P. DEMPSEY HAS FADED AWAY
The Willy Peter Nal Also Be Heading
for the Hole-in- the Wali-Absent
Fifteen DAVIS,

Fifteen days have elapsed since Peter
Dempsey, Patrick Healey and Gus
Schrickengost jumped their board at the
county Jail, but with the exception of the
latter the jumpers have not been located.
Dempsey has been seen in sixteen dis
tirct places at one time. Those who
saw him are positive Of the identifica-
ton because they talked to him and he
talked back again and ratified the bunch
Of keys taken from the jailer. A few
of those who have seen Dempsey describe
HIM as wearing a frightened look. while
others say his face was encaSed in a
smile as broad and generous as the
bosom of a Dakota wheat field and a
tell them that-you- saw-me air. Those
who saw him up north are of the opinion
that he is heading for the north pole,
which he expects to reach about Christ
mas. The western men and women who
sighted him had no idea where he was
going, but those of the southwest
thought that the Great Northern train
robbers travelling south, Pat Grove
travelling in northwestern direction and
Dempsey going southeast would bump
into each other in the foot hills of the
Big Horn mountains, give each other the
high sign of the ancient order of Looloos
and enter the pearly gates of the Hole
in the Wall together.

REAL OLD-FASHIONED FOURTH
Bozeman Residents Make the Eagle
Scream Until the Welkin Rang
Very Distinctly

Yes, I've no doubt you had a pretty
good celebration here in Butte, judging
from the decorations still up, and from
what has been said in the papers," said
gentleman from Bozeman at the Butte
hotel this morning. But you couldn't
hold a candle to Bozenan. in interest or
!tn the real good time offered to the peo-
pie.
1T may sound somewh at egotstical,
but it is really so. A city can't ever turn
loose and celebrate like a smaller place.
I'm the towns, everybody takes hold. with
out waiting for the other fellow who gen.
orally fails at the last minute. Perhaps
patriotism is just as strong in the city,
but the people are bias and jaded with
surfeit of attractions of every kind
Nothing would surprise or interest them;
not even Noahs ark riding down the
street on a bicycle, or a woolly camel
chasing lion pel1-mell across lots, with
an occasional squirt at flying. But in
smaller places, where there isn't SO
much to see, and the people have to make
their own attractions, why, there is
where the Fourth of July is at its best.
It's the old fashioned country fair, the
pumpkin show Of despised memory in
1.-THE recollection Of the snobocratic dwell
err in the city; only it is a day when a
fellow can go to the limit in spread Gag
leism, and in amusing himself in what
ever way he pleases. Here your pleas
ures are stereotyped, and one ready
made; you don't even know how to make
something to enjoy on your own hook.
Perhaps w don't like that, but I'm going
home before your paper comes out, and
/ m not soming back, so I'm not afraid to
say it.
But to return to Bozeman. Most
places would be satisfied with one day Of
celebration, while some never even
looked at the calendar, to see what the
day stood for. But not so at the Gala
tin valley metropolis They held three
days session of Independence day; reg
ailar three-ringed circus Of fun and frolic,
homemade oratory and good times for
everybody, balloon ascensions, bicycle
last day was the best of ALL and the larg-
est attendance. You can't discount
Bozeman when it comes to celebrations
even if we don't have a saucer track or
h street fair.
1.-The races We're held on the last day,
the 5th, when the people thronged the
race track and other attractions as If
they had just found out how good
thing the Fourth really was, even if it
was a day after its close. There was
some harness racing that compares very
favorably with the best you have had
here in Butte, and it was on small
track where you could see the whole
thing. The people went wild over the
speedy horses. and then went down town
Ito talk it over and see the sights. Yes,
we had a celebration that will be men,
prable for many years to come. When
