WILL BUILD NEW LINES,
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone Com
pany Will Extend System.

Among the many new lines to be
built next season, Mr.. H. H. Som.
mers in an interview in Helena, men
toned the following extension to be
made in eastern Montana:
A small exchange is being installed
at Bridger, which will be in operation
within the next ten days.
Mr.. Sommers said that in all prob
ability his company would this year
build a line from Bridger south to
Thermopolis, in Wyoming, a distance
of $50 miles. The company has al
ready let a contract Tor the construc-
ton of a line from the Union Pacific
to Thermopolis, and when the connect
ing link between that place and Bridg-
er is made Montana will have another
through line TO Salt Lake and Denver.
The company also contemplates
building a line between Billings and
Miles City this year. This line will
probably be built the coming summer,
but this matter has not been definitely
settled.

HITCH IN COAL MERGER
ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILWAY
ASKS GUARANTY.
Declines to Deal Longer With the
Morgan sydicate and Turns
to Hartman.

Carbondale, Ills, Jan. 25.-A most
serious condition has been found to
exist in the attempt to place the Illi-
nois coal field under the great coal
corporation which now controls the
coal interests in Indiana, West Vir-
ginia and Ohio. The Illinois Central
railroad has carried, in the past, q
per cent of the coal of the state and
allied interests runs the per cent to
over so. About 10 days ago a demand
was made for some agreement that it's
carrying in the future. would
not be hampered by the eliminating
of competition. To this only an eva
sive agreement was proposed, where
upon the road refused to deal longer
with the ]. Pierpont Morgan interests
and suggested that the Hartman peo-
pie would be accepted as negotiators.
The present condition therefore is that
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois rail
road, which is controlled by the Nor
gan syndicate, may endeavor to en-
large it's coal carrying business at the
expense Of the other roads Of the
state. The present contest may de-
lay the plans of the combine for sev
eral months unless the railroad inter
ests of the state are amply protected
in their revenue.

STRUCK WITH A sLuNGsHoT.
Assault Believed to Have Been the
Result Of Jealousy.

II r.- H
Missoula, Jan. PA young man
named Richardson had a narrow es-
cape from being permanently injured
Wednesday morning at Nine Mile
while boarding the train for Missoula.
He had been attending the dance Civ
en- at Nine Mile that evening and as he
was about to get on the cars some
one struck him with a slungshot, cut
ting open the scalp on top of the head.
After being hit Richardson fell and
would probably have fallen beneath
the train but for the assistance lent
him by some passengers on the plat
form. He was pulled aboard and
came to town, where DR.. Minshall
dressed his wounds. The doctor does
not believe that the injury will be
permanent.
Richardson can in no way account
for the actions of his antagonist.
There is only one way to figure it out
and that is that some one became
jealous of him at the dance and was
so worked up about the matter that
he struck Richardson in a spirit Of
revenge.

Pony, Mont, Jan. 25.-Rich gold
finds in the west end of the Norwe-

place has started a stampede to the
scene Of the discovery. About 80
claims have been located and the coun-
