Sheriff Houston has located the sus-
poets al Helena and went after them this
morning. Two theories are advanced as
Ia the murder. One is that the two col
ored men who were noticed for their PEE
culiar actions at the Star lodging house
committed the deed. and that they killed
him for the money he had or was sup
posed To have. The other theory is that
that some Swedes are behind the affair.
When Ycrickson Tor Erickson as his
name was then given was brought down
from Bonita charged with lunacy. he
was laboring under the belief that some
body was going Ia kill him. Some people
think there was cause for that belief.
What the cause was nobody knows. He
may have offended some society of his
co,iutrymen. While his body was lying
in the engine house and was viewed 10y
scores of people il was noticeable that al
though there are many Swedes in the city
none of them yer to see him. That
points To some want Of sympathy between
him and his countrymen. Later develop
mcnts may prove who the guilty parties
are.
The Paying Teller lode, which was
described In the STANDARD some lays
ago, is in a fair way To be thoroughly de-
yeloped. Yesterday the Paying Teller
Consolidated Mining company was incor-
porated by NJ. T.. Rutherford, o l..
Sloane, J.. A. Woodward, ID. j. Heyfron,
Jesse A. Armitage, Fred Sterling, w. III.
Houston and Il. G.. Hathaway. The
Shakespeare and Paying Teller lodes,
which are on the same vein n include
all the prospects so far located on Jumbo
mountain, are consolidated and owned by
the new corporation. The stock Is flxed
at SiOO,OO in one dollar shares. OF which
100000 is treasury stock. Work will he

properties is very rich, and, II IL proves
sufficient in quantity. Missoula may be-
come a mining camp as well as mining
center.
