Express companies at st. Paul,

swindle that has mystified them for
more than a year and removes sus-

Robert Rantoul Of st. Paul, divis-

array of shooting up the town" and fighting
that reminded one of Kentucky. Jew Jake"
was once barricaded in his store for a week and
would permit no one to pass, lest his store be
rushed" Just before Loney beat Parker.
Johnny Curry, who had taken John Daniothy IS
wife, also claimed his ranch on Rock Creek,
which had been bought by James Winters, and
attempted to force his claim at the point of n
six shooter. Winters however. had ready
shot gun and good eye, and Johnny fell of
his horse dead. Since then Loney. who was
the quietest Of the lot, has not been promi-
nently before the public.
After the killing Of Pike Landusky. Harvey
Curry disappeared. and ii was reported that he
had gone to Chile. This last expose, however
would seem TO indicate that he had simply
joined the Hole in the Wall gang and was
one of the six who robbed the train and for
whom the companies and the pos,office de-
partment were willing to pay $4,000. II this
is the case. he might have easily sent for Loney
and Bob to join him in any desperate enter
prise which promised profit. II is said that
early last summer these two were gone for a
month from their usual haunts in the Little
Rockies, but nothing was thought of it at the
time. Owing to the large denominations of
the bills secured in the robbery. they would
have some difficulty in passing them and EVIL
IDENTIFY tried to do 1t gradually. Practically
none of the money has ever been recovered
and there is every probability that the bandits
are embarrassed by large wads Of the ''long
green" they dare not try to dispose of. II they
stay away from Choteau county the taxpayers
will have no cause for regret, tho they were
picturesque ruiiians. Jim Thornhill, a close
friend Of Harvey and Johnny Curry, is still a
resident of the Little Rockies, where he is re-
spected by all who know him. His influence
over them is believed to have been for good as
long as they lived In the county

Stiff. He was to have talked to Stiff on the
train going to Missoula. but the proposition
was withdrawn before the opportunity was
presented. On cross-examination Mr.. Cowan
said no promises had ever been made to him
for making his revelation In this case.

that Charley Clark has asked him TO see Senator

DR.. Temple, archbishop of st. Paul's
London, and the primate of
all England, is frequently giving sur
prfses Ito his friends who are not IA
IEliar with his varied experiences in
life. 1t is related that few years ago
a country rector, whom his grace was
vtsltfng, took him for a walk around
the parish. The worthy pastor was
determined to keep the conversation
from getting too deep, so he confined
1t TO things connected with the parish.
During their walk together they
passed a man Lowing and the arch
bishop stopped ITO !ook ON. There are
diversites of gifts" said the rector,
pointing with his stick to the man at
the pillow. Now, your grace, that poor
fellow is doing sonnet thing that you
and l could not do in optte of our
learning" 'Umph!" N sttered the
archbishop, who lis IA man of few
words.
His companion waxed eloquent on
the subject of plowing. DIR. Temple
remained silent until the man came to
the top of the furrow; then he climbed
over the gate. A word to the farm
laborer, and the next moment the pre-
late of all England wals guiding the
plow down that Fl d with the skin OF
the practiced hand and, what was
more, he accomplished a difficult turn
ing at the end of the row-never an
easy matter-in way that excited
the outspollen admiration of the usu-
ally untlemonstrative Hodge. Il had
to learn that in the school of necS-
sity" remarked the archbishop qui-
city, as he walked home with the
dumbfounded rector.

How Not to Get Sick.

Never lean with your back upon
anything that is cold.
Never take warm drinks and then
Immediately go out in the cold.
Keep the back, especially between
the shoulder blades, well covered;
also the chest we'll protected. In sleep
ing in cold room establish the habit
of breathing through the nose, and
never with the open mouth.
Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet.
These are sensible Suggestions of
a WRITER of table talk, who then goes
on with little hygienic advice:
Never omit regular bathing, for un-
less the skin is in active condition the
cold will close the pores and favor
congestion or other diseases.
After exercise of'any kind never ride
i'm an open carriage or near the win
dow of train for a moment; 1T is
dangerous to health and even life.
When hoarse, speak as little as pos
6ible until the hoarseness is recovered
from, else the voice may be perma-
nently lost or difficulties of the throat
be produced.
Merely warm the back by the fire,
and never continue keeping the back
exposed to heat after it has become
comfortably warm. To do otherwise
ds debilita'jing.
When going from warm at1nos-
phere into a cooler onle, keep the
mouth closed so that the air may be
warmed by it's passage through the
nose ere it reaches the lungs.
