Cubs Easily Beat Out Miles

The Cubs neatly turned the tables
on the Miles City team last Sunday,
easily taking the game by score of
9 to 2, and atoning for their recent
defeat in close game at Milestown.
Sundays contest was a splendid one
in every way and both teams played
snappy ball. Monihan, the ex-league
umpire, gave universal satisfaction
by his good work and fair decisions.
As the situation stands now, the
Cubs have bested all the teams played
with, and will now attempt to secure
games with as many other teams as
possible.

Aug. 81, 1887, proclaimed crown prince
Nov. 3, 1888. and decorated with the

He was promoted to be lieutenant

The ceremony at the sanctuary will

A more impressive scene occurred in
the throne room of the palace when

the sacred treasures. His majesty en-
tered the hall, preceded by the min
lister Of the household, the chief of
the board Of ceremonies, the lord

and the imperial prince. He was fol-

The scene lacked brillisncy, al
though not solemnity, for the majority
OF those present were without uni
forms. They had remained in the pal
ace for two days and were not given
time to repair to their homes prior TO
the ceremony.
The date for the funeral has not
been fixed. Probably it will take
place within month at Kyoto, where
the emperor expressed q desire to be
buried on the site of Maruyama pal
ace. built by Hideyeshi in the six
teenth century.
The old form Of funeral ceremony
doubtless will be modified consider

old usages to modern conditions, but
many unique customs will be retained.

constitution promulgated by his father

0ISOD'S Dismissal Results IN
RedrreSt Of Libel
Defendants
Lawyers Had Not Taken Their
Seats When Justice Gave
Decision
Next Trial May Be Started
Some Day Early IN Com.
ing Week

Within five seconds after Attorney
Bangs had completed his arguments
in the Opdyke libel case this morn
ing Judge Olson had discharged the
defendant and refused to state his
reasons for so doing. In his closing
arguments Attorney Bangs who was
citing for the county stated that
there were two phases of the case up
on which the defendant did not intro
duce any testimony and claimed that
they should be bound over on those
two points if not others. The deci-
sion of the court coming SO quickly
upon the heels ofth e closing argu-
ments appeared to strike humorous
vein in most of those present, they
being of the opinion that Mr.. Bangs
should have been given time to at
least take his seat before the opinion
was rendered.
Following the decision of Judge o.
son this morning, information was
filed in Justice pierces court against
l.. E. Opdyke and r. e. Packard, by
E. G. Patterson charging them with
criminal libel. The defendants were
arraigned at 2 o'c,,ck this afternoon
and took a change of venue, the case
being sent to Judge Casselman's
court.
Judge Casselman has not set the
time yet for trial but in all prob.
ability it will be held Tuesday morn
ing providing neither the defendants
or plaintiff object. The case against
F. E.. Packard for criminal libel
which was scheduled to be held be-
fore Judge Olson, Monday morning,
was dismissed by the plaintiff.
