ALLEGES PERSECUTION.
PaIdino Claims He Has Been Grossly
Misrepresented.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Although he pleaded guilty when
arraigned this morning and paid the
fine imposed by Judge Fraser-$2C
for assault in the third degree-Mike
Paldino believes himself to be a perse
cuted man and that if all the facts in
the case were known he would appear
in a less u%nenviable light before the
public than now. While some words
may have passed between himself and
Mrs. O"Toole, he declares the matter
was grossly exaggerated by both her.
self and her husband, who arrested
him, but not before giving him a beat
ing in return for the assault he is al
legged to have committed on the wife
of the section boss.
Mike exhibited several letters this
morning, written by Mrs. O'Toole and
O'Toole, which tended to show that
no matter how they may now regard
him, the time vas not long ago when
he vas n of their dearest friends.
One of the letters was dated in
August and the other in October and
both were sent to him at Red Rock,
where he then lived, and breath
friendship of the strongest and tender
est kind. In the one by Mrs. O'Toole
he is hidden to join them as soon as
possible and told how much they all
missed him, and mention is also made
OF a ring she says she sent him and
which she hoped had reached him.
Then she told him something about
their home life and what they were
doing and again repeated the wish
that he might soon leave the loneli-
ness of Red Rock and come to them,
where a warm welcome seemed to be
awaiting him.
O'Toole's letter is not much less
ELUSIVE and repeats the wishes of
the female side of the house of
O'Toole that their Italian friend and
chum may soon be again with them.
Why he should subsequently turn
against him is not very clear, but
Padding says there is more behind the
mess than has been made to appear in
the case. However, he says he has
learned a lesson and hereafter will be
a little more careful in placing his
friendship in a section boss of Miles
ian extraction under whom he may
be- destined to work.

Horse.

Horse.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Because of a transaction In which
he and a horse figure, johnnie" Baker
was arrested last night on complaint
OF jeff Brewer, who charges him with
having committed the crime of grand
larceny, in that he stole the horse
mentioned.
Sometime ago Baker was arrested
on the charge of obtaining money un-
der false %pretense. Several COM
p%lainants appeared and in order to
settle the matter it is alleged he
hypothecated a horse and saddle with
Brewer, who paid the claims of the
different persons. Now comes Brew
er and says the horse turned over to
him by Baker is not the property Of
the latter, but that it belongs to his
uncle, it appearing that lee told
Brewer that such was the case.
This morning Baker was arraigned
before Justice Fraser and his hearing
fixed for tomorrow.
Baker denies that he stole the horse
and has sent word to his uncle. Geo.
Danford, who resides up the valley
several miles, of the plight in which
he finds himself and asks him 10 ar
pear in his behalf tomorrow. Mean.
while he is in Jail, having been unable
to furnish the bond exacted by the
court.

DARING DAYLIGHT ROBBERY OF
RRIDGER BANK.
MAKE SUCCESSFUL ESCAPE
Cover Cashier and Customer With
Guns and Help Themselves
to the Cash.
Tuesdays Daily Gazette.

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
The little town of Bridger in Car
bon county vas the scene of a dar
ing bank robbery at noon today
Three unmasked men, mounted anG
with Winchesters strapped to theil
saddles and revolvers in their belts
rode up to the bank in that town and
while n of the party held the horses
the other two entered the bank. and
demanded of Cashier Trumbo the
money of the institution. There was
but one other man in the bank at
the time the robbers entered, Henry
Williams, a ranchman of that section
of the country. Trumbo and viii.
liams were covered with guns and
the highwaymen helped themselves to
the money in sight, aggregating ST.
600. After securing the funds the
robbers lost no time in mounting
their horses and taking to the hills
east of the town.
Shortly after their disappearance
the alarm was given to the populace
and in less than a half hour rs or
more men went in pursuit on horse
back. The pursuing party is we'll
armed and has among it a number Of
good marksmen, but it is believed
that owing to the character of the
country which the robbers are MAX
ing for their early capture will be al
most impossible.
Statement by Cashier Trumbo.
At a late hour this afternoon Cash
Ter Trumbo of the bank telephoned
the following to The Gazette:
"The Stockgrowers bank was rifed
of $2,338, the exact amount taken.
The bank has a paidup capital of $1O,-
900 and undivided profits of $3.50.
There was not enough money taken
to embarass the institution. Dun's
and Brandstreet's rating is from $780,
900 to 5000, 900.

as to who will compose the local team.
Fortunately, however, there is no lack
Of material from which to select. The
record making by the members of the
different two-men teams now playing
in the tournament will form the basis
on which the selections will be made.
AS the situation in this respect now
stands it is certain that the cham
pions will be picked from among
these: Daniels, Corey, Tschudy, Bah
cock, Ovren, Elliott, Rickstein and
Smith. All are capable of play
ing good and winning games and no
matter on whom the choice may fall

Two Leagues Likely.
In a letter from Butte received this
morning by Manager Tschudy it is
stated that arrangements have been
made to hold a meeting at that place
December 10 for the purpose of or
ganizing a state league. So far four
cities and six teams have signified
their intention of becoming members
in the proposed organization, while
it is considered as absolutely certain
that others will join.
1t is very likely that instead of only
n league, two will be formed, one
for western and the other for eastern
Montana, with a state association to
be. composed of the membership of
both leagues. Such an arrangement
is regarded with more favor than to
restrict the organization to only one
body. If the plan is adopted then
each league can play for the cham
pionship of it's territory, the two win
ming teams to meet subsequently and
play for the state championship.
