Missoula. Feb. 13-The mysterious
package which has been in the vaults

and which would, ii was hoped. throw
some light upon Sergeant Craney's
missing diamonds. has been opened
An order from Captain Gagehy, now

package over to the married daughter
OF Sergeant Crancy. The package was
found 10 contain a lot Of papers-deeds

oranda-and two gold watches, but the
diamonds We're not there
The watches are those Of the ser
geant and his wife. now Mrs. Fordham
and are dull and rusty from lying SO
long in the vaults. They have been
turned over to Jewclcr Kohn for re-
pair. Among the documents i'm the
package Were two memorandas one
evidently prepared by Captain Gage
by, which gives a list of the articles
placed In the package This checks ex-
actly with the contents of the bundle
when II was opened. The other list is
one made by Craney himself and pur-
ports TO be a memorandum Of the arti-
cles which he entrusted TO Lieutenant
Gerloch. None of these have been
found and their whereabouts is as
much a mystery as ever. In this list
are all the Jewels which have disap-
peared. Judge Sloane is now working

BEES WEIR THEIR PETS.

Relief Boat Crew Believed the Honey
MaSrrs I;rou<ht Them Clod Luck.
From the New York Tribune.
Relief boat No. 16, which spends most
of her time at the lighthouse station on
Staten island, has a swarm of bees for
a mascot The relief boat, like all 9TH
ers Of her kind, is likely to be ordered
out at any time to take the place of a
lightship in need Of repairs. She may
even go to Sandy Hook or as far away
as Brentons reef, near Newport, but
usually she is al st. George under wait
ing orders. one day II year ago last
summer Captain Murray, her skipper
heard great buzzing in the air and
looking up, he saw a cloud of bees MAX
ing directly toward him. eBing unused
TO such apparitions. he ran into the
cabin and awaited developments. The
bees alighted on the port rail, near the
gangWay, forming a bunch which ap-
peared to the captains eye bigger than
peck measure. Before the captain
knew what had become Of them, they
had disappeared from sight, and then
he found that they had gone through
hole and made themselves at home i'm
the side of the vessel.
The captain and Grey soon became
used TO the company of the bees, and
thought nothing of having a dozen of
them bu2zing around their heads at
Tested. one day the vessel was ordered
out to relieve the lChtship at Sandy
Hook, and for nearly two months the
bees were Duffeted about on the water,
but they seemed to thrive on the diet
of brown sugar provided for them by
the sailors, and never became seasick.
An unlucky day arrived, however.
when bee-fancying friend of the cap
tain offered to purchase the queen of
the swarm, and tried to drive her from
her stronghold by the use of tobacco
smoke. The bees refused to be driven
out. and a dcnser smoke was created
with gunpoNder and other fuel The
result was that all the bees were suffo-
Gated, and they We're taken out after
ward from the bottom Of the vessel
with a dipper.
The captain and crew mournod sin
cerely for the loss Of their pets, and
every sailors heart of them shuddered
secretly at the thought of going to sea
after they had allowed such manifest
defiance of providence to occur on
board their vessel Their surprise and
pleasure were therefore unbounded

was seen I'm the rigging, APPARENTLY look

he spread out some brown sugar on a
write shot as he had been told by his
Bookkeeping friend to do in such emer-
gcncies placed a soap box on end over
the sugar and began beating a tin pan
to attract the attention OF the bees.
His efforts were not in vain. With lit
tie persuasion the bees entered the box
and made themselves at home, where

Ed MYERS BETTER
His Chances lOr Recovery Are Now
Considered Pretty Good.
HOT AFTER THE ASSAlLANTS
Several Tramps Under Arrest at
Various roints-The Right Men
Thought to Ee in Gus
tody in Anaconda.

Missoula. Feb. 13.--This noon there was
a decided Improvement in the condition
of Ed alias Robert, Myers, the man VINO
was stabbed yesterday afternoon near
the Northern Pacific depot, and Or. Han
son this afternoon stated to a standard
reporter that unless blood poisoning de-
veloped the chances for the mans recov-
cry were good. All hemorrhage had
ceased and the patient was resting
quietly. Myers passed bad night and
is faint and weak from loss of blood, but
he has wonderful nerve and IL seems
likely that he will pun through. The
mans grit is phenomenal. There are few
men who could walk from the depot to
St. Patrick's hospital after having re-
ceived two such ugly cuts as were in
fiicted upon Myers. II is considered re-
markable that he did not fall on the way
and succumb to loss OF blood.
Although the police were not notified of
the stabbing until the assailant had been
given an opportunity to escape, both the
city and sheriffs officers have been act
i've in tracing the flight OF members OF
the gang that was with Myers. and, as a
result of the work of the officers II men
are now in custody between Thompson
Falls and Helena. All these are freight
car tourists and were taken from trains
during last night and this forenoon.
Cnty Marshal Angevine this afternoon
received telephone message from Ana
conda that leads him to believe that four
men arrested there this morning by the
police are the associates of Myers. This
opinion is strengthened by the statement
of Engineer Chadwick, who pulled an
extra freight east from here last night,
just behind No. .. At Garrison. while he
was oiling his engine, Mr.. Chadwick was
accosted by man who had evidently
ridden I'm on his train and who wanted 10
learn something of Myers condition. The
fellow said that he was at the Missoula
depot when the stabbing was done. but
that he had nothing To do with it. 1t is
possible that this man and his compan-
ions went from Garrison to Anaconda
last night and are the ones now held by
the police there
Myers has all the time expressed the
belief that the gang went east from here
and would be taken either in Anaconda
or Helena. IL is probable that. I'm all
the crowd of breakbeam tourists that are
held along the line, the guilty man will be
found.
The local officers know the members Of
the gang with which Myers consortcd
and Myers himself will be able To identity
the man that cut him. To-day Myers Is
not as reticent as he was last night and
he will be willing to aid I'm the detection
of the man, whom he seemed last night
very anxious to screen.
The sheriff is confident that the men ar
rested in Anaconda are the right ones
and the other officers have been instruct
ed not 10 bring in their prisoners until
the sheriff has seen the men who are in
custody in Anaconda.
