TROUBLES OF Mr.. LOGAN.
T.:G Mayor-Elect Has Difficulty in
Handing Out the PIums.

T::G MayorElect Has Difficulty in
Handing Out the PIums.
AS lie time for taking the mayor
atty chair arrives, the perplexities of
Mayor-Elect Logan continues to in
crease and the question of how he
will fill the few appointive offices ap-
parently remains unsolved. The
makeup of the police force is known
to no one but himself and some are
unkind enough to insinuate that ne
has not yet made up his mind who
will compose the force.
1t is rumored that there will be
only two changes in the composition
Oh the city's finest, and that Officers
Hannah and Paul will have to walk
the plank. Chief of Police Johnson
will probably be retained, as will Off
Ger Donahue, as they are republicans,
but all democrats must go. M. H.
Ormsby is slated for PauPs job, but
Hannahs successor is not known.
Mr.. Logan is also having trouble
with the city clerk and city attorney
appointees, but with his usual apti-
tude for solving riddles, he is ex-
pected to come out with flying colors.
G. H. Foot is strongly talked of as
the successor of F. L. Gray, the pres
ent incumbent, but thereby hangs a
tale.
In the case of Mrs. G. w. Hundley
against the city of Kalispell for
$4,000 damages alleged to have been
sustained by falling on a defective
sidewalk, Foot & Pomeroy are allied
with Mr.. Logan in prosecuting the
case Of course, since being elected,
mayor, Mr.. Logan has withdrawn
eroy as Mrs. Hundley's attorneys.
Naturally, it would be impossible for
Mr., Foot, as city attorney, to act on
both sides of the case at once, and
Mr.. Logan, realizing this, went to Mr..
Gray and asked him to retain his
present position as city attorney I'M
til after the case is settled but as
he would only be in office on suffer
ance, SO to speak, Mr.. Gray declined
| to do so.
Either Mr. Foot will have to with
draw from the case in order to be ap-
pointed as city attorney or he will
have to give up his political aspira-
lions and remain as one of the at
torneys who are conducting damage
suits against the city.

TO IDENTIFY CURRY.
Express Messenger Smith Appears in
Knoxville, Tenn.


Knoxville, Tenn.
Express Messenger G. H. Smith is
in Knoxville, Tenn, this week on bus
mess connected with the coming trial
of kid" Curry, the famous Montana
bandit, who is under arrest there for
completely in the Great North
ern train robbery at Malta Mont,
July 8, 1901. Smith was the messen-
ger in charge of the express car at
the time and had thrilling expert
ence with the bold outlaws.
AS it was in broad daylight, and
the men made but feeble attempt
to disguise themselves, he secured a
good description of them which has
greatly aided the authorities in run
ming down the perpetrators of the
crime. At the time Ben Fitzpatrick
was arrested in st. Louis, Smith was
sent for, and his positive indentifi-
ton of the prisoner greatly strength
ened the case of the prosecution.
When Curry was caught near Knox
vile, Smith was again sent for, and
it is for the purpose of connecting
the prisoner with the holdup that his
trip is due.

Another Tired Mismate.

Grace Beeler commenced an action
for a divorce in the district court
Wednesday against William Beeler,
on the grounds of desertion and non
support. AS set forth in the COM
plant, the defendant soon became
dissatisfied with married life and
after brief trial of connubial bliss
lasting just II days, he deserted the
partner of his joys and sorrows and
returned to the untrammeled freedom
of single cussedness. Because of this
and his failure to provide means for
her support, she asks that she be
granted divorce and her maiden
name of Grace Tollard be restored
to her. The couple were married in
this city April 3, 1901, and Beeler de-
serted her April 90

COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL.
Board Meets to Select New Principal
and Teachers.

The old board of trustees of the
county high school held it's final meet
ing in the office of G. H. Foot this
week and, after auditing numerous
claims, adjourned and the new .boaru
was organized. With the exception
of G. H. Foot, who resigned, and
whose place is filled by F. L. Gray,
the present board remains the same
as the old one. D. R. Peeler was
elected president, and G. M. Houtz,
secretary.
The chief object of the meeting
was to select a principal and three
teachers for the ensuing year, but
beyond considering a number of ap-
plications, no action was taken and
the matter was laid over until May
8, when another meeting will be held.
Arrangements we're also considered
for the class and graduating exer-
cises, but nothing definite was done.

STORY A cANARD.
Great Northern Has Not Purchased
Townsite at Whitefish.

ToWnsite at Whitefish.
The Bee has learned on unques-
toned authority that the purchase of
the land at Whitefish lake last week
was not made by the Great Northern
Railway company nor was it done by
any one authorized by them. The
land for the townsite at the foot of
Whitefish lake was purchased by a
party of land spectators from Spo-
kane, who, when the rumor first
started that it was bought by the
Great Northern, did nothing to check
IL. On the contrary, they aided in
circulating the story for the benefit
they would naturally derive from 1t.
The Great Northern Railway COM
pany has given up dealing in town
sites, and with the exception of Ev-
erett, Wash, Kalispell is about the
last point where the company held
any extensive interest in the new
town.
The fact that the land in question
had been purchased and the story
that the Great Northern was the pur-
chaser, caused some excitement in
business circles In this city, as by a
great many it was deemed conclusive
proof that Kalispell would surely be
left off the main line of the Great
Northern.
There is no doubt of the genuine
ness of the authority from which the
ABOVE information is learned and it
can be put down as an assured fact
that the railroad company has moth
ing to do with the purchase of the
alleged townsite at Whitefish lake.

CHANGES IN THE LAND OFFICE.
A. w. Swaney and John E. Lewis APP
pointed by the President.

The uncertainty that has existed in
republican circles for many moons in
regard to the successors of w. G..
Whips and F. H. Nash, as receiver
land Office in this city, was settled
this week by the nomination by the
president of John E. Lewis of Column
bia Falls, and A. w. Swaney of this
city to fill the vacancies. The news
of the appointment of these gentle
men came as surprise to many and
was a severe shock to the few who
who thought they had a chance to
rake in the plums.
The terms of Messrs Nash and
Whips expired March 81, 1901, and
ever since that time there has been
scramble among the different re-
publican factions, and numerous ap-
plications were filed. The Carter and
anti-Carter republicans put up a hot
fight. AS the first telegram received
in this city announcing the appoint
ments was from ex-senator Carter,
IL would seem that the Carter faction
was the winner.
The appointment of Mr.. Swaney
to the position of register is well re-
ceived throughout the city and he is
the recipient of many congratulations
over his good fortune. John E. Lewis
is proprietor of the Gaylord hotel at
Columbia Falls.
AS there is always delay in such
matters it will probably be the first
of June before the new appointees
lake up their duties.

MISS IRENE EVANS ABUSED BY AN
UNKNOWN WHITE MAN.

Miss Irene Evans, one of the day opera
tors for the Central Union Telephone Com
pany. who lives at No. 2514 North Pennsyl-
vania street, was assaulted by white man
last night about 99O o'clock on the levee of
FAN creek, between Illinois and Meridian
streets. The girl was badly beaten by her
assailant. Her neck was scratched and her
dress was partly torn from her. She also
suffered a severe nervous shock.
Miss Evans, in telling the police of her
encounter. said she got off a street car at
the Fall creek bridge at Illinois street and
started to walk across the levee to her
home. When she reached the levee she
saw man walking in front of her. She
kept reasonable distance in the rear of
the man. but near Meridian street he
turned quickly and grabbed her around the
neck. He forced her to the ground and
threatened her life II she cried for felp.
The girl screamed several times but the
man smothered her cries. She said she re-
tained her presence of mind and handed the
man her pocketbook. The man took the
purse but did not let her go. They strug-
gled in the earth and snow until they were
near the Meridian Club house. on Meridian
street. where the man dragged the girl. BY
this time she said she had lost conscious
ness ness and I'd did not remember anything until
sufficiently to stagger TO her home, a block
away. She told her parents of her expert
ence. The police were called. A search of
the clubhouse and the surrounding country
was made, but no trace of the man was
found. The girl when she arrived at home
was prostrated from the shock Dr. De
Hass was called and attended her. When
the police arrived she was able to give
them a good description of her assailant
When Bicycle Policemen Lowe and Trimpe
reached the empty clubhouse they found
Miss Evans's side combs and three sheets
of music. 1t was said that she had been to
church practicing for a Christmas song
service.

Long Ill with Bronchitis and Now
of Heart and Kidney Troubles.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-Mrs. Ulysses
s. Grant, wife of the former President Of
the United States. is dangerously i'll at
her home in this city. She has been suf-

said that Mrs. Grant was little better
than she was earlier in the day. 1t was
announced that it was possible she would
not survive the night She is in a very
feeble condition and the severe drain that
the bronchitis has made upon her system
precipitated an old trouble with the heart.

Canada, but her condition at that time
was far from good. She was taken quite
