STORM is BROKEN.
Old Sol Shows His Face Once More
Hereabouts.

HereaOOUISs {
Continuation of the stormy weather
in the west has resulted in an almost
complete upsetting of train schedules.
Time tables have been of little use
during the last four or five days and
arrival of trains has become good
deal matter of getting there.
No. 4, the Twin City express, due
here Sunday night at II o'clock, did
not arrive until yesterday afternoon
and was passed by No. 2, the east
bound North Coast Limited, which
steamed into the station about an hour
earlier. No 6, the Burlington, also was
delayed several hours, but neither OF
the last two trains mentioned ex-
perienced as much difficulty in getting
through as No. 4.
Locally no change occurred in the
weather until yesterday about noon,
when the skies cleared and the sun
once more showed his face and kept
his countenance to view until even
Ing. Snow continued to fall all OF
lFriday, Saturday and Sunday, with
but slight intermission. Sunday and
Sunday nights fall aggregated fully
six inches, making total of foot
or more that fell in the valley.
Unlike ordinarily, a low tempera-
ture accompanied the snow and wealth
er exceptionally cold for this time OF
year prevailed. Yesterday morning
the thermometer registered six below
zero in different points about the city,
making it the coldest weather expe-
rienced in almost year, as last year $
lowest registration, in December, was
but little, if any lower.
AS yet no damage is reported TO
stock on the range, either on account
of the snow or cold With a change
of weather those who are so unfortun-
nate as not to have an abundance OF
feed are beginning to feel easier, as 1t
postpones the time when feeding will
have to begin. Sheep and cattle have
left the water holes and are now
grazing on the winter range, which,
with the exception of a few favored
spots, is not what it might be, as
grass is short, making it necessary
to feed long before the. usual time.

HAS ESCAPED AGAIN.
Blonde Female Forger Successfully
EIudes Mssoula Officers.

The blonde woman who victimized
a number of local merchants by 4;l-
ducing them to advance cash on forg-
ed checks has been heard from again.
After making a raise of about 5000 at
Missoula in the manner she did here
she and the man and child who are
travelling with her left for the west.
1t was learned that they had bought
tickets for Standpoint, Idaho, and a
deputy sheriff went in pursuit. When
the officer got there the trio had dis
appeared and it was believed that they
took a Great Northern train and went
north. At all events, no trace of them
deputy returned to Missoula without
having come within sight of the game
he was hunting.
1t now develops that after leaving
Billings the outfit went to Miles City,
but remained there only a short time,
probably few hours. Information OF
the woman's work here had preceded
her, the Miles City newspapers hav-
ing reprinted the accounts published
here of her operations. Either she
or her husband evidently learned
this, for they did not attempt their
game at that place.
In response to inquiries by Sheriff
Hubbard the sheriff at Miles City
wired back that the party had been
seen to leave the train there and had
gone up the Tongue river. He was
confident that they would return be-
fore evening and then he would arrest
them. Instead of going into the coun-
try as it was believed by the Miles
City officer, it appears that the for
gers went into hiding and took the.
next westbound train and returned,
continuing to go until they reached
Missoula, where they were next heard
from. sC
