Nohtt

Lethbridge on Sept. %, 1892, and thai
they lived together as man and wife
for five years. Their residence OF late
has been at Belt. and there she al
leges that Fred treated her in a man
ner that was cruel n inhuman. On
Oct. 2, 1897, while she was confined TO
her bed with severe illness. Fred placed
a loaded revolver against her head and
threatened to blow il off and made
other equally violent threats. n that
10 days later he repeated his little
amusement. Such action IN his part
made her violently i'll. so i'll In fact
that had to be removed to the Column
bus hospital in this city. where she lay
for quite a long time under treatment.

ONE ON GUERlN.
The Chief Tells of His Experience with
Touts at Butte.

louis ~ butte.
Great Falls, Sept. 2s.-Chief Guerin
enjoys telling a good story on himself as
much as he does one on some one else.
1t was not, however, until the close Of
the race meeting here that he CAV his
experience with the touts at Butte. He
had gone over at the opening of the
meeting to consult with the other po-
lice officials of the state and also a CAL
fornia nan with a view to mutual en-
largement of knowledge Of the particu-
lar toughs following h races. The first
day spent by Guerin on the track was
mostly in the company of Ted Hanson,
the gentleman Of this city who has been
associated with w. ID. Randall for the
past two or three years. Jerry Murphy
of Butte was present part of the time
but Guerin says that after Murphy had
left him for a minute or so some
stranger would walk up n find some
way of accosting him.
The usual method employed was ask
ing for a match. Guerin would produce
this, the stranger would roll a cigarette,
light it and then remark, This is 60
ing to be a rafting good race, pardner.
You'd better buy Jimcrow for place.
He's dead sure of winning n it will
only cost you i've"
Johns usual reply was. We'll. you put
up the five" Then the tout
would go away and run
some other of the fraternity up
against John and get another match
for his trouble. Guerin says that he did
not tumble until the end Of the after
noon to the fact that these were touts
and that they were trying to work him.
He had been thinking and attending
to other business and really did not
think much about it until they had ex-
hausted his supply of matches. Mean
while. Murphy and Hanson would watch
the play from a distance and chuckle at
the idea of the touts trying TO work
Guerin. Later when they explained 10
Gucrin, II cost several rounds Of cigars,
Ted Hanson tells the sequel. The next
day the outs were all on 10 Guerin's
position, but Guerin was looking for re-
venge. 1T the start he had bought two
boxes OF matches and filled his pockets
with them. When he found that the
outs were leaving him strictly alone he
hunted them. He chased them from bet
ting ring to grandstand and back again.
and whenever he caught one out would
come a match, and Have a match, son
I've got lots Of them to-day" He got
the touts so that they would flee around
a corner whenever that peculiar face OF
Guerin's doomed up, and he vas not
content with tormenting them on thu
track, but would find his way through
a crowded street car, and always witt
tina Internal proffer of a match. Some
times he would merely hold out thu
match in silence and sometimes ii would
be accompanied by an innocent ques.
ton. but II was all the same, and h
kept it up throughout his four days
stay. and at all times and places unit
il threatened to undermine the menta
| condition of some Of the fraternity
Hanson says it was more fun than ever
the first joke, and he and Murphy wer,
very glad to supply the cigars.
Guerin was one man i'm Great Fall
whom the touts left strictly alone.

A Hairless Pun.

Great Falls. Sept. 2s.-J. T.. Lee of
this city has a curiosity in the shape of
Mexican and Chinese hairless dogs are
comparatively common. and the strang-
er pronounces the pup at once TO be a
member OF this species. but he Is not.
His father was a big Newfoundland and
his mother a shaggy haired collie. but
the son Is as guiltless of hair as the
face Of a baby. His hide is the color
Of an Asiatic elephant. and IL has a Pc
cuiiar. harsh. velvety feeling to the
hand While he Is only three months
old ne looks a IL he might be about a
hundred years. and apparently is al
ways bordering on his difference from
other dogs. He is an absurd looking
beast and Mr.. Lee is keeping him
blanketed in the hope of raising him as
a curiosity.

Another Artesian Wei.

Great Falls, Sept. 2S.-Another arte-
sian well has been found in the country
north of this city. John Zimmerman,
while driving a we'll for j.. V. Davies at
Shelby Junction, struck an underground
stream at a depth of $50 feet. Unlike
the Chalmers well, the water did not
burst with sufficient force 70 throw a
stream into the air, but gradually rose
until it overlooked at the surface. The
stream brought up small pieces OF coal,
indicating h a a coal seam had been
broken through. At the present time
the pipe rests on a bed of a and the
water is filed with sand in consequence
The flow is about that Of the ordinary
pump, but is steadily increasing, and
Mr.. Zimmerman believes hat in time il
will equal that of the Choteau well. II
is also very probable that driving the
well deeper would tap another and
stronger current of water.

state ticket. 1t also censures in strong
terms the extravaganza of the present
republican administration of county af-
fairs and the continuance Of a high rate
of taxation TO maintain the same. More
than that, it focuses the county officials
Of dereliction in duty.

Ro.ton Wool Market.

Boston sept. S-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter says: so far as
local trading is concerned. the market
shows no change worthy of mention. The
money market is favorable and prices for
wool are well maintained. We do not hear
OF any striking concessions. There seems
TO be nothing for any one TO do except
wait for developments.
In the matter OF exporting wool our
dealers feel that there is possibly room
for considerable activity. The woods that
are being exported are. OF course. woods
in bond. on which the duty has not been
paid. They are mostly direct importations
from Australia, although they include
some woods bought at the London sales
months ago.
The sales OF the week In Boston
amount TO i.o42. 900 pounds domestic and
573. 900 pounds foreign against a total OF
1,5s4, 900 pounds for the previous week and
a total OF 13.012, COO pounds for the CORE
spending week last year. Sales since Jan.
