CRIMINAL COURT TODAY. Expected That It Will Adjourn With- out te Here After Short Session. The criminal superior court will come in here this morning at 10 o'clock and it is expeoted that the session will adjourn without date, There remains but little business to be done, and it is expected that it will be disposed of or taken Into the next term. State's Attorney Hull will have a talk with the judge regarding Kiley, and it would not be surprising if he was allowed his freedom because of the assistance he has been to the state through his confession and later as- sistance. In the Ridisz case there is a elaim by his‘attorneys that he is lnsane, but if he would plead guilty in the second degree ‘to murder it Ia believed he would be allowed to by the state, oth- erwise his case will probably zo over to the next term, although the state’s attorney is anxious to get it out of the way. The Tomlinson oase also remafns. Jurass will be brought inte court todey and he will receive his sentence which by the verdict will be life im- prisonment. His attorneys will prob- ably file motions regarding a stay of Judgment and possibly notioe of an ap- N. F. A. Independents Meet Tigers. The N. F. A.

MITH The Drug Man, veen | Franklin Sqnare, Norwich, Ct. tanioa ] Kirby of Fall Hur s a Flourishing City. Through noticing an advertisement of the Abbott business college at Bill- ings, Montana, and some correspond- ence that has ensued with its owner, Principa] Walter E. Canfield of the Norwich business college, has lately Dbeen reminded of ome of the early chapters in his life that few of his Toca Priends ate familiar with, Twen: ty-six years ago, after nine years spent in the west, Mr. Canfield came east again to his home in Bridgeport, leaving Billings, a tent town of about 1,000 people, where he had bought the first lot and bullt the Arst buflding in_the place. Now, by souvenir books of the city that have been sent him, Billings is shown to be a town of 16,000 popula- tion, situated in the midst of a rich agricultural section, having two elec- tric light and power stations, two tel egraph systems, three railroads run. ning into 1t, seven banks with deposits of $4,000, oab seven theaters, the only Y. M, C. A'b in the atate and built at a cost of $90,000, a million and a quarter dollar beet sugar factory, two cold storage and packing plants, two planing mills, two candy facto- ries, three brickyards, brewery, iron works, flour mill,” and other manufac- turing plants. Like many another boy since, Mr. Canfleld ran away from home when & boy, to “fight Indlans,” but with this difference from most of the youthful Deadwood Dicks, that he got there. When be was about 14 he picked as the proper time to start after the red men, and quietly slipped away from his home in Bridgeport, reaching Bis- marck, Dakota, where he found work at once in a grocery store and driv- ing a baker's wagon. Changing em- ployers several times, he finally went to work for a man who had the con- tract_for supplying the soft coal for the Northern Pacific railroad, which was building through there and estab- lishing new towns. At Coulson, Mon- tana, they put up the first building in the piace, and then pushed on 2head, as they knew that the railroad was to lay out another town. This was Billings, and here again they put up the first building, and young.Can- fleld bought the first lot, paying $50 for it and selling it in three or four months for $1,600. One of the most Interesting experi- Walter E. Canfield Went West to Fight Indians whena Lad and Owned a Lot in B\llilgc.uonl..vhnuNov —_— ences at Billings for young Canfield was in connection with the coming into the town with the first train, among whose Tgers was a pariy of eastern capitalists under escort of ! Benstor Sabin. A yelling crowd of cowboys, celebrating in approved cow- boy fashion with the firine of th: guns, surrounded the train upon its ar- rival and the effete easterncrs scared almost to death, Great was the astonishment of young Canfield when he saw step from_ the train in the senator’s party, D. W. Morgan, a Bridgeport man, whom he had known at home. Stepping out from the crowd Canfleld extended a hand to the Bridgeport man, who w him at once, although he had not seen him since he was a merg boy. For two days the senator’s stayed at Billings, Canfleld was thelr guest and had a royal good time. As to “fighting Indians,” m h. arrived in the west, youn found that work was the prlnc\nll hing expected of everyone out thers, sut he saw plenty of the redskins, liv- ing across the Yellowstone river from the Crow reservation for a number of years. One of the memorable events in this connection was that he was the only civilian present at the sur- render of Sitting Bull to Captain Clif- ford, and now has a card with the signature of Sitting Bull, which th indian chief copled after Mr. Canfield had first written his name for him Another Indian experience, and a har- rowing one that will never be forgot- ten, was seeing the bodies of Custer and his men when they were brought | down on the river boats after the fa- mous massacre. So terrible was the sight of the fearfully hacked up bod- ies that there was not a man who saw it who could keep back his tears. The bodies of the soldiers wers 8o completely covered with wounds made by 'the knives of the Sloux that not a place the size of a man's hand could be found on any part of their bedles, clear of wounds. Principal Canfleld hopes some day to be able to revisit these scenes of his early adventures. One of his letters inquiring about the Blllings men of his time has been published in their dal paper, and may result, he hopes, in the finding of some of the old pals of the Billings of 1882. OPENING NUMBER OF ACADEMY MUSICAL COURSE. George Hamlin, Tenor, Thoroughly Im- pressed His Large Audience With His Ability and Voioe. Much interest in the Academy musi- cal courge was evidence by the large number present at Slater hall on Fri- day evening. Considering the storm and the counter attraction elsewhere, the attendance was unusually good. ‘This first number of the course was a song recital by the well lknown American tenor, George Hamlin, who tully realized the anticipations and interest which the announcement of his a) ce here awakened and treated the audience to a most delight- ful evening of mu: Dleasure. Ials songs ware given with so much artistic grace and expression that no one could fail to be intensely interested In his renderings. The great varlety, too, in his programme was most attractive and showed much versatility and mu- sical intelligence by the easy manner in which he reproduced the indvidual style and stmosphere of each of the ifferent gro of songs. In the first groco petioh oulazly ‘the contrast be- Frcon tho simple style of Handel as given In the song O, Sleep from his full oratorical style shown in The Trumpet's Loud Clangor was excel- lently portrayed, The former song was more he two pf‘cefllng melodi- ous Old German songs. Schubert, Beethoven and Schumann were repre- sented in the second group—the two tongs by Schumann being gtven with i1l and depth of ex.pruslon ‘which aroused muoh enthusiasm among his listeners. In response to the contin- ued applause he generously gave as en- core Phyllis Hes ®uch Charming Graces—thie old English song by Young. The next _group, by Rubinstein, Brabms and Strauss, were charming in their power and contrasting shadows and were also followed by an extra number—this one being Mrs. Beach's ‘The Years at the Spring. The fourth group of English songs were recelved with even more enthu- siasm if possible. The first two_were from Roger s “Seven Eliza- bethan Lyries,” & new composition of much beauty. Two other new songs by Schnelder, Your Eyes and Flower Rain, were given with exquisite grace and skill—the second, which was sin- gularly appropriate to the occasion, Mr. Hamlin was obliged to repeat, as also the closing song, Salter's T Lamp of Love. Between these two ne groups Mr. Hamiin inserted Samuel Lover’s Irfsh song, “I Am Not Myself At All" which was given by request and accorded a hearty welcome, Mr. Hamlin was assisted by Fdwin Bruce Story at the pland, who deserves cred is skilful and sympathetic accompaniments to the songs.
