Z. II. IalcOCC, preSlQenL OF the Fark

visitor in the city, yesterday. He
creditors of Buck Bros, bankrupts.
According to the reports from the
isolation hospital the two patients are
getting along fairly well, although the
woman is said to be not quite SO well
as the man. No serious results are
apprehended, though.
The storm which threatened this
locality for several days has evident
ly become sidetracked, as the weather
has again taken a reef in it's hold on
summer and for the past day or two
it has required but a little stretch Of
the imagination to picture ones self
in some tropical land.
Miss Jennie Matheson, sister of
Judge Matheson, arrived from Helena
last night on a visit and will spend
several weeks with relatives before
her return to the capital. Miss Mathe-
son formerly resided in this city, but
for several years past has been max
ing her home at Helena.
DR.. Ellen J. Fifefeld of Tacoma,
supreme medical examiner Of the Lady
Macabees, visited Yellowstone hive,
yesterday. Park City hive was we'll
represented. After an interesting talk
the ladies adjourned to meet later in
the evening at Mrs. Kain's where a
generally good time was had and re-
freshments were served.
Professionalism on the north side Of
Montana avenue, between Twenty
seventh and Twenty-eighth streets, is
not exactly a pleasure just now, ow-
ing to the torn up condition Of the
sidewalk, as Ben Hager and his crew
have taken possession AMI arc doing
the Hun act. The fact, however, that
it is only preliminary to the construc-
ton of a cement walk, those who<fnd
themselves temporarily discomnoded
have no fault to find.
The first of the long distadce instru-
ments to be put in the City by the
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone COM
pany was installed in TIE Grand hotel,
yesterday. AS Isoon/as the proper
connections had beef completed Land
lord Bennington trjkd the lines capacity
as a sound caEyer and successfully
carried on a conversation in which
the second party had his ear to the
receiver at Spokane. The line was
found to work perfectly and no more
difficulty was experienced than if the
connection had been made with some
subscriber in the adjoining block.
Former Sheriff Dunn or Carbon
county is doubtful whether the mar
under arrest at st. Louis AID SAID to
be Henry Longabaugh is really tina;
notorious outlaw. From the descrip.
tons which have been published Of
the prisoner Mr.. Dunn thinks MIN tC
be Dutch" Cassidy, a partner of Long
abaugh and the Curry boys. AS Mr.
Dunn arrested Longabaugh a few years
ago and knows him personally and
also Cassidy, It is probable that after
all the authorities have not the mar
they think, but even if such should
prove to be the case, they have one
equally as dangerous and fully as bad
While former Shelf Dunn of Carbon
county thinks that the alleged road
agent under arrest at st. Louis is moi
the notorious Longabaugh, w. D
Smith, the we'll known stock inspector
who some years ago arrested thai
individual, declares him to be the
man. 1t is possible that Mr.. Dunn
may be mistaken, as he bases his as
sumption on the descriptions OF the
prisoner which have been sent ou1
from St. Louis, while Mr.. Smith makes
his statement on the strength OF {
picture he has received of the man
J. B.. Hawkins, former sheriff of Gus
Ter county, also says it is Tonga
baugh. Mr.. Hawkins assisted Mr.
Smith in %arresting the fellow.
Judging from the number OF re
versals ordered by the supreme cour
recently the district courts of Butte
and Helena will find not a little bust
ness in rehearing trials of fellows
who have been sentenced by them t.
terms in the penitentiary for various
crimes. The latest decision of thi'
kind grants a new trial to the mai
Foster, who was sentenced to the pen
itentiary for being n of the gam
of pickpockets that followed in tn
wake of President Roosevelt when h
visited Montana last fall. Foster wa
