FIRST To RECEIVE ATTENTION
OF new President de LA
BARRA'S CABINET.
Diplomats Estimate Cost at 10000, 900
Gold-Americans Suffered Half the
Loss-Claims Arranged For-China' s
Big Claim-Governmen Has $62,4s3,-
118 on Hand.

Mexico City.-Measures for the ulti-
mate disbanding of the insurrecto
army and for payment of the costs of
the war were the matters to which the
new executive devoted his attention
Saturday. President de la Barra pro-
poses to- dissolve the revolutionary
force, using a portion of them to aug
ment the army of General Diaz. The
remainder will be given assistance to
get employment or to return to their
homes, and all will be paid off as though
having been mustered out of the regu-
lar army.
President de la Barra is considering
measure for immediate protection for
all claims made and proved against the
government. 1t is proposed that a COM
mittee of five be named to pass upon
all claims as soon as they are presented
by those properly qualified. A clause
will authorize the immediate payment
of such claims as are approved.
Put Cost at $2O,O00,ooo.
Diplomats estimate the war has
cost not less than $2O,oOO,Ooo gold, and
that perhaps one-tenth of this is due
to damages sustained by foreigners.
Half of this amount is said, on high
authority, to be loss suffered by Ameri-
cans.
In the legations foreigners have al
ready begun arranging claims, although
the greater part remains to be filed.
The claims of China will be remarkable
for the number of individuals demand
ing indemnity. Almost all of these
will come from Sonora and Coahuila,
where the Chinese were victims of mobs
Reports from Torreon received by the
Chinese legation say the number of
dead in the massacre there May 16 was
23s.
Most of the victims were compare
lively poor, and those surviving have
found difficulty in supplying themselves
with food. The Chinese in the capital
have opened a subscription fund to aid
their countrymen. The claims of
Japan will be based on the death of
seven japanese in Torreon.

The portfolio of the department of
finance was delivered to Ernest Ma
dero of Monterey, whose nephew is
Francisco l. Madero. He Immediately

2,63s,O 95; on hand in banks and
banking houses, $27,146,s96. Total,
500, 4s3,11s.
Just prior to the administration of
the oath to Mr.. Madero the diplomatic
corps officially paid its respects to the
new president. Henry Lane Wilson,
American ambassador, as dean of the
corps, delivered the address, which was
responded to by President de la Barra.

Saturday Night and is Drowned--Had
Much Money in Clothes.

The body of dead man was
found in the river near the Newton
ranch several miles east of Round
up Sunday morning about seven
O'Clock by Sidney Clarke and Ralph
Evans who were rowing down the
river in boat hunting ducks. The
authorities were notified and Coron-
er Brissenden and Sheriff Fisco
brought the body to town where it
was placed in Marshall's undertak-
ing parlors.
a number of letters were found
in the dead mans clothes from
which it was learned that his name
was Nick Hogan. In his pockets
also were found number of 10"
pay checks, two certificates of de-
post on Il Harlowton bank, $3.50
in currency and a purse containing
a small amount Of change, the
whole totaling to about $11OO. The
fact that he was not robbed and
that there were no marks of vio-
lence on his body places the death
in the accidental class. which was
the opinion of the coroner's jury
which was impanelcd Monday af-
ternoon.
Hogan came to Roundup last
week from Lavina near which place
be had been herding sheep for the
~" ranch He consulted DIR.

derbrush and leading right into the
river where the body was found.
At tins point there was only about
II inches of water. 1t is evident
that the man was either mentally
deranged or became bewildered in
the dark and wandered into the
river before realizing where he was.
When found the body had not been
in the water more than about seven
hours as some Of the papers were
not yet soaked.
Thru Fred Carlson, foreman Of
the -" ranch, it was learned that
the dead man had two brothers in
Billings who were communicated
with. The body was taken to Bill
lings Tuesday foi burial.

Ten County Roads Established Thus Far--Com-
missioners Decide to Issue Refunding
Bonds to Pay Warrants.

Inc DOaru OI county COlllullsSlOn-
ers which was in session here last
week adjourned Saturday after es-
tablishing number of new county
roads, passing on large number
OF bills and transacting other busi-
ness. The matter Of county roads
has been occupying the attention
of the board ever since their first
meeting. and has required large
amount of labor and consideration.
Thus far ten county roads have been
established, being as follows:
One from the bridge across Will
low Creek east of Roundup to the
Big Wall.
Also one from the same point due
north to the county line.
One from the northwest corner of
the townsite of Roundup due north
for six miles.
One from Franklin on the b. Il
n. Ry. due south by way Of Rye
gate to Big Coulee creek.
One from Baker due north six
miles.
One from Mine No. 3 west along
the right-of-way to Elso.
One from Roundup straight west
to Horsethief and up that stream
for nineteen miles.
One from Roundup by way Of
Newton S ranch residence to Davis,
Mine No. 4.
One from the Melstone bridge
site two miles south.
One from the ranch Of w. M.
Jensen north one and one-half mile
and thence west for three miles.
County Surveyor Parkinson has
already staked out the grading for
some Of these roads, while the work
Of stalking out the others is under
way.
The commissioners have also de-
cided to issue refunding bonds to
take up all outstanding warrants,
although nothing definite was done
in this connection. The amount
of bonds to be issued will be ap-
proximately $4,000 which will
liquidate all indebtedness at this
time. The bonds will bear
six per cent interest and will run
twenty years. 1t is expected that
they will be sold at a premium so
the interest will be less than six
per cent. This matter will no
doubt be completed at the next
meeting Of the board which will be
on September 22nd.
Several new road supervisors
were appointed by the commission
ers. There are seventeen road dis
tricts in the county, but up to this
time only thirteen supervisors have
been named being as follows:

4 THRILLING RIDE.
FhS Piano SUn Frenchman Gave
 Locomotive Engineer.

Tho Piano 5un Frenchman Gave
 Locomotive Engineer.
 T was loitering around the streets last night" said Jim Nelson, one of the old locomotive engineers running into New Orleans. As i had nothing to do I dropped into a concert and heard a sleek looking Frenchman play piano in a way that made me feel all over in spots. AS soon as he sat down on the stool l knew by the way he handled himself that he understood the machine he was running He tapped the keys away up one end, just as if they were gauges and he wanted to see If he had water enough. Then he looked up as if he wanted to know how much steam he was carrying, and the next moment he pulled open the throttle and sailed on to the main line as If he was half an hour late. You could hear her thunder over culverts and bridges and getting faster and faster. until the fellow rocked about in his seat like q cradle. Somehow l thought ii was old 36 pulling a pas senger train and getting out of the way of q special. The fellow worked the keys on the middle division like lightning, and then he flew along the north end of the line until the drivers went around like buzz saw and got excited. About the time was fixing to tell him to cut her off a little he kicked the dampers under the machine wide open. pulled the throttle away back in the tender, and how he did run! l couldn't stand 1t any longer, and yelled to him that he was pound ing in the left side, and If he wasn't careful he'd drop his ash pan. But he didn't hear. No one heard me Everything was flying and whizzing Telegraph poles on the side of the track looked like a row of cornstalks, and trees appeared to be a mudbauk. and all the time the exhaust of the old machine sounded like the hum of q bumblebee. I tried to yell out, but ny tongue wouldn't move. !;e ven: around the curves like bullet, slipped an eccentric, blew out his soft plug went down grades fifty feet to tilt mile and not a controlling brake sel Sac went by the meeting point at l: mile and half :. minute, and c.piiiiil& for more steam. My hair stood uu straight. because knew the game H';;s oiJ. sure enough Gcad ahead Of ,:e 5sas the he2Gight of q special. In q f,:.@r ! hoard the crash as they struck and saw cars shivered into atoms people snasied and mangled and bleeding and gasping for water. heard anU{ her crash as tAy French professor struck the deep keys away down ou th.: lower end of the southern division. and then I came to my senses There he was at dead standstill with the door of the firebox of tnc machine open. wiping the perspiratior off his face and lowing to the people before him. If I live to 1s a thousaHt years old I'll never forge; the ride that Frenohman gave me OH "a piano. Life.

$50 Recipe Cure
 Weak Men--- Free
Send Name and Address T0day-You Gan Have II Free aud Be Strong
 and Vigorous.

1 have i'll my possession a prascrip- tion for nervous debility, lack of wig or. weakened manhood, failing mem- ory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes-without any addi- tional help or medicine-that think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility quickly and quietly should have copy So have determined to send copy of the prescription free of charge in plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it.
 This prescription comes from a phy- silian who has made special study of men and I am convinced that it is the surest acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together.
 I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them copy in confidence so and discouraged with repeated fal- ures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest acting restorative upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCH- ING remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quiet and quickly. Just drop me line like this: Dr. A. E. Robinson, 1926 Luck building, Detroits Mich, and I will send you copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3 to $5 for merely writing out a
 prescription like this-but I send it entirely free.
