LONDON STOCK MARKET
Trade Remained ouiet-Home Rails
FIabby-OIls Hardened

London, April 2j.--While the stock
exchange markets were mixed today
sentiment was cheerful. Trading, how
ever. remained quiet In the main. Fresh
gains were scored in the gilt edged sec
tion on hopes that the Bank of England
will reduce its rate Of discount soon.
French loans improved on reports of an
Anglo French agreement as to the pol
icy of obtaining rcpnrations from Ger.
many.
Home rails were hobby. with the de-
mand restricted pending an agreement
on the coal labor matter. There were
rcccssions in dollar descriptions in sym
rathy with New York exchange. The
shares of Argentine rails also droopCd
again. Mcxicans rallied.
The oil group hardened. Shell Trans
port and Trading was ) 1872 and
Mexican Eagle Gas. The industrial list
lacked steadiness. IIudson's Bay was
OK. The rubber group was dull. KAT
frs and diamonds dropped.

Senator Watson Of Georgia

that of the Kaiser and his staff,

That such condition exists in

the most searching Investigation.
The Senate has already appoint,

the facts be shown as charged.
il would reflect sadly upon that

BROTHER OF GLASGOW
MAN KILLED IN WRECK
George Erwin Rides To Death On Ill
Fated Great Northern Mail
Train. ....

Great Northern mail train No. q
which passed through Glasgow Satur-
day morning plunged into the Miller
river on the west slope of the Cascade
mountains early Sunday morning car
rying with it the engineer and fire
man and one brakeman. The fireman
on the ill fated train was George
Erwin of this city and a. brother of
John Erwin, manager of the Imperial
elevator here.
John Erwin left Immediately upon
receipt of the news for the scene of
the accident in an effort to help locate
the body of his brother, which was not
found until Wednesday. In addition
to the brother, Erwin leaves wife
and two dependent children who re-
side in Seattle, and his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Geore Erwin, Sr. and sister
Gertrude, all of this city.
The funeral will be held at Seattle,
Washington, Saturday morning.
The fact that the loss of life in the
accident was not much greater was
due to the fact that the train is
strictly mail carrier and does not
handle passengers.

MEET IN HELENA JAN. !

County assessors of Montana have
been called to meet with the state
board of equalization in Helena on
January 5. A notice of the session
was received Tuesday by County As

duties, the board of county commits
sioners have been instructed to allow
the expenses of the assessors.
The purpose of the meeting, the no
tice reads, is to make possible re-
view of the methods that have been
employed in each county in the classi-
fication, valuation and assessment of
the different subjects of taxation. A
portion of the session will also be Civ
en- over to the hearing and consider
alton of suggestions made by assess
ors so that the board will be in po-
sition to adopt proper rules and regu-
lations necessary to bring about just
and equitable assessment and equali-
zation of taxable property.
The assessors have been instructed
to come to the meeting fully prepared
to discuss and explain every phase of
the taxation question in their respec-
tive counties.

CHILD KILLED BY
KICK FROM HORSE
Three Year Old Son of County Com
missioner Pippin Killed While
Playing Hide and Seek.

County Commissioner C. H. Pippin
received a telephone message from
Saco late Wednesday night bringing
the sad news that his little three year
old son, Richard, had been kicked by
horse and was not expected to live.
He left by auto for the ranch immed-
lately, arriving there in time to find
the baby still alive. He immediately
started on the return journey for
Glasgow with the little fellow to place
HIM in the hospital here but death
overlook them on the way down, the
child dying shortly after the start for
town.
The story of the accident as The
Courier received it over the phone was
to the effect that the larger children
of the Pippin family were playing
hide and seek around corral in the
yard. Little Richard joined in the
fun and in attempting to hide ran be-
hind team which had just been driv-
en- into the yard, one Of the horses
kicking him in the side. He was found
unconscious by the other children and
everything done to relieve him, but to
no avail.
The funeral is being held at Saco
this afternoon and interment will be
made in the Saco cemetery The heart
felt sympathy of the entire county
goes out to the grief stricken parents
in their great sorrow.
