MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Theories Concerning the Taking or of 7.
X. Bell, July 4.

N. Dell, July =.
Missoula, July lit. r. Bill, the
brother of the unfortunate man who
lost his life on the mornino of July 4
near Eddy, has gone to Spokane to en-
deavor to find some clue to the mystic
rious death of his brother. Additional!
information, obtained since Sunday,
shows that the man who was killed had
on deposit in the old National bank at
Spokane $500. He had drawn out
some money, presumably for the eX-
penses of the trip which his brother
says that he intended to make into
Northern Montana on cattle business.
He was a man who always lived well,
though not extravagantly. He was in
the habit of stopping at good hotels
and always travelled in manner that
became his station in life. He was
never known to have ridden on a
freight train in the way that his death
would indicate. He certainly had no
reason for beating his way in this in
stance. The whole matter is shrouded
in complete mystery. Mr.. Bell will not
return to his home in Calgary till he
has exhausted every effort to find out
the cause of his brothers sad death.
One theory. which has been adj
vanced by an old railway man, SEEMS
probable. 1t is that Bell was spotted
in Spokane by some thugs, who knew
that he naO money. II IS tHS tileoiS
that a band of these murderous fellows,
in an attempt to rob Bell, k He'd him
and put him into an empty box car.
They may have Travelled with the re-
mains till they thought that they had
reached a safe distance from the scene
of their crime and then threw the body
off in such way as to lead to the
suspicion that the man had been acct
dentally killed. Some color is given u
this suppostion by the recent murder
in a box car at Spokane.
Coroner Hayes, when he received the
information that a tramp had been
killed on the train, delegated to Justic
Merritt of Plains the duty of examn-
ing the scene and of sending the body
to Missoula This was done to expedite
matters and to save expense to the
county. When the body reached MIS-
soula there was but 10 cents in money
anywhere upon the person. The re-
port received from Plains Is that TINS
was all that was found when the BODY
was examined. There will be much in
terest in the progress of the inVestlga
ton of the mans brother. and IT Is
hoped that he will be able to solve the
mystery. ...

DESTROYED by Fire.

Missoula, July III. NJ. Keith to-
night received information that the
store building at Martini owned by the
Nine Mile Mining company has been
destroyed by fire. The blaze occurred
Saturday night, and the store with its
contents and a few small shacks near
by were entirely destroyed. The cause
of the fire is not known as there had
been no fire in the building for months.
None of the mine buildings or the mill
were damaged. A small building which
contains considerable powder was for
tunately saved. NJ. S. Cook, the Gus
todian, lost all of his personal effects.
There was but little stored in the store,
and the loss to the company will be
slight.

A MATERIAL INCREASE
Valuation for Missoula County

A CAREFUL ASSESSMENT
Not Altogether Satisfactory to Those
Who Pay the Taxss-Incrsase Gsn-
eral All Along the Line.
The Figures.

Missoula, July 1.-THE report which
Assessor Prescott sent last night to the
state treasurer shows a material in
crease in the valuation of the coun-
ty over the report in 1898. This in
crease is not confined to any single
item, but is general all along the line.
The report indicates a thorough and
careful assessment, and, while Mis-
soula county is not raised in the CLASH
fication of counties in the state, the
increase is one that is gratifying to
those who are interested in the coun-
ty, although it may not be altogether
satisfactory to those who pay the
taxes. From the reports of 1899 and
1898, the following comparative state
ments have been made which will
show clearly where the increase has
been made:
