SPECIAL TRAIN
FOR SATURDAY
Burlington Will Run Train and Make
Cut Rate for Big Celebration
at Hardin.
WILL OPEN DITCHES
Host of Billings Business Men Plan on
Attending Ceremonies in Connection
with Turning of Water into Two
Leggin Canal.

A special train leaving this city at
s o'clock and spec1a. rate of $3.50
for the round trip are the inducements
offered by the Burlington for the busi-
ness men of this/city to attend the
big celebration Which will be held in
Hardin tom prov in connection with
the opening of the Two Leggin ditch
and two other irrigation projects on
the Big Horn. From present indica-
tions the train will not go to Hardin
empty. Many of the members of the
Chamber of Commerce are planning
on taking the trip, and the Second
regiment band of this city will be ta-
ken along to furnish music through
out the day.
The main event of the day at Har-
din will be the opening of the Two
Leggin canal, which will place under
irrigation some 10000 acres of the
rich soil of the Big Horn valley. Gov
ernor Norris has telegraphed his ac-
ceptance of the invitation of the direc-
tors of the Two Leggin company to be
present at the opening and to deliver
an address. He will be the man who
will turn the headgates and send the
waters of the Big Horn down the new
ditch. State Engineer Wade will also
be present and several other state Of
ficers are planning on making the trip
with the governor.
But the opening of the ditch will not
be the only feature of the day. The
people of Hardin are anxious that
the state become acquainted with the
farming possibilities of their valley,
and toward that end the visitors will
be given an opportunity to see the
town and the marvellous country
which surrounds it. A free lunch will
be served, and the Hardin Commercial
club promises to put on it's gala at
tire and receive its guests royalty. Ac-
commodations for several hundred
people will be made at the dinner, and
the people of Hardin say that if sup
plies run low they know where plenty
more is to be had on short notice.
The three new canals will irriage
upwards of 10000 acres of the lower
Big Horn valley All have been COM
pleted within the past few months,
and water will be turned into all Of
them for the first time Saturday. 1t
is said that there is an abundance Of
water in the Big Horn this year, and
that the prospects for bountiful har-
vest in the southwestern portion of
this county were never brighter.

VERA CRUZ, May 6.-Reports
reaching here say that all passenger

Bern on the Vera Cruz & Pacific, are
running through that town with all
windows and blinds closed and doors
locked as the result of the shooting
affray at San Bern between a gang
of rubber thieves and Harold San

cago and son of the owner of the
Sanborn ranch. Seven were killed.
Reports are that Sanborn is now in
the hospital at Rincon Antonio, under
arrest. 1t is understood that his con-
dition is serious. Stories of the fight
say that the rubber thieves had sold
their rubber to the owner Of the San
born ranch and spent their time in
gambling away their money.

thieves sprang to his feet and opened
fire with a magazine rifle. Sanborn
made his way home and returned
with a gun. The rifleman had already
killed five men, all of whom were
brothers, and one woman, their Sis
ter. The rif1eman and his companion
opened fire when the American ap-
preached. Sanborn, replying, killed
one of the two.
The rif1eman wounded Sanborn,
gathered all rifles and ammunition he
could find, took the best horses and
rode off.

DECREE is LAW.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 6.-Judge
Smith Mcpherson, in the federal court
here today, continued in force the
temporary injunction recently granted
by Judge John F. Phillips, restraining
Siebert Jones, circuit attorney of st.
Louis, from prosecuting the suit filed
by him in the circuit court Of that city
seeking to restrain the railroads OF
Missouri from charging a three-cent
passenger rate.
No other state officers are included
in the injunction order, which is to
remain in force until differently or
dered by the federal court"
The order contained the reserva-
ton, however, that supplemental or
ders might be issued against other
persons should subsequent events de-
mand such action.
Judge Mcpherson said that he did
not include Attorney General Major
and the members of the state railroad
and warehouse commission in the in
junction because they had stated un-
der oath that they had not inspired or
encouraged the st. Louis suit and did
not intend to have anything to do with
it in the future.
Judge Mcpherson based his decision
today upon the belief that the purpose
of the St. Louis suit was to relitigate

Representative Murphy of Missouri
Prefers Changes Against Fed
eral Judges Mcpherson and
Phillips in Missouri.
CRACK AT PHILLIPS
Congressman Rucker Declares That
Jurist Should Have Been Inn
peached Twenty Years AgO.-Judge
Mcpherson Declares He will not
Run Away ON Account of Criticism.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-At the con-
clusion of a lengthy statement in the
house today regarding his resolution
of inquiry into the official conduct of
Federal Judges Mcpherson and Phil
lips, Representative Murphy of Mis-
souri,, announced that he would pre-
sent formal charges Of impeachment.
Mr.. Murphy brought the matter up
as question of personal privilege.
He had read some newspaper dis
patches to the effect that Frank Ha-
german, attorney for Is of the rail-
roads, had telegraphed United States
Attorney General Wickersham alleg-
ing that the charges in the Murphy
resolution were an outrageous tissue
of misrepresentation by one who has
no knowledge of the facts"
Mr.. Clayton of Alabama, member
of the judiciary committee objected,
saying the argument was not one of
personal privilege. Mr.. Cannon ruled
that Mr.. Murphy was within his rights
and could continue, but he had not
proceeded far when Mr.. Henry of
Texas, another member of the judi
ciary committee, stopped him with an
inquiry as to whether he did not in
tend formally to bring in charges OF
impeachment. The Missouri repre-
sentative, however, did not give di-
rect answer, but continued his reci-
tai of the charges contained in his
resolution. He called Mr.. Rucker,
his colleague, to substantiate what he
was saying. Mr.. Rucker did so and
declared that Judge Phillips should
have been impeached 20 years ago.
Mr.. Murphy denied that the state
of Missouri had not been accorded ev-
cry courtesy in the rate cases as was
stated in Mr.. Hagerman's telegram.
The state, he declared, had no knowl-
edge or notice whatever of the first
Injunction in those cases.
Immediately after adjournment, Mr..
Murphy told the members of the ju-
dietary committee that he would at
once prefer formal charges of inn
parchment against the two judges.

AIRSHIPS A NUISANCE.
Los Angeles Lawns Ruined by Sand
From Balloons.

From Balloons.
LOS ANGELES, May 6.-The ex.
tent to which navigation of the air
by means of airships and balloons is
being undertaken in Los Angeles at
the present time is illustrated by
complaint made to Chief of Police
Dishman by w. D. Campbell, owner
of flats on Grand avenue near Twelfth
street, in the near vicinity of which
the Aero club is holding its annual
show.
Campbell declares that his lawns
and even the paint on his flats, are
all being ruined by sand being thrown
overheard by the aeronauts during
their flights.
The city attorney is positive that
the offenders may be prosecuted under
the ordinance prohibiting the deposit
of rubbish in any other place than
the garbage cans or receptacles pro-
vided by the city for the same.

DefenSe Attempts to Show AntagOnism
In Army Circles Toward Cap
tain Hams and Men,
bers of Family.
ACTED NATIONALLY
Officers Declare That Defendant Was
in Normal Condition Preceding
Tragedy, But Are Forced to Admit
That He Acted In Violent and Excit-
ed Manner-Insanity lis Durable.

FLUSHING, N. Y, May 6.-The de-
fense had rested it's case and the
prosecution was vel: along in exam
lining witnesses in rebuttal when
court adjourned today in the trial Of
Capt. Peter G. Hams, Jr., for the kill
ing of William E. Annis.
The witnesses for the state were
principally army officers who had
been stationed at Fort Hamilton and
Fort Hancock during June, July and
August, 1908, and had met Captain
Hains at that time.
Their testimony tended to contro-
vert that of the army witnesses for
the defense in that they all said Capt.
Hams spoke and acted nationally a
short time before the shooting, when
the defense contends he was suffering
from "maniacal Oppressive insanity"
They admitted, however, under
cross-examination, that Captain Hams
had acted in a violent and excited
manner and looked pale and worried.
John Mcintyre, chief counsel for
the defense, created stir in court
by questioning the army officers as to
what military authorization they had
for appearing as witnesses against
Captain Hains. He brought out that
Capt. Henry w. Torney of Fort Han
cock, had an order signed by Colonel
Heistand, adjutant general of the de-
partment of the east, directing him to
appear at the trial.
Mr.. Mcintyre endeavored to show
that other officers had received the
same orders from Colonel Heistand,
and asked Captain Torney if he did
not know that ill-feeling existed be-
tween the colonel and the Hams
family. Captain Torney was not per-
mitted to answer, but it was evident
that the defendants counsel wished
to show that there was antagonism
towards Captain Hams in army cir
cles.
Doctors L. L. Samuel Manson, Ar
thur c. Brush and L. Pierce Clarke,
the trio of alienists for the defense,
declared Captain Hams form of in
sanity was durable and that his con-
dition had improved since November.
