OF the loss of receivers certificates OF

$4,000. The certificates We're stolen with
a satchel belonging to Mrs. Swiggett,
wife of the receiver. and were payable
to J. Chivett Of Helena, to whom Mrs.
Swlggett was taking them. Ii will he
remembered that Mrs. Swigget left
her satchei at the railway station in
Ph~ilipsburg and that il was taken by a
traveller by mistake and by him left at
Drummond, where IL was stolen. The
satchel was found. empty. by a section
foreman neal Drummond, lying beside
the track.
This was two weeks ago and tonight
$1,000 worth of checks were found by a
car Inspector here at Missoula. The
checks were rolled up and stuffed into
the journal box of a freight car that
came down on the Bitter Root train
tonight. The car has been up to Ham
iltun n unloaded and loaded again in
the two weeks that have interviewed be-
tween the time the satchel was stolen
and the finding of the checks.

In the final race of the day, Castake, a gelding, which seems to be able to run as fast as he wants to at times, was backed down from 40 to 15 to 1. downing his field with perfect impunity, and every book in the ring sold pasteboards on the out slider.

Einstein could not untrack himself. Monitor was also a minus quality so far as speed was concerned.

WILL INCREASE
 SUPERVISORS Charter Makers Favor a Board of Eighteen
 Mem berS. They Will Be Elected at Large as Under the Present
 System pr. Anderson Advocated Plan to Have Them Elected From the
 Districts.

The Board of Freeholders spent sev- eral hours last night discussing the proposed new legislative department of the municipality. The subcommittee appointed to draft a code of laws to govern the legislative body reported in favor of a Board of Supervisors con- sisting of eighteen members, who shall be elected at large and who shall hold office for two years, with the excep- ti0n that the first board under the charter, if 1t is adopted, shall so divide itself by lot that nine members shall go out at the expiration of the first year and the other nine members at the expiration of the second year, and that thereafter nine members shall be elected annually to the board.
 Dr. Anderson offered as a substitute for the measure section providing that the members of the Board of Su- pervisors shall be nominated at large, but elected by districts. He also de- sired to have a clause inserted in the charter providing that upon the filing of petition signed by twenty per cent of the voters of a district the Election Commissioners should call a special election in that district.
 pr. Anderson argued that if the Su-
 
 the voters would be able to better judge of the qualifications of the can didates. He believed that the city should be redistricted into eighteen wards, the same as Assembly districts. Then in the event of a Supervisor proving unfaithful to his trust 20 per cent of the voters could compel the Election Commissioners to call a spe- cial election to secure his removal. The Supervisor whose removal was sought would be allowed, however, to have his name on the ticket, and in the event of receiving a majority of the votes cast he would be allowed to re- main in office, but if defeated his sue cessor would at once take his seat and complete the unexpired term.
 The suggestion of pr. Anderson brought about a lengthy debate.
 Ex-Mayor Ellert, P. H. Mccarthy. H. N. Clement and Joseph Comte were opposed to the district system, as they believed that no good would accrue from ii. They were of the opinion that the Supervisors should be elected by general ticket. as at present, and the majority of the Freeholders were in like frame of mind, for Dr. Anderson's substitute was defeated and the sec tion suggested by the committee adopt ed.
 The Freeholders next decided that no person shall be eligible to the office of Supervisor unless he has been for at least five years continuously a quali- fled elector of the city and county.
 The Freeholders will meet again to- morrow night to decide on the powers of the Supervisors.
