ONLY SEVENTY-TwO MEN.
That is the Number at Work on the
Post Office building

The seventh week of The Stars tab
cn the post office building began today with
a magnificent opportunity for the demon
stration of a good intention to finish the
building within the terms of the existing
contracts. The skies were such as only
come to those in great good luck. The ma
terials for the work were at hand and the
gates were becieged by workmen eager for
a chance to labor. But only seventy-two
men were started to work on the building,
a little more than one-sixth Of the force
daily employed on the new library building
Meanwhile the days and weeks go by and
the second story of the post Office Is just
beginning to show itself. Frost will soon
put an en1 to outdoor work, and then the
contractors will doubtless be happy, for
there will be another excuse for delay.

between the sugar growers of the coun-
try and the United States government
growing out of the repeal of the act grant

first stage in its progress to definite
legal settlement today

The Chino Valley Beet Sugar Company
of New Jersey sues for si3 1872, the More

legation that the United States by act of
congress. granting a bounty of y cent
pound upon all sugars grown in the United
states and territories. entered into legal
contract with compliments. as well as
all other sugar growers. and led them, by
its terms, to undertake the culture of

that the mists rising from the mountain

that the clouds or masses of mist often

mountain in ravines or depressions be-

HlRSCHFeLD Is W. AK MINDED.
Reasons Given by the Helena Banker fol
Marrying Della Hogan.

Fargo, N. d., Nov. 23-Chief of Po-
lice Barnes and several of his men kept
guard at the hotel until all danger of
trouble had passed last evening. A
crowd of angry citizens hung about the
place until n late hour, murmuring
threats against Anderson, the witness
who gave revolving testimony in the
Hirschfeld case yesterday. Today
Judge Mcconnell issued an order for
his protection and gave warning that
anyone doing him violence would be
given the full penalty of the law. An
derson is still in hiding.
The rumor that Aaron Hirschfeld
would be put on the stand to testify in
his own behalf drew II great crowd to-
day. Hirschfeld was kept on the stand
all day He testified to having been
overworked as cashier at Helena dur
ing and since the panic of 1898, and
could not concentrate his thoughts upon
any subject. He told of defendants
visiting him at the bank, having a
check cashed and asking him to OBJ
tain a situation for her, and said she
next called at his room over the bank
Sunday and asked about the situation.
She stayed about an hour, and at that
time he became criminally intimate
with her. She frequently visited him
after that, too. He paid her from 81 ,00C
to $1,000 during six months.
She charged her father with being the
father of her unborn babe, and made
threats of what her brothers would do
and one night two men jumped out of an
alley on a side street and told him they
would kill him unless he married the girl
He agreed to do so, and afterwards
fulfilled his promise. They made al
agreement of settlement at that time
| but he lost the pocket book containing

| said the reason that he had registered

| that his mind was too weak to resist
| when she requested 1t.
| Hrschfeld during his testimony was
| nervous and perspired freely. During
| the entire day, Miss Hogan scarcely
| moved her eyes from his face and the
