night Miss Lillian Wilson was held
up by George Williams, a colored

She drew a revolver and shot him, in
fiicting a wound that crippled him,
and a few hours later he was located
and arrested. Miss Wilson had been
out at a family gathering. Williams
met her as she was going home and
told her to halt. He demanded that
she deliver her money, saying that
if she did not he would cut her throat,
displaying a large knife.
Miss Wilson replied, Certainly,
but wait a minute" AS she said this
she opened a %chatelaine bag she was
carrying and, taking out a revolver,
pointed at Williams and fired. Miss
Wilson then telephoned to the police
that she had shot a man, afterwards
explaining the circumstances.
When found Williams was hiding in
a loft of a barn. The bullet entered
the abdomen and is likely to prove
fatal.

ERAL BUILDINGS.
BOHEMIAN FIREMEN CALLED
Special Train Carries Apparatus and
Fire Fighters to Scene Of
conflagration.

Bozeman, Feb. 20.-Logan. the juno.
ton of the Butte and Helena branches
of the Northern Pacific railroad, was
visited by a disastrous fire last night.
Some half dozen or more buildings
were burned to the ground, the loss
being estimated at $4,000, with but
little insurance. Albert Freak and
Frank Evans, while trying to save
one building, were nearly ~suffocated,
Evans being now in a precarious con
dition.
The fire started about 9 o'clock in
a store building occupied by Mr..
Maescher and vas supposed to have
been caused by a defective fue which
set fire to the attic.
Before the flames were overcome,
the buildings occpied by G. B~ertelsen,
a Chinese laundry, M~aescher's store,
Gilhery's restaurant and several 9th
er buildings were destroyed. 1t was
only through hard work IN the part
of the citizens that the Hutchinson
building and the string of houses on
the east of Roland's store were saw
ed, and it was while working in the
Hutchinson building that Freak and
Evans were nearly %suffcoated. They
had been putting wet blankets on the

the flames and smoke in their direc-
ton.
The Northern Pacific Railway com
pany sent to the Bozeman fire depart
ment, asking for aid, as it's round
house and other buildings were in
danger. Mayor. Morris allowed the
fire engine and several hundred feet
of hose to go. and they were taken
over on a fiat car with a special en-
CINE.
However, when Fire Chief Alexan-
der, Chief of Police Robertson, Ned
Latta, H. Ferguson, Gerald Lansing,
E. Scott, H. Hanson and G. Lund-
wall of the fire department arrived,
there was little to be done, as the fire
had been checked and all danger of
the flames spreading passed.
Are Total Loss.
All the buildings, which were at
the extreme west end Of town, were a
total loss, but most of their contents,
with the exception of Maescher's
store, were saved. Maescher, it is
understood, had $4,000 insurance on
his stock of groceries. Most of the
buildings belonged to w. A. Roland.
1t is learned that new structures
will be built on the site of those de-
stroyed last night as soon as the ma
terial can be secured. DR.. Patterson
was called from Bozeman to assist
in taking care of Evans and Freak.

DISCOVERED BY DETECTIVES
LETTERS WRITTEN BY THE
TRAIN ROBBERS.

ouLlC, IOD. -k1OulI1OLdl Ct1uCuCC
going to show that "Long" Tom Will
liams was implicated with Cole and
Howard in the Burlington holdup, is
said to have been unearthed by the de-
tectives at work on the case.
Since the confession of Cole the au-
thorities have had a number of secret
interviews with Howard, and, it is
said, they have "sweated" him most
severely. It is believed that it is
upon information obtained from
Howard that the detectives are con-
WINGED that Williams was n of the
men involved in the plot, and it is
also believed that Howard is the man
who told of the plot to Stay Cole in
the event of a big haul being made.
The exact nature of the additional
evidence connecting Williams with
the robbery is not known and the Of
ficers are very reticent regarding the
matter.
1t is stated, however, that this new
respondence between Cole, Howard
and Williams, during the past three
months, and goes to confirm the
theory that the holdup al not pull
ed off on a few days notice, but was
planned several months ago.
This correspondence, which is re-
ported to have fallen into the hands of
the detectives, is said to refer to the
pulling off of that job" meaning pre-
sumably the holding up of the Bur-
lington train, although, it is said, that
the name of the railroad does not
figure in the letter.
1t is also said that certain para
graphs in the letters refer to the pro-
| curing of dynamite and fuses.
In this connection, it is said, that
the writer Of the letters, whom report
has it, was Williams, recommended
that the explosives be stolen, a little
at a time, from some one of the mines,
as to openly purchase it in the stores
might attract attention and more cas-
lily lead to the apprehension of the
men.
AS stated the officers at work on the
case refuse to discuss these alleged
new facts in connection with the rob-
berry. One thing is certain, however,
and hat is that the sleuths are GER
tainly on some new tack in the case
and are working more a%ssiduously at
present than at any time since the
robbery was reported and Howard and
Cole captured.
What are they after, is the ques-
ton.
For some reason Cole, since he made
his confession, is being let almost en-
tirely alone, although it is known that
the authorities are not fully satisfied
with the scope of his statement. They
believe that he is holding something
back and that if let alone he will,
sooner or later, make a supplemental
statement regarding the affair.
Howard appears to be the man upon
whom the railroad secret service men
are banking to obtain a full story OF
the crime, and it is stated that some
sensational facts may come to light
within the next day or two.

THE AWFUL PUBLICITY.

A pathetic story is semi-otficially
published in Washington concerning
the presidents desire to go hunting.
He would like to take another trip af-
ter bears this year, but he has almost
abandoned the idea owing to the i'm
possibility of leaving newspaper re-
porters "magazinists" and the camera
brigade at home. The awful publicity
of the last bear hunt in Mississippi was
an experience that the true hunter
never covets. In this crisis, almost Of
despair, it has been suggested to the
president that his secretary open ne
gotiations with the newspapers and
press associations to induce them to
ignore the next bear or lion hunt The
suggestion has plausible look, but the
more it is examined the more difficult
Vt is to believe in it's practicability. If
the newspapers should, call off their re-
porters, the field would be left to the
"magazinists," who would follow in
a drove the presidents trail and would
serve up the hunt as a scoop" a
month afterward. If the presidents
adventures afield are to be chronicled
at all, let us have them day by day
