FALSE PRETENSES.
j. p. McNulty Arrested by the Police.
Handy With the Pen.

Great Falls, April 81. P. McNulty
was arrested this afternoon by Chief
Guerin, charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses. Two or three
days ago he arrived in this city from
Kibbey or Monarch, where he claims to
have been working as blacksmith. He
seems, under the circumstances, to be a
too handy with the pen to hide his light
in that trade. Shortly after he got here
he had check cashed at Strain Bros
1t was drawn by George Bouthery for
$50 and payable to James McDonal at
the Great Falls National bank. No one
knows either the drawer or McDonal
and the bank is the least informed on
the subject, but McNuity succeeded in
getting SAL on the piece of paper. Then
When he was found out he tried to
square himself by giving chattel mort
gage on some property in Monarch be-
longing to George Croft. and there is
where his trouble commenced. This
fraud was speedily discovered by tele-
phone and later he was taken into Gus
tody and now lies at the county Jail
The officers believe that the original
check was written by McNulty and 1t
is known that he tried to cash a check
for $40 on Thursday night, which was
not straight.

CHICAGO MARKETS.
Produce.

Chicago April S.-A little advance at
Liverpool, Notwithstanding the weakness
here yesterday, together with reports of
the present condition of growing wheat
which indicated a very poor prospect for
the ultimate yield, gave wheat good
start. May opened at 72Aa723sc, but inter-
est Jagged and downward tendency soon
set in. Remembering past experiences on
the eve of an important government re-
port, traders were not disposed to be
heavily long in view of the report due
Monday.
Offers to sell Were in excess of the de-
mand. An improvement in the weather
proved a bearish factor also the reports
of seeding operations having begun to be
circulated
A cablegram from Buenos Ayres stat
ing that the Argentine surplus of wheat
was about a. 900 900 bushels was another
revelation that tended to disbursement.
The ordinary news connected with the
movement of the crop was not influential
except that a small increase in the visible
was indicated for Monday.
With such an array of bearish news, ac-
companied by selling orders. May slipped
off to 7114c about half an hour from the
close. The estimate of Argentine's eX-
portable surplus was discredited by ca
blegram to one of the heaviest exporting
houses in San Francisco, stating that the
surplus would not exceed $1,000 900 bushels.
and that incessant rains since harvest
had badly damaged grain. This statement
was not received until near the close OF
the session and the market was then go
ing down with too great an Impetus to
be arrested instanter. May wheat de-
clined to Tic and closed at 1011sc.
Rather feeble spring condition. together
with the heaviness in wheat, caused corn
to rule heavy and set lower. There was
good inquiry for shipment, but buyers and
| sellers could not come to terms to any
considerable amount. May corn closed u
1&c lower.
Rather favorable reports of spring seed
| ing in Minnesota and Nebraska caused a
| break in oats. Longs liquidated freely.
May oats closed A@ssc lower
| Better shipping demand for lard and

GREAT FALLS REJOlCES.
The Boston and Montana Works Will
Probably Open Monday.

Probably Open Monday.
Great Falls, April S,-People in this
city are rejoicing over the prospect of
a speedy opening of the Boston e. Mon
tana smelter. The news came early
this morning that the men would be
allowed to go back to work very soon,
according to an agreement arrived at
between the parties to the suit, and it
was also announced that James P.
Stanford was to act as a deputy re-
ceiver, having charge of the works in
this city. This news was confirmed
shortly after, and while the sympathy
of this town has been entirely with the
men who were fehting the Heinzes,
the prospect of a large number of men
going back to work and the resumption
of pay days was in itself thing
worthy of rejoicing over. Receiver
Kinds arrived on the afternoon train
and was met by the officers from the
sheriff's force, and with Mr.. Stanford
the party proceeded to the smelter,
where no trouble was anticipated or
found in getting possession. Those in
terested in the affairs are reticent to-
night. but it is likely that the works
will open with all of the old men on
Monday, and as soon as the fume
which caved in when the heat was
turned off can be repaired, the entire
force will he at work.
The closing of the smelter meant
much to this city. Since that action
was taken the town has been more
than dull. Although so many men We're
out of employment and free to appear
on the streets, it has been quiet and
orderly at all times. but the cessation
of the pay roll caused gloom in every
circle. Mr.. Stanford is the most &C
ceptable representative who could be
chosen.

ROCKS ARE DANGEROUS
improvements to Be Made in the
Kootenai River.
sWORK is UNCOMPLETED
Three Vessels Have Been Wrecked.
Owners Believe That Obstacles to
Navigation Are Too Great
to Be Overcome.

Z Great Falls, April S.-Capt. Harry
Taylor of the United States corps of
sengineers writes the customs office in
this city that a portion of the appropri-
alton made June 3, 1896, for improve
ments in the Upper Kootenai river has
ssbeen used in blasting out threatening
Erocks. Since that work has been per-
formed changes in the current have
made other rocks equally threatening,
and the letter states that the balance
of the appropriation will be used this
summer in removing these later OBJ
q stacles of navigation. In the past two
years three vessels used to transport
ore have been wrecked on this river
and the owners have never replaced
them, believing the difficulties of nav
igation were too great to be overcome
This means that a tonnage of 1856
tons has been reduced to 220 the j.
B. Farrell being the only boat of any
size now plying on the river. In spite
of these disadvantages the trade on
that line in the year of 1898 amounted
to nearly 100000, very equally divided
between imports and exports.
This city is directly interested in the
matter, as much of the ore brought
down by the boats is smelted here. and
had the river been improved thoroughly
the amount of ore would have been
at least doubled Collector David G..
Browne has been very much interested
in prosecuting the work of improving
this water way, and it is largely due
to his zeal that the improvements of
the past two years have been made.
His office has also been officially no
titled of the appointment of Drury j.
Tallant of this city to be immigrant
inspector at Coutts. The appointment
Z is made by Terence V. Powderly, the
commissioner of that department, but
the appointee reports to the collector
as ex-officio commissioner of immigra-
ton. The salary is said to be good and
the duties of the office light and not
combining, mostly to do with the pre-
ventien of Chinese smuggling and vio-
lations of the alien contract labor act
Notification has also been received OF
the appointment of Charles w. Burton
CT Helena to be Chinese inspector, with
official station at Helena. He will also
report to this customs office. The APP
pointee is a brother of y. T. Burton
of the Burton settlement in Teton coun-
ty and the appointment is one which
will please many of the lucky mans
friends

RUMORS REVIVED.
A Gang of Italian Laborers Brought In
by the Great Northern.

Great Falls. April S.-The arrival of
three cars of Italian laborers at an
early hour this morning has set afloat
all of the old stories of improvements
in the line of the Great Northern.
These particular men, however, who
are in the care of padrone. are bound
for Cascade, where the railway COM
pany is improving its roadbed by put
ting some wing dams into the Missouri
river. Color is lent to the old story of
a cnange in the line which would throw
the track across the Missouri river at
a point below the big falls by the fact
that considerable changes are being
made at Verona, in Choteau county,
which might tend in that direction.
Should such work be done the road
would then follow the south bank of
the river. CONNECTING with the silver
smelter spur and running to the pres
ent station. 1t would probably con-
tinue up the river on the south bank to
the mouth of Sand Coulee and there
cross the river by another bridge. The
change would facilitate the handling
