TAYLOR SWEARS TO WARRANTS
He Wants the Persons Who Made the
Affidavit in the Minnie Healey
Case Arrested.

Between and 9 o'clock last night the
county attorney issued two complaints
charging ]. w. Waters and E. L. Walt
ers with alleged perjury in connection
with Judge Harney's decision in the Min
Miles Finlen is plaintiff and F. Augustus
a1enze and others are defendants.
The accusation deals with the affidav-
its made by Walters and Waters in sup
port of the plaintiffs motion for a new
trial. The complaints We're sworn to by
one John Taylor. Warrants for the ar
rest of the two persons were issued by
Justice Nelson and turned over to Dep
uty Sheriff Probstel, but the officer failed
to find them.
On just what the complainant basis his
alleged knowledge is not known, as
Judge Harvey and Ada H. Bracket,

affidavits We're made. left the city i'm
meaiately after the last batch was filed

right and left. The arrest of one of the
robbers Is what caused the wholesale
cleanup. In order to escape being
hanged on the spot he confessed the do
ings of Plummer and the balance of the
gang. Plummer suspected that some
thing was wrong and with Buck Slim
son and Ned Ray, two of the gang. was
making arrangements to leave the coun-
try when the vigilantes nailed him in
his cabin at Bannack. Without much
ceremony the regulator escorted the
three men to a scaffold that Plummer
had himself erected year before for the
purpose of hanging John Horan for the
murder Of one Kelley and hanged them
one at time stringing Ray up first.
Stinson and Ray cursed their execution
ers to finish from the time of their ar
rest until the rope choked them to
death, but Plummer showed the white
feather. He begged for his life. He
wanted to see his wife, his sister -in-law
and settle up his business affairs He
fell on his knees and with tears in his
eyes said he was too wicked to die. If
allowed to go he would leave the coun-
try forever. When he saw it was all off
he removed his necltie and tossed it to
young man who had boarded with him,
saying: Keep that to remember me
by" Then turning to the crowd he
said: We've done enough already to
send us to h twice over. Now, men, as
a last favor I will ask you OF give me
good drop"
He received the good drop all right and
died easy.
After Plummer had been buried few
days his body was exhumed and the
right hand cut off as memento and
hand is now in the possession Of some
one in this city. 1t was practically
useless hand before Piummer was
hanged, for in a gun fight with one
Hank Crawford Plummer received a
bullet which shattered the arm and
rendered it good for nothing. The fight
between the two is supposed to have its
origin over the death of Jack Cleve-
land, whom Plummer had shot and
killed.

DAIRY SUPPLY FOR MONTANA
Hot Weather Has Parched Nebraska
and Adjacent States and Cut
OF Supplies,

IF the four states Of Iowa, Illinois,
Nebraska and Kansas have enough
corn to run them through the winter,
said j. L. Strong, representing the
Beatrice Creamery company, of Ne
braska, they will be fortunate in
deed. The corn was practically burned
up. In some places the stalks grew
large, but the ears did not fill. The
crop is good for nothing but fodder.
Wheat is an extra good crop, how
ever, and will help redeem the states.
But the season has been hardest on
eggs. With the thermometer marking
100 dgrees or higher, every day for a
month, there was scarce a merchant
able egg sold during that time. They
spoiled almost as fast as they would 1t
you were to break them against
barn. I have seen hundreds of cases
sold Of which nine out of ten eggs were
found to be worthless when candled,
and the other We're fresh only in name.
The pleasant little fiction of eggs hard
boiled in the sun came so near realiza-
ton in Nebraska this year that the
farmers wives lost nearly all their
pocket money through the failure of
| the eggs to sell well.
1.-THE dairy interests have Jared only
| little better. Not many farmers are
| really prepared to care for their milk
| and butter, and the hot weather dried
| up the pastures besides. In many
places the pastures are brown and sere.
| The hot weather was broken ten days
| ago, and rain and cool nights are now
| the rule, while egg and dairy products
are in their prime. But the mischief
has been done.
| Nebraska ships enormous Quanti-
| ties of gilt edge butter and fancy eggs
| to the western market. The speckled
| hen is the real American eagle down in
| Nebraska, and the brindle COW would
| be good substitute if she could fly.
Whole train loads of butter and eggs
came west as far as Seattle and San
| Francisco.
Butte and other slontana points
| have furnished a good market since
| the opening of the Burlington road to
| Billings. Previous to that time little
Nebraska produce had been shipped to
| Montana.
"A great many of the farmers of the
| four states mentioned. Iowa, Illinois,
! Kansas and Nebraska, have already
sold off all theT surplus stock, both
cattle and hogs. rather than try to Keep
them through the winter on short ra-
| tons. So much stock was rushed into
the markets that prices. which had held
up near the record-breaking point Tor
months. dropped a cent or more all
around But the farmers had no feed
to keep their animals, and did Well to
dispose of them for whatever they could

which John R. Bordeaux is plaintiff and

made his living gambling. Adult two
weeks after their arrival Plummer de-
serted her and she went from bad to
worse, gradually drifting downward unvN
she reached the lower levels of degrada-
ton.
Plummer was recognized among his
associates as desperate man. but there
were many others in that section equally
as desperate, and ready to take life
either for gain or the fun it afforded
them. The result of this condition was
the formation of a gang Of highwaymen
and murderers, with Plummer as chief.
The gang had rendezvous at the foot
of Craig mountain, which lies between
Lewiston and Mount Idaho, 20 miles
south. and anybody that passed the
stronghold either way came very near
being robbed, If not murdered. After
the gang had operated there for
some time it shifted scenes to
Alder gulch. this state, where Plum
mer added more desperate characters
to his string. Being an Intelligent. pol
ished and genial man, he made himself
quite popular in Madison county and
was elected sheriff notwithstanding the
fact that he and his m>n We're robbing
stages and killing passengers at that
Iyefy time.
n It was quite while before the resi-
dents of Alder Gulch learned to GER
tafnty that Plummer was one of the
gang of stage robbers operating in that
vicinity, but when the fact became
known they made short work of Plum

his gang; shooting and hanging them

claimed that Plummer killed four men

the other for himself, but failed to secure
an opportunity to use it before falling
into the hands of the vigilantes. Unlike

not enough room for them. or else Plum

himself, but he was surrounded by one

wAoED INTO TOO DEEP WATER
Little Girl Saved From Drowning by
Manager Wharton at Column
hia Gardens

The little daughter of Mrs. Whitford.
OF Centerville, was one of the visitors
to Columbia Gardens yesterday. Along
with a number OF other children. she
was wading and playing in the water
at the edge of the lake when she
stepped out beyond her depth. and sank
out of sight in ten feet of water. Man
ager J. r. Wharton. of the Street Rail-
way company, happened to be standing
near by watching the children at their
play, when he heard the little girls cry
as she went under. Instantly he sprang
into the water, the girls hat, which re-
NAMED floating on the water, telling
him what had happened and where to
go. Cropping around in the water he
succeeded in clutching the girls hair
and finally brought her to the surface.
The girl was taken to Mr.. Wharton's
house, given good rubbing with
brandy. given some dry clothing and
was soon playing around the grounds
again as though nothing had happened.
Hereafter the children will be forbid
den to play around the lake, which Is
dangerous, but they had enjoyed the
wading so heartily that it had been
allowed until the accident occurred.
