Throughout the following day the storm
continued with increased severity, and

ment and costs amounted TO SOL. 39T, but
the whole property of the company, in
GLIDING stock, warehouses, magazines,
horses and wagons and other personal
property brought only 500. $50, and was
purchased by Attorney +. L. Corbett
for the Clark Bros. I here is therefore

vor of the Clarks. The large stock Of
hardware on Main street was sold first
and was bid in for $1,000. The big
ware house with its contents. located
on the Northern Pacific track, near
South Butte, was next offered and
brought $4,000. Mr.. Corbett was the
only bidder. The powder in the maya
zine, south of the city. was sold to Sam
Terrence for $3.50. 1t has been under

figuring on how they are going to real

plan by which they can at least cause
the officers of the defunct company
more trouble. The capital stock of the

625 in stock on hand with a par value
of 81 per share. 1t is now proposed to
cite the companys officers into court
to show what has become of all the
capital. and It is confidently claimed
they can be held individually liable at
least to the extent of the unpaid stock
amount to $95,625. 1t is estimated by
persons familiar with that class OF
property that the stock sold yesterday
for $4,000 was worth at the lowest es-
innate $685.
The sheriff yesterday also sold a lot
of property belonging to william Lo-
REM to satisfy a judgment for $6,517 go

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Billings, Mont, Jan. 27.-Two cases
of smallpox were reported this morn
ing from Coulson, a deserted village,
about a mile and a half east of this
city, Benjamin Ferris and a boy
named Layey having a mild form of
varioloid. The county commissioners
at once established a strict quarantine
and appointed DR.. B. b. Kelly to take
charge of the cases. The disease is sup
posed to have originated in the Cree
camp, across the river from Coulson.
although on investigation by two ply
sicians, two weeks ago, they found no
evidence of the disease. 1t is now
thought the Crees concealed the pa
tients. The mayor has ordered the
marshal to keep all Indians out of the
city, and has telegraphed the Crow
agent to compel his people to keep
away from the Crees. The authorities
are determined TO keep the dread dis
ease from spreading If vigilance can
effect Anything.

Eckels on Banks.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The house COM
mittee on banking and currency to-day
listened to Comptroller Eckels' views
on an international bank plan to or
ganize a bank for dealings with South
and Central America. The comptroller
held that banking facilities were as
necessary as means of transportation
for promoting commerce with other
American nations, but criticised the de-
tails of the measure. Chairman Walker
appointed Brosius of Pennsylvania,
Van Voorhees, of New York, Spalding
of Michigan, Cobb of Missouri and Cox
of Tennessee a subcommittee to confer
with the comptroller and attorney gen.
eral and perfect a bill.
