LONG ABSENCE ENDED.
Was Gone Five Months to Get Hod
of Coal.
Mondays Daily Gazette.

From Mondays Daily Gazette.
One day last July George Robbins
requested w. B. Smith to get a bod
of coal. Smith promptly acceded to
the request, as far as taking the hod
and going in the direction of the coal
shed. Although the shed was con-
veniently located, Mr.. Robbins did not
see Smith again until last night, and
then the meeting was quite accidental,
at least on the part of Smith, or it
would probably have not occurred.
In order to explain the lengthy alb
sence of Smith it is, perhaps, best to
say that Mr.. Robbins is the county
jailer and that Smith was a prisoner
and enjoyed the privileges of a
"trusty," as his sentence had almost
expired and it was not believed he
would attempt to escape. Liberty,
however, was too sweet not to court
the chance of regaining it and instead
of going back with the coal he drop.
ped the hod and made tracks for the
country. Yesterday Mr.. Robbins
learned that Smith was at the home
of Pat Roark and went there. At first
he could not find any trace of the
man for whom he was looking, but
after a search of the premises found
Smith and soon had him back in his
old quarters.
It is unnecessary to say that Smith
will not be a trusty again and that hi
will be kept under lock and key unit
he shall have served the %unexpiret
term of his sentence, three months
and a fine of 500 for stealing a sad
die. He was committed last May an,
had only about three weeks more t.
serve when he took French leave.

WHAT The GOVERNOR SAYS

It may be said that seldom two
men are to be found in a community
who are SO nearly equal in popularity
as the two nominees for representa-
tive who have now twice contested
for the honor of representing Vel
lowstone county in the lower house
of the legislature. At the regular cleo
ton they tied and it was necessary
to resu5mit the matter of a choice
to the voters of the county. Last Sat
urday was the date set for deciding
tie tie and when the votes were count
el in the city and a few returns were
received from the outlying precincts
it was again a matter Of uncertainty,
SC closely had they run the second
| time. It was believed late at night,
however, that Mr.. Bever, the republi.
! can, had been successful by a very
few votes. This feeling of certainty
on his part and on the part of his
friends continued until this morning
when the votes from some of the out
side precincts that had not been re
ported Saturday night were brough'
in and at present writing the unof
fetal returns again show a tie vote.
Following is the vote by precincts
as returned to The Gazette:
