From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
A joint meeting of the members of
the Yellowstone Trades and Labor
assembly will be held at o'clock to-
morrow evening in the labor hall in
the Odd Fellows building. to which
an invitation to the public is extended.
Local merchants and shippers and all
interested in and affected by the
strike will be welcomed to the meet
ing, at which time the strikers side
of the affair will be placed before
the public. The meeting is not to be
confused with the big public gather
ing which the switchmen are planning
on and which will probably be held
in the Babcock theater the first of
next week.
The local switchmen continue to
receive kilograms and letters from
the strike headquarters in st. Paul,
which declare that the switchmen
have the upper hand and that the
head office is hopeful of eventual sue
cess In refutation of these state
ments the railroad officials point to
the moving freight trains and the fact
that all kinds of shipments are being
received and forwarded.

so by personally presenting their
views to Governor Norris.

Members Of Producers Association
Receive Latest Quotations On
Current Supplies.
GOOD POTATO DEMAND
Bulletin VIII Weekly Keep Farmers
Informed Of Prices Being Paid for
Products of This Section of the
State.
From Thursdays Daily.


One thousand copies of the Weekly
Bulletin" the official publication Of
the Yellowstone Valley Producers as
sociation, were distributed yesterday
through the local postoffice and the
first work of the newly organized as
sociation in its movement for provid-
ing the producers of this section of
the state with good market for their
potatoes, onions and fruit is accom-
plished. The bulletin, according to A.
F. Marsh, who is in charge of the
work of the association, will be pub
lished about the middle of the week
and its quotations will be thoroughly
reliable and compiled from figures
which show what Is actually being
paid for produce.
The bulletin for this week contains
the constitution and bylaws of the
organization as we'll as the quota
tions on potatoes, onions and apples.
But this list is by no means complete
and in the future the bulletin will
publish the authentic prices on but
ter, eggs, poultry, hay and feed, grains
and all seasonable vegetables. The
publication of these quotations, it is
claimed, will be of great value to the
farmers, who can then market their
produce to better advantage. In
addition, the bulletin will contain a
weekly forecast based on a careful
study of marketing conditions.
The membership of the association
is growing rapidly and it is expected
that it will soon include all farmers
living in the Yellowstone valley for a
distance of 80 miles either way from
Billings. In the spring an office will
be opened in Kansas City, which will
attend to the sale of the produce from
this valley, and which viii endeavor
to market the produce at fancy prices.
Already the officials of the Burling-
ton stationed in st. Louis have placed
orders for enough potatoes to supply
their private demand for the coming
winter, and it is the aim of the asso-
citation to make the Yellowstone po-
tato the standard of quality in all the
leading hotels and railway dining cars
of the country.

EDUCATED CREE IS
STRUCK BY ENGINE
Thaddeus Redwater, Full of Firewater,
Has Narrow Escape From
Death ut Depot.
From Thursdays Daily.

EIOA A4uA 0NeSS ? O"AAJ'
What came near being a very
serious accident occurred at the depot
last evening, when No. pulled into
the station. The trouble arose when
Thaddeus Redwater, an educated Cree
Indian and a man of gigantic stature,
took a notion that he wished to oc-
cupy the main line which the engine
of No. was already pulling in upon,
and consequently willfully and mall
ciously got in the road of the engine.
But for the fact that the train was
slowing down Thaddeus would prob
ably now be in the undertaking es-
tablishment instead of the city Jail;
as it was, the shock of the meeting
hurled the Cree to one side, badly
bruising his thigh and arm, but not
breaking any bones.
Officer Schneider, who was at the
depot at the time, at once took the
Cree in charge and discovered that.
although the man walked perfectly
straight and talked in very good
English, he was reeling drunk and
knew practically nothing Of what he
was doing. On the way to the station
the Cree, with the Indians stoicism.
scoffed at his injuries and jokingly
requested the officer to see to it that
he did not have to remain in jail
for three years, three-year sentence
seeming to be the principal thought in
the red mans mind.
Redwater's injuries were examined
and found to not be serious. A few
bandages were applied and he was
given comfortable cell in which to
spend the night. He came to Bill
ings yesterday from Helena intending
to meet other Crees here.

GOOD DISPLAY
OF VEGETABLES

Number Of Different Vegetables Dis.

tage Productivity of Soil of Yellow.
stane Valley.

1--WE have them all beaten for va
rieties," declared ]. M. Walker a few
days ago as he was putting the fin
ishing touches on the new vegetable
display at the Chamber of Commerce
building. Il haven't made an exact
count of the number of different veg
etables we have here, but it is safe
to say that there are over 60 different
kinds of garden products assembled
in that window and on this stand.
Vegetables may play a humble row
beside the apples and dry land wheat,
but they are important, all the same,
and to demonstrate to the visitors that
we can raise everything in eastern
Montana it is well to not forget the
products of the gardens as well as of
the fields and orchards"
Mr.. Walker has recently contrib
uted to the Chamber of Commerce
a well-selected and displayed assort-
ment of garden vegetables, all of
which have been raised on his farm.
10 miles west of this city, and Secre-
tary Brayton of the commercial asso-
citation says that it beats anything
he has ever seen at Montana state
fair or at any other exhibition of ag-
ricultural products. The vegetables,
of which there are over so varieties,
are tastefully arrayed in the north
window and on stand in the north
end of the Chamber of Commerce ex-
hibit hall, and have attracted much
attention from the visitors at the
Chamber of Commerce headquarters
this week Pumpkins and squashes
of various varieties seem to predomi-
nate, but there is good supply OF
other classes of garden vegetables
which keep WE'LL and the display
promises to be one of the interesting
features of the exhibit this winter.
The entire exhibition, with the ex-
ception of the wall decorations in
grain, has within the past week been
renovated. The old apples assembled
at the time of the Dry Farming con-
gress have given way to other varie-
ties, which have been kept in cold
storage, and the interior of the room
presents a very attractive and inter
esting scene. The Chamber of Com
merce has this winter large guam
tity of apples in cold storage, and
these will be drawn from time to
time, in order that the display may
always appear fresh and inviting.
Several large glass jars have also
been ordered, in which will be pre-
served the best of the last seasons
fruit.

score was i to 1 in the eighth inning

and allowed the university two runs
which won the game for them.

YOUNG GRIFFO
A GREAT BOXER

There have been a good many freak
boxers in the history of the roped
arena, but the old-time critics all con-
cede that the palm for queer fighters
must be handed to Young Critic.
Critic was product of the docks at
home and never had the beneft of a
boxing lesson in his life. He could
outhit and outclever any man we had
in America.
Albert Grifiths was his ring name,
and without a doubt he was the clev-
crest boxer thatlever pulled on glove.
The honor was accorded to him by ev-
cry expert in this country.
Critic could not read or write, and
he had absolutely no education what
ever. He could not tell the denomina-
tion of a bill, and many and many a
time some of his managers would
hand him a bunch of 81 bills.
His match with his fellow country
man, Australian Billy Murray, was
one of his best performances in the
ring.
Murphy's clean-cut victory over
Weir and Griffin proved to the sport
ing world that the ex-tailor was there
with the wallop good and plenty. Grif-
fo's victory over Murphy proved that
he was the one man in the country
who had the right to challenge George
Dixon for the worlds championship.
Dixon was in the best condition pos
sible, while the Australian was about
town drinking and carousing tn the
extent that he had his manager in
doubt as to whether he would be on
deck or not.
A search was made for him and he
was found in a west end saloon, loaded
to the guards. He kidded and chaffed
the audience while the gloves were be-
ing adjusted, and paid as little atten-
tion to the battle as if he were going
to have a shave.
Griffo went to the center of the ring
with a smile and shook hands with the
little colored wonder. At the call of
time Griffo went to the center of the
ring ana placed himself in fighting po-
sition. This position was hardly al
tered from the clang of the bell in the
first round to the finish of the twen-
tieth round. He never moved more
than two feet in or out during the
entire contest.
His battle with Dixon was a draw
after twenty of the cleverest rounds
ever witnessed. He matched up with
Dixon Cor two other battles and the
outcome was the same.
Never during his whole career in
America did he train or prepare him
self for contest.
