Sheriff Benner Of Cascade county,
who was in kalispell for several days
last week returned to Great Falls
Sunday, having in charge Mrs. Aida
Burns, who will be tried in that city
for the larceny of a diamond ring.
There are many peculiar circum
stances connected with her arrest
that makes the case one of the most
interesting III police annals of the
county.
Mrs. Burns and her husband form
erly resided in Great Falls and were
engaged in Keeping a lodging house,
and apparently were doing a good
business. Some time ago one of the
dodgers complained to the police that
he had been robbed of a valuable
diamond ring, and accused Mrs.
Burns of taking it. but as the inves-
tigation that followed revealed moth
ing that could fix the crime on her.
she was not arrested. Shortly after
that the Burns disposed of their bu i
ness and left. coming to Kalispell.

commeced suit for a divorce from
her husband alleging cruelty and de-
sertion in her complaint. When
Burns learned what she had done he
became exceedingly wrothy and, go
ing to the police, he told all about
the theft of the diamond ring in
Great Fails long ago, and accused
his wife of the theft. He said that
she had stolen the ring and gave it
to him after their arrival here. He
sod the ring to liveryman, but the
latter afterward returned it to him

and got his money back. The wo-
mans arrest followed and she was
placed in jail and the Great Falls au-
thoTities notified.
After he had peached on his wife
to set even with l1er for commencing
suit for divorce. Burns hung around
town for several days. being closely
been informed that he was planning
TO hold up a gang of men on the con-
struction near Tamarack. Burns had
become very friendly with the livery
man who bought the ring, and in a
fit of confidence inspired by whisky,
he told him of a plan he had formed
to rob some of the workmen ON the
construction. He said he knew of a
place where there was large amount
of money with only few men
around and that he was going to get
It even if he had to kill a few men.

ANS plans and We're watching him,
with the intention of catching him in
lhe act. Mounting his horse one
evening. when badly intoxicated, he
started to ride out of town. but be
ing unable to withstand the tempta-
tion of taking a farewell drink, he
tried to ride his horse into a saloon
on First avenue west, when he was
arrested. When searched, revolver
was found on his person, ard he was
sent to jail ON being convicted of r
rying concealed weapons. He is now
behind the bars here. while his wife
is in the Great Falls Jail, and all be-
cause he tried to get even with her
for attempting to get a divorce.

should be given to one of the mem
bers. A meeting was called at the
time to discuss the matter, and when

Walling should only hold his Job as

was shown that the men were able

Now. the paid men, as well as the

chemical engine properly, and do not
feel inclined to trust $4,000 worth of
city property to their hands.
The members Of the chemical COM
pany, outside of the paid men, were
appointed By Chief kolle of the de
partment several weeks ago, but have
failed as vet to turn out for a single
practice, and have shown but little
interest in their work. This is due
the members claim to their disinclin-
alton to work under Mr.. Walling, and
they state that as long as he is kept
in his present position they will re-
fuse to act. This week they notified
Mr.. Logan that they must know what
the council was going to do by today,
intimating that they would all resign
unless some action was taken. As
several members of the council are
aut of town, TO meeting could be held
and che matter rests.
AS the council will undoubtedly re-
fuse to remove Mr. Walling. all the
Chemical company Will resign. and
many Of the rest Of the department
will follow. The firemen are acting
too hastily in the matter. according
to the council, as there is no desire
on their part to do anything to Slight
tine organization. It was explained to
them that preference would be given
to fremen at all times and all posi-
tions would be filed by them If
there had been a man in the depart
ment with Mr.. Walling's experience
| with horses and chemical outfit, the
latter would not have been hired but
the fireman would.
The probable otcome of the whole
| matter will be the employment of
new men to fill the places of the dis
eruntled men, and the practical dis
organization of the volunteer fire de-
! pautment.
