Helena Special.
War on horse-thieVes Will soon be Vlgor-
ously begun in Southeastern Montana ana
Northern Wyoming. Detectives have been
with the gang and they are now located,
together with 1000 head of stolen stock.
A posse Of thirty stOckmen struck their
trail the other day, and news Of an
engagement may be expected at any time.
This is only the beginning of the war
of determination which will be waged
as relentleSsly against the horse-rustlers as
it was against the cattle-thieYeS. To carry
it out, each roundup district will have sep
arate organization, but all working IN mar
mOny. A fund of $4,000 is being raised,
aud with this the growers believe they will
be able to put stop to DEMONSTRATING in the
State. Agents will be kept at all the ship
ping points in Montana, Idaho and Wyom-
ing, and every possible outlet Will be
guarded Unless the rustlers soon dispose
OF the horses they have cOrraled In NyO-
ming. near the Montana line, and scatter,
big force will be uron them, and the result
will be a pitched battle, for which the
st0ckmen will be prepared. The Iustlers
are strongly entrenched i'll the noun
tans and will fight to the last ditch.
Their operations have extended from
Washington to Pierrie, S. Oak. Edward
Deacon Of that city says that 800 animals
have been run off the ranges in that vicinity
within the last few weeks, and IL is known
that many animals stolen in Washington
have been driven East through. Montana in
the year past, notably fifteen head of fine
horses belonging to Lafayette Weight of
Sprague, Wash, as they were after
ward identified at Valley City. Oak. A
year or so ago ID. A. q. Flowers of this
city lost 400 head of horses at one
time, and not a trace of them has been had.
The past summer the complaints have
come from all over Montana, especially
from growers in the eastern part Of the State
and in Custer County. Advices from that
section say that Tom Kent, well-knOwn
grower, lost 400 head last season, Other
growers also lost largely.

ward in his stealth and the window fell in
with him. One Of the girls sDrang up Just
in time to see the man trying TO get under
the bed. She started for the door to call for
help and the man grabbed her by the ankles
and threw her 10 the floor. Her sister was
out of bed by this time and they b0th turned
on the intruder and succeeded in pinning
him to the floor. They cIutcbed him By the
throat and ChOked him until lie turned puT-
pie in the face. The cries for help brought
a little boy to the spot and him they dis
patched for Deputy Sheriff Mead at the
Jail That officer soon arrived and relieved
the girls from their unpleasant position.
The man, who gave his name as Frank
Deyer. was handcutfed and with much diff
Guilty taken to the Jail.

Bakersfield Californian. Feb. Sth.
A pretty little romance was tod in JUS
tice Winfield Scotrs Office SUNDAY morning
in the marriage OF James Anern and Helen
Morrissy, both Of this county.
Both bride and groom were over 40 years
Of age, but the love that found its consum-
nation in the marriage had its beginning
many years ago in the Emerald Isle when
James was a LTOad-shOuldeTed, braWny lad
and Helen was a bTight-eyed, rosy-Cheeked
lass.
Miles Of restless ocean, chains Of snow
capped mountains aud long weary stretches
Of plains and deserts have separated James
aud Helen since they walked in the moon
light and be first whispered the old, old
story that IS ever sweet and new.
Tney were both calm and self-pOSsesSed
yesterday, but the mans voice took a trueT,
Drawer ring as it bound him to the woman
ne Loved, while she turned to him with the
trust born Of long years Of waiting.
May the bright dreams Of their youth be
fully realized 10 the autumn Of their lives.
