strated beyond question at o'clock this
afternoon. when the machine broke down
during preparations for a launching.
The motor of the aeroplane failed to op-

fragments flying into the engine, damag-

klRLEY WANTS TO GET OUT OF
~i~ JAIL.
ACTION IN HABEAS CORPUS
Judge Grants Writ and Defendant
Will Be in Court This
a Evening.
From Thursdays Daily Gazette.

1t is very evident that John Kir-
ley, the alleged Bridger bank robber,
is not without money, or else he has
friends who have it and are willing
to part with some for the purpose of
restoring him to liberty.
Last Friday Kirley was brought to
this city from Red Lodge and placed
in the county Jail for the purpose
of keeping him separate from the
other suspects, who are held in the
Red Lodge Jail. His arrest was eff
fected a couple of days before and it
seems that he was not given the Op-
p%ortunity to have a preliminary hear
ing or to give bonds, having been
kept at Red Lodge over night and
formalities of the law having been
observed. He has tired of Jail life
and now intends to get out, il he car
With this end in view he last night
caused habeas corpus proceedings to
be instituted in his behalf.
1t was about 10 O'Clock when the
petition was presented to Judge Loud
with a request to make the writ re-
turnable as soon as possible. He grant
ed the order and Sheriff Hubbard,
who has custody of the petitioner,
is commanded to have Kirley in court
at 5 o'clock this evening.
While the attorneys for Kirley,
Judge j. R. Goss of this city and l..
B.. Reno of Red Lodge, were busy in
behalf of their client, the sheriff's
Office was not idle, but used the tel
ephone wire between this city and
the Carbon county capital with energy
and expedition. Sheriff Potter of Red
Lodge was notified of the turn things
had taken and answered that an at
torney representing the bankers as
%sociation would arrive this afternoon
on the Bridger train to fight the
matter.
The petition recites that the pc
titioner is %unlawfully imprisoned, de-
tanned, confined and restrained of his
liberty by George Hubbard, sheriff
of Yellowstone county, Montana, by
being kept a prisoner in the Jail of
the county named, situated in the
city of Billings; that he was arrested
in Carbon county, January IA, 1908,
on a warrant issued by Emmett Chat
field, a justice of the peace of Carbon
county. charged with the crime of
robbery, and taken to the county Jail
OF Carbon county, where he was kept
one night and then brought to Bill
ings, January 16, and ever since then
has been and is now confined and
imprisoned and deprived of his lib
erty. Continuing, the petition alleges
that the petitioner has never been
brought before a justice of the peace
or other magistrate and has never
been given a hearing or the oppor-
tunity to give bail, nor has any bail
been fixed. Therefore he Irays that

in the sum of $4,000 and $1,000, re-

place sometime next month, the exact
date having not yet been fixed. Both

of long incarceration.
The local lodge of Eagles will cele-
brate the fourth anniversary of the

on the evening of February s. The

of a banquet and the committee in

will be the biggest event of the kind
ever given in thecity. Covers will
be laid for 800. A number OF people,
not members of the order, will be
invited to participate in the festivi-

A detachment of a dozen or so men
| of the Third cavalry passed through
the city this morning en- route to Fort
| Meade, S. D., where thew will join
the Thirteenth cavalry, which is to
| sail shortly for the Philippines. AL
| though the members of the detach-
| ment returned from the islands only
about six months ago, they are anx-
ious to go back, having found life
at Fort A~ssinaboine too dull and
monotonous and prefer active duty
in the field to the monotony of mere
garrison duty.
F. M. Marble is closing up his at
fairs preparatory to removed from the
city. He has resigned his position
with the Donovan-McCormick COM
pany to re-enter the employ Of the
Swift company, with which concern
he was a number of years before his
connection with Donovan-McC ormick
company. Next Monday he will leave
for Chicago, when it will be decided
to which of several places now in
view he will be sent. On the same
day his father, 3. M. Marble, and sis
ter, who have been making their home
here, will return to Fort Scott, Kan,
where they formerly resided.

was reported that the couple had ar
rived On the Bridger train. Last ev-
