NOT A TRAGEDY.
The Coat slit In the Back and the Dog
No Part of a Sensation.

Great Falls, Dec. 1S.-There occurred
the other evening what at first sight
looked very much like the opening to a
tale of tragedy. One of the members
of the police force, while making his
rounds, was approached late at night
by a man in one of the beer halls. Across
the mans arm hung a big canvas-cov-
cred coat. He walked up to the officer
and said: Here, take this. You might
as we'll have it as anyone" and he
handed him the coat. The officer did
not recognize the giver, but thinking
that very likely he had met him some
where and, like many other faces his
had left no trace in memeroy, thanked
the man and took the coat. AS il was
very cold night he Immediately put it
on and continued making his rounds.
Later, about o'clock in the morning, q
collie, such as is commonly employed
by sheepherders, came up TO him, smeJt
of the coat, and suddenly became very
friendly. The dog followed him and
apparently insisted on accompanying
him on his beat. When the officer re-
ported at the station in the morning at
z o'clock and was ready to turn in his
report to the relief and go home, the
collie was still with him and all the at
tentlonS of the other officers did not
cause him to forswear his allegiance. He
even followed the officer home. There
the officer in making an examination of
liiS new -lOuIu discovered III
the back of the coat a rent, evidently
made by a knife thrust. and located
just between the shoulders. In the
pockets he found a pair of nearly new
mittens and a range riders hat having
on it stains that looked decidedly like
blood stains. Ais suspicious We're
aroused and he reported the matter az
the office. Chief Guerin and his assist
ants spent two or three days in investi-
eating the clue The affair was known
to the Standard reporter and he kept
quiet, believing that the outcome would
no doubt prove to be one of the most
thrilling stories which ever came out of
Northern Montana. Unfortunately for
the lovers of sensation, it developed,
after much work and search, that the
gfVer was a Well-known and reputable
sheepman and the cut was the result
of an accident anything but thrilling
The stains were also accounted for in
the same manner.

oLD-TIME WINTERS.
DAYS When Northern Montana Has Kept
Right Up with klondyke.

| Great Falls, Dec. 1S.-The cold spell
| of weather which has visited northern
Montana this month calls to the mind
of the old timer winters that have
passed. The winter of 1866 and 1867 was
particularly hard one and many of
the bunalo whose heads whiten the
plains of northern Montana gave up
the ghost to its billiards and snow.
George Croft. now of Belt. Henry Bost-
wick, afterwards killed in the Big Hole
| battle, and about a dozen others were
'Wolfing near old Fort Belknap that
| winter and We're caught by the big
storm which commenced Feb. rs, and
held in camp on Beaver creek SIS days.
During that time the snow fell to q
depth of six feet and all their horses
and cattle We're starved to death, and
mad 1t not been for buffalo meat straight
the men of the party would have
shared like fate. On the 9Th of April
Croft and Bostwick footed over the
snow 45 miles TO the coal banks on the
Missouri and sent back help to their
comrades in camp. That winter the ice
did not break up in the Missouri river
at Fort Benton till April IL.
Another winter which will long be
remembered in the Northwest was that
of 1S71-'12. Although it did not remain
so. long in the lap of spring, winter
commenced in early November and re-
manned until the last days of February
~
large per cent of the game and stock
of the country had been starved to
death.
J. j. Healy, of Klondyke fame, and
party of nine traders, including George
Croft, Bob Mills, Joe Kipp and jim
Brown, started for the north country
from the Marias. loaded with whisky,
the 1st of January.
The weather continued to grow worse
until they had reached point six miles
beyond Rocky Springs, where they were
forced to camp AZ days in a ''norther,"
which lasted almost the entire time and
froze every horse which remained with
the outfit solid Croft had a span of
mules which managed to pull through
as they had plenty of oats. but the
horses could not stand the cold. During
the AZ days the party laid in camp they
had nothing but buffalo chips to burn
and only tents for shelter, yet they all
managed to live through and enjoy
good health afterward-although it is
limited by several surviving members of
the party that the whisky did not freeze
up, nor did it gain in quantity during
the ordeal.
1t was such winters and such ex-
periences that sent Johnny Healy to
Alaska without fear of hardship greater
than he had known and gave him a
chance to grasp fortune as general man
ager and boomer-in-chief of the Klon-
dyke-Alaska Transportation company.

made remarkably good showing. 80
cents OF the dollar being paid TO date
and the payment of the remaining Is
per cent is but a matter of a few
months. This is a remarkable showing
but even more remarkable has been
the action of the Conrads, who per-
sonally have sent circulars to every
depositor of the bank and bought every
dollar of deposited money offered at
full value. and in not a single instance
making l cent discount. Had they
discounted deposits offered them 100000
is light estimate of the amount they
could have saved, but their idea of
business honor was to pay to every
man exactly what was due him, and
this they did. not because they We're
compelled to, but because the people
who had money in the Northwestern
We're patrons of long years standing,
to whom the firm name meant honesty.
The action of the Conrads is one which
is so remarkable in banking circles
of the present day that it merits spe-
cial mention. and Montana has every
reason to be proud of such sturdy
honesty and business integrity among
her pioneer founders.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian ube. When this tube is infame :
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearin.
and when il is entirely closed Deafness is the
result and unless the Inflammation can be taken
ont and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh. VIII leh is
nothing but an infiamed condit on of the mucous
aces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for anv
case of Deafness (caused by eatarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. send for cir

THE CONRAD BROTHERS.
How They DO Business on Business Prir
ciDIes,

cipIes.
For 30 years the name of Conrad
Brothers has been a household word
throughout northern Montana, and a
word that has been as good as a bond
at all times. Thirty years ago w. CT.
and G. r. Conrad came to Fort Benton,
the head of river navigation for Mon
tana, and entered the employ of the
u. G.. Baker & Brother mercantile
house of that city. The Conrad brothers
did not bring any surplus cash with
them, but they did bring first-class
business ability. and in a few years
were able to purchase the interests of
John A. Baker in the business. and the
firm name was changed to |. T. Baker
& Goa name which the energetic
young men soon made a power in Mon
tana business circles. A few years lat
er the interests of j. T. Baker were
purchased and the name of Conrad
Brothers was placed at the helm of a
business whose ramifications included
merchandise, banking, stockgrowing,
mining, steamboating and government
contracting. Later the firm retired
from merchandising and their attention
WAS devoted to building, stock raising
and mining. The Conrad National
bank of Kalispell is one of the solid
institutions of Montana, and is under
the direct management of G. f. Con-
rad. The way the Conrads do business
WAS shown in the affairs of the North
western bank of Great falls in a strik-
ing manner. The Northwestern bank
was organized by w G. & c. +, Conrad
seven years ago. and was one of the
strongest financial institutions of the
Northwest during their management of
its affairs. a year ago the present
month the Conrads sold their interests
lin the Northwestern, which was under
the direct management of w. G.. Con-
rad at premium, and Mr.. Conrad
n 10 int Fr.s,
much-needed rest. The story that fol-
lows is well known; Cashier Hatcher
had purchased the interests OF the Con-
RAIDS with the money of the bank, pre-
sumably for some parties who are le-
gally yet unknown. and within two
months the bank was closed by order
of the directors. and the institution
which had been builded with such care
was a wreck-with $3.50 900 of denasi-
Hatcher is now serving a five-year
sentence in the penitentiary for his
share in the steal.
The Conrads had sold in good faith
and We're in no way responsible but
