 "Your obedient servant,
 Jefferson M. Prentice.''
 Brookfeld looked at the date and wondered. The letter had been writ ten in Washington on the selfsaYne night that he, sitting in his library in Louisville, had been so strongly inn pressed by a sense of the writer's presence, and-assuming that the writ CT had quoted standard time, to which Brookfields watch was set the hours had been identical!
 What wizards power was this! Brookfield endeavored to recall the only conversation he and Justice Prentice had held. He remembered know what I think?" and the Justices reply: T don't claim any monopoly of that power. It's my opinion that every one reads the thoughts of others that is, some of the thoughts" Had he, two nights before, been reading the Justices thought? Or was it only coincidence that while his own mind had recalled a vivid recollection Of the Justice, that gentleman had inde- pendently chosen to indite him a let ter? Helen had said that in his col lege days he had been able to make her get up from her bed and write to him.

submit that any mother in that posi- ton could not fail to say anything which in her belief would make for the safety of her son.
 The testimony of the experts. in kindness to the jury, Hardmuth was inclined to dismiss. Nothing had been said by them, no testimony had been given by them, for which they were not to be amply compensated; and nothing had been said by any one of them that had not been diametri- cally controverted by gentlemen equally eminent, gentlemen much more disinterested, and in very much more difficult position, because 1t Is much easier to give testimony in the defence of a man than it is to community. The principal thing for the jury to consider was the proba- bility of this idiosyncrasy existing in the prisoner. HardmuthA himself had no doubt that it had existed to some extent in the mother: such ideas. as the experts both for the defence and for the prosecution, were frequently concomftants of hysteria; but as some of the doctors had testified, and as all of the twelve intelligent men them selves knew. hysteria was peculiarly were unusual. In the case of the mother, the idfosyncrasy in question had disappeared as soon as the doctor who had discovered it in the grand-
 mother had himself ceased to live.
 Its supposed reappearance in the. boy
 was perhaps piece of childish imi-
 tation built up from freside gossip
 of the family. The boys suscepti-
 bility had never been considered as
 sufficiently serious, even by the father
 of the boy, to summon the assistance
 of specialist; and as the jury had
 heard several of the eminent special
 ists on both sides of the case testify, it
 was unusual, if not almost unheard of,
 for physician to treat a member Of
 his own family in serious aiIment.

C0apLeF LA.
 The trial of Whipple, and especially the testimony of an assistant prose- cutting attorney, established beyond further contention the frequently re- iterated< charge made by the reform newspaper that gambling was openly conducted in the city of Louisville. 1t established also the negligence of the police in this connection, and more especially the negligence of the dis xrict attorneys office if not, as the press was more than limiting, the col fusion of that office in this nefariot;s condition of things. Hardmuth's ex- planation of his own participation was that, as an officer of the law, he was gathering evidence. The support of this assumption necessitated a fairly rigorous campaign against the gamb- ling houses.
 Brookfield's was already dark: the frank paraphernalia of the establish ment had been sold or disposed of. Once or twice a week, at. irregular 1n- tervals and unfixed times, there was what Brookfield called gentleman's game. when a few of the older pat ,rons and his intimate friends sat down to a game of poker. as they might have done at some of their clubs.

News was received from Helena
this week stating that at the elec-
tions held in Choteau county last
week on the proposal to create two
new counties from territory taken
from Chotean, the segregationists
bad been successful in both in.

was small in each case.
This is the first application of
the law enacted by the legislature
at it's last session for the creation
of new counties. The counties
carved from Choteau will be known
as Blaine and Hill, respectively.
notwithstanding the loss Of so
much territory, Choteau will still
be a large and rich county, never

PUT
NOTE IN SHOE

Dreams of golden orange groves
and the blue skies of Southern
California led seven girls, en-
ployed in shoe factory at Man
chester, N. H., where the mercury
had been flirting around % below
zero mark this winter, to make a
novel appeal.
An orange grower of Del Rosa
found the note of the seven girls
in one of pair of new shoes he
had just purchased.
Some way had to be devised to
pick one of the seven and he re-
sorted to the plan of placing all of
the names in hat. The one he
picked out was that of Miss Edith
Traver, 1887 Elm street, Manches-
ter, and to her he wrote telling
her that Del Rosa was the finest
place in the world and asking for
her photograph.
The story of the budding ro
nance came out through the shoe
firm here which disposed of the
footwear to the orange grower, but
the name of the latter would not
be divulged.

MUST Know
BOUNDARIES

Last week the Montana supreme
court made ruling that should
prove of interest to every owner OF
realty in the state. 1t laid down
the doctrine that the seller Of land
is liable for damages to a buyer If
the former points out to the latter
erroneous boundaries Of the land
sold. The sellers good or bad
faith, or honest mistake, is held
not to be valid defense. He is
liable if his representations prove
to have been wrong. Said the
court:
IF the vendor does not under
take to point out the location or
boundary lines Of the property he
seeks to sell, the vendee must
make such investigation as will
satisfy himself; but if the vendor,
who is presumed to know, points
out the particular line as the
boundary Of his land, this fact re-
leaves the vendee from making in
dependent investigation"
The case decided was that Of
Post ct al VS.. Liberty, appealed
from Fergus county. The defend
ant sold to plaintiffs 78O acres of
land. He represented that a GER
tain road was the eastern boundary
of the tract. Subsequently it
proved that 200 acres Of it, of a
rough, rocky and practically
worthless character, lay east of
the road. The price paid for the
land was $2o,32o. &c..
+ IL it's ruling the court holds thai
by preponderance Of evidence it
was shown that the statement
made by Liberty was untrue, and
that under the doctrine laid down,
the plaintiffs could recover. In
the lower court judgment was in
favor of the defendant.

taken from recent issue of an
Iowa publication illustrates the
weather conditions in the east:
Zone of the heaviest losses a
railroad company in Iowa has had
in years outside Of big wreck was
that which happened on the Rock
Island recently. Eighteen carloads
of cattle were frozen to death, and
stood on their feet in the common
open stock cars, stiff1y frozen and
dead, just as the life went out of
them because of over exposure.
The shipment had been delayed
by the snow and for Sc hours laid
between Nicola and Council Bluffs.
The condition of the shipment was
not noticed at the time, but when
the stock reached the Bluffs the
discovery was made and the Off
GERS of the road notified. At
small estimate there were not less
than 20 cattle in each car and that
figure would make the total loss
800 head, something enormous to
contemplate"

POISON SHEEP

One Of the most dastardly crimes
reported to the sheriff of Cascade
county in many day was brought
to light Saturday when Fred I.
Long of the Long Brothers Sheep
company reported an attempt to
poison band of 5000 sheep and
kill the herder, forty of the sheep
being killed and many more seri-
ously affected by the poison. So
incensed have the sheepmen be-
come over the crime that the Mon
tana Woolgrowers' association, de-
termined to use every effort to ap-
prehend the culprits. has offered a
reward of $1,000 for their arrest
and conviction.
The Long Brothers had band
of 5000 sheep wintering on pas
ture in Box Elder creek valley.
They were in charge of 9 herder
named Abraham Cosmo. Cosmo
was awakened last Monday night
by the barking of his dog and the
bleating of sheep in his band and
when he went to the window of
his cabin he could see in the gray
light of the night two men in the
sheep corral. He called to them
and they ordered him to go to bed.
He called again and then started
to light his light his lamp and
when he lighted a match two shots
rang in quick succession, one o1
them breaking the lamp within 3
few feet Of the herder's body. The
herder found, when he tried t.
open the door, that it was tied
from the outside. He remained il
his cabin until morning, when h,
crawled out and gave the alarm

Harlowton Town team, 81.
That was the result of the bas-
ket ball contest held last evening
at Harmony hall. The game was
witnessed by large number OF
rooters, consisting largely of high
school students, while many others
in every walk of life, were also
present.
The game was fast contest and
both sides showed the result of
careful training and faithful prac-
tice.
The Lewistown boys started out
with a rush that fairly swept the
visitors off their feet. They kept
up the winning pace throughout
the first half and at the conclusion
of this session the score was 81 to
9.in favor of the high school team.
The second half was closely con.
tested and Harlowton came back
with the grim determination tc
reverse the score. However, the
best they could do was to hold the
score even in this half, each side
making II points, making the fina
score 80 to q in favor of Lewis
town.-Lewistown Daily News.
