nurder at Missoula.

Missoula was shocked yesterday by
another addition to the long list Of
tragedies that have occurred in the
bea utifnl little city at the mouth of the
He'll Gate. John Maley, well Known
citizen had mysterous,y disappeared
for several DAYS and finally the river
was dragged resulting in the discovery
of his hody just below the bridge yes
terday afternoon. The supposition is
that he was waylaid and murdered as
he was known to have large sum of
money on his person with which he in
tended to close up deal. Mrs. Chas.
Donovan of this city was daughter
of the deceased, and this morning ac-
companied by her husband left for
Missouia.

THE KlMBALL PlANOFORTES
Have Made a Record Without Parallel
in Piano History.

They have forced themselves into
the front of national and information
al popularity in shorter time than any
piano ever manufactured.
The diploma awarded by the inter
national jury at the Worlds fair in
Chicago acknowledges exceptional
merit.
The KimbalI piano Is played by the
leading artists of America in the great
musical centers, such as New York,
Brooklyn, Washington City, etc. and
have received the highest encomiums
from all art critics.
The first kimball piano was made
six years ago last April, since which
time 10000 have been made. The
daily output is larger than from any
other piano factory in the world anc
with demand that is utterly imposs
| ible to supply, all of which attests its
remarkable superiority.
The fine material used in its con
struction, its excellent workmanship
and great standing powers have neve
been surpassed. The trade, the pro
fession, and the international jury o
! piano experts all unanimously declar,
IN its favor.
$ The great sale of 20 Hallet & Davi

AUSTRALIA OVERRIDE

SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.-Lack
of any means of communication with
Tahiti other than by steamer from
Auckland or San Francisco renders it
difficult to obtain any news of the
steamer Australia after she sails from
here until the return of the vessel. Ac-
cording to the schedule made out when
the Australia left here earlv in Febru-
airy, the steamer was due on the re-
turn trip last Sunday, but four days
nave since passed and up to last even
ing the steamer had not been reported.
On the last trip from Tahiti made in
ten and half days, the Australia was
stopped several times on account of
disabled boilers, and after slight re-
pairs was sent out again on the long
Vayage of 300 miles to Tahiti. The
steamer carried supply of boiler tubes
and the delay of the vessel may have
been occasioned by repairs made while
in port at Tahiti

SUIT OVER THE RIO.

SAN FRANCISCO March 13.-The
story of the wreck of the Rio de ia
metro will be told in court. Yester-
day the first suit GROWING out of the
disaster was filed in the United States
District Court The plaintiff Mrs.
Sarah Guyon, who is the widow of
Henry Guyon, one of the victims, has
brought two actions, one to recover
$4,000 damages and the other for the
cost of the transportation and the per-
sonal effects lost in the wreck.
The plaintiff makes sweeping charges
of neglect. The officers of the vessel are
arraigned for not making proper
soundings when coming into the har-
Dor, and the Pacific Mail steamship
Company is held responsible for not
providing a crew of intelligent men
and a sufficient number of licensed off,
