be a valuable addition to the public ut!li-
ties of that part of Silver Bow county.
The road is now being completed frOV
the Upper Big Hole down to the Divide.
1t was much needed. and people who
have to travel in that section are de-
lighted with it's construction. The COM

years when it has been finished.
The weather was fine while the COM
missioners We're upon their travels. ana
they enjoyed the visit to the Big Hole
very much. Some of them got fish while
they We're there. but their official bust
ness of inspecting the new road occupied
a good deal of their time.

| had been done with the gun belonging
to US. All of the goods were taken
aboard the Manning. We at first
| thought the murder had been commit
| ted by natives, and on the following day
searched a native camp for evidence, but
found none. In the afternoon of that
day hunter called B. Benson notified
US that he had seen two suspicious look
ing men on the island in June. He said
they were deserters from the OsagO, a
fishing schooner. These men. it was
learned, were still on the island working
Tor prospector named Scott, who had
camp at the southeastern part. On the
24th the gunner of the Manning, Mr
Benson, and a United States deputy mar
shall went to SCOTS camp and found
Hardy and others engaged in game OF
cards. Hardy was al that very moment
trying to sell Con Sullivan's watch and
diamond pin. On being searched Hardy's
clothing yielded several. other articles
belonging to the men killed, together
with $500 in cash The revolver, which
! identified, was also there.
with Hardy was a man named George
Ashton. Both were taken to uTnalaska
and Jailed, but Ashton proved an abb
and was reiea sad He had simply met
Hardy after the latter had committed
the crime but had helped cache the rife
with which the killing was done. At the
Jail he told where the gun was hidden
and the Manning, with corps of United
States marsha's. went to the place indi-
Gated and found it.
The evidence against Hardy was con-
elusive, and after the jury had heard
it only 50 minutes time was consumed
in arriving at verdict. Hardy claimed
to have been an army officer in the Phil
ippnes, but he was only a private and
served a term in the AlcatraZ military
prison. He said he was a native of
Tennessee. He is young, has smooth
face, a florid complexion with black
hair and retreating forehead. He ha-
small, black. restless eyes, and looks like
a murderer

M. O. p. and Amalgamated.

The usual rumors about the ABSORPTION
of the NJ. o. p. properties by the Anal
gamated company have been in circula.
ton for several days, having originated
from many sources. none of them con-
nected with any of the parties in interest
or their agents. The reports were based
on changes in the NJ. O. Z. mines in ap-
parent conformity with similar changes
in Ama]gamated properties. Chiefly the
report was based on the decrease in the
M. O. p working forces. when natural
supposition would favor the largest pos
sible M. Q. p. output.

LIVELY STREET FRACAS TODAY
H. F. Brown. Accused of Stealing

LIVELY STREET FRACAS TODAY

There was an animated time this after
noon on West Granite street. not far
from the Inter Mountain office, in which
Deputy Sheriff McGarvey and Under
Sheriff McGuigan We're pitted against a
bartender named H. f. Brown in a
struggle brought on by Browns effort TO
escape from custody.
Brown had been arrested at the South
ern hotel by the officers on warrant
charging him with grand larceny in
stealing race horse. AT Hamilton and
Granite streets the under sheriff dropped
behind to speak to somebody, and Brown
embraced the opportunity to welt Nc
Carney alongside the head with his fist.
The blow landed on McGarvey's right
temple, bat he did not succeed in loosen
ing the officers clutch on him. He tried
to get in couple Of upper hooks then,
and in the struggle the men fell down
upon the paving stones and continued
the fight there, where the deputy sheriff
delivered some swift punches on the bar
tenders ribs.
Michigan had seen the fight open, and
like the warhorse that shifts the combat
from afar, he ran to reinforce McGarvey.
The deputy sheriff did not really need
McGuigans assistance. as he was about
a to ! shot at that stage. with the
betting rising in his favor.
However. upon the arrival of the
under sheriff, Brown was soon out Of the
go. and he was hustled to Jail in short
order.
He tried to escape at the Southern.
where he was arrested. He started into
hall, telling McGarvey he would he
back in minute. In the hall he tried
to run. but the officer was too foxy and
ma bbed him instantly.
Ex-Governor Robert b. Smith swore to
the warrant against Brown on Septe1n-
Der 3, and the officers of the sheriff's
office had been looking for the latter for
month. Brown is accused of selling a
horse belonging to horseman named
Abercrombie for $500.
McGarvin came out of the go with a
bump on his forehead, but he was salts
fed that the knocks he landed on
Browns ribs raised red spots. The under
sheriff made a record of about II in his
sprint, but missed the pugilistic honOrs.
Browns shoulder was wrenched in the
scuffie.

DAILY MARKET QUOTATIONS
Uncertainty and Caution Of Specula-
tive Sentiment in STOCKS Reflected
By Opening Prices
(By Associated PreSS.)

New York, Oct. S.-The contrary move-
ments Of prices in the opening dealings
reflected the uncertainty and hesitation
of speculative sentiment. Dealings We're
not on large scale, however; there
was some small pressure against United
States Steel. Sugar and the New York
fractions.
Amalgamated Copper opened up y.
but more than lost that. The resistance
shown by special stocks encouraged the
bulls to bid up the market and there
We're quick advances of from l to 2
points, with Amalgamated, Brooklyn
Transit and Atchison in the lead. BY
80 the demand slackened and the bears
made drive against Brooklyn Transit
and Sugar, the latter losing two points.
Other Stocks also weakened, but held
above first place. Amalgamated Copper
dropped over points and railroad stocks
eased off.
Bonds were irregular
