AN OFFICIAL HOLD-UP.
Had to Pay Extortionate Fees in Spite of
an Agreement.

an agreement
Great Falls, July 15.-The following
tale of an official hold-up comes from
Fergus county: In August of last year
Joseph Hopkins and j. G. Martin Of
Cottonwood brought to Lewistown and
had examined by Deputy State Veteri-
marian Hilger band of $50 horses,
which they afterwards drove to near
Devils Lake, N. D., and placed on the
market. Mr.. Hilger had given the band
a clean bill of health, and as the goy-
errors of the two states, Montana and
North Dakota, had agreed that certi-
ficateS from one state should be recog-
nized in the other, no trouble was an
tcipated from the Dakota authorities.
But it seems that down at Devils Lake
lives a deputy veterinarian by the
name of w. F. Crewe, and he immedi-
ately made demand upon Hopkins and
Martin that they pay him 81 per head for
examination and S. per diem besides,
total of $1S5. The young men demurred,
and instead Of wiring to the authorities
here attempted to stand off the would
be hold-up. But to no avail, and after
they had been served with papers they
settled as well as they could, Crewe ac-
cepting two notes, one drawn by one
Ezra Mirusich for 800 and Endorsed by
Martin, a note of Martin and Hopkins
for $45, and the balance of $50 in cash.
By what authority a state officer ac-
cepted notes in payment of any such
charge as demanded Is a matter which
is now receiving the attention of the
Montana authorities. Mr.. Hilger has
taken the affair in hand, and the at
tention of Veterinarian Knowles and
Governor Smith has been given the
matter 1t seems about the most cold
blooded hold-up on record.

pulse was due to reports of too much rain
IN the West and Northwest for the prose-
cution of harvesting. This prop failed
early. and after selling at 73SsT73Isc. Sep
TENDER started on a decline. from which
there was no rally. Gables were indiffer-
ent, receipts heavy and many bears were
recruited from yesterdays bull ranks
The wet weather was principally in the
winter wheat belt, but receipts were
heavy enough to check buying. The cash
demand was light. The Northwest sold
wheat in the local market Fine weather
talk and a prospective large increase in
the visible helped short selling. Septem-
Der declined steadily to 72s.c and closed at
72a4 0727sc.
There was considerable selling of Sep
TENDER corn, which opened a shade over
yesterdays close. Weakness followed in
sympathy with wheat. September closed
a fraction lower.
Oats were firm and &c higher at the
opening. but declined with the break in
corn and wheat, closing a shade under

The heavy run of hogs caused a decline
in provisions. September pork dropped
off 1212c, lard I12c and ribs &c.

ELECTRIC STORMS
Have Caused Great Trouble With Tele-
graph Wires.


Great Falls, July $3.50 far as
Northern Montana is concerned this
has been a peculiar summer. And the
peculfarities extend in several direc-
tions. A day may be warm and pleas
ant up until about o'clock, and then
from that time on there is electricity
and thunder, and usually more or less
rain. The electric light wires and
those of the telephone systems and the
street cars bubble over with the fiery
fluid, and one may see it sparkling
from every post and insulator. The tel
ephone wires flash and snap in the
houses and the same thing goes on
out of doors. With the telegraph Of
fees it means an entire cessation OF
business. The operator may be receiv-
ing dispatch from st. Paul when all
at once the operator at the other end
seems to have gone crazy or to sleep,
or something. His sending is a mean
ingless tumble of sounds at times, COM
pletely die away and leave the receiv-
ing operator in a frenzy. Later he may
be heard sending the end of a long
telegram or beginning new business,
but that does not help out any. The
wire splutters and Kisses, and several
nights it has been impossible to get
any message through from this city
to Anaconda, or so far as that goes,
anywhere else.
One of the local operators, in speak,

NAME RECALLS A TRAGEDY.
Stream in Colorado Christened by Span
iards, The River of Lost Souls.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
When Spain owned all Mexico and
Florida, as the vast region of the Mis-
sissippi valley was called long before
the United States had an existence as
a separate government, the command
ing officer at Santa Fe received an or
der to open communication with the
country of Florida. For this purpose
an infantry regiment was selected. 1t
left Santa Fe rather late in the sea-
son and wintered at point on the old
trail now known as Trinidad. In the
spring the colonel, leaving all camp
followers behind him. both men and
women, marched down the stream,
known to the Mexicans as the River
lie Purgatoire, but to the Americans in
Colorado, through which the river flows,
as the "Picketwire," which flows for
many miles through magnificent can
yons. Not one of the regiment re-
turned or was ever heard of. When all
hope had departed from the wives,
children and friends left behind at
Trinidad, information was sent to San
ia Fe and a wall went up through the
land. The priests and people then
called this stream lei Rio de las Ami
mas Perdtas" (the river of lost SOULS.
Years after, when the Spanish power
was weakened and French trappers
came into the country under the aus
pieces of the fur companies, they adopt
ed a more concise name; they called
the river lie Purgatoire." Then came
the great American bullwhacker. Ut
terly unable to twist his tongue into
any such Frenchified expressions, he
called the stream with the sad story
"Picketwre," and by that name it is
known to all frontiersmen, trappers
and the settlers along its banks.

LIGHTNlNG'S FREAKS.
1t Killed the Horse which Sherman Was
nrivfpv


Great Falls, July 15-The electrical
storms which of late have visited this
town nearly every day shortly after
the dinner hour in the evening have
played peculiar pranks. They have
rendered the telegraph wires useless
and several times have cut off all
communication with the outside world,
but it was not until last night that they
showed exactly what they could do.
A man named Sherman, who makes
living by collecting old iron, rubber
boots and other junk around town, was
driving home on Tenth avenue north
and Ninth streets last night when the
electrical storm rose. He was talking
to John Mohs at the moment, and
just as he started to leave stroke of
lightning came that killed the horse
he was driving, stunned Sherman and
also "a horse which was being led be-
hind the wagon. The wagon was not
damaged. At the same time a horse
that was picketed at Seventh avenue
north and Eighth streets was knocked
down and two of his front teeth ex-
tracted without pain. The horse, on
recovering "a few minutes later, did a
war dance and became tangled up with
the picket rope, from which he was
loosened by Jacob Knutson later.
r. From the ranch of j. S. Huntoon,
near Utica, comes the story that a
neFueT, sheltered Dy MS cdDln from the
storm, was struck by lightning only
few nights ago. When he recovered
enough to take stock he found that one
shoe had been torn off, the other shoe
burned up and the sock still on fire.
Both feet were badly burned. but no
further damage was done. These sto-
ries are difficult of belief by those of
little faith, but as they are accompa-
MED by promise of affidavits to their
truth, they must be accepted.

Demurrer Sustained,

Great Falls, July 15.-The demurrer
In the case of Jarl VS., Auerbach, the
contested aldermanic election in the
Third ward, was to-day sustained by
the district court. and this practically
disposes of the case so far as this court
is concerned.
Two Neihart prisoners were released
to-day. They were the defendants in
the cases entitled the state VS.. Steve
Peterson, and the same against Walter
Olsen. The offenses against the state
were of minor Importance, and, accord
ing to the testimony submitted to-day
to the district court. Justice Abbott
made out the complaints after he had
heard the cases and passed Judgment.

Financial Review.

New York July 15-The condition of the
associated banks of New York shows a
gain of $5,636,275, which brings the total
surplus up to $40. $50. This was the re-
sult of a rather drastic liquidation in
loans, that item having decreased no less
than 81, $50, 100.
A coincident contraction of $15,27 100 in
deposits reduced reserve requirements by
s3,S1S 900, and this, added to the gain of
s1,s1s, 900 in specie. made the expansion in
surplus as stated. The statement is much
more favorable than preliminary esti-
mates had forecasted. The known move
meSits of money indicated that the banks
had lost more money than they had gain
ed, the treasury absorption being re-
sponsible for their opinion. But it is
possible that the previous statements, as
set forth last week in this review, very
much moderated the real position Of the
clearing house institutions.
In the same manner the gains from the
interior for the current week were
probably larger than expected In any
event, the reserve has been materially
strengthened; also it Is still much below
the average. Whether the statements for
the next week or two will continue TO
show cash gains cannot be asserted posi-
lively, but it Is known that portion of
the July dividend disbursements, espe-
cally those by the government, have not
yet been re-deposited in banks. The treas
ury, owing to customs conditions, has
been gamer of late. If reports from the
banks exhibits now being published
seem to show that they are, it is difficult
to see where New York can lose much
money in that direction during the early
fall, Reserves all over the country are
exceptionally high and a drain on New
York heavy enough to advance interest

of the engagement. White-faced, but
upright, he stood for moment looking
down at that black, forbidding outline
in a by-ilth of a thicket-all that re-
manned of the last of three promising
sons. STOPPING, he lifted the hat from
the dead boys face, and, gazing at
him with moist eyes, said:
We'll done, boy!"
Then replacing the hat he turned on
his heel and marched stiffiy away.

DISTRICT COURT.
Andrews Wants a Dissolution
of Partnership,

Alexander Andrews Wants Dissolution
of Partnership.
Great Falls, July ia suit trife
more odd than usual was filed in the
district court yesterday. Alexander
Andrews asks for dissolution of part
nership, an accounting and an injunc-
ton to keep his partner, John Maitland,
from disposing of the assets of the firm,
which Is engaged in the cattle bust
ness. He also asks that Maitland be
made to pay all of the outstanding
debts of the firm. He says that they
started in business, each putting in the
following shares. Maitland put up 100
acres of land which he owned and the
use of $50 more in which he had a con-
tract interest and 160 more on which
he had filed a timber culture. More
than this. he put in 100 head of cattle
and IA horses and other assets. On
his side, Andrews wrote out his note
for $500, secured by q mortgage on
his interest in the business, which was
about to begin on Maitlands capital
He complains that Maitland has taken
charge of the books and the partner
ship business, and since the first of
the year has not spoken to the plain
tiff, and he thinks it time that there
should be a legal investigation into
his conduct.
Frank Hoffman was released from
the county Jail to-day under habeas
corpus proceedings. He Is the man
who was charged with threatening and
taking a shot at man at Belt some
time ago. He was tried in Justice Fo-
leys court at Belt and convicted, but
appealed to the district court and was
released under bonds. He gave bail,
but later on one Of his suretfes became
frightened and obtained an order from
Justice Foley committing Hoffman to
Jail. AS the case had been appealed
the jurisdiction had passed from the
justice court and Imprisonment was
therefore illegal.
