POLICE HELPED COLE
TO MAKE THE DEAL

George Cole. the highwayman who de-
sired to sell his confession, was allowed
TO get so far along with trade with the
Miner as to secure an agreement with
the representatives of the paper by which
he was to be paid $50 for the confession.
lie was enabled to do this on Saturday
night by the action of the police heads
Today Cole, who tells the transactions
between him and the representatives OF
the Miner in detail said that the latter
has repudiated the agreement and that,
in spite OF the efficient assistance Of Muir
ply and Reynolds and the half-dozcn
subordinate detectives and others who
heard the confession, but remained mum
so that lie might effect sale OF il, he
had not received a cent for the confession.
When seen he was both angry and indig
nant at the failure of the Miner representa-
tives TO carry ont their part OF the contract
and pay him the price OF the story, which
Murphy and Reynolds enabled both II and
the other morning paper 10 secure
and denied to the Butte public Sat
urday night by their faithful and
stalwart adherence TO policy oi silence

train robber more money than he got by
stopping the train, blowing up .he express
car, shooting the messenger and cndeayor-
ing to kill several people. Both highway
men together only got 81 OF. OF the hold
up. With the assistance OF the police this
one highwayman alone stood To win out
$50 with the bare account OF his crime.

TO DELAY ASSEMBLY,

Keep Introducing Bills

sprcrAL 10 ruF Ixrrp MOUNTAIN.

SPECIAL 10 1UE INIER &TAtN.
Helena, Feb, 10 Under the superficial
dulIncss which charactcrizes the present
stage Of the Eighth legislative assembly
pretty little political fight is going on. The
Silver Bow delegation, aided by few
other members Of like character, are labor
ing to prolong the session 50 as 10 make it
necessary TO have a special session called,
on the plea that the republican majority
was unable to accomplish anything in the
90 days. This plan, being thoroughly real
lied by the republicans, is being combatted
vigorously. The result is the number of
bills killed in committee and the speedy
committee action and hard committee work
on all bills now in that stage of legislation.
The tactics Of the Silver Bow delegation
and its friends are to keep introducing bills
which have no chance for passage expect
ing to prolong the debate on them when
they come up.
Just as an instance, Mullins today intro
and disabled citizens of the state. appropri-
ating $4,000 therefor and providing for
superintendent Of the home at a salary of
$500 year, and fixing the status of its
government.
OF course the bill will not pass, but it
will give the Silver Bow delegation a
chance to grow eloquent il it ever gets
into committee of the whoe-and so it
goes. But the republicans are alive to the
situation and slaughter of bills on even a
larger plan tnan has prevailed before may
be expected.
