Helena "Record': Nearly three weeks
have now passed since lsadore Myer and
William Ladure, OF Helena, started out for
the Missouri River, equipped with a fiat
boat, OF their own building, and several
guns for a season of hunting. They drove
a double team, which, two days later, was
found hitched to a tree, but no traces Of
the men could be discovered.
Since then the boat has been found with
the guns and ammunition in it, but moth
ing has been learned which reveals any
thing Of the whereabouts OF the men.
They started from Stubb's Ferry and from
this place several parties have gone in search
of them, induced by a reward of $500
offered for their bodies by a French woman
On Clore street named Cora, who was affil-
lated with one of the men.
Their efforts, however, have met with no
success and now it is generally believed that
both of the men have either been drowned
or murdered.

A SURPRISE FOR THE PEOPLE IN
THREE MURDER TRIALS.

The First Murder Case In Ten Years-The
Grand Jury Returns Three True Bills
The Brutal killing of j. A. Lavelle by
Charles neutrality-suspicious. Case.
FORT BENTON, Mont. November 49,
Especial to the Miner by the Rocky Noun
tain Telegraph Line. l-Tbe district court
for Choteau county has been in session
since the 7th inst. The grand jury re-
turned three true bills for murder and has
another pending, that OF the Bl. ckfoot
Indian who killed one of his tribe on the
reservation some time ago.
THE TRIAL OF GORDON
for the murder of J. A. Lavelle terminated
this afternoon in d .erdict of murder in
the first degree.
The murder occurred at the town of Cho-
teau on the 9th of July last, where both
men were strangers, engaged in herding
sheep IN ranches neal by. They had been
seen drinking together for two days. but no
one knew of their quarreIing. At 10 p. N.
Lavelle was sitting in front Of the Choteau
Hotel when Gordon suddenly appeared
with a drawn pistol and said to Lavelle,
"Come here, come here" The crowd dis
persed, and Lavelle tried to escape by run
ming into the barroom. Gordon pursued
and shot his victim down and then attempt
co to escape, but was overtaken by wit,
nesses OF the cowardly transaction.
When he came to trial he practically had
no defense, save that Lavelle had insulted
him during the day.
THE TRIAL OF MAX HOPPE
for tho murder OF Adams, near Fort Con-
rad. while en- route to Fort Mcleod, which
occurred last spring, and for which Hoppe
was e%xtradited from Canada, will commence
the 18th.
The trial of Michael Fitzgerald indicted
for murder will ommence tomorrow.
Fitzgerald shot and wounded a bad negro
named Williams who was trying to run the
town at Fort Benton, September LIST last.
The negro finally died and Fitzgerald was
held to answer for the murder.
1t is but just to the old citizens OF Cho-
teau county to say that all the parties to
murder cases are strangers and these
are the first murder trials in ten years.

THE "TIMES"-P4RNELL CASE.
Continuing the InvestigatiOn-Parnellite
Witness Threatened.

LONDON, November 13.-At a meeting OF
the Parnell Commission, presiding Justice
Hannan minated the courts decision in
the matter OF the disclosure of documents,
that all documents OF the ''Times," includ-
ing even those which! the "Times" solicitor
thought spurious, should be disclosed in
order to assist in the search for truth.
Sir Charles Russell, counsel for the Par
~nellites, stated that he had received several
threatening letters. Justice Hannah re-
marked that he, also, and probably others
engaged IN the case, had received similar
letters. Intimidation OF witnesses, he said,
was so certain that precaution must be
taken not to allow the premature dis
closure of their names.
THE TAKING OF EVIDENCE
in relation to outrages wal then proceeded
with. James Marion declared himself a
Fenian and a member of the national
league. He had taken part in several out
RACES and in moonlight expeditions. He
knew no moonlighter who was not also a
member of the league.
Peter Flaherty, a farmer OF Galloway,
testified that lie WAS d mooulighter and
not ashamed TO acknowledge it. He was
perfectly ready to act with the moon
lighters again.
Edward Flanagan said he had been in
America since 1879. He had been present
at several league meetings in Pittsburg and
New York, at which Stephen j. Meany had
presided. He said Meany collected funds
for the purpose of buying trearmsfor use in
Ireland.
The court then adjourned.

In Gleanings in Bee Culture is described
the plan of Michigan apiarian by which
he gets two small packages Of comb honey
that have proven very popular IN his mar
ket.
A seven-eighths board is selected Just
long enough to slip inside Of Langstroth

he scoops off the shavings. The shavings
of course roll up, but he tumbles them
into pail Of water. and when they get

piled up and dried. This gives thin strips
of veneer, and cheaper than you can i'm
agine. He then fixes board as In the
second engraving. The Langstroth frame
is slipped over this board.
These little blocks are made by gluing
three-eighths board on top Of seven
eighths board, as you see Now, with .
circular saw, cut grooves clear through
the thin board until the saw strikes the
thick one. These grooves are Of such q
width that three Of the afore mentioned
strips Of veneer will drop into each
groove, the strips running lengthwise of
the frame. When this is done, three
short pieces Of veneer are dropped into
the grooves crosswise. But to make
these bits of wood stay in place when the
frame is pulled up. little glue Is put
into each corner with Q cameps hair
brush. You want to be careful, so tho
