work. When he had the men all spotted he
called on a deputy sheriff to arrest them. That
official, with other deputies. went into a saloon
where the men were playing cards and tried to
arrest them. All had Winchester and Colts
revoIvers, and when the deputy sheriff
began reading the warrants to them
they commenced to put more cartridges
into their weapons, which made the officer
think they did not want them very bad. He
telegraphed here for sheriff Hamilton, and the
latter went to Malta yesterday, taking ONeill,
of Choteau county. and e humble of deputies.
When the posse reached Malta last night they
arrested two OF the robbers, who were about to
board the cars, and found the other two in the
act OF saddling their horses to leave for Canada

no resistance, but peaceably accompanied the
