Liquor Cases Tried,

In the cases of the State of Mime
sofa vs.. Hans Larson, Indahl Simon
son and Isaac Emers on. they were all
fined by Judge Bitterness in the fol-
lowing amounts for maintaining COM
mon nuisances: Hans Larson, whose
trial took place on Thursday, was
fined $50; Indahl Simonson, who was
up before his honor the same day, was
fined $40; and Isaac Emerson was fined
S25 the following day.
Hans Larson created some amuse-
ment in court by declaring that he
was temperance man. According to
the state law, a $75 fine is the limit
for the first offense. From the fact
that Larson Is q man that
''puts down" liquor, he looks upon
the heavy fine as a great injustice.
His place was we'll stocked.

tify, and was accompanied by Detect

A MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY,
RevolvorS and wax Candles Found Md.
don Under the Peavey E,sva.
tor Last Friday.

Had 1t not been for q certain dis
covery which was made recently, there
might possibly have been burglary
or daring hold.up committed in this
city.
Last Friday afterno on Peter Sletten,
who has charge as agent of the Peavey
Elevator at this point, had occasion
to 60 under the building. He espied a
piece of gunny sack which appeared to
contain something, and it was found
lying under sill on the north side.
Upon investigation he was startled
to find two ugly-looking revolvers, a
couple of wax candles and two tobacco
pouches containing cartridges. The
discovery was at once reported to the
police and later on the property was
taken in charge by Sheriff Odell, who
has the same on deposit in the vault
of the First National Bank, of which
he is cashier.
The sheriff says that If the owners
will come around, prove the property
and pay storage charges they can re-
cover the same. 1t is not likely that
any attempt will be made in that d.
rection and the county will no doubt
retain in its position for some time to
come memento Of what might have
been. While some are inclined to
look upon the matter jokingly, others
regard it in more serious light.
The next morning after the discov-
cry, three men were noticed on the
premises and their actions were of such
a nature that they were evidently
looking for the same articles. The
property had no doubt been secreted
there in the full confidence that it
would never be found in such an out
of way place. Mr.. Sletten says that
some time previous to that young
man had accosted him at the elevate
and asked for work there. He claimed
to hail from Huron, S. D. Mr.. Slet-
ten suspects that one of the trio is the
same man and that they may possibly
have been together in concocting some
scheme.
The police did not make any efforts
to trace up the matter, and as it now
stands the whole thing remains mys-
terry.
The revolvers were self-cockers and
of the kind most likely to be used by
desperate characters. The fact that
wax candles were found concealed with
them looks very suspicious. !

LOST IN THE MOUNTAINS,
Supt. Egsn Becomes Lost While Hunt.
Ing In tho Wilds Of montana-
Is Well Known Hefe.


Superintendent Benje&in F. Egau,
of the Kalispell division of the Great
Northern, and until a few weeks ago
assistant superintendent of the Breck-
enrldge division, became lost in the
mountains of Montana week ago
yesterday and at this writing no trace
OF his whereabouts has yet been found.
Mr.. Egan is we'll known in railroad
circles and his mysterious disappear
ance is generally regretted. During
his connection with the breckenridge
division, he formed large acquaint.
ance with railroad people IN this city,
who among others are manifesting
much anxiety for his safety.
Mr.. Egan was one of party o1
three who were hunting in the noun.
tains OF Montana. With him were DR..
Houston, the company physician, and
the Doctors brother, r. Houston, ol
st. Paul. They left Kalispell in
Egan's private car for days hunt
Ing. At small station called Curam
the men left the car with instructions
that it be sent to- Belton, where after
a tramp across the country they ex.
pected to meet. The hunters sepa.
rated and Egan failed to reach Bel.
ton, and although his companions
searched until late into the night they
failed to find him.
Large hunting parties have been or.
ganized and all efforts possible made
to find the missing man. On the day
OF his disappearance two fierce bliz
yards swept the mountains and late,
storms are reported. The dispatches
announce that the section in which
Egan is lost is one of the widest an6
most heavily timbered tracts in Mon
tana, and without food or shelter it IL
not believed he could have survived.
The cold has been Intense and Egan's
clothing was simple hunting garb
What has befallen him is only a mat
ter OF conjecture and all sorts of theo
ries are advanced. The fruitlest
search has been going on now for 6
week, so it seems possible that hi
must have perished.
A reward of $500 from the Grea
Northern company and also simila,
reward by the employees of the Breck
enridge division are offered for the
finding of Mr.. Egan, which shows the
high esteem in which he is held ani
also the deep interest for his reeovery
Mr: Eg'af6* vas we11s liked by both en- em
ployes and employers. A brother
from Chicago, A. II. Egan, who ii
superintendent of terminals of the II
linois Central railroad, has gone tc
