A DUMMY HIGHWAYMAN.
IL cave Constable Llzzari Chance to
Show His Workmanship.

(, ~ 1aVe y Unstable I;tZZari II Chance to
show His craftsmanship.
some one perpetrated big joke on
constable Joe Lazzari of Meaderville
night before last, and his friends have
mad lot of fun with him about it, but
1t Is not so much Of Joke on the of
lcer after all, for it gave him an oppor
tunlty TO demonstrate that the high
Waymen he comes across is not likely to
get off with very whole skin.
Peter Denny and wife, who live in the
vicinity of the Matte mine, went to
Meaderville and when they started
home they had gotten only a short dis
lance out of town when they saw what
they took to be highwayman waiting
to Waylay them in the road. AS they
did not care to take chances, Denny
hid to keep an eye on the bandit while
his wife went back to town for help.
She rushed into Bertoglio & Gross
store and told her story Constable
Lazzaro happened to be in the store
ana he at once started out Finding
Denny, the latter pointed out the hold
up, and Constable Lazzari walked
boldly up and commanded the highway
man to put up his dukes" and to make
no resistance for he was an officer
There was no response and again the
command Il tell you I'm an officer and
N shoot unless you put up your
hands. Again no compliance, and the
o1ilcer fired. Three times he pulled the
trigger and each time the bullet buried
itself in the robbers anatomy. He
knew 1t for he could plainly hear the
dull thud' yet the man stood immov-
able. That seemed funny to say the
least and going nearer the officer found
the highWayman to be dummy some
one had doubtless rugged up for his
especial benefit.
Not to be completely outdone
in the josh, Officer Lazarri shouldered
the dummy and marched back to
the grocery store and dumped
1t on the floor, exclaiming as
tr1umphantly as though it had been a
real highwayman. Here. gentlemen
Is your highwayman." Then all hands
had a drink

MONTANA'S BOOM.
The State Attracting Favorable Attention
in the East

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
me time was when Montana was
regarded as hopeful mining territory.
Changes came and Montana mines"
was byWord to express anything that
was played out and no good The
state received a black eye through sew
erai of its commercial and public trans
actions and it had gradually come to
be looked on as deserted mining
camp and rotten political borough
The cloud is lifting, however, and the
regeneration of the state is slowly but
surely occurring.
Through intelligently directed plans
for irrigation immense tracts of valley
and bottom land which have hitherto
been regarded is unavailable for agr-
cultural purposes on account of the
arid quality of the soil have been made
productive. The same methods which
enabled the Mormons to make Utah
land of milk and honey have been
invoked to save millions of acres of
Montana. Farms and pasturage COW
err vast areas which formerly We're dry
plains; planters and cattlemen are
reaping the reward of their intelligent
efforts. - :sbl a."
The result of this is that farmers in
the East are turning toward Montana
more and more each year. The sales of
public and railroad lands for agricul-
aiiN S''Nh Pull oseS last year IN
that state amount to more than a mill
lion acres, mostly to new settlers, who
are bringing money, machinery and
stock into the state. 1t is, moreover,
to large extent a migration of Amer
leans, for the percentage of foreign
buyers is very small. A good symp-
tom is that the land is passing from
the hands of corporation like the
Northern Pacific into the hands of in
dividual farmers and grazers.
Nor have the newcomers remained
satisfied with things as they have
found them. Communities are organic
ing new irrigation and canal companies
all the time and the best engineering
talent is being used to direct these
affairs with the greatest economy. This
means an additional acreage of arabic
land and the juvenation of Montana
through an agricultural impulse.

STILL NO CLUE.
No Light Shed On the Mystery of the
Ouintal Murder


There We're no developments yester-
day, at least that were made public in
the search for the murderer or murder
ers of George Quintal, and the mystery
as to how the murdered blacksmith
came to be in the locality west of Mis-
soula gulch, who could have committed
the revolving crime, and for what pur-
pose deepens as each day goes by and
nothing is learned. Once more it begins
to look as though a shocking murder
will go UNPUBLISHED. During yesterday,
James Flaherty teamster at the Big
Hole dam, visited the undertaker's and
added further testimony in the way of
identifying the body as that of the
teamster. Flaherty stated that Quintal
told him he owned real estate at Provo,
Utah. and that he was an old soldier
and he drew a pension. The latter state
ment can scarcely have been true, as
Quintal was not old enough to have
served in the war

sons had charge of the ceremonies. and.
according to custom, Oil, wine and corn
were thrown on the stone. The re-

blems of peace. plenty and love, and
some of the corn found Judgment in
the niche cut out to receive the tradi-
tional box containing papers, etc. Ow-
ing to some unforeseen obstacle the ma
sorry work was stopped for the time
and the box was not placed in the re-
ceptacle and is not there yet. The wind
and transforms of the past two weeks
have caused to be deposited in the niche
a quantity of dirt and water. All of
which was apparently just what the
corn wanted, for it was noticed the
other day that one of the grains of corn
had sprouted out and was gradually re-
solving itself into solid, healthy basis
for a majestic corn stalk. Still they
say vegetation won't thrive in Butte.
This demonstrates the correctness of
the assertion that has been made that
all that is required to make a garden
in Butte is proper care and cultivation
and less smoke.
