A FIVE MILLION HAUL
Men Who Buncoed the Bank of
England.
TWO OF THEM IN BUTTE
One OF Their Assistants Talked Too
Much and Their Little Gama Was
Spoiled 49, We're Sent to
Jail for Lie.

Two of the most noted individuals
who have visited Butte in long time
arrived in the city on last evenings
train from Helena. They are George and
Austin Bidwell, the two brothers who
organized and managed the great raid
on the Bank of England many years
ago III which they secured s5,O00,O00 Of
that institutions money by discounting
forged bills of exchange.
Most people are familiar with the me-
morable raid. The Bidwells who We're
then young Wall street operators, went
to England and being sharpers in fin
ance. soon discovered it would not be
difficult matter to job the Bank of Eng
land. With the assistance of assistants,
also Americans, they proceeded to forge
the$names of the Rothschilds and other
eminent monied men to bogus bills of
exchange which they would discount
at the Bank of England. The scheme
was worked so smoothly that the slow
plodding Englishmen are said to have
doled out 100000 in gold before the
fraud was discovered, and then it was
tipped off by one of the assistants. whose
head got turned by the marvellous sue
cess of the scheme and he talked too
much.
The BldWellS were followed hall
over the world before they were finally
captured. The whole quartette were
sentenced for life for the job The elder
brother, George, served Is years. At the
end of that time he had been so reduced
in health by being punished for at
rtempts to escape-punishments which he
describes as the most frightful tortures
that he was turned loose to die. He
was a living skeleton when released
from prison, but he recovered and re-
turned to America. He wrote a book
entitled Forging His Chains by the
sale of which he raised money to prose-
cute an effort to secure the release of his
confederates and few years ago sue
ceeded.

their release from prison. and are said

Dog Drives oxen,
From the New York Commercial Ad-

From the New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser.
On the high road between Bordeaux
and Aroachon, France, a certain mon
grel collie is known to and much re-
spected by hundreds of people on ac-
count of it's almost human intelligence.
1t invariably accompanies a couple of
bullocks that draw cart loaded with
charcoal into Bordeaux, and returns
with it empty to the locality where the
wood is burned
Although the cart is in charge of a
man, the oxen are practically in Charge
of the dog. The animal walks on ahead,
leading the bullocks, and always strict
ly observing the rules of the road.
When the slow-moving beasts have to
turn to the right the dog banks on ulat
side of them, and when to the left he
banks on the other side. the oxen nav-
ing perfectly learned their part and be-
ing quite willing to obey quadruped
many times smaller than themselves.
The dog learned his business by observ-
ing his MASTER who was much sur
prised one day to find his companion so
accomplished.
To lead a bullock cart and to know
exactly what to do on meeting other
traffic seems as near an approach to
human reasoning as can be attained by
the intelligence of the brute.

Not Endorsed.

From the Kalispell Inter Lake
In a speech at the reception given him
at Butte Senator-elect Clark stated that
95 per cent. of the republicans of Mon
tana approve the action of the republican
members who voted for him. He did not
disclose the source from which he OBJ
tanned his information. If he had said
that 95 per cent. of the republicans con-
denim their action he would have been
nearer the truth. and if Helena is left out
it is not probable that as many as one
per cent. approve it. A careful examina-
ton of the republican papers of the state
fails to show a single one that in
dorses it.

THE PAVING COMMIT TEE
Various Matters Considered at
Yesterdays Meeting.
OBJECTION MAY BE MADE
Property Owners Don't Want to Pay the
Assessment in One Lump-Each
Block to Be Made an I'm
provement District.

The paving committee of the council
held a meeting yesterday in accord
ance with action of the council the
evening before, looking to an early ar
rangement of matters pertaining to
the paving to be done the coming sea-
son. The meeting was held at the Of
flee of City Attorney DeWolfe. and
Mayor Harrington and City Engineer
Bickenbach were present to advise
with the committee. Owing to the fact
that much of the property along the
streets where paving is contemplat ted
for this year commands considerably
lower revenues than that benefited by
last seasons paving. numerous prop
erty owners have let it be known that
they would object to the paving if the
full assessment had to be paid in one
lump. as last year. but it has been un-
derstood that there would be no OBJ
jectons if more time could be given
in which to make the payments. To
arrive at plan to obviate these Cb-
jections was the purpose of yesterdays
meeting. In previous informal talks
City Attorney DeWolfe had expressed
the opinion that it would be well to
ask the legislature to amend the state
law governing such matters, but City
Engineer Bickenbach suggested a plan
yesterday which will doubtless be
adopted, and which will obviate the
necessity of amending the law.
City Engineer Bickenbach found the
authorization for his plan in that sec
ton of the law relating to the estab-
fishing a special Improvement dis
trict in cities. This section authorizes
the passage of an ordinance levying
the special tax and allowing three
years in which to pay the special as
seessment in three yearly payments.
Mr.. Rickenbach's scheme is to make
each block on the streets where paw
ing is to be done a special Improvement
district the assessments against each
property owner benefited to be based
on the area of his holdings on the
street improved. By SO doing it is fig
ured the assessments will be the most
equitably equalized. After full dis
cussion of the matter it was decided
to have the city engineer to figure out
the assessments the contemplated paw
ing will necessitate. and if the whole
scheme appears practicable, the COM
mittee will report recommending that
the city attorney draft an ordinance in
conformity with it. making $each block
embraced in the district. to be paved

ing the assessments and giving three
years in which t9 pay the. special tax
in three yearly installments.' - 81.

A Cartoon Country.

From Bede's Budget
lie American people are noted for
their humor, and arr quick to appreci-
ate new or comical situations. Because
of these characteristics they delight in
cartoon history of passing events. Nor
is the cartoon to he lightly estimated
IN Its influence on public opinion, for it
has the effect of happy story to Illus
trate the point of a speech. And as the
people Of the Northwest are perhaps as
quick, bright, busy and restless as any,
they eagerly devour the cartoons of the
Twin City metropolitan press. And this
taste has been cultivated by such car
toonists as Bart" of the Minneapolis
Journal and Bowman Of the Minneap-
young men on the other dailies. In fact
the Northwest has become a cartoon
country, and the editors and business
managers of the daily papers may not
know how much interest attaches to
their first page illustrations which GER
tanly have an appreciable commercial
value. New interest has been given to
this feature of modern Journalism by
the war books of cartoons issued by
both the Journal and Tribune, and by
the very delightful chalk talks which
Mr.. Bowman has given at various
points in the state! The cartoonists not
only WELD an .enviabe influence. but
entertain the public, and give an add
tional cup of joy toelife throughout this
banana belt. nti,u

TO FIND PRIME BEEF CUTS.
Practical Information on the Value of
Various Parts.

Practical Information on the Value of
Various Parts.
From the Omaha orld-Herad.
The prime steer used for beef purposes
weighs about 900 pounds. Of this amount
there is in the carcass two sets of first
quality ribs. consisting of seven ribs in
each set. and weighing about 40 pounds
per set. There are also two lo:ns weighing
about 40 pounds each. There is. on an av-
erase. IT'S pounds of choice beef in each
well-regu.atedi steer, but some butchers
have been known to sell porterhouse from
a carcass after everything was gone but
the horns
The remainder of the beef after the
choicest has been cut away. is called the
"msnomer,' from the fact that it sells
at lower price. A large percentage of
the most nutritious meat is found in the
coarser cuts, but nearly every one de-
mands a part of the 175 pounds, which is
false idea of domestic economy as well as
judgment.
Practical experience has shown that the
utilization of the chucks. the best part of
the round. the rumo flank, the peate
and brsket gives the best results. and is
conducive of better health than the high
er-priced meats. Such parts need more at
tention while cooking. however yet the
many tempting dishes that may be made
from them more than repay for all extra
trouble The average housewife may not
know it. but nevertheless ii is fact that
butchers who are daily and hourly hand
ling all kinds of cuts of beef almost in
variab.y choose for their own consump-
ton flank steak. They say it is more sa
worry and just as tender as tenderloin.
which cut the butcher seldom eats. The
flank steak is situated between the inside
and outside layers of creamy colored fat
in the flank and when taken from we'll
fed stock is excellent. 1t costs at TIE
market but half as much as porterhouse
or sirloin. e.
An old butcher once told me that the
best piece of meat in the bullock for
making a dish Of boiled beef is the close
grained top piece over the shoulder blade.
Meat adhering to the ribs makes much
more satisfactory steak than the so-calied
sirloin and costs but little. This piece
may be larded and served as is filet de
beef. 1t is also quite acceptable as Mignon
steak.

Laying Down the Law.

From Law Notes
The great American game Of draw poker
has been declared game of chance by
the Vienna supreme court. Before reach
ing this decision the court considered
carefully the intellectual element involved
in bluffing, but finally held that it must
be classed among games of hazard This
has been the settled doctrine in this coun-
try for many years, and no supreme court
decision was required to settle it.
