a daring attempt at robbery about 6
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Three
men entered the store and while n

Hendricks opened fire and as the
leaden missiles flew uncomfortably
close to their ears two of them stop

the third escaped: They gave their

man from Neihart came over and
wiped up the earth with him. Mon

leman of the same color, who called
him with a chair, and what was thou

out to be a foot race, in which the
bold, bad niger held the lead by
over a length. He ran through the
restaurant and kitchen and jumped
over the lunch counter in Frank
Phelps saloon without touching it
with his hands, and never stopped
until he had distanced his pursuers.

THE DEVILS VISIT.

HIS Satanic majesty boarded the
train at Great Falls last Monday
where he had been engaged in try
ing to get bonds for the release of
M. E. Lennon from Jail, and started
for a run up to Neihart. When he
arrived at Monarch he saw a copy of
the Belt Moutain Miner, containing
the following misrepresentation:
The Queen of the Hills at Neihart is
temporarily at a standstill. The compa-
ny informed its workmen the other day
that it would not pay more than S2.75
per day hereafter and of course the min
ers all quit work. 1t is understood that
this was simply a means to get the mine
closed for some object unknown.
Now the Devil claims to be the
father of liars and upon reading this
little fabrication ne at once conceiv-
ed the taking of a trip to Barker to
see this faithful and trusted servant
at his place of business and if neces-
sary to put him OF a salary. AS the
trains do not use the Barker branch
any more he had to take flight for
the II miles and reaching the Miner
office he entered with all the dignity
and self-possessien of a subscriber
two years in arrearages. He dotted
his hat to Mr.. Merritt, and then to
Mr.. Mitchell, who of course recog-
nized the presence of a superhuman
being, but as his spurs were visible
and his wings not properly smoothed
down they imagined that it might
not be the ambassador of heaven
bearing their titles clear to mansions
in the skies. so they with one inn
pulse bolted for the back alley and
cached themselves in the loft oil

quaintance with certain citizens OF

POWERLESS TO INTERFERE,
Carnegie Tells of His Connecticl
With the Homestead Mess.

PlTTsBuRG, Feb. For the first
time since his return from Europe
Andrew Carnegie consented to talk
in regard to the Homestead affair and
spoke freely this afternoon to an
Associated Press correspondent. He
said he desired to make one point
clear at the beginning. Four years
ago he retired from active business.
and no consideration in the world
would induce him to return to it.
"The great error of Americans" he
said, "isthat they endure the harrass-
ing cares incident to business until
they break down, when they should
be in their prime" He believed in
retiring and giving younger men a
chance. He had sold portions of his
interests and was gradually selling
more to such young men in their SER
vice as his partners find possessed of
ability. He said he was not an offic-
er in the company but only a share
holder, and to the appeals
he received urging him to Civ instru-
ctions in regardto the recent trouble,
he says he had no power to instruct
anybody connected with the com pa
ny. The officers were elected for a
year and no one could interfere with
them. Even at the next election if he
desired tomake a change he would be
powerless to do so, as he was sure he
couldn't find one shareholder that
wouldn't vote and stand by the pres
ent officials. 81 elect to retain my

To s~TRAIGHTEN the DETECTED con.
dition of the News mans nose we
will say that Neihart opposes the
separation of Barker, ct al, from
Meagher county, objects to the set
ting off of Broadwater county, and
strenuously demonstrates against the
severing of that portion of Meagher
claimed in the creation of Sweet
Grass county In short the citizens
of this thriving camp believe that
Meagher county is not too big, but
just the proper size, and only wall
in their unfortunate failure to get
recognition at the seat of govern
ment.

The Show That Did MT Come.

The show outfit billed for Barker
last week for some reason failed TO
put III an appearance, much to the dis
appointment of the people of the
camp in general and the poignant
sorrow of the editor of this paper,
who held a "comp' ticket and a bill
for display advertising. "That com
pany of players has no idea what it
lost by not being here as per bill, for
everybody was positively waiting for
them and their s'soubrette." which
they claimed to have with them. As
tickets were only $1.25, even men,
women and children in camp were
prepared to go and many we're on
the street in front of the hall and a
thermometer that registered 30 deg
rees below zero an hour before the
time. When the disappointing news
came that the company" would not
come the pause that followed was SO
silent that one could hear a pistol
shot a rod away. AS we heaved a sigh
we could hear our ''comp'' tickets
CRATE harshly against the bill. Then
the crowd went away and left us
there alone and we were glad, for we
had been asked about thirty times in
ten minutes what a soubrette is, and
having no more idea than the ques-
toner we told them to wait and we
would show them. But the show did
MT come, neither did the soudrette,
nor the "artist," who was along; how
ever no one cared particularly about
the artist, for we have two artists
among us, one CALLED "Shorty" and
the other polly" and evryone knows
what they are like. What we did
want was the soubrette.--Barker

SPEAKING OF WEATHER.
Minnesota and Montana Representa-

"Just down from Minnesota" said
G. w. Burson of st. Paul, as he sat
with his hat off and perspired IN the
lobby at Wizards. "You seem to

to see it up in my country, If we
wanted to, we could have an ice
palace higher than the tower of Ba-
bel and it wouldn't melt before sum-
mer after next. Why, if the mer-
curry in the tube begins to climb any

that sort of thing. Are the oranges

listener, 1--WE have it different. We
never mind the weather, so the

PEELED to admit that it does blow
sometimes. However, when it has
lasted two or three days and the
mercury is 265 below in the cook
stove, we get the chinook. Know
what the chinook is? Well, it is a
dispensation that comes from the
South in the shape of a gentle and
balmy breeze that is steady, soft and
low. You know it is there
until the snow begins to melt and the
ice particles are gone from the air.
In a little while all the land is bare
of white and you think that spring is
all around you. If it we're not for
the chinook Montana would be no
better country than Minnesota. As
it is, there is no country like it,
