TRACY HIDING IN
LAKE CREEK REGION
WAS SEEN LAST EVENING THREE
AND A HALF MILES NORTHEAST
OF ODESSA HEADED NORTH.
10y ASSOCIATED PRESS

Spokane, Wash, August 4-Harry
Tracy, the outlaw, is believed to be hiding
today in the rough Lake creek country,
west OF Harrington, waiting for darkness
to sneak toward the wild region in south
western Lincoln county. A special from
Odessa states that man answering his
description was seen by Mrs. Craben, a
farmers wife, three and one-half miles
northeast of that town, about Q 40 o'clock
last evening. He was travelling north on
the road that leads to Wilbur, riding one
horse and leading another, and carrying
two rifles. He did not stop nor speak to
the woman as he passed. It is suspected
that he merely turned north to find hid
ing place.
viii Try to Head Him OF.
Sheriff Doust of Spokane with a posse
goes West today TO cooperate with Sher-
ifs Gardner of Lincoln, Debolt OF Douglas
and Cudihee of King counties. Gardner
and posse left Harrington this morning.
Debolt left Rcardon this morning, and is
supposed to have gone to the Lake creek
region. The plan of campaign is some
what changed, the program now being to
get in front of Tracy and head him off
instead of pursuing him.
Debolt tried this plan Saturday night,
lying in wait for the outlaw near Odessa,
but the road forked and Tracy took the
wrong fork, swinging south and missing
the ambush.

Jail-Father Of Victim Starts Out After
4 Eetrayer Of His Daughter With Gun,
but Is CorraIIed by Officers.

T. ]. Lane, who has been employed as
a bookkceper. at various places in the city
during the last 10 years, was arrested by
Policemen james Lawson and I. II. Cas-
r. sidy Saturday night on a charge Of cntic-
ihp Mary Casey into the rear room Of a
saloon in South Montana street. Lane
ana the girl were caught in the room, but
the nan who keeps the saloon says he did
not know the girl was there, she having
entered via the rear door.
Lane gave n bond Of $500 for his ap-
pearancc in the police court tomorrow
and the girl, who is not yet IS years old,
was released on her own recognzance.
The girl is the daughter Of James Casey,
an old faro dealer, who it Is claimed is
as square a man as ever turned card.
The Casey family lives in Dakota street,
not great way from the place where the
girl and Lane were arrested,
Were Seen Several Times.
About a week ago Policeman Cassidy
saw them enter a saloon and made it his
business to watch developments. During
last week he saw them there several times
and consulted Assistant City HAorney
Bollinger about it.
Saturday night he again saw Lane and
the girl meet at the trysting place and
after waiting few minutes he and Officer
Lawson arrested both.
In view of the fact that Lane is a man
nearly so years old and Miss Casey is
minor, the charge is serious one and
will be handled by the county after Judge
Boyle gets through with it.
Last night the girls father armed him
self with revolver and a knife and
started after Lane, but was captured be-
fore the services of the coroner were
needed. Had Casey run across Lane at
the proper time, the chances are he would
have sent him above the timber.

A hard time" dance was given at
Castle Butte last Friday night, which,
according to the unanimous opinion
of those who were lucky enough to
be present, eclipsed any affair of that
kind which has ever taken place in
that section of the country.
Over forty couples tripped the
light fantastic to the excellent mu.
sic provided by Messrs. Marshall and
Baker and partook of the elegant re-
freshments provided for the occasion.
A prize was given for the best repre-
~sentation of hard times, which was
secured by w. p. Kiser and Miss Rosa
Shepherd, who were costumed in a
manner which was the i~mpersonilca,
ton of misfortune and adversely.
AS is usual at a hard times ball the
crowd was a motley looking crew and
they were merry withal and kept the
ball rolling until 6 O'Clock on Satur.
day morning. and eve then the dane
ers were loath to quit.
The affair took place in the district
school house and on February 18th
a masquerade ball will be given in the
same district for the benefit of the
school and anybody who wants to ex
perience a right royal time would dc
we'll 10 attend.

County Commissioner W. E. French
Of Harlem has decided to put on a
new automobile stage line between
Harlem and Landusky in the early
spring. says a Fort Benton dispatch.
He expects to have machines made

a machine. He hopes to have the first
automobile line in Montana before
summer comes. There Is no doubt
hut that in the near future many OF
the old stage lines will be fitted with
an automobile outfit and there is a
possibility of a line OF that descrip'

the latest hard frosts that we have

while the young alfalfa that was only

There is a great advantage in early

Lee and Garvin Receive Light Sen
tence at the Hands of Judge
Knowles.
STOLE 7o4 HEAD OF CATTLE
Convicted Under the Wrong Statute
Mo Motion Made for a
New Trial.
STOLE 7o4 HEAD OF CATTLE

Helena, Jan. flowing to the fact
that United States District Attorney
Rodgers did not make plain under
what statute of the United States
Robert E. Lee and Samuel Garvin
were indicted, they were today given
light sentence in the federal court Of
Judge Knowles.
This was the day set for hearing
the motion of the lawyers for the de-
Tense for a new trial for the men who
had been convicted of the crime OF
stealing 704 head of cattle from the
Grow Indians.
When court opened this afternoon
L. w. Toole, OF the defense. said IL
he was informed of the statute under
Under which Judge Knowles would
sentence his clients. It would deter
mine his action in asking for a new
trial. In explanation he said that one
section provided for Imprisonment not
to exceed 10 years and a fine OF $5,-
600. while the other section made the
penalty one year Imprisonment and a
fine of $1,000.
Judge Knowles said he had con-
sidered the matter and he had come
g. the conclusion that the wiser course
would he to sentence the men under
the statute imposing the lighter SEN
tcncc.
1t is not because | want to do
this" said Judge Knowles. but it Is
the best thing to do under the cir.
cumstances.' After Judge Knowles
had made this statement, Mr.. Toole
said he would withdraw his motion
for a new trial, and that the men could
be brought in for sentence.
District Attorney Rodgers protest.
ed against the lighter sentence. 1T
II true he said. that four counts OF
Indictment were drawn up under sec
ton 1855. but four were drawn under
1856, and ] contend that the court
should sentence them under the stat
ute providing the most severe pen
atty"
Mr.. Rodgers wanted to argue the
question. but Judge Knowles said he
had made up his mind.
1T is not because | want to do it,
he replied, but If / should give these
men the nor severe sentence, the!
could get the matter before the su
preme court Immediately upon a wri
of habeas corpus and If it were fount
THAT they had been sentenced undeI
the wrong section. they would be dis
charged
Garyin and Lee were then brough
in, and sentenced each to a year il
the penitentiary and TO pay a fine o
$1,000. Garvin said before sentenc,
was passed that the evidence o
Henry and Brown at the trial wa
false. Lee said that Garvin had beel
g convicted Of stealing cattle he neve
owned. referring to the mashed 20
=. brand.
The Jury said you branded thos
cattle" said Judge Knowles, IAN
: that Garyin helped you. The evidenc
on that point was strong"
That ended the colloquy, and the
sentence was pronounced.
