lynx or wildcat perched on his shout

name of Mr. Woods strange pet. He
has refuted that theory. however. by
partially tanning the savage little

night at 10 O'Clock a gang of 40 men

When this work was finished the
pipes were raised within the extent of

about 2:30 o'clock this morning. The

FRESH HORSE CHOPS

FRANK WILsEY ARRESTED
He Disposes OF Some "choIoe

Company and His Game Is

Great Falls. Dec. s.-Thursday after

living some distance from town. sold

cred Wilsey was paid $50 for the meat,
OUT some time after his departure a
closer examination of the newly ac-
quired purchase revealed the fact that
Wilsey had sold the company 1.544
pounds of horse flesh for beef. The
meat was at once placed in the hands
OF Sheriff Dwyer and Manager Brown
OF the meat company drove to Wilsey's
ranch Friday and charged the honest
farmer with the deception. At first
Wilsey Indignantly denied the charge

the choice cuts were secured from the
carcasses of several horses he had kill

known. During the summer and fall
months he sold large quantities of
meat to dealers and consumers at Belt
and Sand Coulee, and IL is generally
believed that he has gotten rid of a
good-sized herd of cayuses in this way.
The Great Falls Meat company re-
fused all overtures made by Wilsey
for settlement and will prosecute the
case vigorously in order to punish the
scoundrel and to protect the people of
this CITY from fraudulent pratices of
this character.
This is believed to be the first case
OF this kind exposed in Montana and Ii
is pretty certain IL will be the last
for some time to come in this section
or the state. 1t is fortunate for Wilsey
that his method of doing business was
unearthed in Great Falls. Had the
discovery been made at Belt or Sand
Coulee 1t is more than likely that he
would have been roughly handled by
the miners of those camps. Meantime
owners of range horses are becoming
interested as to the present where
abouts of their herds and 1t is likely
a large number of the animals will
turn up missing.

Great Falls. Dec. SIT Is learned
from Havre that Engineer Scott and
Fireman Austin of the Great Northern
road, met with a painful accident a
rev days ago. AS the east bound pas
senger train was approaching Dayton
and rounding sharp curve, Engineer
Scott saw a string of freight cars on
the main track. Thinking a collision
unavoidable he applied the air brakes,
and, with his fireman, jumped OF the
train. Instead of crashing into the
freight the passenger ran off on a side
track, where the switch was left open
Tor that purpose. as there was a break
down on the main line. Conductor By
water, feeling the sudden stop of the
train, started out to investigate and
found the engineer with his right leg
broken in two places. and the fireman
considerably cut and bruised. The in
Jured men were placed under medical
care soon as possible.
