This community was somewhat excited

had resigned az manager OF the Fletcher
Granite Company and was to sever his
connection with the company. A portion,
at least, is true and e. I'll. Richardson has
the management in charge at present.

induced to 60 in business here.

Funeral of Erank Bruce.

Great Falls, April 1.-THE funeral of
the late Frank Bruce took place this
afternoon from the residence of Linden
Terrace and was one of the largest
seen in this city for years. The men
from the Montana Central shops at
tended in a body and there We're pres
ent many others of the railway depart
ments. The services were conducted
by the Rev. E. A. WATSON of the Epis-
copal church and the music was render
ed by choir composed of Misses Trigg
and Conner and Messrs. Eliot and
Coleman. The funeral cortege which
followed the body to it's resting place
in the cemetery was imposing and many
kilograms and letters of sympathy ex-
pressing regret that the writer's could
not attend the funeral have been re-
ceived from many people and places.
Among the people from out of town
who came here to pay their last re-
spects to the deceased were Anthony
Harrity, superintendent of motive pow
err on the B., A. & P, and his wife of
Anaconda.

A SAND COULEE ROMANCE
The License Stood Between Rau-
mig and Happiness.
AND so THERESA Fitted
Left the Man With Whom She Came
Across the Water to Find Pro-
tector in Substantial
Rancher.

Great Falls, April 17.-Though few
would suspect it, Sand Coulee produces
romance as freely as it does coal. Sew
eral good stories in that line have come
from the grimy little camp and the last
one is told to-day.
About five years ago Wolfgang
Raunig, evidently a lineal descendant
of the Bersekirs, left Sand Coulee for
his old home in Germany. When he re-
turned he brought with him hand
some, buxom German girl whom he
introduced to his friends as his
wife, one whom he had taken from
the daughters of the vaterland. Since
that time all outward semblance of
such relations has been maintained.
Theresa was apparently a happy, de-
voted wife, attending faithfully to her
home duties and nursing Wolfgang in
his illness as good wife should do.
Seemingly the Raunig household was
little Dutch Eden with the snake left
out. And it lasted until few short
months ago.
Then Joseph Strong came down from
Geyser. He is a rancher of that place,
but business had called him to the coal
camp and he decided to hnd a boarding
place and remain there through the
winter. The Raunig establishment
pleased him best of all and when he
secured board there he called himself
! lucky fellow. Joe is a pretty fine
looking man, anyway, and after time
it was not strange that an intimacy
should spring up between him and The
resa and that she should confide to him
the fact that Wolfgang as legal prop
ositon was not in it, She had never
| married him in the conventional man
| ner, but when her husband, her first
| husband. had been killed in duel in
| Germany and Wolfgang had come home
! for visit and had taken pity on her,
| as man naturally takes pity on a
| good looking woman in distressing cir
| cumstances, she had cleaved to Wolf
gang and followed him across the seas
| to his home in the new world. But her
real name was Mrs. Theresa Pertz
The intimacy between Joe and The
| resa grew into mutual infatuation
and ended Saturday in a marriage IL
| cense and a wedding. Raunig came to
| a realization of what he was losing,
but although he FASTENED to this city
he could not interfere, and he was too
late, anyway. So, while the happy
| couple We're speeding over swollen
waterways to spend their honeymoon
| at the Geyser ranch. Wolfgang had to
| be content to take himself and his woes
back to his desolate hearth in Sand
Coulee. And to him the camp is more
| dreary and grimy than ever.

HOLY CARPET OF MAMMAL.
Yearly PROFESSIONS From Cairo to Mecca
With Silken Carpets.

Each year there is new rug or
silken carpet made in Cairo and car
ried in solemn pomp to Mecca and care
fully hung over the sacred Kaaba,
above Mohammed's tomb. There are
two professions; the first carries the
carpet from the citadel to the Sadna
Husein mosque, where it is sewn to-
gether and lined and made ready for
the pilgrims. This procession takes
place on April g. and his highneSs, the
khedive, the ministers, high officials
and notables all take part in the cere-
mony.
The train which conveys the holy
carpet and its escort to Suez leaves on
May 16, and usually presents a very
gay appearance.
At Suez the carpet and its guard of
honor are conveyed on board the pill
grim ship along with a fearful rush of
ragtag and bobtail who have no re-
spect for government regulation con-
corning the Egyptian pilgrims. In ad-
dtion to the devout pilgrims, the cam
els and horses, there are always one or
more beggars or buffoons who accom-
pany the caravan, and man or wo-
man to take care of the cats, which are
carried all the way there and back
again.
The mammal is a curious feature of
the pilgrim train and, perhaps, the
most striking. 1t is carried like the ark
of the covenant at the head of the pro-
cession. 1t looks not unlike the ele-
plant hoWdah, in spite of its pyramid
at top. Its frame work is square and
it's covering black brocade richly work.
ed with inscriptions; the sultans thumb
mark and view of the Kaaba are en-
broidered on the front.
The mammal is considered sacred
object by the faithful who jostle the
crowd in their efforts to touch it with
their hands; women let down their
shawls as headveils from the latticed
windows, in order that they may re-
ceive a blessing from contact with it.
Directly behind the MAMMAL there al
ways rides a half-naked sheik who
rolls his head from side to side inces-
sanity.

A ROPE PARTY
Would Like to Get Hold of Beast in
Great Falls.

Great Falls.
Great Falls, April 17.-This afternoon
several little girls returning from
school ran up to Otto Schoonfeldt on
Third avenue north and with much
weeping said that man had been chas-
ing them. They then pointed out the
the little girls We're very positive he
officer Black. who took him to the sta
ton. Further investigation showed
that the children We're mistaken and
the man was promptly set free. 1t hap
pens that about a week ago some full
grown scoundrel made improper pro-
pOsals to one of the children, a girl
about 10 years of age. He was not seen
again and the police have been work
ing hard to effect his capture, but have
not yet been able to catch sight of him.
1t was knowledge of this fact that
prompted Mr.. Schoonfeldt. who has
three small daughters, to take the man
into custody, although he felt doubtful
of his identity. The little girl who was
insulted a week ago was brought to
the station after the arrest had been
made and was asked to pick out the
man who had insulted her from half a
dozen in the chiefs office She said
none of them, including the arrest, was
the man. 1t is to be hoped that the
guilty beast will either leave town soon
or be captured by the police, for should
the offense be repeated, there is a
strong possibility of a tar and feather
party with rope at the close of the
programme.

Great Falls, April 17.-It is reported
that the temporary track laid around
the Big Sandy washout on the Great

ton of the weeks Eastern mail has

made by which the Great Northern will
run its passenger trains over the North
