Treasurer George Walter Oakley of the

Sioux City special. He says:

Tod & Co. of New York will bid it
in as trustees for the bondholders But
Tod & Co. are not railroad men and
will hardly care to keep the property.
When the firm acquires title it will
probably adopt the same course as
a man does when he forecloses a mort
gage on house. The house would be
offered for sale as soon as the mort
gage had been foreclosed. So will the
road. The highest bidder will get it.
It may be resold within week after
the foreclosure, or it may remain in
Tod & Co.'s hands for year My own
idea Is that J. J. Hill will finally get

and the terminal properties here, will
be carried out. This was the scheme
which so attracted Mr. Hill in the early

be used as a nucleus for further build

j. Kennedy Tod has been Mr.. Hills
broker for many years. and that they
are directors together in the Great
Northern and Baltimore & Ohio, and
that Mr.. Tods uncle, John S. Kennedy.
is a warm personal friend of Mr. Hill
and is also interested with him in the
Great Northern. In view of his other
big projects the Short Line matter is
a rather small thing for Mr. Hill to
take up now. Still. if his system is ever
extended to Colorado points it will be
by way of Sioux City and the Short

WORK AT BELT IS RESUMED
MANY MEN ENGAGED AND THE
TOWN is HAPPY.
Whistles Blowing and Bells Ringing-To
Ship Coal at Once-Soon to Be
in Full Blast.

Great Falls, May 16.-This morning
and about 1875 men went to work and
many others made application for work
at the office. AS soon as they can be
used the men will be sent into the
mines and at the end of 20 days there
will be full force of men. At the
office there was a file of men waiting to
have their names taken, and Superin-
tendent Kinney and Bookkeeper
OBrien were kept busy all day.
Two trains of empties will be run
out of here tomorrow morning to be
filled. and from this time on there will
be no more trouble.
The movement to open began last
night, when M. Donohue ran out to the
camp in a special car. The whistle of
his train and the announcement of the
good news caused a general celebration
throughout the camp and soon every
whistle was blowing and every hell
ringing. The shut down meant more
to the camp than can be expressed in
mere words, and the people are happy
at the reopening of the mines in the
same proportion. During the entire
trouble not only the people of Belt,
but those Of the adjacent country and
in this city who know anything at all
about the circumstances, have felt that
the company was in the right, and
trusted that the men would come to
their senses quickly. 1t is indeed a
cause for rejoicing to this city, as we'll
as for Belt, for much of the trade If
the camp comes here and the Belt pay
roll means much to Great Falls mer-
chants

.PLAS PRICE IN TROUBLE
Arrested by Stock Detectives on
a Serious Charge.
HIS FRIENDS INDIGNANT
1t Is Asserted That the Proceedings
Against Him Partake of the Nature
OF Persecution, Pure and
Unaduiterated.

Great Falls, May 16.-Apparently
there are some peculiar features con-
nected with the arrest of p. M. Price
at Saco. Price, who is well-known
throughout that part Of the state as
''Plas" Price, is young and prosper
Gus stockman of Beaver creek, or was
until within week, when three stock
inspectors, armed to the teeth with
Winchesters, As Colts and other NUM-
tons of war descended upon his dwell
ing and took him prisoner. They drove
him, according to accounts, at the muz-
zles of loaded Winchesters to Hinsdale,
in Valley county, and thence he was
shipped to Helena. He is charged with
having killed heifer or calf or a
yearling steer or something equally as
valuable in Montague county, Texas. Is
years ago. Dark rumor hints at murder
of a fellow being, but whether the peo-
pie of Texas esteem the crime of killing
another mans cattle greater than kill
ing the other man or whether the evil
dence in the murder case is very tiimsy
is not stated.
The Glasgow Gazette, which is,on the
ground, has it's own theory about the
arrest and voices it in these decided
tones:
"Plas Price has been in this part of
Montana for over 10 years, and has al
ways borne the reputation of being an
industrious, honest and upright young
man. Why such precautions should be
taken with such a man is beyond all
comprehension. AS one of his friends
remarked: There amt ere a woman in
Valley county who couldn't take a mop
stick and make him jump into the
river
Mr.. Prices friends assert that the
whole transaction is merely scheme
to get him into trouble, TO get out of
which will cost him about all he has.
THE whole plot grew out of the
trouble in the state legislature last
winter, when Valley county's represen-
tative demanded an investigation of the
affairs and modes of doing business of
the Montana Stock association. Dur
ing the heat of the investigation the
association saw fit to go down in its
'estray fund and dig up half the price
of car of cattle previously shipped
by Mr. Price and which he, like many
other small stockmen, was unable to re-
cover. Of course, influence was brought
to bear III order to secure this payment,
and hence Mr.. Prices present trouble.
1t is understood that the stock associa-
ton has agreed to pay all costs OF
transportation and prosecution if the
Montague county courts will just prose-
cute the case.
ITO the people who know Mr. Price
the affair bears the aspect of a most
diabolica outrage and gross injus-
tice. He has an enviable reputation
and consequently host of friends,
who are doing and will continue to do
everything in their power to help him
out of this trouble"

"KalOrama," the summer home of Prof.
Frank IL. Dukesmith, containing some fifty
acres or more, situated on the suburbs of our
little city, and which has commanding
view of wood and dale and lovely mountain
scenery, has been undergoing quite num-
Der of Improvements during the past several
weeks. The barn has been enlarged and re-
modelled, the artesian we'll cleaned and put
in repair, a new tenant house erected, and
the surroundings in general have been given
a thorough overhauling and brushing up,
adding much to the Qttrac;ii Cness of the
place. The farm has been stocked, new and
improved mplements added-from a hoe to a
grain drill-and the major portion of the
land is to be set in choice fruit-some GOO
trees. improvements, we understand, on a
much larger scale, are in the prospective for
next spring. The residence proper is then
to be remodeled, n large double verandah to
encircle the same, lawn is to be laid out
in drives and walks, beautified with shrub
berry, ornamental trees and lovely beds of
choicest flowers. Prof. Dukesmith, who is
a representative of large newspaper syndi-
cate in Chicago at a muniicent salary, in
company with Mrs. Dukesmith, who has
been sojourning with her husband here, left
for their western home to-day, to the regret of
their many friends, not to return until next
spring, when the improvements now con-
templated will be carried out, which will
make "Kaloramu" one of the prettiest and
most commanding homes in old Jefferson.
