In response to a telegram from his
foreman, John Woodruff, L.. w. Stacy
came up from Miles City ON the early
morning train to assist in straighten-
ing out a tangle which seems to have
occurred in the cattle unloaded here
from the south during the storm of a
few days ago.
Mr.. Stacy left almost Immediately
after his arrival for the scene OF the
mixup, several miles to the east. It
seems that incident to the storm and
the confusion resulting by so many
cattle being turned out in a limited
space the herds became mixed and
some trouble as to ownership is re-
ported.
Mr.. Stacy is quoted as saying that
Notwithstanding he had twice as many
cattle as Case & Trucott and that he
did not feed them, while the other
firm fed theirs, yet his loss was only
about half sustained by them.
In the message sent to Mr.. Stacy
by the foreman it is said that the
"cross k' lost 500 head, the LU 100
and Case & Trucott 60.

PAUL scHoLkoPH TURNS UP IN

IS SICK and DISTRESSED
Forsyth Pythian Lodge Receives In

From Fridays Daily Gazette.

From Fridays Daily Gazette.
The missing has been found.
Paul Scholkoph, the Northern Pa
ciic conductor, who disappeared as
suddenly and completely as though
the earth had opened and swallowed
him, has been located, alive, but in
distress.
From trainmen who arrived this
morning The Gazette learns that a
message was received yesterday by
the secretary of the Pythian lodge
at Forsyth from the secretary of a
lodge at Des Moines, Ia, making in
quiry as to Schoolgirls standing, he
having made himself known there as
a brother, and adding that he was
sick and in distress. Further than
this the message contained nothing.
Answer was Immediately wired back
that he was entitled to relief and to
care for him, that a letter would fol
low.
The message was the first knowl-
edge any Of the friends of the missing
man had received concerning him
since he so mysteriously and com
pletely disappeared, April O.. While
glad to learn that their fears Of foul
play were groundless and that he is
alive although apparently in unfortun-
ate circumstances, they are at a loss
to explain why he should have left
in the manner he did. They say he
had no occasion to abscond and that
if he had wished to leave he could
have done so without attempting con
cealment.
Another thing they cannot under
stand is how he managed to get away
without being seen by some n that
knew him, as he is known to almost
every trainman running out of the
city on either road. In their opinion
he was taken suddenly with some
mental trouble and while in a dazed
condition left the city, probably walk
ing to some point on the Burlington
and then taking a train. The fact
that he has turned up to the south
makes them feel certain that he went
away over that road.

attempt TO BREAK JAIL
PROMPT ACTION OF OFFICERS
SPOIL PRISONERS PLANS.
Search Of the Cells and Occupants
Bring to Light a Collection Of
Tools Used on Job.

Fort Benton, May 23.-Snyder, Cliff
ton, Baker and the Connine brothers,
held for burglary and horse and cattle
stealing, made a desperate attempt
to break Jail and but for the vigilance
of Jailer Coatsworth and Under Sher-
if Crawford they would have easily
gained their freedom, as they had
planned we'll and worked persistently.
The officers have known for some
time that the men who were confined
in the northern tier of cells had been
working at something, and day and
night they have kept a careful watch.
Prisoners Searched.
Last evening at 6 o'clock the Of
ficers made a move, as it became evil
dent that the attempt would be made
that night. One by n the prisoners
were taken from their cells and com
PEELED to strip naked and their
clothes and hunks thoroughly search
ed. Then they were locked in the
southern tier. The results of the
search were somewhat surprising and
consisted of three saws, made from
case knives, a three-cornered file, a
sawset, made from a stick of kindling
wood, two springs taken from shoes,
a long strip OF steel torn from a bunk,
and a large bolt, two feet long, evil
IDENTIFY to be used on the jailer should
he offer any interference.
Steel Bars Sawed.
They had sawn a piece out of one
of the steel cages large enough for a
man to crawl through with ease, cut
ting through the thick steel bars six
times. The piece which they had
sawn out was held in place by means
of wood splints and the traces of the
saw were covered with soap. The
piece readily fell out when taken hold
of by the hand.
Modern Cells Neened.
There are at present ten men in
Jail and the new and modern cells
contracted for last winter by the
ty are very much needed. So far as
is known Mr. Neill of Helena, who con
tracted to have them in place the
first of March, has done nothing, and
it is probable that the officials will
take some steps to compel him to full
fill his contract. This is the third
attempt at Jail breaking in the past
year.
