OFFICER BROOKS
CHAMPION SPRINTER

Officer Brooks has often boasted
of being a sprinter, but every
one he told that to
rather doubted his word and
would say that they had to be
shown how he could get any speed
out Of that 800 pound carcass of his.
If any of those doubters had been
on the street about $3.50 Friday
evening they would have been
thoroughly satisfied that he could
run some"
The fun started in front of the
Combination saloon when he at
tempted to place under arrest man
by the name of M. B. Quiglev, on
a serious charge. Quigley was not
going to be caught so easily and
landed on Brooks with a heavy
right handed swing and started
down the sidewalk and Brooks after
him, who managed to reach him
with good swipe with his UNI
brella and knocked him into the
gutter. He was up again right
away and went racing down the
street thru the mud with Brooks
close behind.
The race ended in a big mud
puddle in front of the Cadillac
hotel and Brooks had his man by
the collar, both of them literally
covered with mud.
Both of them were all out of
wind and they got over to the Jail
before either of them could speak,
when Quigley who is a little
Cockney spoke up and said;
Il thought I was a sprinter but
you have got me beat.''
AS no direct evidence could be
found against him, he was given
chance to float out of town the
next day by Judge Reed.

SHOWER FOR
BRIDE-TO-BE

Miss Marie Lano, one of White
fish's popular young ladies was the
recipient of a miscellaneous shower
Tuesday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. E. w. Collins, and received
q great number of beautiful and
useful presents.
The afternoon was pleasantly
spend in a social way. A dainty
lunch was served at which finger
bowl played an important part and
furnished the main amusement.
This shower was given proceeding
an important event which will take
place in the near future, but the
bride-to-be was reluctant about an
nouncing the date. It is under
stood that the lucky young man
is one of Jim Hill's most popular
engineers, no other than our con-
genial friend, Jas. Shoaf.
Those present were: Mesdames
Kasow, Shoaf, Udell, King, Green,
Miller, S. and B. O. Mullin, Tall
man, Conlin, Mason, Bonner, Col
Inns and Miss Lottie Brown.

BOWLERS START
BOWLING LEAGUE

The Club Bowling alleys are very
near completed and may be in run
ming order today. This is the in
tention of the management unless
something unforeseen turns up.
All the bowlers are beginning to
get very enthusiastic, and from
appearances it looks favorable for a
bowling league to be organized here
in very short time.
The Great Northern office boys
have already organized team and
issues challenge this week to meet
any team next Monday evening
The Big Bend Light and Power Co
will have team, the roundhouse
employees have been talking of or.
ganizing one, the Volunteer fire.
men have made a move in that
direction and so has the Senay
Mercantile Co.
1t is desired to get six teams or.
ganized and then form a league
and have a schedule drawn up fo1
match games during the winter,
and then at the end of the season
there will he prizes given to the
tea and individual who makes the
best record.
A great deal of friendly rivalry
Is stirred up this way which will
furnish plenty of wholesome amuse-
ment during these long evenings

TERRORIzED WOMEN
ON TRAIN NO. !

A man giving his name as Ed
ward Kelly was arrested Friday
evening by Constable Downcy, wEo
is also special agent for the Great
Northern, for prowling around in
the tourist sleeper on train No.
while it was standing at the station
here. There were only a few
women in the car and they were all
terrorized by Kelly who tried to get
into one of the berths. The con-
ductor happened along and seeing
the cause of the trouble, called
Officer Downey who was in the
depot at the time and placed him
under arrest.
He was given hearing in JUS
tice Reeds court Saturday after
noon and plead not guilty. He
claimed that he was slightly in
toxicated and went into the car
with the intention of hiding away
to steal ride, but this did not
look good to the judge, as the evil
dence submitted showed that he
was in there for no good purpose,
probably to steal, so he was SEN
fenced to serve 80 days in the
county Jail at Kalispell.

ABOLISHED

: A notice from T. D. Tuttle, Sec
retary Of the state department of
public health, has been received by
Drs. Houston and Lees, calling at
tention to the fact that after the
first of the coming year there will
be no more quarantining of small
pox cases in Montana.
1t is their opinion that the new
rule will eventually prove a good
thing for the reason that it will
bring people to realize the impor-
tance Of vaccination. They state
that once the quarantine is done
away with, the public will be
brought face to face with the nee
essity Of preventing the disease in a
maner in which they have not been
before, in that they will understand
that they must either be vaccinated
or take more chances than they
. have been required to do in the
past.
The new regulations require that
houses where smallpox patients are
living shall be placarded, but per-
sons may enter and leave the house
as they please. Persons afflicted
with smallpox will not be allowed
to enter any common carrier, such
as railway trains and street cars.
The letter sent out by DR.. Tuttle
follows:
You are hereby notified that on
and after the first Of January, 1910,
: the procedure with regard to small
pox will be as follows: A placard
bearing the words Smallpox Here,
must be placed on the house where
there is a case of smallpox The
persons in the house are not re-
quired to remain in. This is
simply done as warning to Others
to keep out if they SO .!desine-
This rule does not in any way
change that portion of the law re-
quiring smallpox to be reported tc
the health officer. It must be re-
ported the same as heretofore
Neither does it permit those who
are afflicted with smallpox to enter
any common carrier.o

R.N. A. HAVE
GOOD TIME

The Royal Neighbors of America
are surely bunch of live ones and
have become the most popular
lodge in the city during the past
few months. and they also boast of
having the largest membership roll.
By their system there is always
something doing and a social good
time at each meeting. The result
is that there is always a large at
tendance and the members are
made closer neighbors to one an
other.
At the last regular meeting there
was an unusually good time. After
the regular routine of work was
over with, the entertainment COM
mittee composed of Mesdames Per-
due, Greiser and McCabe endeav-
ored to show the camp a good time.
Their motto was, Backward, turn
backward, oh time in your flight;
make me a child again just for to-
night.'' Consequently everyone
forgot that they were grown ups'
and certainly enjoyed the games of
Fruit Basket, "Spin the Platter"
etc., even to playing Forfeit"
where one of the leading members
showed his abilities in an acrobatic
stunt, and another in a graceful
bear dance," which took down
the house.
After the entertainment another
surpise was sprung in the nature Of
a very appetizeing lunch, which
was served by eight Of the new
members. The pleasing feature of
the event was that they were enter
tanned and feasted by members who
had just recently been initiated into
the order, which speaks we'll for the
interest that is being taken by
them.
1t was at late hour when the
meeting broke up and as each one
departed for their homes they all
felt that they had had time that
is worthy of long remembrance.

Mr. Midzutani has had this prop
osition under consideration for
some time. having realized that it
would be a good paying business.
but has kept it quiet until all ar
rangements have been completed,
and NOW wishes to announce to the
public that by the first of the year
he will have in operation a first
class steam laundry in which he
will be able to do everything in his
line, the same as it would be done

longing to James Little, and will
have the building remodeled into
an up-to-date laundry building. in

fimsily built as on most roads oc-
Cured in the local yards last Fri
day evening, and fortunately no
one was seriously injured, although
several railway men were badly
shaken up, some OF them sustaining
minor yet painful injuries. The
passenger train, No. 4, pulled by
John Nelson, was coming into the
yards at high rate of speed, and
the escaping steam from the engine
coupled with storm raging pre-
venting him seeing that the switch
was open until he was right into it.
The engine smashed into a freight
engine from which Engineer Killam
and his fireman jumped before the
engines collided.
Not passenger on the train was
hurt save employees of the road
The affable traffic manager, w. P.
Kenny, who was in car was
thrown and received a cut on the
back of the head and was shaken

Last night was the last Of moving
pictures at the Gem Theater. The
place IL now closed down, and will
open up very shortly with a new
name and a wonderful new attrac-
tlou, The new name will be High
land Park, and the new attraction
will be the Human Roulette Wheel
which Harry Werner has brought
down from the Coast with him.
The roulette wheel is one of the
most fascinating sports imaginable.
A slightly convex disc, about forty
feet in diameter, Is rotated by an
electric motor. Those who wish to
enjoy the sport seat themselves on
the disc and try 10 hold their posi-
lions.
but It Is almost impossible 10
keep from being thrown around IN
less ono takes position close TO
the center. The fun Is simply great
trr riders aud for spectators alike.
There IL absolutely nothing immod.
est about the sport. and the Human
Roulette Wheel will certainly make
q big hit with the people of Homo
lulu when II starts, which will be
within the next few days.

The program which the company

Tosti, steerage passenger on the

Roosevelt was standing with his son
Kermit.
He has let them take away my

TAFT TALKS TARIFF
TO PROMINENT
OFFICIALS
PRESIDENT DOES NOT INTEND
TO DICTATE TO CONGRESS
WHAT IT SHALL DO.

Washington, March 29-President
Taft talked today with Senator Hale
Representatives Dalze!l of Pennsyl-
vania and Henshaw of Nebraska, and
John Barrett, director the bureau of
American republics.
President Taft, it is stated, intends
to leave all legislative matters to
congress and does not intend to die
tate to that body what it shall do. AT
the same time he takes advantage of
the calls by senators and representa-
tiVes to state, in response to their re-
quests for suggestions, his own posi-
ton.
President Taft, it is said believes
the system of taxation to be adopted
to meet the growing deficiency in the
treasury should be calculated to cause
the least friction. 1t is for this rea-
son that he strongly favors the in
heritance tax. President Taft has let
1t be known that he approves the
Payne bill in principle and that he
believes more schedules in the Dingley
bill should be revised downward rath-
er than upward, If any should go for
ward at all.
John Barrett today presented to the
president his views as to the effect
of the proposed new tariff bill on the
export trade of the United States
with the Latin American countries.
His interview had special reference
to the proposed countervailing duty
on coffee. He said that the imposi-
tion of this tariff and a further tar
iff on the raw products of South
America that are not produced in this
country would nullify all recent eff
forts to build up trade with southern
republics. Brazil, it is declared, with
a foreign commerce valued at $780,
100000, feels that the new tariff bill
strikes a fatal blow at her prosper
ity

GOVERNMENT WINS BIG VICTORY
IN CASE OF ILLEGAL SEcUR.
ING OF COAL LANDS.
FUEL COMPANY PAYS FINE
Subsidiary Organization Of the Rio
Grande Railroad Admits Having
FrauduIentIy Secured Valuable
Ground in Utah, and Pays $200, 900
Into Court-ReIinquishes Property.

Salt Lake City, March ga nota-
bic victory was won by the United
States government in the district
court this afternoon when the Utah
| Fuel company paid into court 100000
and pleaded guilty to the charge of
obtaining coal land by fraud
The company, a subsidiary corpora
ton of the Rio Grande railroad, to-
gether with Henry G. Williams, Robert
Forester, George A. Moore, William
d. Foster, Elroy N. Clark and Alexan-
der H. Cowie officers and employees,
was indicted by federal grand jury
in April 1907, for obtaining title to
144O acres of coal land in Sewer coun-
ty, Utah. through dummy entrymen
The indictment was attacked, as was
the constitutionality of the law under
which it was brought. Both law and
indictment We're ultimately sustained
by the supreme court of the United
States and the defendants were on
the verge of trial by jury when the
surrender took place.
The pleas of guilty was entered to
day by J. F. Vaile, general counsel for
the fuel company. The court assessed
900 in favor Of the government for
coal taken from the ground. The land
reverts to the public domain and the
company loses the $14,400 fee origi-
naly paid, as we'll as the further sums
paid to the dummy entrymen through
whom it was taken up.
The indictments against the indi-
vidual defendants were dismissed. as
We're five suits in equity involving
many thousands of acres taken up by
dummies as agricultural land and aft
erwards turned over to the fuel COM
pany.
Special Attorney Fred A. Maynard,
who has prosecuted the coal cases for
the government, explains the dismissal
Of the equity cases by saying that the
land involved has been bonded and the
bonds sold through the Morton Trust
company of New York to innocent
purchasers. Rather than reimburse
these purchasers to the amount of
81, 100000 it was deemed advisable to
accept the plea of guilty in the crimi-
nal cases and let the title to the
bonded property remain undisturbed.
An indictment for perjury against
Thomas A. Moore, which grew out of
the testimony before the grand jury,
was also dismissed.
