A Fine Day of Autumn Weather tx

A Fine Day of Autumn Weather in Mon
tana.
Yesterday was one of those half cloudy.
with sunshine, days which make
the Indian summer in Montana SO glorious.
Workmen on buildings labored in their
shirt sleeves while the light breeze barely
stirred the dust in the streets. Windows
were open all day to lot the rich ozone in.
A week ago tho ground was white with
snow, now the dry leaves are falling on the
green lawns. Toward evening q warm
to a chinook, which kept people up
half the night to enjoy its balmy
caress. Ovsrcoats we're laid away and
light suits were as numerous as last spring.
The day and night were blessed by tho jan
tors in the buildings where steam heating
plants are used, and the coal dealers figured
on one OF those open winters which make
the cattlemen smile.

Diehl Case with the Jury.

Dlent NdS0 W1Sh eh0 O"Ay
The defendant had his witnesses on the
stand yesterday. Among them was Obj
server Hobbs, of the weather bureau. He
testified from his records that about the
time the north wall of the building fell on
Merritt's house the wind was blowing be-
tween thirty-four and thirty-ive miles an
hour. Col. Nolan cross examined the OBJ
server about the difference in the velocity
of the wind on top of the Montana National
bank and in the vicinity of Merritt's house
on Water street but the observer stuck
to his record and would not venture an
opinion about the wind on Water street.
The theory of tho defense is that the high
wind blew the brick wall over en- the Mer-
rift residence. Several aid also testl-
fed for the defense concerning the con-
strnction of the building owned by Dleh!
and the materials employed. They agreed
that the mortar used was a fair quality.
Diehl also testified in his W behalf. he
county ATTORNEY put in evidence the written
testimony of Diehl as given before the
~coroner's jury last August when it was in
y~estigating the cause of young Merritt.s
death. In one particular it differs from his
testimony Of yesterday. The witness ex-
planned that if he had given any such tes-
tlmony he did not intend it az it appeared
in the record of the proceedings OF the cor
oner's jury. John A. Mcdonald, who is
defending Diehl, and the county attorney
agreed at the conclusion of the testimony
to submit the case to the jury without
argument. They will receive their instruc-
tions from Judge Hunt this morning.

BULLETIN No. 81.
For the week ending October "a, 1891.

There has been an excess of sunshine,
a great deficiency of temperature, and
an entire absence of rain during the
past seven days. These conditions
have been exceptionally favorable for
all harvesting purposes, and planters
report that there has rarely eve been
a reason when they have been enabled
to gather cotton so free from mud,
dust and trash as the present, and con-
sequeutly that the fine quality of the
staple will in a measure compensate
for the falling off in yield.
Reports from the sugar region are,
as a rule, very favorable. Grinding Is
becoming general, with good results,
especially from stubble cane, the Juice
of which is said to have never been so
dense before at the beginning of the
season. The outlook for the yield
from plant cane is not SO encourag-
ing.
The great bulk of the rice crop has
been moved and is now being thresh-
ed. The yield is upon the whole
satisfactory more satisfactory than was
anticipated a short time since.
Fall operations are al q standstill on
account of the drouth, the ground be-
ing too dry and hard for .plowing.
However, the bulk Of that kind Of work
in most sections of the State had al
ready been completed.
Killing frosts occurred at Alexandria,
Shreveport, Monroe. C~heneyville and
Clinton on the morning of the Goth,
and light frosts were general in the
northern and central portions of the
State ON several dates.
