MONTANA MAILS.

The Source of Frequent Losses Arrested
and Jailed Awaiting Trial-St. Paul Suf-
fers by His Depredations.
1t has been we'll known for some time past
in this city, that depredations have been
committed on the mails between this city
and certain points in Montana, while the
special agents of the post Office department
have been indefatigable in their efforts to
arrest the person or gangs who have been in
strumental in committing the robberies.
From information at first received it was
thought that the robberies were committed
by an organized gang, but subsequent de-
velopments prove that they were wholly due
to the enterprise of single individual.
Considerable anxiety concerning the rob-
berries has been manifest by several residents
of St. Paul, whose friends in the West have
been Inconvenience by the uncertainty and
loss incident to the numerous and unac-
countable robberies. The greatest sufferer
by the losses in this city has been Mrs. DR..
Harris, whose husband is stationed as a
medical attendant at Camp Baker, Montana
and the manner in which several registered
letters have mysteriously disappeared has
given rise to the greatest possible concern.
The most serious losses occurred on the
| evenings of November 23d and December I'd
of last year, when the mail pouches were
mysteriously spirited from the stage coach at
or near Sand Holes station, Idaho, and until
| few days since no trace was learned of the
outlaws or their plunder.
Subsequent depredations on the same
| route attracted the attention of Special Agent
John B. Furay, stationed at Omaha, and that
gentleman at once proceeded to make q
thorough Investigation.
It was first ascertained that the robberies
| we're committed at stations where the coach
stopped for refreshments, the depredations
always transpiring after nightfall when the
passengers and driver were at supper. This
rected to a stock tender named Downing
in the employ of the company at Sand Holes
station, and sufficient information Of 6
eliminating character was developed to war
rant his arrest. He was taken in custody
and at first denied all knowledge of tht
crime, but upon being confronted will
proofs of his guilt, made clean breast O
having committed the robberies, invariably
picking his time while the passengers wer,
at supper.
He also confessed to having secreted sev
eral of the mail bags, after having rifee
them of their valuable contents, grea
many of the letters being recovered at tn
place designated, and among which wer
several that have since been identified as be
longing to Mrs Harris. Downing was lodge'
in the Malad City, Idaho, Jail, where h
awaits conviction of the robaeries.

WAS 1T Il JOKE?

George W. Murphy Ordered to "Stand and
Deliver"-Not Being that Kind of a Man
He Faces His AssaiIant, Who Proves to
be Brown, the Smelling Ferryman.
Tuesday night, Mr.. George w. Murphy,
residing near Shakopee, met with an adven-
ture which savors highly of old times, when
highwaymen made travelling peril, and not
a pleasure, as now. Mr.. Murphy had
crossed the Fort Smelling ferry, and was
getting along to st. Paul. He was some
what benighted, and was jogging
his team along briskily to take
in the prodigal hospitalities
of st. Paul, before 10 o'clock anyway.
Somewhere about 8 o'clock, in point of time,
and somewhere near the halfway house on
the Fort road, in point of space, he wa.
reckoning about nights shelter in St. Paul.
To hasten up that desirable end, he ficked
his horses once or twice; they responded, but
we're suddenly interrupted in their good in
tentions to 60 along. All at once somebody
reached forth from the roadside, seized the
horses and brought them to halt. This
was followed by a voice from out the dark
ness, pitched to proper tone of intensity,
saying:
"Your money, or your lffe.'
Sosudden and such an appalling demand
brought Mr.. Murphy's head up over the
edge of his buffalo overcoat collar to take in
the situation. He quickly distinguished a
solitary figure at the head of his team, and
made haste to reply.
81 guess you must be mistaken"
He then jumped out of his wagon and
approached the man. Murphy's idea was if
"the highwayman" didn't shoot quick, and
he could only get in reaching distance, lie
thought he could take care of his adversary
AS Murphy approached the man, both
recognized each other. Murphy saw
the man was H. NJ Brown, ferryman at the
Fort Smelling ferry.
Immediately Brown cried out, II was only
funning.'' Then he added that he'd been
down town, and likely he was little full
Brown departed towards the ferry, and
Murphy, relieved in mind and unfatigued by
tussle with a highwayman, got into his
wagon and drove into ST. Paul. Yesterday he
got out warrant for Browns arrest, which
covered in legal phraseology all the require
ments of combined assault and battery,
attempted robbery, violence on the highway,
etc. Armed with this document, Deputy
Sheriff Harrison arrested Brown last night
and locked him up in Jail.
Murphy seems to be earnest.in his prose
cution. Brown expresses a willingness tc
treat the whole affair as joke. How Judge
Flint will view it will be learned to-day, and
be told the GLOBE readers tomorrow.

THE MESSAGE AND EXEMPTION.

The Governors message to the LegisL.-
ture will be found on the first page of this
paper 1t has the merit of being brief. and,
upon the whole, it is free from ambiguity.
Fully one-half Of the document is devoted
to the discussion of railroad matters and
the advocacy of exemption measures,
which shows pretty conclusively, notwith-
standing the Governors silence on the
subject in his proclamation converting the
Legislative Assembly in extraordinary ses-
sion, that railroad interests must have had
more or less to do with the calling of the
extra session. The proposition of Sidney
Dillon. made several months ago, which
accompanies the Message, has no doubt
had its influence both here and in WASH
ington; and that gentleman and the power
FIJI corporation he represents have accom-
plished more perhaps than any local need
or urgent emergency could have accom-
plished, i'll making an extra session
amongst the possibilities at this time. 1t
is not unreasonable to suppose that, that
influence has been felt both in the Cabinet
and Congress. and hence the necessary
legislation and approval of the President
for converting the Legislature in extraor-
binary session. At all events, Maginnis
is railroad man, out and out, which we
suppose he has perfect right to be but
he is also subsidy man or an exemption
list to a greater extent, probably, than
4 large majority of his constituents,
and this may account. in part at least, for
Congressional action favorable to an extra
session of the Montana Legislature. Be
this as it may, the extra session has been
called, under at least apparent authority of
law, and an exemption proposition has al
ready been introduced before the House.
and from present indications it is doomed
to meet the fate of its predecessor of last
winter.
This question Of exemption, of course.
is one on which men may, and no doubt
do, differ, but the present seems rather an
unfavorable time to urge it. The public pen
dulum has hardly yet reached its extreme
detection from the S3,OOO,O0O subsidy alb
surIity. But it will reach it in time, after
which there may come reaction in favor
of exemption, provided the railroad in the
interval shall not have been built. We
trust the Legislature will re-apportion the
Territory in conformity to act of Congress,
amend the law in regard to the compensa-
ton OF Clerks of District Courts, perform
the necessary legislation for retunding the
Indebtedness Of the Territory at lower
rate Of interest, provide some relief for
Missoula county, enact proper militia
law, and adjourn without delay. Most OF
the members have important business to
attend to outside of the Capital; besides,
The season is entirely too hot for prolonged
on such exciting questions as
railroad exemptions.
