was captured by Mike Foley" saba citi-
zen of that camp yesterday, when speak
ing of the capture of the villain. when
taken he DIDN'T have that big rifle he
took with him and the conclusion is he
found it too heavy and cached it some
where. We expect to find it in the
vicinity of Fletcher's cabin. Everyone
expected that armed with that dangerous
weapon he would make Il fight for his
life, but he must have weakened and con-
cludcd to surrender for he was meek as
a lamb when arrested and accompanied
the sheriff and deputy to White Sulphur
Springs without a murmur. Speaking
of that rifle he took from Barker, why
that's one of the worst guns in the state.
1t is what's sometimes called a buffalo
gun. 1t weighs about eighteen pounds
and would easily kill a man IA mile away

mountain, and with the aid Of the gun
stand off a posse in great shape. It's q
good thing FOR the fellows who arrested
Lee that he didn't haye the gun with

The body of Alex Fontainc, the boy
drowned in the river Tuesday night, was
not found yesterday, and it is doubtful
if it ever is recovered. The bottom of
the river FOR quite a distance below the
boom was dredged a number of times
yesterday, and some N exploded four
or five sticks of giant powder in the
water in the hopes it would rise to the
surface. but all to no avail. The current
being pretty strong in the locality Of the
disaster, the body \ must have been
whirled down stream soon as it sank.
The poor parents are completely pros
trated oyer the loss of their boy, and the
fact that the body cannot be found
makes the ease sadder still.

Daily Trains Wanted.

The train from Monarch, Wednesday.
didn't reach here until , o'clock yester-
day morning. and Il numbcrof complaints
were heard from those who were aboard.
It left Monarch about 5 p. M, thus re
uuiring six hours to make the run. Ev-
cryonc says there is freight and passCn-
ger traffic enough between this city and
Monarch to warrant daily trains. 1t
would he Il good thing for the railroad
company and IL great blessing to the pco-
pie of the Belt mountains and this soc
ton. 1t is no doubt the intention of the
company to put ON daily trains when the
two branches are built, but why not put
them ON now? by all means give us the
best possible service between Great
Falls and the great mining country.
With daily trains the company would
soon get the contract for carrying the
mails, and that would be another good
thing for the Belt mountain and judith
country.

THE SHELTER THAT SOON WILL BE.
The Blooming Young City, North Great
Falls-How Great Falls Is Building.

Falls-HOw Great Falls Is Building.
Among the other great buildings which
Great Falls sees daily climbing skyward,
the great smelter still grows o IL The
S25O,OOO dam was long since concluded.
Far into the former channel of the
Missouri a large portion the race way
now extends, it's thick stone walls
ready any moment to assume control of
the rapid current. Hugging the hill of
rock the walls of the concentration are
fast assuming large proportions and just
around the edge of the neighboring hill,
another massive wall is growing far
above its base. The constant click Of
the stone hammers.t the hoarse commands
of the bosses. the loud shouts of the
teamstcrs and the steady onward pro-
grcss of the work, present a wonderful
scene of industry. and, while the walls
go up and two hundred men are busy
turning natures gifts to the Use of man
the constant roar of the falls below goes
on. assuring every nearer that its
power is gigantic. ineXhaustible and
needs but the brain of man to run many
a thriving industry. High up on the
hill above. the bricklayers are building
the great tower heavcnward. 1t is now
about eighty feet in the air and must be
built 1t hundred more before it will be
completed. 1t will probably be at least
a month before the tower is completed
and fully three months before the
smclter is finished.
They are daily many visitors who
watch the course of building from the
east side. The falls too are a never fail
ing source of interest. They seem to
possess some peculiarly subtle f~ascina-
ton. The great wall of dark green water
flowing sullenly toward the rock. then
falling and dashing itself into ii million
minute foam-capped waves fills behold
ers with a sense of its mighty power.
Across in North Great Falls times give
promise of picking up. The population
is Il Woodworking II and the great
smcltcr furnishes employment for the
many. The building during last sum
mcr was extensive and there are umu
of another building boom in the near
future. When the Fifteenth street
bridge is built. this young olrshOot of
Great Falls will lave excellent cOmmun-
i~cations with the city and will doubtless
prosper accordingly. This communica-
ton will probably be established in the
near future. as bids will be received by
the commissioners on the 18th inst. The
houses are of a substantial nature and
there are several quite handsome build
ings.

THE PRIZE RING,
La Blanche Is Anxious to Meet KessIer
Once More.

Butte, June ,. -Advices have been re-
ccived from Salt Lake to the effect that
La Blanche, who is now s%ojourning there,
is anxious for another go with George
Kessler. 1t is stated that an agent of
Salt Lake sports will arrive here within
a few days to meet Kessler and if posi-
BILE arrange for a fight. Having once
bcsted the Marine" Kcsslcr is not averse
to another meeting, providing, of course
that proper inducements are held out.
La Blanche wants the fight to take place
at Salt Lake, at which town he has been
since his tiasco with young Mitchell at
San Francisco.
Next Sunday night the fight between
Jack Burns and Bob Sullivan will take
place at Gregson Springs, Not much in
| tcrcst is manifested in the affair. as it is
generally believed that it will be rather
tame and embarrassing.

ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
The would-be Robber Foiied In His Dast-
ardly Attempt.

The wouId-be Robber Foiled in His Dast-
ardly Attempt.
As Peter Mcdonald, head blacksmith
al the Boston e. Montana works. was
passing along the sidewalk in front of
the Arvon block about midnight Mon
day, a cowardly villain struck him,
knocking him down and attempted to
rifle his pockets. Mcdonald, who is a
powerful man, soon got the better of his
adversary and promptly turned him over
to the police. When taken to Jail he
gave the name of William Neimo. He
was examined before Judge Morehous
last night and bound over to the district
court.
Mcdonald, at the time of the at
tempted robbery, is said to have had sew
eral hundred dollars on his person, and
the would-be thief was undoubtedly
aware of the fact or he would not have
made the attack in such a public place.

TRUMBULL.

The many Trumbull friends of Rev G..
II. Smith of Belchertown were pleased to
learn of the good fortune that has be-
fallen him in being called to the Windsor
Avenue Congregational church in Hart
ford. The ways of Providence, though
not as our ways, are always best. Had
he accepted the invitation of the Trum-
bull church to become their pastor, the
enlarged field for usefulness and oppor-
nity for spiritual growth and personal
advancement now opened to him would
have been lost. While the church finds
itself very much in the position of the
young man who, having been Tilted by
one he thought his best girl and having
felt sadly disappointed and almost heart.

pluck and renewed courage, has pressed
his suit in another direction, been sue

good fish in the sea as ever was caught, ,
if not little better.

The selectmen have issued call for a
town meeting to be held on Wednesday,
March Is, to consider the resembling of
the vote passed some weeks ago, appro-
priating $500 for grading and macad-
amizing the turnpike from the Fairfield
line one mile westward; also to take into
consideration the grading and improving
of this road from the Fairfield line to the
Saugatuck river at the WestpOrt bridge
and to appropriate the necessary money
for the work and to do any other bust
ness that may be necessary to properly
carry out said object. This will be one
of the most important meetings yet held
and seems to harmonic all sections. The
previous vote made an appropriation for
only one mile Of road and that on the east
end Of the town. This created some feel
ing among those who thought the i'm
provements should begin at the village
and spread outward. The present move
seems to be in the right direction and, if
adopted, will be benefit to all and no
detrment to the plan adopted for the
previous Improvement. Every taxpayer
ought to come out and use his influence
and vote for the best interests of the
town. The town has appropriated, thus
far this year, $ll 900 for repairs and per
manent improvements on the roads and
it is important that these OUTLAWS be made
with economy and for the future inter
ests of the town. Those who cannot stay
long enough to have the citizens give a
fair explanation of their views, without
moving an adjournment, are invited to
stay away. Let the issue be fairly met
and decided in the interests of honest i'm
provcments.
