quiring about the condition OF his son.
But up to midnight he had received no
reply. He Is naturally much concerned
over the very discouraging news. as the
associated press report numbers young
Hornbrook among the most seriously
injured. The young nan was chief
clerk OF the yards. and was yapidly
gaining the good will OF his employers

hope that the next news he receives of
his son will be Of a more encouraging

Trenton. n. j.. Dec. 26-"Black' Critic
was defeated this afternoon at the Tren-
ton Athletic club in the 18th round by
Jack waldron. The mel fought at catch
weights. The early part Of the contest
was very scientific and Waldron showed
the most sSlll. In the ninth round Grit
70 began to force the fighting. and ap-
parently tired himself out. waldron had
Griro entirely at his mercy in the 18th
and 18th rounds. and hit him at will. At
the end Of the 18th round Critic staggered
to his corner. and at the call OF the CONS
for the 18th ound he failed TO respond.
The decision was, of course. given 10

THE HOLO-UP PROBLEM
Are Two More as a Christmas
Present.
THERE Is ONLY ONE WAY
The City Must Be Made Too Hot for
Highwaymen-The Two Latest
Were Caught Red
Handed

Butte got two hold-ups in Its Christi
mas stocking as a present from Santa
Claus and there could scarcely be a
more unwelcome gift. For the past ten
years the hold-up question has been a
more important question in Butte than
the smoke problem, and its solution
would be of fully as much service to
Butte's future. A man can exist in the
smoke put IL is a harder proposition for
a man to walk home at night and not
know whether or not he Is going to
have a gun thrust in his face and his
money taken away before he gets there.
and perhaps get a bullet through his
head.
Butte Is anxious TO solve the hold-up
problem, N the only way the problem
can be solved is To make IL so hot for
the highwaymen that they will We
Butte "A complete radiance for all time.
Butte now has two hold-ups who vera
caught red-handed. There is no DOUBT
of their guilt. One Of them ATTEMPTED
to murder a policeman and missed sue
cess by n very close shave.
What is Butte going to do with these
highwaymen? What are the chances
of their being punished? VIII they
ever be punished? One would natur-
ally think that there could be little
doubt of the conviction and punishment
of the criminals. But there are a
good many chances II their escape.
They may break out of Jail before the
date of their trail. They may be ac-
quilted. The jury may hang. The
witnesses who now are ready TO ap-
pear against them mayb be spirited away.
as happens in fully half the criminal
cases in this county, or they may die
or become less clear in their remem-
brances. IL the hold-ups are convict
ed. they may get of with very light
sentences. as happen in Butte quite
frequently. They may get a new ttial.
which also happens too frequently. IL
they ever get into the pe~nitentiary. pc
titions are pretty sure to be circulated
for pardon and pardons are often
granted.
1t is a satisfaction to know that the
citizens of Butte have two sure enough
highwaymen in its "ras~ and IL can
keep them safe for awhile anyway. 1t
would be a disgrace indeed III they ore
ever allowed to resume their murder
u pursuit in Butte. Pau Kruger

there Is nothing to be feared from

All day yesterday and last night the

plices of Pat Quinn and John Ryan. the

The officers received many compliments
for their capture of the bandits. and
with the justly earned feathers in their
caps they worked all the harder to cap

RUDE Cohenstock played a losing
game last night at 10 o'clock in the
California brewery saloon. Rube was
full of holiday enthusiasm and created
more or less uneasiness by his reckless
manner. Proprietor Lienemann told
Bob Shaw, one of the ~bartenders. TO es-
cort RUDE out to the sidewalk. which
command was promptly obeyed. Rube
went out without resistance. but as
soon as he got outside he swung his
right to catch Shaw on the jaw. but
missed his mark m sent his arm
through the glass door. then ran like
a May w. down the alley back of the
saloon. Shaw started in pursuit and
overlook RUDE just as he was about TO
enter Park street and turned him over
to Officer Cantwell. Rube was taken
to the city Jail and City Physician
