Work Smoothly,

Missoula, May 1S.-The gasoline en-
gines that operate the machinery Of
the new coal docks of the Northern
Pacific have attracted considerable at
tention from mechanics in this city
There are two of the engines, each of a
capacity of is horsepower, ard they
work as smoothly as if they had been
in operation for long time, Their
silence and the readiness with which
they are made ready for use are mar
wells to those who are not familiar
with the machines and there have been
many visitors to the engine house at
the coal docks to see them operate.

A DISTURBING ELEMENT
Thought a Ghost Was Haunting
the Block.
THE MYSTERY EXPLAINED
Troubles a Newly Married Man Has in
Learning the Ropes, Such as Get
ting Up Early and Lighting
the Fire.

Missoula. May 19.--There has been
dire CONSERVATION among the dehlzells
of the Hammond block during the past
week or so. They have had the idea
that their place of residence has been
inhabite by a ghost that IS IN the
habit of disturbing their slumoers IN
the early morning hours and making
them lose their morning maps. For
some time there has been manifest
desire on the part of many of the resi-
dents in the block to seek other quar-
tiers. They have been awakened IN the
morning by the most unearthly noises,
and they have been unable to sleep at
all after o'clock. They had been con-
sidering the advisability of calling a
meeting to determine whether or not
they were safe IN remaining in the
block, when it was discovered that the
cause of their alarm was one OF me
simplest matters in the world. All OF
their anxiety was needless, and they
might have saved themselves consider
able worry had they investigated the
affair at first. The only trouble in the
block was that John Deffebach was
not accustomed to getting UP early IN
fire He has not been recorded in past
years among the early risers of the
city and nobody suspected him of be-
ing the cause of all the early morning
disturbance in the block until close
watch was kept.
When the matter was carefully IN
vestigated. it was found that John was
the only disturbing element in the block
that has always been so peaceful.
He was trying to get on to the ropes.
That was all. For several mornings he
fell over the kitchen stove and when he
got used to the location of the stove,
he found it iompssible to light the fire
and to make it burn without the for
| mality of waking everybody up by his
maneuvers. He let the fire go out
several times and then had to build it
all over again. This was what made
the people think that there was a
ghost in the block. Now that he has
been married for a couple of weeks.
| John is doing better and the quiet Of
| the block is not as rudely disturbed
| as it was for a time. There are morn
| ings, however, when things do not
work smoothly that the rest and
quiet of the block are disturbed, but
| this is not often and John is receiv-
ing the congratulations of his neigh
bors upon having learned the ropes sc
| quickly.

Expressions of Regret.

Missoula, May 1S.-The announce
ement of the departure of James A..
Weed supervisor of bridges and build
ings of the Rocky Mountain division
of the Northern Pacific railway, has
caused general expressions of regret.
Mr.. Weed has been one of the most
force of the Northern Pacific railway
that ever came to this city, and when
he leaves here he will take with him
the cordial good wishes of a host of
friends that he has made during his
stay in Missoula. 1t is a source of
much satisfaction to know that his
change of base is virtually promo
ton and it is hoped that he will find
the same good fellowship in his new
field that has been readily accorded TO
him here.

has declared his intention of migrating
to the coast as soon as he can getaway.
and then settling down on clam bank
and filling up on the bivalves that are
esteemed highly by the members OF
the Clam Club. All that is lacking is a
companion in his happiness, and he
has been promised by Ban" that he
will have this companionship as soon
as the present term of court is ended.
Ban" had the misfortune to be called
upon the jury. and that has put an end
to their plans for the present. AS soon,
however, as Ban" is relieved from the
arduous duties of juror the pair will
start for the coast and their friends
here do not expect to see them again,
unless their appetites fail them.

That Reminled Him.

Missoula, May 19.-In speaking of the
abundant crop of big caterpillars that
this wet spring has furnished, H. c.
Myers said to-day: There are a good
many of them here this year, but they
are few compared with the lot that we
ran into while travelling through the
Salmon country, in Idaho, 25 years ago.
Those fellows were about three inches
long and there We're so many of them
that we had to stuff our ears with
pieces of cloth when we went to sleep
to keep them from crawling into our
ears. The dogs and horses were not
able to sleep at all in the night time
Since then l have had no use for the
beasts"

Many old soldiers now feel the effects

This will be the last of the scene of so
much good sport both in bicycling and
in baseball. Some of the prettiest rae
ing ever seen in the state has been done
on this track and it will be a long time
before the holly contested relay races
between Anaconda and Missoula are
forgotten. There was also some good
baseball played on the grounds at the
park and some. men have played there
who are now among the most famous
in the national league.

The Plan Approved.

Missoula May 1s.-The suggestion of
John Mcguire as to the naming of the
mountain peaks around Missoula finds
general support and 1t is likely that
the state university will take up the
matter in earnest and will submit in
short time a list of names that will
be acceptable to those who are in ia
vor of the plan. There are many prom
inent peaks in the neighborhood of Mis-
soula and many more in the range OF
the Bitter Root that should have suit
able names and any movement that
will secure a proper nomenclature OF
these peaks will be satisfactory to the
np0Dle

had but one surety. the Eastern Trust
company, and was barred by the stat
ute of limitations.
Judge Purdy dismisses the objection
to the bond by quoting the forty-thlrd
section of the Act of March 10, 1882,
which says: mo immaterial variation
from the forms given and prescribed in
and by this act shall vitiate or render
void any proceedings in which said
forms shall be used" and the judge
adds that. while the condition or the
plaintiffs bond is not in .he language
of the statute, the general requirements
of the conditions cover all that is en-
braced in the statutory condition.
With reference to the question of the
statute of limitations, Judge Purdy
says the case of the Commonwealth
VS.. Patterson, 8 w. 515, shows that
limitations to an action against sur
cites is not applicable to an original
administration bond.

Bond Is Valid,

Judge Purdy filed an opinion yestcr-
day declaring valid the bond given by
j. S. Carter as administrator of the

indebtedness. Michael Miller, George
Kinback, A. r. Raub and Warren &
Wolfe, executors of the Throop estate,

When the administrator sued them on
the Stewart bond, they tried to have
letters of administration revoked by at
tacking his bond on the ground that Il
