BAXTER ADMITSHE IS USER OF DRUGS Mi David Baxter, proprietor of a mes songer service and rooming house in Killings, answered to a charge of vagran cy in police court. Baxters condition | was pitiful. He was arrested yesterday! morning because of his peculiar actions i at the Great Northern passenger station, j It is believed that, he took an overdose ; of morphine and on his person was found ( several bottles of cocaine, a bottle of i morphine capsules and phials of other prohibited drugs. Contained in neat leather cases were at least a dozen needles such as used by the drug users, all going to show, in the opinion of Chief Marcus Anderson, that the man is not only a user by a peddler of drugs. He 'denied being a vagrant, but did not hesi täte in admitting that he is a confirmed fiend. Baxter told thi* magistrate that he runs a messenger service and rooiu ing house at Billings and that ho came here last week to recover some jewelry which his wife left here while she was sick several months aso. He said he was at the station to take the morning train home when ho was arrested, lie said he obtained his drugs in Butte and when asked by Deputy Revenue Collector L. II. Mann, who was in court, as to the source of his supply he named one of the best known doctors in Butte. Deputy Mann said he had no confidence in the prisoner's statement. It was decided to koop tho man in jail until his condition will permit him to travel. POLICE ARRESTS One bottle of "booze'' of mysterious origin last night raised thunder with the good record that has been established in Great Falls since the prohibition law be came effective. Its contents made three people- two women and a man—hilar iously drunk and caused thorn to be taken to the police station from a south side shack on combined charges of drunken and disturbing the peace Those arrested were Lizzie Anderson, Mrs. Jessie Burns and I'eter Daly. It is presumed that Peter got tho bottle, went to the shack and shared his good fortune with his lady friends, the thirst that bad accumulated with the trio dur ing the past two weeks refusing to dimin ish until the bottim of the container was ! reached. At any rate, the three in ebriates and the empty bottle and the noise that was being made comprises the evidence that 1 will be introduced ayainst the trio this morning in police court. Margaret Wilson was the fourth arrest made last night. She was charged with vagrancy and released on $25 bail.
