ed he was warned by Mr. Ike AuIt that
he better get himself into the office as
there was trouble and possibility of a
general strike. Mr.. Fulton went to the
office, where were gathered the whole
force. EX-Sheriff Ault at once proceeded
TO unroll his gifted vocabulary and at
once set in to deliver a gilt-edged roast.
Heavy silence like a congressman's con-
science, followed. Mr. AuIt calmly step
ped out from behind the desk and with
the grave decorum which the situation
demanded handed Mr.. Fulton a little
white box. Dazed and in a mechanical
sort Of stupidity, he opened it, and there
was an elegant gold ring of the symbol
ical insignia of the Order of Scottish Rite
Masonry, emblazoned with a diamond
setting and of the richest beauty, with
the double-headed eagle and the figures
'S2, indicating the degree of Master of
the Royal Secret, engraved on either
side. Slowly the real situation dawned
on Fulton. Then John Davis, ex-prose-
cutting attorney, stepped to the front and
gave a very neat talk directed to both
Mr. Fulton and the clerks, making spe-
ciaI reference to the very pleasant rela-
tons existing between employer and en-
ploye. He was followed by Charlie Big
Glow, who was called upon to speak in
behalf of the clerks, Of whom he was
once one, while the store was under the
style of Cole & Jones, and later, c. NJ.

Mr.. Fulton expressed very feelingly his
sense Of gratitude and invited all the
boys to come and take dinner with him.

MUSIC AND ORA MA,
GOOD SHOW.

Another packed house greeted the Mo-
rey Stock company at the Crawford the
alter last night to see the performance of
very strong play entitled "a Noble
Revenge" One of the pleasing features
of the performances by this company
is the beautiful scenery and stage acces-
series that they carry and use in every
play, and each play has special scenery.
The scenery is the finest that has ever
been shown by a repertoire company in
this city. The vision scene in the third
act was really fine. Another feature is
the music between acts furnished by the
musical director, Mr.. E. B. Thomas, who
is an excellent performer and entertains
the audience with delightful selections.
Mr.. George Butler deserves credit for his
strong work as Lieutenant Alden. Mr..
Clarence Benefits dying scene was very
touching and both he and Miss Morey
are entitled 10 the highest praise for their
work. The support was adequate. To-
night Monte Cristo" is the bill.

Parading Their Crime of ~
Through, the Press.
FLEECED BANK OF ENGLAND
And Served Twenty Years For 1t
Inlay Locate in the
Great West.

The anomaly of two men travelling
their crime of q years ago through the
press was presented today when George
Bidwell, who with his brother gained
some notoriety in 1872 by a transaction
with the Bank of England called at the
Inter Mountain office with a prepared in
terview with himself which he desired to
have published. Just what the object of
the Bidwell's is in advertising themselves
car only be surmised. 1t is possibly that
desire for cheap notoriety inherent in men
of weak natures. Possibly it ma be an
advertising dodge on the part of the
Pinkerton detective agency which effect
ed their capture.
The ready-made interviews with George
and Austin Bidwell who are now visit
ing Butte have appeared in many Of the
daily papers, and as a result bankers in
western cities have held both hands on
their pocket books. The interviews de-
tail the fact that the Bidwells secured
S., 0O0, 900 from the mighty bank of Eng
land on worthless securities. They left
England with their plumber. but were
captured in America by the astute Pink
ertons, eturned to England and sentence
ed to Imprisonment for life, but were re-
leased at the expiration of 20 years and
returned home to begin life anew.
The Bidwells state that they will pos
sibly engage in mining operations around
Butte, out asked as to what properties
they had acquired, stated that they had
secured none yet, but We're doing some
prospecting around Helena.
