A CAREER OF CRIME.
Bad Beginning For d Boy ~ tth a
History-Ha Was Born Tn
This City.

Deputy Sheriff John Cunning.
ham, OF Chillicothe, was in town
yesterday, aud last night returned
to his heme with Foster Marion.
the boy who vas wanted in Living
ston county for theft. Mr.. Cum
ningham said that there was little
doubt that the boy was guilty of the
crime for which he stands accused.
He said the boy had served a Jail
sentence at Columbia for stealing
and was only free q short time
when he made another raid. One
of the boys victims is Charley
Kee, the Chinese laundryman
whose place of business is on
Washington street, this city. Kse
claims to have lost nearly 500 and
he says the boy took it while the
two lived in Chillicothe. Young
Marion, however, denies this
theft.
It il little wonder that this
youthful criminal is as bad as he
is. He has a story that is an in
teresting one, and inasmuch as
his life began in this vicinity, his
parents having been made
here, it will bear repeating.
Young Marion's mother came of a
respectable family living in this
county, named Bryan. One year
she attended the fair held by the
old association in the northeastern
portion of this city, and there met
Marion. They were married the
same day they met and in time the
boy, Foster, was born. Mr.. and
Mrs. Marion drifted from this city
and later they separated, the child
going from n place to another
with his father. The elder Marion
settled in Slater about five years
ago, where he stnrted a billiard
hall. In a year he died, leaving
his boy, aged eleven, alone in the
world. Foster, not knowing the
whereabouts of his mother and
caring little, tossed about the
country, until he landed in Jail, an
accomplished thief. Two sisters
ofthe boys mother married Chi
namen, one having joined fortunes
with Charley Kee, who now lives
here, while the other was wooed
and won by Henry Lee, formerly
of Mexico. Lees marriage with
the Bryan girl took place in this
city two or three years ago.

1t is rumOred that Gov. Hauser will
leave Helena for New York i'm a few
days to meet the directors of the
Northern Pacific, when final action
will be taken Oh the question OF build
ing the Billings Il Fort Benton rail-
road. While we are inclined to be
skeptical as regards this report there
can be no doubt that the Northern
Pacific people see the necessity OF do
ing something to hold the territory
now being invaded by the Manitoba.
At present the bulk of the business OF
this section goes to the northern road,
and it will only he short time before
the Manitoba will control it all. This
business at present may not be suffi-
cient inducement to warrant the build
ing OF a railroad, but the Judith Basin
il a region of wonderful resources and
possibilities. and railroad is sup
posed to create traffic by its presence
and putting life into these dorment
resources. Our mining, agricultural
and stock interests are i'm their infancy,
while our population would double in
year after the completion of a rail-
road. 1t would build up the cities at
its termal points and create a market
for farm products.
The fact that surveyors are already
in the field locating the line for the
Belt mountain branch of the Mani
toba, may have aroused the North
ern Pacific to action. The Belt line
willnot stops Neihart and Barker but
will DE extended into the Judith Basin.
The track will be laid to within sixty
miles OF l.ewistown this fa,,, without
aehanee occurs in present plans, and
another season will see the road in
