ALLEGED RusTLERs ARRESTED.
Two Men Rounded UP for Stealing
Crow Cattle.

Er% Saturdays Daily Gazette.
last July a gang of five men ran off
ten head of yearlings belonging to the
Grow Indians. Major Reynolds sue
ceeded in recovering all the stock and
then set about to effect the arrest Of
the thieves. In this he has been al
most as successful as in the matter
of the recovery of the stolen animals.
Two Of the men arrested
sometime ago and today he met Sher-
if Nelson of Sheridan, Wyo., here,
who told him that two more of the al
legged thieves had been rounded up
and are now in Jail at Ogallala, Neb.,
awaiting action of the authorities by
whom they are wanted. AS the men
are United States prisoners and the
offense charged against them was
committed in this state they will
probably be taken to Helena for trial
The prisoners now awaiting re-
moval from Nebraska are Osa Force
and William Benson.

From Fridays Daily Gazette.
The locomotive and two cars of an
eastbound Northern Pacific freight
train became derailed yesterday at
Conlin, a station between Miles City
and Glendive. w. T. Nickets, the en-
gineer, was severely, but not danger
ously scalded by escaping steam,
while one Of the brakemen, named
Jemizik, was also slightly injured by
jumping.
The train was pulling onto a SID
ing when the accident occurred. The
engine, as well as the cars, rolled
over onto it's side and before he could
make his escape, Nickets received his
injuries. He was taken to Glendive.
where he resides, and placed under a
doctors care.
It is supposed that the accident
was due to the burning off Of the ends
of some ties, as a freight car had
been destroyed by fire on an adjoining
track only a few hours before.

The Ball.

If anything further was needed to
complete the pleasures of the visitors
it was the magnificent bali rendered
in their honor last night by the Nav
ericks. Orwell hall, by far the larg-
est in the city, was crowded to it's
utmost capacity and the picture pre-
sented by the merry dancers was both
pleasing and animated. All the fire.
men were in uniform and formed a
pleasant contrast to the rich toilets of
the ladies. Just how many copies
were present cannot be said, but it
seemed as though about everybody in
the city who danced was there. The
floor managers did their work well
and there was no cause of complaint
from anybody, as wall flowers" did
not blossom, unless it was Of their
own volition. /,
The hall was beautifully and ap-
p%ropriately decorated.
Music was furnished by Vests
orchestra and was of the usual high
order which has given that organiza-
ton the enviable reputation it enjoys.

TWO ALLEGED "RUsTLERs."
Jailed by Deputy Sheriff Harding for
Horsestea!ing.

Deputy Sheriff Harding of the Mus
selshell district, landed two men in
the county Jail at moor today on the
charge of horsestealing.
The names of the men are R. l..
Glunt and Clyde Bently and they have
been working for some time for a
sheepman named Garrett DeBore, who
has a ranch on Hawk creek.
Last Thursday evening the men in
formed DeBore that they were going
to leave his ranch the following day,
Glunt had bought Is head of ponies
and an outfit and said he was going
to take them to a range somewhere
east for the winter. DeBore left the
ranch that night and went to his
sheep camp, several miles distant,
and did not return until Tuesday
morning of this week. At noon he
went to Deputy Harding's house and
informed him that the men had TAX
en- away with them two horses and a
set of harness belonging to him. Mr..
Harding Immediately set out on their
trail and rode to Junction the same
night. The following morning he
took the train for Forsyth, where he
found that the men had been there
a few days prior, and had made in
quiries about crossing the river be
low. MI. Harding continued on east
and crossing to the north side of the
river at Miles City found the men
and their outfit in camp about 20
miles east Of that place, and placed
them under arrest.
They had with them only n of the
horses described by DeBore and said
they had left the other one and the
harness at the RI horse camp en-
route. They declared that DeBore
had told them they could take the
horse then in their possession, but De
Bore says otherwise.
From the time the men started they
had made from 25 to 40 miles a day
with the outfit, which fact alone is
regarded a very suspicious circum-
stance by the officers.
The men were brought up from
Miles City on the train this morning.

r When the roll was called for the
morning session of the firemen's con.
vention today the responses were
few and President Bond sent out a
patrol to roundup the Maverick del.
egates, remarking that there might
be some excuse for the boys from the
country but there was non for the
boys from the city"
The president also explained the
reason why the proposed excursion
to- the Custer battlefield had been
abandoned. Major Reynolds, Crow
Indian agent, he said, had expressed
his ability and willingness to take
care of the convention, with the as
sistance of the Indian police, for one
day, and the Burlington railway COM
pany was willing to give the transpor-
tation but had no rolling stock avail
able.
The discussion of Chief Mays pa
per on water damage was participat-
ed in by Cfiefs French, Alexander,
Bond and others.
chemical Engines and Their Ne
cessity in all Fire Departments" was
the topic assigned to the Helena de-
partment. The subject was well
treated and the use of chemical en-
gines strongly recommended. Chiefs
Lapp, French, Bond, Bebb, May and
MI. Bender added their endorsement
to the recommendations of the paper,
and an interesting discussion ensued.
Chief Lapp said he had under his
charge at the Anaconda mining prop
critics It's six-gallon chemicals, and
took great pride in them, and found
them very efficient.
Mr.. Bender of Livingston gave an
instance of a fire in his city in a mus
ical instrument store, where by the
use, of a chemical the damage was
confined to $500, whereas had water
been turned on the loss would have
been in the neighborhood of $4,000
A p%rotracted discussion ensued on
the subject of the best system of Gel,
lar Pipe"
Chief Bond exhibited one made by
himself which had proved very eff
fective and was commended.
A paper had been expected from
Chief Mentrum Of Anaconda on the
BEST Method CT Protecting Firemen
from Granger from Electric Wires,"
but owing to his absence on account
of rheumatism, it was not forthcom-
ing.
The subject was amply discussed,
however, and the best safeguard sug-
gested was to cut the wires.
The chair announced that a subject
had been assigned to Billings on "How
to Make Firemen, and How to Keep
Them" but that they wished to defer
the presentation of this topic until
after they had examplified the secret
work of the Mavericks.
The report of the treasurer was
read and referred to the finance com
mittee.
A motion was made that Chief Lapp
be made a member of the association
without fees or dues, and it was car
ried unanimously.

SAW The REAL THING
Visitors Given Practical Exhibition
Of How Firement Are Made in
BiIlings-ResoIutions.

ALTHOUGH a few were still lingering
this afternoon, the majority of the
visiting firemen who were in attend
ance at the convention departed for
their respective homes early this
morning.
The meeting came to an end last
night at the parlors of the Maverick
Hose company. Several candidates
were in waiting to be indicted into
the mysteries of the organization, for
the Mavericks are a secret body, and
it had been decided to postpone their
initiation until the close of the con-
y%ention, sc that the visitors might
see how firemen are made in Billings.
The guests were required to do no
ore than to take the customary OBJ
legation pledging themselves to main
tain secrecy as to what they might
hear and see The candidates were
"it" and it is said that they have no
ground for complaining that they did
not receive all that was coming to
them.
Informally Dedicated.
When the regular business meeting
of the convention adjourned yesterday
afternoon the delegates and many of
the Mavericks, headed by the Living
ston Firemen's band, formed them
selves into a column and marched up
Twenty-seventh street to First avenue,
north, thence west to the new city
hall. Here the band played several
selections and short addresses We're
made by Assistant Chief Shinnick of
Butte and Mr.. Mallory, who spoke
e%loquently of the good time the Wis
itors had had and something in the
nature of an impromptu dedication of
the new fire station took place. The
column then reformed and counter
marched to the fire station. where car
riages were in waiting to take the
visitors to the pumping station below
town.

He Grasped the Situation.

One of our young sports took
his girl out buggy riding one
evening last week and the conver-
sation turned to fortune telling.
He asked her if she believed in
palmistry. She looked up shyly
and said "Well, l don't know ;
but l think I could foretell more
enjoyment if l could see the lines
in one of your hands"
The young man, who was slow
to comprehend her meaning, sat
with bowed head and wrinkled
brow until they had gone, at least,
two miles; when, suddenly, a
great light broke upon him, a
broad smile Illuminated his face,
and-he "grasped the situation. +"
