cious apartment was crowded to its ut
most. To every visitor was given a
carnation as a memento of the occa
alon. The room had been handsomely
decorated in honor of the event and

and animation. From the many excla

for a company recently organized and

Captain E. W. Wynne of Butte is
playing his first visit to Billings. The
captain was in command of one of the
companies of the First Montana dur
ing the regiment's campaigning in
the Philippines and has found several
of l'ate comrades in this part )f
ert G. Shorey has returned, after
absence of three months, spent in
the east. During the 'major part of
the time he was gone he was super
intending 'the -feeding of a lot of
sheep near Chicago, while the ibal
ance was spent visiting old haunts of
boyhood's days in Maine and others

Jesse Toy was arraigned before
Judge Fraser today on the charge or
petty larceny. He entered a plea of
guilty and was sentenced to 90 days
in the county jail. Toy's offense con
sisted of stealing a suit of clothes
belonging to Donald Palen, a' nurse
employed in St. Vincent's hospital.
The prisoner was a patient 'there and
last week, during the temporary ab
sence of Mr. Palen, helped himself
to the latter's wardrobe and decamp
ed. He was arrested at Miles City
last :Saturday.
ccompanied by his 'bride, Guf W.
Stapleton passed through the city
this morning on the way to Butte.
Since his last visit to Billings Mr.
'Stapleton joined the order of bene
dicts, having recently married a
young lady of Arkansas Hot Springs.
He is expected to return within a few
days, when contracts will probably be
left for the erection of the business
Iblock he and his father intend to
build at the corner of North Twenty
eighth street 'and First avenue, exca
vating for which has been completed.
No defense was offered at the ,pre
liminary hearing of Brown Hussey,
who was examined last Saturday af
ternoon 'before Judge Ma~nn on the
charge of grand larceny. John Math
eson lappeared as the complaining wit
rhess and alleged that Hussey robbed
him of 'considerably over $40. The
testimony showed that Hussey, who
only a few days before was released
from the county jail, was without
money the morning of the alleged rob
bery and tried to borrow the price of
his breakfast. Late that night he
seemed to have plenty of it and spent
is freely.
Last Saturday Under S!heriff Stat
fek went 'to Junction in response to
a telegram stating that an insane
man was there who should 'be placed
under restraint. Arriving there he
found Clyde Cotter in the custody of
some men who had captured him.
They ,said the prisoner had been
roaming about the hills for a number
of days, apparently eating nothing
and having no place of shelter. It
was also said that he was believed
to 'be suffering from the effects, of a
protracted drunk. The latter diagno
sis seemingly was correct, for since
ihis confinement in jail Cotter has
acted anything but like one bereft of
his reason.

CASTRO ACAIN
CETTING CAY
ATTITUDE AGAINST FRENCH
CABLE COMPANY MENACING.
FRANCE' IS NOW WAITINC
Impression Growing That Presence
of Warships in Venezuelan Waters
Would Help Matters.
Paris, March 26.-An official dis
patch from Caracas, Venezuela, says
President Castro, who was absent
from the capital during the recent
supposed a'melioration of the situa
tion, has returned and has manifested
strong hostility against American
and French interests. His attitude,
it is added, is particularly menacing
againzt the French Cable company.
It is premature to say what steps
France will take, as the information
has just been received and the offi
cials 'have not had an opportunity to
consider it. However, is it likely that
their action will depend upon Presi
dent Castro putting his menaces into
effect by overt acts against the com
pany or the forfeiture of its conces
sions. No orders for warships to be
held in readiness have yet been issued
or are contemplated for the present,
,but there seems to be a growing im
pression in official quarters that the
presence of a warship in Venezuelan
waters might exercise a salutary in
fluence.
The official dispatch adds that Pres
ident Castro's declination to arbitrate
the American demands was acoompa
nied by .a refusal to hold any con
versation on the subject. The French
Cable company has received advices
practically to the same effect. These
indicate that President Castro's influ
ence will probably cause the court to
render final judgment upon the caible
company's concession early next
week. It is the unofficial opinion
that the attitude of President Castro
against both American and French in
terests makes the moment opportune
for some exch'ange of communications

Bowen Heard From.
Washington, March 26.-In a brief
cablegram received at the state de
partment yesterday from Mr. Bowen,
dated at Caracas, the minister refers
to the action taken in the case of the
French Cable company, not, however,
indicating that it has been postponed,
but rather that it is still pending on
the court's docket ready for consider
ation, and that the matter is in a
chronic rather .than an acute phase.
