TRIcT COURT ROOM ToMoR-
ROW MORNING.

The preliminary hearing in the case
of James Sherman, charged with the
murder of Samuel Studzinski, has
been set by Justice Of the Peace w.
T. Mcfarland for 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. Both sides will be ready
to proceed at that time, and it is ex.
pected that the hearing will be a
rather short one, as the state will
simply offer sufficient testimony to
warrant holding the defendant, and the
defense is not likely to offer any evil
dence at all at this time. J. c. Hun
toon, Sherman's attorney, has been
busily engaged for several days past
in preparing to make a defense, but
the exact nature of it is known only
to himself and client.

The hearing will be held in the dis

office is too small to accommodate all
who will have to attend, to say moth.

not considered in making this ar

er County Attorney o. w. Belden has
been retained by the state to assist
County Attorney Roy e. Ayers in con
Quoting the prosecution. There are
no new developments whatever in the
case, and notwithstanding all the
rumors and talk, Sherman has not
made any statement whatever since
Mr.. Huntoon was employed to de-
fend him.

ZIMMERMAN'S
SUDDEN DEATH
POPULAR ELK WAS VICTIM OF
AN ATTACK OF AP-
OPLExY.

Great Falls, Dec. 28.-An inquest
was held yesterday afternoon at Nc
Allister's undertaking rooms over the
remains of Joseph II. Zimmerman, the
musician and piano tuner, who died
at the city Jail Sunday evening. and
the jury found that the deceased had
come to his death from an attack OF
apoplexy. The indications of this
disease were SO plain that it was
thought unnecessary to hold post
mortem examination.
The following witnesses testified al
the inquest: William Hall, night Jail
er at the city Jail; Bert Allfrey and
Fred Crew, walters at the Gerald
cafe: William Grills, proprietor of the
Gerald, and Officers Locher and Pow
ers. The testimony showed that Zim
norman came into the Gerald cafe
shortly after s o'clock on Sunday ev.
ening and ordered meal, and that
before it was prepared, he became
violently sick. The people in the res.
taurant, thinking that Zimmerman
was suffering from the effects of al.
cobol, took him into a back room and
made him comfortable, and shortly
afterward notified Officer Powers, who
was passing. and the latter, assisted
by Officer Locher. removed thinner.
man to the city Jail in a hack
Mistake Of the Officers.
At the Jail he was made as com.
Portable as possible, the officers and
jailer thinking that he was intoxicat-
ed. About an hour after his arrival
at the Jail, Hall, the night jailer, was
notified by one of the prisoners that
Zimmerman had apparently ceased to
breathe. Hall hastily notified Drs.
Gordon and Southmayd, and Chief of
Police Pontet, but the physicians, on
their arrival pronounced Zimmerman
dead.
Coroner Brady arrived shortly after,
and made an examination of the body,
also questioning the other prisoners
and jailer and afterward the people
at the Gerald, concerning the symp-
toms shown by the deceased, and an
explanation of these to the jury con-
vinced them that apoplexy caused
Zimmerman's death.
Had Not Been Drinking.
There was no testimony to show
that the deceased had been drinking
prior to his sickness, or that he had
taken a drink since his arrival in
the city. and his friends who were
with him during Sunday afternoon,
declare that such supposition is alb.
surd. as he had been working during
the afternoon, and afterward his ac-
tions are accounted for up to the
time that he entered the Gerald. Be
sides this. it is stated that thinner
man was not a drinking man. rarely
touching liquor, and never drinking
to excess.
Jacob Zimmerman. of Helena, a
brother Of the deceased, arrived here
today to take the body east for in
terment.

Will Just Captain Trains,

Great Falls. Dec. 28.-The cOnduc-
tors on the Great Northern road will
not do anything but captain their
trains in the near future is the report
which comes from the high officials
OF the road. It is stated that in Or
der to promote safety and efficiency
OF service on the passenger trains, the
officials of the road have taken this
step and the custom which has been
adopted, only on some of the trains

Northern trains. The matter has been
under consideration for a long time,
IL is stated. and has been at last de-
finitely settled.

Select Prison for Cassie.

Cleveland, Dec. 28.-Announcement
was made today that Mrs. Cassie Chad.
wick would serve her sentence in a
federal prison, either at Atlanta, Ca,
or at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
She will be temporarily committed
to the Columbus penitentiary, to which
she was sentenced by Judge Tayler.
This will be merely to avoid techni-
calities.
The reason for the change in plan
ia that the federal authorities do not
want power to parole the woman TAX
en- from them. In a decision Judge
Tayler held that the city had the right
to parole Joseph Naples, a federal
prisoner, from the work house. The
judge added that wherever the parole
system exists in state penitentiaries
the board of pardons of such peniten-
taries has the right to parole the pris-
Oners.
Section 5546 of the revised federal
statutes gives the attorney general of
the United States the right to trans
fer prisoners from state or other pris-
ons to federal prisons. United States
District Attorney Sullivan declined
to affirm or deny the story.

but larger under present conditions

Chicago Wool Market.
Although there is a better demand
for clothing woods than for several
weeks past, still as a whole business
has not improved to any perceptible
extent, and yet dealers consider trade
in healthy but quiet condition. This
is the time of the year when little
activity is known for the mills are
busy working home supplies and con.
sumers take scarcely any interest in
wool excepting for some special lines
for near use. The mills are we'll en-
ployed and using wool these days of
the high medium and half blood
grades, though there begins to be
some inquiry for the low medium
and quarter blood grades and later
on holders anticipate an increase in
the sales of these last sorts. There
were soem small sales Of unwashed
fleeces on the medium order, also the
same can be said as to the low woods,
however dealers look for an increased
demand for the woods after the turn
of the year. Sampling Of territory
wools lead holders to anticipate sales
of these feeces after stock taking is
over and the manufacturers have as

kind Of woolens they must produce
for the coming seasons trade Pull
ed wool met with fair inquiry, espec-
tally the medium brushed stock, and
as the wool improves in length each
week It is expected this wool will fig

and become favorite with many man.
ufacturers. The sales of secured wool
have materially increased and about
all the grades produced in the local
market are wanted at prices said to
be satisfactory to the dealers. With
out doubt staple wools are considered
as strong as for the past few months
and any price concessions on these
woods are caused by their defects, and
the same is true for the strictly cloth
ing woods. although the demand has
fallen below the expectations of the
dealers. The outlook for the wooden
goods occupies the attention of the
manufacturers at the present time,
while much uncertainty is expressed
by them as to the business for the
next season, and still when all things
are considered conditions are by no
means of a discouraging nature, ev.
