To make the work of Chief Guerin the

that is rather peculiar, anyway. He is

YORK STOCK REPORT
Digest OF Exchange News-Mining Stocks.
Metal Quotations-wool Prices and
Movements-Grain and Pro-
duce-Review OF Trade.

New York. July 5-Wall street to-day
offered one Of its most confusing markets
to the outside observer or inexperienced
s~peculator. Yet the opening burst Of ami
nation and strength, the subsequent re-
action and the final conflicting tendency
of individual stocks withheld their rs-
tional motive. At first view there was
every reason TO expect a strong and
well-sustained market throughout the day
on account of the glorious achievement
of the United States navy and the immi-
nence Of capitulation of the Spanish
forces In Santiago. There was a rush to
buy at the opening. and bears who had
the temerity to remain short of stocks
over the triple holiday scrambled to COW
er. London also bought quite eagerly.
Stocks which had recently been under
bear pressure. notably Peoples Gas and
Sugar and the internationals showed the
sharpest advances. But the fact was
equally obvious that quite a number of
stocks which have been rushed up from
the recent lethargy were sufferers from
profit-taking.
The chief sufferers were Brooklyn Tran
sit. Rock Island and Burlington. Sugar
also developed marked weakness before
the close. 1t is a measure of great conf
dence which has been felt in Admiral
odmDSoH dho HIS HttI lhdl III dCtu6l
demolition OF the Spanish squadron should
ave been met with selling of stocks as
an event that had been thoroughly dis
counted
1t is quite possible that the later weak
ness resulted in some degree from damp
ened enthusiasm caused by reports that
the projected bombardment and reduc-
ton of Santiago were to be postponed.
There was a significance in the fact that
the opening of the new fiscal year and the
usual large release of funds were not re-
fected in any marked degree for specu-
lation or investment in the stock mar
ket. This Is Indicative of the continued
doubt as TO the exact effect of the money
market which will result from the TAX
ing up of the government loan on July 4.
Bonds reflected a more steady demand
than stocks and prices were more gener-
ally firm. Total sales, 800. 900. Closing
quotations of government bonds were I'M
changed from Friday.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Little Interest Manifested Now That the
Water Question Is settled.


Great Falls, Jul, bit was evident this
evening at the me ting Of the city coun-
ell that there was Nttle of interest left.
now that the water question has been de-
cided. All of the aldermen were present
and the mayor was in the chair, but there
was little discussion and the proceedings
were speedily disposed Of.
A petition from A. A. johnson and 9TH
ers asking for an extension of the lateral
sewer through the alley in block 1870 was
referred TO the committee on public inn
provements. The matter of extending the
Sixth street sewer was also brought up
and Indefinitely postponed.
The special water committee reported
that the larger part of the preliminary ar
rangements between the city and the wa
ter company had been agreed upon and
thereupon an ordinance declaring II to be
the desire of the city to purchase the ex-
listing water plant was read the first and
second times and unanimously passed. The
ordinance is In the form of a legal notice
to the company and is only a compliance
with the statutes.
The council then adjourned, after pass
ing a number of claims against the city.

of Northern Montana.
Great Falls, July 5.-George w. Cor
son. a man who has been identified with
the growth n development of North
ern Montana, died at his home in Cho-
teau last week. He was born near
Hughesville, Pa. in 1926, n early in
life followed the general Westward
trend of emigration, locating at differ
ent places in Ohio and Indiana, and
finally coming to Choteau in 1886, where
his two sons. S. M. and i. S. Corson,
had preceded him.
When Great Falls was I'm its infancy,

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Means Complains of the Food at the
County jail.


Great Falls. July 5.-The board of
county commissioners met to-day in
regular session and considered various
matters. mostly in the form Of reports.
Among other matters. they considered
the matter OF appointing a registration
agent at Hardy. The appointee. George
Woods. Is said not TO be qualified as
he is not a resident freeholder. Other
wise the appointee is very acceptable
to the community.
Prof. O.. c. Morrison submitted a prop
osition to the board whereby he agreed
to furnish the maps OF the county for
the contract price OF $50.
An amusing occurrence was the read
ing of a letter from George Means. now
a prisoner in the county Jail. He
complained that the sheriff was not
putting mp the best possible grade OF
grub. The sheriff explained to the
board that he was somewhat puzzled;
hitherto IL had been the common COM
plant that he had been supplying the
prisoners with a quality and quantity
of grub which made a short term In the
jail a sort OF reward, n his was the
first time that a complaint OF this ma
ture had been made. While the pris-
oner has been an occupant OF the tail
10 times in the past two years, and
therefore ought to be thoroughly com
petent to judge OF the food supplied.
the preponderance OF evidence seems 10
be against him, vand the COMMISSIONS
turned down the letter with a laugh.

A FATAL CONCLUSION.
A Feud of Long stsndin & Results in Muir
der Mt Augusta.

ueT bt huEu>t8.
Great Falls, July 5.-Murders seem to
be getting of common occurrence in
Northern Montana Tonight the little
town of Augusta is all stirred up over the
fatal conclusion of a feud there which
has been of long standing. 1t is difficult
to obtain the story tonight. there are so
many conflicting reports and rumors
afloat in the town, and they seem irrecon-
cilable. The inquest will be held this
evening. however. and will probably de-
eide which is the true version. So far as
can be learned these facts are admitted:
William Mole and James Harmon have
been on bad terms for a long time. Ham
non had a horse in the livery stable at
Augusta and this morning at 1915. that
*. shortly after midnight, he went into
the stable to find how his horse was get
ting along. He passed through the stable
to the corral i'm the rear where he met
Mole. They had some words and then
Mole struck Harmon with a loaded quirt.
Harmon tried to get away but Mole kept
striking him. until Harmon finally drew a
revolver and fired three shots. 1t is not
known which of the shots took effect or
whether all Of them were not fatal. Han
non surrendered himself to Constable
thinner, who still has hin in charge.
