MISS COLBY is GUILTY
Murder in Second Degree Is Verdict
for Staying Man.

Thompson Falls, Mont, Dec. g.
Miss Edith Colby. a newspaper re-
porter, was found guilty of murder in
the second degree here today for
shooting and killing A. C. Thomas, a
politician. The penalty is ten to twelve
years in the penitentiary.
Miss Colby, A years old, shot
Thomas, September % last, after
Thomas had passed her in the street
without needing her demand that he
apologize for an alleged insult the day
before.
Miss Colby alleged Thomas had
called her a red light woman"
when she reprimanded him for with
holding news when she visited him in
her capacity as a reporter for news
paper in Thompson Falls. She asserted
that John C. Manire, editor of the pa
per and A. S. Ainsworth. its publisher
had urged her to make Thomas apollo
gize and both were arrested on charges
of having instigated the murder. Man
ire was acquitted. Ainsworth's case is
pending.

Miss Colby, whose mother. Mrs. Jane
F. Coolidge of Worcester. Mass. tes-
titled to indications of hereditary in

BIC R. R. ORDERS
1856 Million i'm Nov. for Equip
ment Is Record Month.
$4,000 Freight Cars; Foreign
Orders Also Large.

New York, Dec. Six American
railroads placed orders in November
for the construction of $3.50 freight
cars, representing an expenditure OF
about $S3,OO0,0O0, which established
new record. according to statistics
published here today by the Journal
of Commerce.
Never before have freight car or
ders in any single month exceeded
$4,000 cars. The November orders,
together with those in October. are
about so per cent of the entire bust
ness for the first eleven months of
1916 and are attributed largely to the
pressing need for equipment to handle
the enlarged traffic arising out of the
transportation of commodities to sea-
ports for expectation to Europe An
other thousand freight cars were pur
chased in the United States by for
eign interests at an approximate cost
of $1,500.OO0.
Domestic roads ordered 342 and for
eign buyers 633 locomotives and Amer
lean roads bought 491 passenger cars,
and these, together with the freight
cars ordered and $4,000 tons of rails
bought, brought the total cost of rail-
road equipment purchased during No
vember up to s155, SIS 900, according
to the statistics.
