There IL good reason to believe
that Annie Rogers, alias Mande VII
liams, who IL under arrest at Nash
vile, Tenn. suspected Of being an
accomplice OF the men who held up
and robbed the Great Northern ex
press train at Wagner, July 3, visited
the scene Of that robbery Sept. 6 and
secured the money that had been
stolen from the dynamited express
ear and cached In that vicinity.
Since the Pinkertons have been
making inquiries concerning the
woman II has been learned that she
arrived In Glasgow the night of Sept
>, alone. She went To the Coleman
, house, secured n room there and
spent the night In It. In the morn
ing, before breakfast, n large man
about feet 10 inches tall. weighing
about 225 pounds, with n neatly
trimmed black and gray beard, ar
rived Mt the hotel and greeted her as
II they were old friends. They took
breakfast together and about 0
o'clock the man went to the livery
stable and hired team and buggy,
say Ing he desired to drive to "a ranch
which ia about 30 miles distant. In
company with the woman. he left
Glasgow In the buggy, and when
they returned tn the town. about
eight or nine hours later, the team
showed IL had been hard driven. The
woman left the buggy at the hotel,
and the man drove the outfit To the
stable. The top Of the buggy was
raised. and an he stepped out of the
buggy, the horses moved forward
and threw him against the top on
one side. As he struck the side bars
OF the top. 1t was noticed by the
stable man that he wore a false
beard, and II had been brushed for
ward by contact with the bars.
About an hour later the woman
boarded the west bound train, but
what became OF the man IL not
known, nor has bis Identity been re.
vealed.
Since the woman was arrested In
the act OF passing one III the stolen
bills, and the story OF her movements
at Glasgow has come TO light. 1t is
believed that her companion was one
OF the robbers. or In their confidence.
and II is thought that when they
drove out Of Glasgow they went to

The man and woman who left
Glasgow were not gone long enough
to drive to Wagner and return. bu t
after the robbers left the train the y
took n southeasterly course, and
passed n point about 81 miles south
Of Glasgow, and may have made n
cache in that vicinity.
When they crossed the river at old
Fort Peck, they carried no bundles
and were careless I'm going into the
water, not acting like men who had
valuables about them, and this gives
reason for the belief that they made

the woman, after leaving Glasgow
on the west bound train, next stop
ped at Fort Benton. She was there,
IL IL known certainly, while the ChO-
teau county grand jury was In ses-
sion preparing to indict the robbers.
She stayed for only few days and

ObendOrf was accused OF stealing 20
head of calves, the property Of O.

them to Chauncey Parker, OF Big

The defense was, that Obendori

defense did not deny that the stock
was the property OF Wilson and had
been stolen by Brown. Brown was
not here, however, to contradict the
statement. The state contcnaed
that Obendorf and Brown were part

"A Proclamation-The season Is
nigh when, according to the time

"Thls Thanksgiving finds the peo-
pie still bowed with sorrow for the

pose not TO be driven by any calam-
ity from the path of strong, orderly,
popular liberty which, as a nation.
we have thus far safely trod.
"Yet, I'm spite Of this great disaster,
1t Is, nevertheless, true that no peo.
pie on the earth have such abundant
cause for Thanksgiving as we have.
The past year in particular has been
one OF peace and plenty. We have
prosperedi In things material and have
been able to work for our own up
lifting In things intellectual and
spiritual. Let us remember that 'as
much as has been given us much will
be expected from us, and that true
homage comes from the heart as well
as from the lips, and shows itself In
deeds. We can best prove our
thankfulness to the Almighty by the
way in which on this earth and at
this time each of us does his duty to
his fello w-men.
"Now, therefore, /, Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the United
States, do hereby designate az "a day

the LARGEST TRANSACTIONS ON RECORD.
Sixteen Cents Paid for Montana Wool
All Records Broken.

Boston, Nov. 1.-The Commercial
Bulletin will say tomorrow Of the
wool trade: All American records
have been broken In the wool mar
ket this week. The largest transac-
tions hitherto in any one weeks
business were for the week ending
Nov. 80. 1890, when 1S,3G6,50 pounds
was sold in Boston.
This total has been surpassed by a
weeks transactions OF not less than
$4,000, 900 pounds, a larger amount
than the combined clips of Michigan
and Ohio. The American Wool CON-
pany has been the chief purchaser.
Stocks are still SO large that though
the heavy purchasers have stifiened
the market they have failed to ad-
vance 1t, holders being content after
the terrible losses of 1900 to take mod
crate profits.
The highest price paid this week
was 16 cents for light three-eighths
blood Montana wool. There is still
one lot OF 1899 Montana wool In this
market, bought at the top wave of
speculation at 25 cents. All woods,
however, OF this years clip, pur-
chased last spring, show comfort
able profit.
Montana and Oregon woods have
sold most freely at full rates. There
have been slight advances on fine
pulled and fine Australian. Domestic
fieeces, especially Delaines, have been
sold freely, though at no higher prices.
Dealers from other markets have been
selling their woods In Boston this
week. There has not been q single
sale to spectators. Every pound
sold has been directly to the mills.
The sales OF this week cannot be en-
tirely delivered for months to come.
The receipts OF wool In Boston since
January have been 23,552, ,464 pounds,
against l50.7l5,s65 pounds for the
same period In 1900. The Boston
shipments to date are 2l4.636. .665
pounds, against sales OF l23. .76S, 900
poundsdor the same period Of 1900.
The stock on hand In Boston Janu-
ary l, 1901. was 76,3O9, 500 pounds; the
total stock today Is ~, l9s. .499 pounds.
