resentative Fletcher said to-day:
I do not think there will be any action of

Helena will bring suit against the local
poolroom to recover license rate of $40

The feeling against the poolroom is very

been greatly curtailed by the bankrupt cy

that the old weather Mee4.

The little cold snap will, 1t is expect

weather, during which shipping
will be resumed.
The Stevenson to date has shipped
1911 900 gross tons, as against about

third year for the Stevenson, though
it did not begin shipping the first
