OF the white men, including the new
COOK, have sweethearts among the In
dian women, and matters progress
smoothly.
TO reach the place a posse will have
TO cross miles of desert. The only
water within Il radius of sixty miles is
at the springs of the outlaws.
Voliquet, after staying two years in
the camp, persuaded them to let him
go on IA visit to his old mother i'm France.
They paid him his wages promptly,
and with Il threat that his life would
be the penalty if he ever divulged the
hiding place of the gang, sent him to
the station.
The cook kept his word never to talk
about the life there until il short time
ago, when. upon first hearing of the
train robbery, he fell the victim to in
ducements offered by a detective, cot
drunk and told the whole story.
1.-The idea of posse of men num-
bering less than 500 trying to capture
those outlaws is MURDER" said a de-
tective who has been at work on the
case. The government will have TO
send regiment or two. The people
IN that part of the country do not re-
gard II as q serious otfense to rob a
corporation, and Il sheriff's posse will
never catch the robbers. The only way
to do is to hunt for the stronghold until
it is found, then demolish it and cxter-
inmate the gang. While one of tive
Curry gang that was living there when
the cook left has been killed, a first
cousin of Cole and Jim Younger has
taken his place. and he is as desperate
as the worst of them. 1t would not do
to grant any quarter to any OF the out
laws when they are met. Kill them
quickly is the only method.

party met Il number of Cree Indians,
who saluted and rode silently by. The
new cook was hardly installed in his
duties before he became aware that he
was having the adventure of his life.
and that his employers would shoot
him without compunction if he attempt
ed to escape. Bill Longabaugh, Lon
ME ana Bob Curry and I. Cherokee
youth. generally known as Dalton,
were the only white men ON the place.
There were Cree Indians. ranging in
number from twenty to forty, about the
four cabins and the four corrals most
of the time. These Indians were all
splendidly mounted and armed, in that
particular differing from the rest of
their tribe, for the Crees are the 1sh-
maels of the plains.
They are nominally wards of the
Canadian government, but their reser-
vation is so bleak and cheerless that
they sneak across the forty-ninth par
allel oftener than they can be taken
back. The men are the most murder
ously inclined and the women the pret-
tiest of the Northwest tribes.
The Indians live in their own tepees
and do their own cooking, although
their supplies are furnished from the
general storehouse.
One feature of the everyday life at
the camp is the practice of rifle and
pistol shooting. The canyon is blind, -

The accuracy with which they shoot

of their aim is wonderful. Every one
about the outlaws place seems to know
that it is the intention to defend it
against any posse that might try to
capture them.
The place is admirably adapted for
that purpose. There is no way of get

CURRY GANGS
STRONGHOLD
Posse Will Invade Their Hiding Place
and Clean Out the Outfit.-
COmradc Betrays Them.

In their efforts to capture the gang
which held up and robbed a Great
Northern train at Malta, Mont, on
July 3, the detectives have learned OF
the existence of an organization that
bids fair to rival the James gang in its
palmiest days, says Il Denver cores
pondent of the St. Louis Post Dis
patch.
Like the famous Mssourians. the
latter-day desperadoes depend upon
the people of the vicinity in which they
operate to help them in avoiding cap
ture.
Rewards aggregating $4,000 have
been offered for this gang and leading
detective agencies have sent men into
the bad lands. Some of them went up
the Milk river valley, where the train
was held up, and others went to Butte
to look for suspects. The only authen-
tic information CLEANED thus far came
to the detectives through the agency Of
Fred Voliquet, 4 cook, and corps of
plainsmcn are arning in Denver to in

Voliquet was a cook for a time at
tine stronghold. He got there by acci-
dent. Having been discharged from 4
hotel in the Bitter Root valley, he un-
dertook to beat his way east, and the
tralnmen TO teach him a lesson, put
him off in the bad lands, forty miles
from Il water tank. 1t was while in
this predicament that he had the for
tune to meet Billy Longabaugh and
another of the gang, who were taking
some stolen horses to their rendezvous.
On learning that Voliquet was a
cook they hired him to work for them.

PLENTY OF ROOM AT THE TOP
Charles Noble Gregory Gives Address on
Making of Lawyers.

Charles Noble Gregory assistant
sity Of Wisconsin, addressed the Civic
section of the College Endowment as
sociation yesterday afternoon on Am
erican Lawyers and their Making"
telling the clubWomen something OF
the technical training that the frater-
nifty must undergo to be Allowed to
practice and defending againat all ira
ducers and critics the honor and glory
of the profession. The ever-increasing
number of lawyers in America Mr..
Gregory attributed to the opportunities
the profession offered for public pref
erment as we'll as pecuniary gains, and
while the bottom Of the ladder was
crowded with struggling under-paid
advocates, there was Still plenty OF
room at the top. But there is clergy
man for every lawyer, and there are
many more physicians and surgeons
than lawyers, despite the official fig
ures of the census which puts the ratio
at one lawyer to every 358 men. In
China there are no lawyers at all, but
the custom OF criminal torture prevails
there in all its horror; and in Russia
there is but one lawyer to every 1000
persons-facts in which Mr. Gregory
found argument going TO show that
where civilization is highest there the
lawyer is in greatest demand. the sup
ply, he felt assured, being enli.eIS !Ggu
lated by the demand. The power OF
the American judiciary, which exceeds
the power of the legislative depart
ment of government and is unique
among the judiciaries of the world, is
another thing that contributes to the
glory of the American bench and bar,
whil2 the single fact that with the ex-
ception of soldiers chosen in times OF
war every American president has
been lawyer, is proof OF the honOrs
that are possitle in the profession. But
because of a this the lawyer has
greater esponsibilities in America
than almost anywhere else, and the
first of his duties. Mr.. Gregory regard
ed as his duty to his fellow men. 1t
was his province to assist in the work
OF reform by using his legal ability
for wise drafting of necessary laws.
and in almost every phase of legisla-
tion for the public good the lawyer is
called upon to play his part.-Milwau-
kee Sentinel.

cause of death ever even received a
nomination. But then Teddy can prob
ably bust precedents AS well as bron-
chos.
Roosevelt is the youngest president
ho ever took the chair, being only 43
Grant was next, having been AZ when
inaugurated. The oldest was w. H..
Harrison at 6S. The average age at
the time OF taking office has been a
tritie over SIS.
The average age of the presidents at
the time OF death has been 90 years
and nearly four months, only eight
months short of the traditional three
score and ten.
There are some interesting points
concerning the Birth and nativity Of
our chief M agistrates. Virginia leads
the states, having been the birthplace
of seven; Ohio comes next with five;
New York and North Carolina each
claim three; Massachusetts has two;
while there is one each to the following
states: New Hampshire, Pennsyl-
vania, Kentucky, Vermont and New
Jersey.
Fourteen of the presidents were of
English ancestry. five Scotch-Irish,
three Scotch, two Dutch and one
Welsh.
The months of their nativity are also
interesting. Two were born in Jan
uary, three in February, four in March,
four in April, none IN May, none in
June, one in July, one in August, none
in September, four in October, four i'm
November and two in December. 1t
will thus be seen that the greater num-
Der of births were in the first two
spring months and the last two fall
months. The five hot months only
have two to their credit.
All the presidents were comparative
ly poor, except Washington and he
would be considered poor in this day.
1t has been said that Cleveland came
out with snug fortune.
There have only been twenty-five
presidents. Several papers have re-
ferred to Mr.. Roosevelt as the twenty
sixth. This is mistake. 1t doubtless
arises through counting Mr.. Cleveland
being counted twice. This is hardly
fair, even though his avoirdupois war
rant it.

Corralling Milestown's Trade.

Gradually but surely Forsyth is cut
ting in on a very lucrative line of trade
that has gone to Miles City for so
many years that the merchants of that
town have come To regard it with a
proprietary interest. The reason Of
the change is attributed to the keen
competition among the storekeepers of
Forsyth which has resulted in more at
tractive prices than is offered by our
neighboring towns. There is il strong
rivalry in nearly every line of trade
here and the merchants have made ex-
ira efforts to induce heavy buyers for
ranch supplies to go out of their way
II necessary, to trade here. These ef-
forts have borne fruit and the immense
territory from which Miles City has
always enjoyed Il big trade is being
cut down and the scccssionists are now
buying in Forsyth. One of the big or
ders recently landed is for supplies for
the winter for St. Xavier mission near

the cntcrprising tirm of II. II. Fletcher

sion people will weigh nine tons and

The neighborly fight that has been
waged at Brandenberg over the school

morning by the decision OF the county
superintendents Of Custer and Rosebud
counties who heard both sides OF the
case and concluded to make no change
in the boundaries Of the district The

counties. There was some diSSatisfac-
ton among those on this side of The
county line and it resnlted in a petit
ton signed by some of the Rose
bud county taxpayers in the district
to divide it into two districts, the coun-
ty line marking the boundaries of The
two. This was followed by Il protest
which was also in regular form and
was more freely signed than the other.
The protestants were satisfied with
the present arrange ement and desired
it's continuation. Miss Higgins and
Mrs. Zook took up the matter this
morning AT the court house. Kit Lamb,

BUTTE SLIDING.

The strange sliding movement Of
the city of Butte, Montana, which
has been noticeable at intervals for
several years, has again manifested
itself by five large cracks in the earth
in different sections of the city. The
largest crevice is crack twelve inches
wide and of considerable length and
depth. There is no caving, but dis
tinct paving OF the earth and the
granite walls can easily be seen in
them. The gas and water companies
have much trouble on account of the
strange movement which frequently
breaks their underground pipes. The
continuance of the strange phenom-
ena is beginning to cause some alarm
among the citizens of Butte.
