Joshed by Johnson.

The Billings (Montana) Gazette of
the 22nd inst, in its write up Of the
Deadwood and Lead excursionists had
TIE following:
THE excursion was in charge Of J. r.
Phelan, division superintendent of the
Burlington; ii. c. Mutt, assistant super
intendent; J. l.. Bentley, commercial
agent at Deadwood, and w. w. johnson,
the commercial agent of this city. The
latter gentleman, who lately has been
establishing quite a reputation as a
practical joker, put up a job on the ex-
c~ursionists that created a whole lot Of
fun, and 1t will be some time before the
gentlemen who were the victims will
hear the last of it when they return
home.
Mr.. Johnson wired Agent Hahn of
this city to get Sheriff Berky and come
down on a freight to meet the train at
Fort Custer. When the excursionists
arrived there six or eight of the gentle
men, who were quietly engaged in the
great American game of draw, were
thrown into a state Of CONSERVATION by
the sheriff walking into the car, with
little Louis Hahn posing as deputy, and
informing them that they were under
arrest for gambling IN the reservation.
The gentlemen thought it was a joke at
first, but so well did the sheriff and his
selfappointed deputy play their parts
that they were 20 convinced that they
had gotten themselves iuto a bigger jack
pot than any that had been played.
Some Of the boys turned pale when they
were solemnly marched out of the train
into the depot and informed that they
could not proceed on the trip until they
had answered to the military authori-
ties. Others tried TO hide their chips
%ex-Sheriff Mcdonald hastily passing his
TO a friend with the remark that he did
not want any evidence found on his
person.
"A hurried conference was held at the
depot. and as a last resort Superinten.
dent Phelan was appealed to. He OPEN
ed communication with the command
ing officer by telephone and finally got
his consent to allow the party to proceed
to Billings, the culprits still believing
they were under arrest. To make mat
ters worse, Mr.. Johnston and a few
other of the practical jokers sent specials
to the Deadwood and Lead City papers,
giving the names Of those arrested and
stating that they were detained at Fort
Custer, while the rest of the party had
left fer Billings. There must be con-
sternation in those cities to day, and
some of the friends of the gentlemen
must be anxious, but when the Grimm
ais reached this city they played back"
as it were, by paying So for a special to
the Butte Miner. giving the names Of
the jokers as those arrested, and the
name Of Commercial Agent Johnston,
who put up tn" job, was included. We
are reliably informed, however, that the
real criminals were W. Falconer, of the
Deadwood & Delaware Smelter com.
pany; j. F. Edmonds, insurance and
real estate dealer N. E. franklin, drug
gist j. r. Brennan, railroad commits
sioner of South Dakota f. Mcdonald,
e~x-sheriff of Deadwood Sol Bloom,
clothier; j Goldberg, grocer, and Sol.
Star, ex-mayor of Dead wood.
