THE GREAT WHEAT STEAL.
Broker Held at Buffalo in Default of
Bail-The Charges.


BUFFALO, August 13.-The grain short
age case has taken a new turn. On COM
plant of one OF the losers by the operations
of Sherman Bros. & Co., managers OF s..
F, Sherman of the associated elevators,
and E. G. Loveridge, his assistant, were ar
rested last night on a charge OF grand lar
ceny. They remained in jail all night.
Sherman was ar~raigned in police court at
noon and pleaded not guilty. he waived
an examination and was remanded pend
ing the procurement of bail. Loveridge is
not arraigned.
1t was nearly noon when the case OF
Stephen Sherman was reached in the
police court. Sherman was arraigned on a
charge OF grand larceny in the first degree
in having stolen and converted to his W
nae 2 .27O bushels of wheat to the value oil
81. 900 from the Lake Shore Elevating Co.
He pleaded not guilty and waived examina-
ton. ,
He was then arranged on the charge OF
having sold and delivered to unknown par
| ties 2,27O bushels OF wheat, for which the
| warehouses receipts had been issued as
| depository with the warehouseman with
| out cancellin. such receipts.
| A third and fourth charge OF slmilat
nature was also preferred.
To all the charges the defendant pleaded
not guilty and waived examination. He
was then formally held to answer and com
mitted in default OF bail.
IL should be explained that this actor
was taken owing to the fact that polic'
~;nstices cannot take bail in cases where thu
nenalty is over five years except to hear a
| his own court for future examination.
From an official source it was learpe'
that the total shortage at the different ele
vators amounts to $3.50 600. The valu
NJ the elevator stock recovered is $2Oo,
600, SO that the loss to be met by elevate
owners is $175,OO0.

Road no THE CHAMPION.
Advantages to Butte by Such an Enter

Advantages to Butte by Such an Enter
prise-Business Men, Awaken.
Some time ago q few business men OF
Butte realized the fact that a wagon road
to the Champion mine, situated about
eighteen miles from Deer Lodge, would De
beneficial to this city. Since the idea hrst
dawned upon them .hey have beer quietly
but earnestly talking the matter over, till
now now the scheme has assumed a more
formidable shape. The necessity OF such
road is patent to all the business men 0
the community, because it will make Butte
tributary to that whole section. Persons
desiring to visit the Champion are now
compelled to 60 via Deer Lodge, the dis.
tance from there being about as lar
as it is from Butte. If road were built
from this city to the Champion. people OF
that section would come to Butte Tor their
supplies in preference to going somewhere
else, the advantage to them being appar'
ent.
A few days ago Ben Catching, accom-
named by another man, left Butte Tor the
purpose OF selecting a feasible route. lhey
found that a road could be constructed up
telegraph gulch, via the Argentine group oil
mines. but estimated that the cost for
grading, bridge building and filling in would
be about SIS, 900 or 5 $4,000. The road
from this city to beyond Browns gulch is
a good one. and the necessity OF expendine
money on this end will consequently cut no
figure. The proposed route runs close to
Fosters ranch.
The MINER would suggest that the road
he built by all means, even though it has
to be done by subscription The Argentine
group is now producing some high grace
ore. some of it assaying as high as 4OG
ounces to the ton. and by building the roao
Butte will not only get the Champion dis

sumed work. A boarding house is being
erected and a small force OF men under the
