The sale OF $4,000 of Portsmouth per
cent. redemption paying bonds by the
CITY Council last night at such figures
as never were known around this sec

Helena, Feb. 4.--'rhe state has just made
about one of the largest bounty payments
on record. State Auditor Poindexter has
sent out warrants to the amount of $50, :
6SS. This will pay bounty claims register
ed with the state board of examiners up
to the lst Of last May. Even a larger call
than that could have been issued as some
money had been received in the bounty
fund since the state board of examiners
allowed the claims to the amount named
The last monthly report of State Treas
urer Collins showed that there was $72-
2aS.51 in the bounty fund. The amount
in excess of the call will go a long ways
towards insuring another call in short
while.
The largest claim presented in this last
call was that of the Stockmen's National
bank of Fort Benton. That concern held
bounty claims against the state to the
amount of S913S. The First National
bank of Miles City was next with &c. 495
The American National of this city was

Helena, Feb. deputy United States
Marshal Sam Jackson returned this
morning from Mammoth Hot Springs.

known as "Scotty the Horse Thief" who
was recently arrested and brought here
to answer to the charge of killing game

Knowles turned over to the federal au-
thorities of Wyoming. Crawford was
turned over to the commanding
officer at Mammoth Hot Springs. He has
announced his intention of pleading gull
ty United States Commissioner John
Meldrum, who possesses extra judicial
powers will sentence him.
Mr.. Jackson says that the present cold
spell in the park is almost unprecedented
The thermometers have been as low as
45 below. Snowbrds have been frozen
dead in great numbers. something almost
unheard of. The intense cold has driven
the big game out of the mountains and
into the clearings. The animals appear
to be dazed by the cold and are remarka-
bly, tame. AS the officer and his prisoner

place in this city to-day. The Canadian
members of the high joint commission

wa arrived David Mills, A C. Blair,
William Fielding and Clifford Sifton,
members of the Laurier cabinet J. S.
Tarte, another member of the cabinet.
is expected to arrive later. The minis
ters from Ottawa met Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier and the high joint commissioners
at the Waldorf-Astoria and a long con-
ference was held. 1t was said that the
matter under discussion was connects ed
with the proceedings of the interna-
tional conference, and it was presumed
that Sir Wilfrid Laurier. before decid-
ing upon some possibly important point,
desired to personally confer with his
ministers and had adopted the plan of
meeting in New York as being more
convenient. The conference will prob
ably extend over until Monday, when
Sir Wilfrid Laurer and his fellow mem
bers of the commission will return to
Washington and the other members will
return to Ottawa.
