MONTANA


DILLON, Mont, Sept 12.-Word was
received by friends of Prof and Mrs.
e. S. Luce that Mrs. Luce was seri-
ously injured in the recent wreck near
the Royal gorge on the Denver & Rio
Grande and is at present confined in
the railroad hospital at Salida, Colo.
Mrs. Luce was en- route to San Francis
co with her aged mother, Mrs. Brown,
at the time of the accident. Her injuries
consist of a badly sprained shoulder
wrenched neck and back and many
bruises.
BUTTE-While a $40 Confederate bill
was being inspected in the sheriffs Of
fee the paper was accidentally dropped
on the floor and before 1t could be re-
covered the hill was snapped up and
swallowed by Jack, black water spaniel
belonging to Deputy Sheriff Jack Wy
man.
The bill was the chief reliance of the
prosecution in a case against county
jail prisoner for passing counterfeit
money. and now that it will no longer
be possible to produce the bill as an
exhibit in court, the case will probably
have to be dismissed.
LEWISTON-Floren E. Lamar, who

as they are so gentle that person can
get so close to them as to make a miss
almost impossible.
LEWISTOWN--George MCGEE, late of
Butte, the new superintendent of the
Barnes King, took charge of that big
property and there is a better feeling
among the men than has prevailed for
long time. Mr.. MCGEE has inspired
everyone with enthusiasm and it Is con-
sidered certain that he is going to score a
big success.
