After Forty Years

Last Saturday forenoon Undertaken
Keyser and Perry Dovel took up the
remains of the soldier buried near the
site of the old pest house over forty
years ago and deposited them in the
city cemetery. The soldier died from
smallpox. There was only few bones
in the box, the clothing and flesh having
,rotted away. Nothing remained by
which the indemnity of the man could
be learned. The removal of the re-
mains was made necessary by the
opening Of Idaho street to the east.
Since the above was put in type we
learn from Mr.. Keyser that the mans
name was Major Barkwell and that he
died in March, 1859. He was not a
soldier, but was q teamster and caught
the smallpox while teaming between
here and Hamilton during the White
Pine excitement.

Last Friday four prisoners at the county
jail made their escape, Joe Torigne, who
had just been convicted of attempted rob-
berry, being one of them. IT appears that
some outsider has duplicate keys to the
county Jail including keys to the cells, and
whenever he desires to aid prisoners to es-
cape he simply unlocks the doors and turns
them loose. This is the second delivery
made in the same easy manner in the last
two or three years. We understand that
two of the escaped prisoners were recap
tured at Wolf Point. but Joe Torigne and
another are still at large. Torigne had

ish Columbia house fuel has been sta

ern fuel cmpany dominated the mar
ket and was in a position to dictate
to every one connected with the trade
the SO rate remained in force.
Now. however the Pacific Coast coal
company, one of the Western fuel con-
GERMS strongest competitors and a
heavy importer of Australian coal, is
out with the announcement that. COM
mencing today, they will supply the
trade with the best fuel obtainable
in the land of the southern cross at
$3.50 ton.
A desire to stimulate business during
the summer and the fact that cargoes
may be brought in at a much lower
cost than heretofore because Of a de-
cline in ocean freight rates are the
reasons given for the drop in the
price.
With some of the large retailers, the
price to consumers OF Australian coal
will come down from s12 to $40 ton
today, and it is generally believed that
the smaller handlers will follow their
lead. EAy4

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
NEW YORK, June s.-St. Paul dis
patches brought to Wall street today
the report that James j. Hill had found
a way to merge in single corpora
ton all his railroads. Great Northern,
Northern Pacific. Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy and Colorado and Southern.
Hill has been looking for way TO
get around the sherman antitrust law.
For several weeks he has, been in con-
suItation with his legal advisers. The
decision in the Spokane rate case is
said to have hastened the completion
of his plan.
The st. Paul dispatches give few de-
tails, but suggest the probability that
all the Hill holdings will be turned
over to the Colorado and Southern, re-
Gently bought by Hill from Edwin
Hawley.
The Colorado and Southern, which
has very broad charter, does not par
allel any of the other Hill lines. Hills
lawyers have advised him that the gov
ernment can not successfully attack
such combination because of the ter
ritorial position of the Colorado and
Southern.
