bing the Wells Fargo box on an an Oak

confessed to plan for an extensive sys-

also learned the combinations Of the safes
in many country offices, and they next
tried to rob several Of those. Unfortu-

were changed after Gregory resigned.
They then planned to hold up the express

Tho Republican Senators Likely to Win at
Washington Schemes for Robbery

Many Places.

The Montana Senatorial Contest.
The senate committee on privileges and
elections, after long session Saturday,
decided to recommend to the senate that
Powers and Saunders, the republican sena-
tors from Montana, be seated. The ground
upon which the majority of the committee
takes its stand as a basis for its recon-
mendation is that the republican house of
Montana was the legal house, as its mem-
bers held certificates of election from the
election officers and was recognized as the
legal house by the senate. The report of
the committee will not be made for several
days, as it will be long document, dis
cussing both the law and the facts in the
case.
Senator Gray, it is expected, will prepare
report of the minority. The presenta-
tion of the reports will be the signal for an
extended debate, and it may be several
weeks before the senate will reach vote
on tho subject.
Senator Turpie is of the opinion that no
election has been accomplished, and that
the case should be remitted to the state of
Montana for action. He may make an in
dependent report to that effect.
