BANK RoBBER SUSPECT SUR
RENDERED BY BoNDsMEN.
WARNED BY HIS SISTER
Important Information Promised Sher.
if by Rancher in Western Part
Of Carbon County.

Red Lodge, Jan. 4.-Pat Murray
who vas arrested with the three al
legged Bridger bank robbers now lying
in the Carbon county Jail, but who
was released on $1,000 bail, has been
reincarcerated, his bondsmen having
revoked the bond.
This is said to be due to the action
OF Murray's sister, Mrs. Max j. Keck-
Ter of Havre, who is here on ccoun
of the serious illness of another
brother. James Virtue, Martin Golden
and George Taft were on the bond.
To them Mrs. Keckler went, declar-
ing that if they wanted to see Murray
here on the day of the trial, they had
better have him kept in Jail.
The bondsment acted at once, and
Murray is again in Jail. Important
developments in the bank robbery
case are expected this week, Sheriff
Potter having received a message
from a rancher, in the western part
of the county, where the suspects
were arrested, asking the officer to
come there at once, as he has some
thing important to disclose.

WRECK ON SOUTHERN RAILWAY

Birmingham, Ala, Jan. A pas
senger train from Atlanta to Birming-
ham on the Southern railway was
wrecked near Weems station last
night, but the details are meager. A
report has reached the superintend-
ent's Office that a locomotive and four
coaches were overturned and that
the engineer and fireman are missing.
Several persons are said to have been
injured and a relief train has been
sent from Birmingham, carrying ply
sicians and officials of the road.
Local express officers here have re-
ceived a telegram stating that the
express messenger was severely in
jured.
AS the relief train sent to the wreck
had not returned at 2:30 a. NJ, the
local officials of the Southern say
they are in complete ignorance as to
the true extent of the wreck.

DEAD MAN UNIDENTIFIED.
Men Injured in Wreck Do Not Know
His Name.

Missoula, Mont, Jan. 4.-The two
men injured in the freight wreck at
Schulder's spur Thursday evening
were brought to Missoula yesterday
and taken to Parsons hospital for
treatment. They gave their names
as James McFadden and G. w. Wood
worth. McFadden gives his residence
as Commerce, Nc. He has a broken
leg and a broken shoulder blade, as
we'll as several severe bruises about
the body. Woodwork halls from
Clinton, Mo-, and sustained evere
scalp wounds. They state that while
the man who was killed was riding in
the same a with them they do not
know his name. His remains are be-
ing held at Thompson, where Justice
Wilson, acting as coroner, will hold
the inquest. The railroad officials
have as yet been unable to learn the
dead mans name or anything about
him, further than the information Civ
en- by the two injured men, who state
that they first met him at Bozeman
a week ago, but never met him again
until in this city Thursday, when the
three got into a car of machinery to
steal a ride west.
In the wreck this carload of ma
chinery was crushed between two
other loaded cars and heavy dyna-
mo was thrown on top of the unknown
man, killing him almost instantly.
McFadden and Woodwork were also
caught under the machinery and con
slider it marvellous that they escaped
with their lives.

CAREER OF THE FREMoNTs.
Strange Contrasts Of Fortune in the
Sunshine of Fame.

Chicago Record-Herald: The life
of Jessie Benton Fremont, who has
just passed away at Los Angeles, was
marked by a contrast of fortunes that
We find in it the reverse of that pas
sage from o%bscurity to fame which
is the comon history of American
celebrities. The fame not only came
very early, but in a me st generous
measure. 1t is safe to say that there
never was a young couple in this
country so widely known or of so
brilliant a reputation as Lieutenant
Fremont and his wife. Fremont at
30 was acclaimed as an explorer, both
in the United States and Europe. He
cleared up the chaos of western
America and vas ranked as a great
contributor to geographical knowl-
edge. At this period of his life also
he was the most conspicuous figure
in the movement for the annexation
of California and he was elected sena-
tor from that state before he was 40.
If in the half century that has clap
sed since he has come to be n Of
the least of the stars in the constel-
lation of national heroes, it is only
necessary to turn back to contempt
rary documents to discover that he
once shone Respondent among them.
Though he was but nine years older
than Grant, he had twenty years the
start Of him in general notoriety, and
he was a candidate for the presidency
five years before the civil war opened.
From that time, however, the eclipse
began. He was defeated by a demo-
crat and when the republicans became
prominent he was not accepted as
a leader, but was involved in jealous
alterations and left to struggle futile
ly against that most de%ploraDle of
fates-the living death of the nan
who has enjoyed the most %fattering
renown and who survives to find him
self neglected and well-nigh forgotten.
Throughout this career the wife
shared to an unusual degree the fame
and fortune of her husband. She, too,
was brilliant; she had a fine social
position; she was active and inf1uen-
tial in helping Fremont in every way.
But in a purely worldly sense the
result, in spite of a dazzling begin
ming, was forty years of failure and
disappointment, and the widow of
the pathfinder became an object of
public charity. For she was not pen
stoned as the widows of presidents
have been, but received her govern
mental allowance only after private
effort had been made to rescue her
from actual poverty.

BY REPRESENTATIVES WHO
HAVE ANTITRUST MEASURES
PUBLICITY PLAN
Administration Senators Will Endeav-
or to Secure Its Passage at
Present Session.

Washington, Jan. Instantaneous.
ly with the first publication today OF
the text of Senator Hoar's much ad.
vertised antitrust bill comes a no.
tice from the head Of the judiciary
committee of the house, Representa-
tive jenkins of Wisconsin, that the
bill is of no account and that the
trusts have nothing to fear from it
and the people less to gain. 1t is
Jenkins committee to which the bill
will be referred if it passes the sen
ate. Mr.. jenkins himself, Repre-
sentatives Littlefield of Maine and
Overstreet of Indiana, all members
OF the committee, and % other repub-
licans, have antitrust bills pending
in the house and those of them in
town today are "kuocking'' Mr..
Hoar's bill. Jealousy is alleged as
one reason. Mr.. Jenkins and asso-
ciates do not propose, so it is assert
ed, to allow MI. Hoar or any other
senator to have the glory of initiating
antitrust Legislation. Here is what
the judiciary chairman says of Mr..
Hoar's bill. st
"The principal constitutional OBJ
jections to the Hoar bill are that it is
a clear exercise of the police power
of the government never conferred
upon congress, but expressly reserved
to the states. In other words, it as
sumes to exercise powers enjoyed
only by the states. It operates as a
restraint upon commerce, something
beyond the power of congress to do,
as congress has only the power to
regulate commerce between the
states, and does not have the right
to restrict it. 1t interferes with the
liberty of contract guaranteed by
both state and federal constitutions
The disposition here is to regard
the Hoar bill as satisfactory as far as
farther than it does without exceed
ing the expectations of the general
public. Senator Hoar did not care to
go beyond President Roosevelt's pub
licity plan for the bill is almost en-
tirely devoted to the publicity propo-
sition which it covers thoroughly and
satisfactorily. 1t is believed there is
a chance for such a bill at this SEES
sion and the combined efforts of the
administration senators are to be ex-
erted towards putting it through the
senate as soon as possible. If the
bill had been sweeping in its provi-
sions it is certain it could not pass
the senate but in the present form it
is not likely to arouse so much an
tagonsm from the trust representa-
tives. AS an opening wedge for more
drastic legislation, therefore,, the bill
is important. Future congresses may
extend it's scope as opportunity offers.

Russia and Turkey.

There is something admirable in the
thoroughness with which the Russians
exacted reparation for the murder of
their consul at Monastir, says the Lon
don Globe. Not only was the actual
murderer prosecuted, but the sentry
who was present and did not give help;
the sentry who was not present, but
who ought to have been; the chief of
the gendarmerie for having placed wild
Albanians on duty; the captain Of the
company to which the murderer be-
ionged, and finally two Turkish officers
who were heard to speak disrespectful-
ly Of the dead consul. That is the way
to protect other Russian representa-
tives from insult, and we (English) only
wish our own government in similar
cases would act with as much energy
and thoroughness. sF

Municipal ownership is hobby in

recently decided to open a municipal
store for the sale Of all sorts Of mer-

says the Chicago Tribune. No money
will pass over the counters, but gro
ceries meats, dry goods and even coal
will be handled by the city and de-
livered to the dependents on orders
issued by the poormaster. 1t is claimed
that the plan will save the city more
than $1,000 a year. The store will be
for the sole use Of paupers, and will
be kept by the city poormaster.
Willing to Grind Maearoni.
At the annual meeting of the Russell

the future of macaroni wheat was dis

to the introduction of this flour and,
being in the business to furnish the
public with what it demands, will
grind the wheat into -four when there
is a demand for it. It is harder to
grind, the directors state, than ordi,
nary wheat and for this reason will be
more expensive to handle.
