BRlDGER BANK ROBBERY.
Plans for Robbing Many Banks Frus-
 trated By Capture of Burglars.

Red Lodge, Mont, Jan 24-The au- thorities of Carbon county have evil dence in their possession showing that the famous Bridger bank robbery last October was only intended as the first step in much larger plot
 The statement is made by high county official that when the cases of the Bridger bank robbers come before the district court, the prosecution will prove that it was intended by the gang, after the successful robbery of the Bridger bank, to assemble 20 men in western Carbon county, make a raid on Red Lodge and loot the three banks in that city. The plan was frustrated by the capture of the men who are said to have robbed the Bridger bank. This is the second time a plot has been formed to raid Red Lodge. Last summer the authorities received word that the hole in the wall crowd were on their way to hold up the town. The desperadoes. however, learned that the police were prepared to receive them and abandond the plan.

Are at an End.

Following is the answer to the m1n'A8 proposal made yesterday. The con- pany wishes 1t to be considered as the last of the negotiations between them- selves and the men:
 Waterbury, Conn, Jan 24, 1903. "Messrs Cornehus Horgan, Howard Dennis and J. D. Collins, Committee
 Representing Striking Trolleymen of this City:
 "Gentlemen: desire to acknowl- edge the receipt this noon of your com municaion dated January g, submit ting proposed agreement, and stating that if this company will sign this agreement the strike will be declared off and the old hands begin work iIn- mediately. That agreement contains only the same matters which were fully discussed between you and myself last Tuesday evening, January 20. Of the seven propositions contained therein I, at that time, offered to concede four, as you admit in your communication to the newspapers last night, and in your letter to me, to which am replying. You notified me on the 22d inst that the proposition containing these con sessions had been rejected by the trolleymen whom you rep resent, and by whom no con- cessions whatever were offered. The agreement thus rejected by you have not since had under consideration and will not. again consider. In my view of the case, all pending propositions and negotiations were then terminated by you have now no desire to renew the discussion with you or to make any further efforts to settle or compromise the difference between us. For that purpose, in my judgment, sufficient time and opportunity has already beer given.
 "This company has now assumed and expects to maintain, the position inds cated to you in my letter dated Janu- ary II, 1903.
 Respectfully.
