Injured.
! from Thursdays Daily Gazette.
When John Pope, the colored man
arrested here on a telegram from the
authorities Of that place, reached
Miles City it was found that he was
suffering from a broken arm and a
doctor was called to reduce the frac-
ture. Where he received the injury
does not seem to be known, but he
told Deputy Sheriff Western, who took
him back, that the limb was broken
by some one in this city with whom
he had trouble before his arrest.
The cuff buttons which Pope is al
legged to have stolen from a Miles
City sport were recovered at Forsyth
where he is said to have pawned
them.
The Miles City Journal says that in
addition to the broken arm Pope also
had several rainbow tints" under his,
eye, said to have been put there by
the Billings officer who arrested him.
When he was turned over to Western,
Chief Jackson cautioned that officer
not to take any chances with his pris-
oner, as he would make trouble if Civ
the. slightest opportunity.
