Nature.
DENVER, Aug. 22.-Three men were killed

lost control of the engine, whereupon the
whole train started on wild run down the
mountain side. When Engineer Norton
found he couldn't control the engine he
jumped and was killed. The fireman then
climbed back over the tender and attempted
to uncouple the engine, but was unsuccess-
full and sustained serious injuries in Jump
ing from the train. Both brakemen
jumped, one being almost instantly killed
and the other suffered injuries from which
it is thought impossible to recover. The

Prevailed.
New YoRK, Aug. 22.-There was an enor-
mo Is crowd Of brokers in the stock ex-
change at the opening arranging for a re-
newal of loans. The renewals were nearly
all made at per cent. per annum, with q
premium of one-fourth per cent. added.
But as the loans made to-day carry the
brokers over until Monday the premium
does not make the rate nearly as high as
yesterday. Toward noon three-eighths pre-
mium and interest was paid, but the argent
demand was easily supplied. and the rate
fell of in the afternoon. Money is COM
paratively easy and hopeful feeling pre-
walls. London houses are liberal buyers
of stocks. There were reports that Secretary
Window was in the city and would confer

ference was held. The general belief. how
ever, is that the circular of the treasury as
sured easy money after September LIST and
that the danger line is passed.

From Custody.
M1ssouLA, Aug. .22.-[Special.] Tho pre-
liminary examination of Thompson and
Fred Edwards, who had been held for the
killing of their uncle, w. H. Edwards, vas
held at Grantsdale. The whole evidence at
the examination tended to exculpate the
boys from any connection with the crime,
if crime has been committed. and after
it was all in the judge rendered verdict
that there was no probable cause for be-
lieving the defendants guilty and ordered
that they be discharged. The trial ex-
cited great deal of interest in the CON-
mnnity, where the feeling had been rather
against the boys, but the opinion since the
evidence has been brought out has veered
around and now very few, if any, believe
they had any hand in their uncle's death,
which is just as much mystery as ever.

Ger VS.. the Montana Central railroad for

promptly.

of this was wheat. My potatoes are as

In size aud not a hollow one among them.

THE PRESIDENCY.

A Democrat Differs With Morrison Mum
ford.
To the Editor of the TRIBUNE: Who
is Munford that l see by your paper of
yesterday dominates Cleveland for presi-
dent in 1899? Seems to me it is rather
early to trot out the horses. Cleveland
himself is wiser than Munford in intim-
ating that a better leader could be found.
Cleveland has lost his grip. He lost it
when he allowed republicans to hold Of
fees which democrats had fairly won.
He lost it when he showed GOODNESS for
Montana and allowed Sparks to harrass
honest settlers. He lost it when he
sprung the tariff issue and thus played
the very card the republicans wanted.
1t is never wise to enter
a beaten horse for the presidential
ra:e. We have plenty Of good timber In
Montana and will have something to say
