Produce.

Chicago March 1n.-Dulness as marked
as at any time during the holiday sea-
son marked the opening Of wheat. There
was a good deal of uncertainty regarding
figures on farm reserves in the farthcom-
ing government crop report and traders
as consequence were unwilling TO 60
deeper either way than they were all
ready. This feeling, in fact was marked
throughout the session and the market
at no time exhibited any real degree of
activity.
The start was easier Liverpool cables
were disappointing, showing about SD de-
cline. News from Washington regarding
the Spanish complications were also of
a more disturbing character and another
big addition to the stocks of contract
wheat at Chicago was reported. July
opened at sc and May i4c lower
at 81 .o41b. For nearly half an hour prices
kept within a lac radius. Then. helped by

about that time, and also by the predic-
lions of freezing weather over the West
and Southwest. prices improved IA trifie.
1t was but temporary, however Though
no selling pressure of consequence devel-
oped there was for the rest of the ses-
sion almost an entire absence of buying
orders for July and that delivery slowly
but surely gravitated toward Il lower lev
el. May for some time held fairly firm,
traders being apparently afraid TO sell
that delivery, but the weakness in July
finally encouraged them and offerings be-
. came free enough to cause n drop to

A Helena influence.

Great Falls. March 1o.-This after
noon Rosette Ranmaei filed suit in the
district court for divorce from her hus-
band. Martin. Her complaint states
that they We're married in Helena on
June Il. 1894, and lived together low
ingly until Jan. /, 1896, when the Helena
influence got in its work and Martin
deserted her without cause, and TO this
day has continued to remain absent
from his post of duty. She says her
name used to be Rosetta Sanborn. and
under the circumstances she deems it
but right that the court should grant
her the privilege of continuing to take
care of herself but under the old name.

The County Attorney Elects Not 10 Give
Him /, Second Trial.
Great Falls, March 10.-This after
aoon in the district court the charge
Of criminal assault against William
Mcmillan was dismissed on motion of
the county attorney and the man was
set at liberty. The crime was alleged
to have been committed during Au-
gust, 1896, and came to trial at the
September term of the district court
following. Mcmillan was found guilty
by the jury and sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for life. His attorneys, Stan
ton & Stanton, contended that the rul-
ings of the court, then G. II. Benton,
had been unfair and that the evidence
in the case was not sufficient to war
rant a conviction.
The supreme court on the second ar
gument sent the case back for re-trial,
and it was therefore necessary to pro-
duce more evidence at the second trial
than the first had brought out. This
was an irnpossibility under the circum-
stances and the county attorney there
fore moved to have the case dismissed
in order to save the county from un-
necessary expense. In his motion he
included an affidavit from the sheriff.
c. c. Proctor, and one from the chief
of police of this city. John Guerin, in
which they agreed that no more evil
dence could be produced. The county
attorney further stated that he had
had the prosecuting witness, Mary Au-
gustine, brought in from point near
Augusta, and about 90 miles from this
city,4and had found that her memory
of what had happened on the particu-
lar and awful night had grown dim
since the first trial and that she would
not be able TO make as good a witness
as she then did. The court granted the
motion and told Mcmillan he was free.
The prisoner manifested no emotion,
but only rose in his seat and stood
while his attorney asked him to wait
a few minutes until he had disposed of
another matter
The case made out by the state at
the first trial was that the little girl,
aged Il. had gone to the Mcmillan
ranch to spend the afternoon and night
during her parents absence from home.
During the night Mcmillan came to the
room where she was sleeping by her
self and committed the horrible deed
and that she lay moaning there until
morning, when McMillan's wife washed
her underwear and later IN the after
noon, sent her home. She told her
mother that evening. or the next day.

ranch. which is located several miles

Reddington Gets Three Days for a Drunk
and Disorierly.
Great Falls, March 10-This morn
ing's session of the police court had
more of interest than such levees have
possessed for some time. The first cul-
prit to toe the mark was John Redding-
ton. who was charged with being drunk
and disorderly. As he was in con-
dition when Officer Anderson brought
him in wherein he did not even know
his name he thought he might have been
guilty. In default of any cash to pay
fine he was committed to the Jail for
three days.
Hugh Mcintosh was arrested by Off
GERS Black and Bissett early this morn
ing for being drunk and asleep. The
officers claim that for several days he
has been loafing around town flashing a
certificate of deposit on the First Ma
tional bank for 1910 and on the strength
of it getting drinks and small sums of
money from sheepherders This morning
he was fined $25 and costs by Judge
Hawkins. and as he refused at the time
to pay his fine he was committed to
Jail for II days. The officers believe that
when he sobers up little more he will
change his mind and send his certifica tie
out to be cashed.

THEY EL0PED.
But Secured the Parents Consent Before
Getting Married.

Getting Married.
Great Falls, March 10.-The story of
a successful elopement comes from the
country of the Little Belt. James A.
Light and Miss Belle Hill have been
sweethearts for some time and they
have also been anxious to be married,
but as the young lady was only IL
years of age, her parents objected to
the match, though they did not carry
their objections so far as to forbid the
young man from continuing his atten-
tions. or the daughter from receiving
them.
On Monday the young people left
that part of the country and taking the
train, made for Salem, Mo-, where they
intended that the ceremony should be
performed with the old folks consent,
If possible, but performed anyway.
They had waited three years and they
believed that was enough. They wired
Mr.. and Mrs. w j. Hill of their flight
and of their intentions, and it was
through the kindly offices of mutual
friends of both young people and par
ents that the latter was finally OBJ
tanned. Accordingly, Mr.. Hill last
night wired the young folks that they
had his permission to go ahead, and
presumably that they might come home
and all would be forgiven.
The groom is brother of Prof. w.
G.. Light of the Belt schools and bears
the reputation of being a most estima-
BILE young man.

A BRAVE ACT.
benjamin stap1eton Pulls "A Boy Out of
the River.

Great Falls, March I0.-Last night
Benjamin Stapleton did brave act,
which merits recognition in some form.
He was coming across the wagon bridge
on First avenue north when he saw a
small boy trying to swim in the water
beneath the bridge. Returning to the
bank he waded out into the water to the
boy and brought him ashore. He found
that the lad he had saved was little
Willie Mcdonald. who lives on the west
side of the river, and is but years old.
He sent the boy home and came on to
this side of the river. The water was
icy cold and the child was rapidly be-
coming exhausted by his struggles and
had not Stapleton acted without hesi-
fancy would undoubtedly have persisted
in a few minutes. The boy said that
he had been fishing in the river, but got
onto some rotten ice and went into the
stream. Stapleton was soaked to the
skin in the ice cold water, but is feel
ing all right to-day. The boy is also
doing well.

case before the county attorney.
The details of the story told
by the little girl were revolt
ing and beyond description. and at
the time the community here was so
incensed that threats of lynching were
openly made. The sheriff took the ut
most precaution after the sentence had
been pronounced to keep his prisoner
from mob violence and hurried him
away on the first train to Deer Lodge.
His attorneys made hard fight for
him, and the result, from legal stand
point, is a great victory
