SAMIIEI. BISHOP.


 Samuel Bishop died at his residence, last. He had been sick only a few days, and was not regarded in any in- mediate danger. He was born in Mad ison, Conn.,, October 23, 1881, but had resided in this city since 1873. He was one of a large family of children, eleven sons and two daughters, being the seventh son. Of these there are only five now living, Captain Albert Bishop, William F. Bishop, Joseph R. Bishop and Mrs. George Jacobs, resi- dents of this city, and Mrs. N. c. Bud- dington of Springfield, Mass. His wife, who for many years was engaged in the millinery business, died three years ago. Since her death he had con- tinued the business, with the assistance of his daughter and niece. Two sons, Albert F. and Walter S., and one daughter, Mrs. James E. Woodhouse, are well known residents of this city. This sudden death of their devoted father, following so soon upon the loss of an affectionate mother, comes with peculiar sadness. Few families can be found more thoroughly united. The annual reunion was an occasion of un- usual gladness. MT. Bishop was high ly esteemed by all who knew him. For many years he had been most de- voted and useful member of the Grand avenue Congregational church, having united with the church in 1866, and was at the time of his death a member of the society's committee.

YEsTERDAY,S STOCK MARKET,
Gains Wiped Out tn Last Hour of Trad

Gains Wiped Out tn Last Hour of Trad New York, June 3.-The recovery again to-day by tn stock market from
 an opening depression and the disre-
 gard of some of the bad news of the day seemed to give fresh demonstra- tion that a stable basis of prices had been reached and after midday the price level was lifted quite substantial ly. But when the professional opera tors commenced to take profits in the last hour of the session the days gains
 melted away in short order and last prices generally show net losses. The
 opening setback was due to the report
 ed threat of a strike by the anthacite
 coal miners. The resulting decline in
 prices reached point or over not only for several of the coalers but for other leading representative railroad stocks. St. Paul. which continued to be accept
 ed as the index of the market, ran off 1 1-2. It became manifest at the de-
 cline that the short interest was avail
 ing itself of the opportunity to cover
 and at the same time support was in
 the market as on yesterday. A party of professional traders seeing the di-
 rection of things, commenced to buy
 and bid up stocks in an effort to take
 away the market from the shorts. A
 sharp recovery In the Canadian group
 from yesterdays demoralized break
 helped the movement. St. Paul was
 carried 1 3-8 over last night in the course of the movement Many other
 gains of point or more were achieved
 before the final setback occcurred. The
 comment by officials of the coal roads
 on the labor situati ton revealed a rather
 conciliatory spirit and an apparent will
 lingness to negotiate the dispute and
 on this the coalers made vigorous re-
 coveries. The improvement in the
 western weather situation and the sub sidence of the floods were taken as en-
 couraging factors and had added force
 by reason of the sharp reaction in the
 ments of gold for outgo tomorrow seemed to be ignored as the call money

ANONYMOUS LETTERS

VIOLENTLY
A Moral Committee of
Bozeman Sending White
Cap Messages.
spEclA1 TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.

SPEclM TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Bozeman, Feb 6.-Mysterous letters are
being received by prominent people in this
city, and threats are being made that un-
less certain people to whom the letters are
being sent amend their ways they will be
severely dealt with by the senders OF the
letters, who sign themselves THE Moral
Committee Some OF the letters say that
the parties to whom the letters are adj
dressed are living in an immoral way and
that they must reform at once. Several
married men have gotten these mysterious
warnings. Other letters have been re-
ccived by young women and letters have
also been sent to men who are charged
with living with women without the form
ality of marriage.
The writing OF the letters seems to have
been started by scene which took place
here the other night when a young mar
ried woman Of this city found her husband
in an immoral resort and shot at him
twice. The matter Of the shooting was
hushed up at the time, but the letter
writing seems to be the aftermath OF that
affair.

seems that when the British ambassador.

finished reading the cablcgram OF Lord
l.ansdownc containing his last proposition
Tor 20 aud 10 per cent division of the
customs receipts OF Porto Cabcllo and
La Guayra between the allies and the
other claimant nations respectively, Mr..
Bowen at once remarked in an emphatic
tone that the proposition was but another
scheme to trick Venezuela into abetting an
alliance against her for six years, and
probably longer. lie added that he would
not consent TO any scheme for continuing
the triple alliance ono day longer than he
was forced to. \ diplomatist stated after

Taken in the Boston

Butte was agtated today by the big
jump in Boston copper stocks. All the

at the close to $3a.so.

lows:
Osceola, $50; Parrott, $sI; Tamarack,
$I4o. He remarked This jump in
copper makes a good many people in

THEY HAD TALK WITH
THE COUNTY ATTORNEY

IDIllty ATTORNEY Brccn examined thcm
last evening as 10 what they knew about
the shooting, and ordered them both re-
leased from custody, upon their promising
to remain in the country and give evidence
at the trial of Brooks. What the ladies
revealed to Mr.. Breen is not known.
Mrs. Brooks is still detained for reasons
known to the county attorney. Mrs.
Brooks is taking different view OF tho
shooting today than she entertained yes,
terday, when she was still excited and had
not yet realized the seriousness OF the
case. She is now more impressed with
the character OF the event.
Brooks, under the advice OF his attorney,
still refuses to make more detailed state
ment Of the shooting than that already
published. County Attorney Brcen ex-
amined him in his office last evening but,
SO far as known. nothing new was elected

ALLIES OFFER SHOULD

London. Feb ct is officially an
nounced that the allies offer to submit the
method OF treatment OF their claims TO

will raise the blockade as soon as the pro-

is signed and will not await the decision
of The Hague court OF arbitration or that
OF President Roosevelt.
AT the German embassy il is said that
the blockade should be raised within a few

IDEA IS UNPOPULAR
Billings People Want the
Present Judges to Serve
Out Their Terms.
SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.

Billings, Feb. 6.--The attempt which is
being made by some OF the members OF
the bar OF this section to have a new
district created out Of this county and
Yellowstone county is not meeting with
general favor. The popular idea seems
10 be that Judge Loud and Judge Henry
should be allowed TO serve their terms
without interruption and that il new
district is to be created il should not be
done until after the terms OF these two
justices have expired.
The terms Of the two judges who will
be affected by the proposed creation OF
the district will expire at about the time
that the next legislature meets, and it is
held that then will be the proper time
for making the proposed move.

Helena. Feb. 6.--Heinze and the United
Copper lobby did their work well. ANA
jorty OF the judiciary committee reported
to the house this afternoon recommend

came somewhat as surprise. Nothing
was known of the plan TO present the

fore the house reconvened after the usual
noon recess.
The tip was passed around by the
United Copper lobbyists that their friends
on the committee had promised to bring
the matter to focus today, although the
original plans of the members did not
contemplate report until Monday. But
having secured a majority of the COM
mittee on the side of the copper commit

should force the members in the minority
