| safe expert when our two fire and burglar
proof annihilators, Spike Hennessey anG
Kid Mccoy. sauntered into the bank t.
. get their checks cashed. When Hennessey
| presented the bit of paper to the cashier b.
was informed of the difficulty the bank wa.
in.
"sWhatr he exclaimed, don't I get nc
dough on this check?'
"The cashier being man Of peace apollo
eized profusely ane offered to accompany
Hennessey and Mccoy to another bank and
go that they obtained the amount Of thei,
checks. Treasurer Hogarty came in at thii
juncture and suggested that Spike and tn,
Kid ought to open the safe, and after som.
further parley the two ex cracksmen WERE
shown into the vault and began examining
tho safe. Hennessey twirled the dial few
moments and listened intently to the clicl
OF the tumblers inside the door.
"'What dye think, Kid?' he demanded
of his partner.
:" The dogs rusty replied that worthy.
That's what think said Spike.
| Now. Mr.. Cashier continued Hennessey.
wait till git my tools and we'll have your
safe open in pigs Whisper
"Hennessey went over to the hotel and re-
turned shortly with his kit of tools,
kneellng down before the safe he unscrewed
the dial and took off the dial ring; he then
fitted brass cylinder on the door and
forced about pint of petroleum into the
lock around the spindle. The Kid in the
meantime was industriously working the
lock with pair of nippers, and in about
i've minutes Hennessey turned to the
cashier and said:
She'll open now all right"
Sure enough, when the cashier worked
the combination the lock clicked, the heavy
bolts shot back and the big double doors
flow open, revealing the banks treasures
piled mp inside. When the bank officials
offered to pay Hennessey and Mccoy for
their services they shook their heads, and
Spike remarked with grin:
The balance is on the other side, We
owe you bankers more than we'll ever
pay" -
Yesterday morning about four O'Clock a
small procession marched up Main street.
It was coroner's jury ON it's way to view
the remains of comedy woman of twenty
three. who, it is said, died from an overdose
LOT opium and whiskey. The jurymen found
in her rooms on Clore street, letters from
Chicago addressed to Mamie O'Brien. The
letters indicated that the erring one was
woman of fine education, and had been at
'one time we'll connected. She came to
Helena about three weeks ago from Butte.
where she lived under the name of La Grow.
It is not known whether she took the opium
land whiskey for the purpose of killing her
self or not. She was in the habit of using
opium and may have underestimated the
Quantity. The jury are not through with
the case yet, and will hold another session
Tomorrow.
The Davis will case was brought up again
In the district court at Butte on Saturday,
IN the demurrer of John A. Davis to the
objections filed by Henry A. Root and
Maria Cummings to the appointment of
Davis as administrator. The objections
|allege that the dead millionaire made
will in Helena about eight years ago, the
provisions of which were directly opposite
% those contained in tho alleged forged |
will dated, eighteen years ago, now on file |
n the Silver Bow court. The will made in |
Helena. it is alleged, revokes all previous |
wills and was subsequently destroyed by |
he deceased, and that no other will was ex-
ecuted in its place. This condition of af-
fairs, it is argued. leaves the estate to equit- |
flble division among the heirs.
