Seattle, July 12. Tenders fol

Northern Pacific known as the
Lolo Pass cutoff, were openec

The announcement that bids
for the construction of the Mis-
soula-Kooskia road have been
opened confirms the report of
several days ago to the effect the
Northern Pacific was inaugurat-
ing construction work on the new
road.
Since the first break Of spring
this year the Northern Pacific
has been crowding the engineer
ing work from both the Missoula
and Kooskia terminals and every
man that could be employed to
an advantage in any feature of
this work has been sent to the
front. The clearing of the right
of-way on the Montana side was
commenced by the railroad COM
pany some time ago preparatory
to the actual construction by the
contractors and for several weeks
a large force has been reported
on the Montana side awaiting the
arrival of the construction equip
ment.
The awarding of the contract
will be shortly followed by the
Inauguration of construction at
Kooskia and Missoula and be-
cause of the heavy rock work to
be encountered at points near
Lolo pass it is expected supplies,
equipment and rock men will be
rushed to these places at the
earliest possible date. The trails
on the high mountains will be
practically closed to travel after
September but by carrying in the
necessary supplies and equip-
ment before that time the rock
work can be carried forward
during the winter without en-
barrassment. The work on the

ALTMAN TESTIFIES
AGAINST CAPTAIN
INDICTMENT FOLLOWS STORY
OF SALOON KEEPER
TELLS OF $500 BRoADHEAD HAD
AUGUST 20
Grand Jurors Return True Bill Against
Former Chief Immediately After
Hearing Liquor Dealers
Evidence

That the testimony of Alex Altman,
First street saloon keeper, had pecu-
liar bearing in determining the special
grand jury to return an indictment
against Thomas H. Broadhead, former
chief of police, was learned yesterday.
Until Altman entered the jury room
and began telling his story the jurors
were lost in a wilderness of uncorrobo-
rated statements, but it was noted that
his departure was followed by the sum-
moning of bank employees, and especial
ly those in charge of safety deposit de-
rartments of financial institutions.
Substantially, Altman is believed to
have told the Investigators that August
90 1905 the day on which Nick Oswald
was told to close his houses in the red
light district, Broadhead had in his
possession $500 in money. Later the
same day he is said to have met Alex
Altman, to whom he gave $500, receiv-
ing Aikman's check for that amount
in return. Still later that day, 1t Is
claimed. he again met Altman, who
accompanied him to the Securities Saw
ings bank, where Broadhead stated he
had S11O0 in a safety deposit box. This
money, it is alleged, was also given to
Altman, and a check for the amount
was given by the saloon keeper in re-
turn.
Explanation Discredited
came in the first instance puzzled the
jurors, but Broadhead is said to have
explained it by saying it was borrowed
from S. j. Quint, police surgeon, who,
il was claimed, took it from his safety
deposit box at the Commercial National
bank. This carried the investigation
into the banks records, and the fact, it
is said. was disclosed that CUNTS box
was not visited the day on which the
money is said to have been taken
from it.
The first knowledge that Broadhead
had the sum mentioned August 20 was
furnished the jury, it is understood, by
officers of the land company through
which the former chief of police pur-
chased 24O acres of land at Corcoran,
large payment having been made on
the property about that time.
Furthermore. it is said for the pur-
pose of disarming any suspicion that
might arise. Broadhead gave his note
for $500 to DR.. Quint August ~. the
naner nurporting to be security for a
loan that was never made.
