w. K. Hornblower, the new Supreme Court
Justice, is little man physically; that is, he
GENES only about up to the shoulder of an ordi-
nary man. To make up for it, however, he has
most extraordinary nose. 1t is very long and
very thick and comes down almost to the end
OF his upper lip. Mr. Hornblower looks more
like clergyman than like a lawyer.

in an ore bin at an early hour Sunday
morning. The deceased had only been
working at the smelter two days.
The men engaged in wheeling the con.
centrates from the bin to the roasters
were surprised to observe the two legs of
a man come out of the hole from which
the concentrates were being taken, and
giving the alarm, several Of the laborers
rushed to the hole of the bin, but as
the body was tightly wedged with the
ore the gate of the bin had to be
pulled open, when tho body, with
everal tons OF concentrates, came out
on to the floor. The body was buried
about three feet under the concentrates
and all signs of life had fled when the
body was extricated.
Usually the concentrates flow freely
through the chute and no one enters the
BIN, but when the bin gets nearly empty
a man with a lantern enters the bin and
shovels the concentrates through the
hole. About three o'clock Sunday morn
Ing Barrow was told to enter the bin and

his companion not to go Il neal the hole

ON Thursday We. Wood, VINO lives

home. When he arrived in the vicinity
of where he had noticed the COW and
calf in the morning. he found the COW
standing by the road side believing over
something. He alighted from his wagon
and upon examination found the entralls
of what he concluded was the calf he
had noticed with the cow ia the morn
ing. He at once 5urnised that some
thing was wrong and upon further eX-

up in Mr.. ByersGorf's meat market on

the stealing of the calf, that he had pur-
chased the carcass from Andy Clews

part of the transaction said that he had
brought the carcass to the city from

Charged with Embezziemcnt.
There arrived in Great Falls from Kan
sas City, Mo, on Wednesdays express
from the west an officer with a requisi
ton from the governor of Missouri for
the arrest OF a mar charged with embez-
element. The officer located his catch
on Thursday morning and made known
to the accused the object of his sudden
call. After listening to the reading of
the contents of the Missouri document
the embezzler requested the officer to
accompany him to the Office of one of
Great Falls leading attorneys for legal
advice. The lawyer WAS in his Office and
the accused stated his case to him, and
as an offset to his statement the Missouri
official produced his rcquisition docu-
ment bearing the great red seal Of the
state of Missouri and the signature of
the governor of the state. After a care

the same time told the accused that he
could not be held by the officer until the

Missouri official and, under the advice of
the lawyer, left the office to hunt up
Sheriff Hamilton to have the man ar
rested on suspicion and held in custody
until he could 60 to Helena and get the

too late-the bird had tapped his wings

was discovered.
