GANG OF THIEVES WORK
They Visited Several Houses in
Great Falls
DURING CIRCUS PARADE
1t Appears to Be the Work of Amateurs
as Many Valuables Were Over
looked-Money, Only, Was
Taken.

Great Falls, July IA gang of
success during the presence of the
circus yesterday. Down at the resi-
dence of Sam French on Second ave-
nue. south they secured $3.50 in cash,
but passed over valuables worth much
more. 1t is evident that they were not
professionals of high degree. Mr..
French, who is chief of the fire depart
ment, was at the fire station, of course,
and when his wife went out with the
baby to view the parade she locked the
door into the kitchen from the rest of
the house. A carpenter was working
in the kitchen, and when he, too, ran
up town to see the elephant he tried
to lock the outside door, but failed to
make it stick. The burglar pried the
inside door open with a jimmy and
then kicked it in. A small safe in
which was the money and. in addition
two gold watches and jewelry valued
at far more than the face value of the
money, was open, and the thief went
carefully through it, picking out only
the money. A child's safe, in which
there was a small amount in change,
he found, but evidently could not open
at once, and threw it down in his hur-
ny. Sam says to-day that he is well
come to the cash, so long as he left
the valuables, some of which have a
value attached which is not to be eX-
pressed in dollars.
The residence of r. Marshall at No.
40 Fifth street south was likewise en-
tered during the press of the parade
through the streets, and a silver
watch and three razors were taken
NJ Miller was entered and two medals
belonging to Miss Rose Miller were
taken, one being manufactured from
$40 gold piece. 1t is probable that the
man who turned this trick visited sew
eral other houses in the neighborhood,
for it is known that a smooth looking
young man called at the homes of W.
d. Dickinson and s. S. Hawkins, but
finding some one at home in each case,
made inquiries about some fictitious
person and left hastily. These calls
were made just prior to the time at
which the Miller robbery is supposed
to have been committed.
About o'clock this morning James
Harris of Prince Georges county
Md, sneaked into the dressing room at
the Stockholm beer hall and stole a lot
of clothes belonging to performers, and

A MINE FIRE.
Three Hundred Men Were Thrown Out

Three Hundred Men We're Thrown Out
of Employment.
Great Falls, July Three hundred
men have been thrown out of employ
ment at Lethbridge by fire which oc-
CURED in the mines yesterday. 1t is
probably the most serious fire the town
has experienced. Early in the morning
fire was discovered in the fan house,
and before the alarm was given the
flames had communicated with the tim
bers in the shaft, the draft from the
fans spreading the fire rapidly. BY the
time water was turned on the fan
house was gone and the shaft was
burning furiously. Vigorous work soon
put out the blaze. Nothing is known
of the origin of the fire, but it is lik ely
that it caught either from a spark
from the stack or from an overheated
bearing in the fan house. The amount
of loss to the company is not given, but
at least 80 days will be required to re-
pair and replace the fans and build.
and in the meanwhile the miners will
be out of work.
