place last evening at the school house,
has been postponed one week. Re-
member the date, May End, 1890
Quite an accident occurred at, or near
Dundee last Saturday evening. Mr..
Ed Quincy and Miss Youtsey, Mr..
VIM. Tacker and Miss Hartshorn were
taking drive after church, and started
to have little race, when, through q
little missmanagement, they ran into
each other and upset. Miss Youtsey
was bruised some little while Miss
Hartshorn, we are told, was pretty
badly hurt.
We had the pleasure Of attending the

noon. The programme was most too
long for US to give full account of it,
suffice it to say it consisted of dialogues,
essays, declamations, instrumental
music and songs. The rendition by
the little folks and their excellent good
order, showed the qualification of the
teacher in charge.

HE WAS A HIGH ROLLER
r. A. Emmons Has to Rustic to Es'
cape Arrest for Question
able Transactions at
PhIiipsburg.

PmLIPsBURG, March 25.-R. A. EN-
mons. an agent Of the Equitable Life in
sun ancc company Of New York, was hero
some two months ago In the interest Of
his company, and did q good business.
Mr.. Emmons has n way OF doing BUSH
ness, however, that Is quite new. For in
stance, he insured n few prominent BUSH
ness men of this city and after writing up
their policies, he would suggest To them
that as times were hard he would be
pleased to take q note at a low rate Of in
tcrcst for the amount of the premium. In
fact he offered this as an inducement.
After securing a note he would at once
place il in the bank and draw the money.
Then he would again call Oh his guileless
and u~nsuspecting prey n inform them
that he would discount their paper a few
dollars III they would pay cash, which they
promptly did, taking Emmons' receipt for
payment instead of getting their notes, he
Of course offering some apparently
PLAUSIBLE excuse for not returning their
notes.
The other day some of the victims were
notified by the bank that they held their
paper for certain nj due the Equit-
ble Life insurance company. II was then
that the air Is reported to have turned
blue in several places around town, and
"a warrant was at once issued for Emmons'
arrest. Deputy Sheriff Barnes found his
man yesterday in Missoula; he rustled the
money aud settled costs and all with the
officer, thereby averting arrest. During
Mr.. Emmons' quite brilliant career here
he was known rs n high roller against
faro banks; he seems to have hecn COM
plctely infatuated with the game and
wanted the ceiling for q limit. This was
undoubtedly the cause Of his dishonesty,
as he seenIed to be quite a gentleman.
There were two cars of the track at the
depot to-day delaying IA only train a
couple of hours.

Drowning His Sorrows.

Judge Aspiring had "A very unusual and
somewhat pathetic case on his docket
yesterday morning. II seems Constable
Boyle arrested and jailed n man whom he
had found drunk and asleep On the
sidewalk the night before. He
was taken to Judge Aspling's court
yesterday morning and was looking prct-
" ''rocky" as the saying goes.
You are arrested for being drunk and
asleep in the highway" said the judge.
Are you guilty or mot guilty!
Guilty" said the man i'm a dishear-
tened tone of voice.
"Arc you married ." asked the Judge.
ayes, sir" responded the man.
"You feel bad TO be placed in this posi-
ton. do YOU" asked the Judge.
"Ies. sir; very bad. It's the first time
/ ever was in such a fix" responded thc
morose individual. r
Tho Judge then told him ia n kind man.
ncr to go home, ~whereupon he burst
into tears and told a sorrowful tale
as Ca how his life had bccn n path of
tllorns. He related how he had become
enamorcd with an orphan girl in n
normal school and how he had subse-
qucntly married her against the wishes
Of his parents who had disin-
herited him. He said that
his had been one continual round
of trials and tribulations cvcr since that.
No matter what start he would make some
unforeseen circumstance would set him
back. He had finally become discour-
aged, and on Monday had succumbed Ia
the tempting desire TO forget himself IN
Intoxicating beverages. The judge gave
him some kind and encouraging advice.
