HUNTING FOR KID CURRY.
Detectives and Eastern Montana Sher
IFS After Him in a Bunch.

Ills AILcT nun IN
Missoula. Sept. "a party compos.
ed of Northern Pacific detectives and
eastern Montana sheriffs, all heavily
armed. arrived in this city on a COM
bination train early this morning and
after an interview with Sam Cohen
at the jail. during which time theif
horses were fed and watered at To-
cal livery stable, they left for the
eastern part of the state again, on the
train which leaves Missoula at S:55
o'clock. While none of the members
of the posse would deny that he was
on the track of train robbers, he re.
fused to tell the object of the quest.
Among those in the party were detec-
tives o. e. Goddard, Joseph Hineman,
Batten and McFetridge, and Sheriffs
o. A. Fallang. of Big Timber. Robert.
son. of Livingston, and George Hub,
bard, of Billings.
Ii was plain to be seen that the
party has evidence that there is a
plan to rob train at some point on
the road. II was rumored here today
that they believe kid" Curry to be
in the state and this rumor is given
strength by the fact that they asked

the Northern Pacific bridge near Liv.

to suspect that he was made a tool

The party had no sooner arrived in
Missoula than a message was sent to
the members to return at once to east.

pear that they were either on the
wrong track when they came here, or
else that they came here for the ex'

United States government has adopted an
attitude similar to that Of England to-
ward the new Servian dynasty. 1t will
be in no haste to recognize government
created by assassination i'll the absence
of some exhibition of disposition to
punish the guilty. Therefore Mr.. Jack
son, who, besides being minister to
Greece, is also United States mi4istcr to
Servia, will not present his credentials
to the government of King Peter at
present
In fact. these credentials have not been
prepared He had credentials to King
Alexander which he had never presented,
and he was actually on his way from
Athens to Belgrade at the time OF the
assassination of the King to whom he
was about to present his papers.
1t happens that the trade between the
United States and Servia is trifling. and
the interests Of the two countries touch
at few points, so that there is really little
embarrassment likely to follow the TAIL
ure to establish diplomatic relations.
Paris (By Cablc).-Forcign Minister
Dclcasse's colleagues express the belief
that he is likely to deprecate the Servlan
tragedies by an expression similar to
those of Russia and Austria but it is
pointed out that King Peter took the ~
itiative in the cases of Russia and Aus
tria by telegraphing to the Gar and En-
peror Francis Joseph, thus affording
them the opportunity for Austrian res
ponses, whereas the Servian King has
not addressed the other powers, and, con-
sequently, has rot given them all oppor-
tunity to make rejoinders.
The opportunity, however, will come:
when the question of the recognition OF
King Peter arises In the meanwhile the
Trench Minister at Belgrade has been in
structed to restrict his action to current
rout;re affairs and to maintain neutral
attitude toward the new regime until the
question of the Kings recognition is
formally decided This will not come to
the front until after King Peters arrival
in Belgrade, his formal assumption OF
power and his notice of that assumption
to the foreign ministers.
The Hague (By Cable).-The Dutch
representative at Belgrade has been in
structed to assume the same attitude as
Great Britain toward the provisional
government of Serva.

this week the operators will have grie-

The operators will take exception to
the many petty strikes, which are the
cause of much inconvenience end an
noyance; also that the nonunion men are
being interfered with, and that the coal
output is lessened by the practice of en-
ploycs remaining at home on certain
days without permission.
The miners will offset this with the
charge of discrimination; that some OF
the men active in the strike have not
bco! given work since; that the award
of the commission has been violated by
a change i'll the condition of mining at
many places. which does not permit the
miners to make as much now as before
the strike, and that the operators have
broken all custom in the Schuylkill re-
gion by having the moi work an hour
longer Oil Saturday.
Among other important questions
which the miners want settled will be the
reduction of yardage, check weighmen
hours of labor for drivers and company
