she fell towards him, her body strik-

He said he had no intention of shoot
Mrs Parmenter in the street shouting
Haul in, haul in!' and ran out to
her and told her to shut up but she
kept on shouting and so he shot at
her. He shot several times Did not
know how many times. He said he
then emptied the spent cartridges from
the chamber of the revolver and put
in the five good cartridges that he
had in his pocket. He said he intend
ed then to use these in blowing out
his own brain but that the whisky he
had drank must have prevented him
from doing it. At any rate he said
he returned to where Mrs. Jones was
lying in the yard. He kissed her
goodbye because he said THAT woman
is my God" He said he did not know
why he did it but he then went out to
Kinau street and made his escape.
WENT UP TANTALUS.
Jones walked along the street to the
Boardman lot and crossed through
this to the streets higher up Punch
bowl and then walked straight up to
the top of Punchbowl He walked "a
round to the back of hill and went
straight up Tantalus over the trail on
top of the ridge. He kept right on
walking until morning, drenched by
the rain. 1t was his intention TO go
over the mountain to Waimanalo and
he entered a valley which he thought
would bring him down to the other
side of the Pail but when the morning
mist cleared up he found that he was
down into Pauoa valley. He
put back at once to Tantalus went
to a shanty or shed where an old ma ;
tive lived. The only thing that the !
native had to eat was a banana He
told the old man that he was up there
for land shells. and in fact
had some black land shells in his hand
at the time he was talking with the
native. He slept there that night and
said he skinned out early the next
and got into a small noun
tain cave where he then remained. He
had nothing to eat but a sort of a
Juicy shrub.

To the Cinnamon who were working
on the small farms of the valley he
said that he told "a lot of funny
yarns. He secured some rice of one
of them and then started off to find
the clothing he had previously taken
off. He could not find it. He said he

Chicago. April 25.-Vast coal fields
In central Illinois are to pass to the
control OF gigantic corporation with
capital OF $S0.000.0O0. and will be
operated In connection with the Hill

The territory acquired by the COM

by the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy.
A connecting link OF ten miles will
be built from Jacksonville to Concord
on the st. Louis branch OF the Bur-
lington, which will give an outlet from
the coal fields to all the Hill roads.
This short line OF road would be
constructed at once, but In the mean
time II is understood deal has be n
made with the Alton to deliver ia
coal to the Hill road.
Interested in the enterprise to a
large extent are the stockholders of
the Pittsburg Coal Company. While

days the first part of the week Mr..

besides the many costly improve
ments that have been made upon these
properties since the last assessment
was levied; there are also several
more expensive and substantial build
ings In the town Of Kendall that will
be assessed this time. cry little OF
the foregoing property was on the tax
list previous to now. consequently the
showing made by Kendall district
year ago was small; but there will
be vastly different story to tell next
fall when the taxes are levied. Ken

INCREASING
THE FORCE
Many Men and Teams Being Rushed
In to Work on the Harlowton-
Lewistown Railroad.
GOOD PROGRESS BEING MADE
Crew Divided Into Four Camps and
the Grade is Rapidly Com.
ing This Way.

First-class progress is being made
on the grading work on the railroad
from Harlowton to Lewistown, there
being at the present time four camps
of workmen just out of Harlowton.
Although they have been over there
but about two weeks three miles of
continuous grading has been complet-
ed and other sections partially com.
pleted, which will add over a mile to
this. This does not include bridges,
but they will be short work when the
bridge crew gets started. The bridge
timber is scattered along the route
where necessary and ready to be put
in when the track is ready to be laid.
1t is undoubtedly the intention of
the contractors to push the road
through with the greatest possible
rapidity, as they are rushing in car
loads of teams and have agents in
different parts of the state looking
for more. One agent. according to the
Standard, WIS in Great Falls last Sat
urday gathering up men and teams
and sending them on to Harlowton as
fast as he could get them together.
Two car loads of horses were brought
up Saturday to Harlowton, and
on Wedne sday there was an outfit in
Billings headed this way.
To show that the owners of the Mon
tana railroad are making general i'm
provements all along the line, a car
load of workmen was brought in Sat
urday to work on the main line be-
tween Lombard and Harlowton, and
1t Is said that by the time the line is
completed into Lewistown it will be
as good as any short line railroad in
the west. To know that 1t is badly
needed one has but to see the piles
transportation to Lewistown. Hun
dreds of tons of goods, badly needed
here, lie there liable to injury simply
because there are no means by which
they can be moved. Few teams are
on the roads and those that are brav-
ing the almost impossible roads make
but a slight diminuition in the con-
stantly increasing mountain of freight
at the Harlowton freight house
Passenger traffic is also materially
interfered with, as only those who
are absolutely compelled to make the
trip will come into this city via Har-
lowton so long as conditions remain
as they are at the present time. Geo.
w. Cook, who came in from Chicago
yesterday, telephoned his wife from
Garneill stating that he walked into
that place and was considerable ahead
of the coach. 1t Is with no intention
of knocking" the stage line that We
say this. as they are possibly doing
the best they can under the circum-
stances.
In this connection it may be men,
toned that city election will be held
tomorrow to determine whether or not
the railroad company shall be granted
a right of way along Ninth avenue.
They already have such a right away
along Eighth avenue, and 1t is gen.
orally understood that much less dam
age will be done to good residence
property If the road runs along Ninth
so there is no doubt that the new
franchise asked for will be granted
by a practically unanimous vote.

Rumored That Wool Rates West Of
the Mississippi to be Increased.
The usual spring talk about the
railroads and the all-lake routes rails
ing freight rates on Montana and

The story is that rates will be rails

As the story goes, the lake lines

space occupied, is not as desirable
as heavy tonnage freight.
Formerly the lake lines carried

differential will be only 2 cents.
