The house leaders, after making a

A New Pastor Chosen,

Missoula, Dec 1.-THE members of
the Christian church held a very i'm
portant meeting Sunday morning at the
church, at which there was large
attendance. The most important mat
ter before the meeting was the choosing
of a new pastor for the church. A few
weeks ago call was extended to Rev
r. H. Sawyer, who was formerly pastor
of the church, and who is now engaged
with a church in Lower California
Word was received back that the would
accept the call and would be in the
city as soon as he could make arrange
ments. A few days ago the members
received word that the church of which
he is now pastor would not let him go,
and doubled his salary. Mr.. Sawyer
then sent word that he would not come
to Mssoula. At yesterdays meeting
several letters were read from pastors
all over the country, but a letter from
Rev. Edward Oliver Tilburn of the
Christian Tabernacle of Butte was con-
sidered and he was extended call.
The usual method of making arrange
ments with the state board for a pas
tor will be pushed, and it is expected
that Mr.. Tilburn will be in Missoula in
very short time. Mr. Tilburn is one
of the leading preachers of that de-
nomination of the state and the mem
bers of the Christian church of this city
are to be congratulated on securing
him for their pastor.

Both Cases Settled.

Missoula, Dec. 11.-Maior John b.
Catlin, who is now a resident of Mis-
soula but who was for several years;
Indian agent of the Blackfoot agency,
has received word that the case against
himself and his own case against the
United States, have been dismissed.
When the major was agent of the
agency it was his duty TO make quar-
terly reports to the department at
Washington. In one of the reports the
major was unable to produce Il voucher
fo~ an item that he had charged up to
the government and the entire report
was thrown out, it being a rule of the
government that all yep orts not accom-
panied with the necessary vouchers,
that particular item would be thrown
out. The clerk who had the duty of
checking Major Catlin's report, mis-
understood the rule and threw the eng
tire report out. This placed the major
in an unfavorable light as he was sued
by the government for the amount due
on his report and it would fall on his
bondsmen to pay it. The major then
filed a suit for a counterclaim of q
quarters salary due him. The two
cases have been pending for about
three years and a short time ago the
government offered to compromise the
matter by each withdrawing their
cases. To release his bondsmen Major
Catln agreed to it and short time
ago received word that the cases We're
settled and the matter is nov out Of
court. Major CatIin will lose several
hundred dollars by the transaction,
but he thought it best On account Of
his friends.

They Stole His Shoes,


Missoula. Dec. 11.-If there is one
man in Missoula who needs the sym
pathy of a host of friends. it is Herr
Siegel of the Montana hotel This
morning, while in the office of the ho-
TEL two men entered. and stepping up
to Mr.. Siegel, said that if he would
stand a treat that when they got their
checks from the railroad company they
would reciprocate. Mr.. Siegel set them
up, and in few minutes, got ready to
eat his breakfast. AS is his custom, he
always takes comfort when eating, and
to do so removes his heavy shoes and
puts on slippers. The men all this time
were quite friendly with Mr.. Siegel
and when he removed his shoes, set
them down in the office and went in to
eat The men sized up the shoes and
found that they were the size they
wore. and took them away with them
They went down to Anderson's shoe
store on Woody street and sold them
to Mr.. Anderson. In a short time Mr..
Nyberg, who was in want of a pair of
shoes, stepped into Anderson's, and
seeing Siegers shoes there, bought
them. Nyberg put on the shoes and
when near the Helena hotel met Mr..
Moaller, who, knowing of Mr.. Siegel's
loss, recognized them and told Mr..
Nyberg of the affair. OF course Mr..
Siegel only buys the best and Nyberg
insists holding on to good thing when
he has it. The men have left for parts
unknown, but will be given the glad
hand whenever they call at the hotel
again.

bear healthy children. The prospective
mother should use every precaution to
preserve and foster her health. Not
alone for the sake of the little one to
come but for her own sake. A perfectly
healthy woman is in no danger and in
very little pain at her time of trial
There must be due preparation for
this time. Nature makes the prepare
tory period three fourths Of year and
women who take the hint from nature
and use the time properly need have no
fears of the outcome. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is medicine designed
to cure all distinctly feminine ailments
and taken during the period of CESSATION
it renders childbirth easy, safe and COM
paratively painless.
1t is the invention of DR.. R. v. Pierce,
of Buffalo, N. Y, regularly graduated
physician and skilled specialist in the
cure of all diseases of woman.
Mrs. Orrin stiles, of Downing, Dunn Co., Wis,
writes: II cannot praise your Favorite Pre-
scription' enough, for have not been as well for
five years as now am. Ir-July last had baby
boy, weight II lbs. was only sick short time,
and since got up have not had one sick day."
Sick women can consult DR.. Pierce by
letter free of charge. Every letter is held
strictly private and sacredly confidential.
Designing men work on women's
feelings, by advising women to write
to woman who understands wonian's
needs" It is useless to seek advice about
disease of any woman who is not ply
stefan. So far as known no qualified
woman physician is connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment.

CAUSED BY A SAND BOARD
Fifteen Cars We're Completely Demol-
ished-The Accident Occurred
at Sand Pits-No One
Injured.

Mssoula, Dec. ia small wreck
occurred this morning about $3.50 on
the Northern Pacific at point near
De Smet and about six miles west of
Missoula. Freight No. 81. due in Mis-
soula at 1880 this morning, was the
unfortunate train. The wreck took
place near where the company is TAX
ing out sand for use along the road,
and is known as the sand pits. The
immediate cause of the accident could
not be learned, but it is supposed to
have been caused by sand hoard
dropping from box car. About 10
box cars went over the embankment
and We're completely demolished. No
one was hurt, and it is considered for
tunate that the wreck is not worse.
The wrecking crew left Missoula about
noon and had the track repaired SO
that No. 2. from the west, passed
through Missoula on time.

Sher1f's Party Driven Of at the Point of
of a Gun.
Missoula, Dec. 11.-What might have
resulted in bloodshed this afternoon
was averted by one side of the party
being unarmed. The trouble was over
the Martin ranch in the Big Bend dis
trict.
About three years ago Martin sold to
a number of ranchers in the district a
right-of-way through his land which
was to be made a public road. After
the road had been used for few
months Martin closed it up again. The
farmers who had paid for the road took
the matter into the courts and secured
a decision against Martin. Martin
would not open the road. however, and
the county commissioners instructed
County Surveyor Hughes to proceed to
open it. Hughes called upon the coun-
ty attorney and Deputy Sheriff Gar
rity to go with him this afternoon and
open the road. Together they went
down to the ranch. When they got
there and were about to start the open
ing, Mr.. and Mrs. Martin and two chill
dren appeared on the scene and refused
to let them. The county officers in
sisted upon doing so, but the Martins
returned to their home and secured a
rifle each and reappeared on the scene.
They told the officers if they laid z
hand upon the fence they would shoot.
The officers could do nothing else but
return to the city, as they had moth
ing to defend themselves with but one
revolver, in the possession of Deputy
Sheriff Clarity
Tomorrow the entire sheriff's Office
force will arm themselves and, with a
few extra men, will go to the ranch
and open the road. Resistance is ex-
pected, and if necessary, the Martins
will be placed under arrest.
