ST. DANID'S ANNIVERSARY.
App lately Celebrated by the Welsh

App lately Celebrated by the Welsh
Lao,. and Gentlemen of Great Falh.
st. David's anniversary celebration in
Elks' hall last night was a most enjoy
able gathering of the Welsh residents Of
Great Falls. There was a good attend
ance and the flow of Welsh language was
p~rofuse. Music, both vocal and instru-
mental, was the order of the first part Of
the evening. The selections Of Welsh
airs on the flute by Mr.. Morgan Cornell
JUS were heartily applauded.
At 10 o'clock the door t. the banquet
hall was thrown open and the guests in
vited to take seats at the tables and par
take of the good things provided for
them by the proprietor of the Gem res
taurant. There was no set program of
~toasts, etc, but all the tables did their
best to make the hour pass pleasantly.
After the banquet all returned to the
hall where the meeting was called to or
der 10y elccting j. w. Cornelius chair
man. The exercises were opened by Il
song, with banjo accompaniment, by
Charles Harris. after which }. &. Jones
was introduced by the president as the
orator OF the evening. Mr.. tones said:
Fellow countrymen: We have assem-
bled here tonight to commemorate the
anniversary OF the death Of the greatest
and noblest man the Welsh nati2n ever
pruduced-St. David. Hand in hand
with this sentiment the Welsh through
out the world have come to look upon
this day as one of revelry, and tonight,
wherever Welsh people are to be found
in any number, you will find them enjoy
ing that social intercourse which has
made the Welsh nation famous the world
over. ! have heard criticisms upon our
action ID meeting here tonight not alto
gether favorable. Some people claim
that we ought to drop our clannishness
and individuality as a nation and be.
come wedded to the habits and usages
of the country we have adopted. | ask
you if we would make better Americans
by becoming poorer Welshmen? / can
say with impunity that there is not to be
found among all the alien ~nationalities
in the United States a people who are
more Law abiding and loyal than the
Welsh. If we Welsh people could only
forget our mother country would there
not also be a danger of proving faithless
to our foster country should the oppor-
tunity be presented?
Ladies and gentlemen, our object to-
night is not to find fault with the con-
stitution we have adopted of our own
free will. but to think and speak kindly
of Little Wales" and from a freer and
greater country look back with pleasure
upon the many happy days we spent
there. | again say that since we have
pitched our tent in the United States

HE DESERVED DEATH.
A Husband Kills the Scducer of His
Wife.

Wife.
ALLEGAN, Mich, Feb. 21.-Burt Moore,
a single man about % years old. was
shot and almost instantly killed in Whit
tley's saloon today by Albert Reynolds
of Great Falls, Mont. Reynolds imme-
diately gave himself up. Moore came
from Great Falls shortly before Christ
mas with Reynolds wife.
All of the above parties are well known
in Great Falls. Reynolds worked at the
plastering trade and Moore as a painter.
Reynolds and wife kept house on the
South side and Moore boarded with
them. About Christmas time Mrs. Rey-
nulds went east on a visit to her parents.
Moore disappeared the same day. Rey-
nolds began to think that something was
wrong and made inquiries Of the Great
Northern conductor who had charge of
the train the day his wife left, and was
informed that a mar and woman an
swering to their description were passen-
gers that day on the train and acted as
mar and wife.
Reynolds then opened a correspond
ence with friends who kept him posted
on the conduct of his wife and the at
tention she was receiving from Moore.
Reynolds left here about three weeks
ago to personally satisfy himself of the
wrong doings of his wife, and the result
of his investigation is the killing of
Moore, as given in the dispatch from Al
Logan Mich.

THOSE ROBBERS.

Last of the st. Joseph Gang Captured
Incidents of tho Fight ON the Council
Bluffs Train.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Sept. 26.-The dar-
ing and desperate attempt made to rob
the north bound Kansas City, st. Jo-
seph IL Council Bluffs train No 3 early
yesterday morning, and the effectual
manner in which it was foiled by the
prompt action of the officials OF the road
and the officers of the city and county,
was the all-absorbing topic of CONVEX
sation, over which even the disastrous
fire was unable to take precedence.
Henry Gleitze, the robber who made
his escape from the scene of the hold
up ut Roy's Landing, was captured at
the home of Mrs. Elsinger, corner OF
Eighth and Syracuse streets, by Pa
trolmen Keiffer and Dixon.
The scene at Sidenfaden's undertake
ing establishment, where the bodies of
the dead robbers lay, brought back
wildly those which transpired at tho
time of the death of Jesse James A
dense crowd, composed of all classes of
people, completely blocked up the
streets and sidewalks in front of the
building. The inquest, which was
being conducted by Coroner Reynolds,
occupied the greater portion of the
afternoon, and of course during its
progress no one outside of those direct
ly interested was allowed inside of the
building, but this did not make any
difference to the morbid throng upon
the outside, who persisted in spending
the entire afternoon in hanging about
the building in their eager desire to
catch glimpse of the dead men.
The verdict of the jury was as fol-
lows: 1--WE, the jury, find the deceased
came to their death Mt the hands Of
officers, while attempting to rob .
train"
After the inquest had been held tho
bodies of the dead men were turned
over to their relatives. The dead men
were badly riddled with bullets An
examination of Kohler's body showed
that he had received two bullets in his
head, one in the chest, two in the arm
and two in the leg. The desperate
character of the man was displayed in
his game exchange Of shots with the
officers in the car, badly wounded as
he was, until death came to his relief.
Gleitze also received many wounds

THE STRIP LANDS.

Reports That the Isest Claims Were Taken
by Persons Who Have No Idea Of Be-
coming Permanent Residents.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Sept 27.-This
city continues to reap harvest from
the strip opening and the boomers
The prairie schooners continue to pass
through, some going home, and others,
who have been successful, have gone
back, got supplies and household goods
and are pulling into the new country.
The homes in the new country are made
of stock boards, roof and all and in size
are about 10x12 feet or 12x14 feet.
They are what are called box
houses, but are the poorest kind,
with no batting on sides, and
most of them have dirt floors. In most
cases they are erected by the home
seeker himself and in construction are
as rough as the average barn. Only
few sod houses have been constructed.
1t seems to be about the first thing q
majority of the settlers want to do
after getting up house or sod pen is
to so and file; this is why the land
Office has had such rush. Many have
only spiked four 2x4s together; others
have plowed few burrows and piled
enough sod up to hide cracker box,
and some are not large enough to ad-
init of a cracker box
A trip overland will convince anyone
that the claims were not taken up by
the farmers who camped along the
borders with his family, his household
effects, his chickens and his cow, but
by the cowboy, the jockey, the clerk
and the young men in general who
have learned to successfully manage a
horse, and who knew exactly where
their claims lay and when they
were on the nearest corners.
This fact will materially interfere
with the growth and population of the
country and the new towns. Already
number, and in fact most all who
have filed, have asked and been grant
ed the leave of absence, and when this
''leave" has been granted to two-thirds
of the settlers. who will support the
many new towns that are springing up
like mushrooms all over the strip?
If the land had been taken by the
class of home-seekers who brought
their families along and who intended
to Immediately go upon the land and
build good homes, fences, barns, dig
wells and cultivate the soil, then. the
merchant, the blacksmith, the phys
ician and all the mercantile and pro-
fessional men who have located in
these new towns might have prospered,
but such is not the case, and, for a
while at least, these men must prepare
to live economically and undergo many
hardships.
