They First. Turn a Trick at Miles
City,

Miles City, Aug. 22.-Three men,
strangers in the city, held up Buck
Arnold and Charles Moore last night
near the railroad depot for a couple
Of suits of new clothes they were car
rying. They then boarded a freight
which was about to pull out and left
for Forsyth, where they were captur-
ed by Deputy Sheriff Muri, who was
wired by Sheriff Savage to look out
for them.
The gang had been soliciting contri-
buttons on the street during the af-
ternoon, and last night attempted to
hold up a half drunken sheep herder
when he was going to bed and who
had exposed a roll in Silverburg's
saloon.
The night clerk at Silverburg's was
with the herder and drove the high
waymen off, after which they held up
the others, meeting them separately.
John Bombing, steward of the Miles
City Club, also had trouble with a
couple of hoboes who persisted in
forcing their way into the club rooms
while a dance was in progress. He
threw them out several times and
finally as he was about to leave lit
a match and discovered them in a
dark corner and threw them down
stairs.

Unusually Beautiful Display.

A rare exhibition of pretty things,
made expressly for the identifying Of
the home, is to be seen in the Don
ovan-McCormick company's big dry
goods window. The harmonious
blending of colors, the pretty draped
effects, in fact the entire arrange
ment of the window reflects very
creditably upon the artistic ability of
the company's designer. 1t will repay
any lover of the beautiful to take a
trip downtown and have a peep at it.

Man Who Is Making Getaway Re-
IL ceives Bullet in Foot.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
Butte, Aug. 22.-Martin Ryan, alias
Richard Hayes, and who claims to be
a Montana Central switchman, with
headquarters at Havre. was shot in
the foot about IL O'Clock lats night
while attempting to make his escape
after having been placed under ar
rest by Deputy Sheriff McGarvey.
According to the story of the Off
GER, a complaint had been made to
him that for several nights four men
had been creating disturbances in the.
neighborhood of the Cash lodging
houses, on West Galent street. Nc
Garvey kept a watch on the place,
and last night saw four men in that
neighborhood carousing and taking
numerous libationy from a can of beer.
He placed the men under arrest.
Ryan objected to his authority and
broke away, running toward Dakota
street. McGarvey took a shot at his
escaping prisoner, and the bullet took
effect in his right foot, passing
through the f1eshy part Of the great
toe.
Ryan continued running, but at the
corner of Dakota and Gold streets ran
into the arms Of Officer Thomas Muir
ply, who called the patrol wagon and
escorted him to the city Jail. It was
seen that the injuries were slight and
Ryan vas then transferred to the
county Jail.
Shortly after Ryan had reached the
city Jail Deputy Sheriff McGarvey
walked in and when Ryan saw him he
jumped from the chair in which he
was sitting and threatened to ami
hilate him from the face of the earth.
He said he would "get' McGarvey
some dark night even if he had to
''go by the way of the rope for it,"
Under the name of Richard Hayes
the prisoner was arrested on East
Mercury street, July 20, on the charge
of begging. He was given 80 days
by Judge Boyle and was released from
the county Jail Wednesday.

LOOKING FOR swAlNE.
Sheriff and Landlord After Bogus
Check Man.

From Saturdays, Daily Gazette.
Sheriff Hubbard and George F. Ben
nighoff, landlord of the Grand hotel,
left this morning for Sheridan, Wyo.
where they expect to find a nan whom
both .'wapt' very much, particularly
Mr.. Bennington.
The man is George w. Swaine and
he is accused of having passed a
worthless check on Mr.. Bennington.
Swaine and his wife arrived at the
Grand August 10 and registered from
Los Angeles. He said they were on
their wedding tour. He, found him
self out of ready cash and request
ed the landlord to cash a check Of
$50 for him. This Mr.. Bennighoff did
and yesterday morning the couple
left. Later the check was returned
as worthless and last evening Mr..
Bennington filed a complaint against
Swaine in Judge Fraser's court. A
warrant was issued and given to the
sheriff for service.
Information> was received which
caused the belief that Swaine and his
wife were at Sheridan and Mr.. Ben
nighoff and the sheriff went there this
morning. If the couple are still there
an attempt, it is thought, will be
made to compel Swaine to make good.
In case of his failure to do so he will
probably be arrested.
For some reason it is believed in
here by Swaine is an old one and that
he is travelling oyer the country max
ing a business of cashing bogus
checks and that the wedding tour
play is only a part of his game.

and permitted to be put to their
legitimate uses and purposes.
Not only did Mr.. Sleeper find the
president greatly interested in the
matter of the Wyoming peoples COM
plant, but in everything else pertain
ing to the arid land regions. He dis
played a wonderful knowledge of this
part of the west and in the opinion Of
the Wyoming gentleman is one Of
the best informed men in the country
on the question Of irrigation. His
talk on the subject is. convincing that
he has made it m of deep study
and to him, says Mr.. Sleeper, must
be given the credit for the success of
the measure which will eventually
provide homes for several millions of
people.
Mr.. Sleeper's account of his expert
ence with the innumerable newspaper
correspondents who stay at Oyster
Bay and have the president under
constant espionage is decidedly
amusing. His every mov is watched
by them and writer's and artists are
continually logging his footsteps.
When it came out that Nj. Sleeper
had been a cowboy with Roosevelt
and worked on the range with him
for the time he was not much less
sought for by the Industrious and en-
terprising scribes than the president
himself. All asked him for ''stories"
about the president when he was a
cowboy. some even going so far as
to make up tales and ask him if the
president had not done this or that.
To all he said that much as he dis
liked to disappOint them, the presi-
dent when a cowboy had been pretty
much as all others. He had been
fond of his horses, had ridden hard
and worked equally hard; had taken
his share of the hardships and dam
gers and in all other respects had
deported himself as a good, sensible
and honorable gentleman and had
been popular with all classes. This
not what they wanted and only
a very determined show of front pre-
vented some of the more unscrup-
ulous from firing in" columns of the
silliest and most ridiculous matter in
which the president and Mr.. Sleeper
would have been the central figures.
