Special Dispatch to the Bee:
Dillon. Mont, June 27.-Gus Sch
rickengost, one of the criminals who
escaped from the Jail at Butte last
Sunday morning, was recaptured here
this morning at the point of a gun.
Last night stranger made inquiry at
a lodging house for the room of Jim
Jaggers. The clerk thought the
stranger answered. the description of
Schrickengost, sent out by Sheriff
Furey of Silver Bow county, and he
reported his suspicious to the sheriff's
office at Dillon. Under Sheriff Phil
lips was detailed to investigate. Mean
time Schrickengost secured lodging
at the house of D. w. Callahan, who
with the deputy kept close watch
on the inmates room during the night.
Early this morning as Scrickengost
emerged from the house Deputy Phil
lips called upon him to halt, but the
criminal paid no attention to the COM
mand, whereupon the deputy thrust a
gun against his body, repeating the
command, and Schrickengost made no
further resistance. Sheriff Furey was
informed of the capture, but was at
first skeptical as to the identity of
the man, but conversation with Sher-
iff Padley over the telephone left no
doubt that the captured man was
Schrickengost, and the sheriff left at
once for Dillon and is expected to re-
turn tomorrow with his prisoner.
Dave Meiklejohn, deputy United
States marshal at Butte, made the re-
mark the other day that he would not
be surprised if Schrickengost, the man
wanted in Idaho and who went out of
the Jail the other day to chase robins,
would give the authorities additional
trouble.
"I'll tell you," he said, that fellow is
one of the smoothest men in the coun-
try. And you mark my word, he will
get away from the officers before they
get back to Idaho if great care is not
taken. He is a desperately bad man."

walked out of jail after peppering the

Although short time after the
shooting some street talk of lynching
was heard, this soon subsidized.
Meredith had spent the afternoon in
walking about the streets armed with
sawed off" double barreled shotgun
loaded with buckshot, in search of his
man. In order to avert suspicion he
ha wrapped the weapon in large
sheet of butchers paper and tied it
with cord, so that it bore little resem-
blance to an instrument of death. He
found Considine in front of the drug
store shaking hands with friend, Po-

Thrusting the barrel of the gun
over Mefford's shoulder, he discharg-
ed the weapon full in Considine's

Sutton retires all the changes viii he

a subscriber to the state Journal
writes as follows. would you please
explain through the columns Of your
esteemed paper just what socialism is
VIII it benefit the masses? i see that
in an article published in the Philadel-
phia Record the United States labor
commissioner, Carroll D. Wright, says
the economic trend is toward socialism
What does he mean? Are anarchists
ana socialists the same; If not how do
they differ?''
Socialism IS defined by Webster as:
IA theory Of society which advocates
the substitution Of cooperative action
and common ownership for individual
action and ownership"
In other words the socialist believes
that it is the duty Of society to see that
each individual member is properly
protected and provided for and that at
the same time he shall contribute his
proper share to the common fund
The postal service and the common
school system are examples Of the
Hocinlistic theory put in practice.
As to whether OF not socialism would
benefit the masses. they should Judge
for themselves from past experience
and a close and impartial study Of the
question
Perhaps what Mr. Wright referred TO
was the tendency toward municipal
ownership of public utilities in cities
and the growing favor in which gov
eminent ownership Of telegraph is be-
ing held
The last question propounded by our
subscriber was answered in the State
journal only few days ago Socialism
