RUMOR DENIED:
Mr.. william Rockefeller says: THE rumor
that ST. Paul Company proposes to Issue new
securities In order to finance some operat,oh, s
II absolutely untrue. The company has ample
funds for Its present purposes, having on de-.
posit upwards OF $50, 900 In different trust
companies. At the time the new stock was au'
tnorized its authorization was TOR specific
object connected with the possibilities growing
out of some threats Of competitors. These
threats have not materialized so that there Is
NO need OF issuing the stock. y
THE CLOSING:
The market held Its rally WELL although 1t
could hardly be called active, Floor traders
Tor the most part were covering their shorts

TWAS QUICKLY DONE.
Howe Acquitted and Rearrested With
In a Few Moments.

Because they regarded the testi-
mony given by one of the witnesses
for the prosecution as indicative OF
a desire to persecute, rather than
prosecute, was the reason given by
one of the jurors that sat on the case
OF State VS.. Floodey Howe for the
acquittal of the defendant.
Howe was tried in Justice Mann's
court last Tuesday afternoon on the
charge of having driven stock OF it's
accustomed range. The complainant
was 3. M. Hungerford, from whom a
number of horses were stolen during
the last few months. On the first
ballot two of the jurors voted for con-
viction and four for acquittal In this
way the vote stood for a long time,
until it became apparent that the four
could not be induced to change their
minds, when the other two gave in.
His acquittal did him but little good,
for Immediately afterward Howe was
arrested again, this time on the com
plaint of Carbon county man, who
charged him with the same offense as
that of which he had just been ac-
quilted. Howe was jailed to await
his transfer to Red Lodge, where he
will have his next trial.
Another unpleasant surprise was in
store for still another man. He was
Hans Nelson, one OF the witnesses
for the prosecution Nelson had
been summoned by telephone and af-
ter he had given his testimony was
arrested on warrant issued at Red
Lodge on complaint of "A. P. McDon-
aid, who charged him with grand
larceny, alleging tht he had stolen
some of his horses. He was placed
in Jail with Howe to await his removal
to Red Lodge.

WATCH YOUR GATES.
Chief Morse Offers Suggestion for
Tomorrow Night.

RI
While every possible effort will be
made to head of the mischievOus
youngsters, and those who are not
children, for many older persons can
not resist the temptation to play
pranks, Chief of Police Morse re-
quests The Gazette to caution all to be
on their guard tomorrow exening,
Halloween. Because of the limited
number of policemen at his command
it will be impossible to protect all
parts of the city and undoubtedly
depredations will be committed. The
recollection of past years warrants a
little precaution, as all of the pranks
played have not been Of the harmless
sort and in many instances actual
destruction of property was reported.
BY following his advice the chief
hopes thai those who live beyond the
boundaries of the territory under po-
lice guard will escape with as little
annoyance and loss as possible.

WELL DESERVED SUCCESS.
"A Friend Of the Family Makes
Strong Hit.

1t is real pleasure to note the class
of attractions that have been appear
ing at the opera house of late. OF the
many very good ones that have held
the local boards this season "A Friend
of the Family probably satisfied the
audience witnessing it's rendition as
| much as any that has preceded it.
1t proved all that was claimed for it,
wholesome, original and full OF inno-
cent fun and abounding with situa-
tions of the most ludicrous sort. The
tion was one of the best and most
evenly balanced seen here in long
time. While, of course, the most was
made to give the two stars, Miss
Johnson and Mr. Barnum, every posi-
BILE opportunity to display their pecu-
liar comedy talents, it was not at
the expense of the other members
Of the company; they were not sacrl-
feed for the purpose of bringing the
principals into the foreground, as is
only too often done by the managers
of travelling combinations. Piquant,
vivacious and with charm OF manner
that proved irresistible Miss johnson
as Nancy Noyes honestly earned the
good will of the audience, which was
SO literally manifested. Mr.. Barnum
as the unfortunate BARLEY Swift,
whose unhappy love escapade at
Toxic brought him so much trouble
when as the sedate benedict he was
devoted to the wife whom he married
subsequently, made all that could pos
sibly be made of the part, which is
according him the highest praise that
could be given. The drollery OF Barry
Maxwell, who essayed the part OF the
private tutor, Professor Christian
Manners, was happy bit OF character
acting that called for repression and
moderation in it's rendition that would
have severely tried the skill OF one
less competent than he. AS Frank
Cutting, the friend OF Swift, Cecil
Magnus also made decided success
and proved an excellent foil for the
male star part. Miss Josepha Crowell
as Aurelia Miller, the acrid old maiden
aunt of the family, was very good
In fact all were good and to particular
ize the different characters worthy
of special mention would be to name
the entire caste.
1t was fortunate that SO excellent
a play and SO cleyerly presented was
witnessed by the generous house
present, for Billings does not always
turn OUT as it should when companies
of the excellence of that which ap-
peared at the opera house last Tues
day consent to stop here.

CHEYENNE SHERIFF FEARS AT
TEMPT TO RESCUE HORN.
PRISON LOOKS LIKE FORT
Armed Men Constantly on Duty Inside
and Outside, With spies
Everywhere.

Taking for true the accounts sent
out from Cheyenne with periodic reg
ularity concerning The apprehension
felt that an effort will be made to
rescue Tom Horn, the desperate now
under sentence of death there, it goes
without saying that those who are
entrusted with his custody and safety
until the law shall have been vindi-
Gated by his death will feel relieved
when they will behold his body re-
volving at the end OF a rope.
A few days ago an account was
telegraphed over the country OF a plot
in one Of the northern Colorado coun-
ties having for it's object to take Horn
from his custodians. 1t was stated at
the time that six men were detailed
to effect the rescue, being promised
big pay if successful by some men
who are popularity supposed to have
employed the murderer to commit the
numerous assassinations laid at his
door Timely exposure placed the
sheriff on his guard and he took ex-
traordinary steps to defend the Jail
in case it were attacked. Extra
guards were placed on duty and every
precaution that could suggest itself
was acted upon to foil the plotters
should they attempt to carry their
plans into execution But it seems
that the sheriff was not satisfied
with putting on extra guards. He went
much further.
AS toldgby travelling man who was
at Cheyenne a few days ago, the jail
now almost resembles fortress. Al
Gatling gun, with an immense amount
Ct ammunition. has been mounted ia
the Jail in such manner that it
can be easily brought to bear upon
every avenue of approach An ex-
soldier, a former artilleryman in the
regular army, has been engaged and
has been placed in charge OF the gun.
fie remains in the Jail all the time
and the H:ece is kept loaded, ready
for instant service. A Gordon of re-
liable men guards the outside OF the
Jail, in addition to which a strong
force is kept within. Besides the
guards, spies are circulating about the
saloons and other resorts and they
have their ears open constantly to
pick up any information that may be

Although Horn has only compare
lively few more days to live, his exc

lows is not known, but whatever the
cause, he is certainly behaving in a
remarkable manner.
