Helena, Mont, Sept. 27.-Just two
months ago the town of Belle Fourche, S.
d. was visited by bank robbers who held
up the cashier of the Butte County bank
and secured several thousands dollars in
booty. After a hot running fight they
made their escape and nothing was
known of their whereabouts until they
were captured in the eastern portion of
this state by sheriff and stock inspector.
They were brought to Billings and put
in jail, and have been positively identified
by Cashier Tichnor of the Belle Fourche
bank and the sheriff of that county. The
prisoners were in Red Lodge last Sunday
and on Monday Sheriff Dunn learned
sufficient to put him on the alert. He
started with small posse after them and
traced them by way of Absorakee to
Columbus, where he was Joined by Stock
Detectives w. 7. Smith and Dick Hicks
and Constable Calhoun. They followed
hot on the trail to Lavina, on the Mus

selves, but whenever they showed their
heads the officers fired and they surrend-
cred. The one with the horse parleyed
and getting behind the horse, drew his
revolver, when shot went through the
horses neck and hit the mans wrist,
causing him to drop the revolver. He

TASK FOR WOODF0RD
PROGRAM OF UNITED STATES AS
TO CUBA is KNOWN.
American Minister Guarded by Sc
cret Police the Route to
SPANS Capital.

Madrid, Sept 27.-The arrival of Unit
ed States Minister Woodford from San
Sebastian has caused sensation. The
program of the United States has been
ascertained. This does not contemplate
declaration of war if Spain rejects
mediation, but according to report an
"ostentatious proclamation to the world
of disapproval of the Cuban regime" by
suspending diplomatic relations with
Spain and Withdrawing the United
States minister.
General Woodford has declined to be
interviewed on the subject, further than
to say that his conference with the duke
of Tetuan, the foreign minister, was of
the most satisfactory character. The I'M
expected bitterness of the press and of
public opinion him, but he hopes it will
be soon allayed, as he believes his mis-
sion favorable to Spanish interests, and
can not comprehend that Spain should
reject mediation designed to end an i'm
poverishing war. He has not named a
time at which the war must be termin-
ated, but he hopes, as the result of the
tenders, that it will be ended quickly.
He believes theh war is inflicting incalcu-
liable loss upon THE United States, and
that it is impossible to prevent the or
ganization of filibustering expeditions.
Guarded by Police.
Unusual measures were taken to pro-
tect Minister Woodford on his journey
from San Sebastian to this city, but the
trip was quite uneventful. A party of
gen d'armes, commanded by a sub-lieu-
tenant, guarded the southern express on
which he was a passenger. Secret police
were posted at theh station, and the pre-
feet of police was in waiting to escort
him to his hotel. The drive through
the streets was marked by no special
incident, though several people saluted
him, receiving bow in return.
Some comment has been caused by the
fact that Minister Woodford's family has
not accompanied him, but remains be-
hind in the French frontier Minister
Woodford explains that his party is
large one requiring a commodious home,
and prefers spending pleasant October
at Biarritz until suitable residence can
be secured here. The legation can not
be used as a residence.
General Woodford has already engaged
box at the Royal opera house and has
purchased horses.
General Woodford has taken apart
ments at the Hotel Rome, but receives
official visits at the legation, where he
passed the entire morning.

PAUL IN MELITA AND ROME.
Lesson vI.-Noyember Z, 1897.
Acts xvii. 1926.
INTRODUCTION.

AT length Paul's desire was fulfilled,
and he reached Rome. But not as he
may have hoped to come. 1t may, we
cannot surely tell, have been his hope to
be received with the public acclaim at
least Of the little church, and to have
accorded to him the privilege of preach
ing the Gospel publicly in the imperial
city. Different was the realization of
his hope. He came to Rome pris-
oner. chained to his keeper, to abide a
trial for his life.-Yet he knew full
we'll that the Gospel must win it's victo-
ries through many seeming defeats.
Paul is really at his best while enduring
confinement in his later days He re-
joices in the fellowship Of such Chris
tians as are not ashamed of him. He
consecrates the margin of liberty left
him to the completion of his Gospel
ministry. His visible shame was trans
figured by faithfulness to enduring
glory.

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRoDUoTIoN.-We have for our lesson
the completion of the fascinating New
Testament, narrative of Paul's journey to
Rome. Trace the journey on the map.
a. V. 1-6. PAUL IDoLIzED. We think
better of human nature because the bar
barians of Malta showed to the ship
wrecked company kindly hospitality.
A true ''Knight of Malta" has ever since
been pledged to fulfill chivalrous deeds of
humanity. The incident of the vipers
implies no miracle. 1t is expressly said
that Paul received no hurt from the viper
on his hand The thing that caused the
natives to regard Paul with superstition
was his remaining sane, without panic.
Panic is often a deadly disease
CD V. 40. PAUL BECOMES AGAIN A
HEALER. That there is for the body a re-
storative power in Gospel faith, is one of
the reiterated facts of the New Testament
story. perfectly sane mind will
make for itself, in due time, sound body.
Christian faith develops sanity.
(3) V. 2l-l6. ROME AT LAST A pros
porous end of the eventful voyage brings
Paul TO the peninsula of Italy which he
had for many years longed to see.--The
brethren who came down the Appian Way
to meet Paul caused him to exult in
gratitude; he became more confident Of
victory for the. Gospel, because he saw
that Christians could be heroic in gener-
osity.
The freest man in the world was a
TO be assured that we are immortal
while we have Gods work to do, is to be
calm in peril.
