Against Prominent People.

aforesaid bank. Kyle Price, O. q. Coop
err A. C. johnson and E. +. Leach, nled
their amended complaint according 10
stipulation. and If they prove all or That
which they alIege in the same document,
it is likely to stir up mild sensation in
this community.
Some time ago Mrs. Martin, as the
executrix of her husbands estate,
brought suit on a note against .. y.
Cooper and recovered a judgment Tor
S14 00S so. All of this is set up in the

A COWARDlY MURDER.
A Man Knocked on the Head and Killed
H. In n Whiskey Dive.

Great Falls, Feb. 26.-Word has been
received of a cowardly murder which
took place in so-called store twhiskey
dive three miles west of Bull Head
on the Crows Nest Pass, on Friday
last.
1t seemed that two or three men We're
in the dive, which was being run by q
man named Fred Carson, who was loaf
ing about Macleod last summer ana
did not have a very enviable reputation
there The man had been drinking.
Carson addressed himself to an elderly
man who was there, and told him that 1t
was his turn to treat. This man treated
and asked how much it was, taking his
purse out of his pocket When he dis
covered the charge he objected and said
he would not pay it. Carson then told
him he had better get out and followed
up this suggestion by hitting him on
/ the head with club. The man dropped
and died four hours afterwards.
Carson then skipped, and went down
to McGillvray's camp. When he ar
rived there he said that a bad accident
had happened at Wellman's camp
through "a premature explosion of dyna-
mite. and that several men had been
killed and number badly injured. He
! said that ne had been sent down 10 gel
a saddle horse to go for the doctor dc
/ was given a saddle horse. and started
! and that is the last that has been seer
/ of him. Inspector Sanders started II
I pursuit, and traced him some distance
/ when he apparently doubled back, anc
! all trace Of him disappeared.

the sum of $3.50, the amount due on
her boarding house license In this city
and in Belt. To the constable VINO
served the summons she told that the
county could sue and collect in the next
world If they wished to, but she would
never pay it In this She had just sold
out her boarding house, anyway, and
was going to Klondike right away, and
they could just whistle for their old IL
cense.
Then the county attorney swore out
warrant against her for running her
business without a license. She was
taken before Justice Burieigh and plead
ed not guilty. The hearing was set for
next Monday, and the bond was 5000.
Judge Burleigh let her go on her own
recognizance, but the county attorney,
believing that she was about to leave
the city, demanded that she furnish the
bond. This afternoon she was brought
up again and she refused to pay the IL
cense or to put up the bond, and the
last that was seen of her was as she
went down Third street toward the
county Jail in company of Dave Bra-
neau the jailer.

FORMULATED A PROTEST.
Parents object to the New Order of the
school Trustees.


Great Falls Feb. a6-The school trus-
tees of Great Falls at recent meeting
decided that in order to keep their eX-
penses within their income they would
have 10 make the hours longer Suca
action met with general disapproval in
the community and as a result the FOL

the board
To the Honorable Board of Education,
City of Great Falls:
Whereas. ii has been
stated that at a meeting of your honor

CHICAGO MARKETS.
f'rohuce.

Chicago Feb. 26.-~For a few moments
after the start whent, compared with the
weakness II DEVELOPED later, was fairy
STEADY. July started iAc lower to lse high
er at from S9smssi2c, and May l2c lower
at 81 .03. Letters brokers appeared to have
supporting orders in July at the start,
and for this reason that month showed
steadiness until May weakened badly.
Then July followed. Trading in May was
very light. There were a good many more
selling orders than the limited demand
could take care of. the result being de-
cline to 81 02la. The continued increasing
production of contract wheat by the mix
ers apparently affected May.
Liverpool was from ismssd lower and
crop reports from California and India
especially from the latter country, were
very favorable. The weakness which de-
veloped in May was soon reflected in
July. There was IA good deal Of selling out
by people who have been 'tailing" on the
Letter campaign. and who had become
discouraged by the recent downward turn
10 the market. and prices in spite of the
Letter support declined steadily. Al
around SSizc for July the market hesitated
, for a time. A period of dullness and mar
row fluctuations set in, but about half an
hour from the close the market developed
fresh weakness under renewed selling OF
longs July getting down to SsB and May,
which had rallied 10 81 90, declining 10

again gave the market some support. this

cause a rally In that option to sl.021a

QUEEN OF THE HILLS.
Rich strike the Reward of Long
Patience.

A Rich strike the Reward of Long
Patience.
Great Falls, Feb 26.-Of the recent
rich strike in the Queen of the Hills
mine at Neihart, the Miner of that town
has the following TO say:
Kyle Price, a heavy stakeholder N
the Queen, came in Monday to note
progress on that property. For the last
four months the company has been run
ming a oross-cut to strike the lead on the
3oo-foot level. This lead was struck the
first of the week and body of ore found
averaging over a foot in width of 200
ounce ore. Mr.. Price IS well pleased
with the strike, for the patience of the
company was nearly exhausted, it hay
ing expected to strike the lead in from
six to eight weeks. They have now
about 20 men employed and as soon as
room is made will probably put on a
few more They also have body of 80
ounce ore on the first level. The COM
pany deserves its good fortune for its
persistcncy in the face of many dffti-
culties, and from the fact that II has put
in at least S12 for every dollar taken out.
Andy Nelson is and has been in imme-
date charge since the mine resumed.

Great Falls, Feb. 26.-The half-breed
settlement near Lewistown was the
scene of a somewhat violent love affair
the other night. There was dance In

named Joseph Tufella, who evidently
had emptied a few bowls into himself.

him. She chose TO be naughty and Ike

Joseph drew his gun and declared that
he was about TO make the young lady
dance with him. Bystanders interfered

Great Falls, Feb. &c. A. Parrot of
Lewistown has just returned from trip
which must have been narrowing to his
feelings. He left his home near Mon
treal in 1860 and until now has not

of the rest were still living on the old
homestead They had thought that he
was dead and none of them recognized
him at first Mr.. Parrot, however, says
he would have known them had he met
them anywhere. He remained at the
old home for about a month looking up
and visiting his old friends and reia-
tives there. and then returned TO Mon

The Duke of Ossone, while yiceroy
Of Naples, delivered many quaint and
clever judgments. The case is relat
ed where a young Spanish exquisite
named Bertrand Solus. while lounginp
around In the busy part of the city, was
run against by II porter carrying bun
die of wood on his shoulder.
The porter had called out, "Make
way, please!' several times. but with
out effect. He had then tried to GET bv
without collision, but his bundle caught
IN the young mans velvet dress and
tore it. Solus was highly indignant,
and had the porter arrested. The vice
roy, who had privately investigated the
matter, told the porter to pretend he
was dumb, and at the trial to reply Inv
signs TO any question that might be
put to him.
When the case came on and Solus
had made his complaint the vi,eroy
turned TO the porter and asked him
what he had to say in reply. The Dor.
ter only shook his head and made signs
with his hands.
What judgment do you want me to
give against dumb man% asked the
giceroy.
"Oh, your excellency," replied Solus.

Before he ran into me distinctly heard
him cry out, Make way"
'Then," said the viceroy, sterniy, .ff
you heard him ask you to make way for
him, why did you not? The fault OF the
accident was entirely with yourself,
and you must give this poor man com.

Hot Weather Chez Sc Making.

Professor j. w. Robertson, of the
Ontario Agricultural College says: A
cheese factory's reputation is largely
determined by the quality of its
August, September and October out
put. Inefficient drainage facilities
will show their worst effects during
warm weather. Clean the whey tank
at least once.
Flies must be kept out of the maxi
ing room. Some afternoon when the
cheese are in the hoops burn small
quantity of sulphur in the room after
closing up the doors and windows. If
tablespoonful of alcohol be mixed
with the sulphur it will burn more
readily. Care must be taken to pre-
vent the fumes getting into the curing
room. The tins OF the milk vats and
the inside of the sinks should be washed
after this fumigating process before
they are used.
In the curing room, ventilate dur.
ing early morning and at night to
keep the temperature as low as posi-.
BILE. Sprinkle the floors with cold
water morning, noon and evening
While the cheese are being turned on
the shelves there should be an abun-
dant admission of light. When flies
are apt to be abundant, plentiful
shaking of fly powder in the room be-
fore shutting up for the day will de-
stroy them. When the evenings are
cool and the milk needs ripening, do
not fail to leave it in the vat until it
reaches the proper stage of maturity
before the rennet is added. Use
enough rennet to coagulate the milk
in forty minutes when it is set at
eighty-eigh degrees. Dilute the ex-
tract to the extent of one pailful of
water for every vatful Of milk and then
mix it thoroughly by rapid, vigorous
stirring.
When troubled with gassy curds,
allow development of acid such as
will be indicated by threads by the hot
iron test quarter of an inch long.
Before removing the cord, it is a good
plan to run most of the whey off at an
early stage and to leave only enough
to permit free stirring of the curd.
After the curd cutter has been used,
stir for twenty minutes before apply
ing the salt. Then curd should be
put into the hoops within twenty min
utes after the salt has been mixed in.
Apply the pressure very gradually.
The cheese should be bandaged very
neatly when they are turned in the
hoops within two hours after they are
put in the press. When practicable,
cheese should be pressed fog at least
twenty-four hours.
