Sample Case Stolen.

j. G. Mosher, travelling salesman
for the Schwartz Knitting company of
Minneapolis, was showing his samples
to his trade yesterday afternoon, and as
he was carrying three sample cases he
set one down on the sidewalk in front
of Fred Kron's store, while he took the
other two to Martin Walser's store.
This was about $3.50 p. m. When he re-
turned half an hour later the grip on
the walk was missing. Mr.. Mosher
made inquiries in the store for it. think
ing that someone had picked it up and
carried it within. Mrs. G. R. Bradley
was trading in the store at the time
and remembered having seen, rough
appearing man pick up the. grip and
carry it around the corner just as she
entered the store She told this, and
Mr.. Mosner at once went to the police
station and got the assistance of Of
ficer Riley. The officer got the descrip-
ton and went around to the American
House barn, where Junk dealer makes
his headquarters, and there he found
the man. The latter gave the name of
James Connor, and at first denied any
knowledge of the grip. 1t was as
certained from Max Wishnick, the junk
man, that Conner had tried to sell him
a sweater for fifteen cents.
Two sweaters were found stuffed
away in pair of trousers. Mr.. Wis
nick states that ne was sure the goods
were stolen and was about to notify
the police when the officer arrived.
The sample case had contained sweat
ers and hosiery to the value. of $50,
but Mr. Mosher found that nothing was
missing aside from the two sweaters,
which were recovered. Connor was
locked up. He gave his age as fifty-two,
and looked it, for he was turning gray.
He said that he is a single man and
that mis- home is at Huntington, Ind. He
claims to have been employed at lay
ing tile in Brown county and to have
come to the city yesterday in order to
work in the sewer, but said that he
had gotten 'crazy drunk" and did not
know what ne was doing. He did not
know any other reason for taking the
sample case.
Common was taken before Judge Com
stock this morning and at fire plead
ed not guilty to the charge of petit lar
ceny preferred by Chief Donahue, but
after consulting with Attorney George
f. Dyer he concluded to plead guilty.
The court said that the law does not
excuse offenses committed under, the in
fuence of liquor. He sentenced the de-
PENDANT to pay a fine of 500 and costs
or to be committed to the county Jail
for three months. He was committed
to, the. Jail.
County Attorney Wilson remarked
that according to his own statement the
defendant had committed two offenses,
if in addition to the larceny he had got
ten drunk.

The committee on Minneopa State
park location, appointed, by the Board
of Trade, grew quite enthusiastic on
becoming better acquainted with the
surroundings on the visit to the falls
Wednesday. The only regret seemed to
be that there were not enough funds to
purchase it all. It is to be hoped that
the state will acquire the wooded por-
tions as far as the Minnesota river, be-
fore it is cleared of timber.

There are few lawless parties Wis

acts of depreciation, such as cutting
trees, breaking limbs, starting fires
throwing rocks over the falls at risk
of accident to those below, shooting
song birds and squirrels, breaking down
gates and fences to get into the park
with teams, and hitcning them to trees
Station Agent Hodge has done what
he could to prevent such actions dur

many trees from destruction, but there
are, occasionally, parties that are UNI

They Hold for Two Years.

On Wednesday the Governor
signed the bill which provides that
all city officials be elected for two
years instead of one as heretofore.
The holdover members of the city
council are, by it, legislated out of
Office and two councllmen from each
ward will therefore be elected in
Montpelier this spring.
The bill requiring reglstratian for
city elections does not. carry an
emergency clause and therefore does
not become effective this year.

A Change in the First National.

At recent meeting of the board
of directors of the First National
bank, r. *. Sullivan rendered his
resignation as cashier, which was
accepted. E. A. Burrell was chosen
to succeed to Mr.. Sullivan and will
fill the position of cashier, in ad-
dition to that of vice. president Of
the institution.
Mr.. George E. Marks of Rock
Springs, was at the same time elect
ed assistant cashier, and he arrived
from Rock Springs Wednesday to
assume his duties. Mr.. Sullivan
will remain in the bank until about
the first of April and assist Mr..
Marks in becoming familiar with
the business and make HIM acquain-
ted with It's patrons. Mr.. Marks
has held a clerical position in the
! First National bank of Rock Springs
for several years and is therefore
quite familiar with national banking
methods. Besides his knowledge
of the banking business, he spent
two years in the study of law. He
comes highly recommended as a
young man of sterling character.
He appears to be very courteous IN
manners and man with whom the
patrons of the bank will find it a
pleasure to do business. He is q
single man and will no doubt be-
come a popular acquisition to ou1
young peoples society.
Mr.. Sullivan has not yet deter
mined where he will locate after
leaving the bank, but has two o.
three splendid positions under con
sideration.

ONLY SEVEN VOTED NO.
Bonds for the Irrigation District
Carried by a Vote Of Eighty
to Seven--What it Means.

The efforts of those who have
labored for the past three years for
the establishment of the Montpelier
Irrigation district, were crowned
with success last Monday, when, by
a vote Of 80 to Z, the electors within
the district voted for the issuance Of
1893, 900 in bonds for the purpose Of
constructing the canal. The carry
ing of the bonds means that Mont
pelier il about TO enter upon new
growth, for we believe that the way
is now perfectly clear for the estab-
llshment OF asystem of water works.
With the coming of water works
other progress will naturally follow
and we predict that within three
years Montpelier, will be abreast
with her sister cities in Idaho in all
matters pertaining to municipal i'm
provements.
The construction Of the canal also
means more to the farmers within
the district than many of them now
anticipate. 1t means that every
foot of tiliable land within the dis
trict will have all the water needed
for the maturing of crops. 1t means
that irrigation OF the land will be
conducted in asystematlc way--that
the farmer who owns l60 acres of
land within the district will not
have the least advantage over the
one who owns but 40 or 60 acres
both will be on an equal footing
and both will have all the water that
is required for their land.
! The succeeding steps leading up
to letting the contract tor construct
ing the canal will be taken as rapid
ly as possible. The action of the
people last Monday will be approved
by Judge Bulge, as the law requires,
on Saturday March %. The direct
ors will then advertise for the sale
of bonds and we understand that the
bonds will likely be taken by Salt
Lake capitalists. With the funds
IN hand, the directors will then adj
!, vertise for bids for building thu
canal, and when the work Is once
commenced it will be pushed t.
completion as rapidly as possible.

The people familiar with the history
Of Tombstone. Ariz., are inclined 10
believe that there is something in a
name Tombstone in 1878 became the
center OF attraction in Arizona to the
pioneer DrospectOrs Then the first
mines were opened up at that point.
The population quickly increased 10
over 5000 and il became the center
of mining activity in the Southwest.
The last census gave the population
as 400 The mines are worked out
and the population has drifted away
to more prosperous camps. Therefore
the town has indeed come to merit its
name. for il marks the burial spot
OF many blasted hopes.
Many another Western mining town
has had the same history. though few
have so aptly told il to the world in
