graders of the Great Northern extension,

about 500 which the men had on the
table.
The graders were commanded to throw
up their hands, and, upon refusing to do
so, the robbers opened fire, killing two
players outright and severely iDjuring the
remaining one. The masked men secured
what money was on the table and, marrying
outside mounted horses and fled.
1t was some little time before the alarm
could be given, but as soon as the fact be-
came known the entire camp turned out.
Stri king the trail of the murderous wretches
the incensed graders followed it tor about
fifty miles, when all traces disappeared.
Had the pursuers overtaken the robbers the
murder Of their co-laborers would have
been speedily avenged.
A gang Of thieves have been operating
along the line of the extension for some
time past, but have never made so bold a
stroke AS that of Yesterday. The
officials of the Great Northern in charge OF
the construction at that point have authen-
ticated the report, and Sheriff Houston of
Missoula county has been notified of the

organizations submitted evidences OF their
own desirability as sites, and for some rea-
son or other little attention was given to
these places.

rotary OF war to send to the senate copies OF
all recommendations and statements OF
boards OF trade, chambers Of commerce and
other commercial bodies and municipal
corporations presented since Oct l, either

gested to such board as proper for the pur-
