The Nerve Of a Highwayman in
the Very Center Of
Anaconda.
Calling for Beer, He Owed Into
Els Pocket as If for
Money.
Instead OF Cash Ho Produced dun and
Forced Dick Fisher to Hand Over
Cash and Watch.

ANACONDA, Sept. 27-[Special]. A hold
up seldom equalled in nerve and audacity
took place ut $50 O'Clock this morning at
the place known as Big George's saloon and
gambling house, right in the centre OF the
city. The proprietors are Morehouse d
Albertson OF Butte. The bartender on the
night shift ID Richard Fisher. familiarly
known to all old timers in Montana as "Old
Dick" He has lived in Montana upwards
Of thirty years and took an honorable part
in tho days OF the viRiiantes. There was
no game in the saloon ut the hour men-
toned, in fact Fisher was the only occu-
pant. But In Toohy d Hunts gambling
house next door were twelve Or fifteen men.
A stranger entered Bic Georges place and
called for beer. He put his hand in his
pocket AZ il to get money, but instead ne
pulled ont revolver. thrust it into Fishers
face and demanded the cash in the till.
Fisher had to pass it over, and also had to
give up his $15O gold watch. The des-
perado then backed to the door, keeping
Fisher covered with his gun and telling him
he was dead man if he moved muscle.
The contents OF the till were only about
$50 or $6O. In the safe were several hun
dred dollars, and the safe door was un-
locked. The robber, however, either did
not see the safe, or else thought it hazard.
ous to take the time necessary to make
Fisher go through it. The robber appar.
emily wore no disguise. He is Of small
stature, with light brown mustache, anc
wore dark striped GOAT. 1t is thought
that he rode in from either Butte or Phil
ipsburQ on horseback and escaped thu
same way.
