MARSHALL, Juno ls.-lSpccial. In the
ease of the State of Texas vs.. Anthony
Walker for the killing of William Henry,
the jury after being out about an hour
returned u verdict of guilty and assessed
his punishment nj death. AZ the time
of the happening Of this unfortunate
affair, the special of the Galveston News
m ,do report of the Same to that paper, IN
which Ii was stated that the wife of the
man was suspected of being m accom-
plice In the murder For this suit
has been instituted against the News for
libel. and $4,000 In asked for, as tho price
of her wounded honor.
Tho trial of the negro, walker, for the
murder, has excited much special inter
est. Able counsel were employed on
both sides. The verdict of the jury
meets the appreciation of our people.
Night before last while the Miss Man
gers were quietly dreaming the happy
hours away, ono of the young ladies was
suddenly aroused by hand being placed
upon her. She sprang up just In TINE

burly negro. The balance of the family
were Immediately aroused, the alarm
givon, and soon Policeman Lewis, with
his pack of dogs, was on the trail, but
they failed to come upon the iicnd. Dur
ing the day, they were informed that II
negro man suiting the description of the
one hunted, had left with construction
train going north. Dispatches were sent
forward to intercept him. He was
arrested mt Atlanta, and our
chief, together with other deputy
police, went up by first train
to bring him down to this city. Yesterday
evening large crowd had assembled ut
the depot awaiting the train that
was To have brought the fugitive.
1t Is needless To say that much excite
ment prevailed. The train finally came,
but not the negro. Various conjocturos
are entertained ny To what became OF
him. II X thought by some that he got
away. Others say that the authorities
here, experimenting trouble, instructed
that he be detained elsewhere until the

A Valuable W ork.

The pamphlet Of the Montana Wool
Growers association work Of 100 pages,
is now completed, and in a few days
will be distributed among the members
OF the association and others entitled to
it. This is, perhaps, the first volume
v printed in Montana devoted exclu-
sively to the interests of any particular
branch of the stock industry, and it is
most %creditable to the Wool Growers
association.
The contents of the work is as follows:
officers of the association constitution !;
bylaws historical sketch meeting of
January 81, 1883 meeting of July 10,
1888 presidents address secretary's
report Montana wool, by Henry M.
Martin, Of Boston; the American mer-
inc, by Paris Gibson the French mer-
inc, by Elias Beach treatment of scab,
by David Hilger; the tariff question, by
T.. w. Peck among the wool men of
the east; how shall we market our
woods how shall we breed; the associa-
ton; the gentle shepherd miscellan-
eous; the scab law advertisements.
The volume has been carefully edited
by L. w. Peck, secretary of the associs-
ton, and much Of the matter prepared
by him. The subjects are all treated in
a practical way, and a great fund of val
liable information is conveyed through
the pamphlet to those who are engaged
in the WOOL business. The book was
issued from the RIVER PRESS office, and
we believe it will be admitted by all
that in its topographic appearance and
general makeup it is as creditable a
piece of work as any establishment in
the west could turn out.

The Merchants IN National Bank.

We call the attention of the reader to
the statement of the Merchants Nat
ional Bank, of Helena, published else
where in these columns. The business
of this bank has just about doubled in
the past year, until now their assets foot
up over 81 900, 600, as exhibited in the
report. 1t will be seen that the total
available cash resources amount to owe
1906 900, and that the deposits aggregate
$685., 387. 90, from which some idea of its
extensive business transactions can be
formed. The Merchants National has
won a we'll deserved reputation as a
financial Institution throughout the ter
ritory. It's managers and directors are
men of extensive wealth, who are
largely interested in and identified with
the varied industries of the territory,
and whose James are a tower of finan-
cial strength. The Bank of Northern
Montana, of this city, is a connection of
the Merchants National, l.. HI. Hersh-
field & Bro, the principal stockholders
in the latter, being interested with
Messrs. Collins and Duer.

as he returns the drive will commence.
The Is, 900 posts are already in the water
and within two weeks the 1000 cords of
excellent pine wood will be floating
with the current towards Fort Benton.
The most difficult part of the drive will
probably be at the canyon, but by dam
ing the stream at that point they have
overcome the difficulty to a great ex-
tent and anticipate no great trouble.
Mr.. Mckay is an indefatigable ~rustler,
and if it is within the line of possibility
to get this timber to Benton he will &C
complish the task.

A communication was received Thurs
day from the committee appointed at
the railroad meeting at Helena, notify
ing the Fort Benton portion of the in
corporation committee of their appoint
ment, and asking if they were willing
to serve in that capacity, and urging
that they should do SO.
Messrs. Conrad, Maclay and Collins
had a conference Thursday to consider

an answer to the letter, in which the
trust imposed is accepted and the assur-
anc given to Helena that everything
possible will be done at this end of the
line to further the enterprise in which
the citizens of the capital have taken SO
deep an interest.
Thisaction On the part of the gentlemen
named will meet with hearty approval,
and when the time comes their pledge of
cooperation will be fully redeemed. Now
that the first steps in the matter have
been taken in the right direction we
trust that a general meeting will be call
ed to give public expression to the same
sentiments.
