Because they live a natural life such as nature intended.

The financial details of the affair are now being looked, after by a competent committee snd. Judging by the elaborate preparations being made, It will be in keeping with like events of the past-managed by the coterie of good fellows comprising former residents of the "Sunhy South." Col.

Thomas C. Marshall has ordered a generous supply of 'possum-for the feast. This time he stipulated that the possum must be dead when shipped from tne South. Last year he received a consignment of two live 'possums. The little quadrupeds looked so cute that none of the tender-hearted southerners could mus ter up courage enough to kill them.

They filled an engagement tor several weecs In a show window of a restaurant, snd attracted much attention. Later, when the warm weather came, the animals were taken to Wood-worth's ranch, on the Rattlesnake. As to whether they fulfilled the sertptural injunction and thrived the colonel has not been Informed, but he Is going to Insist upon dead 'possum this season. ri AMADOR OUTFIT ALL RIGHT It la probable that their troables will soon be over aad asatters amicably adjusted. Missoula, Deo'.

17. Recent events would Indicate that the troubles In which the Amador Mining properties In the western part of the county have been Involved will speedily be adjusted. Some days ago a capitalist of Chlcsgo made, a visit to the mine, and upon his return to Missoula. In a conversation with a well-known and reputable gentleman of this city, he -made the statement that he had wired his associates In the East to buy a large block of the stock. The Amador troubles were largely pre cipitated by the failure of the Ross Con struotion an outfit which had the contract for the building of a road from Amador City to a point on the Northern Pacific, near Iron Mountain.

The construction company was unable to pay Its employes, and the latter began suits hi the courts against the Amador Mining company for "the- amount of their claims. It is stated that very many of these claims have been paid, but some claims that are now pending In the courts are In dispute, and will probably have to be settled by the courts.

Missoula.

Dec. 17. The residents of Heron, one of the small towns' In the west end of the state, have become much aroused over the sudden and strange disappearance of a man named the Northern Pacific agent at that point. The exct cause of the man's disappearance is unknown. Some believe that he has been foully dealt with.

While others are of the opinion that he has absconded. The latter1 theory has gained weight by reason of the fact that from $1,500 to $2,000 Is missing from the railroad's funds at Heron. Last Monday the night operator there reported to the company that Gadsby was -missing. He had then been' gone for three days, but the operator had thought little of It, for he knewthat the agent had been gambling and drinking heavily some time before, and consequently believed that he was off on a spree and unable to attend to business. After three days had passed, however, and Gadsby did not put in an appearance, the operator became somewhat anxious over the affair and decided that- he had best report the matter to heftquaatess.

Shortage in Cash. Immediately upon the receipt of the report by Northern Pacific, officials one of the company's auditors was sent to Heron to straighten up the accounts of the missing. Upon checking up the books the auditor discovered a shortage in the cash that amounted to considerable more, than 11,000. The missing coin consisted principally of money that had been collected for express money orders and had not been remitted to the express company. It has been- ascertained that Gadsby's wife left.

Heron shortly before Thanksgiving day she has now been located at some town in the East. It is the belief among. some of those who think he h'as absconded that he" has followed' his wife and may soon be found and taken jn to. custody. Others think that perhaps be was unfortunate enough to lose, the company's money while gambling, or that while in a drunken condition he exhibited money arid was foully deajt with.

A new map has been put In Gadsby's jlace at the Station and detectives are working on the, case. Big cut price, sale. McBrlde's. FOUR LIVES ARE LOST IN THEATER FIRE Loralne, Ohio. Monday.
