been the scene of several remarkable
cloudbursts within the past two days.
One of the most serious ocurred Fri
day afternoon at Landon and Muir
rays ranches, on Black Tail A solid
wave of water, the roar of which was
heard two miles away, rushed down
from the Sweet Water hills and with
in a brief space converted both
ranches into lake. Within twenty
minutes after the first rush of water
there was depth of four feet all over
the meadow land and nothing was Wis
ible but the buildings. Mr.. Murray
estimated his loss at $1,000 to stand

or five feet high, destroying what few
fences and improvements were in it's
path, and still another downpour oc-
Cured on the Beaverhead bench,

Shows Some Improvement in
the Case Of
THE ELOPING COUPLE
From Northport, Washington. Marks
and Richards Were Released
From Custody Saturday.

Frank Richards and Mrs. Marks,
who were arrested here sometime ago
on complaint of Mrs. Marks husband
at Northport, Wash, from where she
eloped with Richards, were released
from custody Saturday night. The
eloping couple have been in charge OF
the officials here since the arrival of
Mr.. Marks, shortly after their arrest,
and were held until the authorities in
Washington could get requisition pa
pers when they would be taken to
that state to stand trial on a charge of
adultery.
Mr.. Marks on his arrival here first
tried to persuade his erring spouse to
return to his arms and when she re-
fused he grew very wrathy and threat
ened the couple with all kinds of pun
ishment. He returned to Northport
with the determination to get out the
necessary papers to secure their re-
turn to that state. Undersheriff Nc
Carthy notified the Washington au-
thorities several days ago that unless
further orders were received by Sat.
urday night to hold the couple they
would be released and on getting no
word by the time stated they were
turned loose. Just what their future
plans are they will not state but it is
probable they will continue to live in
Kalispell or vicinity.

Double-Breasted Coat.

Severely plain, double-breasted coats
are much worn by young girls, and
have the merit of being eminently SER
viceable as well as stylish. The May
Manton model shown combines the
box front with the half fitted back and
regulation coat collar and is, by far
the smartest design Of the sort that
the season has produced. The original
is made Of tan colored kersey cloth
with smoked pearl buttons; but chew
lot and plain cloth are equally appro-
pirate and blue, brown, black and Ok
ford are all correct colors.
The fronts of the coat are loose, but
are curved at the under-arm seams
to follow the outline of the figure. At
each side pocket is inserted, the
opening being finished with stitched
overlap. The back includes q curved
centre seam and under-arm cores
that render it shapely and give smart
effect. The neck is finished with a
collar, faced with velvet. that rolls
over with the fronts to form lapels.
The sleeves are in regulation coat
style stitched to simulate cuffs.

FANCY BLOUSE.

model is emirently simple at the same
tine that it makes an admirable erect.
The original is made Of white peau de
sole banded with black velvet ribbon,
the ycke being of cream lace over
white and the under-sleeves White
Liberty silk; but all delicate colors are
in vogue for afternoon and evening
wear, and all soft finished silks ana
wool materials are appropriate. AS
shown the blouse matches the skirt,
but the design suits the separate waist,
worn with odd skirts, and the entire
costume equally we'll.
The simple lining is smoothly fitted
and closes with the waist at the centre
back. On it are arranged the prettily
curved yoke, the full front and BACKS
and the becoming bertha. The sleeves
are novel and attractive. The upper
portions are shaped in curves and
points, to harmonic with the yoke and
bertha. and the soft full under sleeves
droop gracefully between the curved
edges.
To cut this blouse for woman OF
medium size three and three-quarter
yards of material twenty-one inches

AS yet there are no symptoms OF re-

which always suggested having come
from a milliner's shop rather than
from the furrier. Lace and bunches
of violets are out Of place on winter
muff, and the fanciful affairs are not
so much liked as the conventional fur
cylinders. The shape of muf ADDS
much to it's style. The Fashionable
model for the season of 19O1-o2 is
without doubt the drum of goodly
proportions. A handsome drum muH
of cninchilla is lined with pale gray
satin and has an inside pocket, deep
enough to hold purse. 1t is decorat-
ed with a cluster Of three tails.
