neers place the probable cost at from
$4,000 to $4,000, according 10 the kinds

tent Of the mains that will be laid. The
probability is that the council will at
an early date take steps to secure wa
ter and make preliminary arrangements
looking to the calling of a bond election

urged, and which the council may act
upon, is the paving of the sidewalks on
Main street. majority of the property

ing in the way of this work being done

ton of lighting the main streets of the

and is now confronted in the city court
with charge OF larceny. worked him
self into a sorry plight yesterday. Mon
day he had asked for the statutory time
in which TO plead. and yesterday after
noon at the opening of the docket call.
Attorney James Smith asked that his
name be withdrawn as counsel for the
defendant since ne had learned that an
other attorney had been asked to repre-
sent him. Judge Bowman accepted the
withdrawal. but Prosecutor Rogers pro-
tested against further continuance of
pleading, since the defendant had been
given the benefit of the statutory tine.
Under the ruling of the court. Curtis was
required to plead, entering plea of not
guilty. and later after q consultation

eater who usurped the front end of the
name. This name was somewhat cum
bersone, but was a dead easy cinch TO
pronounce compared to that of her
married sister. She was a member of
the Royal Opera company of Moscow
She had great success ali Mon Dieu,
thousands of roubles of success.
She sang before the car and the
czarina and the little czarettas Also
one happy day she met the Count Tam
len Rossi. That was when the heart
throbs began. She sang some warbling
notes for the counts especial benefit,
and he was completely fiabbergasted.
After trying all other conventional
methods of winning her heart. he at last
offered his hand in marriage. He was
a determined Russian gent, and he was
not to be denied. PaTbleu-or some
thing like that-he would have her or

live in a grand palace in Moscow. Two

But at last the countess grew tired of
the simple life. She had bunch that
the stage demanded her return. When
she told the count, he was furious. He
would go out in the backyard and throw
several fits, by Gar. She could not
stand his cruelty. He was despotic,
carissimma, he was brute.

the wife was a yassal. It is taken for
granted that when a woman wants to
leave her husband she is considered out
of her mind. What you call dippers,
is it?" asked Mons. Paulo- He can
have her locked up I'm an asylum.
A Thrilling Escape.
That was what the count did. The
countess remained in the asylum a
long time, always plotting to get out.
At this point Willard Weihe kindly con-
tributed some tremulous notes Finally
she bribed two guards. She gave them
all her diamonds and jewelry to get her
a uniform, so she could make up as
Russian general in full retreat
Thrilling, was it not?" Mons. Paulo
anxiOusly inquired
She perfected her escape. She crossed
the border with the assistance of
friends and went to Paris where, to
support herself she sang in the Theatre
FolieTes and the Morigny. She had
narrow escape from becoming poor
but honest working girl.
Hearing of a plot to abduct her, she
went to London, where she sang at the
Palace. Becoming frightened again. she
fed to America.
But she is in fear of her life Her
husband is following her and threatens
to take her back to Russia. She has
instituted divorce proceedings in New

him.
Meanwhile she sings birdlike notes to
charm her hearers, while away from the
theatre her heart pit-a-pats at every

For Larger Homesteads.

According to a recent Washington
dispatch, the conference committee
which has had the enlarged homestead
bill under consideration practically
all of this session of congress-, has
reached an agreement.
The bill, as agreed upon and which
will probably become a law. provides
for 320-acre homestead entries of
O n-timbered, non-irrigable land in
western states: provided, that in the
state of Utah. residence upon land
shall not be required until after the
aggregate acreage of land entered
under the act reaches 1900, 600 acres,
and provided that no land shall be
subject to entry until designated by
the secretary of the interior, as not
susceptible of irrig alton at a reasona-
BILE cost from a known water supply.

Novel Suit In Federal Court.

A case somewhat unusual in its ma
ture was started this forenoon in the
federal court before Judge w. H.
Hunt and a jury, says the Helena
Record. The case vas instituted by
the Bank of California against the
S%tockmen's bank of Fort Benton to
recover 81, 3C9. Is, the amount of a de-
posit check which the California bank
alleges it holds against the Montana
bank.
According to the allegation in the
complaint, two deposit checks aggre-
eating the amount referred to above,
were issued by the Stockmen's bank OF
Fort Benton to one Alexander T.
Carlberg. 1t appears that Carlberg
afterwards transferred and endorsed
his check to one G. C. Cummings
and another man whose name is be-
lieved to be Henderson, both of whom
We're proprietors or of a
saloon or gambling house in Tacoma.
The allegation is made that the trans
fer was made during the progress of a
game of what is known as ''stud
poker" The checks afterward came
into the possession of the California
bank and were presented to the Stock
mems bank through the Thomas Cruise
bank of this city for payment. The
StOckmen's bank, however, refused tc
honor the checks, and hence the action
to recover their face value and in.

Sentenced To Be Married.

HELENA, Feb. 11.-Thomas Handy,
a former South Carolinan, was made
the recipient in the federal court here
for what IL regarded as the most re.
markable sentence on record. Ham.
by, convicted on a bigamy CHI arge,
was not only fined 500 and sent to
Jail for six months, but also to marry
an Indian woman. Hamby's first
wife, learning of his marriage to
pretty Mary Labrecht;> q Blackfoot
maiden, secured his indictment and
then a legal separation for herself.
As a result of all the trouble the
Indian maiden, Mary Labrecht was not
a wife, but the judgment and direc.
lions of Judge Hunt combined have
Strengthened out the tangle. In sen.
fencing Handy this was what the
court said:
The sentence of the court is that
you pay a fine of 900 and serve six
months ia the Lewis and Clark county
Jail. Further, it is the direction OF
the court that you marry this young
woman and the marshal is directed to
see that it Is carried out and iat once.
Deputy Marshal j. w. Haigler took
the couple from the federal court to
the courthouse, got the license and
then played best man before the justice
and to show his heart was in the
right place kissed the bride.
