Canada appears to be getting warm
over the boundary dispute. Canada Is
not in all respects the best OF neishbors
since il is privileged to hide behind the
skirts of Victoria and so escape part
of the responsibility for its actions.
None the less it must be admitted that
the recent course of this government jus
titles land owners in keeping sharp eye
on corners and boundaries.

Clever Scheme of Tallen Women to acct

Missoula Oct. 25.-Emma Brown, the
colored woman who was arrested on sus-
pcion of having rolled a prominent Bitter
Root rancher ON Monday, and who was
arrested and locked up in the county jail,
was allowed to depart to-day, the rancher
refusing to prosecute. Miss Brown. in
trying to get the man into her den, used
tactics that have lately come into vogue
and which will, if the unsuspecting party
is not on the lookout catch them every
time The new system is to watch for the
victim as he is coming down the street.
When opposite the door she will pretend
to be moving trunk, but finds that it is
too heavy for her. She calls him in to as
siSt her, and when on the inside he will
find that it is a hard matter to get out
These tactics have been used a number
of times in Missoula in the last few
months, and some of the girls on the row
have accomplices to assist them in rum
ming in the victims. This is the way the
Bitter Rooter was caught, and it will
catch many more if they are not on the
lookout.

Diner Turcott's Actions Have Been
Queer of Late. IT,"
Missoula, Oct. 25.-Olner Turcott, an old
man who has lived at Frenchtown for
several years, has been locked up In the
county jail. He is thought to be slightly
demented and his friends thought that IL
he is the best place for him is the asy-
lum at Warm Springs. His is a mild case
and has come on him in a slow stage.
He has been allowed for several years to
go behind the counters in places of bust
ness and to help himself to anything that
he may want. Nothing has been said to
him about it. as he would do Il number
of errands for the merchants. He would
help himself to cigars or a drink of whis-
key whenever he wanted one. Lately his
friends noticed that he was still doing
these things without knowing it. A few
days ago he went behind counter and
opened the csah register and took a
small sum of money. The proprietor
asked him what he was doing and he did
not know what he had done. An eXami-
nation will be held soon. and if it is
thought best he will be sent to the asy-
lum.

effects are first class, the costumes
handsome. The singing and dancing
are Of a high order. There is plenty
of clean fun and a lot of pretty girls
with good voices and nimble feet.
Among the people of the cast worthy
Of notice should be mentioned Miss
Louise Moore, who has been tempted
BY the mana gers Of the Wang COM
pany to give up her starring tour and

Miss Louise Moore easily bears the dis
tinction Of being the most graceful, re-

who ever donned mems apparel. Miss
Moore and Mr.. Lett are an unusually
strong pair to find in any one com
pany. Another strong feature Of this
organization is the trick elephant,
which is one quarter of the opera. The
