Threats OF Dynamite Being Made to Force
the Northern Pacific Into Payment of
$4,000 Blood Money.

1t is not often that blackmail is
sought to be levied upon an entire
railroad system, but such seems to be
the case in Montana, and the penalty
for refusal to pay over $4,000 is the
dynamiting of the property of the road.
In August last the company received
a letter demanding $4,000, in which
it was threatened that if the terms
proposed were not agreed to dynamite
would be used on the line.
No attention was paid to the demand
and shortly afterward the railroad
bridge at Livingston was partially
wrecked by dynamite. A few nights
later another stick of dynamite was
exploded near Bozeman under a pas
sen2er train Other letters followed,
and the dynamiters proposed that the
company pay $4,000, and if it accedei
to the demand it was to carry a white
flag on engines hauling trains and Sept.

that a jury could be secured by 3

could be proceeded with. but only one
Juror was secured during the first

close to his attorney and was an at
