COUN T
PRiN ING

IN a recent job we printed the outside
" and another printer printed the in
side. Our customer said: "Didn't you
print more than 3,oco?" Ans. "Not
more than 20 over" Customer: eve
had $50 of yours left over" Natural de-
duction: the other fellow gave short
count. That's the kind of competition
that makes friends for us. He cheated
the customer out of nearly 10 per cent.
of the job.
We give you just what we charge YOU
for every time.

BOLD BANDITS.
Two Men Hold Up a Saloon at Helena.
 Mont.

HELENA, Mont, Nov. 16.-H. Ba- mans bar room in the Belgrade hotel at Belgrade, Mont, was the scene of most daring holdup robbery early this morning. Two men with colored hand kerchiefs, in which were cut out eye holes, drawn over their faces, entered the bar room, where six men were seated around table gambling. With out word of warning the masked men demanded hands up and compelled the men to face the wall of the coon. One of the men held sixshooter on them while the other went through their pockets. Baman was then ordered to open his safe, death to result if he re- fused. He opened the safe and one of the men went through it, getting $350, while about $500 was taken from the other five men present After putting the money in their pockets, one of the men went outside and led tip two sad died horses, which the highwaymen
 mounted and rode away. No attempt
 was made to follow the men. Their footprints in the snow revealed by day light showed they rode south There
 is absolutely no clue as to the identity of the audacious men,

The Fair Will Case Is Still Being Bit
 terly Contested.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 16.-In the Fair will case Attorney Delmas made a long statement which was not con- cluded until the noon recess. He said his reason for withdrawing the pencil will offered by Mark Levingston and Mrs. Nettie Craven was to strengthen Mrs. Craven's position as the contract wife of Fair and the possessor of the deed to valuable property alleged to have been signed by Fair and termed forgeries by the Fair children. Delmas said if the pencil will should be re- jected it would injure Mrs. Craven's 8 position as the holder of those prop erty deeds, so the will was withdrawn and Mrs. Craven and her allies will concentrate their energies and strength on the deeds and in establish ing their validity. The proceedings of this morning are generally regarded as a distinct victory for the Fair heirs

YOUTHFUL OFFENDERS.
Two Boys Convicted of Obstructing
 Railroad Trains.

Edward Winship and Isidore Garcia were tried yesterday in the district court on charge of placing obstruc- tions on a railway track. Both are youthful and pleaded ignorance of the enormity of the crime they committed.
 About three months ago the lads placed some ties across the M. & P. railroad track near the four-mile house. The obstruction was removed by a chance passerby, but the lads were not to be baked in their little game of amusement, and they placed on the track another and more effective obstruction, which would have ditched passing train. Their capture fol- lowed and at their preliminary exami- nation they were bound over to the grand jury. The lads were found guilty by the jury and will be sentenced on later date-
