MOODY IN JAIL AGAIN
There Is No Telling When He
Will Be Out.
HEARING is NOT YET SET
He Is Supposed to Have Been Mem
Der of the Notorious Clancy Gang.
He Will Be Held Until the SUI
preme Court Decides.

The complaint against Frank Moody.
which was issued Tuesday afternoon
from the county attorneys office, was
filed to-day in Justice Burns court in
South Butte, and the man who was re-
Gently acquitted of murder under such
peculiar circumstances, was once more
arraigned on criminal charge. The
complaint charges Moody with having
taken part in the robbery of the Great
Northern bridge crew near Meaderville
on the night of Feb. q, 1897.
Constable Boyce took Moody before
Justice Burns yesterday. The prisoner
pleaded not guilty, the date of hearing
being left to be set after the holidays.
Moody could not furnish bonds and was
committed to the county Jail once more,
pending his hearing. Moody, it will be
remembered, was supposed to be
member of the old Clancy gang which
did the job at ,Meaderville, but all es
capped punishment except the ringleader
Clancy, who was sent to the peniten-
tiary for a long term by his namesake,
Judge Clancy Two of the gang have,
however, been sent to Deer Lodge for
other crimes, two have gone to the
Utah penitentiary, and another is
awaiting trial for breaking into a box
car and stealing a quantity of lard
some time ago. Moody is supposed to
be the sixth member of the gang. He
was not arrested with the others, but
was found in bagnio in Pleasant alley.
When arrested on suspicion he was
found to have a black mask in one of
his pockets, the possession of which he
explained by claiming he had been to
a masquerade dance. The authorities
believed otherwise and held him for
completely in the Meaderville job.
He beat the case. however and was
released five days prior to the Kroeger
murder, of which he has just been ac-
quilted. This time he was out but one
day when rearrested and there is no
telling when he will again regain his
liberty, as it is understood that the ar
rest on the present charge is simply to
hold the man untilthe supreme court can
pass upon Judge Clancy's action in his
instructions to the jury that acquitted
Moody. If. as prominent lawyers be-
lieve will be the case, the supreme court
holds that Moody has not been in jeop-
ardy. he will have to stand another trial
for murder if not, he will probably be
released.

tory wool are said to have been at full

concessions are made are for the most
part on old woods. Coming events cast
their shadows before and the large pur-
chasers of Montana this week consid-
cred To be an earnest of widespread de-
mand for wool after the new year has
made its appearance. Foreign woods have
been largely neglected
The sales of the week amount 10 49,. 900
pounds domestic and 9Sl 600 pounds for
eign making a total of 1853 coo against II
total of 2,5l4, 500 pounds for the previous

I'M WASHING
Hon. Webster Davis Speaks the Pill
grim Spirit os the West.


Washington. Dec. 22.-The Congrega-
tona1 club of Washington celebrated
Forefathers day by a dinner at the
Congregational church Among the
guests Were Hon. Nelson Dngley,
Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Webster Davis and Hon. Chauncey NJ.
Depew.
Rev Isaac Clark, president of the
club, made his Introductory address.
and was followed by Hon. Webster Da-
WIS., who spoke on the Pilgrim Spirit OF
the West
This, Mr.. Davis said. was an iconoclast-
ic age, in which things that long ago
have been accepted as established truths
are being doubted by our so-ealled modern
thinkers. No one, however, dared question
the fact that the Pilgrims did land on
Plymouth Rock ana plant the germs of
that development which we are to-day en-
joying. They came here to find home
where everything is possible for IL citizen.
and they planted the seed from which
sprang the tree of liberty, whose branches
to-day spread over our great continent
TO furnish shelter to the careworn and
weary birds from every land and every
cline.
Mr. Davis briefly sketehed the progress
of these Developments and referred to
the living monuments which have arisen
due to the thrift and energy of their de-
scendants and to which the people of
the West and South are deeply indebted
AS heirs to a splendid heritage, sa ii
Mr.. Davis. 1--WE should love our homes
and our country, 1t is only when a people
lose their patriotism and become stupid
and careless from TOO much reveling in
luxury peace and prosperity. that they
are in danger This has been the road
along which many nations and many
peoples have in the past gone to ruin and
decay
He closed by expressing, the hope that
love of country and patriotism might
bloom and blossom in the hearts of the
present generation of free men and wo-
men, even more than in the hearts OF
| their ancestors. and that they might con-
| tinue the work so nobly begun.

HELD UP AND ROBBED.
Two Highwaymen Go Through Gus John
and Relieve Him of His
Watch and Money.

Another employe of the Parrot smell
ter, named Gus Johnson, had an excit-
ing experience last night between Il and
o. clock He was held UP by two high
waymen and robbed of a gold watch
and chain and a few dollars in money.
More fortunate than his namesake, he
escaped injury.
Johnson was going home from his
work. when suddenly man stepped out
of the smoke and fog directly in front
of him, with gun pointed at him. He
turned around and there stood another.
He was ordered to put up his hands,
which he did cheerfully and, remember
ing the recent experience of the shift
boss of the same name, he asked the
highwaymen to take what he had, but
not beat him up. This they did and dis
appeared again in the dense smoke.
johnson hunted up the policeman on
that beat and related his experience and
headquarters were notified. The smoke
was so bad that it was a difficult mat
ter to do much toward catching the
highwaymen, and no trace of them has
yet been found.

San Francisco, Dec. 22.-In the most
sensational finish ever witnessed on the
California turf, DR. H. l.. Rowelrs Sat
suma, at Oakland track, this afternoon,
beat out Tea Rose and the Montana
sprinter, May w, at three-fourths of
mile in 1:12ls, lowering the California
record half a second and coming with

record on a regulation track. The race
was a hair raiser from the start to finish
and had the Montana mare got anything
like an intelligent ride she would have
finished second at least. She was twice
bumped by Bellcosa on the route, once
being knocked out of her stride and los
ing at least two lengths.
However. the ride put up on Satsuma
by Eddie Jones was just az ahominable,
and it is doubtful If the game May w.
