MONTANA PRISON PL0T'
PLOT TO WRECK NORTHERN
PACIFIC TRAINS IN WEST
ERN MONTANA.
STATEMENT BY GENERAL
MANAGER COOPER AS TO
EVIDENCE.


eral Manager Thomas Cooper gives
the authentic history of the late
dynamite plot and outrages. 1t is:
"We are now in possession of COM
plete evidence that the plot to extort
money from the Northern Pacific by
djnamiting our track and trains in
Montana, was Matched in the Mon
tana state penitentiary at Deer Lodge
Of two convicts, Whitten and. .Grevelle
who had been cell maies for five years.
2 "Grevel]e was released from the
penitentiary July l6, at the epxira-
tion Of his term of Imprisonment,
and the first letters which he sent US
were mailed at Butte the same day.
and were written by Whitten. The
subsequent letters we're written by
Grevelle, the man who was arrested
within few hours after. the last at
tempt at dynamiting, he having
been trailed from the point where
the watchman discovered him Dig
ging hole under a rail, to his cabin.
Whitten is serving long time SEN
tence and Grevelle will undoubtedly
receive such sentence as will return
him to the penitentiary for the rest
Of his life, so that neither of them
will ever have an opportunity of en-
dangering the lives of innocent peo-
pie.
''Neither Of the men have been in
the employ of the. Northern Pacific
nor, as far as we can ascertain, had
they any grievance against US or any
other railway company. They appear
to be simply two degenelates, who
figured out this diabolical plan to
get money. regardless of the conse-
qnences.
mo expense was spared by the
company In its eff0lt; to protect the
lives Of passengers and employees, and
its property. We had seventy.hve
watchmen patrolling the track for a
distance OF $50 miles, detectives were
employed and two bloodhounds were
brought all the way from Lincoln,
Neb., besides two from Deer Lodge,
Mont. We're it not for the fact that
Grevelle was working alone and was
exceedingly cunning, he would have
been caught at an earlier stage in the
proceedings.
"Since Grevelle's arrest, we have
received no letters, nor had any
efforts been made to dynamite our
track or trains, and there is no ques.
tion whatever but what the only par
ties implicated were G:evelle and
Whitten. The episode is closed, ex-
c5pt that to the utmost etxent of our
ability, we will see that Grevelle
receives his just deserts at the hands
of the law.
"Some of the newspaper dispatches
emanating from different points in
Montana in connection with this
affair were exaggerated. In one case
an ordinary single fuse was found on
the track and transformed. by the
imagination Of the newspaper CORES.
pondent into a stick OF dynamite.
Another dispatch reported dynamite
being found near Mlssoula, which
report was entirely without founda-
tion, and in still another case, the
burning of small bridge, caused BY
the sparks from a locomotive, was
credited to the dynamiters.

"a little schoolboy while on his way

the heat Of his pocket It hatched- out o

ried 1t from day 10 day to school with
him and fed 1t with part Of his own
lunch until 1t became too big to be car
ried, when he made nest for it at
home.
"But one day it suddenly grew to
enormous size, and upon the boys ar-
rival home heAwas frightened to death.
"When the monster saw what he had
done he was sorely afflicted and re-
fused to be fed, but Immediately put on
mourning by turning his color from
brown to pure black. He crawled be-
side the grave of his departed friend
and lay there for seven days and
nights.
"At the completion of the seventh
night he came back to his late home.
but the boys old mother was 30 en-.
ragged at him for killing her only son
that she picked up an ak and chopped
his tail off.
with fearful scream and lash Of
his bleeding tail he felled the house
and made his way to the Moo Soon San
mountains, where he never shows him
self but once a year, Just about the
time when he lost his tail, to come out
and make trouble for the people by cre-
oting storms called the typhoon. This
he does to square himself for losing his
valuable tail"

One day some members of the family

Not long after his sisters. took an, old

The Papacy Choice.

At this time when every good
Catholic and thousands Of non
Catholics are interested in the cleo
ton of the new pope, and when many
are discussing as to whether other
than an italian Of noble relation and
rich can be chosen for this high
ecclesiastic Office, we append the fol-
lowing from McC Cauley as quoted in
the Register and Leader:
Peter, whom Christ called Simon,
and who was not only the chosen of
the disciples, but who in rivalry
with the Gentle affiliation Of Paul in
Rome, gave the Jewish tinge to the
Roman church which was pos
sibly responsible for three Jews
in the papal Office, was himself
a fisherman. Callistus, in the third
century, had been a Christian slave
in Rome. Sixtus Y, elevated III 1885,
was pig driver as a boy, and was
educated by Franciscan monk.
Alexander V. was a beggar boy, and
Sixtus ~ was thesonof a fisherman.
Urban ~ was the son of a cobbler
and the father of Adrian vi was a
weaver. A shepherd was the father
Of Benedict XI. 1t lis said that Boni-
face the Great himself had been a
street boy and had held the horses
Of the wealthy for pittances. There
is tradition that he had his mule
led by two kings when he was
crowned pope of the Roman church.
Clement the first was fellow labor
er with st. Paul, who told of it in
the Epistle to the Philippians.
Adrian ~ was the only Englishman
who ever was pope. His name was
Nicholas Breakspeare and he was
the son Of a beggar. Celestine v
lived in cave in the mountains and
wore haircloth.
There have been 26O odd popes.
The history of many Of them is OBJ
scure, and their origin equally SO.

MISTAKES OF BIRDS.
They Are the Result Of Contact With
Civilization.

They Are the Result OF Contact With
Civilization.
Probably In a state OF wild nature
birds never make mistakes. but where
they come in contact with our civiliza.
ton and are confronted by new condi-
tons they very naturally make mis-
takes. For instance, their cunning in
nest building sometimes deserts them.
The art Of the bird Is to conceal its
nest both as to position and as to ma
terial, but now and then it is betrayed
into weaving into its structure snowy
and bizarre bits of this or that, which
give its secret away and which seem
to violate all the traditions of its kind.
1 have the picture of a robins nest be-
fore me upon the outside of which are
stuck small muslin flower, leaf
from email calendar and photo
graph Of local celebrity. a more
incongruous use of material In bird
architecture It would be hard to, find.
I have been told of another robins nest
upon the outside Of which the bird had
fastened wooden label from II near
by flower bed marked Wake Robin"
Still another nest 1 have seen built
upon a large, snowy foundation of the
paperlike flowers of antennaria, or ey-
erlasting. The wood thrush frequently
weaves fragment of newspaper or
white rag into the foundation of its
nest. EVIL communications corr,pt
good manners" The newspaper and
the rag bag unsettle the wits Of the
birds.
The phoebe bird is capable of this
kind of mistake or indiscretion. All the
past generations of her tribe have built
upon natural and therefore neutral
sites, usually under shelving and over
hanging rocks, and the art of adapting
the nest to Its surroundings blending
1t with them, has been highly devel
oped. But phoebe now frequently
builds under our sheds and porches,
where, so far as concealment is con-
cerned, q change OF material, say from
moss to dry grass or shrels Of bark,
would be IN advantage to her. But she
departs not mite from the family ira
dttions; she uses the same woody
mosses which in some cases, especially
when the nest is placed upon uneyenIy
sawed timber, makes her secret an
open one to all eyes. John Burroughs
