The house of julie Angst was entered
and robbed of a gold open-face watch
and a Achild's bank, containing $3.50, be-
sides other small trinkets. The Inter
Mountain correspondent interviewed
Mrs. Angst last evening ON the subject.
and she said that she had not discovered
that anything else was missing. She
had searched from top to bottom in the
house to- see. Near the residence at the
entrance to the Pattee canyon, are en-
camped a number of Flathead Indians.
and at first it was thought possible that
some of the Indians had entered the
house while the family was in the city,
which might be possible vet, but it is
somewhat doubtful as near the bank sat
a bottle Of wine, and (what seems to be
an impossible custom) an Indian could
never pass anything of that description.
The matter was at once reported to the
sheriff, who began a search in the sec
ond stores Of the city, but without
success as regards the articles for which
he was searching. But he made an
other discovery. Some time in the early
spring, when Mr.. Marshall and family
We're on a trip to Washington and the
east his residence was entered by thieves
and robbed. When the sheriff entered
the store of Mr.. Caleb in search of the
articles stolen from the house of Mr..
Angst, he found that a man had sold

night, and on examination the goods
were found to be the ones stolen from
Mr.. MarshalIs residence. The articles
We're sold by a ma named Nelson, and
when questioned in regard to them said
that three months ago a man by the
name of Moulton who boarded at his
house, had left the goods for his board
bill, also a grip, which he has never re-
deemed, and thinking they would never
be called for, had decided to dispose of
them. Mr.. Marshall was called upon to
identify the goods, which he did. and
took possession of them. Mr.. Nelson
will be held responsible by the store.
But in the meantime the sheriff and his
deputies are leading a merry chase, and
if the robber is anywhere around he is
liable to be I'll down.
Ben Hill arrived in the city yesterday
from a trip to Butte. He intends putting
in a few hard ticks on his ranch to get
in trim so in case the DAILY crowd at
tempts to tackle him in the coming fight
he can hold his own Ben did not get
off on the wrong side this time but in
, stead proceeded to walk Higgins avenue
much to the displeasure of the Standard
representative. Mr.. Hill has made a
number of purchases since his return,
among them a fine house and lot a VAL
liable watch chain that is made of Mon
tana gold and a number of other things.
Dan Dwyer the man tina was arrested
for giving whisky to Indians was sent to
Jail for thirty days OF a charge of being
drunk and disorderly. There seems to be
no inclination to deal with those men in
the United States court, and as the city
officers. have no power to act in this mat
ter other than a charge of this kind, the
prisoner got the benefit of a light sem
tence instead of spending five years at
hard labor as the law demands.
