FAST WORK OF THE POLICE
The Desperadoes Are All Behind
the Bars. II Is Thought. Except
the Lone Highwayman
Young Coryeli Is Hardened.

There is no official record of any more
hold-ups on Monday night than the four
of which accounts were published in yes
terday's Standard. Joe Mobile complain
ed at police headquarters yesterday that
he had been robbed of a few dollars
somewhere in West Park street at an ear
" hour yesterday morning, but for some
reason or other the officers think very
little of his story. and Chief Tebo unhes-
itatingly pronounced II a fake.
The search for the lone highwayman
who held up the Meaderville street car
near the Silver Bow mill and shot Mo-
torman Rheim in the leg was continued
diligently all day, but no trace of him
could be secured. The police had really
nothing TO work on except a general de-
scription of the robbers build and dress.
and his capture was regarded as a hope
less task from the start. The police are
deserving of praise. however, from the
fact that they have five of Monday
nights robbers safely behind the bars,
and they believe that the three fellows
who were arrested for knocking Mike
Leary down near the Hale house and rob-
bling him of So are the same men who
took s35 from John III. Murphy at the
point of a gun near the McDermott hotel
earlier in the evening. Murphy has not
yet called at the jail to attempt TO iden-
tify them, but they correspond with the
rough description he gave of the men
who held him up. The chances for the
prisoners going to Deer Lodge seem ex-
cellent.
Henry Connolly, Frank Gaffney and
George Smith, who are charged with rob-
bling Mike Leary. were arraigned in POI
lice court yesterday. They pleaded not
guilty and will have an examination Fri
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. James Gun
ningham and r. Coryell. who doped Mar
tin Brown, were also arraigned and en-
tered pleas of not guilty. Their examina.

The second performance of "A Rail-
road Ticket" was given another big au-
dience at Maguire's opera house last
night and the laughs seemed to come
thicker and faster even than on the
first night. The funny things in "A
Railroad Ticket" are so numerous and
crowd each other so fast that they can
not all be seen at one performance.
Harry Porter, an extremely versatile
funmaker. makes a great hit in the
half dozen different parts he plays.
James III. Bradbury, who is an old ia
vorite in Butte and an excellent actor,
adds much to the enjoyment of the per-

modern society dramas by Mr.. Brad

best in the whole collection of good
things. The company contains several
members well known to Butte audi

Hulda Halvers, does a beautiful mir
ror dance" in "A Railroad Ticket" Mr.

be close to the hearts of the people Of

Freeman's company who have played
to Butte audiences before, and Mr..
Garfield must also be well satisfied with
