an unusually popular season for the
sportsmen. The majority of the parties

lie sues to recover the package and 500
Tor alleged damages said to accrue from
the non-possession of the same. 1t is
evident now that Paul is not so anxious
to become divorced from his wife as he
is TO get possession of the coveted 81. 500.
A few days ago Paul's wife went before
Judge Hawkins and told of her hus-
bands continued mistreatment and
asked what she should do. The Judge
suggested that she consult an attorney
IN regard to suing for a divorce, but she
DID not seem very anxious to avail her
SELF OF the laws protection. She said
her husbands ill treatment was prompted
by his desire to get possession of some
money she had and not because of any
great marital misunderstanding. She
said he had even threatened her life in
his endeavor to coerce her to give it up.
On several occasions he threatened to
put an end to his W existence and
went so far as to cut the top of his head
with a knife.
. She asked the judge what she had
better do with the money and he advised
her to put it in a bank. She agreed to
this so his honor accompanied her to
the Great Falls National bank where
she made a special deposit of a package
done up in an oil skin sack. In whose
name she deposited it no one knows be-
sides Judge Hawkins, the chshier and
herself. She alone knows how
much the sack contains. The bank
simply holds the package in trust.
Now the question arises how can the
law compel the cashier to produce the
package IN court when it's not known in
whose name it was deposited. If the
case comes to a trial it is bound to be
interesting as there are many
sides to it. Both husband and wife are
Asiatic Turks and though they have been
this country several years they look
things from an oriental point of view.

CEUR D'ALENE MINES.
a Proposition to Start Up on u Sliding
Scale of Wages.

n Proposition to Start UP on II Sliding
Scale of Wages.
A new scale Of wages has been arranged
for the Cmur d'Alene country that may
lead within the next few weeks to the
opening Of several of the largo mines,
says the Spokane Chronicle. The
miners need work and the owners
can better afford to keep their mines
running even at a cost than to let them
lie idle, for a great item of expense in
starting up will be the pumping out of
those which fill up and the many re.
pairs. The plan proposed gives the men
S3.ll a day at the present price of silver
and lead and with the increase or de-
crease Of either metal tie price of wages
is to change in proportion. The owners
OF the Poorman make this offer and il
it is accepted by the union it is the COM
mon belief that nearly all the other large
mines will start on the same scale. Con
sidering the times this is a fair PROPOSE
ton for a short contract at least, and it
is to be hoped that every mine in the
Coeur d'Alene country will be started
within the ley two weeks.

A Plot to Loot the Bank of Fergus County
Nipped i'm the Bud.

a Plotto Loot the Bank of Fergus County
Nipped in the Bud.
Lewistown came very near having a
sensation in the nature of an attempt to
rob the Bank Of Fergus County on July
10, and but for a horse burning his foot
on a rope would probably have been
treated to a shooting ARRAY of more than
ordinary magnitude, says the Fergus
County Argus. The case has been
known to a few parties for some weeks,
but the ends OF justice prohibited the
publication until the preliminary hear
ing OF the leader, Jesse Davis. on Fri
day last in Justice Gudgel's court. The
conspirators as far as known were Jesse
Davis, George Maddox, a Mexican known
as Mexican joe and a man named
Fraser. The latter two are recently
from Kansas and Indian Territory and
one, if not both, is thought to have been
implicated in the Cotfeyville raid last
spring, two characters of their descrip-
ton having escaped from the party.
The scheme was frustrated through
the agency of Robert Irwin, he giving the
outlines of the plot to Robert Leavens
of Ubet, and the latter Immediately de-
failing them to Cashier Moe. Irwin was
approached by Maddox about July s
with a proposition to join the
gang and share the proceeds,
which were placed at not less
than $4,000. At various times Mad.
doX unfolded the plans and sought to
make Irwin an indirect accomplice.
Davis, Fraser, the Mexican and Maddox
were to ride into tow disguised. make
the haul regardless of cost and flee. The
three first named intended to ride to
Wyoming while Maddox was to
remain in this vicinity and use Irwin to
prove an alibi if. perchance, he had been
recognized. Davis held conversations
with Maddox at Living Springs which
were overheard by Irwin and also told
Irwin that he would meet him soon and
make a proposition whereby big money
could be made. Horses were being
bought and trained and buckskin sacks
made for the carrying Of the proceeds.
Davis was arrested at Cbet and the
next day. before Sheriff Deaton reached
them, Maddox. the Mexican, and Fraser
