THE HOUSE IN THREE STATES
Remarkable History of Three Broth.
ers Born in the Same House, But
All in Different States,

Montana Is believed to possess three
brothers with a history more remark
able than has heretofore been known.
The story is vouched for by Col
Thomas c. Marshall of Missoula, Re
publican national committeeman from
Montana.
I belieye," SAID Col Marshall. that
the history of the brothers stands I'M
prscedented in the annals OF Amer
lean history. That they should be born
in the same house, and at the same
time, each born in different state,
seems incredulous, and all the more
so when 1t is stated that the house
stands on its original site.
These brothers are named Wright,
and are now residents of Missoula
county, Montana. When the elder OF
these three brothers was born, that
particular section of the county was
in Oregon. as portion OF the Louis
lana purchase.
Several years later a second boy
was born to the Wright family. but in
the meantime Idaho had been segre-
gated from the original territory, and
therefore he was antive OF Idaho.
and his elder brother was an Oregon
ian.
Again son was born to Mr. and
Mrs. Wright. but he was neither an
Oregonian nor an Idahoan, but a Mon
tanan, the treasure state having been
sliced from Idaho in the meantime.
Thus three brothers were born in the
same house and each in a different
state.
They are getting along in years,
but the house still stands and is still
occupied by the Wright family

PAPERS MANY CENTURIES OLD
Explorers interesting Find in the
Ruins of an Ancient City IN
Western China.


DIR. M. Aurel Stein, in lecture be-
fore the Royal Asiatlc society, de-
scribed his recent explorations In
western China and eastern TurkeStan.
| He said that in the sandy desert
| northeast of khotan the first ruin
cleared was relatively small dwelling
covered with three or four feet OF
sand In one room he came across
specimen after specimen OF ancient
records and correspondence in the
Italian language, and script, probably
left behind LOO years ago as waste
paper by an official.
In another place he found seven feet
below the surface curious Sweeplngs
of all sorts-rags of silk. cotton and
embroidery, fragments of bone. lac
querware and IA dozen small tablets
inscribed in Chinese characters of an
exquisite penmanship. These tablets
were apparently forwarding notes OF
consignments. He further discovered
small heap OF corn in perfect preser.
walton and the mummihed bodies OF
two mice.
While clearing the refuse from
group of ruins he made a particularly
rich haul of ancient documents The
documents, some OF them three feet
long. suggested that a great official
had lived there. A rectangular docu-
ment proved TO have the seal of the
envelope unbroken Inside were
closely packed layers of papers
agreements which had been kept
sealed so that in case of need their
validity might be established.
