The Troublesome Oyster Grounds.

Yesterday morning the Shell Fisheries Commission received an application from Theodore s.

A Pastors seventy-Thtrd Birthday.
 Recently Rev. Austin Putnam, the much esteemed pastor of the Congregational church in Whitneyville, attained his 73d birthday The approach of age deals gently with the reverend gentleman and has yet failed to in- vest him with venerable aspect though of late he has felt intimations of it's presence in slight troubles of a rheumatic nature. The choir of Whitneyville church appropriately celebrated the birthday anniversary of their pastor by making him a visit at his residence and rendering number of selections, in which days of ''auld lang syne" were brought to mind in 8 very pleasant manner, and the cheerful social occasion forms another of the many pleasant links and ties which bind together pastor and people. Rev. MT. Put nam has been pastor of Whitneyyille for a very long period and does not draw on "the barrel of sermons" having something origi- nal, new and abreast of the best thought of the times to present to his people every Sun day, and with an earnest sincerity which goes further than the most cogent reasoning of staid and rigid philosophy in it's edifying effect upon the hearts of his audiences.

Those who attended the performance of ''All the Rage' for the first time last evening" and those who attended for the second or third time, heartily enjoyed the performance and laughed to their hearts content. The cast has been somewhat altered since the company's last appearance here and has been improved in some portions.

DARING DARKIES

City Marshal Mooney, of Helena,

about 200 hundred pounds to a spot
about 200 hundred yards away. Here
they knockedin the bottom, which was
rotten. The safe contained about $500.
in money, which they appropriated
and divided between them. Richards
was captured with $3.50, but the other
two escaped to this city with the
balance, and we're captured on a telt-
gram from Mooney and nearly all the
stolen money recovered. They were
willing to return without a requisition
and will go to Helena this evening.
Experts will readily yield the palm to
these green darkies, who, instead Of
adopting the usually dangerous method
Of blowing up a safe, took it up bodily
and carried it off where they could
hammer the old machine at their
leisure. Marshal Mooney says it was
by the merest accident the safe did
not contain $l7OO instead Of $500.

The Hero Of a Hundred House
breakings.

Since the arrest of Reuben Shaw,
alias John Coleman, who was jailed as
an escaped convict, not a single bur
glary of any kind has been committed.
The detectives went to work on him
as soon as he was locked up, and as he
already had a sentence of eighteen
years hanging over him, they were
willing to let him 60 at that if they
could only succeed in recovering the
stolen property. He was made aware
of this feeling on the part Of the police
and confessed to a dozen or more
robberies, disclosing the places where
he had hid or sold the goods. His
first confession concerned Mrs. Pillow
and her daughter, Miss Elise Trigg
who reside at the Raynor place, ellis
Station. They we're robbed Of fine
clothing to the amount of nearly a
thousand dollars, on the very night
before the day of Shaw's arrest. He
entered the house alone, and carrying
the stolen goods about two miles
through the woods, hid them in
a dense thicket, where they we're
found by the police. The houses of
Mr.. John Lenow, P. R. BohleD, Jos.
Bruce, +. S. Davis, - Wilson, J..
B, Bingham, j. t. Laprade, Miss
CHS Murray, M. L. Meacham, -
Shehan and d. H. Poston were also
bu~rglarizcd by this, bold darby, who
declares he never had an accomplice,
as he was afraid to trust anybody to
help him for fear they would betray
him in a tight place. Shaw was not
very particular about what be stole.
Mems and women's clothing, boots
and shoes, silverware, clocks, jewelry.
and wen umbrellas, were all gathered
in alike. Some we're hid in hollow
logs and thickets, some in Elmwood
Cemetery, and a good deal was
sold or left on deposit ut low
dives along the river front, and in
the suburbs. Shaw always carried a
a pistol, but not in his pocket. He
had a navy six always in the bottom
of an ordinary market basket, covered
with q clean towel aud swung from his
elbow. He it was who shot at Officer
Boyd and also at Detective McCune.
He was a bad shot, however, as all of
his bullets went wide of the mark. AS
be has been identified by Officer
Boyd, who chased him after the Pos
ton burglary, he will be tried for that
ofense, though not prosecuted for the
others.
