had q strange hunt Wednesday night

were equally sure that it was the carcas
Of !Eome animal. After searching

Cdemocrats), Reed and Payne (republi-
cansl-S.
Against the bill-McM lin. Whiting.
Bryan, Wheeler (democrats) and Hopkins
(republican)-5.
Bynum did not vote. The provisions
against the redemption of national bank
notes by the treasury, which Secretary
Carlisle requested yesterday and which
the Subcommittee recommended, was
passed over by general consent, as it was
thought best not to cumber the resolution
with too many PROPOSE ions. Bryan's reso-
luton for the payment of all government
obligations in the coin most convenient
was voted down, as was Cockran's propo-
sition for more comprehensive authority
10 the secretary, but the votes were not
recorded.
Cochran said he would vote to repeal
the resolution but would reserve his right
TO offer an amendment.
Reed said the plan was not of his maxi
ing nor choosing, but under the circum-
stances he would vote for it as a scheme
which might furnish some relief for the
treasury.

GREAT FALLS GOSSIP.
The Body of Corcorsn Will he Sent to
His Friends.

Ills Friends.
GREAT FALLS. Feb. 13.-Last night
about midnight Officer Hamilton caught
j. w. Slime in the act of stealing coal
from q loaded coal car near the freight
depot and arrested him. He was ar
raigned before Police Magistrate Hawk
ins this morning and fined SO and costs.
The police have received numerous COM
plants of late from the different coal
agents who claim to have been robbed of
coal, and during the remainder of the
winter they will keep sharp lookout for
the thieves. The county authorities are
in a position to furnish coal to poor peo-
pie whenever the case is meritorious
The remains of John F. Corcoran. the
switchman who was killed Monday night,
were shipped to-day to Lester Prairie,
Mimi, where the dead mans sister and
mother live. The railroad officials did
considerable telegraphing in order to To-
cate the relatives of the deceased. II was
underst God that the latter were in Brain
erd, MIMI, but numerous inquiries sent
there received no reply. From papers
found in Corcoran's trunk their true resi-
dence was obtained. Among his effects
were found deeds to three pieces of prop
erty in Minnesota, which would indIca
that he was possessed of some means.
The coroner's jury found that he came to
his death from an accident while in the
discharge of his duties.
This has been the coolest day of the
winner. At o'clock this morning the
mercury registered - below zero at the
g government thermometer. Numerous
theruomC. ers around town recorded tho
cold anywhere from - 10 ;s3 below. There
has been little or no wind. Tne indIc,-
tons tonight are that tomorrow will have
chilly weather IN store FOR this section.
