Rock Slides,

DENVER, April l8.-Since the snow
began melting or the mountains rock
slides of greater or less magnitude al
most daily occur. Early this morn
ing a large boulder fell on the bridge
across the GunnisOn near CimaroOn

to this there were a half dozen small
slides to day between Currecanti

Black Canyon. The regular west
bound passenger train went as far as
these slides and was waiting for
workmen to clear the track when an
other slide came down, striking the
engine and turning it oyer
instantly, killing Engineer Arthur
Bratt and slightly iniuring Fireman

having been imported In the egg by

sired to know about old friends and

The Break In Whisky,

CINCINNATI, April l8.-Whisky
manufacturers assert that a break in
price was necessary in self defense
caused by rate cutting by some mem
hers of the pool, particularly New

prices could not be maintained till
May lat when the 20 per cent. re-
duction on production takes effect.
Another matter makes the break
unfortunate, which is that arrange
ments have just been made whereby
the total cost Of shipment from
Bremen to Louisville, Lexington,
Covlngton and Cincinnati has oeen
reduced from So to $40.

ing: IF John Harvey is not crazy,
then some of his actions are inclined
very much that way. He seems to
be n constant terror that some one
will shoot him. A crazy man is con-
fined in a cell opposite to him, and
John one day this week called Bob
Lane in, saying: II want that man
taken away from here. I know he

me. Either you have got to take him
away from here. or place me in q

NJ. w. H.. Smith, Of Baker Station,
arrived In Missoula on Sunday, hav>
ing In charge a crazy man whom be
had captured with Joe Catching's
assistance after q fight with shOtguns
and Winchester rifles. 1t SCENE the
mau was in MissOula last week and
while intoxicated u friend took his
watc1 for safe keeping, but through
some complication the matter ended
in q trial on charge of larceny. A day
or two after the man went crazy, per-
haps owing to Incorporate habits,
and imagined that some railroad man
wanted to kill him. He thought he
was approached by q section boss
who hired him to go up the canyon to
work. While on the road up the
track he saw two men APP
preaching and hid in the
bushes, but they found
him and were going to kill him. He
q away and finally reache Mr..
Smiths house and told Mr.. Smith
that some men were after him aDd he
wanted some place to hide. He took
possession of a shotgun and climbed
into the garrett. He SION began firing
and Mrs Smith thoroughly fright
ened, ran out to the q Id where her
husband was at work. Mr.. Smith
and Joe Catching returned with
Winchester rifles. and ordered the
man to come down. He began firing
at them through the floor and they
returned the compliment with their
rifles. The battle waged fiercely for
some time, Smith and Catching fir
ing bullets up through the floor at
every point they could hear . foot
step. The man was finally hit in
the leg and was induced to come
down, when he was made captive.
1t was then found that he was crazy,
and was taken to Missoula. The floor
in Smiths house is said to be riddled
with bu lets and that all escaped
serious injury IS y wonder.
The mau's name Is Edward Gun.

day to determine his mental condi-
ton by a jury composed of Dr.: Hub
