BAD FOR THIEVES.
STEWART RUSSELL AND DAVE
ADAMS ARRESTED AT LAST,
Both Captured in Billings = Edmonson
of the Well Known Gang also in
Jail--Jefferson County
Wants Him.

B1L11Nes, Dec, 10-On Saturday Depu-
ty Sheriff Reed arrested Stewart Russell
and Dave Adams, the Benton horse
thieves, who had come to Billings to sell
the animals they had taken from the vi
cinity Of Benton. It was a very clever
arrest. One Of them being alarmed at
4 the prolonged absence Of the other, who
I had come from below for the purpose
y Of disposing Of the ill-gotten horses,
&came to look after the first and was
&lodged in Jail, as his partner had been.
hi was afterwards found out that they
bad horses belonging to Musselshell
stockmen cached below on the reserva-
tion which they were preparing to ride
on further south. Sheriff Black ar
rived Sunday night from Benton
and will take the culprits back with
him. Rumor has it that these two young
desperadoes stood off q deputy sheriff and
his party somewhere in the Judith coun-
try and warned them not to follow them
at the peril Of their lives.
On Sunday morning Deputy Sheriff
Lyons Of junction arrived with Percy
Dewolf, who has been employed in vari-
GUS sections Of the surrounding country
as cook and range rider He had taken
one Of the horses Of Edge Olden of Gold
en- creek, about SO miles north, and was
making good time towards Miles City.

SAFEGUARDS.
PEOPLE DISCUSSING THE BEST
MEANS OF FIGHTING FIRE.
suggestions as to How Fires May BE
Prevented-What Could be Done
..E With a Steam Fire
Engine.

Many suggestions are made as precau-
tlons against fire. The subject is freely
discussed and much information is being
ELECTED. As precautions it is suggested
that watchmen should patrol the city for
the sole purpose of giving timely warn
ing in case of fire. 1t is asserted that
this is especially desirable during the
early winter months when fires are more
frequent than later in the season. It is
also suggested that the city council
should empower some officer to point
out what precautions are necessary in
new or old buildings. The council
should provide means for enforcing such
precautions There is also talk of d citi-
zens' committee which would look cut
for migrant cases Of carelessness. It is
said that II any man were so vile as to
think of setting his house on fire, the said
committee would be likely to deter from
doing so by its very existence. Expert
enced men also suggest that all rubbish
''tohiA " cPCSAly lCllupeu, WuGUneE IL Is
in Or outside the houses. No hay should
be stored near frame houses or IN any
place where it would be dangerous. All per
sons should be careful in handling lamp
oil and should never pour oil into a lamp
which is alight. Stovepipe chimneys
should be abolished when they are near
frame houses. Flues should be examined
constantly. The inside of every flue
should be well plastered.
As to means for subduing fires, many
plans are suggested. Details of the
chemical engine have been given already
in the TRIBUNE. Various opinions are
expressed as to their merits, which will
not be discussed here. 1t is desired that
the council committee on fire department
should prepare q brief but full report on
the subject without delay. The regular
steam fire engine meets with favor.
Great Falls tribune., 1888-12-12

a strong sentiment in favor of buying or
leasing an engine. To sum up: The peo-
pie expect that something shall be done
speedily. There is no panic, but people
feel that the rapid growth Of the town in
creases the risk of big fires and should
make every one vigilant, .-.
ALI. ABOUT ENGINES.
To the Editor of the TRTBUNE: If the
city council wants to do the city a service
and themselves credit let them come
right out and buy q tirst-class steam fire
engine of about the third size. This will
be good pref" ';ty at any time and will be
ready in ca ;hore is any defect in the
water pressure WIS. we have waterworks.
An engine of this size capacity $50 gall
Ions per minute) will cost $4,000 to
$4,000, according to quality Che best is
the cheapest) and if the city cannot pay
but one-third down they can get time on
the balance. 1t will cost nothing to keep
the engine while not in use, as the engi-
neer could be made to do police duty
A leading business man said to the
writer today that he was told that steam
fire engine would not force water from
the river to the business portion of the
town. This man must have come from
Buffalo, Wyo., where the writer was in
formed seriously ''that fire engine
could feed its own cistern and put out a
fire too, J"
The following will show what a steam
engine will do: A one horsepower is
equivalent to the lifting of $4,000 lbs one
foot per minute. To find the horse
power of steam engine, multiply the
| area ofthe cylinder by the number of
! pounds Of steam and divide by 33. II a
double one, multiply by two. A steam
fire engine with a steam pressure OF 90
| lbs. will give water pressure of 20O lbs.
| As the back pressure is Al lbs. per square
inch per 100 there would be only as
much back pressure on the engine Stand
ing at the river) as the number Of feet
from the level Of the Park hotel to the
river is part Of 100. The friction Of the
water on the hose up to 1000 feet is un-
noticeable; over that it is reckoned; but is
very small. With plenty Of hose and
Siamese couplings, four OF even six good
streams could be brought to play on any
block west Of Third street. A cistern
20 feet deep by 40 feet in diameter will
hold 2,23S barrels of water. (31h gals.
The cisterns could, be filled at the weekly
or monthly drills of the company and il
case of fire it could be subdued in the
| building in which it broke out.
The sooner a steamer is bought the
better, and once here the most determln
| ed "kicker' will be loudest in its praise
| This is the case in every town when false
economy is attempted. PLAY Low.

JEFF Edmonson, a Notorious Horse
Thief, Arrested.
DEER LODGE, Dec. 11.-lSpecial to the
TRIBUNE. Frank Conley, Of this city,
received at telegram today from his
brother jim Conley, one Of the Montana
Stock Association detectives, that he had
arrested JEFF Edmonson at Green River,
Wyoming, and would arrive in Deer
Lodge with his prisoner. The particular
crime he has him under arrest for is
horse stealing in Meagher county several
years ago. Edmonson belongs to what
was known as the Edmonson gang Of
horse thieves, two brothers Of which were
sent to the penitentiary here for 12 and IA
years. One was afterwards pardoned by
Gov Leslie. jeff is also wanted in JEFF
ferson county for holding up the stage on
which Judge Wade and other Helenaites
were travelling. Con Murphy, another
one Of the gang, was hung by vigilance
committee near Helena on Northern
Pacific bridge, another one Of the gang
was killed in making an arrest IN Madi-
son county. Jeff is the last Of the gang
and has always eluded the officers until
now. Mr.. Con]ey has been on his trail
for two months and it speaks volumes for
his ability and nerve to bring to justice a
man of Edmonson's stripe. The winter
Of 1884-5 will long be. remembered by
citizens of Helena; expecting, as they
were, raid on the county Jail any time
to have the gang released who were con
fed there. The gang were also accused
of numerous incendiary fires in Helena
that winter.

VIRGINIA DREHER ENGAGED.
Tre Actress to Marry a Rich English
man and Leave Days Company,

A New York special says Mr.. Angus
tin Days distinguished company will in
few days lose one of its most cOnspicu-
GUS members. The same old and poetic
romance through which pretty Edith
Kingdom was removed from behind the
footlights to the luxury OF millionaire's
home plays its little part in Mr.. Days
loss. Miss Virginia Dreher, who Is at
present impersonating the charming
"Hermia" in Shskspeare's dreamy fairy
comedy now being represented at Mr..
DAYS. theatre, is soon to be married and
quit the stage. The man who will be-
come her husband is Ct. +. Postle-
thwaite, q young Englishman who is
rich. cultured. and of aesthetic tastes and
habits.
Miss Dreher has been considered the
most beautiful member of Mr.. Days
combination and as possessing strong
qualities as a graceful and accomplished
actress. 1t was stated last night as
coming from Mr.. DAILY himself that while
he was aware OF Miss Drehers engage
ment to be married, he had not heard
that the wedding was to take place I'M
mediately, or that it involved her with
drawal from the company. To this was
added the statement by the business
manager that nothing had yet been heard
about Miss Dreher's not accompanying
the company on their tour IN England.
When asked whether the report con-
corning himself and Miss Dreher was
true, Mr.. Postlethwaite said {: eyes, it Is
quite true. We are engaged to be mar
ried, but Just when the wedding will
take place has not yet been settled.
Miss Dreher will withdraw from Mr..
Days company at the close of the pres
ent season, which ends April 18th. She
will not accompany him to England, but
will retire from the stage. Her contract
ends at that time and will not be re-
newed."
Miss Dreher is a Louisville girl, and
possesses the great beauty for which the
women of that section are famous. This
will be her second matrimonial venture.
She was married about ten years ago in
Louisville, and has pretty little daugh-
ter nine years old. " Dreher" is her true
name by marriage. She was widow for
several years before going on the stage.
This occurred about six years ago. She
made her debut with John Mccullough
in 1.-The Hunchback. At the sugges-
ton of John Norton, the veteran the
atrical manager, she directed her efforts
towards connection with Mr.. DAILY s
company. In this she was successful
shortly after, and has been one of the
esteemed members Of it during the past
five wears.

/ do not sec the use OF arguing Mr..

have been charged by the bondholders
and General Malone that theSpeaker 81
the House OF Delegates the officer next
in dignity to the Governor, had openly
said that the policy OF the Democratic
party was not only unconstitutional, but
had drained the Treasury beyond ability
to pay interest and that his statement
had not been contradicted. Would they
have charged it? Why look at the use
that has been made of the Governors

before me, at page 1886:
