fed in behalf Of the prisoner, but the
evidence for the Commonwealth was too
strong, and the boy was easily convicted.

peared in yesterdays Dispatch. was re-
quired TO give security OF 800 for ninety

Zeppich aad Nelson.

Great Falls, May 14.-Zeppich and
Nelson, the two Jail breakers and fugi-
tives from Glasgow. who are just now
creating such a furore of excitement in
North Dakota. are described as cow
boys of a wild and woolly character
rather than hardened criminals. Those
who know the men say they are not
murderers, and are wanted at Glasgow
more for breaking Jail than anything
else The assertion that either o. the
men are bandits. highwaymen or muir
derers is contradicted, unless the men
have committed such crimes since leav-
ing Montana. 1t is said that neither
Zeppich nor Nelson would object to
stealing a horse or killing range cattle
If they wanted to use the former or eat
or sell the latter. but they are not GRIM
inals Of the first grade and were never
considered really dangerous men. The
terms 'cut-throafs." outlaws" and the
like. as applied to the two runaways,
are laughed at by former acquaint-
ances of the two cowboy sports Of VAL

Grading fifth Avenue.

Great Falls May 1.-THE work of
grading Fifth avenue North is nearly
completed and has had the effect of
its making one of the most attractive
thoroughfares in the city. The work
has bene done under the personal SUI
pervision of City Engineer Swearenger,
who thoroughly understands that par
ticular class of work. Residents of
Fourth avenue are preparing a petition
to the city council asking that improve
ments of a like nature be extended to
that avenue. 1t is hardly probable that
the petition will be granted at this time
owing to the fact that the members of
the council are in favor of retrench-
ment and a radical reduction of ex-
penses wherever 1t is possible to save
money this year.
The council is composed of a conserv-
alive body of men, who have started
in the new year with the intention of
keeping out of debt, and their position
In this respect is sustained by those
laboring under the burden of heavy
taxation.
