Lane at Cooke City in the saloon bust
ness is missing, and it now appears that
johnson has also left about $500 unpaid
in Bozeman and other places. Mr.. Lane
arrived in BozeIL an on Friday and in
forms us that through preconcerted
scneme Johnson has joined Lanes wife
in Iowa and gone to parts unknown. This
seems apparent by the facts since eluci-
dated which goes to show that Mrs. Lane
sent back deed for her husband TO sign,
thereby transferring farm To other
parties for the sum of Sd 800.
Mr.. Lane informs us that everything
will be arranged satisfactory with the
FIRMS creditors, as soon as he can go to
Cooke an ascertain the shape Of affairs
there. johnson it is said is would be bad
man and on 4 recent to Bozeman amused
himself by breaking bar glasses, which
led to his being thrown headlong into
