Miss Brown as a little side fancy wears a
small gold bangle, consisting of the seal of
California, on the fnger-nail of her right
hand. 1t is fastened to the end of the nail
by small ring running through hole in
the bangle, the nail being about an inch
long and nicely manicured. az put it on
my finger-nail when it was short and have

merely fancy of mine and enables me to
feel little different from other people. [

I?' Miss Brown when dressed III her
chosen bad-weather attire presents very
neat appearance. Her boots are laced in
front and reach to the knee. The bloomers
hang almsot as full as a skirt and the
upper portion of the body is clothed in a
ladies' walking jacket with the latest
pattern puff sleeves. A soft felt hat set
jauntily on a wealth of blonde hair, taste
fully done up behind, completes the pic
ture, and a graceful and refined carriage
adds to the ladys general appearance.

Why III. d. Luce Lost a Case in the
Justices Court.
A peculiar state of affairs in the books of
the w. R. Larzelere Commission Company
was brought to light IL Justice Cook s
court yesterday IN the suit OF H D. Luce
against NJ. Callaghan and wife. The COM
pany transferred claim against the de-
PENDANTS to Luce, who brought suit for
1886 30. The testimony brought out the
fact that three sets of books are kept by
the company. One of these showed that
the Callaghan account was closed on June
8, 1892, while another showed that the date
of closing was October 13 OF the same
year.

noon by the Federal Grand Jury, before
which body all the facts were placed
1t seems that Miss Grundell was a wit
ness to the signing of an agreement be-
tween Sullivan and his wife which had
been called into question recently in Judge
Hebbard's court in a suit she had brought
for the maintenance of herself and six
months old child To his wife's complaint
Sullivan filed an answer stating that on
the day of their marriage she had entered
into an agreement by which his wife prom
ised to never ask him for any support, and
shortly after he entered q counter suit
asking for the annulment of the marriage.
Sullivan claims that the child is not his.
AS to the agreement itself Mrs. Sullivan
has admitted that she made it, but she ex-
plains that she had not read it and did
not know what it was, Sullivan having
misrepresented the contents to her.
Miss GrundelPs part in the matter was
simply that she made an affidavit as to
what had transpired between Sullivan and
his wife before the agreement was signed.
This affidavit Sullivan says did not state
facts and he wanted Miss GrundalI to
make another one in Attorney Deuprey' s
office, but she refused. Then Sullivan
sent threatening letter to her, telling her
he would make it hot for her. He sent
her postal-card on January 6, also threat
ening her. The postal-card read:
JANUARY 6, 1896.
Miss Minnie GrundeU: Please keep your prom
ise and go to Mr.. Deuprey Office at 4O5
Kearny street. Immediately, and you will save
yourself great deal of trouble.

tell the truth.
That is all | expect.

man went in the other direction.

The Grand .InrY.

Foreman Russell of the grand jury
and County Attorney Dixon have been
busy all day. The jury is now fairly
at work. 1t is expected that its first
investigation will be an inquiry into
the cases of Mrs. Glenn and Joseph
Stark. both of whom are charged with
assault. The jury will probably present
partial report as soon as IL has COM
pleted its investigation of these cases.
Mrs. Glenn is now out on bonds.
AS Is always the case, there is great
interest manifested in the work of the
jury and its final report will be read
with eagerness. Judge Woody's charge,
which was published in full in the
Standard to-day, is considered to have
been an excellent one. II expressed the
sentiment OF the community that there
should be complete and thorough ex-
animation into the charges that have
been made. In no way can this COM
munity suffer greater injury than from
a withdrawing process In such a case
as this If Missoula obtains a reputa-
ton throughout the state as a place
where offenses go unpublished, there is
nothing which will injure the town
more permanently and more seriously.

Missoula. Feb. 1s.-Deputy Sheriffs
Richette and Corbett returned Sunday
night from the Big Blackfoot. having
in charge Mike Mcnamara, who is
thought by his friends to be insane and
for whose arrest warrant was issued
yesterday. as published in the STAN
dard When the officers reached Mr..
McNamara's house they found that he
had left there and was at neighbours.
They went on after him, his brother
accompanying them. The brother en-
tered the house first and, after some
preliminary talk, induced Mcnamara
to give up the gun that he carried.
The officers then entered and though
he made a little resistance, soon had
Mcnamara handcuffed and his hands
chained to a belt
McNamara's insanity yesterday
seemed to consist principally of the
hallucination that officers were in pur-
suit of him and he said that he would
kill them If they did. His mind is not
thought to be permanently deranged.
His present trouble seems to be the re-
suit of excessive drinking and il is
thought that brief term of confine-
ment will cure him. He is now in the
county Jail
Mr. Mcnamara was in every sense an
insane person yesterday. In his cell
all the afternoon he imagined that he
was in the timber experimenting the
loading of logs and gave directions
with as much force and energy as If
he had a gang of men with him. DR..
Spotswood has been treating him and
his condition is somewhat improved.

AN EXPLODED CHESTNUT

Missouri, Feb. 1S.-In the district
court this morning the hearing OF the
Achilles divorce case was continued
and occupied the attention of the court
for nearly the entire day. Husband and
wife charge each other with cruelty
and there is no doubt that, in their
case, marriage was a most decided
failure. Both plaintiff and defendant
testified to a long continuation of quar-
rels and the evidence presented reveal
ed a most unhappy state of affairs. AS
stated in the Standard to-day, the pres
ent contest in court is for the posses
sion of the infant child. The argu-
ments in the case were made by Nj.
l.. Crouch for the plaintiff and by L.
c. Marshall for the defendant Both
attorneys were very scathing in their
remarks. When the arguments had
been concluded. Judge Woody took the
case under advisement.
