The burglar managed to get in his
work in our town sometime during Sat-
urday night, and the firm who were hon.
ofed with the visit are a couple of hun
dred dollar out. This morning when the
clerks, who are employed in the store of
+. b. Lamme and company arrived and
opened up for the days business they
noticed that things were not as they
should be, and a hurried earch disclosed
the fact that the store had been entered
and goods to the value of over 5000 car
red OFF. First the parties tried to gain
admission by carving "a panel out of the
back door. The work indicates hat a
Jack knife was used for this purpose.
The headWay made seems to have been
too slow for the midnight prowlers, and
they broke a pane OF glass in the upper
SASH or a WlndoW through which an en-
trance was gained. The size of the OPEN
ing would indicate that no one, unless it
was a very small person could pass
through, put after once being inside it
was any easy matter to push back a
safety catch and open a window by which
confederates might enter without trouble.
II this was apparently done. The arti-
cles carried off so far as has been ascer-
tanned, consist of three pairs of men

leaving the snaps and swivels on the
books. A cash register that stood in the
middle OF the store was carried to the
rear end after a futile attempt had been
made to pick it with a file. The bottom
of the register WAS smashed and tho
money, about $500, was taken while
about $500 in change was allowed to re-
main upon the floor where it had fallen
when the. register was broken. The COM
bination on the safe had been tempered
with, but no effort had been made to
blow it open or in any other way force
an entrance. The work has every APP
pearance of having been carried out by
Inexperienced persons, and the selec-
lions of goods that We're carried off point

column that summer was still with us,
and congratulating Bozeman on it's
pretty appearance SO late in the season.
-Today's developments in the way of heat
and cold, particularly the latter, led the
writer to retract all that was said, if
expressed in such language that would

Petitions are Being circulated looking
to the establishment of an Independent
democratic party in this county. They
have not been before the public long
oelfough to form any opinion as to how
the new movement will be received, ana
whether the movement will be a sue
cess or failure. One thing is certain, and
thht is, the democrats who were turned

people, and as there will be parties
enough. every one who bankers after an

ticket, with some party; then all thai

ones ambition will be a few more votes
than any of the other fellows, and there
you are.
