I A >< AI, NEWS From the Daily Herald of November 11. mi Fred Ault, of Galveston. Commits Suicide To-Day at the Grand Oentrhl. About to be Arrested he Shoots Himself to Escane the Law. Fred. Ault, registered at the Grand Cen tral from Galveston, Texas, committed suicide in his room at that hotel at 2 o'clock this alternoon by shooting himself through the heart with a 38 calibre revol ver. Pat. Ryan, an employe of the hotel, was told by Detective Walters to watch Ault as he was alraid he contemplated suicide. Ryan went to Ault's room, No. 12, an inside apartment on^the second floor with one window opening into the hall, and lound the door locked. Police Officer Roddick, who had been sent up by Detec tive Walters, then arrived and together he and Ryan again demanded admittance. There Oeing no answer they raised the window to effect an entrance, and as they did so heard a shot i:i the room. On entering they found Ault stretched on the bed with his clothes on, his right hand clutching a smoking revolver, resting on his breast. A few convulsive movements of the legs were all the motions lie made alter the shooting. He had shot hiuiseil directly through the heart and death was instantaneous. Ct roner Rock man at once empanelled a jury consisting of C. P. Van Wart, W. F. Wheeler, L. E. Lansmg C. C Stubbs, W. W. Brown and John Phillips, and had the body removed to the morgue, where an inquest was liegun at 3 o'clock. Suspicious looking powders, taid to contain morphine, were found on the body. Ault was a young man probably 26 years old, rrther tall, very thin with sunken cheeks, hallow eyes, light brown hair and a faint moustache of the same shade. He came here first on November 2 He registered from Galveston, but claimed to represent a tea and spue house in Denver, which bas a branch m Butte. His mission here, he said, was to establish a branch store in Helena. He gambled heavily while here, playing faro and poker steadily. Friday he drew a check for $150 on the Montana National bank and got Mr. Tamkin, of Tamkm & Koldrup. to cash it. He also pa-sed a check for $110 on "Little Harry Other checks are also out. They were all worth less. Anlt having no money whatever in hank. This fact was discovered to-day, and it is probable that Ault knew that the officers were after him, and having no hope of clearing himself took his life, waiting until the policeman was at his door before firing the fatal shot. BERT'S BEAR. Bert Monroe and Friends Bring in a Wagon Load of Big Game from Across the Missouri. Saturday afteruoou at 4 o'clock a novel looking wagon drove up to Blake's meat market, on lower Main street, and quickly attracted a crowd of curious onlookers. The wagon was loaded to its capacity with game and manned by Beit Monroe, H. B. Lyman, H. E. Gleason, Frank Melngin and Amos Melngin, a party of yonng men who had just returned from a successful hunt across the Missouri river. The load con sisted of one black hear, four black-tailed deer and a few dozen grouse. The bear was with some difficulty removed lrom the wagon and hang ap on stout hooks in the butcher shop, where for two hoars his fat carcase was poked, fingered, examined and "smelled" by curious citizens. The animal was killed in the mountai s between Mag pie gulch and Trout creek by Bert Monroe who handled Don Davenport's 45-75 rifle. For some weeks the four-footed marauder had been troubling the settlers in the vicinity anc only a few days before he was shot had kil.td and devoured a yonng cow. A spring-gun was set for him the next night, but it had been aimed tco low and, though Brain visited it and palled the bait, the shot merely wounded him. Blood from his wound, however, left a sure trail, and the next day Bert Monroe and his friends started out to follow the bloody track 1 After traveling about five miles Bert came onto the bear, and fired at him from a distance of about one hundred yards. The shot was well directed and enraged the animal, which turned on his pursuer. Bert, however, did not allow him to approach very near, and with admirable coolness took another steady aim and dropped Bruin in his tracks. This shot was fired over a range of about eighty yards, and the bullet struck right below the left eye. It was an excellent shot, considering the circumstances. Few men would have the nerve to stand and plant a ball with such precision when the target happens to be a mad bear coming straight at the hun ter. It was a feat worth boasting of. Bert maintains that his bearship is a grizzly, but opinions differ on that subject, some boldmg that it is a cinnamon and others that it is merely a large specimen of the black variety. At all events it is a good sized animal, weighing 400 pounds and be ing nearly eight feet long. A photograph of the party and their noble game was taken before the wagon was unloaded. Lost Our Poet.

The New Auditor Takes Hold—Other T ransfers. This morning Major E. A. Kinney, the newly elected State Auditor, took posses sion of his office, having taken the oath and filed his bond yesterday. Ex-Auditor Sullivan made a formal transfer of the records and accounts of the office besides inducting his successor into the routine and duties thereof. The new Auditor comes in with the prestige of a long and honorable business career and the endorse ment of a large majority of the people of Montana, which insures an honest and capable administration of the office ; while the Territorial auditor retires with the best wishes of onr citizens, leaving behind him a record of official duties honestly and well performed. Mr. Sullivan's term covered an important epoch in Territorial history, the famous ground squirrel law beiDg one of the measures that bled the treasury during his tenure of office. Heving to draw all the warrants for squirrel kill ing, be soon saw what such a bounty would lead to and, through his efforts, the case was brought before the proper authorities and a repeal of the obnoxious meas ure secured We understand Aud itor Kinney finds his accounts correct to a cent, and the office in a thorough business like shape. Mr. Hulli van will probably soon go into active bust ness in Helena. Hon. W. J. Kennedy yesterday qualified as clerk of the Supreme Court of tue State and has entered upon his duties, succeed ing Mr. Lee Word, wao has lor oometime held the position under the Territorial court. Mr. Word retires with the good wishes of the bar and all who have, had occasion to visit his office as he has ever been faithful in the dis charge of his duties and courteous to all who came in contact with him. His suc cessor will make an earnest and honest official. Mr. Kennedy is an old-timer of Missoula county and has ofteu served flie people in an official capacity, his last work being in assisting to frame the constitution under which Montana is now living. He polled the largest majority on the iState ticket at the recent election—an index of his popularity. The only other State offices yet unfilled are ihe Attorney General, one Associate Justice, State Treasurer and ^superintendent of Public Instruction. Hon. E. N. Har wood has taken the oath as Associate Jus tice. His colleague, Judge W. H. DeWitt, is still absent m the East. Attorney Gen eral Haskell and State Treasurer Hickman are expected to reach the Capital to-day. Mr. Gaonou the Superintendent of Public Instruction, is at Anaconda, and it is not known whether be has yet qualified. Another < hange tooke place in District Clerk Bean's office to day, Mr. J. A. Carter succeeding Mr. Leon EaCroix as special deputy acd assisting Mr. Bean in making up tur calendar. The reason for the change is that Mr. EaCroix was this morning ap pointed private secretary to the Governor by Governor Toole. No change will take place in the office of county superintendent of schools until after the county teachers institute, to be held here this week, over which Miss Clarke, the retiring superintendent, who has given tbe matter a great deal of attention, will preside. Miss Turnley, the superin tendent-elect, is in no haste to take office, and both she and Miss Clarke have agreed that the latter shall hold over until after the institute Mr. Charles Gros assumed his duties as official stenographer of the District Court, relieving C. B. NolaD, who becomes County Attorney, succeeding Mr. Balliet. HIS NAM?WAS BELL. Result of the Coroner's Inquest on Yesterday's Suicide. The result of the inquest held by Coro ner Rockman, yesterday, on the remains of Fied Ault, who suicided at the Grand Cen tral hotel, cleared up the mystery attend ing the tragedy. A uo'e book had been found on the bed in the room occupied*by Ault, and in it was written the following : "Tuis rash act is the result of whisky and a woman. My real name is W. R. Bell. Frank Archer, of Denver, is the man whom, aB a friend aud companion, I intro duced to my family. The result was to find a loving wife and him in a compro mising position, but her love for him, clothes and money was too much for her. I went to Denver with the intention —* The only regret of my life is that I did not kill them both." This was written in a clear, firm hand, and was evideutlv noted down just before the fatal shot was fired, and while the offi cers were waiting for Ault to open the door of his room. After hearing all the evidence the jury returned a verdict of death from a pistol shot fired with suicidal intent. The body was then turned over to the under taker and the jury adjourned. The remains of the unfortunate were interred this afternoon at the county's ex pense, the deceased having left nothing to defray the cost of his funeral. The only thing of value found in his effects was a pawn check for $15, representing a gold pen and umbrella, which are in pawn in Uncle Sam's loan office. Coroner Rockman will write to Denver to apprize his rela tions, if they can be found, of his sad end and the disposition of his remains. The Last Official Act. The last official act of ex-Governor White was the exercise of executive clemency in the pardon ot Joseph Walters, who was sentenced in the district court of Beaver head conntv, last April, to a year's impris onincDt in tbe penitentiary. The outgoing Governor's last entry on the minutes of the office is as follows: The proclamation of the President of the United States admitting Montana as a State in the Union, having been issued on this 7ih day of November. A. D. 1889, at 10:40 a. m . and Jos. K. Toole having been duly declared elected as Governor of the State ol Montana under the provisions ot the State Constitntiop,and having qualified as Governor by taking the oath of office as required by law, my term of office expires hv limitation. God bless the Common wealth of Montana B F. White, Last Territorial Governor of the Terri tory of Montana. Very III. Charles Albrecht, who has been ill for some months, part of the time confined to his house, has recently been reduced in strength and his condition is now qnite serions. Hia malady is rheumatism of the heart, and it is feared his lease of life is short. Mr. Albrecht is an old time and highly respected citizen, a member of the A. O ü. W., Knights of Pythias, Grand Army, etc. Many friends are solicitons for his recovery, but there is little hope that he can survive many days. Fron, the Dally Herald ot November 13. SERENADED. Gov.Toole Complimented by the Band and Presented with a Portrait by Citizens. Yesterday afternoon the corridors of the court house resounded with sweet strains of music for an hour or more, and this interruption to the business of the great building was due to a serenade tendered Governor Toole by the Capital City hand. The Governor's office was filled with citi zens at the time, who bad assembled with another object, that of presenting to the new Executive a tine oil portrait of him self. After the hand had finished plying, the portrait was brought in and placed up on the Governor's table, the incident being the signal for a burst of applanse from the assembled company. Col. Cnrtis introduced Hon. R. B. Smith, who was received with applause. Mr. Smith addreestd the Gover nor and in cordial and well chosen phrases presented him with the portrait as a gift from his Helena friends. Governor T 00 I 9 accepted the handsome donation and expressed his thanks in tue following manner: Fellow Citizens and Friends :—I thank yon most cordially lor this splendid presen tation. I am not conscious that I was ever a s good looking as that portrait [Ap planse ] Some of my Republican friends in the State have alway s insisted on mak ing my personal appearance an issue in every campaign in which I have been a partipant. [Applause! As I look upon your elegant gift and discover how it flat ters me, I find some cause for regret that it was not on exhibition sooner. [Ap plause.] Popular as my friend Commo dore Power is that portrait would have been elected without oppo9itu>u [loud ap plause] and I would have been s»ved a hard campaign, in which I made some poor speeches, smoked a great many bad cigars and drank a great deal of alkali water. [Laughter and cheers.] It would he in had taste to criticise your gift and I suppose I ought to forbear, but I cannot. I have ore criticism to make. If that caDvass, in«tead of containing my portrait, had transferred upon it your pleasing laces, ever to remind me ot your generous hearts and devoted friend ship 1 think I would be better pleased. (Applause.) But of coarse I understand that your compliment is not so mach to me personally' as to the high office which I have the* honor to fill I accept y onr splendid gift so gracefully presented with the best wishes for yon all, aud I only re gret that time, place aud circumstances rio not permit me to pass around 'a little something to sustain nature.' (Applause.) I hope some time the occasion may present when my lriends can be accorded a more hospitable reception. Until then yon must be content with my sincere thanks and best wishes for your success and prosperity (Load and continued applause). 'T am informed that the serenade ten dered by the silver cornet band on this oc casion is independent of these ceremonies and intended as their compliments. I thank them collectively and individually for the sweet music, for which they are justly famous" (applause). After he had concluded, those present stepped forward and shook hands with the Governor, who had a cordial greeting for each. The cigars were then passed around, and the company dispersed to the music of the band. For an impromptu affair the occasion was one of the pleasantest social events we have ever chronicled. The large attendance on such slight notice and the enthusiasm manifested are evidences of the popularity of our new Governor. A CHECK PASSER. W. E. Blake Raises Some Money by Cashing Worthless Checks. A warrant is oat for the arrest of W. E Blake, an probably by the time this issue of the Herald reaches our readers he will be in the hands of tlie officers of the law. The charge against Blake is that of obtain ing money ander false pretenses, and from the stories that are afloat on the streets to day it seems that the charge is well grounded. Blake is or was a drummer for a St. Paul dry goods house, and has been in and about Helena for over a year. Within the past few days he has had several drafts and checks cashed at places where he is known, aud it now turns oat that the papers are utterly worthless. He made a few purchases at Raleigh & Clarke's store the other day, and tendered in payment a draft on the First National bank for $50. Raleigh & Clarke cashed the draft and gave him the change, tmt on presenting the paper at the hank found ont that Blake had no money there and that the draft was worth nothing. It has since transpired that Blake has victimized other firms in the same way, among the number being Gans & Klein and the Montana Cen tral ticket office. It is aleo said that he cashed a $60 draft in Missoula a few days ago that has since been proven worthless. Blake has lived with his family near the Northern Pacific depot and, unless he has already taken fright aud left town, will he arrested this afternoon. Death of Charles Albrecht. The illness ot Charles Albrecht terminat ed in death at 5 o'clock p. m. yesterday. During the past several day his malady (rheumatism of the heart) assumed a more serious aspect, of which the patient was folly conscious, and a few hoars before the end, in the hearing of the Herald editor and other friends gathered about his bed side, he spoke to Mrs. Albrecht, saying he coaid live bnt a little while longer. Mr. Albrecht was an old time resident of Helena, a business man of Dearly twenty years standing, and highly respected by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. He was one of the charter members of Myrtle Lodge No. 3 Kaights of Pythias, as also of the Ancient Order of United Workmen and Gesang Verein, and a comrade of Wads porth Post No. 3, Grand Army ot the Re public The funeral, appointed to take place from the family residence, corner of Lawreuce street and Dearborn avenue, at 2 o'clock, Thursday, the 14th, will be attended by the several societies and orders named, the burial ceremonies being iD charge of the Knights of Pythias, partici pât* d in, perhaps, by the Grand Arrnj. Tne remains will be deposited in the Helena cemetery, within the city, where the sepulchre was arranged for to day. Disti Jet Court Proceedings. Wallace & Thornburgh vs. McCoy; judg ment by default.

A Brilliant Reception to the President of the New Educational Insti tution at Helena. In response to card invitations a large number of lades and gentlemen of Helena attended the reception to Dr. F P Tower at St. Paul's M. E. Church last evening, the attendance being larger than was expected considering the inclemency of the weather. By eight o'clock the church was nearly tilled, and soon after the exercis e were opened by the singiog ot a hymn by the audience. Reading of the Scriptures aud prayer were then made by Rev. Shannon, of Bozeman. Letters of regret from Gov ernor Toole and Lieutenant Gov ernor Rickards were read, after which Col. W. F. Sanders, President of the Board of Trustees of the Montana University, made the opeaing ad dress. Col. Sanders spoke in his usually happy veiD, and in behalf ot the people of Helena extended a welcome to Dr. Tower. He then dwelt upon the importance of higher education, detailed the history of the origin and building of the Montana University aud predicted tor it a prosper ous future Professor May then entertained the auditnee with a finely executed selection on the organ. Rev. F. D. Kelsey, of the Congregational church, made an address welcoming Dr. Tower to the ministerial fold of Montana. Mr. Kelsey's words were cordial and his re marks eminently fi ting. In »he absence of Rev. F. A Riggin, Rev. Dr. Raleigh, of St. Paul's M. E. Church, greeted Dr. Tower on behaii of the Montana Conference, and extended him a hearty welcome. Dr. Raleigh closed with a few remarks concerning the new university, which he said was to be a non sectarian institution. A vocal solo by Mr. H. E Jackson, which was well rendered, next called forth ex pressions of pleasure from the audience. The guest of the evening, Dr. Tower, theD addressed the audience. He returned his thanks for the warm welcome extended him and also to the people of Helena who bad contributed to the university fund. He spoke of the character of the in stitution and touched upon the advan tages that, would accrue to Helena from the presence of such a university. The Reverend Doctor delivered an eloquent discourse and made a most favorable im pression upon his hearers, who were atten tive and interested throughout his address Rev. Mr. Hall then brought the exer cises to a close by pronouncing a benedic tion, after which the audience repaired to Dr. Raleigh's parlors, where they were afforded the opportunity to meet aud taD with President Tower. Tbe affair throughout was one of the most notable events of the kind that ever transpired in Helena, and from the charac ter of the participants and the interest manifested, it is evident that the estab lishment of the Montana U.iversity is a project which the people of Helena will endorse and encourage. WHO WAS THE JUDGE? Venneday's Lawyers Claim he Was Illegally Sentenced by Judge DeWolfe. Attorney F. W. Cole, of Butte, yester day filed with the clerk of the supreme court an application for a writ of habeas cerpus in the case of the People vs. W. H. Venneday, the express agent of Anaconda, who was recently convicted of misappro priating funds and sentenced by Jadge De Wolfe to one year in the penitentiary. This tarn in the case is dne to the judge ship complication in Silver Bow county. The application for the writ sets forth: On Friday, November 8, ^889, Stachen DeWolfe. presiding judge of the second judicial district court, reconvened the ses sion of court at 1 o'clock. The Venneday cause had been or daring the morning session. At 1 o'clock p. m. the case was temporarily set aside to hear the argument foi appeal in the mandamus case. At 2 o'clock the Venneday case came up, bnt just about that time J. J. McHatton appeared aDd presented his claims for the seat occu pied by De Wolfe A few minutes later Levi J. Hamilton appeared and presented his credentials for the same office. By agreement the candidates withdrew their claims until a certain time, and Judge De Wolfe proceeded with the Venneday case, charging the jury and acting in the official capacity of judge. Attorney Cole holds that De Wolfe had no right to sit as jadge after his successor had taken the oath of office and duly qualified. That such action was taken by Hamilton and McHatton and right there he lost his power of judge, but, notwithstanding they bad dnly qualified, he continued in the capaci ty of judge. The applicant, therefore, claims that the proceedings by which Ven neday was sentenced were illegal, and asks for the discharge of the prisoner. Chief Justice Blake will hear the appli cation next Saturday. "ONLY AN ACTRESS." An Incident That Transpired in a Pull man Car on the Northern Pacific. Editor Herald :—Last Thursday a very touching incident occurred on the east bound express of the Northern Pacific road. The train was very crowded and at the end of one of the coaches sat a worn oat looking womaQ with six children, one of them in her arms. She had been travel ing three days and had three more to travel hefjre reaching her destination, which was Seattle. Her eldest child, a gul. was ander twelve years of age. Three of the children and the baby had been qnite ill aDd their cases had almost ex hausted the poor .mother. At Mandan a very handsome and elegantly dressed lady entered the car accompanied by some friends. When the train pulled out from Mandan the youDg lady noticed at once the tired ont mother and her children. Stepping over to the mother she said, "Can I assist you, Madam, in any way? Let me take the baby." And soon tne baby was wrapped in the lady's coat aud sound asleep. Then two of the other children claimed the attention of the lady, aud after supplying them with candies they also were put to sleep. Then the young lady devoted her atten lion to the mother, and securing a pillow and comforter from the kind hearted train hands the poor tired mother was also soon qnietly resting. A party opposite, a lady, was heard to ask another who the yonng lady was, and the reply was given, load enough for every one in the coach to hear, "Oh, she is only an actress." A dignified gentleman walked down the aisle to where the young lady sat and said: " Madam, God bless yon, if yon are only an actress!" It is not, I suppose, fair to give the name of the lady, and I trust she will pardon me for doing so, bnt I cannot refrain from giving it to the public. Her name is Helen Blythe. Helena, Nov. 11. Reader. The Local Office Sustained. Advices from Washington state that the decision of Register Lan rhorne, of the Hel ena land office, in the contest case of T. F. Towusley against John McCormick, over a homestead entrv just east of Helena, has been sustained by the general land office. The lawyers in the case were Z T. Burton for Town*ley, and Massena Ballard lor McCormick. The decision holds Mc Cormick's entry good and gives him the right to go on and make final proof. From what is learned of the case, the decision is eminently just The contest of Townsley. who was tormerly a hack driver in Helena, hut has since left the country, was nothing but an a temp- *0 " jump" a valuable piece of land. Afterwards Townsley assumed the role of a blackmailer aDd offered to "compromise" the case for a moneyed con sideration. McCormick, however, spurned his offer, and, standing on his rights, at last has the satisfaction of seeing his title to the land ratified by both the local and gen eral land office»-.
