BILLINGS VS. HELENA
p Cowboys All Ready to Make the
Capital City Oraoks Play
Base Ball.
A VERY FAST NINE
Will Tackle Anything in the Wealt
and Hold Its Owl--After the
Peinant.
The Billings ba nine, which
she western Mo papers have named
the Cowboys, is ready for business and
will open a series of three games next
Saturdy with Helena on the oapitl city
grounds.' The Cowboys have been
strengthenedi since the last issue of The
Gazette by the acquisition of Flannery
of Butte, who arrived here Monday
morning. He is a very fast outfielder,
a heavy batter and an all-round, heady
player. Charlie Reilly, the crack third
baseman of Kansas City will join the
team here Thursday night to play
shortstop, it being the intention to re
lease Hansen,the Minneapolis shortstop.
who is <o too fast company to hold up
his end of the game. Scallan, the Min
neapolis first baseman, was released
yesterday and went home this morning.
Rose has been elected captain and
the lineup of the team will be as fol
lows:
Zearfross, catcher.
MoNeeley, pitcher and first base.
Harker, pitcher an base.
Shorer, pitcher.
Rose, secod .oe.
Marshall, rd base.
Reilly, shortstop.
Scott, left field.
Flannery, center field.
Freeman, right field.
The team will leave lot Helena Fri
day night and be accompanied by a
good-sized crowd of rooters-probably
a dozen or more. The Northern Pacific,
it is expected, will make a r of one
fare for the round tripp anager Nix
is still in Sea tie a is writing, at the
bedside of a oi ster, and unless he
returns by F ay morning N. G. Car
wile will likely take charge of the team
on its trip. From Helena thle Billings
boys.expect to go to Pooatello, Ogden
and'Salt Lake and may play a series
with Butte and probably S.kane be
fore their return home, .b.ut the 9th
of September. The se teams will
play return ga Billings and the
people of this oiy will be treated to
some very fast baRsball. The players
of the home beam deblare that they will
take three straight gamtes from Helena,
but the backers of the nine will be sat
isfied if they win two out of the three
in each of the two series to be played.
They are expected to do this, in fact,
and also to get -a majority of the
games with Butte, which would give
Billings the penant as the ohampionu
team of Montana.
Very few of the players of th
picked nine, which was to play the
regulars last Sunday showed up, and a
scrub game was played. The score was
26 to 8 in favor of the regulars. The
team is practicing three hours a day
and will be in good shape for the Hel
ena games.
At Butte last Saturday the Helenas
defeated the reorganized Boston & Mon
tana team by a score of 8 to 5. The
score was 4 to 2 in favor of Butte up to
the eighth inning, when Helena made
six runs. The score shows that she
had her usual luck, twelve hits and two
errors wlnning, against fourteen hits
and three errors for Butte. Ryan
pitched for Helena and King and Mc.
Donough for Butte.
Butte won the Sunday game by a
smcore of 1s to 10, knoaking St. Vrain
out of the box in the sixth and seventh
innings, Byan taking his place. Bel
ena made fifteen hits and seven errors,
against sixteen and five for Butte.
The Billings Juniors played a game
at Oanyon oreek last Sunday, defeating
the farmers by a core of S0 to 19.

AN ADMINISTRATION MAN.
Senlator Carter Returns from Europe .and
Talks a Bit.
New York, Aug. 21.-United States
Senator T. H. Carter of Montana, who
was among several distinguished Amer.
loans who arrived on the fog-belated
American liner New York, said he
never felt before so proud of returning
to his. own country.
"Travelers may talk as they like." be
said ,"of the advantages abroad; as for
me, I come back home fervently Ameri.
can than ever. All you have to do to
become fascilated with' this land is to
go over and take a look at the foreign
t places.
"I am an administration man, and
my relations with ex-SecrPtary Alger
have always been pleasant, but I be
lieve that Mr. Root.is competent and an
able man for the place of secretary of
war.
"I am surprised to hear of the at
tempted essassination of Labori. I
I gathered while I was abroad that there
vwould be some sort of a copipromise
r verdict in the Dreyfus case. I believe
that a failure to acquit may lead to a
revolution in France. "

FRAME BUILDING PSE
During Course lJ runtlion--Was to
lie Occupie by a Saloon.
Sunday evening, between the hours
of 8 and 9 o'olock,while the wind storm
was in progress, the two-story frame
building being erected at the corner of
Minnesota avenue and Thirtieth street
south partially collapsed and had it not
been for the small two-story residence
on the east side, which served as a
prop, the building would today be a to
tal wreck. As it i a the structure was
badly damaged and although it oan be
repaired it will take nearly as long as
though the job was commenced over
again. The timbers were badly twisted
and in the upper story the window
frames, which had been put in, were
also twisted, but nct a pane of glass
was broken.
The building was being 'ereoted for
Thurson& Erilokson, who were to run
a saloon on the lower floor and rent
the upper for a lodging bonse.s, The
work was being done by the day by
Trubbs & Ward, and the Ios will there
fore fall upon the owners.

IT IS NOW I)lEAD BIK
0. M. Batr Loses a Number o1
Valuable Animals from
Dipping.
SOLUTION TOO STRONG
And It Affected Their Lungs and
Stomalch-Nearly Fifty IDead
anid ie
It was first dead horses, but now ii1
is dond bucks, and their deaths wer
caused from altogether different causes.
Sunday morning 0. M. Bair, who bat
re-engaged in the sheep bnsluesw, receiv.
ed 150 bead of fine young Merino ouoke
from Oregon. Phe animals were im.
mediately taken in charge by Benry
Struck, sheep luspiotor and deputy vet.
eriuarian for Yellowstone county. Al.
though the sheep were in a clean con*
dition and,apparently free from all dis.
ease of whatever kind, according to the
state law, they had to be dipped. Thil
Mr. Struck proceeded to do. Yesterday
morning the boouks showed signs of
sickness, some being in horrible agp.y.
During the day five head died and of
the total over 100 were sick. Mr. Bair
did not know what to do for their
relief, but the sheep were taused out
on the grass near the fair grounds
where they were permitted to graze.
Only a few felt like grating, the others
being too sick. At the request of Mr.
Bair, Dr. A. Clark went out where the
backs were and made an examination
of one of the dead animals. He found
the longs badly inflamed, and the lin
ing of the stomhob peeled off when he
scraped it, as though it had been cook.
ed with some acid. Mr. Bait stated
that he thought the dipping solution
had been too strong an4 that the sheep
had sniffed enough in their nostrils to
cause their condition. Dr. Clark said
that the sheep was an animal that
could not withstand very muobch, and
when told that Mr. Struck had used
thirty gallons of carbolic acid to dip the
150 backs, he decided at once that the
solution was altogetler too strong. He
was also of the opinion that the chan.
oes were decidedly againet any of the
sick onep living, although they might
linger on for a week or ten days.
During last night twenty-five lore
of the bucks died and today they are
still dying. This forenoon Drs. Arm.
strong and Townsend were called to see
them. After an examination they ren*
edred the same opinion as Dr. Clark,
that death was caused by carbolic acid,
stating that the dipping solution had
been about I to 97, when it should have
been 1 to 80:
Mr. Bair's loss will be quite heavy,
since the bucks were of a high grade
and imported at a cost of about $15 a
bead.
MEN WA AT GEHO.
Laborers and Minere Can Make $8 and
N4 Per Day.
Reliable news from Gebo is to the
edect that the coal company there
wants men, and. oan use twenty-five
miners and laborers at once, who can
make from $8 to $4- per day. The
irders for coal are getting ahead of
the company, whose main difficulty
now is to secure labor. The people of
Billings are glad to hear of the pros
perity of Gebo and trust the coal com.
pany will no longer be handicapped by
eing.unable to get all the men needed.

KAMLY CLOSING MOVYM IT.
Helena IBuesiesus ouse Working for Its
Fulfillment-Why Not B11llngr.
A movement is on foot in Helena
among tbe business men to close their
stores at 6 o'clook in the evening on all
week days excepting Saturday, when
they will remain open until 10 o'clock,
The stores are to remain.olosed all day
Sunday. The merohants of Miles Oity
have entered upon stob a work and it
is said to'move along nicely.
The Helena Independent in support of
the movement sSay:
The proposed agreement meets a
popular demand that has existed for
some time past. Its advocates argue
that if all agree there will be no loss of
business as a consequence and that the
public will repdily grow accustomed to
the departure and adapt itself with
cheerfulness to the necessity of making
its purohaes durlng business hours.
In many of the large cities of the
country the hours of businIes are
aborter than in Helena and no colm.
plaint. are ever heard. The result is
that not only the merchants themselves
but their armies 'of employes have a
respite from thelr labors a few hours
each day and are able to accomplish
more when they are at work. Some of
the business houses of the city now
voluntarily observe the rule.
The Gasette, during tile past fe*
mouths, has repeatedly spoken of the
importance of snob a movement among
the,bsineuus men of0 Billijgs, bqt moth.

evening if the other firin would con.

this is nor the only firm so inollned,
but as long as one house holds back all
the others will do likewise. A united

it is to be hoped that Billingl will
soon see the fulfillment of the early..
closing movement of its stores.
S1' WANt A DIV)ORCE.
Mary Crelluhsw Wants to ,,iS separated
from Her Husband.

contained the following, which may be
of interest to many of our people, since
the principals are well known here:
Mary Orenshaw, in a, complaint filed
with the leark of the district court yes.

Orenshaw were married on the 6th day
of December, 1894, at the gity of Bill.

year her husband has failed to provide
her with the neoesuaries 'of lif and as
a result she has been' compelled tojive
upon the oharity of friends and reai.
tives siotwithstanding,that her husband
is in receipt of wages uftolient for their
joint support. As a result Of the mar.
riape there is now living one minor
child'8 years of age. She asks that the
bonds of matrimony be dissolved and
that she be awarded the custody of the

The Swiss government is expected to
render its verdict in the Delago. bay
claim during the ogming fall. .This
claim, growing out of the seilure of the
Delagoa bay railroad, owned by an
American citizen, by the Portuguese
government, amounts to several all.
