H.C. Wilmer, the well-known banker
was taken before Judge Clark yesterday
morning for an examination as to his
sanity. The complaint was sworn to by
Samuel ]. Lewis, brother-in-law o1
Mr.. Wilmer.
MIR. Wilmer was one OF the stock
holders OF the California bank, and fol
long time was an officer OF the institu-
ton. He was prosirated by overwork
and by reason of ill health retired from
active business life.
Drs. Hagan and Kurtz were summoned
to examine the unfortunate man, and
after thorough. observation and exam
ination adjudged him insane, and he
was ordered committed TO the asylum
for the insane at Stockton.
In their certificate, the physicians
state that the evidence of his brother,
j. M. Wilmer, his sister, Mrs. Mary A.
Lewis, his physician, DR.. ]. w. Hunt,
and that of his brother-in-law, Mr..
Lewis, shows that he wants to go about
without clothing, and refuses to be at
tended to. Also that he is very
violent at times, and is deeply
depressed by some business matter, the
nature of which he refuses to reveal to
any one, and which appears to be the
cause of his insanity, which they state
is developing.
He first showed symptoms of insanity
in July, 1890. and took long trip.
Four or five days ago he had an attack,
and on the 2Sth displayed his mania.
He is regarded as dangerous to himself
and others, and the commission attrib-
utes the loss of his mind to a close
application to business. Mr.. Wilmer is
native of this country and is but So
years of age. He will be taken to the
asylum as soon as possible. He became
violent several times yesterday, and
required constant watching, three men
being required to control him when the
attacks came on.
In an interview last evening with
ex-Sherif j. @. Kays, who is director
Of the California bank, he stated that
Mr.. Wilmer had not been identified
with the management OF the bank for
eighteen months past, at which time he
was taken down with general prostra-
tion caured by overwork. He left Los
Angeles one year ago on trip through
Arizona, Colorado, Washington and
some of the western states, in the hope
of regaining his health. He returned
home some six weeks ago but little inn
proved.
There were four additional examina-
tions for insanity, and in each case the
sufferers were committed to an institu-
ton. Their names are Walter f. Ollard,
Willis Stone, Max Gebhardt and John
Woh, the latter Chinaman.

BALL KICKERS.
Los Angeles Football Men Going to

Los Angeles Football Men Going to
Play in San Francisco.
Just now the lovers OF football are
deeply interested in the latest venture
of the Athletic club of this city.
The club has team of which they are
Justly proud, and about month or 30
ago they received an offer from the San
Francisco team to come north and play
for the championship of the coast.
Correspondence was exchanged be-
tween them, with the result of the
northern team guaranteeing the ex-
penses incurred in going north, and che
local boys will receive sufficient amount
of the gate receipts of the game to en-
able them to bear their expenses during
their stay and their return.
After their going became a settled
thing, the boys set to work practicing,
and now, at the end of three weeks, an
nounce their intention of putting up the
game of their lives.
At the last moment the team was dis
appointed by two of its most capable
players, w. Alcoin and Mr.. Bulpin,
having to remain at home owing to sick
ness.
The northern team has decidedly the
advantage in point OF average weight,
being 1875 pounds, while the Athletic
team weighs 155 pounds as an average.
Their rush line will average 164 pounds,
and the backs las pounds.
haThe boys left last night on the San
Francisco train. A large number of
their admirers were present to see them
off and wish them good luck.
They will play at the Haight-street
grounds Friday afternoon, January l.,
1892. A second game may possibly be
played. The team will be absent about
five days, and will probably return in a
body by steamer. G. Patrick will act as
captain to the boys.
The following composed the team, to-
gether with their relative positions
w. H. Kellar, full back; E. Chapman,
half back; w. Gard, bali back; J. D.
Stimson, quarter back; j. Bethune,
center rush P. Flammer, right guard (;
H. H. May berry, left back; II. Wilson,
left tackle; w. A. Tufts, right tackle /;
G. E. Patrick, left end H. W. Conger,
right end; subs, w. Tyler and Charlie
Howard.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
They Don't Want Their Names
Carved on the Wall.

Carved on the Wall.
On one of the large blocks of stone in
the retaining wall now being construct
ed around the court house grounds ap-
pear the names of the members of the
board of supervisors. The board learned
OF this yesterday for the first time, and
Immediately took measures to have the
block taken out and plain one insert
ed. A resolution was passed in which
was embodied the sentiment of the
board in regard to the matter.
They state that the court house was
built under the supervision of another
board, and that the names were carved
on the block without their direction or
knowledge.
The regular session was taken up
with routine matters.

In n of the standard British bio.

of Lord Castlereagh and the ghost. 1t
seems that when quite IL young man
Castlereagh commanded Il militia regi-
ment in Ireland. One night he was sta
toned i'll a large, desolate country house.
The bed upon which my lord reposed
was at the end of a long, dilapidated
room, while at the other extremity "A
great fire of wood and turf had been
prepared within a huge, gaping, old
fashioned fireplace. Waking in the mid
die of the night, Castlereagh lay watch
ing from his pillow the gradual darkening
OF the embers on the hearth, when sud-
denly they blazed up and a naked child
stepped from among them upon the
floor.
The figure advanced slowly toward
the drowsy but thoroughly puzzled gen.
eral, seeming to grow with surprising
rapidity at every step, until. coming
within two OF three PAGES Of his bed, il
had assumed the proportions and APP
pearance of Il CHASTITY giant, pale asdeath,
with bleeding wounds across the brow,
eyes seeming 10 glow with rage and de
spair. Lord Castlereagh said that he
leaped from the bed and confronted the
figure IN an attitude of defiance. where
upon it retreated before him, diminish
ing in size as it Withdrew, in the same
that it had previously shot up
and expanded.
He followed it. pace by pace, until
the original childlike form disappeared
among the embers. This story Lord
Castlereagh told and declared TO be true
in every particular at Il party in Paris in
1915 when Scott was among the hearers.

A Christmas Story

Is always appreciated by the majority
of people. both young and old. Well,
we always like to please the people, and,
judging from the many people who leave
our store smiling and happy every day,
we think we are succeeding in pleasing
very much: and what wonder. they buy
more goods for less money than they can
get elsewhere. and good. reliable goods,
too. We do not go on the principle that
the people like to be humbugged. but
believe in giving every customer an hon
est dollars worth Of goods for every dol
lar of money, whether they are posted on
the real value of the article or not. But
we want to tell you about our boys suits
OF clothing. Every mother in Great Falls
who has a boy should see them, and to
see them will be TO buy, for just think
about this:
\ suit that is good value at $50 we
will sell for 81.
A suit that is good value at 81 we will
sell for St.JO.
4 suit that is good value at s. we will
sell for $3.50.
And many more at the same rrduc-
ton. This, of course, is Il great sacri-
flee. but If you want to give your boy a
nice suit for :, Christmas present and
make him happy we will stand it. We
have just received another lot of those
beautiful plush coats and jackets. Call
and see FOR yourself if they are not the
best value for the money that you can
find in Great Falls. Just one thing
more and our story is told for this time.
Nearly every day ladies and gentlemen
come into our store and look at our car
pets. Dress Goods. Shoes. Comforts.
Blankets, Underwear. Hose. Cloaks.
Jackets. Fascinators. Hoods. etc. Some
times they think and say, Maybe we can
do better elsewhere" They go and try,
but they always come back and pur-
chase the article desired. This fact
speaks for itself.

Boston Transcript: The Boston Her
aid says that the silver department of
the Butte e. Boston Mining company is
just about self-supporting--that is to
say. it pays for underground develop.
ment, surface plant and running ex.
penses. A little later should a body OF
ore, which the company is seeking to
reach. prove as rich as is expected, a
good profit will be shown. The copper
department is producing about 100000
pounds of refined copper per month
which costs, including construction
about five cents per pound at Butte. II
costs 80 cents to deliver, refine and sell
it in New York, making the cost, sold
SO cents. The market price of casting
copper today is about l0ls cents. leaving
a profit of about two cents. or possibly
81 cents per pound, say $4,000 on
product OF 2,WOO,OOO pounds per month.
The notes payable of the company are
S220,OOO. The balance or floating debt
a shOr 100000, is in current accounts
offset by copper, material and supplies.
The capacity of the present works for
producing copper has been reached. In
time. new works are likely to be built at
Great Falls. The company has some
5000 shares of stock in the treasury. but
no other security that could be sold to
pay for new smelling OF refining facili-
ties. y bond would probably have to be
issued for that purpose.
