YOUNG MAN CONE WRONG.
An Empioye of G. NJ. Stafford Skips With
a Bicycle and the Contents
Of the TIL.

William Barton, a young man for
some time past employed by G.. M.
Stafford in his harness and saddlery
business, left Sunday afternoon with
a bicycle belonging to his employer,
valued at $45, and the contents OF
the till. $30.57. Mr.. Stafford had
seen the young man ride out of town
Sunday but thought that he was
!, out for a pleasure spin. Not until
the following morning vas he sure
larceny had been committed and the
officers were promptly notified.
From Ubet II was learned that a
rider had passed there late at night
and as Barton had friends In Billings
ii was surmised he had gone that
way. Sheriff Shaw telegraphed the
officers at Billings. White Sulphur
Springs, Big Timber and also at
Great Falls. Late in the day a re-
port came from Deerfield that Bar
ton had passed there about 6 p. m.
going towards Benton. Sheriff
CIary OF Choteau county was ad Used
and in the evening replied that Bar
ton had taken the eastbound train
j, at Havre that morning. Az that
train passes Havre at 7:30 a. m. the
young Nan must have done some
very fair speeding to make connec-
tions. He originally came from Min
neapolis and it is surmlsed he has
gone home.
LATER-Since the above was put in
type we learn that Barton rode to
Campbell's. on the Benton road, ar
irving there late Sunday night, and
hired Campbell to take him to Ben
ton, saying that his uncle was very
i'll In Minneapolis and that he was
anxious to catch the train east Mon
day morning, but was unable to ride
through. Campbell delivered him at
\, the depot and r ceived SIS therefor.
From information received Tues
day Mr.. Stafford has reaso to be-
lieve that the young mans name is
Arthur II. Norris, instead OF William
Barton, and that he has been In
trouble before.
Sunday morning he borrowed
from several friends in town and un-
doubtedly was provided with ample
funds. He leaves F. w. Finch an I'M
paid bill Of about $50.
Notwithstanding the thief had
already started east when he was
first located 1t would seem that the
officers might have secured his ar
rest at some eastern point had prompt
and proper action Deen taken.

of the candle representing the witnesses
soul and the fate of the cock symbolizlng
the fate of a perjurer.
In certain parts of India tigers and
lizards skins take the place of the Bible
of Christian countries, and the penalty
of breaking the oath is that in one case
the witness will become the prey OF a
tiger, and in the other that his body Will
be covered with scales like a lizard.
One of the most terrible of European
oaths is that administered in Norwegian
courts of law. The prelude to the oath
proper is a long homily on sanctity of the
oath and the terrible consequences of not
keeping it. Part of this lengthy sermon
takes this form:
IF you swear a false oath the goodness
and mercy of Goo will not avail you, but
you will be punished %eternally in hell as
a perverse and hardened sinner. If you
swear falsely, all your possessions will be
cursed; your land and meadows, SO that
they will yield you no fruit; your cattle
and sheep will be barren, and all that
you enjoy in this world will become a
curse to yOu.'
When the witness is duly crushed by
the sense of his fearful responsibility, the
oath is administered, while he holds aloft
his thumb and fore and middle fingers,
as an emblem Of the Trinity.
1t is a little curious that the express
sion, the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the TRUTH in very slightly
varied forms, Guns through almost all
, the oaths administered in European
courts.
In an Italian court the witness, with his
right hand resting OF an open Bible, de-
clares, Il will swear to tell the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth
The Mohammedan takes the oath with
forehead reverently resting on the open
Koran. He takes his Bible in his
hands, and STOPPING low, as if in the pres
ence of a higher power, slowly bows his
head until it touches the book, which to
him is inspired. In the reverence of his
acts and the answering loyalty to an
oath many Europeans have much to learn
from a follower of Mohammed.
In certain parts Of Spain the witness,
when taking an oath, crosses the thum b
of one han over the forefinger of the
other. and kissing this symbolic, if print
tive, cross, says, by this cross, I swear
to tell the truth"
In the more usual form Of administer
ing the oath in Spain, the witness
kneels solemnly before the Bible and
places his right hand reverently upon it.
The Judge then asks him, will you
swear, in the name of God and his holy
Book, to speak the truth in answer tc
all questions that may be asked you?'
The witness answers, Il swear The
judge then concludes, eff you do this
God will reward you; but if you fai
He will require an account of you.'
An Austrian takes his oath in front OF
a c%rucifix, thanked by lighted candles
With appraised light hand he says 81
swear by the all powerful and all wise
God that I will speak the whole and
clean truth, and nothing but the truth, il
answer to any questions that may be ask

FATHER BANDlNI DEAD.

Spokane Review: Rev. Joseph Bandin1,
S, J., who died at the Sacred Heart hos
pital on Friday evening, was buried from
ST. Aloysius church at 8 o'clock yester-
day morning. The solemn office of the
dead preceded the mass, which was cele-
brated by Rev. Father Van Corp.
The deceased was born in Piedmont,
ON July 26, 1887, and entered the So
ciety of Jesus on September II, 1906. Hav-
ing volunteered forsthe Rocky mountain
mission among the Indians, he came ITO
the scene of his labors for over so ear
in 1867, by way Of Panama, San Francisco
and Walla Walla, passing Spokane that
year on his way to the Colvllle mission.
The father ended his life in America as
he had begun it-by1an act of generous
self-sacrifice. Being summoned an a DIS
tant sick call In the. midst of his labors
last fall among the Indians of the Black
foot country during an intense cold spell,
he set out without moments hesitation
The hardships of the trip proved toe
much for him, and on his return he was
/ brought to Spokane in a helpless condi-
ton. He fingered in the Sacred Hear,
hospital for two months in great suffer-
ing
Father Bandini spoke the Kalispell Ian
guage perhaps better than any mission
airy in America. He labored with others
in the production of the grammar, die
tionary and other books in that tongue.
His friends in Montana especially, botf
Indian and white, will deeply mourn his
loss. He lies buried in the little grave
yard at st. Michael's mission, near HILL
yard.

CURIOUS OATHS.

There is more than a touch Of The gro
tesque, as well as of the solemn, in the
models of administering oaths in certain
countries. When a Chinaman swears to
tell the truth he kneels down and a china
saucer is given to him. This he proceeds
to break to pieces, and the following oath
is then administered: You shall tell the
truth and the whole truth. The saucer
is cracked, and if you do not tell the truth
your soul will be cracked like the saucer"
Other symbolic variations of the Chin
csc oath are the extinguishing Of a can
die or cutting off a cocks head, the light

IN POLICE COURT.
OSWALD'S BEATTY MARRED-MIN-
ING STOCK CAUSED TROUBLE.

Mrs. Michael Oswald created a scene in
Judge Ferrell's court this morning. Her
husband, who is an Austrian, was doing
the town last night, and in the course Of
the evening got badly done himself.
He was found on Arizona street by Officer
Harvey, and was a most Woe-begone
looking individual when taken to Jail.
His face was covered with blood from a
nasty cut near his mouth. He had been
kicked by some one, he said. In police
court this morning he would not have
taken a prize in a beauty contest. one
eye was blacked and swollen, the cut on
his lip extended his mouth to negro min
strel proportions, and his nose was swollen
to a size that would have caused Cyrano
de Bergerac joy, but when Mrs. Oswald
saw him she rushed up to him, throw
her arms around his neck, kissed him sew
eral times with reports that sounded not
unlike the remova of a cows foot from
mud, then drew away from him, surveyed
him critically, and exclaimed tearfully:
ooh, they have spoiled my husbands
beautiful facet"
Oswald was fined $40.
