The weather conditions were ideal
but the track was heavy. Dorante
ruled favorite throughout the betting
with Montgomery and Tony Faust, the
Hildreth entry, next in demand. Tony
Faust went to the front early and did
not relinquish the lead until a quar-
ter Of a mile from home. there Don
Enrique, who had moved up rapidly,
assumed command. He drew away
and won handily from Dorante, who
beat Royal Tourist q head. Montgom-
cry was outrun. The winners share

JUDGE FOX CALLS IN JUDGE
STEWART or BOHEMIAN.
TOMORROW
Jones-carwiIe Contest Case Will be
Tried in District Court by Judge
Stewart Of eozeman, sitting for
Judge Fox-Answer Of Jones Filled.

Judge Stewart Of Bozeman has been
called in by Judge Fox to sit In the
contest case brought by Nat G. Car.
vile against Lorin T. Jones for the
Office Of clerk Of the district court,
which is set for hearing in the dis
trict court tomorrow morning. Judge
Stewart is expected to reach Billings
early this morning.
Judge Fox was to have sat in the
case himself, but the serious sickness
Of his father in Colorado called him
away. He requested Judge Stewart
to preside late Wednesday afternoon.
The answer of Lorin T. Jones to
the complaint of Nat Carwile in the
contest proceedings was filed in the
district court Wednesday morning.
The answer denies the statements in
the complaint as to irregularities in
so far as the vote for Mr.. Carwile is
concerned and declares that if the
vote we're recommended it would show
that Mr.. Jones had a larger majority
than was shown by the official re-
turns. 1t denies the claim that lille
gal votes were cast in precinct II.
The deputy clerk OF the district
court has been preparing tally sheets
for the recounting Of the votes, which
will probably begin tomorrow, il
Judge Stewart rules to make the
count. The plan arranged for the
counting of the votes by Judge Fox
had been for the judge to count them,
the deputy clerk and probably the
court ste%nographer to act as tally
keepers and the clerk Of the court to
string the ballots after they were
counted.

REV. Mr.. FRlTSCn
MARRlES FOUR PAIR
POPULAR PASTOR MAKES EIGHT
WELL KNOWN PEOPLE HAPPY.

Cupid and Rev. H. Samuel Fritsch
pastor of the Congregational church
joined hands in the celebration Of
Thanksgiving. Four times the magic
ceremony was had and four happy
couples sent on their way rejoicing
all in the space Of ~ hoafs, which
the dominic thinks is going some.
The first of the happy events took
place Wednesday afternoon at 5
o'clock in the parlor of the Stockwell
Paul E. Bruins and Hazel Blanche
Trewin, both Of Park City, mutually
plighted their troth and embarked up,
on the sea Of matrimony.
The parson next betook himself to
No. 202 North Twenty-ffth street
where Frank G. Thompson and Marie
Jones were awaiting. At 1880 o'clock
the words were spoken and the prom.
Uses given which made them husband
and wife. The wedding took place in
the presence of a small group Of rela-
tives and friends Of the couple OF
which M. B. MacCartney and Marga-
ret G. Charpentier signed as witness
es. The hungry eyes of the clergy
man rested upon a BEAUTIFULLY decorat.
ed sumptuously Jared wedding table,
but although the temptation to stay
was strong, there must be no tarrying
for another couple was waiting at the
parsonage.
Francis M. Smith and Mabel T.
Eastman entered the parsonage door
while the court house clock was trik-
ing the hour Of 8. The magic words
were again spoken, and the hearts
and lives Of these two well known
young people OF Billings were united.
They were accompanied by w. e.
Langstaff and Eva Jansen, who signed
the marriage certificate.
The parson slept tine sleep OF the
just with the consciousness of having
done a good days work, and in the
early morning, ere his toilet was COM
pleted, was aroused by the pleading
voice of a cabman who was waiting
at the door to take him to the resi-
dence Of Bert shorey on North Thir-
ty-second street. Here, at s o'clock,
in the presence of a circle of immedi-
ate friends. Norman w. Staley Of
Bear Greek and Flora B. Hamilton of
New Auburn, Minnesota, were pro-
nounced man and wife. Mrs. Bert
Shorey and r. e. Clark signed the Ger.
tificate as witnesses.
After partaking Of the delightful
wedding breakfast, the Clergyman
spent the morning in filling out his
marriage licenses, and then went to
the union Thanksgiving services at
the Presbyterian church and was
truly thankful.

BROWN ROLLS
HIS %BENEfACTOR
BROWNS IN JAIL AND WILL GET
HIS THIS MORNING.

r. G. Brown vas arrested by OFFICER
Soy last night, charged with having
rolled his benefactor of about 50 In
money. Brown was in town last night
and after being taken in and wined
and dined on Minnesota avenue by a
friend and taken to an excellent bed
by his philanthropic friend-was mean
enough to get up first and "frisk" his
friends trousers for all the money
they contained. MI. Brown was not
thorough enough in his search, as he
overlooked three crisp IS bills which
his partner had in his inside vest
pocket. He was not discovered until
last night, when he was pointed out
to Officer Soy and was landed in The
city bastile. He will probably get all
that is coming to him in the morning,
when he comes up before Judge Mann.
There were several Thanksgiving
"jags."
Jim Murphy, who looks as if he
might be a Northern Pacific coal chute
hand, had a proper t'souse' on, and
was taking up the street in his mean
derings. He rolled and tossed like a
ship in a storm and bumped into the
pedestrians on the street. He is a
guest at the Hotel d. Talgo.
J.. v. ROBBIE, who is listed as a
drunken vag on the police b!otter, got
his nose very wet on the "suds that
made Milwaukee jealous" and he, too,
was taken to the haven Of rest by kind.
hearted OFFICER Ed. Ross.
g. w. Green, is also in the city
lookup, with a charge Of drunk and
disturbance after his name. Green
took advantage of the glad holiday
season to get drunk and ABUSIVE. lie
will be given an opportunity to ex-
plain in police court this morning.

away with wood entirely" is a remark
often heard, and, indeed, when one
stands on Lower Broadway in New
York and looks up at the towering
skyscrapers, the statement seems to
contain much truth. AS a matter of
fact, however, the popular idea that
fireproof materials will do away with
the need of using lumber in a com
p%aratively few years is a very errone-
Gus one. All of the various fi~reproof
materials going into the approved con-
%struction of the more substantial build
ings RI used in greater quantities now
than the world dreamed Of few years
ago, yet the heavy demand for lumber
continues.
That wood predominates is shown
by the annual building records. OF
the permits used for buildings erected
last year, approximately 81 per cent
were constructed Of wood, and the re-
naming 80 per cent Of 1re-resisting
material, according to a report issued
by the geological survey on operations
in 40 leading cities Of the. country.
These figures are the more significant
when it is realized that they only rep.
resent the building activities in the
largest cities; they do not take into
account the construction Of dwellings,
stores and other buildings in the
thousands Of small cities and towns
scattered over and not included in the
40 cities on which the reckoning is
made.

WOOD STILL PRINCIPAL MATER
IAL USED IN BUILDING.

Great as the advance in fire-proof
construction has been during the last
10 years there has been no let-up in
the use of lumber, and both architects
and builders find themselves so de-
pendent on wood today that they are
compelled to admit that the forests
of the country are likely to be the
chief source of building material for
many years to ONE.
THE use Of cement, terra Gotta,
brick and stone, with a framework of
steel, will make it possible soon to do
