mgat O'Clock. in which Bilbo was the
victim of an assault by Henry. The
senator lies today in the Jackson sani-

The trouble started away back in

Havana, July ATTACKS recently
made against President Gomez by 6
newspaper which has shown much
opposition to the administration, are
apparently beginning to assume i'm
portance. Congressman Andres, di;
rector of the newspaper Dia, charged
the president with the accumulation
of a huge fortune during the two
years of his administration. The|
president has issued a statement giv-I
ing an inventory of his estate, which
shows 1t to be of only moderate di-
mensions, acquired prior to his as
suming office.
This action is deplored by the
friends as weak and undignified, and
denounced by his enemies as an at
tempt to cover culpabilitY, The re-
suit of the controversy is shown in a
host of disquieting rumors.
The executive committee of the
Conservatives discussed the matter
last night secretly and declared that
it did not present legal grounds for
action against the president II is
now rumored that evidence has been
discovered of projected uprisings In
the provinces of Oriente and Pinar del
Rio. The president is represented as
much perturbed. He is said to have
declared that at the first sign of dis
order he would take the field at the
head of the rural guard and crush the
revolutionary movement.
1t is learned on good authority that
there exists much uneasiness among
the rurales, of whom nearly half are
held in Havana as part of the perma
nent garrison, on account of the posi-
bility of their being suddenly called
into active service.
Reports from the various provinces
do not show definite Indications of ar
immediate uprising. but the rumort
continue persistent, resulting in q
strong undercurrent of anxiety.

About Forty Present

The members of the Pioneer Club
entertained at a smoker las night, the
affair being partly to celebrate Colum-
bus Lay and also to create more inter
est in the club as the cold weather
draws near. About forty members
and friends were present and the
evening was made a very delightful
one. An orchestra consisting of C. H.
Tyler, DIR. Johnson, Chic Knapp and
Miss Lulu Lucas provided music,
and Lipman and Kelly, who are ap-
pearing at the Star, did few vaude-
vile stunts. Our own ruby" also
sang few songs. The program
was supplemented by several songs
and dances by "Sawdust," who as
result added considerable to his repu.
tation as an entertainer. The smoker
did not break up until a late hour.

Rancher Disappears
Harry Wills, Well Known Rancher Near Gage,
Has Been Missing for Over Three
Weeks--Search Without Success.

Harry Wills, prominent and well
known rancher from near Gage, has
myselioLsly disappeared nothing
having been seen or heard of him by
his former associates for about three
weeks. Wills left his ranch about
four weeks ago leaving no word as to
where he was going. He was seen
shortly after at Camp Four and later
in Roundup. Several parties also
claim to have seen him walking down
the track near the Newton ranch
about three weeks ago. Since then
all trace of him has been lost, and it
is feared that he has met with foul
play or been killed accidentally. A
searching party was formed at Gage
last Saturday, but search of the
river banks between there and No. 4
failed to disclose anything that may
solve the mystery.
The lost man is about "A years of
age, having come to Gage from Fort
Collins, Colo, about seven years ago.
He filed on homestead one-half mile
southwest of Gage and has made his
home there ever since, although at
times he has been working on differ
ent ranches along the Musselshell and
in the Snowy mountain district. He
is short man, being Eve feet and
four inches tall, has uark hair and
mustache. He was we'll and favor
aoly known, and not known to have
any enemies that would seek to do
him harm. Wills is unmarried and
has number of brothers and sis
ters in Fort Collins, Colo.
1t is said that Wills had been
drinking quite heavily about the time
he disappeared, and when last seen
on the railroad track he was intoxi.

Want Train Service
Citizens Of Klein Petition C., M. P. S. Ry. for
Passenger Service Between Roundup
and Coal Camp.

With the view of connecting
Roundup more closely with the citi-
zens Of Klein and vice versa
strenuous attempt is now being made
to have passenger service inaugural
ed between the two places. A petit
ton is being circulated among the
citizens Of the coal camp on Half
Breed Creek praying the Chicago,
Milwaukee & Puget Sound Ry. to run
passenger coach on the work train
between Roundup and Klein. This
train goes to Klein every morning
and afternoon returning to Roundup
a few hours after arriving there. BY
putting coach on this train excellent
transportation facilities would be pro.
vided for the people Of both Roundup
and Klein, allowing them several
hours to spend in either place between
trains. This would prove a great
benefit to the business men of Round
up as well as the citizens of Klein,
and it is earnestly hoped he railway
company will grant the petition.
The petition is being signed by
practically every citizen of the camp.
After all the signatures are secured
the petition will be forwarded O the
the petition will be forwarded to the
Montana State Railroad Com
mission and then to the
proper railroad officials. 1t might be
we'll for the people of Roundup take
a more active hand in the endeavor
to secure the new train service.
There is no reason why a we'll direct
ed campaign would not bring the de-
sired result.

Council Has Short Session
City Dads Meet Put Thru New Improvement District No. sChange
Made in Boundaries and Resolution Readvertised

Although Mayor F. NJ. Wall and
CITY Clerk W. J. jameson had been
called to Billings as witnesses in a
case in district court the city dads
nevertheless had short session to
put through the new improvement
district which is to provide the west
ern part of the city with cement side
walks. Alderman H. o. Britton, in
his capacity as president of the coun.
Gil, acted in place OF the mayor. while
former Alderman A. W. Eiselein was
appointed temporary clerk.
The meeting was called expressly
for the purpose of hearing objections
to the creating of the new district,
of which, however, there were none.
1t having developed that the boundar-
les of the district had not been abso-
lutely correct in the previous reso-
luton, and by reason of the fact that
several others wanted to be included,
it was decided to amend the resolu-
ton and readvertise it. Objections
will again be heard on the twentieth
and bids will be opened at the same
time to expedite matters.
No other business was transacted,
the council recessing until Monday.
