break the robber crossed the track and
commanded him to hold uD his hands.
Hoge did SO, dropping his lantern in the
action. The fellow then took him by the
collar, marched him to a dark place and
went through his pockets. The highway
man next turned Hoge about and told him
to go hence and to stand not upon the
order of his going. Hoge did SO.
The hold-up was reported to the police,
but as Hoge could give little or no de-
scription of the fellow, it is hardly proba-
Bile that he will be captured unless he
happens to be gathered in for a vag. This
is the second hold-up that has occurred in
that immediate vicinity, the other one
taking place about two months ago.

SAM PRAMENKO ASSIGNS.
One of Anaconda's Pioneer Merchants
Goes Out of Business

One of Anaconda's Pioneer Merchants
Goes Out of Business.
A surprising announcement in business
circles is that Sam Pramenko has made
an assignment for the benefit of his cred
itors. Judge M. J. Fitzpatrick has been
named as assignee. Mr.. Pramenko is one
of the pioneer merchants of Anaconda,
having been in business here for many
years. He conducted a general grocery
business and in connection carried a large
stock or market goods, vegetables, fish
game and the like. His place of business
was on East Commercial avenue It has
always been the general impression that
Mr.. Pramenko's business was in pros
porous way. The reason of the assignment
is said to be Mr.. Pramenkos book ac-
counts, which are said to run up to an
enormous total, and his inability to make
collections promptly.

of Sound Mind

of Sound Mind.
A commission in the district court yes
terday examined into the sanity of Mrs
Ann Edmondson, who was brought up
from Deer Lodge Saturday night, charged
with being insane. The charge of in
sanity was preferred against her by Nat
Newman, her son-in-law.
The commission found the woman to be
of sound mind and ordered her released
from custody. Mrs. Edmondson is an old
lady, being more than 70 years of age
She is weak and feeble, and this proba bly,
is the cause of her peculiar actions, which,
it is alleged, she INDUCED in in Deer
Lodge. Mrs. Edmondson has two daugh-
tiers residing in Silver Bow county. She
has been tried for insanity in that county
also.
All that appears to be necessary for the
old lady is a pleasant home with proper

represented the creditors at large.
Hon. John f. Reynolds, II. o. Watrous
and Charles Horton, representing vari-
Gus of the claimants. assisted Mr.. Stu
art Hon. L. n. Willard appeared for
the bankrupts.
The purpose of the hearing is to as
certain, if possible. if there is any
property other than that already in the
trustees hands that can be secured for
the creditors.
Tucker & Maxey failed in November
owing $3.50 Their assets consisted of
book accounts to the extent of S1,S0O
and a stock which brought $500 at
sheriff's sale. To find out what has
become of the property represented by
the difference between $4,000 and $2,7GO
is the purpose Of the examination.
Tucker, the senior partner, was on
the stand all day. He denied that they
bought goods Of any character that
could be secured on credit and sold
them for whatever they could get for
them in cash, but admitted that they
had paid previous outstanding bills in
goods secured on credit.
Mr.. Stuart brought out by his ques-
tiOns that baled hay and diamonds
were among the commodities which
the firm bought on credit, and while
Tucker was looking up to the ceiling
for an explanation of what had become
of the diamonds, Mr.. stuart sought to
help him out by suggesting that possi-
bly, they got lost in the hay.
The creditors will endeaVor to show
in the criminal courts what has become
of the hay, diamonds. etc.
Two rulings establishing precedents,
in bankruptcy proceedings, were made
by Referee Van WCrmer. One is that
in the examination Of bankrupt, the
| witness need not answer any question
that would tend to criminate himself.
| The other denies the creditors the right
to demand that one partner shall not

CHANGING TICKETS ON CARS.
Bill TO Be introduced in Legislature
to Prevent the Offence.

Representative Timlin, of the Fourth
legislative district will introduce a bill
in the house at Harrisburg next week,
which is of interest to the hundreds
of miners in this district as well as
thousands throughout the state. 1t is
a bill making 1t punishable for persons
TO change tickets on cars in the mines,
which has been practiCed for many
years i'm the coal regions. There has
never been a law on the statute books
of this state relating to,this offence.
The text OF the measure is as fol-
lows:
An Act, making 1t felony to wlfully
and fraudulcntly take from any loaded
mine car the miners ticket bearing the
name or number Of said miner, attached
to said car, and substituting another
ticket upon which appears another
name or number, for the purpose of de-
fraudng the miner out, of money owing
him for mining said coal.
Section l. Be il enacted by the senate
and house of representatives of the com
monwealth of Pennsylvania in general as
sembly met, and it is hereby enacted by
the authority of the same. That if any
person or persons shall willully take from
any loaded mine car in any shaft, drift,
mine or slope within this commonwealth,
or standing outside of the same upon the
railroad connected herewith, the min
er's ticket attached to said car upon
which shall appear the name and number
Of the miner, and shall substitute another
ticket upon which shall appear another
name or number for the purpose of de-
fraudlng said miner from the money
which may be coming to him from the
partnership, coal company, or owners Of
said coal by reason of his mining the
same, shall be guilty of a felony, and
upon conviction shall be sentenced to un-
dergo an Imprisonment for any period
not exceeding two years and to pay fine
not exceeding five hundred dollars both
or either at the discretion of the court.
The bill was prepared by District
Attorney John r. Jones. 1t can not
come under the head of larceny by
bailee, robbery or embezzlement, and
therefore separate act is required
to cover the crime.
