TRAIN ROBBER IDENTIFIED.
Great Northern Bandit a Former

who held up the Great Northern ORR.
entail limited train at Rondo in this
county, September II. They consented
to return to Montana from Spokane
with Sheriff O'Donnell without the
formality Of having requisition papers
issued, and with the exception of max
ing bold effort and putting up hard
fight for liberty on the way to the
train in Spokane, they caused the
sheriff no trouble.
The bandit giving his name as F..
Smith is recognized here as George
rankhauser, who was convicted in
this county October 13, 1898, OF the
crime of burglary and sentenced to a
term of fourteen years in the peniten.
tiary.
Frankhauser broke into a Great
Northern boxcar at Jennings. a sta.
tion not over % miles from Rondo,
the scene of the train robbery, and
stole quantity of liquors. While in
Jail at that time awaiting his trial he
caused the authorities some trouble
and it was with difficulty that the
sheriff was able to produce him at his
trial. He was allowed full time at the
penitentiary for good behavior, and
was released January 10, of this year,
having served eight years and three
months.
Nothing is yet known of the record
of the man calling himself Mcdonald.
The two men claim to have recently
been at Butte and spent considerable
sums of money. They had evidently
returned and raised their cache in the
mountains in the vicinity of the hold.

1t is expected that Frankhauser will,
when the time arrives, plead guilty in
hope of receiving lighter sentence,
and inform the authorities where the
balance of the S4O,O 900 can be found,
nearly $15,0 900 of which was recovered
at the time of their arrest.

May Avert Money Famine.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Dispatches
received by Comptroller Ridgley show
that many national banks in all parts
of the country complied with his re.
quest that banks increase their circu.
lation where the limit prescribed by
law is not already reached. An alb.
solute adoption of this suggestion
would increase the circulation to more
than 5000, 900, 600.
Officials OF the department say that
national banks hold the key to the
situation. The immediate pressure
for ready money would be relieved if
they co.operated.

or a citizen when accompanied by an
officer: that when making purchases
of junk the junk dealer must secure

this ordinance fines from $500 to

Many Good Reasons.
Alderman Plank addressed the
council stating that there had been
many complaints by citizens and Of
ficers to the effect that junk dealers
had been known to purchase articles
that had been stolen, although they
probably did so innocently. but had
refused to allow their places to be
searched or inspected and refused to
answer questions in many instances
that might lead to a recovery of lost
property. Mr.. Plank believed that
this ordinance would be a solution
to this difficulty. It was the opinion
of nearly all of the aldermen and
the mayor that the ordinance was
good one excepting that the Ii
cense fixed was too high for the busi-
ness. Mr.. Plank agreed to this. 1t
was also suggested that the ordin-
auce be made to cover second hand
dealers also, one of the aldermen de-
clared that it had been found that
second hand dealers had purchased
more stolen goods than had been
purchased by junk dealers.
1t was finally agreed to refer the
ordinance back to the author so that
changes, making the license lower
and making the ordinance affect sec
ond hand dealers, might be made.
When these changes are made the
ordinance will pass beyond a doubt

THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
Recent Attempts to Tabuiate tho

Every now and then some natural

acknowledged that its results are very
uncertain. We are far from knowing
all species, and there is yet a delight

TO BUILD HOUSE IN DAY,
Thomas A. Edison Says New Method
Will RevoIutionize Building.

New York.-In greeting the Mem
bers of the American Electro-C Chemical
society and showing them through his
laboratories and manufacturing plants
at Orange, N. j., Thomas A Edison
showed his visitors big model of a
three-story house.
81 have had New York architects
working on the plans of that" he
said, "and am ready to begin on it
myself. In fact, l already have made
the models for the window castings.
Next summer I will build just such a
house within IL hours at an expense
of $1,000, and the man who labors
on it will know that it was built on
his basis of wage-$150 a day.
What l am going to inaugurnte," ,"
he said, 'is this: am going to fash
ion cast iron models for the entire
house This outfit will cost 100000
for house of this design. All the
builders will have to do is to put it
up and pour in the concrete. Then
they will allow six days for settling
and drying and the family may move
in. The cast iron mold of that house
may be used on countless other build
ings.
The economic value of this rests,
for one instance, in that the house
will never be in need of repair The
roof and floors will be of concrete; ;
the concrete will be made on the site;
there will be no fire insurance: as an
other instance of its saving value, the
man who owns the house can let his
children hack at it with hatchets and
axes and lose nothing. There will be
no wood in it save for a strip upon
which carpets may be tackled"

have been partially wrecked during

At that moment Lieut. Cronan no

that had been put in play must have

the dangerous stuff glistening be-

the breechlock to grind upon these
grains, the latter would become ig-
nited and explode the entire charge Of
powder in the gun, blow off the
breechlock, and kill and MAIN those

and turret. Oblivious of the fate that
threatened every one in the turret, as
the gunner was in the act of swinging
the block Lieut. Cronan rushed for
ward and plunged his right hand be-
