He watched the explosion and helped the conductor to summon aid. Hla story concerning the theft of the' powder has toeen corrobor ated. " Ferris declares that he alone Is to blame for the dynamiting and claims that he was drunk at the time. His actions and general demeanor impress one as bring those of a half-witted person. From evidence In the possession of the officers it Is believed that Ferris at tempted the hold-up of the North Coast Limited of the Northern Pacific about ten days ago at Welches Spur east of Butte.

McCormlck, president of the In ternational Harvester Company of America and New Jersey, completed his testimony today in- the hearing of the ouster suit.

Morgan & Co., of New Tork, and the other $100,000,000 by five harvester companies whose property was sold to the company and was appraised at $56,000,000.

Thaw today filed a traverse to the return on Thaw's writ of habeas corpus. The chief question raised by the traverse is the constitutionality of Thaw'i commit ment to the Matteawan State Hospital. It Is alleged that the return made by Dr. Amos T. Baker is Invalid, null and void. It Is claimed that the commit ment Is insufficient for Thaw's fur ther detention because it does not show that Thaw was -ever arraigned before Justice Dowllng, who made the commitment, or that any witnesses were produced or examined In his pres ence; or that Thaw had any opportun ity to deny the charge of insanity; or that his going at large would be dan gerous to public safety. Should Justice Morschauer decide that Thaw was not constitutionally committed to Matteawan he probably would order Thaw discharged without any Inquiry as to his sanity. Small. Stockhoders Object. .
