~ GREAT FALLS, April 19.-News has

his son, M. L. Waid, three miles above
iantic. Deputy Corner Reynolds conduc-
ted an inquest over the remains and il

sufferer from rheumatism and, It is sup

About three weeks ago F. NJ. Berry OF
Butte arrived in Great Falls. He had
been the correspondent of the Butte
Miner from Helena during the legislative
session, and bore q letter of introduction
from the editor of that paper. He also
had personal cards bearing tho inscrip-
tion, Correspond ent Butte Miner" He
made himself good fellow and made
many acquaintances in the city. He was
of pleasing appearance and gentlemanly
address and spent money like q prince.
He stated that the Miner intended to
issue an edition devoted to Great Falls in
May, and spent considerable time in pro-
curing data for the edition. He was
once a resident of Missoula, and had there
become acquainted with Prof. Emmet
Race, now of Great Falls. He asked Race
to identify him at the Security bank, as
he wanted to draw on the Miner for $50.
Race accompanied him to the bank. and
the officials required Race to indorse the
draft, which he did. Berry then went to
the Great Falls correspondent of the
Miner, who identified him at the First
National bank, where he drew on the
Miner for $75, which was paid him. Ten
days later the drafts were returned pro-
tested. Meanwhile. Berry had gone to
Havre, where he told the same story
about his connection with the Miner.
Broadwater, Pepin & Co. cashed a draft
on the Miner for Berry for $50. Then
Berry left for Kalispel. Broadwater,
Pepin d Co. became suspicious at his sud-
den departure and telegraphed twice to
the Miner, but received no reply until a
third telegram was sent. Meanwhile,
Berry had left Kalispel and his where
abouts are unknown. A warrant was
issued for his arrest. on charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses, by a
justice at Havre, and officers are search
ing for him.
The attorneys for Harry Grove, accused
of numbering James Morgan March IL, to-
day objected to an information being filed
on the ground that the defendant has
never had preliminary examination on
the charge of murder and that important
witnesses are about to leave the state.
The county attorney offered to attend the
taking of dispositions of such witnesses
and the objection was overruled. The de-
fense moved to quash the information on
the ground that the defendant has had no
preliminary examination. The motion
is pending.
In the suit of the Townsite company vs..
the county commissioners and treasurer,

tions of the complaint.
