THE HOUSE THAT CANT BUILT.
 Chapter H.

"A thing begun is half done" The house was now to rise as a monument of MT. Gant's enterprise It was not his intention to build a two-story house, but on the contrary he thought to build one-story house, leaving the gables open for a thorough circula- tion of air. His idea was to secure the greatest coolness possible. Upon the convincing figures of Justice Mey- CTS, which showed that it would cost but little more, he decided to build it two stories, close the gables and leave the second story to be finished on the inside, at the option of certain future occupants.
 This decided, everything went of smoothly, the house rapidly assumed

Great Falls by the next train and then
| the whole story came out
Boch had told the officers that he and
another man named johnson had a
mine on the Blaekfoot reservation, and
the lump of gold was the result of
two years labor. Later he hedged and
stated that the mine was rather nearer
TO Marysville than il was to Blackfoot
and that he had come to this city by
way of Helena and was on his way
East. When he wrote the letter he
shut up entirely, and said that on May
gers arrival he would give the whole
matter away. He and Mayer, in the
presence of Chief Guerin. had a long
talk one morning. 1t developed that
during last winter Boch and his brother
had worked in the St Louis mine. and
1t was during that time that Boch
managed to get away with the gold.
he retorted 1t roughly in the absence
from the works of his fellow workmen.
and cached it at home. When he had
accumulated enough of the gold he and
his brother opened a butcher shop in
Marysville, and it was William May
gers endorsement on their notes which
gave them their working capital Boch
told his story without blush at his in
gratitude and had the face to ask May
ger to nay his fine. He said that he
had more of the stuff, but refused to
implicate anyone else i'm the theft
Mayer took Boch back to Marysville
with him after paying his fine, and a
telegram received by the officer here to-
day says that Boch got away after he
reached Marysville so that it is likely
that while through the clever detective
work of Chief Guerin and the prompt
action of Sheriff Proctor a great deal
has been unearthed, it is far from
likely that the thief will ever be pun
ished as he richly deserves. The value
of the gold which was taken will never
be known. Boch had a piece here that
was worth about $500. but in his talk
with the officers he intimated that it
was but a sample OF what he had
cached. and which he promised Mayger
he would turn over to him. He had
previously worked at the Drum -Lum-
mon and it is very probable that he
commenced his thieving operations
then.
But the present problem is to catch
the thief. The story has been held
back to enable the mine owners to re-
cover their gold If possible, but it seems
that opportunity is gone. The arrest of
Herman Boch in this city occurred on
the 18th, but it was more than a week
before that when Guerin began his de-
tective work
At 4 O'Clock this afternoon Judge
Burleigh announced that he would bind
Ensign Wright who stole the silver bull
lion from the Boston e. Montana smell
ter, over to the district court on the
charge of grand larceny. Wright was
unable to furnish bonds and was re-
manded to the county Jail So far there
have been no exposures showing that
anyone else was implicated in the pur-
Joining of the bullion, although, as pre-
viously stated. Mrs. Wright claimed
that she could give the names of Is
Others who should share her husbands
fate. The family is said to be in des-
perate circumstances. Wright claimed
that he stole in order to pay his house

DOG GONE IT TO SKAGUAY
Mr.. Webber Mourns the Loss of
His Valuable st. Bernard.
PETE SMITHS GRAFT
=
He Went to the Dogs and Took
Them Along With Him When He
Started for the Gold Fields
in the Klondike

Great Falls, Jan. LIT has just been
discovered that the recent vague sus-
picions against t. w. p, Smith, who left
this city in November bound for the
lklondike were not without foundation.
The story that he had decamped with
number of valuable dogs was started
by his friends here as joke. but let
ter received here to-day shows that
unsuspected by them he is really the
thief that the story made him. Shortly
after Smiths departure from this city
John Webber. who resides on the west
side of the Missouri and who is an en<
gineer on the Montana Central, lost his
dog. 1t was magnificent animal, a
huge black and white st. Bernard He
had raised 1t from puppy and it had
been faithful guardian of his house
hold for several years. He went to the
chief of police, John Guerin, and report
ed his loss. The latter, knowing that
such animals We're in demand by those
bound for Alaska, at once picked on
Pete Smith as possible thief He ad-
vised Webber to go to the county attor-
ney and obtain warrant, when he
would act further. Webber applied to
the county attorneys office and was
told that warrant would not be issued
for such purpose. In the meantime
Mr. Guerin had learned that Pete was
at ltldIu.
When Mr.. Webber returned and told
his experience with the county attor-
ney or his assistant, that a warrant for
the apprehension and return of the thief
OF 5000 worth of dog flesh would not be
issued by that official. Chief Guerin ad-
vised him to write the chief of police at
Portland and find out whether his dog
was really there The answer to that
letter was received by Mr.. Webber to-
day.
The Portland officer says that not
only was Smith there at the time the
letter was received from Webber, but
that he had with him a dog which an
swers the description to a dot. and is
undoubtedly the Ia-S> animal. Mr.. Web
Der did NOT 1ecC lie to pay the eX-
penses of man to go after the dog,
although Chief Guerin offered his serv-
sees fsee of charge, and as the county
attorney refuses - .-----.,. tSs -ccsrrant,

ORE AND BULLION THIEVES.
Chief Guerin's Clever Work Unearths IA
Remarkable Discovery.

Great Falls, Jan. 19.-While all of
Great Falls is wondering over the case
of Ensign Wright, the smeiterman, who
stole silver bullion from the Boston &
Montana smelter, and making wild con-
lectures as to who Is concerned in the
robbery in addition TO the prisoner. not
even the newspaper men are aware that
at the same time the officers turned up
q case which is likely to lead ito the
discovery of the greatest stealing
case Montana has ever known. 1t has
been stated in the local papers that
the police of this city and the sheriff of
Cascade county, C. c. Proctor. have
been busy in mysterious manner fer
reting out conspiracy TO rob the cop
per smelter. and when the case of
Wright reached the courts they stated
that this was the outcome. AS a mat
ter of fact, the officers We're working on
a case which involved thousands where
this involved only hundreds.
During the time when Chief Guerin,
Officer Sheehy and the sheriff were
busy digging uD the evidence against
Wright, it happened one morning that
Guerin and Proctor We're sitting in the
officer of the former talking the case
over.
In the midst of their conversation
came a ring of the telephone. Guerin
answered it. The message was from a
local pawnbroker. and stated that the
Hitter fldu DIT IllS STORE IL man VINO was
trying to sell him some bars of crude
gold. Guerin replied that he should
take the gold to a local mineralogist
and have a value placed on It. In the
meantime he would come up and get
a good look at the would-be seller
When the chief arrived at the pawn
brokers' establishment, he found only a
clerk in charge and a stranger in front
of the counter. Guerin made a talk
about some clothes, and in that way
succeeded in getting a full view of the
stranger and an accurate description of
the man. Then he went after the
pawnbroker and from him secured not
only a sample of the gold, but another
description of the seller. which con-
firmed the one he had obtained He
first put man on the trail of the seller
and arranged plan at the same time
which would bring him still more into
his power. Making one pretext and
then another the officers managed to
get possession of the gold. which was
in the form of lump of amalgam
partly retorted, and in the meantime
they We're working to discover it's
source. Both thought that it had been
sent to fictitious firm of metallurgists
in Denver.
4lnally he became restless, partly be-
cause of what he considered unneces-
sary delay. and partly because he had
had il assayed here in town in the
meantime. and had found out its true
value. In consequence he went to the
pawnbroker. who he thought had it
in his possession, and became threat
ening. Then he was arrested on suspi-
cion. and fortunately he was found to
have a gun on him. He was confined
on the charge of carrying concealed
weapons. and in the course of a day
he asked permission TO write a letter
TO William Mayer. the manager of the
st. Louis mine at Marysvile. He
showed the letter to Guerin and it was
sent away. William Mayer came to

uifNe tss-.tlnuS.-
Great Falls, Jan. 19.-The latest ifevs
from the Edmonton route is that more
ihan 1000 horses have been started out
on IT, and in consequence the price of
the hitherto worthless cayuse has risen
until the beast is become a marketa BILE
commodity. The demand for horses has
reached Montana, and p. f. Hayden
and K. III. Crockett of Edmonton are at
Fort Benton and in that vicinity, trying
to purchase a band of Montana horses
TO drive across the line. The gentle
men expect TO dispose of them without
difficulty to gold-seeking tourists 1t is
known in this city that a well-knoWn
horseman here was approached on the
subject by other buyers for the same
purpose, but he placed the value of mis-
band at $50 per head. and this was more
than they cared to pay. The horses in
question were better than range ami
mails.
Those who are pushing the Edmonton
route believe that its success will not
only develop an easy and a profitable
route to the Yukon. but they also think
that 1t Will create market for the ami
mails which are now worse than useless
since they are eating up the feed which
would otherwise he turned into profit
able beef and mutton. They predict
that If the route is once opened up the
price of the horse will at once rise to
the notch it maintained in more pros
porous days. During the past wear
bands of horses in Northern Montana
have sold as low as $3.50 per head. and
the sellers felt that they were lucky in
getting rid of them at that price and
in some of the bands sold there We're
animals which weighed i 200 TO / 800

CHICAGO MARKETS.

Chicago Jan. 19.-Wheat started with
some show of weakness As usual. the
opening was greatly influenced by Liver
pool and the action of that market on this
occasion was disappointment to the
bulls. Liverpool opened i4a2sd higher. but
by opening time here that advance had
nearly all been lost. The market how
ever. was only slightly affected and af-
ter a few minutes hesitation a firm un-
dertone was shown.
May, which closed yesterday at slssfI
91lsc, opened to-day at 91I4c sold at 9lIsc
and for some time at 9l4m9lssc. About IL
clock the market became strong and
advanced 10 91l2c. where it was well sup
ported. The July option was the fea-
ture Of the trade. however. Ii opened at
Sll2as2c. or lsc under yesterdays price 1t
started up at once. and by the time May
had reached slizc July had advanced to
s3c. A great deal of the early buying OF
July was credited To the Letter people
which had the effect of not only driving
local shorts to cover. but outside shorts
anu for a time trading in that option was
decidedly warm.
The advance that followed the opening
decline was in the face of good deal of
bearish information brought i'm over the
wires. Besides the early loss at Liver
pool. flour at Paris was reported % CEN
times lower for the March-June term:
English country markets We're from Cdff
dealer cabled that French duties were i'm
movable: that crop prospects for the
next harvest were magnificent and that
the requirements of foreign wheat In that
country from now to July wheat were
only about 1900. 600 bushels Afterwards
the closing cables from Paris quoted
both wheat and flour from 10 centimes to
ID centimes higher. and from Antwerp a
rise of 12ia centimes was reported Liver
pool closed sd higher for the day for
March wheat and I'D lower for May.
Clearances from Atlantic and Gulf ports
We're equal in wheat and flour to 525G0O
bushels. Local receipts were II cars
against - the similar day of the year
before
Realizing by local longs became quite
free in the afternoon i'm both May and
July options, and slight declines ensued.
The extreme dullness which set in during
the last half hour also had its influence
and the market was weak at the close
May closing at 9lAc and July ut S2s4c
There was some Improvement in the
trade in corn. The market was weak on
general selling by room traders. May
ranged from 29c To 2SssM 2sa4c and closed a
shade higher at 2S7sc.
The market for oats was dull as in the
other grain pits. The start was easy but
the advance in wheat and corn was fol-
lowed by oats.
Considerable interest was shown in
provisions and prices advanced The mar
ket became weak later and nearly all the
advance was lost. AT the close May pork
was 2l2c higher. at $50 May lard glsc
