of j. R.
HAD NO MONEY NOR FRIENDS.
A man supposed lo be J. It.
Monier came to SI Anthony on
Monday. May I, and rented a room
of Mrs. Btilmer in the William's
building on Bridge street. There
was nothing strange in t he man's
appearance except that physic
ally lie was in a. very b id con
dition. On Friday of last week
ho entered Watson & Moore's
drug store and asked for an
ounce and a half of laudanum
which was given him after lie
signed the poison record. He
said he had sonic laudanum but
wanted more to rub on for rh m
mutism. This was about 3
0 'clock' Friday afternoon.
Dr. Palmer, who rooms in the
lodging house, noticed that the
man was in a very peculiar con
dition. The Doctor testified at
the coroner's inquest dint on
Wednesday he entered the man's
room and asked him if he could
Ido anything for him, and upon
receiving the answer "no," told
him that he had better have the
county physician. He again re
plied "no," saying that he had
no money but was expecting
some every mail. He requested
the Dr. to call for his mail, stal
ing that it would be registered.
He stated voluntarily that he had
married daughter iu Denver
and another in Chicago. Again
on Thursday Dr. Palmer insisted
on calling a physician and be
was again answered "no," and
stated that lie felt better than he
had for a long time and that in
a few days he could go to work.
"On Saturday morning," said
the Dr., "I noticed him lying on
the bed. arm over his face, ap
parontly in a very deep slumber,
and closed the door carefully
and left the room. This was
about 8:30 in the morning. No
more attention was then paid to
him until in the afternoon when
the landlady and I walked into
the room together and found him
lying on his left side with his
head thrown back. 1 touched
]i is pulse, closed the door and
went after Dr. Blevins. This
was abouta quarter of three."
The Dr. stated that he knew
nothing further of the case ex
cept that on Tuesday the stranger
said L could have his fur over
coat to .pay for his room and
trouble.
Coroner Martin Harris of La 1
Belle was summoned Saturday
afternoon by telephone and ar
rived in tiie evening and held an
inquest Sunday morning. The
following were summoned on a
jury: W. F. Jamison, W. W.
Green, John W. Andrews, D. G.
Blevins, C. H. Hopf and C. C.
Bowerman, with H. G. Fuller as
clerk. The following is the copy
of the verdict:
We, the undersigned jurors,
summoned to investigate the
cause of death over a body sup
posed to be James Bowen, but
believed by us to be J. Ii. Mon
ier, find that his death was due
to an overdose of laudanum,
taken for the purpose of reliev
ing pain.
Dynamited Church.
The Mosque at Kinprnit, Vienna,
has been dynamited and 200 moslema at
prayer were buried underneath the
ruins. A Macedonian named Popff
committed the on:race and afterwards
committed smeide In his possession
was found a note saying. "I am one of
the Macedonian Knights of Death who
are pledged to commit suicide after ex
ecuting the commands of the general
ommittee "

A freak of nature was brought into
town last. Saturday by Alma II Hide,
in the shape of a pig having two well
developed bodies, eight legs, two tails
and only one head. .T. G. Wood took it
to St Anthony to be mounted, and it
can be seen at Fred W. Rising's, the

Mrs. Harris returned Friday from

Judge J. G. Wood united in marriage
last Tuesday, Mr. Samuel Cherry and
Miss Minnie Crandat and sent them off
with his blessing and the good wishes of
a boat of friends. They were married
at the home of the bride's parents, Mi
ami Mrs. John Johnson.
Mrs. Nellie Fife of Grant, returned 1
home after a three week's visit with her !
aunt, Mrs H. Wood.
Three of onr local nimrods were ont
shooting squirrels last Sunday, hut not
being satisfied with tnat kind of shoot
ing, they turned their attention to
somewhat larger game, but not so
swift. Abe Hillman had a 250 lb. pig
running at large and one of the great
sports took a shot at it with a 22 rifle
and killedit. The hunters have to "dig
up" or replace the pig's equal. It was
worth $25 How soon will they be tak
ing shots at someone's horse or cow?
Hucli conduct should be severely pun
ished and people's stock will be pro
tected.
Restaurants and boarding houses are
springing up at every corner and our
town is putting on quite a business-like
air. The large store of the Thompson
Mercantile Co. will soon be ready tor
the stock. Lumber is being piled on
the Kelley lot for a saloon, so we under
stand. The telephone line is an as
sured fact and the railway is in the air,
or at least on paper. Who can say that
this little town under the mountains is
not becoming metropolitan?
Mr. Hans. Munson and J. G. Wood
are taking dry herd stock for the sum
mar. They also expect to commence
making cheese in town in the course of
ten days, or as soon as the machiueiy
can be placed in their building Mr.
Munson is an expert cheese maker of
long experience, from ( 'ache valley, und
the people can rest assured of a good
price
article. They will pay a good
for milk delivered at the creamery.
A few of onr people here turned out
to beautify the ground around the ward
house Saturday. The building is being
white washed and cleaned throughout,
and seats will be furnished in the near
future. The ground will lie fenced and
shade trees planted around, with a yard
left for tying up teams. W G J

Baloon Worth $500 and 1
Bearing World's Fair
Pass, Belongs to
Whoever May
Find It.
Floating somewhere in the earth's
atmosphere, free to wander whereso
ever it may, is a baloon that is worth
any man's time to capture.
The bainon itself is a silk structure,
VO feet in diameter, JO feet long, made
of heavy yellow silk and covered viih a
rope netting. This great airdlip is
worth $500 on the market, and it be
longs without any reservation whatever
to the person who captures it.
And tills is not all, for securely
fastened to the bottom of the baloon, in
a silk bag, oiled so as too keep out the
moisture, is a document which gives to
the captor of the airship a pass or
season ticket to the Louisiana Pur
chase Exposition, good for the entire
season
The haloou is one of several that as
e-nded at Sr. Louis on Thursday night
of I lie dedication period, Mr. Pain, who
had charge of the pyrotechnics at the
T'air dedication, had a number
of ca] live baloons that were to figure in
a spectacular aerial display, but several
of them escaped and these baloons have
been falling in different parts of the
country. One was recovered by Oren
Vollentine of Sorento, 111 . and another
the
prize-bearer This particular baloon
which was dispatched on its journey,
destination unknown, was sent up by
Aeronaut Carl Meyer, after dark Thurs
day. April JO. It's only cargo was a mes
sage, written on official World's Fair
stationery, and signed officially by Pres
ident David R. Francis, conveying the
information that the finder of the baloon
upon presentation of the letter, and a
written statement regarding its finding,
would he supplied with a pass to the
World's Fair from May 1, 11)04, to the
close of the fair, Dec. 1, 1904
The great baloon was filled with hy
drogen gas, more than 22,000 cubic feet
being used ni a cost of about $200 This
is sufficient to keep the baloou in the
air from two to three weeks. It is at
the mercy of every wind that blows,
and may be found a thousand miles
hence, or it may wander around and
when the gas finally has leaked, full
close to where the ascension was made.
When the baloon arose it carried a
huge light that burned possibly half
an hour. It arose rapidly and was
caught by a wind from the southeast.
The breeze was strong and the light
could be seen moving northeast through
the 8kv It arose and struck another

Protecting the Fish.
Warden Richards is causing the darns
of the county lo be equipped with the
Montana fish ladder. This devise is
inexpensive and it enables the fish to
easily get over any dum. Another new
scheme for preventing fish going out in
ditches, is the building of a paddle
wheel at the head of the ditch. The
wheel allows all trash to pass through,
bu I fish rarely go by it. Mr. Richards
intends to have every stream in the
county, where ditches are taken out, to
be equipped with either wheels or screen
headgn tes. He Ims already had nearly
all the dams fixed up with fish ladders.
The rest, will lie attended to very soon.

Gets Twenty Years.
Topeka, Kan . May 9. -The supreme

imposed on Miss Jessie Morrison by the

been tried three times on the charge of
murdering Mrs. t Tara Castle, a success

The first jury disagreed, the second

current and struck off due east, rising
higher and soon disappeared.
The baloon will rise and fall with the
temperature, until it finally descends
As it strikes the colder strata of air the
gas will condense and the airship will
fall When it strikes the warm atmos
phere near the earth it will expand and
the baloon will again rise. This it will
repeat many times. Then the baloon
may be seen in scores of places before it
comes near enough to earth to be made
captive.
