LOCAL PHYSICIANS ORGANIZE. ti
Meeting Was Held at Northern Last fl
Night-Banquet Followed. o
The Yellowstone Valley Medical as- a
sociation is the name of the organiza
tion that was brought to life in this
city last night, at a meeting held at
,the Norhern hotel.
Doctor McCormick, the lecturer
from the National association, failed
to arrive, but that fact had no par
ticular bearing on the carrying out of
the original plans of the meeting. It
convened at 8 o'clock and was presid
ed over by Doctor Donald Campbell of
Butte, president of the State assoolia
tion. A significant fact concerning the
personnel of the meeting was that
epvery doctor in the city was present
and took an active part in the work
of organization. After plans had been
discussed and a line of procedure ,had
been agreed upon the association was
organized and the following officers
were elected: President, Doctor H.
E. Armstrong; vice president, Doctor
J. H. Rinehart; secretary, Doctor C.
F. Watkins; treasurer, Doctor Carl
Schulin. The following gentlemen
were elected to compose the first
board of directors for the new associa
tion: Doctors Armstrong, Tuttle,
Chapple, Seaman and Weitman.
Immediately after the close of the
meeting the doctors sat down to an
elaborate banquet that was served in
the main dining room of the Northern.
The menu consisted of six courses,
and comprised everything that even a
doctor might wish for. The service,
also, was as near perfect as it well
could be, and the decorations were or
nate. Large wreaths of sweet peas
and pansies were placed at either end
of the table from which were extended
ropes of ferns and smilax to the chan
delier over the center of the board.
*The ropes were entwined with asters
and sweet peas, and a large center
boquet of asters ornamented the table.
T hose present were Doctors H. E.
i Armstrong, Carl 'Schulin, J. H. Rine
hart, Kelley, Andrew Clark, Portus
t Baxter, T. D. Tuttle, Jiames Chapple,
Stokes, Empey, Wietman, Seaman,
f Lindsey and Watkins of Billings, Sud
duth of Lavina, Campbell of Butte and
Cogswell of Livingston.
WRESTLING MATCH WAS GOOD.
Charles Ross of Butte Defeated by
Tom Davis of England.
From Thursday's Daily.
A large crowd, composed principally
of the best people of the city, witness
ed the wrestling match at the Mon
arch Carnival company's show
grounds last night, between Tom Da
vis, champion of England, and Charles
Ross of Butte.
Ross and Davis wrestle,l at Living
ston two weeks ago and Davis was de
feated. In the last round he was put
down and out for six minutes, it is
mtated. He was not satisfied with the
bout and still believing that he could
throw Davis he followed him here and
made another match. The contest
was one of physical giants and was
devoid of the brutality that character
izes prize fights, altogether.. Mr.
Bell, a stranger n the city, acted as
referee, and the first round lasted 18
minutes. Davis' arnu was hurt in the
bout, but after a struggle that was ex
citing he succeeded in putting the
Butte man's shroulders on the mat.
The second round lasted but four min
utes and Ross was again thrown. Ross
is the much heavier man, but what
Davis lacks in weight he makes up
in skill and muscle.
There are many other attractions
offered by the Monarch company that

a few days ago on the charge of byv
ing dynamited sheep camps on the
Bitter Root stock farm last spring.
Last Tuesday Havre had its regular
weekly fire. The amount of damage
done is estimated at about $5,000. As
evidence of hose cutting was obtained,
it caused the belief that the blaze
was of incendiary origin.
Judge Webster of Missoula has ov
erruled the motion for an arrest of
judgment in the case of F. K. W. Bees
kove and will pronounce sentence up
on the defendant next 'Saturday. A
new trial will be asked and if this is
denied an 'appeal will be taken to the
,supreme court.
Elliston's new Presbyterian church
was dedicated last Sunday. In re
sponse to an appeal by the 'pastor the
congregation in a few minutes had
subscribed the -sum of $147, which re
mained unpaid on the sacred structure.
In addition a small sum was raised as
a special fund for a pulpit.
Charles Robinson, a Great Northern
brakeman, was run over by 'a freight
train at Clancy and instantly killed.
He was switchipg and stumbled. Be
fore he could arise the train was up
on him. Robinson was the support of
a wife and two small children and his
aged mother. The 'body was sent to
Raymond, Neb., for burial. His fel
low trainmen made up a purse to de
fray the cost of the funeral.
James F. Barnes, the Butte murder
er, whose crime led to an attempted
lynching, has been taken from the
Anaconda jail and locked up at Butte,
'where he was arraigned a few days
-ago. He pleaded not guilty and asked
for a change of venue. It has been
practically agreed that his case shal ta
be sent to some other county, as it is na
believed an impartial jury cannot be ne
secured to try him at Butte. gr
Within a few days the big stack of er
the Clark smelter at Butte will 'be th
completed. The chimney will lie 354 m
feet high, from the ground up, and is (c
intended to carry off the sulphur a
fumes and volatilized arsenic and oth- th
er gasses liberated by the process of
smelting. The stack will cost $30,000
and is the tallest in the world built of
concrete. Sixty-five tons of T steel H
and 1,600 barrels of cement were re
quired in its construction.
Ambrose Brusear, a sheepherder, it
committed to the insane asylum from ff
Livingston, escaped from that- ins'titu- w
tion some days ago and reappeared at it
'his former home. He said he was
perfectly sane and had come back to c,
look after some money and other busi- f
ness matters. In spite of the fact
that he really did have several hun
dred dollars on deposit in one of the h
'banks and talked rationally on all sub- s
jects, he was arrested and returned to T
the asylum. a
Doctor D. K. Pearsons of Chicago, 'b
noted for his philanthropy, has given t
$25,000 'to the Montana College and f
School of Manual Arts, located at
Deer Lodge. Negotiations under which 1
the endownment was pending were I
completed a few days ago. The gift r
was tendered conditional upon the
trustees raising a like amount. This q
has 'been practically secured and v
transfer of Doctor Pearsons' money V
has been ordered. This, last contri- i
Ibution makes $365,000 given by the
same gentleman to small colleges this
year.
John Sandvig, a young rancher of
Redstone, is nursing a bullet hole in
his arm and Stub Mann, who put it
there, has one in his side. Mann was
,the aggressor and after having shot
S'andvig jumped behind a board par
tition for protection. Sandvig fired
thrqugh it and hit Mann. The shoot
ing was the result of a robbery. Mann
and another fellow are said to have
broken into Sandvig's house and rob
'bed his trunk. The owner followed
them to the La Porte ranch and de
manded return of his property, when
troubl4 ensued. Public sympathy is
with Sandvig, who, at last accounts,
had not yet been arrested.

MONTANAN'S SAD PLIGHT.
Hastening to Dying Child Strands in C
Strange Town.
St. Cloud, Minn., Sept. 21-Stranded c
in a strange town, lacking $2 of the l
fare to Indiana, where his little child
was dying, yet with plenty of money t
in 'the bank at home, was the sad
plight of a, well-dressed man who ac- f
costed a St. Cloud merchant for in
formation.
The stranger, James Houghton, was
on his way from Mutte, Mont., to his
home at Monticello, Ind., where his
seven-year-old child lay dying or dead.
Tired from a long journey he fell
asleep on the train and was awakened
by the 'brakeman's cry of what he
,thought to be 'St. Paul, but which he
found, upon alighting, to be St. Cloud.
The train had pulled away before
he discovered his mistake, and, though
he 'made a valiant effort to catch the
real platform, he failed.
Stepping to the ticket office, he re
quested a ticket to Chicago, where he
was to meet his 'brother, but found,
when it came to paying for the prec
ious strip, that he lacked $2 of the re
3 quired amount. He telegraphed to
5 Chicago for money, but when the an
swer came the banks were closed and
an order must be identified. In the
deepest anxiety as to the condition of
"t his child, he accosted one of the busi
ness men, telling him of his mistake
at and the loss of time it had already
cost him.
d The cashier of the bank was sent
t for and money was advanced to Mr.
n Houghton, who left on the early morn
o ing train, not knowing but what the
loss of 12 hours here might have pre
d vented him from seeing his child be
fore it died.
DEATH OF TORTURE.
Murderer Strangled by Rope Through
Alleged Carelessness.
s Walla Walla, Wash., Sept. 21.
d Through the alleged gross careless
f ness of some employe of the Washing
ton state penitentiary, Frank Pas
1e quale, hanged last Friday morning,'
died a death of strangulation because
to the rope from which he dangled was
astoo long and was not properly adjust
in ed. When the trap was sprung by
t. Warden Kees, Pasquale's feet struck
r- the ground. The rope was then haul
id ed up a short distance and a knot tied
te in it. Pasquale kicked and gasped for
breath for fully 35 minutes, it is
charged, before death mercifully put
an end to his torture. The Italian
thus paid the penalty not prescrbed
by law, for the murder of Charles
Gray at Tacoma in 1904.
When Pasquale ascended the ecaf
fold at 5:30 Friday morning it was be
lieved all was in readiness and that
the execution would be a matter of
seconds rather than minutes. The
trap was sprung at exactly 5:34
o'clock, and then the sickening dis
covery was made that the rope from
which the gasping and struggling pris
oner hung was too long.
The attending physician denies that
the man was strangled to death, 'but
many of the spectators, are firmly of
the belief that Pasquale's death was
unnecessarily prolonged and his suf
fering needlessly intensified as a re
sult of the alleged carelessness of
some one.

his promise to come on to Nashville,
and therefore decided not to send a
guard with him.
