HELD UP A FUNERAL.
ECCENTRIC PROCEEDING OF TWO
INTONICATED MEN.
With Shotgun They Demanded the
Right of Way-Arrested and Received
Ninety Days in Jail and Fined One
Hundred Dollars Each.

Last Sunday afternoon, while coming
from Garnet, the team conveying the
remains Of Charles Cox was held up by
H. T-iggs and Joe Morton, who had in
dulged in stimulants to such an extent
that they concluded they owned the
highway and were bosses of the road
The gentlemen accompanying the re-
mains We're J. r. Cox and w. T. ALI
son of this city and the driver of the
team, who is an employe of Boyd Bros.
livery stable.
Triggs and Morton, who were travel
ing in single rig, overlook the party
conveying the body on the grade this
side of Flint, and in rather uncere-
monious manner, with violent Ian
guage, demanded that they be given the
right of way forthwith and proceeded
to enforce their orders with the aid Of
shotgun. The grade is narrow and
there was not room on the roadway at
this point to turn out, but realizing that
they were in danger Of being shot, the
driver lost no time in getting out of the
roadway and over the grade.
After passing the funeral party the
drunken individuals halted and would
not permit the funeral to proceed for
fully a half hour, and finally, after
much persuasion on the part of Mr..
Allison, they drove on, after using some
very abusive language and terrifying
the gentlemen having charge of the re-
mains.
County Attorney Josiah Shul1, upon
learning OF the incident, promptly filed
a i'm ppf hn a+f,,
and they were arrested and lodged in
Jail to answer very serious charge.
They were brought before Judge Con-
molly yesterday and sentenced to ninety
days in Jail and fined 800 each
Triggs and Morton are both well
known here, having resided in this
county for many years, and 1t would
seem that liquor is entirely responsible
for their conduct A few months in the
county bastile may have wholesome
effect

Arrival of President Porter-Speculation
AS to the Future of This Property.
President Porter Of the Hope Mining
Company arrived from st. Louis Mon
day. He has been busy during the week
looking after the company affairs Mr..
Porter's visit at this time has caused
considerable speculation, inasmuch as
the Hope is shut down and everybody
is anxious to see the property again in
operation. What the intentions of the
company are is unknown, although
there is rumor that the management
is considering a new process whereby
the baser ores Of the Hope could be sue
cessfully treated. There are thousands
of tons Of this class of ore in the mine,
and should the company conclude to
erect reduction works to treat these ores
by fire il would mean great deal for
Philipsburg. More men would be en-
ployed in the mine than ever before and
the consumption of fuel and other sup
plies necessary would create employ
ment for others who are engaged in

was had, showing quorum present,
after which the council adjourned
