office on Bridge street, STAG 0 in gold dust.
He locked it, and carried the key in his
pocket. Before night he discovered that
his safe had been opened and robbed. BE
made no particular secret of the matter, but
the affair was soon forgotten.
Mr.. Rue, a detective from Philadelphia,
having heard of the robbery, undertook to
unravel the mystery. Thinking he had
found some clue that would lead to the dis
covery of the robber and the restoration OF
the plumber, he approached Mr.. Bristol to
secure his cooperation in the further prose-
cution of the investigation. Mr.. B. replied
that he had about forgotten the affair and
did not wish to engage in the search
However Mr.. Rue continued his search,
and obtained information that satisfied him
that the theory he had adopted was correct.
Finally Mr.. Bristol consented to act with
Mr.. Rue in hunting up the matter. After
three weeks diligent working Mr.. Rue had
the satisfaction of obtaining from DR.. A. e.
lngersoll (who is now engaged in merchan-
dising in Vestal), q full confession that he
had committed the robbery. Attachments
were issued yesterday morning covering his
stock of goods at Vestel, valued at about
So, 900, and his half interest in a band OF

On Monday last Jack Walsh, a trainer
and driver of trotting horses, who has lived
in Missoula more or less for several years
past, ended his earthly career by shooting
himself twice through the body. The facts
Of the case are as follows: Jack had been
on a spree on Sunday evening, and, as usu-
al On such occasions, was disorderly, turn
ing his wife and mother-in-law out of the
morning, at about II o'clock, he came into
the house, informed his mother-in-law Mrs.
Miller, that he was going to shoot himself,
and asked her to shake hands with him,
which she refused to do, being busy doing
some mending at the time, and giving some
careless reply. He then turned to his wife
and asked her if she would shake hands with
him. She complied, saying "certainly."
After his whim was gratified, he stepped in
to All adjoining and fired two shots,
and in a few moments afterward a third one,
two of them taking effect-one ball enter
ing below the left nipple, CHANGING round,
and coming out through the back another
entering above the nipple, penetrating the
left lung, and lodging under the shoulder
