Centralia, H., Dec. 23.-Nora Gar ren, the 15-year-old Walnut Hill schoolgirl who was made dangerously i'll by eating poisoned candy, recov- cred sufficiently to declare that the candy was given to her by Helen James. 13 years old. It Is asserted that jealousy has been aroused be- cause her beauty made her the center of attraction for all of the boys in the school.
 The nature of the poison which was administered has not been deter mined More than loo drops, known as red-hots, weer placed in a small grocer's bag and saturated with the drug. This package, Nora declares was given to her by Helen James in the cloak room before the opening of school.
 She placed the bag in her desk and a few minutes later ate a few of the drops Within twenty minutes she became deathly sick and the teacher, James Smith, ordered that she be taken to her home. more than mile away. Her brother Bert -Garren, who attends the same school, went with her, supporting and half carrying her most of the way.
 When a physician was summoned he suspected poisoning and later, when the patient became unconscious, his belief was confirmed. He expects the girl to recover, but she is not out of danger.

STOCK WAR WACEO
ON THE BLACKFO0T

Helena. July 2G.-(SpeciaD-Ne
was received in Helena today that the
trouble between the sheep and cattle
men on the Blackfoot above Lincoln
has broken out again. The sheep camp
of Marion Steve was raided n few
nights ago by Il or 20 armed cattle
men and COW punchers. Thirty sheep
were killed. the dogs slain. the herder
disarmed. the sheep driven over the
main range to the east side and those
In charge were warned not to return.
There was division OF the range
several years ago between the sheep
and cattlemen, the latter taking the
west side of the mountains and the
former the east side. The feed this
year Is short on the east side and the
sheepmen have been taking their sheep
ON the west side. The sheepmen assert
there was no division of the range.
