| Missoula, Nov. 15.-For several DAYS
past an organized band OF sneak thieves

numerous depredations committed
aroused the authorities to strenuous eff

now thought that the right ones are
under arrest. on Tuesday man regis
tered at the Florence under name OF
Ed Clayton. Last night he took a man
whom he told the hotel clerk was
friend, TO his room. The latter party
appeared to be under the Influence OF
liducF. At $50 this morning Eugene
Mcclure. an occupant OF room 20 in the
hotel, discovered that all his clothing
was missing. Further investigation re-
vealed the fact that the bell boys
clothes had also been stolen, and that
a coat belonging TO Mcclure had been
dropped at the rear OF the Senate sa-
loon. IL was also shown by tracks in
the snow that the thieves had dropped
the stolen articles from the roof to con-
fedsrates below.
While the matter was under discus
sion in the hotel Office Clayton and his
friend came down and were accused Of
the theft but managed to allay sus-
lpiclon, and they We're allowed To de-
part. Later In the day Clayton went to
a dye house and the lady in charge dis
covered him in the act of tapping the
till. He departed hastily. but was soon
placed under arrest. together with his
alleged friend and two other suspected
parties. Clayton is thought to be Rus

Ccdlng years, aud OF the further fact
that "a soldier with a deposit account
