TWO ALLEGED, ROBBERS.
HoIIister and Allen Must Return to
Helena.

E-. r-. N=
From Mondays Daily Gazette.
When. the two men who gave their
names as HOLSTER and Allen were ar
rested last week on the charge of
vagrancy and sentenced to do ten
days work on the streets they did not
suspect that it was done mere for the
purpose of assuring their presence lat
err on than merely as a punishment
for the offense with which they were
charged. Although they were vag-
rants, the police had information
which led them to believe the men
were implicated in a robbery COM
mttted at Helena, as they answered
the descriptions of two men for whom
they had been on the lookout, at the
request of the chief of police at the
capital.
When searched a pawn ticket was
found in the possession of HOLSTER,
which certified that he had hypothe-
Gated a diamond ring with a loan
broker at Helena. AS just such a
ring was said to be q part Of the loot
taken by the fellows, Chief Calhoun
was quite positive that the right men
had been arrested. He forwarded the
ticket to the Helena chief, who Sc
cured the nan that had been robbed
and with him went to the pawnshop
and the gentleman recognized the ring
as the pne he had lost. In turn Mr..
Calhoun was notified to hold the men,
as IN officer would come down for
them. Last night Chief Travis Of Hell
ena arrived in the city and identified
the prisoners as the men for whom
he had been looking.
This morning he went to Bridger in
seorch of further information and will
ret-sn this evening. Tonight he will
leave for Helena with his prisoners.

back from Bridger told the chief all
about the transaction in which Berry

the diamond ring which Berry had

there relieved him of his ring, valued

WILL PLAY REp LODGE.
Billings Schedules Game With Coal
Minera for 9undsv.

Billings Schedules Game With Coal
Miners for Sunday.
DfoRRuesday's Daily Gazette.
NEXT Sunday Captain Shuster's
tigers will go up against a team which
1t is believed will try them out as
they have not been tried az yet. A
game has been arranged for that day
with Red Lodge, a camp that has
always put UP as good and stiff q
game Of baseball as any team in the
eastern part of the state.
Roger J. Fleming, representing Red
Lodge, was in the city last evening
for the purpose Of arranging the pre-
liminaries. Efforts were made by the
local management to induce him to
consent to two games, one for Satur-
day and the other for Sunday, but he
said that because of the way in which
trains are run between the two towns
1t was impossible for his team to play
more than Sunday. His men would
be compelled to lose three days and
as a majority of them are workingmen
they could not afford to make the sac
rifice.
Red Lodge already has q good team,
but 1t is believed that an attempt
will be made to strengthen it for next
Sunday. a "hunch" having been re
ceived that very likely several play
ers viii be imported for the occa-
sion. This, however. will not be per-
mitted to cut any figue so far as Bill
ings is concerned, as it is desired
that the game shall be as good as can
be put up.
The managers hope that there will
be no repetition of last Sundays tao
ticcs on the part of those who wanted
to see the game, but would not pay
and instead Of passing through the
gate climbed the fence. It costs mon
ey to keep up q ball team and the
managers feel that they are entitled
to better treatment. To prevent a re-
%currence, if possible, patrols will be
stationed at different points and any
body caught attempting to SNEAK
into the grounds is likely to receive
rough usage.

Board Of Education Employees Sever

6oaro OF employees SSVST.
al More Teachers.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
The beard of education met last ev-
ening and completed it's labors in the
matter OF employing teachers for the
next school year. In addition to those
selected at a previous meeting these
were also engaged:
Martha ]. Lusk of Billings, first
grade; Olive ]. Linean, Euclaire, Wis,
first grade; Florence earns, Rapid
City, s.. D., third or fourth grade;
Lucille Brewer, Gordon, Neb., third
or fourth grade; Rose Heller, Mime
apolis, fourth grade; Cora Mccormick,
city, sixth grade; Josephine Gilmore,
Lawrence, Kan, sixth grade; H. T.
Allen, principal of south side schools;
Mary E. Straub, Eugene, Ore, addi-
tional high school teacher.
All told the schools of the city the
coming year will employ % teachers,
an increase OF seven, as compared with
the number employed the past year.
The increase in the enrolment ct
pupils will be 20 per cent more than
the enrolment at the close OF the
school year just ended. At the same
ratio OF increase two additional build
ings must be provided within the next
two years.
The meeting also brought out a dis
cussion relative to the proposed coun-
ty free high school. The board did
not view with favor the issuing of
bonds for that purpose, but did not go
on record in opposition to the ques-
ton. In the opinion of the board
that is a matter entirely in the hands
of the taxpayers Of the county. Sen
timent among those having the man
agement of the city school affairs is
apparently against bonding the county
for the purpose of conducting a free
high school under county control.

HELD FOR

Charles "A. Stinson Arrested at Re-
quest Of Colorado Authorities.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Charles H. Stinson, whose parents
reside a short distance up the valley,
is a prisoner in the county Jail, await
ing extradition to Colorado on the
charge of grand larceny.
Stinson was arrested yesterday by
Under Sheriff Sayles at the Twenty
Mile ranch and brought to town last
evening. He will be taken to Colo
RADIO Saturday night.
received "A circular from Sheriff Hof-
man Of Castle Rock, Colo, containing
a description Of Stinson and offering
a reward Of $50 for his arrest. A few
days ago Mr.. Hubbard was at Twenty
Mile and thought he recognized Stin-
son, but was not certain. Upon his
return he again read the description
Of the man wanted and became sat
isfied that he was Stinson. Accord
ingly he sent Mr.. Sayles out yester-
day and the arrest was effected.
BY a strange little bit of destiny's
sarcasm Stinson's brother was an un-
whiting accomplice to his arrest.
When Mr.. Sayles reached the ranch
stipson attempted to run away and
had gone about two miles before the
under sheriff saw him. Just at that
time Stinson's brother passed along
the road driving a team and leading
a saddle horse. Mr.. Sayles borrow
ed the horse and gave chase to the
fleeing man. He soon overhauled
him and after that had no further
trouble with him.
The nature Of the offense Of which
the prisoner is alleged to be guilty is
not known, the order for his arrest
merely stating he was guilty of grand
larceny.

SHREWD OLD MAN MAKES
HIS EXPENSES THUS
Bets He Can Light Safety Matches
Without Box-Uses His Trousers.


An uncouth old man was taking a
trip recently through Southern Hli-
nois, and CHANGED to be sitting with
a commercial traveller in a smoking
compartment The old man took out
a box Of safety matches and tried to
strike one and then another on the
woodwork
You have to scratch them on the
box, uncle" remarked the salesman.
ooh. I think can strike match"
replied the old man, as he ripped one
across a vanished panel and broke
off the head. The traveller laughed at
his failure, and gave him some more
information.
1.-THE only way to light those match
es is to strike them on the box" said
he.
"Oh, I can scratch 'em anywhere"
And the old man tried one on the sole
of his shoe, another on the arm of
the seat and still another on the floor
of the compartment, while the passen-
gers only laughed.
Il tell you they are so made that
they won't light unless you strike them
on the box"
Il bet you they will"
'T'll bet you 81 they won't"
I'll bet YOU $40 they WILL
"Tll take tt
The wager was made. The old man
took one Of the matches, stood up and
hitching his trousers UP so as to make
smooth surface over his broad thigh,
gave the match g deliberate scratch,
and 1t blaZed up. Then he coolly light
ed his pipe and picked up the stakes.
The smart commercial traveller does
not know that the innocent old rascal
pays his expenses every trip on that
trick, for he has the side of a match
box sewed In his trousers, beneath the
tail of his long, shiny coat.-Utica OBJ

TILES TOLD OF NOTED MEN

Abraham Lincoln was not what
might be termed a religious man, but
he possessed that quality which alone
makes religion adrnirable-broad char
tty that takes no note of cant and de-
spises sham of every sort. At a-meeting
held recently to raise funds for the en-
doWment of hospital a number of
speeches were made commencing the
worthy charity and sounding the
praise Of the Management of the in
st1tution. But none of the speakers
once during their little talks alluded to
the main object of the meeting until
1T came to Representative Goldfoglert to
address the gathering.
80 After stating that he had listened
with pleasure to the high words of
praise and commentator bestowed by
the speakers on the management of
the hospital he said he had failed to
note that anyone had felt it necessary
to call the attention of the audience
to the purpose that had brought them
together This oversight on the part
OF the gentlemen who had preceded
him reminded him of story.
when Lincoln was president Of the
United States, he said, che took

cold winter evening. During his stroll
he met poor, forlorn woman, thinly
clad, shivering with cold. IsWhen she
saw the president She mistook him
for a minister, and, FILLING upon her
knees, with hands uplifted, begged his
blessing, saying that she had three
small children at home, starving and
freezing .toe death. She, said: oh, Mr..
Minister, pray to the Lord to help
me-
when she had finished President
Lincoln said: My good woman, it's
not a minister that you need. You
need a grocer and the president took
a card out of his pocket and gave her
an order for SIS worth of provisions.
The point was at once seen by the
audience, who applauded loudly and
the result was a liberal subscription to
the benefit fund for the hospital.

Business Of the Senate Interrupted by
a Dainty Repast From Oregon.

One day last week there was a great
sensation in the senate chamber. Senator
MITCHELL, of Oregon, had received mag
nificent salmon from the Columbia river.
1t was a monster fish, four feet long and
weighing 60 pounds.
Serve this fish at 3 O'clock" said Mr.
Mitchell to Colonel Page, the restaurateur
OF the senate. and then he proceeded to
invite the entire senate to lunch with him.
Quite number of senators were in the
room OF the senate commerce committee
conferr1ng oyer the river and harbor ap-
preparations. When Mr.. Mitchell appear
ed at the door of the committee room
the guardian stationed outside did not
want to let him.
Let me go in and you shall have a
piece of fish, said Mitchell and of course
the door was opened.
Come down and eat salmon with me-"
SAID Mr.. Mitchell when he had apologized
Tor breaking into the conference "and
want you house rivers and harbors to
come along"
So at 8 O'Clock, just as Senator Hoar
had hn1shed his speech, the senators look
ed at the clock. Nobody wanted to talk
because in few moments all the audi
ence would be downstairs gathered around
the salmon. Senator Teller cut the
gordlan knot by suggesting that the SEN
