DEED OF ONE MAN
SEARCHING FOR MURDERER OF
PORTLAND PAwNRRokER.

Portland, May 2.-Chief Of Police
Gritzmacher inclines to the theory
that Nathan Wolf, the pawnbroker
who was murdered Friday evening,

His theory is supported by the evil
dence Of M. L. Dubois, a cook en-
ployed in a restaurant a VOLTS
pawn shop. Dubois declares that
shortly before $50, he saw in VOLTS
store a strange man$behind the our
ter. Dubois says that this man had
apparently been moving and had Just
come to an abrupt stop and was star
ing directly at Dubois in 2 startled
manner. 8sf4
Detectives made a round Of the
:laundres in hopes the marks on the
collar left by the murderer would lead
to a clue. The effort q fruitless. A

stated that a tramp wearing neither

there selling cheap jewelry. Peace

THEIR MARRIAGE.

EsI 10 - ENa8sH HGE&WI MO E8 &FA L- 8
Rome, May 2.-one Of the greatest
difficulties in the marriage between
the Prince De sagan and Anna Gould
is the fact that the Catholic church,
not recognizing divorce, has refused
to annul Anna Gould's first marriage.
The prince is determined to marry
Nine. Gould, and to this end he has
decided to become a Protestant. This
will enable the couple to be united
by both a civil and religious marriage
ceremony. If the prince remained a
Catholic there could be no religious
ceremony, and consequently his wife
would not be accepted by society.

w. B. George returned yesterday
afternoon from a brief business trip
to Miles City ana other points in the
eastern part Of the state, and is
greatly surprised at the business &C
tivity shown in Custer county.
MI. George says building oper-
atoms were under way on an extern
sive scale, business blocks and resi-
dences being constructed without
number, besides the numerous inn
provements being made by the rail-
roads in that vicinity.
miles City seems to have awak-
ened to the fact that in order to be
a real live city it must encourage
settlers to settle there and develop
the resources Of that country" he de-
clared. "A large number Of stores
and business blocks are going up and
quite a few nice residences are being
built, all of which give the town a
metropolitan air.
Competition between the two rail-
roads is having its effect, which UNI
doubtedly accounts tor the extraor-
binary activity noticeable at the
present time. Prices are lower and
the general business conditions are
very much improved, more so, in fact,
than at any time in the history Of the
town.
"A strong effort is being made to
have the railroad shops Of the Mil
waukee road built there, and ]
understand the movement is meeting
with every encouragement from the
officials Of that road. In the event
Of the construction OF the railroad
shops there, Miles City will be ire
mendously benefited. I think the
future Of the city, as well as the
country thereabout Is very bright
and the town will undoubtedly be an
