ly Thursday morning. the account OF
which follows, being from a Butte
special to the Great Falls Tribune
dated In the afternoon of the same
day:
The hold.up OF the Burlington flyer
about six miles from the city limits OF
Rptte, was one of the most daring OF
robberies in the train hold.up history
of the northwest. There is yet consid
erable doubt as to the amount OF booty
secured by the bandits. some estimates
placing the sum in the thousands. In
railroad circles 1t is maintained that
the loss will not exceed $500.
Mail Clerk William Bell who was
shot in the hip received but slight
wound. He was also struck on the
head with a gun. In the explosion OF
the dynamite the top OF the Hannibal
and st. Joseph express car belonging
to the Burlington road. was blown al
most completely of. though the run.
ming gear was not damaged and the
small safe was wrecked. The large
through safe was not injured.
No attempt was made to go into the
mail car and the mail was not tamper

train proceeded on its way east. The
robbers were not over 35 minutes In all
at their work to the time they made
their escape.

committee will doubtless be named in
the house Monday.
Montana will have no deputy state
superintendent of public instruction,
the senate taking the position that one
like Welch is enough, and today killed
the bill pending. Anderson's bill fix
ing the salary of deputy game wardens
at $500 a year passed. The upper
body is we'll up with its work and to.
day adjourned to Monday.
The feature in the house was the re-
port of the committee on privileges
and elections regarding the Silver Bow
contest. 1t appears that the contest
ants have fiuked and the committee re-
port seating the contestees was
adopted.
The busted condition of Helena
finances occupied much attention from
the house and two bills to assist the
capital from going through bank
ruptcy court were passed.
Standing committee reports were
voluminous and all recommendations
were adopted. The bills they killed
were those relating to compensation
of deputy county attorneys, local op-
ton gambling, repeating present anti
gambling law, authorizing stock CON-
missioners to ship out estrays and to
amend the livestock law.
Among favorable reports was one on
the road bill, the only change from its
original form being the striking out of
the clause for the setting of mile posts.

Amending the law relating to the
