IT STILL TRAVELS.
"Pipe Dream" Sent Over the Wires

"Pipe Dream" Sent Over the Wires
From Billings Alarms the East.
That the pipe dream sent out from
this city is still doing service toward
working an injury to the country is
evidenced from the following dis
patch under a Miles City date:
u. G.. Anderson, stock Inspector in
the Sioux City yards during the past
summer, arrived in Miles City today
and will leave soon for his home in
Ashland, Custer county.
"Mr. Anderson says the stories pro-
mulgated by the enterprising news
correspondents of several Montana pa
pers, stating that eastern Montana
was covered with from six to eight
feet of snow during the recent storm,
has done much damage to the immi-
grafton and investment prospects Of
the state, as it is impossible to con-
vince people in such states as Iowa
that the statements are without
foundation.
From numerous other sources this
is corroborated. Natives of Montana
even as far east as Washington, d.
c., have been chilled to the bone and
astonished at such unreasonable as
sertions.

team went to head him off. After
driving some distance the horses gave
out and the under sheriff appropriated
a saddle horse which he found tied at
a convent place and renewed the
chase. Finally after travelling over
80 miles he found his man in a cabin
about 20 miles below Junction, into
which he had gone when he saw the
officer and realized that further effort
TO get away was useless. He had
struck the river a considerable dis
lance above where he was caught,
but had been afraid to ross, as he be-
lieved the ice not strong enough to
bear him.
While the charge against him in
Fergus county is grand larceny, it is
very probable that Arlington will have
to stand trial OF an information for
obtaining money under false pretense.
The game" he played there was the
same that caused his errest and con

PROPERTY is RECOVERED.
Mrs. Towne Secures Return Of Stolen
valuables.

From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
The satchel and contents stolen a
few nights ago from n of the rooms
in the Gruwell block have been re-
covered by the police, and no prose-
cutions will follow, as the wne Of
the things, Mrs. Towne, has expressed
a desire not to appear against the
thieves.
The theft was committed by some
boys, but old enough to know better,
and after abstracting the money it
contained, $50, they threw the satchel
onto the porch in front of Henry
Thorson's saloon. A young man nam
ed Watts learned of the presence of
the valise there and attempted to Sc.
cure possession of it. The bartender
would not allow him to take it and
retained it himself. The police were
notified and Officer Hayden arrested

Joe A%rrington's Pedestrian Powers
Give Officer Lively Race.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
Early yesterday morning Joe Ar
rington once more found himself back
in the quarters in the county jail
which he occupied for three months
before he left for the northern part o.
-the state. This time, however, he
was only a temporary occupant, for
this morning he, will leave under the
Guard of Sheriff Shaw of Fergus coun-
ty for Lewistown, there to stand trial
for grand larceny.
An account of Arrington's arrest at
the Musselshell crossing by Constable
Gordon on a dispatch from the Fergus
county authorities and his subsequent
escape from that officer has been pub
lished in The Gazette. Yesterday
morning it as also published that
he had been recaptured by Under
Sheriff Sayles at Junction, the night
before. His second capture was not
effected without some hard driving
and riding on the part of the officer.
Instead of remaining On the stage un-
til it had reached Junction, Arlington
got of when still about nine miles dis
tant and started to walk toward the
Yellowstone, intending to cross that

PLUMBERS AT WAR.
Two Arrests Grow Out of Failure to
Pay License.

Two Arrests Grow Out of Failure to
Pay License.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
The peaceful relations which have
heretofore existed between the firms
of Yegen Bros and w. H. Beeman
were suddenly disrupted yesterday.
It seems that the first named en-
ployes G. L. Olmstead to work in their
tin shop and as he is also a plumber
they put him at work in n of their
own buildings. While SO engaged he
made sewer connections, a fact that
came to the notice of Mr.. Beeman,
who made complaint to the city au'
thorities. An information was filed
against Mr.. Olmstead and he was
hailed into police court. Although
| Mr.. Beeman's name originally appear
ed in the complaint as the complain
ant, that of E. w. Keene was subse-
quently substituted, he being street
commissioner and in charge of the
o6S oy III SAS
it was alleged hat the defendant was
not a licensed plumber and conse-
quently not authorized to do any
plumbing within the city limits.
When the case was called for trial
the defendant was present, accom-
panied by Chris Yegen. The latter
sprung a surprise on Beeman by in
forming him that he, too, was guilty
of the same offense charged against
the defendant, as his license had ex-
pired a month ago and had not been
renewed. Beemen acknowledged the
fact, but refused Mr.. Yegen's offer of
a compromise on the basis of dismiss
sal of all actions and the payment by
each party of the required license.
Olmstead then pleaded guilty and
was fined $40, while Mr.. Yegen fled
a complaint against MI. Beeman and
| the latter will be in court tomorrow.

Joe Arlington Escapes Only to Be
Recaptured.

From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
Acting on information from Con-
stable Gordon of Musselshell, from
whom Arlington escaped, Under Sher-

and awaited arrival of the stage from

he wired to Sheriff Hubbard shortly
afterward.
After making his escape from the
constable Arlington starteds on foot
along the road toward junction and
was overtaken by the stage follow
ing the one on which he left Gilt Edge.
Gordon learned of this and commune
Gated the fact to the sheriff and Mr..

Two Escaped Jail Birds Are Heard
From AGAIN,

From Again.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
Under Sheriff Sayles left again yes
terday afternoon for the Musselshell,
the sheriff's Office having received in
formation from there which led to the
belief that Huffman and Kilby were
still in those parts.
According to a telephone message
to Sheriff Hubbard the two are keep
ing themselves, as we'll as the ranch
ers Whereabouts busy, for Friday night
two saddles and a pack saddle were
stolen from Hurley & Lamotte's barn.
The superstition is that the theft was
committed by the fugitives and that
they are going about to equip them
selves for a journey out Of the country.
The ranchers have become interested
in their capture and in addition to the
reward offered by Mr.. Hubbard for
their apprehension, the settlers have
subscribed considerably over 500 for
Tie same
During the past few days letters
have been received by the sheriff 60
ing to show that the boy, Huffman,
came here from Sturgis, S. D. He has
a brother engaged in the insurance
business in that city, who writes to
Mr.. Hubbard that Roy had always
been a good boy, but that shortly be-
fore his disappearance had become
infatuated with a desire to be a cow
boy and desperate through witnessing
a sort of wild west" show given there.
After that he had insisted upon being
given a horse and saddle and "gun.'
Mr.. Huffman writes that the boy is
entitled to considerable money and
asks, if possible, that he be permitted
to return 70 South Dakota to give
him a chance to start afresh.
In addition to this letter the sheriff
| also has one from Roy's mother, who
lives in Idaho. She, like his brother,
has learned of his difficulty through
the medium of the newspapers, but ap'
~parently has only an imperfect un'
derstanding Of tire situation in which
he is, as she writes to him to &c

FREIGHT cAR =
Reported Stealing BY Local Employees
of Northern Pacific,

From Sundays Daily Gazette.
With the %reticence characteristic
of their craft, the local officials and
employees of the Northern Pacific have
maintained dense silence concerning
a matter which for some time has
been e%ngrossing the attention of at
least a portion of the force and which
has been the cause of visits from of
icials from headquarters, not to say
ANYTHING about the detectives who
are said to be still in the city. Ac-
cording to report something is do
ing" and trouble is lying heavily on
the minds of more than one.
The presence of the visitors is said
to be in connection with the mysteri-
GUS manner in which freight is al
legged to have disappeared from the
company's cars and warehouse. It is
further said that several men have
been discharged from the company's
| service and that others may consider
themselves exceedingly fortunate If
they are punished no more severely
than to be compelled to look for EN-.
ployment elsewhere. Investigations
are reported as being still in progress
and further developments are looked
for. At present nothing definite can
be stated, although there is no lack
of rumors upon which to base almost
n kind of a sensational story.

IN socIETY,s REALMS.
Roy Matheson Entertains the Younger
Folks-Other Events.

Folks-other Events.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
The closing event of the unusually
active social week for the younger
members of society was that of last
night given by Roy Matheson to about
40 of his friends. Although practical
ly the same guests have been together
each evening, the fact had not caused
them to tire of each others company
or to lose interest in any way, for the
party proved if anything more enjoy
able than any Of it's predecessors.
Knowing that Monday morning will
witness the departure of Misses Inez
and Irene Elliott for Tacoma to re-
sumo their school work and that Por-
tus Williams will return to Shattuck,
accompanied by Forest Smart, be-
meath the merriment was a feeling of
regret, that this would be the last
of the social festivities in which all
would participate until the summer va
cation.
The Matheson home vas artistically
adorned with cut flowers, consisting
of roses and carnations. The arch
ways, draperies and electroliers were
tastefully festooned with smilax, while
punches of dark green molly with it's
scarlet berries, were effectively used,
as a background.
Domino whist was the game of the
evening and when the score was count
ed the ladies prize, a dainty cup and
saucer was won by Miss Irene Elliott.
The gentlemen's prize, a Rinehart In
dian calendar, was secured by Forest
Smart.
Tempting refreshments were served
by Mrs. Matheson, assisted by Misses
Minnie Panton, Marion Panton and
Kate Matheson.
Boone Cabin Dance.
The Daniel Boone cabin was the
scene of a delightful dancing party
Friday night, given by Paul McCor-
mick, Jr:, to about 100 of the young
society people of the city.
The entire ceiling was prettily drap-
ed with fishnet and bunting, with
numerous incandescent lights shin
ming out between its meshes. The
music was all that could be desired,
and as the spacious hard wood floor
is an ideal place for dancing, it was
in the early hours of the morning be-
fore the guests reluctantly babe adieu
to their host.
A bountiful luncheon was served at
midnight and much enjoyed. Little
Misses Merle Mccormick, Harriet
Rowley and Master Frank Allen and
Tommy B%outon, assisted by several
of the guests, served the refresh
ments.
Other Events.
Dora Spear invited about 20 Of her
little friends to her home last night

just enough wit and humor to make it
fascinating and enough of the spirit

eral pleasing piano selections were
rendered during the evening, and a
dainty luncheon was served on small
tables. :
