toward the visitors, but the handling
of the Helena men by the rowdy ele
ment was far different. The Helena
boys found that a Billings tough,
though he may be few in number,
makes up in quality for anything he
may lack in numbers. Some of the
imlported players of the Billings team,
notably such an eminent lunch-counter
sport as "Hunky" Hines, were exceed
ingly abusive, Hines and Flannery
and one or two others are reported to
have vied with each other in un:
sportsmanlike actions.
"The Billings people had done much
to establish a good team," said W. E.
Phillips, who was with the team, last
evening, and they had subscribed more
liberally for the support of their club
than Helena, although Billings is a
smaller town. They were naturally
proud of the teamn they had, and were
confident that they wore going to win
tlih gamne,
"The nerchants of the city troeated
the boys royally, There were a lot of
toughs, however, whoml their towns
people are sincerely ashamed of, who
mlade It as hot for the Helena players
Oa they could.
"One thing to be learned from the
recent victories of the Helena ream,"
said an enthusiast yesterday, "is that
Helena has a first class ball team and
ought to appreciate the fact and help to
hold it together. If this city did as
well by its nine as Billings has done
we would never be in danger of losing
a player, The merchants and saloon
men and everybody help over there to
maintain an organization to be proud
of. They chip in liberally all round.
Here, aside of the donation of the
street ear company, no one has done a
great deal for baseball in the capital.

Colonel iL, Whitney, postmaster at
Carboundo, is in tile city today. He
says that the coal mines at that place
did not start up Tuesday, as was an
nounced, the men refusing to go to
work at the reduced scale, which has
been noted before in The Gazette.
They claimed that they could not make
a living at the scale offered and as a
consequence most of the miners have
left the camp for other places. Accord
ing to Colonel Whitney, there is little
probability of an early resumption of
work at the mines. The company has
started a diamond drill in the mine, in
the hope of striking another vein of
coal beneath the one on which they
have been working. The pumps are
still at work keeping the mines free
from water.,
J. J, Holland and sister, Mrs. John
Holland, came down from Qebo last
night, leaving this morning for a visit
to their old home in Nebraska. Mr.
Holland said that a night shift had
been put to work in the Clarke's Fork
Coal company's mine and from eight to
ten carloads of coal were being taken
out each day. gebo is picking up and
is destined to be one of the important
coal camps of Carbon county.
Frank McCullough, one of the elec
trical engineers at Bridger, was here
last night on his way to Minneapolis
for a visit. Forty men are working in
the mines, getting out and shipping 150
tons of coal a day, and the company
finds no difficulty in disposing of all
its product.

J. A. Babcock of Minneapolis, ac
companied by his son, George L., was
in the city yesterday shaking hands
with old friends, The elder Mr. Bab
cook will be remembered by the older
inhabitants as a resident of Billings in
1tl* and 18~I, when he represented
Benton, Wells & Co., real estate deal
ers. It had been over fifteen years
since he was,in Billings and he noticed
uiany changes, and could not help but
lmarvel at the rapid growth of and the
city-like airs which the town enjoys.
When Mr. Babcook resided here there
was not a tree in the city. He started
to build the house now owned and oc
cupied by Hou. A. L. Babcock, but left
before it was completed, Mr. Babcock
is a traveling repreOsetatiye of Winston,
F1rrinuton & Co., wholesale grocers,
and is now enjoying a forty days va
cation. In company with his son he
left for Ried Lodge this morning and
will make an overland journey to the
Vellowstone park from that place.

A PARDON ASKED
For Little Whirlwind, the Indian, Sent
Up from Custer County.
The governor has been asked to par
don Little Whirlwind, the Cheyenne
Indian now serving a life sentence for
being implicated in the murder of John
Hoover of Custer county. Little Whirl
wind is a brother of Spotted Hawk,
who was convicted of murder in the
first degree and sentenced to hang.
The supreme court recently granted a
new trial to Spotted Hawk on the
ground of errors. He was not tried
again, County Attorney Porter of Cus
ter county declining to put the county
to any more expense.
Little Whirlwind's counsel, Sanders
& Sanders, who have petitioned the
governor for the Indian's pardon, rep
resent that the evidence upon whic
Little Whirlwind was convicted--was
the same as that used against Spotted
Hawk, and that it consisted chiefly of
the testimony of an alleged accomplice
by the name of David Stanley. Little
Whirlwind also claims that the record
of his trial in the lower court was not
presented to the supreme court in a
manner that permitted of all of the al
leged errors to be made plain. The
governor has also received the trans
cript of the evidence, which he will
read before reaching any decision.
TIES TWO KNOTS.
Justice Fraser Becoming Quite an Ex
pert in the Matrimonial Line.
The past few days have been replete
with matrimonial bliss; the clerk of
the court smiled as he granted the
licenses to wed and the officiating jus
tice or clergyman smole a smile as he
gathered in the shekels. Three Ii
ctenses were granted this week and as
many weddings occurred, a justice of
the peace officiating in each instance,
Justice Fraser has opened matrimonial
headquarters at his residence and has
already become quite an expert in tying
the knots. His neighbors are invited
in to participate and offer congratula

Adolph W. Hollenbeck and Olive
Fletcher came up from Lee, Custer
county, Wednesday morning and were
married that afternoon. They wanted
the matter kept quiet so that they could
surprise their friends at Lee, but news
is news. The happy couple left yester
day morning for a few days' sojourn at
Livingston and other points, after
which they will return to Lee, near
where Mr. Hollenbeck has a ranch.
James H. Lateer and Monzelle

but Mrs. Sarles had and she apparently
enjoyed such life.
A MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE
Sent fro,, Manil a( ecorded int Coun
ty '%' Office.
County Clerk and Recorder Nat. G.
Carwile received a letter yesterday
from Rev. Geo. C. Stull of this city,
who is chaplain of the Montana regi
ment in the Philippines, in which the
latter requested that the marriage cer
tificate, a copy of which is given below,
be recorded in his office:
"This certifies that on the second day
of January, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and' ninety
nine, Dickinson M. Carmen and Ida M.
Clayton were by me united in marriage
at Manila, Philippine islands, acording
to the ordinances of God and the laws
of the United States of America.
"George 0. Stull,
"Chaplain First Montana Infantry, U.
S. Vols., Officiating.
"Witnesses: Florence H. Russell,
Frank L. McNally."
Rev. Stull stated in his letter that
there was no place in the Philippines
for recording such instruments and be
knew of no better way than to send it
to Mr. Carwile, whom he knew would
give the matter prompt attention.
Clerk Carwile recorded the certificate
and returned the same yesterday to
Rev. Stull at Manila, but it will not
reach him, since the Montana troops
are to start home next Tuesday.
Her PoNitlon an her in the BIllings
Pualeo Schools.
/Miss Bertha M. Phillips, who taught
-f the public schools of Billings last
year, and was re-elected for another
year in June, has written a letter.
of resignation, which is now in the
hands of I. L. Whitney, clerk, await
ing a meeting of the school board,
when action will be taken. Miss
Phillips, in her letter, gives as her
reason for resigning that the work
which she entered upon for her sum
mer vacation, that of representing an
eastern book concern, presents a more
promising future. Her address now
is Salt Lake City, which will be her
headquarters.
The regular monthly meeting of the
board was to have been held Wednes
day night, but was postponed on ac
count of the absence from the city of
the chairman and one or two mem
bers. The meeting will probably not
be held before next week some time
and there remains no doubt but that
the board will accept Miss Phillips'
resignation.
It is said that the Utah & Wyoming
railroad will sell its franchise and
graded work to the Chicago, Burling
ton & Quincy. It is a new road and
as satisfactory proposals have been re
ceived from the Burlington for its pur
chase, it is generally considered that
the absorption is but a matter of a few
weeks.
