MUST HAVE MUTTON.
Freighter's Way Of Securing Change
of Grub.

James Murray, a freighter between
this city and Lewistown, was arrest
ed this morning charged with stealing
three sheep from j. F. Patterson on
the 9th of September. On that date
Murray came to the herder's camp
at HARDWOOD lake and tried to buy a
mutton, but as the herder was not
authorized to sell he did not succeed,
says the Benton Press. During the
night the sheep were reused up a few
times, but the herder supposed it
was by wolves and contented him
self with hanging out a lantern. Next
morning he discovered signs of sheep
having been butchered at Murray's
camp and found mutton on his wagon,
later finding the head, feet and hides
of the three sheep cached nearby.
Today Murray was arrested here
on his arrival from Lewistown with
his freight outfit. His bail was fixed
at $500. Late this afternoon Murray
paid for the sheep and costs and the
charge was dismissed.

Business Becoming Brisk and Prices
Going Up.

. H. . NSs'S OFs
Trading in sheep has taken a sud

and in consequence a considerable
stiffening of prices is reported by the
dealers.
Among the transactions closed yes
terday and which were made public
are the following: Thomas McGirl,

John T. Murphy, to J.. D. Hilger, $500

WILL NURSES.
Northern Pacific company's offer to
Its Employees.

The Northern Pacific company has
decided upon a step in the way of as
sisting the members of the families
of its employees that is likely to prove
highly popular with those for whose
benefit it has been adopted. AS
will be seen from the following copy
of a circular letter sent by the COM
pany's chief surgeon it is the inten-
ton to give those of the female mem
bers who wish to accept the offer
and possess the necessary qualifica-
tons an opportunity to become train
ed nurses. The letter says:
Brainerd, Mimi, Sept. 8, 1901
Dear Sir: We expect to open a train
ing school for nurses in connection
with this hospital, as soon as the
building to be used for their home
and now in course of construction is
completed, which we expected will be
about the first of November next.
Realizing that daughters, or other
female members of the Northern Pa
cific Railway employees families, may
desire to take up trained nursing as
an occupation, and wishing to favor
their applications for positions as
student nurses here, as far as pos
sible, I desire to ask you to promptly
bring this matter to the attention of
our railway employees on your divi-
sion.
Applicants must be not less than
twenty-one nor more than thiry-five
years of age: possessed of good
health free from physical infirmi-
ties) good moral character, and a good
general education, which has includ-
ed high school work or it's equivalent.
Other things being equal, we desire
to give members of Northern Pacific
Railway employees families the pref
erence among applicants.
Those desiring to make application
for information in regard to entering
the school, may do so by addressing
Miss Laura Whitaker, Supt. of Nurses,
N. P. Hospital, Brainerd, Mimi, or
myself.
Yours truly,

Three sisters of the Ursuline order
arrived yesterday to make further in
vestigation of the matter of building
a school here. During the afternoon
they were driven about the city by
Mayor George and expressed themsel-
yes as highly pleased with the town
and with what they had seen. Owing
to the absence of Father a Claren-
beck. who is at Helena, they decid-
ed not to remain as long as intended,
but will return later.
Two offenders were arraigned be-
fore Judge Mann, yesterday. One was
below the city, and who, aside from
manifesting at times an uncontrolla-
BILE desire for liquor, is the respect
able and worthy head of a family.
He was permitted to go with a lect-
ure and admonition not to permit him
self to be caught again or it would 60
hard with him. The other fellow was
given a dose for using indecent Ian
guage in public and disorderly con-
duct generally.
If the weather continues favorable
the line of the Bell Telephone cor
pany now constructing in this direc-

ed, reach the city about November
5. At present the construction crew
is working near Laurel. The crew is
divided into three gangs, each under
a "boss." The first gang digs the
| holes, the second follows and set the
poles, while the third strings the wire.
All manage to keep well together and
when work stops for the day the line
is up and completed as far as the
hole diggers proceeded.

victed the prisoner recommended him
to the mercy OF the court and the
Judge who pronounced sentence said
he would take the recommendation in
to consideration and also the further
fact that Tobin had been proved to
nave been a hard working man all
his life and that liquor was in a large
easur responsible for the predica-
ment in which he found himself.

If n of the prisoners confined in

mystery of the disappearance Of the
overcoat stolen by Charles Downing,

Grand hotel, has been solved. The
prisoner in question declares that
Downing had the coat on when arrest

up and the officer who placed him in.

off the coal and proceeded to tear it
into shreds. After having done this,
the man says, the mute" put the

are that he will be sent to the peni-
