the policeman his troubles The police

not identify Brown. He said Creech
was the only man he got a good look
at. He had been gambling during the
evening and had won some money. The
two highwaymen were In the gambling
room and Farley staked them both,
but they lost. He then started home

A Beautiful Sight.

Butte, Dec. 24.-One of the most at
tractive stores in Butte to-day is the
large meat market of the Luxton-
Smith Butchering Co, 70 East Park
street. The display of show beeves is
certainly one of the finest we ever saw,
being composed of young cattle mostly
2-year-olds. but from their size we
would think they were fully matured.
II any one questions that fine meats of
all kinds can be had in this city. they
should lose no time in visiting this
market In its holiday attire. This mar
ket is lighted by gas, using the new
Wellsbach burner, which affords a
splendid light, so that the scene at
night is really beyond description.
Everyone who can should visit this
store whether they want to buy or not,
as IL is well worth a special visit.

Farmers Mutual Insurance.

The amount of money that has found
it's way to New York and other Eastern
cities through the great insurance COM
panies runs into the hundreds Of mill
ions. Many huge piles Of masonry II
the way Of city business houses and
costly residences have been erected by
money drawn from people in remote
parts Of the country who, until recent
years, seemed to think that insurancel
institutions could not thrive outside ol
few Of the large Eastern cities. The
people, however, are awaking to their
own interests, and in many parts OF the
country mutual insurance Companies
have been organized and are operating
successfully, much more cheaply, and Ia
every way more satisfactorily TO theS
people than are the Eastern companies.
1t is simply folly to pay double rate
to wealthy corporations in q distant
part Of the country when the farmers
can insure at cost in Farmers Mutuals
and keep the money all at homo instead
Of building stone fronts for Eastern
nabobs.

The same authority says that one very
gratifying feature in connection With
this subject, is the integrity and efR-t
cheney that has universally character
lied the management Of these associa-
tions. Losses, failures Of companies,
embezzements, extravaganza in sala-f

by which the money of the insured is so
