peace, when appraisers are appointed
and the justice files a copy of the ap-
praisment with the county clerk. A
description of the animal must also be
published in some newspaper in the
county. When these things are done
the animal, unless the owner appears
and pays all costs, becomes the prop
erty of the detainer. But this proceed
urc in red tape is not necessary when
an animal is simply taken up as an
estray. In the latter event all that is
required is that a notice, reciting the
facts, be published for four consecu-
tive times, unless the owner appears
in the meantime, proves property and
pays all charges. If, at the end of
the four weeks, the owner fails to ap-
pear, or if he does show up, but re-
fuses to pay the charge, the animal
should, in every case, be advertised
for sale, one notice being sufficient,
and sold to the highest bidder. The
detainer NAV bid the animal in.

FALLING TREE
e. B. Wiles, Of Medicine Springs,
Crosses the Great Divide-An Old
Timer In Montana.

E. B. Wiles, proprietor of the Meci-
cine Springs resort, died Saturday at
teruoon from the effect of the injuries
he sustained on Wednesday last.
The accident took place on the noun
tain side just above Mr.. Wiles' home
at Medicine Springs, IS miles south Of
Hamilton. Mr.. Wiles ana Mark
Bright were cutting down tree. All
unexpectedly the tree fell, tearing up
its roots, one of which struck Mr..
W,les on the head, crushing a jagged
hole into his skull. DIR. McGrath was
immediately summoned and had the
patient brought 10 Hamilton where he
was lodged at the Cottage hotel.
All ministrations were unavailing
and the aged sufferer passed away
without ever regaining consciousness.
The funeral was held Monday after
noon from the M. E. church, south,
Rev. T. W. Flowers performing the
last sad rites.
E. B Wiles, familiarly known as
s'Doc," was born at Geneva, N. Y,
about II years ago. He served in the
Union army during the civil war, at
the close of which he went to Califor-
mia. He came to Montana in the COS,
first locating at Frenchtown. He af-
forwards resided at Deer Lodge and
Stevensvllle where he followed the
trade of carpenter. Mr.. Wiles located
the Medicine Springs on East Fork
about Is years ago and has since con-
dncted that popular resort. HIS only
immediate relatives in this state are a
sister-in-law, Mrs. Wiles, and a niece
and two nephews who reside at Deer
Lodge.

What Has Become Of Archie
McCOrkle?

A. M. McCorkle left his home near
Woodside on Oct. 10Th for Butte with
two car loads of produce. He was ac-
companied by Henry Porter who also
had car Of produce. Upon his arri-
val in Butte McCorkle disposed of his
produce, receiving, it is estimated,
about 500 for the same. According to
the Butte papers, after disposing of
his produce, Mr.. McCorkle was around
town for day or two and drinking
heavily. On Oct. 3Oth he disappeared
and has not been seen or heard from
by any of his friends or acquaiutances
since.
The day prior to his disappearance
Mr.. McCorkle told Henry Porter that he
had sold all his stuff and expected to
start home the next day, Wednesday.
When he failed to show up, and after
anxiously awaiting tidings for a few
days, Mrs. McCorkle set inquiries
afoot. The police of Helena and Butte
were notified and advertisements in.
serted in the principal papers of the
state. Sensational accounts of Nc
Corkle's disappearance have appeared
in the daily papers and foul play is
openly limited at.
Meanwhile, not trace of Mr.. Nc

was the ablest man I'm his own line that
ever came In contact with. OF course
it Is well known In our community that
we have clashed with each other since
the organization of competing banks at
Yale, Brown City and Peck, and can.

financial institutions and enterprises
doubt that he had an equal I'm this state.
