ALLISON STILL ALIVE
Sends His Love and a $40 Money
Order.
SAYS SOME ONE OOPED HIM
Wa In q Trance for Three Days al
Hslsna Before He Knew What Had
Happened Him-Promises to
Square Up His Debts.

Great Falls, Dec. 6.-w. II. Allison
has been found. He writes to Judge
Burieigh under date Of Dec. 4 from
Spokane hat he is still alive. He
claims that two weeks ago. or on Nov.
rs. he was made drunk, doped and put
on board of the south-bound train and
not until he reached Helena and spent
three days there did he know or real
ize what had happened. He sends his
love and also an order for $50 of the
money which he owes the court.
He says that on the evening OF Nov.
Is he was drinking and taking in the
town as a patriotic citizen. and one
who a just won a considerable sum
of money on the election, should. He

told Allison that he had two passes
for Butte and that he might ride on one
of them. However. Allison did not like
the looks of the stranger. n after
partaking of his hospitality as far as
Helena, he left the train. In that city
he followed the custom of the place and
was dead for three days. Fortunately
ne discovered a $40 bill in an inside
pocket. which his friend had over
looked. Then he found an acquaintance
on the railroad who was kind enough
TO carry him as far as M~issoula, and
from that city he went to Spokane and
Intends to 20 to the coast.
He says that he a written to his
people in the East for money. n when
II arrives he will settle up his indebt-
edness in Great Falls. In the meantime
he sends his love.
II has already been stated in these
columns that Officer Sheehy met him
on the night of his departure. II was
not stated that at the time he was lean
ing against the park fence in front Of
the Standard Office in what seemed TO
be a drunken stupor. and that the OFF,
Ger shook him up and advised him to
60 home. He moved on and that was
the last seen of hin. 1t may be that
he has been the victim of misplaced
confidence. that his money has been
taken rom him and he is honestly un-
able to face his creditors, but 1t is well
that he sends his love.
