capped is the same George Miller who
was sent from Spokane county about
four years ago, under sentence Of 20
years for manslaushter. Since Miller's
ESCAPE the stamement has been pub

In a measure In Miiler's favor.
Schrader, whom Miller killed, had
broken up his family and secured Mil
lers incarceration in the California
state prison on a trumped-up charge.
Miller and Schrader were friends in
Germany. Schradcr eloped with Mil.
lcr's wife and the pair came to America.
Miller followed them to San Francisco.
where he was arrested on trumped-u up
charge OF larceny, his wife's paramour
making the complaint. Miller was sent
to San Quentin, but after serving a
portion of his term be was released.

started for this neichborhood from San
Francisco, tramping most OF the way.
when they arrived here they were run
out OF some box cars with several other
uamps. Miller and Schrader then
went down TO the river bank and
oamped. The next afternoon two bows
who were fishing on the opposite side
OF the river saw one man beat anothcr's
brains out with 4 rock and throw the
body into the river.
The boys hurried 10 town aud gave

der's body In the water. Miller was
arrested soon afterward at a dago
camp still farther down the river. lie

as he was lame, and the boys saw him
limp as he went away. II was gener-
ally believed that Miller accompanied
Sehrader on the long tramp for the
purpose OF killing him.
While confined In the county iail
Miller escaped with 81 other prisoners,
but was captured at Chewelah. He sp-
pears to have gone for good this time.
Miller is said to have some property in

gan an investig alton, when 1t was found
that some one had saturated the walls
of the cellar with coal oil and applied a
match. Through the assistance of neigh

difficulty. Suspicion was at once direct
ed to Stahl on account of the recent
trouble he had with his wife, who is the
daus h,er of Mrs. Devine, which result

went to the house and abused Mrs. De-
wise in a shameful manner, and as a
result Mrs. Devine caused his arrest

retaliation Stahl started the fire with
the intent to cause her TO be burned. IS
her sleeping room was known to him to
be located directly over the cellar. He

hotel of Conconully. The entire popu-

brigade and fought the fire with energy.
and ii was only by hard work that the
hotel and other buildings were saved.
Moss slept on a cot in frame addi-

and had retired when the fire broke
out. Friends arrived on the scene
while the front part of the building was
ablsze and knocked loudly on the door
Of his sleeping room. There was no
response. He has evidently gone out"
some one said, aud SO the effort to
awaken him was abandoned and at,en-
tlon was diverted to saving other build
ings
The FIRE spread over the burning
building rapidly and was soon communi-
Gated to the shed room. While that
was all abisze the bystanders were hor-
ri6ed at seeing through the flames the
burning body of the saloonkeeper /, ing
on It's cot.
As quickly as possible the fire was
beaten down and the body rescued, half
charred, from the ruins. Sheriff NJ. A
Rush held an autopsy Wednesday, DR..

the following verdict of the coroner's
jury;
We, the jury, find that the deceased
was named John Moss. and that he came

Prices.
GREAT FALLS, Sept. l7.-Montana cat
tie are now going forward rapidly and
the prices realized are for the most part
satisfactory, considering the low figures
that are being realized for range pro-
ducts. All the large north Montana
outfits are receiving from $500 to LOO
for good steers. The shipments are
larger ali along the line of the Great
Northern than were expected early In
the season. partly on accosnt of desire
to realize cash. All In all, the cattle
kings will 60 into winter quarters feel
ing pretty we'll.
As much cannot be said for the flock
masters. They have been playing in
hard luck this season. First wool sold
SO low that they were not able with the
proceeds TO pay current expenses and
square up with the banks. The natural
thing TO do was TO ship mutton sheep as
soon as possible, and, that, too, when
mutton was bringing almost nothing in
Chicago. Al one time not long ago there
were In the vicinity Of Fort Benton
something like 81 900 or 10000 sheep
awaiting shipment when there were
thousands more in Chicago eating their
heads OF" and sales were being made
at .. 90 and less per head. The most of
the large and oid-time sheep-owners,
however, will hang on and hope for bet
ter things despite the threat of q free
trade price for wool.

TACOMA, Sept, l7.-one of the earli.
est settlers of ST. Paul, Mimi, was Ed
mund Rice, who, after living there
more than 40 years, died two or three
years ago, full of honor and full of
glory. He served several terms as
mayor OF that city. aud during the last
two years of Cieveland's first ad-
ministration he was 4 member of the
lower house of congress from the ST.
Paul Indianapolis district. He left
surviving him Eve sons, one of whom is
j lieutenant in the United States army +:
the other four, all residents in the
state of Washington. have each been
appointed to good office since the 4th
of March last, as follows;
Edmund Rice, Olympia, democratic
me Der copital commission, appointed
by Governor John McGraw.
Stuar, Rice, Tacoma, receiver of the
Washington National bank of Tacoma,
appointed by Comptroller of the Cur
rency Eckles.
William A. Rice, Everett, receiver of
the Puget Sound National bank of Ev.
erett, appointed by Comptroller of the
currency tckles.
Philip Rice, Tacoma, deputy auditor
Pierce county. appointed by County
Auditor Ketner.
The uncle of these gentlemen was
Senator Rice of Minnesota, one of the
two first United States senators from
that state, and the one who drew the
long term for 4 seat of that body. The
Rice brothers, as they are commonly
called in this city, are universally re-
spected and esteemed as honorable and
trustworthy men, Stuart Rice having
been once mayor of this city. But the
appointment of four members of one
family to office In the state within six
months seems In strange contrast with
the large number of individual members
from different families who are seeking
