"Old Kitty Grayson. as she was called who has just died at Brynn, near Wigan. aged 9l, was supposed to be the last woman who worked in the mines of this country. When the act of parliament came into operation prohibiting women and girls, as well as boys, under the age of 10 years from working below ground she was young pit woman. In order to evade the act she distinguished herself as man, and continued to work in the mine for nearly F months In consequence or her experience of colliery life she was often called in to render service after mining disasters. Of her 13 children only two survive. She has, however, numerous grand children and great grand grand children.

WORKER
SHOOTS TO KILL
ANDREW ANZlCH SENDS TWO
BULLETS INTO ELI ZARAck
BOTH AUSTRlANS.

Andrew Anzich and Eli Zarack, two
Austrians employed with a gang work
ing on the Kendall railroad, engaged
in quarrel Sunday morning and
Anzich shot Zarack twice, using a re-
volver. One bullet entered the chest,
cutting the windpipe, while the other
entered the left armpit. Both wounds
are very serious and DR.. Attix, who is
attending the wounded man at the
hospital, cannot yet forecast the re-
suit. Anzich is held at the county
Jail and a charge will be booked
against him later.
Peculiar Condition.
AS result of the puncture in the
windpipe, Zarack breathes through the
hole in his chest. In spite of his
wounds, however, he keeps up his
courage and strength and is confident
he will recover.

All are holding back votes and pre-
pairing to cast a heavy vote on the
last day. We would say to the con-
testants that your votes can be voted
at any time now and with perfect as
surance that no one will know how
many you have voted. 1t would prob
ably be safer to vote your votes now
than to run the risk of losing them.
OF course, duplicate votes will be is
sued on any votes that are known to
have been lost or destroyed. But the
trouble involved In this could be very
easily avoided by placing the votes in
the box as they are issued.
Home Stretch In Sight.
There are but eleven days and then
this great prize-giving contest will be
at an end. Never has a contest
worked out like this one The stand

contestant occupying the last place
has but little ground to cover in Or
der to creep up into the lead. Any
one can be winner. Plan on a
strong finish, for 1t is in the closing

Great Falls, Oct. 3.-Cromwell
Dixon, the daring young aviator,
who by his apparent wrecklessness
at the state fair last week, caused
so many to predict that he would
sooner or later meet tragic end,
was killed in Spokane yesterday
afternoon. Details of the accident
are not available at this time. He
was making his second flight of the
day when the accident occurred
and fell only about fifty feet. This
fight occurred about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon and at 3 o'clock the
young aviator was dead.
Dixon was the most daring avia-
tor that ever appeared in the west,
having last Saturday won a $4,000
prize offered for any aviator who
would fly across the backbone Of
the continent. His fight was from

MAN WIDELY KNOWN AND A GEN.
ERAL FAVORITE IN THIS CITY,
PASSES AWAY.
FUNERAL THIS AFTERNOON
Attended by Spanish War Veterans
and Volunteer Firemen As Escort
of Honor-served With Company l
in the PhiIippines-Leaves Widow
and One Son.

Saturday afternoon the body of
Alexander Van Iderstein was found
by a boy, lying in the tall grass close
to the electric light company's ditch
up Spring creek. The boy did not re-
port the matter at once and it was
some time before Coroner Creel went
up to get the body and identified it as
that of Van Iderstein. He doubtless
met his death on the Monday pre-
ceding the discovery, and the circum-
stances were made quite clear upon
investigation.
"Curley Van," as he was known to
everyone, suffered some months ago
from a very severe attack of typhoid
fever. and upon recovery, did not get
his strength back. He was accus-
toned to going out in the country at
intervals to work, and on the day of
this accident told his wife he was 60
ing out to one of the ranches for a
week or so. He delayed his depar-
ture somewhat and it is known that
he was going up Spring creek during
the evening. In the darkness he
slipped and fell into the electric light
company's ditch, which carries about
four feet of water and has fairly
swift current. The man evidently had
a desperate struggle to get out, as
shown by the way in which the toes
of his shoes were bent up in digging
into the bank to get foot-hold and
the cuts on the knees. He succeeded,
but in his weakened condition the ef-
fort was too much for him, and ex-
hausted, he dropped in the tall grass.
| The struggle, combined with ex-
posure, undoubtedly brought on his
death. This is so clearly established
that Mr.. Creel did not consider an in
quest necessary.
Funeral Today.
The funeral was held this afternoon
from the Presbyterian church, the SER
vices being conducted by the Rev
ly attended, delegations of Spanish
>war veterans and from the volunteer
fire department forming an escort of
honor.
| Was Popular Man.
Mr.. van lderSteln was nearly Al
years of age. He was a native of
Prince Edwards Island, having been
born Nov. IL, 1870. He came to this
section in 1894 and had resided here
continuously ever since. He went to
the Philippines as member of Com
pany l in 1898 and served until the
company returned home. In 1901 he
married Miss Julia Sturman. He is
survived by the widow, one son, his
mother and several sisters.
Few men in Lewistown were bet
ter known than "Curley Van" He al
ways had the heart of boy and his
good nature was proverbial. Some
years ago he engaged in the restau-
rant business and during his residence
here followed various vocations. He
was member of the volunteer fire
department and was popular with the
organization, as he was everywhere.
It is related of him that while in the
Philippines he was the jolliest men,
Der of the company and was always
cheering up those who felt blue He
was warm-hearted and generous and
among all who knew "Curley Van"
there is sincere sorrow today over his
death.

Saturday and spent couple of days
looking over the judith basin country

posed new main line OF the road that is

assistant to President Hill, and next to
MIR. Hill the active head of the com.
pany; Chief Engineer A. H. Hogeland,
Construction Engineer K. +. Taft, Right
OF Way Agent Clay, and |. Parker
Veazy, Jr., the company's attorney ut
Great Falls.
Twofold Object.
The object Of the visit was twofold.
Mr.. Hogcland and President Hill were
both very desirous Of having MIR. Gil
man see the basin and especially that
portion the proposed line will run
through between the point where it will
leave the Billings T. Northern, about
twenty-six miles from this city to Lew.
istown. Another was to look up some
right Of way matters and condemnation
proceedings.
MIR. Gilman stated that he was great
y surprised at the extent Of rich farm
ing country in the basin, as well as the
splendid crops produced this year. That
the road will be built is settled but
Mr.. Gilman had nothing definite to say
as to just when work will commence.
How 1t is Construed.
The Great Northern is in much bet.
ter shape for building its new main
line than the Milwaukee, as the lat
ter has many engineering difficulties
to overcome out in the Arrow creek
country. The Great Northern has COM
pleted three surveys from the line into
Lewistown, one from Moccasin, one
from Hauck's siding and the third from
Hobson. Each of these presents some
advantages as to distance, cost of con-
struction, etc, and this visit will give
Mr.. Gilman full knowledge of all three
by personal inspection. No serious diff
iiculty is presented by either route, and
one of them, at least, is an exceedingly
easy one
Mr.. Hill is known to favor the line
and Mr.. Hogeland has been strongly i'm.
pressed with the desirability of building
into Lewistown with as little delay as
possible. Those who talked freely with
the visitors are convinced that the pres.
ent intention of the Great Northern is
to build in from one Of the three points
named to Lewistown in the spring. All
the data has been collected and the engi-
neering is ready at any time to turn
the whole matter over to the construc-
ton department.

Gowns for the Spring Wedding

The most fashionable wedding gown today is made in Empire ef- feet, and it should carry out both in its lines and its trimming, sim plicity. It is no longer necessary, however, to have the wedding dress made with a high neck and long sleeves. The skort-waisted bodice cut out just trifie at the neck is apt to be becoming and is considered correct in style, says Grace Margaret Gould in Wo- mans Home Companion for April. "Of course, 1t is needless to say that no bride wears a decollete gown at her wedding. The veil may be arranged entirely accord ing to individual preference and may be of tulle or of lace. Many ot the most effective gowns TOT the brides maids for spring we'd dings will emphasize flower effects. The chiffons, marquisettes and lovely, soft, hlmy organdies with floral borders are much used for these gowns, worn with large picture hats"
