Friends Were Successful in Their
Hunt Near Big Falls.

The first moose which has been

polls. The moose was killed near
Big Falls. 1t was a splendid speci-
men of the monarch OF the forest"
The moose, as we'll as two deer,
had been killed by party of Min
neapolis people, consisting of DR..
Sample, dentist, H. C.. Bruner and
and H. H. Austin, real estate dealers
of the "Milp' city. These gentlemen
did their hunting in the vicinity of
Big Falls>going north of that place
on the Big Fork river.
All three members of the party
were aboard the train this morning.
returning home to Minneapolis, and
they stated that moose are more
plentiful this fall than for several
years past, which is due undoubtedly
to the forest fires driving the moose
to points along the rivers.
DR.. Sample claimed the distinc-
ton of killing the moose, while Bru-
ner and Austin bore their honors of
easily of having each killed a deer.

| WASHINGTON, May l3.-At 430
tomorrow the house will vote On the
Vreeland currency bill. The best in-
formation indicates that the bill viii
pc passed BY small majority. When
the House meets tomorrow at 1l.30
| q resolution or order will Be reported
from the committee On rules sub
stantialy as follows: That the bill will
pc taken UP for consideration; that
the amendments be limited to one:
that general debate proceed until
$50; the time being equally divided
between the two sides Of the House
and at that hour vote to be taken.
The purpose Of allowing one amend
ment IS to give the democrats i
chance to move a substitution Of the
Williams bill for the Vreeland bill, the
idea being that some democrats after
casting complimentary vote for the
Williams bill will support the Vree-
land bill. Williams however, says if
this i the game, he does not propose
to be led into any such trap and viii
move the substitution Of the Fowler
Pill The hackers Of the Vreeland
oiil have no mind to allow this as
hey have work cut out for them
elves without bringing into the CON
roversy the Fowler bill which al
eady has caused hard feeling be-
ween the Republican elements. III
lew Of this il may be that tomor
ow's order will designate definitely
he Williams bill as the one amend
aent which will Be entertained. All
be leaders have issued strict caution
or all members to be in their seats
omorrow noon, It Is expected The
