GIVES OFFICER THE SLIP.
Alleged Carbon County Murderer Es-
capes From Sleeping Guard.

Andrew Belanc, the mar arrestediat.
Bridger last Friday on the charge Of
having murdered Davis David, at last
accounts was wandering about the
country, presumably with both hands
and feet manacled, although of this
there is n certainty.
The inquest into the death of David
was concluded at a late hour last
Saturday night and the jury held
Belanc responsible for the crime. Ow-
ing to the lateness of the hour it was
decided not to take the prisoner to
Red Lodge, the county seat of Car
bon county, until Sunday morning.
Bridger being without any kind of a
lookup, the deputy sheriff who had
Belanc in charge concluded to keep
him under guard in a saloon until it
| should be time to take him to Red
Lodge. Handouts were placed on
Belanc's wrists and shackles on his
ankles, it is claimed, and several per-
sons volunteered to remain with the
officer until morning. Thinking the
man could not escape, the deputy laid
on the floor in front Of the door and
went to sleep, the others remaining on
guard.
Along about 4 o'clock Sunday morn
ing the guards grew weary with their
s
vigils and following the example of the
deputy also went to sleep. "Coco,"
as the prisoner is known, decided the
opportunity had arrived for him to
leave and he did so, not disturbing the
slumbers of any N in his egress. AZ
ter he had been gone for an hour or
more some n in the room happen
ed to wake up and discovered that the
prisoner vas missing. OF course, the
alarm was given and a posse hastily
organized and began search for the
man, but up to yesterday afternoon
no trace of him had been obtained.
The sheriff of Carbon county has Of
fered a personal reward of 500 for
the recapCure OF the man.
Fugitive is Recaptured.
A telephone message to The Ca
zette from Bridger last night announc-
ed the recapture of Belanc. At 5
o'clock last evening he was discovered
in n of the old workings of the coal
mine, where he had made his way af-
ter getting out of the saloon. The dis
covery was made by Pit Boss Rixon,
who notified Sheriff Potter and the
latter soon had the fellow on the sur
face. He was at once taken to Red
Lodge and if the sheriff can prevent
it will not soon have another oppor-
tunity to get away.

of Bozeman, presiding elder, who will
preach at IL a. m. In the afternoon
at 3 o'clock there will be a Sunday
school rally under the leadership of
w. S.. Bayerd, the new superintendent.
FAT $50 p. NJ, the Epworth league
will meet. An hour later the even
ing preaching service will commence,
and will be conducted by the newly
appointed pastor, the Rev. w. A. Allen.
Music at all these services will be
rendered by a choir under the direc-
ton of Mrs. M. H. Tompkins.
The improvements to the church
were commenced last summer under
the pastorate of the Rev. Geo. c. Stull,
now a chaplain in the regular army in
the Philippines. At that time it was
thought they would be completed in
side of 60 days, but one delay after
another occurred to prolong the work
to the present time. Now, that every
thing is in readiness for services to
resume the Methodists and their
friends will hail the day with gladness.
The improvements shave cost some
thing like $4,000, a portion of which
was raised by private subscription by
Mr.. Stull during his pastorate. The
church presents a very pretty appear
ance. 1t is finished in the interior
in oak style with the ceiling and walls
tinted. The new organ has been plac-
ed on the south side of the old por-
ton and to the front of this is the
choir platform with room for about Is
persons. To the right is the pulpit
platform. The new basement has
been fitted up for a prayer meeting
room, as well as a place in which to
give suppers, etc.
Next Sunday, December s, will be
held the dedicatory services, at which
time Bishop J. N. FITZGERALD, D.. D.,
LII. D., of st. Louis, will be present
and preach at both services. The
bishops presence will no doubt be
greeted by a large congregation, not
only Of the members, but the friends
of the church as we'll.

served with him at Fort Lawton, near

The officers found that he was at Utica
on the day and at the very hour Of
the robbery. 1t now turns out that
the alleged confession made by Col
Inns, and which resulted in his arrest,
was simply a fabric of his mind, evolv-
ed while he was on a protracted
