while a number of the residents OF
the town were at the show Wednesday
night, h, 90 burglars took advantage OF
their absence from home and went
Through at least half a dozen houses.
As general thing but little booty was
secured but in the Staudaher and Null
aney houses they made good haul. the
latter house particularly being thor
oughly ransacked and about 500 worth
yt silverware taken. At the Staudaher
mouse Will Staudaher lost fine gum
and quite lot of silverware was taken.
Other houses visited We're the Tattersall
and Cunnard homes, but nothing IS
missed from these houses. Yesterday
Constable Staudaher and Undersheriff
Ihilips arrested six hobos. which they
found in camp near the stockyards
n a cache near by was found a consid-
era bic portion of the stolen property,
part OF which was identified today, the
most valuable piece being silver water
set, which was taken from the Stauda-
her home. Thre is a pretty good case
AGAINST at least one of the men, Richard
Lriscoll. He is hobo tailor, and on
Wednesday he worked for Lea, the
tailor. When he quit that night he stole
a pair of clipping shears and these We're
goods. The names given by the gang
ere John O'Brien, George Ambrose, Ray
Furguson, John Mayher, Richard and
Id Driscoll. They will be given hear
ing before Justice Hirschman next Mon
day afternoon.
Quite serious cutting ARRAY occurred
in Dillon Thursday night a little after
midnight. John Mack and John Shan
non did some work together, and Mack
drew the money and refused to divide
with the old gentleman, who was his
PARTNER. He tanked up considera BILE,
and because Shannon insisted that he
should receive his share of the money,
Mack broke a club over his head. A
third party named John Shepherd in
terferred and quite a merry three-cor-
1ered row ensued. During the fracas
Shepherd was cut and the artery in his
left wrist completely severed. He came
near bleeding to death before assistance
was secured and the flow of blood
checked. Marshal Stone arrived on the
scene of the fight just in the nick of
time. AS Shepherd. having run for as
sistance, left the old man at the mercy
of Mack, who was beating him when
the officer arrived. The matter will be
SVEN an airing in Justice Hirschmans
court Monday.
A. P. Balou and w. c. and A. C. Heinz
buecker We're in town from Chicago last
week looking after the interests of the
Montana Copper and Gold Mining COM
pany. a corporation which is developing
the Manser mines on Stone creek. The
gentlemen left for Butte Wednesday
night for the purpose of buying steam
hoist and other machinery need at the
mine. A double compartment shaft is
row down to depth of 200 feet, and
it is the intention of the company to
sink 300 feet deeper as fast as it is pos
sible to do so after the new machinery
is installed.
One of the prettiest events that has
taken place in Dillon for long time
was the musicale at the Normal on Tues
day evening. given under the auspices
of the members of the faculty by Pro-
fessor Currier of the Bozeman college,
assisted by home talent, including the
Dillon orchestra. The hall was crowded
| to it's utmost capacity by the audience
