been filed in the district court against
John Brown, the man arrested some.
time last month for stealing an over
coat from a passenger train in the
Northern Pacific yards. 1t will be
remembered that Brown was shot in
the leg by Officer Dulin while trying
to escape and taken to the hospital.
A few days ago his wound had healed
sufficiently to warrant his removal
to the county jail and after he had
been placed in custody the informa-
ton was placed On record.
The McShane warehouse at Ran
chester burned to the groud last Sat
urday. 1t is thought that sparks
from a passing engine ignited the
building. The house was filled with
machinery, harness, grain and other
property making a total value Of near
ly $1,000. We understand, says the
Sheridan Tribune, no insurance was
carried on the building or contentsJ
The warehouse was situated aboyt
300 yards west Of the Manchester de-
pot along the Burlington track.
Gus Hudall, foreman Of the Bill
ings Brewing company, has suffered
the loss of one of his little fingers,
which was amputated last Monday.
Several days before he had been for
a drive into the country and had oc-
casion to open a gate. While doing
so he accident1y cut the finger on a
barb wire. AS the wound amounted
to no more than a mere abrasion Of
the skin, he paid no attention to it
until the finger began to swell and
cause him the most intense pain. A
physician was called who pronounced
it a case of blood poisoning and
found that only amputatfon would
prevent more serious results.
