Carries, the sheep Thief, Jumps from n
Train While En- Route to the PEN.
Sheriff Hubbard, who started for
Deer Lodge Monday night with John
Carles. the sheep thief sent up for three
years, lost his prisoner before he got
him even in sight of the state peni-
tentiary. Just after the train left Sill
yer Bow, Carries, who was unshackled,
asked the sheriff's permission to enter
the toilet room. 1t was granted and be
was unhandcuffed. Presently the train
slowed up near where a party Of track
laborers had been at work. The pause
was but momentary. Then it went
on, but 10 Carles appeared. Sheriff
Hubbard waited in patience for five or
ten minutes. when he went to investi-
gate. He found the door to the toilet
room locked and not being able to gain
admittance he went out Oh the car plat
form and found an open window to the
room, which told how his prisoner had
escaped. When the train had slowed
up at the point where the track had
been repaired, Carles evidently availed
himself of the opportunity and dropped
out.
At Gregson Springs Sheriff Hubbard
left the train and sent kilograms along
the road, as we'll as posse. So far no
news has come from the chase of the
convict

Official Conduct of Ex-Postmaster Moore
of Roberts Being Inquired Into.
As the result of report made ten
days ago by an inspector sent out to
look into the matter of certain charges
supposed to have been preferred against
ex-Postmaster J. D. Moore of Roberts,
who was succeeded last January by
Fred Thompson, a federal grand jury
investigation into the conduct and
affairs of the Office under Mr.. Moore s
administration has been ordered, and
H. @. Provinse, the present assistant
postmaster at Roberts, and R. Fl. Dir
lam, also Of that place, were this week
subpoenaed on the case and summoned
to Helena to give evidence before the
United States grand jury now in ses-
sion at the capital city. Mr.. Provinse
departed for Helena on Wednesday and
was followed the next day by Mr.. Dir
lam, both being summoned to appear
today before the star-chamber court.
The exact nature of the charges are not
known, but it is surmised that the in
vestigation now being conducted behind
closed doors relates to the matter of the
cancellation of stamps upon which is
based the income of all incumbents of
fourth class postOtfices.

TWENTY-CENT WOOL.
That Is What Many Observers of the
Market Expect.

That Is What Many Observers of the
Market Expect.
Northern Montana wool was sold last
year at above IS cents. when the mar
ket opened at 8; this year the market
has opened at 1614 and there are many
who expect to see 20 cents paid. says
the Great Falls Tribune. The growers
are in an independent position this year
and are able to consign, if they desire
to do so; the buyers must have wool,
and they freely admit that they expect
to see better prices than last years.
Justice. Bateman e. Co. of Philadei-
phia, in their last circular, openly con-
fess that prices must go up to the i'm
porting point this year, and the buyers
are not attempting to dispute that as
sertion. Edward Porter May. who
represents Jeremiah Williams & Co.,
said the other day, while in this city,
that he expected to have to pay more
than was paid last year, and local
buyer states that he expects 20 cents to
be paid.
The Hill & Bourne clip, from the
Sweetgrass, which has been sold at
16A, while fine Clip, has never been
equal to many others that come to
Great Falls. The Henry W. Davis clip,
at Saco, has been bought, on the
sleeps backs, at Is cents. or Ia cents
better than was paid last year.
All over tlie state buyers have been
out for weeks, offering to buy clips be-
fore shearing; they realize that the
market is advancing and want to get
wool cheap. Few growers have ac-
oepted the offers and by the time the
Great Falls market is in full swing. it
is very probable that II cents will be
the minimum price.

also said he would give me SO for the
watch just to give it back to the bar
tender. I gave him the watch and left
for Dickinson.
This confession of Tracy's aroused
the suspicion Of Conley & McTague and
they determined to fix up a scheme to
see if Kelly was telling the truth
They sent to Oregon and procured two
photographs of Tracy. One, with a
as other photos in the rogues' gallery
and placed OH the wall alongside of
hundreds of others. Kelly was brought
in and told to look over the photo
graphs. After carefully looking over
about 200 he stopped in front Of the
picture of Tracy, gazed at it for min
ute in silence, then said: "That's the
mug"
Another picture showing side view
of Tracy's face was handed to him.
"Why, would swear that's the fellow
who sold me the watch,' said he.
Then he repeated the story, which ap
peared to dovetail into that Tracy told.
The contractors promptly notified the
governor.
1T is a strange story indeed" said
Governor Smith in discussing the case.
lit looks as though there can not be a
particle of doubt about Kelly's inno-
cence and FASTENED to right the
wrong.'
Colonel Tom McTague, one Of the
penitentiary contractors, who is in
town today, said that Kelly has been a
good prisoner and that he had every
reason to believe he was an innocent
man SO far as that crime was concerned.
"Truth is sometimes stranger than
fiction" quoted the colonel as he re-
lated the story to the reporter.

could beat any horse in the city
for a distance of twenty yards.
He was accommodated by Stewart
Polk, who had galloper to pit against
the sprinter. The race attracted
number Of men. The horse and man
started at a pistol shot, and when the
race was finished the man found him
self beaten by fully ten feet and short
