tons Eldorado, where he has acquired
some promising interests.
Mr.. Dexter says the town now has a
population Of about 2G9o Inhabitants and
is growing rapidly. New arrivals go in
every day and few go away. With the
spring big influx of prospectors is ex-
pected and Mr.. Dexter is of the opinion
that at the end of this year the town will
have a population of at least 5000.
The Republic, he says, is the only mine
that is shipping out ore, and is the only
property that has mill although orders
for number of milling plants have been
given and on the opening of spring the
erection of these plants will commence.
Mr. Dexter is of the opinion that with
proper milling machinery ten or twelve
properties that are now being developed
will pay handsome dividends.
The Mountain Lion, which is conceded
to be one of the good properties of the
camp, is being developed on an extensive
scale, and the results are very promising.
The machinery for a compressor drill
plant is being put in position on this
property.
The great distance from the railroad so
miles, handicaps the small-scale operator,
but there is much railroad talk, and the
construction of a road out will make
many properties, that are now prospects,

LONE WOMAN
HENRY RICHARDS OUGHT TO SELL
GOLD BRICKS.

Henry Richards is in the county Jail
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses He was arrested this af-
terroon by City Detective Murphy, and
according to the story of his misdeeds as
narrated by those against whom he has
offended Henry ought to go into the gold
brick business, or touch the bank of Eng
land for a few thousand and then write
book and enjoy life la the Bidwels.
Some time since Richards was an in
mate of Halls hospital. While there he
was nursed by Mrs. Hattie Greig. Dur
ing the interesting period of GONZALES
cence he cultivated the acquaintance of
Mrs. Greig with assiduity. Mrs. Greig is
young and impressionabe Richards was
persistent. He wormed himself into her
confidence, and told her hard luck stories.
He showed her letters from his people in
San Francisco, who he said were rich, but
in his need he was too proud to appeal to
Richards kept this UP until the end, and
when he was discharged Mrs. Greig re-
posed much confidence in him. That was
just to his liking. He told he would like
to go home but did not possess the neces-
sary money.
Mrs. Greig had some money, the saw
ings of her salary as nurse al the hospital.
Richards would not borrow from her. he
was too proud to do that, he told her.
But if she would advance him some mon-
ey on a draft on his people it would be a
great accommodation, and an act of
friendship which he would remember
for ages. 1t would also permit him to go
home.
She was glad to accommodate her
draft. drawn on w. B. Isaacs of San
Francisco, his uncle, he said. The draft
was for $75 but he told her if she would
advance him $40 she could keep the So,
for her trouble. She did so and accom-
panied him to the depot, and saw him
purchase a ticket for which he paid $40.
Then she saw him get aboard the train
and bade him goodby.
Richards did not depart, however. He
simply went through the car and got off
on the other side of the train Later he
disposed of the ticket. A few days after
his supposed departure Mrs. Greig met
him on the street He did not know her.
Then she realized that she had been
duped. In due time the draft came back
unhOnored. Mrs. Greig then placed the
matter in the hands of Detective Murphy.
When Richards was arrested he was cul-
tivating the society of another woman.
He admitted his guilt and said he hoped
to pay back the money some time.

The Former Says the Latter
Assisted in
DOING HIM UP FOR $4,000
Suit Instituted to Recover Judgment
For the Am0unt--Charges
Fraud.

j. a. Riddell brought suit against Geo.
L. Ramsey today to recover judgment for
$500. Ramsey is cashier at the Com
merclal National Bank of Bozeman.
In his complaint the plaintiff states
that during 1896 and the following year
c. e. Roach, Charles Suiter and himself
were partners in business and were en-
gagged in the work of erecting the School
of Mines building, for which they had
the contract; that from July of 1896 until
March 1897 the firm kept large sums Of
money on deposit at the commercial Ma
tional bank of Bozeman; that the money
was for paying for material and labor
necessary in the work of erecting the
building mentioned, and was deposited
under an agreement with Ramsey that
it should be carried in an account to the
credit Of the firm.
Further, that between September of
1896 and March 1897 the defendant
wrongfully and unlawfully and for the
purpose of defrauding the co-partnership
of Riddell & Roach ana the plaintiff by
converting to his own use large sums OF
said money on deposit entered into an
agreement and conspiracy with Roach
and Suiter under which he and they drew
large sums of the money belonging to the
firm and converted said money to their
own use contrary to the rights of plaintiff
and the agreement entered into by the de-
fendant; that Ramsey well knew at the
time the money was Withdrawn that 1t
was not being applied to the payment OF
any material or labor for the School of
Mines building: that the defendant and
Roach and Suiter kept drawing from the
- L., p1yn, md
converted it to their own use that Ram
sey had full knowledge of the illegal and
fraudulent withdrawal of said sums of
money from the bank and actively coop
Grated with Roach and Suiter in the deal;
that Ramsey and Roach and Suiter con-
spred together to prevent the plalntlil
from having knowledge of the wrongful
conversion of said money and did, IN ac-
cordance with said agreement and con-
spiracy and by means of false and frau
dulent representations conceal the same
from plaintiff.
Riddeu further says that in March OF
1897 he became the owner OF the rights
of Roach as the latter retired from the
firm. On the 26th of November, 1898, the
partnership between Suiter and himself
was dissolved and Suter assigned all the
accounts to him.

straining w. H. Young, f. Augustus
Heinze, j. X. Heslet and w. A. Clark &,

For I25 Hours.
Vowed Not to Eat Until His

STOOD BY HIS VOW.
Under a Religious Strain
Aroused at a Revival.
A WO0dSon County Man Nearly
Starved to Death.

Burlington, Feb. 17.-There is a re-
viva1 in progress at Stony Point, on the
line between Coffeyville and WoodSon
counties, that is attracting much atten-
ton and which is causing great re-
ligious excitement. The meetings are in
charge of Rev. Mr.. Prather of the Yates
Center United Brethren church. Several
conversions have been made. The most
impressive feature of the series occurred
this week.
On Wednesday, February 8, Mr.. Will
liam Davis declared that he would fast
until his daughter Belle was converted,
and he stood by his vow. Every night
special prayers were made for the girl S
salvation, but she remained obdurate
and showed no signs of wanting her sins
special prayer was held at the Davis
home. Some time between the close of
the meeting and supper time the young
lady professed conversion. Then and
not until then did Mr.. Davis break his
long fast. He went for 125 hours with
out tasting food, but when he went to
supper Monday night he broke the fast
very thoroughly. He was growing very
weak from his long abstinence from
food and could not. have stood it much
longer.
Revivals are also being held in the
u. B. and Christian churches at Gran
dali. A few days ago the United Breth-
rem had a baptism in the creek near
there and two persons were immersed
1t was necessary to cut the ice to per-
form the baptismal ceremony, but no
ill effects appear from the cold bath.

THE roRRENs LAND SYSTEM.

The Chicago Record says: 1.-THE law
for the regulation and transfer of land
titles according to what is known as
the Torrens system is now in actual
operation in Cook county. The law has
been approved by the highest court of
the state"
The Torrens system was designed in
australia for the twofold purpose of
reducing the cost of transfers of title
of ownership and also of perfecting title
las modified for operation in Illinois the
first step to perfect title is to make ap-
plication to the clerk of the circuit or
superior court of the county in which
the land is located to have the title to
land registered The application is re-
ferred by the court to one of the ex-
aminers of the registrars office, who
makes a careful examination of title
and reports upon it. The court then
reviews the work of the examiner and
af it is approved, the registrar registers
the title as provided by law. The owner
Is given certificate of title which be-
comes incontestable after two years.
The Record adds:
when land is once brought under
the operation of the act transfers there
after may be made upon payment of
the simple fee of SO for registering the
transfer and issuing and registering the
new certificate of title
The charge for the original registry is
S24, Of which SIS is for examination of
title. This examination does not have
to be repeated, and unless contested
within two years is invulnerabe to legal
attacks. The Illinois law creates an in
demnity fund to meet cases where per-
sons who had equitable claims to own
ership of land, and for sufficient reason
did not prefer the claim within the spec
t6ea two years, may be compensated

WALKED IN HIS SLEEP.
Mcpherson Man Leaves Train and
Wanders in Blizzard Several
Hours-Awoke Almost

Hutchinson, Feb. 17.-Henry Hart
ford, who was in the city yesterday, tells
a story of a young sleep walker who
left a train at Medora and came very
nearly freezing to death. 1t is a most
remarkable case of walking in sleep.
Ernest Sits, young man from Nc
Pherson, wandered from a Rock Island
train at Medora, Saturday night, during
the blizzard, while asleep and after
walking around three or four miles in
the terrible cold awoke just in time to
save himself from freezing to death.
Sits, who is about 10 years DID, had
been receiving treatment for his eyes at
the Stewart hospital in this city. He
took the Rock Island train Saturday
night for Mcpherson, and being much
fatigued from the operation on his eyes
he soon fell asleep. He is a somnambu-
list, and has often walked in his sleep.
During a spell of this kind he left the
train at Medora and started off down
the Rock Island track. The thermome-
ter stood at 81 degrees below zero and
it is miraculous that he did not perish
in the blizzard. Crossing the Rock Is
land trestle he followed the Frisco
