SATAN LOOSE AT ANACONDA.
Woman and Her Paramour Shot to Deaf
-Hold-Up and Jail Break.


-Hold-Up and Jail Break.
st. Paul, Feb. 19.-An Anaconda.
Mont, special to The Pioneer Press
says: A carnival Of crime reigned in this
city yesterday, a double murder. a
gambling house hold-up, and a jail de-
livery making the record of the day.
The victims Of the murder are Mrs.
Frank Dressler and Sherman Ransom,
who were caught in bed together by
Frank Dressler, the wronged husband.
The man and wife quarreied a few DAYS
ago and had been living apart, Mrs
Dressler remaining in their rooms over
the Oxford saloon on Main street. The
husband went to their lodgings about 8
o'clock in the morning and broke open
the door. The woman leaped from the
couch with a shrek of despair and was
shot down, dying instantly. Dressler
then turned the revolver upon Ransom
and fired four shots, all Of which took
effect. The wounded man lived two
hours.
Ransom arrived in Montana recently
from Chicago, where he was a barten-
der in several popular resorts. He has
followed the same occupation here. Mr..
and Mrs. Dressler have lived in this
state six years or more, both being Cali
fornians. They were married at Reno in
November. They had lived happily to-
gether till recently. Dressler is a gam
bier by occupation. At the inquest held
he took the stand and made a state
ment in which he claimed that he was
crazed by his discovery and remembered
shooting without aim. He said that
their quarrel had not been of a serious
nature. and that he had gone home
from his night shift to get his break
fast.
The robbery occurred about 4 o'clock
in the morning. Two masked men en-
tered Johnson's gambling house, in
which there were twenty men or more.
They exhibited revolvers mad emptied
the cash register and took all the money
in sight from two faro tables. They Sc
cured about s400 and escaped in the
darkness. Five petty larceny thieves
dug out of the county Jail at Deer Lodge
and up to this hour have escaped cap
ture- Deputy sherins are pursuing in
all directions.

A RURAL OPINION.


The poets that are singin' of the bar.
vest erich and sweet"
Never worked at fodder pullin,'
shuckin' corn or Lhreshin' wheat;
The distance sorter daEzles, but =
feller's fancy fails
When he's put to pickin' cotton,
haulin' hay or splittln' rails.
In the cities they are Singin' of "the
music IN the dells'--
The everlastin' ringin' of the pesky
cattle bells:
But they'd sorter change the metre
with their hands as sOft as silk,
If you made EN- drive the cattle
home an give 'em COWS to milk.
They make you tired talkin' bout
"the noble sons of toll
The "horney-handed heroes" that
are tillin' of the soil;
But it acts me down to thinkln' if
that labor-lovin' crowd
Had hands one-half as horny, would
they blow their horns so lOud2
It's distance makes EN- do it; they
write by city rule;
They praise Texas pony, make an
angel of mule!
But tell you, fellow-ci citizens, 'twould
make 'sm change their style
If ever we could run EN- down an

Oh. what q Whonner.

Fleas by the pound is rather a
novel way of handling the insects,
but 1t is asserted that $4,000 pounds
of.bagging was shipped to Raleigh
to a farmer. 1t was weighed and
found correct. Fleas we're found IN
it. The bagging was unrolled and
beaten, and then, when it was weigh
ed again. 1t only weighed 22,2563
pounds, so there must have been
5,7434 pounds of heaS in the tagging.
