HAVE flUDED THEIR oURSUFRS
Relieved to Bc Headed FOR the Hole
fn the WALL" Country. the Most
Notorious Refuge OF Criminals In
Ia United states, or Hidden I'm
the Intricacies of the Had Lands.

Anaconda. Mont. July 2. - Special
dispatches from a staff correspondent
of the Anaconda Standard or the
ground are to the effect that there Is
now little hope of the sheriff's posse
o~vertaking the men who held up the
Great Northern express train at Wag-
ner. Mont, last Wednesday. The cor
respondent has just returned from the
section OF country where the posses
were expected to overtake the robbers.
HIS account is hat the pursuers have
be IN outwitted and that the robbers
have outwitted them.
There are now two theories present.
ed. One is that the outlaws, who are
far better mounted than their pur-
suers, have already crossed the Mis-
souri, river and are well on their way
toward the Hole in the Wall" coun-
try in Wyoming. the most notorious
refuge Of criminals in the United
States. The Hole in the wall'' is a
~fastness practically impregnable, and
capable OF being successfully defended
by a few men almost
Against Any Force.
The region between the point In the
Missouri brakes and the Hole in the
Walr' IL very sparsely settled, a few
scattered cattle ranches being the only
evidences of human habitation. Pur-
sui over this wild section. according
to old plainsmen. Is virtually hopeless.
The other theory is that the robbers
have gained the intricacies Of the Bad
Lands along the Missouri river near
the Little Rockies and are there await
ing the time when the chase shall have
grown cold and then seize a favorable
opportunity to ford the river at a
place where crossing could no. be eff
fected by men unfamiliar with the
river and its treacherous w%indings.
Every foot Of ground is an open book
to the robbers, who have used h VI
cinity as their stamping grounds for
years. The officers are still in the field,
but 1t is the opinion Of those who are
on the ground hat the scene of active
pursuit must now be transferred to
the Yellowstone. Custer or Dawson
counties, through one or more of which
the robbers must pass to reach the
Hole In the Wall"

New York, Nov. 17.-Ambassado
Choate was the guest of the Lotus club
recently at a dinner and reception
given in his honor. The keynote Of
the speeches was the friendliness ex.
isting between England and America
and the desirability of its continu-
ance. Mr.. Choate expressed 1t by say.
ing that whatever differences that may
arise between the two countries will
be harmoniously, honorably and am
cably adjusted. He said:
after all that have seen In other
countries 1t seems to me absolutely
clear that the cardinal principle upon
which American institutions rest, the
absolute political equality Of all citi-
zens, with universal suffrage. is the
secret Of American success. Intro
duced by the comprehensive system
o: education which enauies every citi
zen to pursue his calling, 1t puts the
United States upon that plane OF sue
cess which II has reached. 1t passes
my comprehension how any man can
go abroad and not return warmer
lover of the institutions OF his native
land"
Andrew Carnegie followed Mr..
Choate, and referred to the way he
came to be quoted as saying New York
was "one of the best governed cities
in the world" a remark that was
brought In In the recent municipal
campaign. A gentleman reproached
him for giving so much money to 80
foul a city as New York. Mr.. Car
