded.
There was but game on the
schedule to be played and that was
with Bozeman and as the date was
late it was thought best to 4disband and
play the postponed game next year.
The local team disbands with it's
treasury In good condition. The ex-
penses Of training and of bringing the
Miles City team here have been paid
and the remainder in the treasury will
De used to assist in the expenses Of
the basket ball teams this winter. The
local team did well this year and con
sidering the superior weight OF Miles
City made an excellent showing in the
game with the Cowtown eleven.
Attention Of the Billings high school
athletes will now be diverted to has
ket bali and it is expected that both
boys and girls will have strong teams.
Il Is anticipated that some good games
will be played here with teams from
other high schools in the state and
chat trips will be made to other
places.
( Considerable interest is being mani
tested In the game and candidates for
the team are showing much enthust-
asm. In past years Billings has always
had an excellent team and 1t is ex-
pected that this years i've will be
above former teams.
Schedule OF games for the coming
season will likely be announced with

the strange visit was no other than
Mrs. Reed and that she had II mind
purpose similar to that carried out
in her meeting with Mrs. Phipps when
she visited him. In confirmation OF
the theory that Mrs. Reed was under
the influence OF another woman a local
palnist and clairvoyant appeared ct
the police station this afternoon and
Identified Mrs. Reed as one OF the
m who visited him on Tuesday
Of last week. One gave the name Of
Madame Leroy and seemed to be IN
absolute control over the other. The
other, he said. WAS Mrs. Reed.
The woman claiming to be Madame
Leroy questioned him concerning the
cost OF licenses. advertising. etc, IN
connection with the practice Of HIS
profession, saying that she contem-
plated engaging n this pursuit In this
city.
It further developed that the wo-
men had called at the mansion Of Mrs.
Walter Cheesnan. widow Of the former
president Of the Denver Union Water
company. and very wealthy, several
times, explaining that they wanted to
sell some valuable lace patterns that
had been struggled into this country.
Mrs. Cheesman was unable to see
them.
One Of these women answers the de-
cription OF Mrs. Reed. IT is argued
that the other might have been the
mysterious Madame Leroy. 1t is pref.
ty well established that Mrs. Reed ar.
rived in Denver from the east early
last week, but no one has been able
to account for her between that time
and Saturday last when she registered
at the American as Mrs. H. c. Cole.
There is no confirmation here OF
the story from Chicago that Mrs. Reed
is the woman who secured $4,000
worth of bonds from a brokerage
house there by meal of a worthless
check. Mrs. Reed could easily have
been in Chicago about the time the
incident occurred. Her husband re
fuses to talk on this matter tonight

TO
BE PROSECUTED
YOUNG MAN WILL FACE BUR.
eLARY CHARGE IN COURT.

From Wednesdays Daily.
George Thompson will have to face
a charge Of burglary in the district
court. It was decided yesterday that
Thompson would not be taken back
to the state reform school, as the rec
ords of the Miles City school show
that he is "a years of age.
Special OFFICER O.. H. Price, who
stopped here on the way from BoZe-
man to Milestown thought that there
would be no use to take Thompson
back to the reform school, as he had
been there twice and escaped both
times. During the interval he was out
he served time in the p~enitentiary.
This fact would really keep him out
of the reformatory, as they do not al
low convicts in the place.
Thompson was removed from the
city jail to the county Jail and County
Attorney Wilson filed a complaint
against him charging attempted lar.
ceny.
Thompson was discovered in a
Northern Pacific car some nights ago,
The seal of the car had been broken
and Thompson, it is claimed, was
caught in the act of opening some
boxes: He was sent to the reform
school from this city about a year
ago for breaking into the Manley cigar
store. He escaped from there two
months after his commitment and was
not retaken until discovered in the
car.
