SUES EXPRESS COMPANY
BANK WANTS PAY FOR LOSS
BY ROBBERS.
As Bills Were Unsigned It Is Claim.
ed Liability Cannot Exceed
Value Of Production.

~ E- EG-rEE
st. Paul, Sept. IA special to the
Pioneer Press from Helena, Mont,
says: The National Bank of Mon
tana today brought action in the dis
trict court against the Great Northern
Express company to determine the
liability of that company for $40. 600
of unsigned notes consigned to the
bank and secured by the Great North
ern train robbers at Malta last July.
Action is brought to test validity of
the act of 1892 which provides that
unsigned currency shall be recogniz-
ed as money. The express company
alleges that the act is unconstitutional
and that is liability cannot exceed
actual value of the material and
workmanship in the bills. On the
other hand the bank claims that the
notes had a value equal to their face
value and that the express company
is liable for the full amount. The
question has never been in the courts.
It is understood that the action will
be transferred to federal courts and
will eventually come before the SUI
preme court.

SHAMROCK II, HAS THRILLING
EXPERIENCES.
MISSED COLLISION
Struck By a Forty Knot Gale
the Yacht Weathers It
Safely.

New York. Sept. 12-Shamrock II
had two perilous experiences while
trying her sails in the vicinity of
Sandy Hook today. She was accom-
panied in the excursion by the steam
yachts Erin and Giralda, the press
boat Unity and the tender j. A. Law
renee. The wind was fresh from the
start, Shamrock had sailed at a 70
knot clip through Gedney channel on
the starboard tack, putting her lee
rail under at times during the squalls.
She had gone about and eased sheets
to starboard for the reach home. The
Giralda's captain eveidently not real
izing the Shamrock's great speed. at
tempted to cross her bow. Captain
Sycamore of the Shamrock was I'M
able to keep the yacht off because of
the press boat Unity under her lee.
To clear her he almost had to gibe
the yacht. The men jumped for the
port back stays to straighten them.
The main boom was already swing
ing over when the Giranda under full
speed fairly crossed Shamrock's bow
and the danger was over. Not more
than SO feet separated them and if
Shamrock had hit her she would UNI
doubtedly have sunk her.
At 1:50 p. m. when off the Hook
returning to the bay, a squall struck
Shamrock. For Is minutes the wind
blew at a 40 knot gale and the yacht
healed over to an alarming extent.
The stays were quickly lowered and
the yacht eased to outride the gale
in safety. When the squall struck
Shamrock it caught her abaft and put
her Gin iron" for a few minutes and
then taking the full force Of it she
laid down until her deck was half
under. water to leeward. Before she
fairly recovered the wind caught her
on the other side and heeled her
down harder than ever. The big mast
never buckled, but stood the immense
strain wonderfully well.

at bay a crowd of neighbors, while
the great bulk of his property went up

concealed in a hay stack in a near

ITS LAST BULLETIN.
Northern Pacific Crop Report for Vel
iowstone Valley. Il

The Northern Pacific has issued its
last crop bulletin for the season.
Reports from agents along the line of
the road in Montana indicate that the
stormy weather. Of the past week or
ten days has been general through
out the state and that as a result har-
vesting has been delayed to "a consd-
cradle extent. Indications are that
the yield Of grain all along the line
will be heavy. In the vicinity of Liv-
ingston it is expected to be consider
ably larger than last year From the
Yellowstone valley the following re-
port is made:
"Threshing not completed on ac-
count Of the unfav0rable weather;
cold and raining past few days; aver
age yield CT wheat, % to 80 bushels
per acre; oats, 40 to As bushels; hay,
an average crop; in some localities
farmers will harvest three crops of al
falfa; rain of past few days will be
of great benefit to fall ranges; no
threshing has been done in the vicin-
ity of Livingston. Last years grain
yield averaged 35 bushels per acre;
there will be at least ten per cent in
crease this year. Horr reports thresh-
ing about completed; wheat will yield
80 bushels per acre, and oats 81
bushels per acre" (,

HAVE NO EVIDENCE.
District Attorney Says Emma Gold
man May Remain in Illinois.

TIC Mdy n0tIdtH III lIl0OlS.
Buffalo, September, 12-The dis
trict attorney here announced
publicly this afternoon that he had
no evidence against Emma Goldman
and that unless some turned up no
requisition upon the State of Illinois
would be made for her. This does not
mean that the bottom has dropped
out of the conspiracy theory. 1t sim
ply means that no evidence has yet
been secured to connect her with the
crime. If she is released she will
be kept under closest surveillance
and it will be easy for the authorities
to place their hands upon her, if she
is wanted later. There is hope here,
however, that some way will be
found to hold her at least until the
investigations now in progress by the
secret service people in all the prin-
cipal cities where anarchists organi-
cations exist are completed. She was
arrested wholly upon the responsible
ity of the Chicago police, under the
general instructions sent out by
Superintendent Bull to %apprehend all
persons who might have knowledge
of the attempted assassination. While
no evidence has been found against
the Goldman woman, the government
is satisfied that Czolgosz crossed her
path and in due time it is believed
that whatever connectio, if any there
We're, between them will be discover
ed.
Secret service men will trace Czol-
gosz's movements back step by step.
One of the things which is desired
is a complete report of the lectures
which the presidents assassin said
inspired him to commit the deed.

II have taken Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
and have never used any thing in my
life that did me the good that did, "
says County Physician George W.
Scroggs, of Hall county, Ga. Being
physician l have prescribed it and
found it togive the best results" If
the food you eat remains undigested
in your stomach it decays there and
poisons the system. You can prevent
this by dieting but that means starva-
tion. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests
what you eat. You need suffer from
neither dyspepsia nor starvation. The
worst cases quickly cured. Never fails.
