never enjoyed q more beautiful day
than this has been. Until this evening
the skies were clear and the air as
balmy as in springtime. Tonight
heavy gray clouds are piling up ana
there is a forecast of snow in the
breeze that comes down from Lou Lou
peak. But the day is well nigh over,
and II has been a day of happiness all
over the city. If 10y is the best OF
wine" there was wine sauce with every
dinner in Missoula to-day, and there
has been some very emphatic giving OF
thanks going on ever since early morn
ing.
The Congregational church in South
.tMissoula was filled to its utmost ca
lpacity this morning at the UNION
thanksgiving service. Rev. j. ]. Meal
lister of the Methodist Episcopal
church, preached the sermon which was
appropriate and eloquent. After this
service was ended, there was no further
formalfty to be observed and Missoula
people observed the day as best suited
their Individual tastes.
! Most of che fireboys took nap this
afternoon. Their ball last evening was
an unprecedented success and the gen.
era1 verdict today has been that II was
1.-THE best ball ever given in Missoula
1t was nearly daylight when the weary
fingers of the musicians ceased to pick
the strings of mandolin, harp, banjo
and guitar, and the last of the dancers
left the hail. But they had all enjoyed
themselves. -
OF course there has been turkey on
every table to-day; that is. theoretical
ly. 1t is rumored ON the quiet that
some Of Missoula's citizens ate crow in
stead of turkey, but then, what II they
did?i Crow isn't bad If you can't get
anything else.
All banks and public offices have been
closed all day and the stores were
open only for short time this morn
ing. The weather has been too warm
for skating but the excellent condition
of the roads has attracted many people
into the country for drives. 1t has been
a jolly day all around.

A WILD CAT TALE.
Water and Frosted Rails Trap the Animal

Water and Frosted Rails Trap the Animal
and Death toiows.
Missoula. Nov. 2s.-What is by long
odds the best hunting story of the sea-
son comes from st. Regis and the sec
ton foreman, Nels Thompson, who
looks after the Snake track at that
place is the hero. 1t Is probably the
first case of dts kind on record and es-
tablishes an interesting precedent In
the killing OF wild cats. These var
mints have heretofore been considered
AT victims for any means of exter-
mination. however unsportsmanlike 1t
might he. They have been shot,
traIsped, poisoned and drowned, but
Nels Thompson had introduced new
method Of doing away with the cats
whose only drawback is the fact that
II can never be generally introduced,
as the conditions under which II Is
operative do not exist in every locality
where wild cats are found. To sue
cessfully carry out the Thompson
method. It is necessary to have a cold
day. a deep stream and railroad
track running close by II.
Last Thursday morning as Thompson
and his gang of sturdy Scandinavians
were pumping their handcar along the
track on the way to their work, which
that day was along the clay bluffs
=
startled bv the angry snarling OF
wild cat ahead of them. They slowed
up the car as they rounded the bun
and a strange sight greeted their eyes.
The morning was bitter cold and a
fringe of Ice bordered the banks of the
st. Regis river, which rushed along
Just below the track. Broken ice and
a wet trail up the bank showed that
the cat had just swan through the
ICY stream and explained his present
predicament. For he certainly was in
the rrayest predicament in which ever
wild cat found himself. He was fas-
tened firmly to one of the steel rails
by one fore foot
The supposition is that the cat had
come through the river and leaped up
the track embankment. His last jump
brought one of his wet forefeet upon
the rail and, according to the familiar
principle of physics, 1t froze to the
steel. There he was. held as fast as II
in the laws of a trap. The ground
showed that he had struggled to free
himself but his efforts had been In
vain.
AS the handcar approached. the cat
swung around to face the intruders
and, in doing so, another foot struck
the rail and was held firmly. "A few
more struggles, a strong brace to free
the captive feet and the two free pedal
extremities touched the rail- Snarling
and with flashing eyes the captive
| creature watched the section men
alight from the handcar but he was
incapable of resistance. A blow from
crowfbar cracked his skull and the VIC
tim of cold water was dead. 1t re-
/ ouired a strong pull to detaoh the froz-
en- feet from the rail and when they
| did come, patches of skin still adhered

THE INOU EST.
Nothing New Developed in the Case of
Mary Stewart.

Missoula, Nov. 2s.-Judge Ross, as act
ing coroner. held an inquest this morning
over, the remains of unfortunate Mary
Stewart. No new facts were developed
regarding her death, the stories of the
Witnesses confirming the report of the
suicide as printed In the Standard this
morning. Mrs. Stewart came to her death
from the results of strychnine. self ad-
rhinistered, and the jury found verdict
, to this effect. Nothing of a sensational
nature was developed, aside from the
finding of II grains of strychnine wrap
ped in a paper and concealed beneath the
skirt OF the dead woman.
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral of Mrs. Stewart and
nothing will be done until replies are re-
ceived to kilograms which have been
sent to her friends. The residue of her
husbands estate, after debts are paid
will probably amount to about $500.
This will go to her child who is in Hope.
