a better selection for the post. His voice
is melodious and superb. and his enuncia-
ton distinct. He is attentive to business
and polite to all inquirers. 1t Is worth
coming a long way to hear him call out
in voice that awakens the echoes of the
great station:

With due dignity Michael responded, in
a clear. loud voice: 1.-THE mkt train for

The woman and boy appeared satisfied,
but they fingered near, and in about five

once more asked:

with great clearness:

An Interesting Case.

Missoula, July 27.--Justice of the
Peace Hayes had a very interesting
case before him to-day. 1t is case
where man has a piece of work done
and finds that it is not just as he wants
it, and then refuses to pay for 1t.
Frank McCreary, who owns the houses
across the Rattlesnake, made arrange
ments with E. r. Kennedy to tear
down one of the buildings and use the
lumber to fix up the other, Kennedy
finished his work and applied to Mr..
McCreary for his pay. McCreary re-
fused to pay the balance that was due
him and Kennedy filed a suit for the
amount due with Judge Hayes. Mr..
McCreary then flied a counter suit for
damages to the amount of $67, claiming
that the contractor had failed to finish
the building as agreed to in the con-
tract. Judge Hayes, after hearing all
the evidence in the case, decided to rem
der his decision on next Saturday after
noon. Some very pretty points of law
We're brought out during the trial.

INCREASE OF STOCK.
Preliminary to the Absorption of the
Central by the southern Pacific.


San Francisco, July 27.-At a meeting
of the shareholders of the Southern Pa
cfic company, held to-day, there was
an affirmative vote upon the PROPOSE
ton to increase the company's capital
stock from $3.50, 000, 900 to 5000, 00O, GOO. At
the meeting $4,000 shares were repre-
scented, more than the necessary two
thirds.
The decision to increase the capital
stock was approved, as it was part of the
scheme for the financial ganization If
the Central Pacific and it's consolidation
with the Southern Pacific. The stock
holders of the Central Pacific are to sur
render their stock in the Central Pacific
treasury and they will receive an equal
amount of Southern Pacific, share for
share.
The Central Pacific stockholders will
receive as bonus for the exchange
certain amount of Southern Pacific
gold bonds, approximately $4,000 000
For issuing the latter, the Southern Pa
cific in turn gets, besides Central Pa
cific common stock, a twenty million
dollar issue of the latter company
cumulative preferred stock The Cen-
trails directors have also voted for the
exchange of stock between the two
corporations as mentioned and have
approved of the 25,000,000 of new
mortgages for the Central. These mort
gage bonds have all been pledged py
the Spier Banking company, and are
to be delivered to the purchasers, most
of whom are in Europe, as soon as the
securities are engraved and properly
signed in New York.

1t Is Metropolitan.

Missoula. July 27-The city never pre-
sented more metropolitan appearance
than it does since the city has placed
the names of the streets on the differ
ent corners. In the past it has been q
difficult matter to direct a stranger to
any part of the city without these signs,
but now 1t will be an easy matter. 1t
is hoped now that the city has fulfilled
its part toward the starting of the free
delivery system that was to have been
started several months ago, that the
government will not cause any further
delay on it's part Why it has taken as
long as it has, is a hard question to
answer, as they have held two exami-
nations for carriers and clerks and
would surely beableto find two that will
be able to carry the mail out of those
that took the examination.

A CASE Of PERSECUTION
Mrs. Perrot Arrested Charged
With Abduction
OF HER OWN DAUGHTER
The Arrest Made on the Complaint of
the Child's Grandfather-An In
human Trlck-No Chance
of Extradition.

Liverpool, July 27.-On the arrival of
the Dominion line steamer Cambroman at
this port this morning Sergeant Collins
of Scotland Yard and Sergeant Bell of
Liverpool arrested Mrs. William Y. Per-
rot of Baltimore on the charge of the alb
duction of her daughter from Baltimore.
Mrs. Perrot was accompanied by a mill
tary-lookng man and the party had taken
passage as Mr. and Mrs. Pierce and
daughter.
Pierce is Captain Blood, a brother of
Lady Colin Campbell Mrs. Perrot did
NOT deny her identity. She had not antic-
pated arrest and was terribly surprised
at the incident. The arrest was effected
quietly, but there was painful scene be-
tween mother and daughter when they
began to fear separation. The police reas-
sured the mother for the present.
Captain Blood took charge of the lug
gage and accompanied Mrs Perrot to
London
Mrs. Perrot was arraigned at the Bow
street police court this afternoon and re-
manded for one week. The child will re-
main in the custody of her mother.
When Mrs. Perrot, her child and Mr..
Blood arrived at the Euston station they
were greeted by Inspector Frost and the
correspondent of the associated press. To
the latter Mrs. Perrot said
This is pure case of persecution, L
assure you. Some of the proceedings are
utterly unwarranted. If taking my child
away is an indictable offense, then / am
guilty perhaps legally; but every mothers
heart will be with me in this trouble. We
had no idea of this further attempt In a
long series of houndings If / return to
America it will be never to leave it with
out my child. We are perfectly devoted,
as you can imagine"
Mr. Blood said: There is no mystery
about this case. The statement that T.
was travelling as Mr.. Pierce Is untrue. L
Travelled under my own name; / am a very
dear friend of Mrs. Perrot and her child
and propose to stand by them. l con-
slider Perrot, the grandfather, scamp to
play this inhuman trick. l have engaged
the best extradition barrister in London
to fight this case
Patrick Rose-Innes, who appeared for
the prisoner, said to the correspondent of
the associated press after the hearing:
There is not the slightest chance Of ex-
tradition in this case. The English law
says abduction must be against the laws
of both England and the United States.
Mrs. Perrot violated the American law
only"
Mrs. Perrot and her child have gone to-
Fulham, where they will be the guests of
Lady Colin Campbell.
