Two Very Valuable Finds of Stone Near

WEBSTER, Ia, Dec. 27.-B. B. Bliss,
the Iowa electrician, is about the hap
plest man in the state. Santa Claus
had left a present in his stocking that
falls to the lot of but few men. He
owns a tract of land at Iowa Falls on
which ''hone" stone had been discov.

developed the fact that beneath the
hone stone there is a grade of
marble second to none in the
United States. It admits of a brill.
liant polish, and. the quarry is worth
a big fortune for an option on the land.
MI. shoesmith, the promoter, who was
instrumental in getting for Webster

it canning factory, has taken the mat.
ter up with MI. Bliss and a stock com.

Death of Mrs. Bentley

Mrs. w. A. Bentley, wife of Dr.. w. A.
Bentley, we'll and widely known through
out the capital city, died at 9 o'clock
Sunday morning. Mrs. Bentley has
undergone a lingering illness, the trou-
bic which resulted in her death having
been of several months duration. Some
weeks ago, she went to st. Paul for medi-
cal treatment, which proved unavailing,
and since her return, no hopes for her
recovery have been entertained.
Emily White Bentley, was born in
Westtield, Mass, and was a daughter of
James Monroe Viii 9, a lineal descen-
dant OF Peregrine White, who was born
on board the Mayhower, and was a
cousin of Geo. E. White, the organizer
and trainer of the original Jubilee
singers at Fisk's university at Nashville,
Tenn. She has two sisters, a brother
and n daughter residing at Los
Angeles, Gel.
At the time of her death, Mrs. Bentley
was So years of age, and had just passed
her thirty-eighth marriage anniversary
She has resided in Bismarck seventeen
years, and in that time had become we'll
known to everyone in the city. A kind
mother, a loving wife, and a genial and
w~arm-heated friend, she was universally
loved and respected. In all charitable
work, and in all efforts looking to the
succor of the poor and needy, she was q
quiet and yet faithful worker. Her family
was large, and in her home life she was
the loving counselor and the ideal house.
wife. Her death is learned with sadness
and sorrow by all.
The funeral services will occur at the
Presbyterian church at IL o'clock tomor.
row morning, and the remains will be
taken to the family lot in the Oaklawn

Gets Justice At Last.

- T.. '. ~" .- E
Residents of Bismarck will recall the
robbery Of Northern Pacific train No. 2,
out in Montana, last August a year. The
matter created considerable interest at
the time, and it will be further interest
ing to note that Charles Jones, the last
survivor of the gang of robbers, has been
sentenced to ten years in the peniten.
tiary by United States District Judge
Knowles, who expressed regret that he
could not give the bandit more. The
sentence ends the most famous man hunt
in Montana since the days of the vigil
lants. Jones and three other men held
up the train at Grey Cliff, in August,
1893. The other three were killed in the
chase for their capture, and Jones was
once sentenced to be hanged, but Sc
cured q new trial. The same month
Jones, Jack Chapman, Jack White and
Jim, a one-armed man, planned to rob
the Big Timber bank. Jim was drowned
while crossing the Yellowstone. This
caused delay and the hank robbFry was
suspended. Sam Shermer joined the
other three and they robbed the North
ern Pacific express at Grey Cliff. They
went through the train, making all the
passengers shell out, indulging in merry
badinage with their victims. Not a great
deal Of booty was secured. The robbers
took to the hills, finally reaching the
Blackfoot reservation, where they were
overtaken by Deputy United States
Marshal Sam jackson of Livingston,
who had trailed them. He summoned a
posse of Indians, and they were joined
by Henry Schubert, a restaurateur.
Jimmie Moots, a worthless but not Grim
inal fellow, had joined the bandits.
There was a furious fight at the cabin,
and Schubert was killed. The posse was
driven off and the robbers escaped. More
white men were enlisted in the chase,
and the next night Shermer, Chapman
and Moots were overtaken and Chapman
killed, Shermer mortally wounded and
Moots captured. Jones, nearly dead from
exhaustion by his race for life through
snow, over mountains and in the woods,
surrendered next day.
