Horse Thief Captured.

The Great Falls Tribune of the22d
inst, tells of the arrest in that city
OF Tom McDevitt. who is wanted in
this county for horse stealing. Nc
Dewitt found a horse tied to a hitch
ing-post at Utica some weeks ago,
and as the horse was saddled and
everything vas in convenient form
for equestrian exercise, he purloined
the whole outfit for his own use and
departed from whereabouts. He was
caught by a policeman just as he was
taking the morning train on the Great
| Falls and Canada road. When ar.
rested he took from his pocket a let.
ter and tore it into fragments. The
| pieces of the letter were put together
again, and it proved to be from his
father. who warned him to look out
for the officers were after him for
the theft committed in this county,
and further added some excellent ad-
vice that should stay any young man
in his downward course. But as
usual the letter came too late. 1t is
likely that Sheriff Shaw will bring
McDevitt home with him on his re-
turn from the p%enitentiary.

Judge Leslie Holds u to be the Duty
Of the County to Care for Small.
pox Patients.
CITY NEED NOT BEAR EXPENSE
Question Which Has Aeitated County
Commissioners and lewistown
Aldermen Determined.

In Great Falls as in Lewistown,
Butte and other cities of the state,
there has been much disagreement
between the county officials and the
city officials regarding the liability
for care of patients suffering from
contagious diseases. County commits.
sioners have held that the city must
care for their patients and at
Great Falls city patients were refus.
ed admission TO the county pesthouse.
Some time since the matter came
before the Lewistown council the
county commissioners desiring the
city to share the expense of building
a new and larger pest house. the city
to have the privilege of sending pa
tients there and paying the same
amount as the county paid for their
care.
Several of the aldermen contended
that as the property of the city and
its citizens were taxed for the pur.
pose their patients should be taken
care of by the county.
The matter was allowed to rest
pending the conclusion of the case
brought in the Great Falls courts.
Friday Judge Leslie handed down
his decision, at length discussing the
law on the subject and finally decid.
irR in favor of the city. The pith
of the decision is contained in the
following paragraph:
"If the county has a hospital. as we
have seen. all cases. both city and
county and whether suitably lodged
or not, go to such institution at the
cost Of the county. If the county has
NJ such institution, then persons suit.
ably lodged are to be confined at their
places of residence; If not suitably
lodged. and there is no county hospi.
tai, then they are, by the provisions
OF section 10, to be lodged IN any in
stitution conveniently located, cond;.
tioned upon the consent OF the super
i%ntendent being had. and in the event
the case is one occurring in the city.
the expense is to be borne by tn ,
city, but II ii is a case originating
on. nj the city and in the c'unty the
eSpcnsc is to be borne by the county.
Tho act nowhere imposes upon the
municipality the cost of caring for a
smallpox patient except of the class
nam6G in and under the condition )
provided for by section 10 and also
under contingencies named in Sec
tion % of the act. This last section.
which is permissiye in its terms of
the right on the part of the city To
erect hospitals and care for its sick
inhabitants. imposes upon the city,
If it elects to exercise the right OF
providing a hospital. to bear the bur.
den of its expense and the mainten.
ance of those committed to its care.
The city having made no provision for
the maintenance Of a city hospital,
this section has no application to the
question here involved"

PENSION FOR JANE.
A Would-be B%enefaetor Says calam
ity Jane Ought to Have Aid.
(Anaconda Standard.)

hnhaSouud O~lduudlu.p
An effort is being made to secure
a pension from the government for
eminent scout. The stories of her
services in the pioneer days as a gov
eminent scout. The storieis of her
restitution, which have been publish
ed from time to time during the past
winter, have reached her friends in
the east, and Mrs. Josephine Barke of
Buffalo. the newspaper woman who
~befriended Calamity a year or so
ago. and made a trip to Butte to look
her up, has again taken an interest
in the remarkable woman and relic
of the early days of the west. Mrs.
Barke is now in Chicago and engaged
in gathering evidence necessary to
secure a pension. She thinks the
government owes her that much,
and Calamity will not accept charity.
Fifty years of hardship and exposure
have told on her and she Is no longer
able, physically, to take care OF her
self. She has rendered efficient sery-
ice to her country al a scout and In
dian fighter, and many an old pioneer
owes his life to her careful nursing.
Talk about your fine Christian"
once said an old stage driver who had
his leg broken when his coach was
upset coming down the long hill into
Deadwood, they are no more to be
compared with Calamity than a pair
of threes to a royal flush. What one
of them would ever have done for
me what Calamity did? | tell you
she is more than a woman; she is an
angel when a fellow is in trouble"
while the rest of the gulch was
too busy panning gold and fighting In
dams to pay any attention to the sick
and disabled, Calamity was always
ready to drop her gold pan, her gun
or her poker hand to minister to the
sick and suffering" said one of her
old pioneer friends. "She has been
known to take her coat off her back,
her shoes off her feet, to give to
those whom she thought needed them
more. An appeal for her to old sol.
diers and their friends should not be
rlade in vain"

as IL was warm enough there. Then
she said that her hands were begin.
ming to get stiff and cold and she be.
lieyed she IA going to be very sick
and thought she was going to die.
Jennie became frightened and ran in
TO the house to tell her mother. Mrs.
Anderson came out and at once found
the little girl lying on her lace in a
spasm. She at once sent word of the
child's illness to Mrs. Culver. who
hurried W and carried Alma In her
arms to her own home.
DR.. II. II. Wilson was summoned
as quickly as possible and arrived on
the scene within ten minutes after
the child was stricken, but she was
beyond the aid of the physicians

from the time she first complained of
being unwell. She regained con.

end when she was partially conscious
for a few moments and sank away
peacefully into the dreamless sleep.
Alma Culver was four and one-half
years OF age, a bright. interesting
child, who has never known a mo-
ment's sickness. and her death comes
as a severe shock, not only to her de.
voted parents, but to all those who
knew her.
Drs. Wilson and Hedges removed
the stomach Saturday morning. and
DR.. Wilson made an analysis of the
contents. finding a sufficient amount
Of strychnine to have been the cause
of the child's death. Where she could
have secured the poison cannot even
be conjectured. as both Mr.. and Mrs.
Culver are positive that such an arti.
Gle vas never known in their home,
and strychnine being a poison which
acts very quickly the little one must
lave taken it very shortly before hnr
death. She was with Mr.. Culver dur.
ing the day at the hall. and he nodc.
cd her eating something but did not
krow what it was, but this happened
a. least five no. before her death
