The following, taken from the Min

was resident of this city:
"Mrs. James Kelly, an early settler

SUSPECTS ARE RELEASED.
Two Supposed Dynamiters Discharged
from Bozeman Jail.

So thoroughly satisfied are the
Northern Pacific officials and the au-
thorities of the different counties that
the man Gravelle, now in jail at
Helena, is the one who committed the
different dynamite outrages along the
line of the company's road that all
others who have been suspected have
been freed of suspicion. Joseph
Jarves and William Stadtz, arrested
at Helena shortly after the first ex-
plosions occurred, have just been re
leased from custody.
They were picked up by the Helena
police and what was regarded as very
material circumstantial evidence OF
their guilt was collected. The par
ticular offense with which they were
charged was the dynamiting Of the
Northern Pacific tracks near Bozeman,
to which place they were taken for
trial. Jarves is a half-breed Indian
and after his arrest he appealed to
the interior department at Washington
for assistance. He and Stadtz were
to have been tried at the present term
of court Tuesday the prosecuting at
torney for Gallatin county moved their
discharge, saying that the state did
not have sufficient testimony to war
rant holding them longer.
Since the arrest of Gravelle and the
testimony they have been able to
secure against him during the time
that has interviewed has satisfied the
officers that he alone was RESPONSE
BILE and that all the other trails they
followed were wrong. A very sig
nificant fact in connection with the
matter is that no dynamite has been
found at any place along the tracks
and no explosions have occurred since
his incarceration. When here short
time ago Superintendent Boyle of the
Northern Pacific said that when the
time came for it the state would offer
testimony of such nature as to con-
vince the most ardent friends OF Ora
velle that no mistake was made in
his arrest. The proof of the mans
guilt, Mr.. Boyle declared, was abso-
lutely conclusive and complete.

HOWE TRIES TO ESCAPE.
Caught in Act Of Saving Out
Of JAIL

Of Jail.
Floodey Howe, who was tried here
and acquitted of the charge of running
livestock from it's accustomed range
and subsequently convicted of the
same offense at Red Lodge, is credited
with having made determined at
tempt to break Jail Tuesday night.
He is serving a sentence of 25 days,
imposed in lieu of the fine ordered
to be paid by the court. AS he has
already served a good portion of his
time it is believed that his attempted
escape was made because OF the fear
that upon his release he will be re-
arrested on warrant charging him
with grand larceny. It is said that
sufficient testimony has been secured
larceny of some of the Hungerford
horses, the removal of which from
their range was the cause of his first
arrest.
AS the story is told he was assisted
in his efforts to ragain his liberty by
Al Smith, who was wounded and cap
tured in running. fight with Deputy
Sheriff Holt of Columbus, near that
place a few months ago. Smith is
charged with having assisted in the
stealing of flock of sheep belonging
TO Carbon county parties. He was
in the hospital at Red Lodge for some
time after his arrest and since then
has been ''trusty" and has had many
opportunities to escape had he availed
himself of them. Because of the be-
lief that he and Howe were not dan
gerous they nave enjoyed the freedom
OF the corridors of the Jail, while the
other prisoners have been nightly
| placed in the cells.
Howe and Smith had secured six
! case knives and butcher knife. These
| they fashioned into saws and had sue
ceeded in almost severing one of the
steel bars protecting a window when
some men passing the jail heard the
! rasping sound they made while at
work The sheriff and his deputy
were notified and for a few moments
| they watched the two and then walked
| in on them.
Before beginning operations on the
| bar they attempted to release Lone
some Joe' and Frank Pearl, two al
legged horsethleves, from the cage, but
in this they failed. They had pried
off one lock, but could not open the
box containing. the Overlooking device
that fastens the cell doors from the
outside of the cage.

GOVERNOR TooLE YIELDS.
Issues Proclamation convening Legis
Iature in Extraordinary Session.

Iature in Extraordinary Session.
Last Wednesday Governor Toole is
sued a proclamation calling the leg
>islature to convene at Helena in ex-
traordinary session and naming De-
cember 1 as the day for opening the
meeting.
1t was in response to the many ap,
peals made to him for such action
that he finally took the step, but be-
fore making the call he wrote to Presi-
dent Scallon and other managers OF
Amalgamated properties asking them
if their promise to reopen the mines
and other works was contingent upon
the passage of the legislation asked
by the company, or whether work
would be resumed as soon as it was
known that the legislature would be
convened without waiting for the
kind or quality of legislation, if any,
which might be passed"
To this reply was made by President
Scallon and the other managers that
''the weight and forcefulness of the
consideration stated IN your letter are
respectfully acknowledged by us, and
we are quite satisfied that the subject
be confided to the chief executive and
the legislature of Montana, uninauenc-
ed by stress of widespread necessl-
ties or distressing conditions" The
answer also said that the parties ad-
dressed had been careful at the outset
ito refrain from making any declara-
ton regarding the effect upon resump-
ton of the calling of an extra session,
although solicited by quite number
of persons to do so, lest any such
statement should be open to miscon-
struction."
The proclamation followed imme-
diately upon receipt of the answer
and as soon as it's issuance became
known at Butte orders were given at
once to resume work in the mines
and tributary industries of the COM
pany, both at Butte and at other places
in the state. In consequence better
feeling prevails in all and the gloom
that had settled over those commune
ties has been raised.

WOMAN FoReER OPERATES IN
GARDEN CITY.
Her PLAN SAME AS HERE
Passes Bogus Checks Saturday After
Banking Hours and Disappears
Secures Small Amounts.

A story that comes from Missoula
makes it very evident that the local
officers were on the wrong trail when
they looked in an eastern direction
for the clever woman forger who oper-
ated here couple OF weeks ago.
From descriptions they obtained from
trainmen and others they were posi-
tive that when she left here it was
to go to Miles City, although one re-
port had it that she got off at Forsyth.
Acting on the information received,
the sheriff's Office wired and wrote
to both of those places and asked
that the woman be arrested and held.
From each answer came that no such
person had been seen there. Still the
sheriff was not satisfied and contin-
ued to think she would turn up and
walk into the trap laid for her. Now
he believes differently.
The woman was at MissOula last Sat
urday and there she worked the same
game that proved so successful here.
She waited until after the banks had
closed and then started out on her
tour of easy money making. AS
here she selected merchants and the
number she took in is about the same
as in this city. She was little more
, modest, however, as she secured small
er amounts, probably thinking that
because of the effects OF the Amalga-
mated shutdown her victims could not
stand quite as heavy drafts as those
she made on the Billings men. Eigh-
teen dollars was the amount she Sc
cured from each of the Missoula mer-
chants.
She called herself Mrs. John
ONeill'' and the checks she presented
purported to have been issued by May
Bros. and were made payable to John
ONeill," whom she said was her hus-
band. She claimed her husband had
| been working for May Bros. at Stew
ensville and that the checks were
given him in payment OF his wages.
! Across the face of each was written
payment in full 1t was not until
! after the banks opened Monday morn
| ing that the forgeries were discovered.
The woman is believed 20 have gone
west, with Spokane as her destination
| AS when here, the woman was ac-
companied by little girl about 3
years old. The woman is described
as about five feet and seven inches
! tall, with light hair and complexion
and quite slender. She was poorly
! dressed, wearing cheap shawl over
4 her shoulders, which was probably
donned for the occasion to better ena.
BILE her to appear as the wife of
workingman. In appearance she was
about As years of age.
All of Monday search was made by
the officers for the woman, but she
had disappeared. Undoubtedly she
took advantage of passing tram
Saturday night to get out of the city
and will be heard from again.
