Miles City. Oct. 3O.-About four days
ago there appeared in Glendive a man
whose actions caused him TO be sus-
pected OF being Plnkerton. He made
a trip down the Yellowstone valley
from Glendive and returned just in time
TO meet T. O'Leary and Pat Bolan,
who held AN Anaconda injecting at
Glendive Monday evening. Tuesday
In the Office OF the Yellowstone hotel
he, approached o'Leary and made him
self known to him, at the time ex-
hibiting to him some kind OF a letter
OF Identification, and he and O'Leary
then went to the dining room of the
hotel and ate dinner together. While
at dinner this man very severely de-
nounced the cattlemen and cowboys
for their inclination to vote for Hell
ena, and also suggested various means
which he could employ to influence
the vote OF the railroad men in favorof
Anaconda.
During the afternoon he was drink
ing quite freely and while playing a
game of cards with a cowboy he was
asked why he did not shave off his
beard, which was evidently about three
weeks growth. To this he replied that
he needed II In his business, as he must
do considerable travelling during the
campaign and must be in a position TO
readily disguise himself I'm working the
railroad and cowboy vote.
When the Anaconda party left the
hotel for the westbound train he fol-
lowed them and took the same train.
Conductor A. T.. Anderson. who had
been notified Of his actions, found him
on the platform OF one OF the cars and
asked him for his ticket He did not at
once produce II, but gave the conductor
some excuse and after checking up
the train Conductor Anderson came
back TO him. Then he claimed he had
given the conductor his fare. Mr..
Anderson denied this and in support
OF his own veracity the Pinkerton Of
fered to identify himself and he tried
To blum Conductor Anderson, and re-
fused to pay his fare or talk at all.
Just east Of Fallon station he was
elected from the train.
There Is no doubt that he is one OF
Pinkertons men, brought here In the
interest OF Anaconda. 10 work upon the
railroad vote, but since this break Il
Is safe To say that neither O'Leary or
Pat Bolan or any Pinkerton agent can
do Anaconda any good In this region.
