Pioneer Is Laid in His Last
Resting Place.
LARGE AND SYMPATHETIC CROWD

tend the Simple Funeral Cere-
monies on Friday.

Helena, May 19.-With all the sim.
plicity and unostentation which char
acterized his life, the last sad rites
We're performed today over the body
of the late Edwin Warren Toole. Hun
dreds upon hundreds, his fellow
townsmen and acquaintances through
out the state, took occasion to honor
his memory by personal attendance
upon the funeral services, which were
held from the residence of Governor
Joseph K Toole, and at the old Ben
ton avenue cemetery, where the body
was deposited in it's last resting place.
In attendance upon the funeral were
pioneers, both men and women, who
had known the eminent lawyer from
the day he set foot in Montana, his
later day associates, and even chill
;iren who had learned to love him
because of his thoughtful and numer-
GUS acts in their behalf
All day long up to the hour of the
removal Of the body to Governor
ToOle's residence a constant string Of
visitors called at the late residence
OF the deceased, on Breckenridge
street, and most readily could be de-
picted in every eye the sorrow that
was felt over the death of Mr.. Too1e.
Shortly after 2 o'clock the Rev. Ar
thur Robinson Kasey opened services
by reading the burial of the Metho-
dist church, he standing and the 9th
ers remaining seated. 1t was listen
ed to with rapt attention, and at its
conclusion the choir from the Episco-
pal church sang Lead, Kindly Light
This was followed by remarks by
Rev. Mr.. Kasey, brief, yet most feel
ing.
The choir then sang abide With
Me-" which was followed by prayer
by the Rev. Mr.. Kasey. The choir
sang peace, Perfect Peace" which
closed the services at the governors
residence. A last opportunity was
then given those present to gaze upon
the familiar features. which was avail
ed Of by all.
The cortege formed and a start was
made for old Benton avenue Gene
terry, where rest SO many pioneers,
who blaZed the trails into Montana
and among whom are scores of the
dead mans close early day associates
At the cemetery the services We're
equally brief. With the depositing of
the casket came the reading of the
burial ritual of the Methodist church.
followed by prayer, the collect and
benediction by the Rev. NJ. Kasey.

ICE CREAM SEASON HAS OPENED
Wilson & McKeChnie Sell Many GAL
Ions OF Ice Cream at Openino.

A very successful opening took
place at the Wilson & Mckechnie drug
store on Saturday on the occasion of
the commencement of the ice cream
ana soda water season. The Race or
orchestra was engaged for the occa-
sion and first-class music was plaved
during the whole afternoon for the
delectation of the large crowds that
filled the establishment for hours.
Pretty floral souvenirs were given
away during the afternoon by Miss
Hazel Belden, who had consented to
act as the dispenser for the occasion.
The store was prettily arranged and
the display of flowers, the costumes
OF the lady patrons and the sparkling
display Of glassware made the scene
vivacious and interesting. 1t was al
so interesting to watch the expression
on the genial countenances Of Messrs.
Wilson & Mcekchnie as they washed
the dishes and annexed the elusive
root Of all evil" which flowed their
way during the whole of the after
noon, until they had to put the over
flow from the cash register in handy

WHISKY GUlCh AFFAIR OlIltJ.
An Effort Will Be Made. Says Nelson,
to Effect EerIy Settlement

According to a communication re
ceived from Judge G.. M. Nelson an
ellorl IS gong to be made at the
meeting of the stockholders Of the
Chicago Montana Mines company on
May 9th, at Lewistown, to readjust
matters and place the property again
in operation.
request was made by the Judge
that the creditors put off all efrort1
to secure settlement until after the
result of the meeting of he 9th is
learned. The claim of the third party
In the matter, the Central Montana
Mines company, has been withdrawn
pending settlement and the Judge
states that determined effort is to
be made to put everything on a sat
isfactory footing.
While the creditors OF the concern
are not enthusiastic over the promises
Of a settlement. it Is very probable
that the sale OF the property will be
postponed until after the meeting of
the directors. The withdrawal OF the
claims Of the third party does away
with the necessity for indcmnifying
bonds, which, under the former claims,
had to be put up to secure the sher-
IFS Office from loss.
There is no doubt but that this
property Is q valuable one II proper
ly developed and the adjustment Of the
present trouble would mean a whole
lot to Gilt Edge and that section of

WARRANT FOR FRRfTT SMITH.
Well Known Young Man Faces Serious
CharQeS.

Upon information furnished by the
officials Of the Bank Of Fergus County,
County Attorney Roy Il. Ayers last
Friday issued complaint against
Errett l.. Smith charging him with
the larceny of funds belonging to the
bank, the amount set forth in the
complaint being three hundred dollars.
A warrant for the arrest Of the young
man was issued to the sheriff the
same day and Sheriff Slater tele-
phoned to the deputy sheriff Of Broad
water county, located at Lombard, to
arrest Smith who left LewiStown on
the train that morning, at that point.
The warrant of arrest was served
at Lombard and Smith accompanied
the officer to Townsend, the county
seat of Broadwater county. From
there he was permitted to go to
Helena in the custody Of an officer
and returned home yesterday from
that city, Sheriff Slater having gone
over from this city.
As soon as he arrived in this place,
Smith went before Justice Mcfarland
and furnished a cash bond in the sum
OF $3.50, for his appearance at pre-
liminary hearing which was set for
June 9Th.
The affair has created no small SEN
sation in Lewistown. Errett Smith
held position as book keeper in the
Bank of Fergus County for about nine
years and alao enjoyed the confidence
and trust Of the officials of that insti-
tuition. The officials say that the de-
falcations were for comparatively
small amounts. During his residence
here, Errett made hundreds of friends,
many of whom are loyal to him in his
hour of trouble, and all of whom hope
to see the matter speedily adjusted.
