Cores guilt for rustling cattle in
the vicinity in which he resides,
and on Saturday of last week strong
evidence to that effect was brought
to light when Deputy Sheriff j. D..
Wynn and Under sheriff Reed of
Miles City drove into the country
south from Wibaux, to investigate
the condition of affairs. Immedi-
ately upon their arrival at Cores
home they were successful in To-
eating the carcasses of two beeves.
which evidently had not been
butchered long. They also found
the hides, both of which had GER
tain parts cut away from them,
which would go to show that the
action had been taken to destroy
the brand. Through further in
vestigation the officers secured
proof that Gore had recently sold
two beeves to parties in the vicinity
where he resides.

London.-A Rochdale undertaken
other day. During the last few days
traveller named James Fegan, 26
years of age, whose parents reside in
Christian street, Preston, has been Sc
riously i'll with pneumonia at his lodg-
ings in Rochdale. During the whole
of Thursday night he was extremely
i'll, and apparently died at seven o'clock
Friday morning.
A brother and sister of Fegan. who
had been summoned from Preston, and
! the inmates of he house assured
themselves that the man was dead,
and straightway began to make ar
rangements for the funero' The blinds
were drawn and the doctor was in
formed that death had taken place.
He prepared the customary certificate
and arrangements were made about
some insurance money.
The undertaken was informed. and
three hours after death was supposed
to have occurred he proceeded to the
lodgings of Fegan When he reached
the room he found the mans head
propped up with pillows rather high,
and one of the pillows was removed
in order to secure a more correct
measurement. The undertaken. Albert
Haywood, had already taken one meas.
urement, and was proceeding with a
second in order TO verify the first,
when he was startled to see the body
slightly heave. At first he thought he
must have been mistaken, but after
waiting a second or two the body
heaved again, and there was slight
twitching of the eyelids, which had
been closed by the person who had
laid out" the body.
Mr. Haywood informed the brother,
who commenced to shout wildly:

lain in a cold room three hours, with
only a sheet covering his body. BY

She gave a quick exclamation and
seized the clerks arm systematically
as a scream fioated out suddenly on
the air, seeming In the solemn night
silence to fill the whole building, so
that IL was impossible to Judge from
what direction II came. The clerk, be-
wildered, not knowing which way to
turn, stood looking helplessly this way
and that while the girl chung to his
arm, white and speechless with fright.
The sudden opening of a nearby
door, as a startled guest poked his
head out, reused the clerk from his
stupor, and wrenching his arm free
from the girls frantic grasp he sprang
along the hall and down the stairs to

molishment of what shreds of sanity
had remained to him, another woman
in night attire, stretched on the floor,
and over her recumbent body stood
the burly form OF policeman with his
night-stick drawn.
