Hans Nelson is in the city Jail ION
the charge of stealing a horse from
a man named Van HOose. The horse
is said to be n of the band of ami
mails stolen last summer from Boyd,
Hungerford and Van Hoose. It was
found in a pasture in Carbon county
and watch was kept over it with the
expectation that the person who had
placed it there would call for it. Mel
san appears to have fallen into the
trap, for he presented himself yester-
day and claimed the animal. He was
at once arrested and as the horse
is alleged to have been stolen in this
county he was brought here for trial.
Nelson is alleged to be a partner Of
Pearl and Howe, who were arrested
sometime ago and are at present in
Jail at Red Lodge.
F. ]. Lang, connected with the Cruise
banking and cattle interests, was
brought to the city Saturday night
from the Cruise ranch, to the north OF
Billings, suffering with a broken leg.
He was assisting a surveyor to run a
line and in order to save a long de-
tour they attempted to make their
way across a narrow ledge of rocks.
Mr.. Lang slipped and fell a distance
of about 10 feet. When he tried to
arise he found himself unable to do
SO and help was summoned and he
was taken to the house. While it was
believed that the injury he sustained
vas nothing more severe than a sprain
Or wrench, he was placed in a buggy
and the long drive to Billings began.
Arrived here he was examined by Doc
tors Lindsey and Rinehart, who found
that the leg was fractured near the
ankle. The fracture was reduced and
early yesterday morning Mr.. Lang
was placed on board a train and sent
to- Helena, his home.

seems to be the effect it has ON Frank
Tobin, who is under sentence to do a
stunt of rs days on the city's streets
for wilfully and outrageously disturb
ing the peace and quiet OF the city.
Tobin has never been known to do
much work when enjoying the freedom
of unrestricted liberty, and when he
was escorted to the basement under
meath the city hall he declared with
all the vehemence of his nature that
he'd be everlastingly dadgasted if he'd
work. Persisting in his refusal to
WELD the pick and shovel, he was put
on the restricted fare mentioned. Sew
en- days have elapsed since then and

lis that he has" taken to writing
poetry and spends all of his time
in~making rhymes.
