AMONG THE POLICE.
A Would BE Burglar Caught Sneak
Thieves in Town.

a Would BE Burglar Caught sneak
Thieves in Town.
One Of tho toughest looking criminals
that ever stepped into the police court was
brought up before Judge Sanders yesterday
On charge of an attempt to commit burg
larry. On Tuesday night James Plotting and
his wife, who reside in the Iron Front, no
ticed man prying at window in the rear
Of the Helena Hardware Company's store
in the same building. They said nothing
but regarded him with suspicion. Mr.. Pot
ting went after policeman and soon found
Odicer McGill who caught the man at work
cutting the putty from the window pane.
be gave his name az James Baker. His e1-
cuse to the court for his presence in the
rear OF the building was that he had row
he ran there to hide and avoid their wrath.
He was bound over to the grand jury.
While in jail yesterday morning Baker,
alias Mcdonald, was industriously engaged
in filing the lock Of the Jail yard door, with
table knife in which he had cut teeth like
q saw, using half of the blade which he
broke. to use as file. Tailor Frye caught
him at this work and threw him in the dark
cell. Other prisoners said that Baker could
run rapidly across the floor without making
the least noise.
Engineer A. E. Cummings while doing
some work on the east side yesterday left
his valise containing some surveying APP
paratus on the sidewalk and stepped off a
few hundred feet to talk to one of his men.
When he returned the valise was gone.
One of his men saw a suspicious looking
character pick the valize. up, but. thin king
he was only going to place it to one side,
paid no more attention to it. He can rec
oenize the thief, and gave description to
the police.
It is evident that sneak thieves and house
breakers are heading this way previous &c
fair week, and precautions should be take 4
to guard against their inroads.
Two women residing in the Murphy block;
who have shady regulations, were arrested
yesterday by order of Marshal Cronin.
They were indulging in the playful passtime
of holding mirror SO that the rejecting
sunshine would strike passers by on Main
street, and thus attracting their attention
would cast suggestive glances. They will
appear before his honor this morning.
There names are Mrs. Grant and Tillie
Goodale.

A MARROW ESCAPE.

A Steam Motor Runs Into Buggy With
out Serious Results.
Mrs. James Lands and her little boy and
Miss Annie Brown started to drive out to a
ranch near the city yesterday, and while
passing up Sixth avenue in their buggy, had
very narrow escape from serious if not
fatal injuries. It was few minutes before
o'clock, and the horse which they drove
became frightened at a steam motor which
was coming down the steep grade. The
horse jumped and backed up, trying to turn
around, and terrifying the occupants of the
buggy, who screamed for help. The animal
backed the buggy 40 that the motor would
strike it in the side. The engineer applied
the cir brakes with all possible speed, while
men jumped from the car to the assistance
of the women, who nearly tainted with
fright. The motor still came along, strik-
ing the wheels and demolishing one of
them. The women and child were taken
out of the buggy, and an application, of cold
water soon brought Mrs. lands to her
senses.
The broken wheel was the only damage,
and it was not the fault of the engineer that
the accident happened. Had the rails been
wet or slippery the result must have been
more serious.

bic class Of settlers whom Montana
would be the gamer by getting They
are Hollanders Of great thrift and some
means who come to the new world to
grow rich faster than they can do at

ment Consul Gardner commends the
Rotterdam immigrants as physically,

ingly superior class. They are compare
lively wealthy. Before coming from the
old world each adult male and each of
several adult females had subscribed
from $1,000 t. $4,000 toward payment
for their American possessions. Many
Of them brought over. musical instru-
ments, libraries, silverware and other
property. The colonists we're drawn
from number Of important Dutch
towns.
This project is in part the result of
the efforts of an incorporated Dutch
American company, in which leading
business men of Holland and California
are interested. "The company" the
consul says, "is the owner Of an abun-
dainty irrigated area of land in MERGED
county.
The lands are sold to the immigrants
before their arrival and improved by the
company according to plans previously
agreed upon, with buildings, agrlcul-
tural implements and live stock, Of
which the buyers assume immediate
ownership upon arrival at their destina-
ton. Teachers are employed by the
company to instruct the colonlsts in

The Jap and schu n,acher.

Peter Schumacher and the Jap signed arti-
cles Of agreement Monday for another
wrestling match at Butte, in which the
strangle hold is barred. The stakes are
$3.50 side, the winner to take all the gate
receipts. The contest is t. :ake place with
tw weeks, and wi probably be arranged
to come off at Columbia Gardens, Shu-
macher feels confident that with the stran-
gle hold barred he can conquer the Jap. and
SAYS he will make the hardest contest of his
life to down him this time. The statement
that Mr.. ZeiQler, manager of the Dap, re-
fused to risk q greater amount than $25C
upon the contest would suggest that he en-
tertained serious doubts az to the result, in
the minds of some of the sports. That the
Jap is a redoubtable opponent no one ac-
quainted with his professional record will
deny. but whether. if deprived of his favor.

question which the friends of the latter will
continue TO doubt until IL 10 conclusively
