opments In "a short Time.

{ Great Falls, Jan. 2S.-In confirmation
of last nights dispatch regarding the
working of the Arlington mine by the
Sand Coulee Coal company, a letter re-

Financial Proceedings.
NEW YORK STOCK REPORT
Digest of Exchange News Mining Stocks
Metal Quotations-Wool Prices and
Movements-Grain and Pro-
duce-Review of Trade.

New York Jan. 2S.-To-day's stock
market showed signs of a struggle by
the bulls to sustain prices while they
were taking their profits. They were mod
erately successful and sold large blocks
of stocks which have been recent specu-
lative favorites without producing any
marked declines elsewhere in the list.
Northern Pacific preferred showed net
gain for to-day but declines were not
sufficient to uncover any large number of
stop-loss orders. The sharp gains in spe-
cial stocks at different times during the
day were evidently due to manipulation
for the purpose of sustaining the general
market.
This, together with the higher range
of prices reported from London this
morning, kept stocks well above last
nights level during the early part of the
day, but the closing showed an easy tone,
with prices generally at the lowest. New
York Central was conspicuous under re-
alizing pressure after the opening and
closed 1l2 per cent. lower than the days
high Point. Kansas d Texas preferred
showed an extreme decline of IA points
and Rock Island of full point
Heaviness of the granger group was an
other factor in the decline. London was a
heavy seller, especially of New York Gen.
trail This added to the heavy tone to
tor on the side of the reactionists was the
weakness in the anthracite group, declines
in some of its members reaching a point.
The local New York group added the
weight of lis weakness to the burden of
the bulls The sudden spurts of strength
shown by Northwestern, Louisville and
Denver preferred and few other stocks
proved unavailing to counterfeit the gen.
eral low tendency.
Exchange hardened a fraction for de-
mand in response to London's continued
selling of stocks here. The announce
ment of the withdrawal of G10,000 in gold
from the Bank of England for shipment
to the United States was without any ef-
feet here. Reports from London during
the earlier dealings here showed prices
for Americans higher and active, the
speech of the president last night being
assigned as the cause. The anticipation
of this speech has been used for several
days by the bulls in Wall street and
the realizing to-day after it's delivery
was in accordance with the practice of
professional traders.
Business in the bond market continued
on a heavy scale and prices generally are
higher. There were single transactions in
par value of $150,O00 and $4,000 of the
Union Pacific purchase certificates; $l2j,-
600 of Atchison adjustment AS and 500. 0OO

THOSE WARRANT FRAUDS
James Filter Made Two Trips to
Cascade County.
HE HAD GOOD WITNESSES
Twelve Hides Were Thrown Out Of One
Bunch = Filter Accepted the Re-
duction Without Murmur-A
Bid for Pardon.

Great Falls, Jan. 2S.-The report that
James Filter, who is now confined in
the penitentiary of Montana for having
fraudulently obtained bounty warrants
from the state, had stated that he was
prepared to give testimony which would
tend to implicate the clerks of the vari-
GUS counties of the state, this one in
cluded, in his crime, led the Standard
reporter to make a call at the court
house for the purpose of ascertaining
just how much truth there was in the
statement as applied to this county.
From the records it was learned that in
October, 1896. Filter visited the office Of
the clerk and recorder twice. The first
time he brought Peter Vonbank, the
proprietor of the Minnesota house, and
an old and honored citizen of this
county, and Tracey DeLong, another
man of unblemished character. to act
as his witnesses. He then received GER
tificates for SO hides. The second visit
he brought in "a hides and had in addi-
tion to Mr.. Vonbank, John Pogreba, an
engineer on the Great Northern and a
taxpayer in this city, for witness. This
time the clerk threw out II hides be-
cause they had been mutilated. Filter
accepted the reduction without a muir
muir. but did not do any further business
with the office. 1t happened in
each instance that a deputy, and not
the clerk in person, punched the hides
and issued the certificates
1t is the opinion of the clerk, l.. M.
Mcdonnell, and the opinion is shared
by almost every one who has paid any
attention to the matter that Filter is
trying to make bid for the gallery in
the hope that he can work upon the feel
ings of Governor Smith and in dhat way
obtain diminution of his sentence.

Great Falls, Jan. 2S.-William E.

mer of the Park hotek and was after

Of Chief Guerin, was brought into the

raigned. He pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to years Imprisonment in

first captured to be only 10 years of
age, but evidently abandoned that idea.
as he did not ask for leniency on that
score to-day. but took his sentence
without any exhibition of feeling
The district court also issued an order
demanding William Mcmillan 10 the
custody of the sheriff to await further
proceedings. Mcmillan Was convicted
in this county about a year and a half
ago of a horrible crime. The testimony
showed that he had outraged a child
only II or Is years of age. The child
was the daughter of a neighbor and
had come TO the Mcmillan house to
remain while her folks came to Great
Falls. She remained over night. and in
the afternoon Of the next Gay went
back TO her home. where she told her
mother that Mcmillan had entered the
room where she slept during the night
and committed the horrible deed. There
was also much circumstantial evidence

Ting at those figures by heavy holders,
and May was down to 96c and July to

materialzed. Traders were somewhat
staggered by the weakness at Liverpool.
That market opened sG1Ad higher. but
a large slice OF this advance had been
lost when the 1870 p. m. cables came in.
This weakness was explained by the Ar
gentine shipments for the week. SG4 900
bushels. This was more than twice as
much as during the previous week.
Northwest receipts were liberal. The de-
cline lasted about half an hour, when
a covering movement resulted in an ad-
vance in May to SIC, when another spell
of unloading carried the price back to
96l4c.
1t gradually recovered to 9Gssc. AT mid
day 1t began to develop some of the bull

this amount, the price in the meantime
jumping with its usual rapidity to 81. 10.

THE CASE DISMISSED.
neg Casey and Dewar Will Not BE Tried
for Grand Larceny.

hV8 Vastly DcWaf VIII OF he
for Grand Larceny.
Great Falls. Jan. 2S.-Judge Leslie, of
the district court, to-day discharged the
case against Inez Casey for grand lar
ceny under the habeas corpus proceed
ings instituted Monday by her attor-
ney, George H. Stanton. The ruling of
the court was that the evidence pro-
duced on the part of the state at the
preliminary hearing was so insufficient
in establishing the guilt of the prisoner
that should jury find for conviction
on it the court would fail of its duty if
il did not set aside the verdict. The rul-
ing has caused much discussion and not
little surprise among the members of
the local bar. The county attorney i'm
mediately dismissed the charge against
Casey's alleged partner in the crime
Lewis Dewar. believing that under the
circumstances a conviction would be
impossible in the district court. He
stated this afternoon that the court s
decision same to him as a great sur
prise. but it would make the duties of
his office much lighter in the future, as
there would be no use in taking cases
up to the district court unless there was
cinch case against the accused.

a portion of his property here, and al
though he is over so years of age, be-
lieves that he will be able to hold his
