The LiOn Of Lucerne.


Travellers who go to Lucerne are
always interested to see the Lion of
Lucerne, a figure of lion hewn out
of rock on the side of high cliff
which borders a small park Beneath
is sheet of water in which the lion is
mirrored as in a glass. 1t is of colos-
sal size, spear in its side showing
where it is wounded, yet with death
so near it strives to protect a shield
bearing the feur-de-lis of the Bour-
bons, which it holds in its paw. Thor
waldsen was the sculptor, and the
"I4ion of Lucerne" is monument to
the brave Swiss guard which perished
at Paris August 10, 1893, in defense
Of the Tuileries. Louis XVI. had for
bidden the Swiss guard to fire upon
The mob, but the 900 men composing
It dared to do so in defense of the pal
ace. The infuriated mob massacred
every one of them. Upon the shield
which the hon holds are the names Of
the brave men who were officers Of the
guard.

A VERY OBLIGING TAILOR.

Administered Well-Dsserved Rebuke to
Customer with his Ready Chalk.
A well-known London tailor was
spending his holiday at seaside re-
sort, and one morning on the pier he
met customer.
Good morning" said the latter.
Good morning, sir" replied the
tailor, who then passed on.
'Stay just minute, want to show
you this coat" replied the other; "ft
doesn't seem to fit me at all"
The tailor was a man of ready wit.
He stopped, looked carefully at the
coat, and then drawing piece of
chalk from his pocket, said
"You are right; the coat wants to
be taken in here, and let out there,
and shortened here, and just a bit
heightened there's" and at each "here"
and "there" be made heavy chalk
mark.
"Now," he continued, as be saw a
curious crowd had gathered round,
eff you will just take that coat up to
London, marked as it is, my manager
Will see that it is altered to your sat
isfaction."
The tailor, who did not like to have
his holiday thus interrupted by busi-
ness, had adopted this method to mark
his displeasure. The customer lost
no time in bailing cab and driving to
his hotel, where the chalk was soon
rubbed off-London Tit-Bits.

On GoOsmier, when he was lodged
in Jail, was found "A pocket knife with

the flesh torn where the blade turned.
Another wound was In the neck, u

lungs, causing internal hemorrhage,
which resulted in death. In addition
the mans sleeve and shirt were badly

Another murder mystery has been
added to the annals OF crime in Lew
istown. The last hardly compares
with the murder Of Moody twoyears
ago, for in that ease the murderer
was never found, but is not unlike
that affair In some respects.
Saturday evening. between fifteen
and thirty minutes after six O'Clock,
Alfred lnkel was stabbed seven times
by August Goosmeir, and died from
the effects Of his wounds about one
hour later.
Very little IL known concerning the
affair. The men came together on
Third avenue near the back OF the
Montana Hardware Co.'s store, en-
gagged in some alteration and scutll-
ing and Inkel was stabbed by Coos
mier. The only eye witness to the
crime, so far as is known at this
writing, is Ben Sturman, son of Chas.
Sturman, the freighter, n boy aged
perhaps nine years. He says that as
lie crossed from the Power Mercan-
tile Co. TO the Montana Hardware
Co. he saw the two men and heard
them cursing each other, parting a
moment later, but it being dark he
saw no blows struck, nor does he
know who was the assaiant.
Ed. Harvey and John Foster were
coming from the Lewistown hotel,
when they heard the curslng and up
on reaching the corner saw the men
part. Mr.. Harvey went toward the
man remaining, the other having
moved down the street, while John
Foster remained ON the corner. Mr..
Harvey knew the man well, having
worked with him and Immediately
endeavored to learn what the trouble
was and who had hit him, for at that
time he did not know Inkel was stah-
bed. In attempting to assist him
Harvey felt the coursing OF the warm
blood and Inkel told him that he was
stabbed and requested that he get a
doctor. Others assisted and Inkel
was taken to the Office OF DR.. Atchi-
son, where he later died. Heremain-
ed conscious for some time and told
who IL was struck him, describing
the old man as the "old German with
whiskers who was working iUr
Schneider"
Under Sheriff Slater, who had been
summoned, went for the German and
found him without trouble, talking
to another man three blocks distant
from where the fight had occurred
He was brought 10 lnkel's side and
positively identified by the dying
man, who, as he saw his assailant
endeavored to raise himself as II de.
string to strike the fellow.
Few knew the Germans name, as
he spoke very broken English, but
yesterday we learned his name was
August Goosmier. Goosmier nc.
knowledged the crime but pleaded
self defense, alleging Inkel had struck
him first and that he was forced to
defend himself with knife.

old, strong and much the superior

MONTANA LEADS IN WOOL.
This State Has Surpassed All Others In
Shipments.

onlpWehtS.
A Great Fall correspondent OF the
American Sheep Breeder, gives the
following interesting figures regard
ing Montana's place among the
sheep-growing states:
Montana has passed to the head of
the class OF sheep-growing states of
the Union jumping from fiithjustfour
years ago. The figures for the year
1899 are as follows: Montana, $780,
600; New Mexico, 100000; Ohio,
1900, 900; Oregon. 2,4O0,0 200; Texas,
., 400, 900; Wyoming, 2.25O, 900; Utah
1000, 600; California, 2,25O,OOO Mlchi-
gan, 100000. In 1875 Texas stood
at the head, with California second
and Ohio even with her. Great Falls
IL the central point OF the wool trade
of Montana. We have shipped this
season, up to August, 30, 200, $50
pounds OF wool. All this wool has
passed through the Great Falls wool
exchange, since it's opening just six
weeks ago. The quality of onr wool
is shown by the fact that the aver
age price of this wool was 15k cents
the highest being l6}l cents. And
this average has been made in spite
of the fact that our season has been
the worst known in the history Of
the state on account OF the bad con-
dition OF the wool as result OF the
open winter with the excessive dust
and the lack of water during the dry
open winter. This has given n bad
appearance to the wool and as well
has made it unusually dirty, thus in
iuring il in the buyers estimation,
and of course, equally to the grow
er's dissatisfaction.
The present season has exceeded
last years shipments by 100000
pounds the total being as above
stated. All the business has been
SO well and carefully done that not
single package has gone astray Of
all that has been sent in. All the
wool here is baled-that il. three
bags are pressed into one under u
powerful press, by which the ship
ping charges are reduced IL cents u

pounds ia place OF 10000 when In
common sacks. Shearing here does
not begin until June, when the
shearers arrive in gangs with their
machines on the way from Texas,
working on contract and shearing
for cents head, at which price
their average income for the season
Is equal to So 900 a man In the gangs.
We began business in the sheep line
here in ISL, when 1000 sheep came
into the territory. 1t took seven
years to get 100000 and incight years
more we got to l,OOO,OOO, increasing
100000 yearly up till now, when we
have $500, 900. which give us about
$4,000 pounds ri wool year, equal
to nne-eleventh of the total amount
produced in the United States.
About all the available lands in the
state are now occupied. except some
in the northern counties, where some
good locations with ample water are
still unoccupied. The present occu-
patton Of the southern part OF the
state Is limited to the water supply.
But II artesian wells are made there
are many desirable ranches unoccu-
pied in the south. So far artesian
wells have been successes, water be-
ing secured wherever the experienced
well dggers have located the ground
for them. w. ii. S.,
