bolts OF silk and other articles that
had been stolen. The detectives en-
tered a caboose and found $500
cigars, which had. been stolen. A
squaw brought LOO cigars into town,
which she had found lying near the
railroad track outside of town. She
offered them for sale and they were
purchased by a Havre firm. Later a
milkman drove in with 1900 cigars,
which he had found near the track.
Further clues were obtained and the
arrests of E. Broudes, a freight con-
ductor. and r. c. Gallon, a brakeman,
on the same train followed. on a
charge of stealing 1000 cigars. Both
men are heads of families and have al
ways been highly respected. 1t is al
legged that both have confessed. The
detectives are still at work. and whole
sale arrests are expected.
1t is evident that an organized gang
has been at work for several months.
Merchants all along the line have COM
planned of shortages in their invoices,
and the company has expended many
thousands of dollars in efforts to catch
the burglars. Warrants are out for
three other railroad employees and re-
wards have been offered for their cap
ture. Great excitement prevails in
Havre and along the KalispeI division
and there will be sensational denoue-
ments, perhaps duplicating high Of
ficials.
Marshal Downing to-day arrested a
young man named A. Hespler on a
telegram from Kalispel officials
which stated that Hespler was
wanted on a charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses. 1t is al
legged that Hespler secured money on a
draft, pretending that his father, whom
he claims Is a wealthy citizen of ST.
Paul, would cash the draft. The draft
was protested and the warrant for
Hespler's arrest. followed. Hespler
claims that his father had agreed to
deposit the money and neglected to do
so. The Kalispel officials will be here
tomorrow morning.
